Meditation For Health – Healing Touch

Sally Forrest
14th December 2016


Dis-ease means your body (and your mind) have moved away from Ease.

You are out of balance in some way or another.

It is simply a message to STOP and take a look at life and how you are living it.
First ask this question "What is the message I need to learn at this moment in life?"

Then simply find a peaceful space, close your eyes, focus on your breathing, meditate and allow the answer to come to you.

Every so often I find myself feeling tired through overworking and pushing my body out of balance. 7 days of working whilst it is exciting and high paced, it does leave a toll on the body.

When this happens I simply take off into nature and simply become one with whatever is around me. I sit and listen to the sounds of nature, I observe the sights of nature, I smell the smells of nature and I allow all of this to permeate into my body and touch my senses and to bring my body back into balance.
Meditation simply brings your attention to whatever you want to focus upon in life.

It allows you to be one pointed in your thoughts.

So if your health is being affected, then take the time to shift your focus onto your body and bring it back into balance.

Your body is giving you a message and it does not lie – so do listen to it :

A headache often means you are putting too much pressure on yourself.

A backache means you feel unsupported or are putting things behind you and not wanting to face them.


Losing your voice can mean you are not being authentic or speaking your truth.


Issues of the immune system may mean you are exhausted and feel as if life is all too much.


The meanings are there and can be seen once you develop more awareness.

The real question is – will you take responsibility for the messages and make the required changes in life?

Often we do not value or appreciate our health until we get a disease, so become aware and celebrate this amazing body that we all have.

Everything begins in the mind with a single thought, so chose to value your body and value your health and enjoy life fully.

We have one life – live it fully – with awareness and with balance.

Sally teaches Meditation and Reiki and is available for one on one consultations on any aspect of life, health, happiness and life balance.

She is highly sought after so please do book an early appointment in 2017 to get your year off to a great start!

What is Meditation – Meditation for Beginners

Sally Forrest
16 November 2016

The term meditation is often misunderstood.

Many assume that it is difficult to learn and that you have to sit cross legged on the floor for hours on end and achieve a state of “no thought”.

Many think it is linked to certain religions and is not for everyone.
Allow us to clarify exactly what meditation is and how it can support you in life.

Meditation simply is a way that allows you to see how your thoughts are affecting your reality.

"As you think, so you become" is the basis of meditation.

Once you start to see your thoughts and understand that they really do affect how you feel and act in life, then you have a choice to take.

“Do I want to keep thinking in a certain way – always reacting to the external world and its stimulus, and getting disturbed and upset about things I cannot control or do I want to choose my thoughts in a considered way and respond to life differently.”

Let me give you an example; you are driving to work in the morning and a car suddenly cuts into your lane with no indication.

The first reaction could be to horn the driver, get angry and allow this anger to translate into actions (you pull an angry face at the driver- raise a finger in the air – get angry and rant to those in your car, naming and blaming the driver in front as “an idiot/stupid “)

I think you know the scene and it’s a familiar one.

In the moment of anger, you lose all of your happiness and it was not even something that you did – it was as a result of an external event.

With meditation, you first see what is happening and then see how your thoughts are reacting to the external situation. You then simply allow yourself to make a decision – do these thoughts support me and my peaceful/calm mind or not?

The event has happened already and you cannot change or control the external event. However, what you can control is how your respond to it.

Meditation provides you with tools and techniques that allow you to choose how you want to respond to life instead of reacting to it.

It is easy to learn and at SoulCentre® techniques are shared that you can apply in every situation that life offers.

At SoulCentre® we teach through life stories and practical techniques that will suit every occasion.

We teach from beginner all the way to teacher level. Many of our teachers now travel all over the world teaching and sharing the wisdom with others.

Anyone and everyone can learn, children from the age of 6 all the way to seniors of 86 have passed through our Meditation Made Simple® programs.

So what are you waiting for?

It will be the best decision you have ever made.

Reiki Singapore – Healing For All

Sally Forrest
2 November 2016

I first discovered Reiki over 15 years ago whilst living in Thailand.

As a medical pharmacist I found it fascinating to see how healing can take place naturally and how once the body and mind are peaceful and positive then healing follows.

I am a firm believer that the body has an innate intelligence and intuitively “knows” how to heal itself, we simply have to get into the flow of being in harmony and balance and allow the miracles to happen.

Reiki is easy to learn and super easy to use, all you need to do is to put your hands on yourself and the healing flows.
Having taught thousands of students, from all ages and all walks of life, it is fascinating to see that Reiki affects people primarily on one of 3 levels :
  • The Physical Level  (healings occur in the body)
  • The Emotional Level (negative emotions are replaced with a more pragmatic and positive approach to life)
  • The Mental Level (how you think about life starts to change, and the small issues no longer become issues)
Students arrive for our Reiki programs not knowing what to expect, there is natural apprehension and maybe even a “fear of the unknown”.

However they soon discover and experience the Reiki “magical effects” and I always say its like receiving an “eye bath”, suddenly the world looks different and you move in the flow of life in a smooth and easy way.

Synchronicity starts to kick in and amazing events unfold just at the right time and the results are super positive.

At SoulCentre we teach Reiki to many professionals, Spa Therapists, Reiki Practitioners and medical doctors.

We provide professional and complete training for students to become Reiki practitioners and teachers.

We teach to high standards because we want everyone who receives Reiki to do so in a professional and supportive manner.

Reiki really is for everyone and the benefits are instant.

It is the best gift that you can give to yourself and it is with you for life.

Register for one of our Reiki programs and see how life changes…… it will be the start of a new and exciting chapter in life.

Meditation Courses - What Are The Benefits Of Learning Meditation In A Group Class

Sally Forrest 
12th October 2016

We have been teaching Meditation & mindfulness at SoulCentre for the past 12 years.

Many different people have passed through our doors and each one leaves a happier and calmer person as a result.

Finding a good teacher is the secret of meditation.

It is easy to do on line courses or listen to guided meditations and to think that this is what meditation is all about, however this is not the truth.

The true test of meditation is when the storms of life hit us and we are able to stay anchored and calm as we sail through them.
Many people are not able to do this and at the first sign of trouble a few things happen;
The “why me” response …life is not fair and why has this hit me
  • The “why me” response …life is not fair and why has this hit me.
  • The verbal reaction happens – Sh*t - F*** - Bas***d ……you pick the language – the chances are this is what you say the moment the storm hits. “Jesus” is another popular one and often it is uttered from people who are not particularly religious.
  • The blame starts – if so and so had not done x/y/z …then this would not have happened to me….
  • Often we become angry – we feel like we are victims – we moan, crib and blame everyone else but ourselves.

This is the benefit of a teacher, a real person who will simply listen and hold up a mirror for us to see the reality of our life. We begin to see why the things that happen to us do so.

Our thoughts, actions and choices brought the storm upon us, so now, how we chose to respond will determine the next chapter.

The joys of group meditation allow you to experience the lives of many other individuals and to listen and learn from them.

Experiences are shared and a storm that one person is going through may resonate with you and you can see a different way of dealing with it.

Alternatively the storm may not have hit you just yet, but who knows what the future holds and at least you are prepared.

One thing is for sure, we all encounter storms, and with the right tools and training we can adjust our sails and continue with life.

Group meditation classes have many benefits and these include;
  • Like-minded people on the journey to calmness.
  • A sharing of experiences.
  • A sharing of techniques and what worked and great ideas how to benefit even more.
  • A brotherhood and sisterhood develops.
  • Successes are celebrated and people start to notice your calmness and gentle aura.
  • Ideas are shared openly and ones that you can apply to your life should be welcomed and applied.
  • You start to realize that everyone has issues and stuff happening to them – and actually your life is not that different from others.
  • The dramas start to reduce as you realize they are no longer dramas, unless of course we choose to make them into dramas.
  • You have a dedicated teacher who supports you and guides you on this journey called life.

We teach meditation each month in 4 session courses ( morning and evening sessions).

If you have not learnt yet, what are you waiting for?

It's the best gift that you can give to yourself!
