Last week, I had the honour and pleasure of being invited by an experienced executive coach and trainer to facilitate a Mindfulness for Success Introductory Workshop for a private group.

One of the topics we explored was Presence — the ability to be fully present and listen deeply while holding space for another person. This is an especially valuable quality for those whose work involves coaching, training or supporting others.

I really appreciated the group’s openness, curiosity and participation throughout the workshop. ✨

Thank you, Leona, for the invitation and for bringing us together. I look forward to continuing the Mindfulness for Success Level 1 journey with some of you very soon. 🌿

上星期很榮幸亦很高興獲一位資深教練及培訓導師邀請，為一個私人小組帶領了一場 Mindfulness for Success 入門工作坊。

其中一個我們一起探索的課題是 Presence（臨在）——全然活在當下，並在陪伴他人的同時深入聆聽。對於從事教練、培訓或支援他人工作的人來說，這是一項尤其重要的能力。

很欣賞大家在整個工作坊中的開放、好奇和投入。✨

感謝 Leona 把大家聚在一起。期待很快與當中一些朋友在 Mindfulness for Success Level 1 課程繼續這段學習旅程。🌿

🌿 If personal growth is important to you, learning to manage stress matters.
(中文在下方)

Our stress response has an important protective function. But when we spend too much time in a heightened state of stress, it can become harder to think clearly and access the inner resources that support connection, learning and growth.

The goal isn't to eliminate stress or remain relaxed all the time.

It's about developing our capacity to recover from stress and regain balance.

🌿 Mindfulness practice can support this process.

✨ May we keep noticing when we shift into protection, and gently guide ourselves back to centre.

如果個人成長對你來說很重要，學習如何管理壓力亦同樣重要。

我們的壓力反應有一個重要的保護功能。但當我們長時間處於高度壓力的狀態，就可能較難清晰思考，以及運用有助我們連結、學習和成長的內在資源。

我們的目標並不是要消除壓力，亦不是要讓自己時刻保持放鬆。

重要的是培養我們從壓力中恢復，並重拾平衡的能力。

🌿 正念練習可以幫助我們經歷這個過程。

✨ 願我們在察覺自己進入保護模式時，能溫柔地帶自己回到中心。

🌿 Grateful for a wonderful evening with this vibrant group of parents!

Throughout last night's woekshop on Mindfulness for Stress Relief, I appreciated the group’s openness, thoughtful participation, and genuine curiosity to explore new ways of caring for themselves, their families, and those around them.

It's always encouraging to see what becomes possible when we simply pause, become present, and give ourselves permission to learn something new.

I look forward to seeing some of you again in our upcoming level one course, Mindfulness for Success: The Power of Awareness. 🌱

🌿 很感恩昨晚有機會與這班充滿活力嘅家長，一齊參與《正念減壓入門工作坊》。

喺整個工作坊中，我好欣賞大家嘅開放態度、積極參與，以及真誠地希望透過正念，學習照顧自己、家人，同埋身邊嘅人。

每一次當大家願意停一停、活在當下，並給自己一個學習同成長嘅機會，我都會深受鼓舞。

期待喺即將舉辦嘅 Level 1 課程《Mindfulness for Success：覺知的力量》，再見到其中一啲大家。🌱

🌿 Introducing the Heart-Centered ACT Personal Development Program
🌿 介紹 Heart-Centered ACT 個人成長課程

Over the past several months, I've had the privilege of facilitating the first Hong Kong cohort of A Course on Self-Love—a milestone that has been especially meaningful to me. 🌿

This course is part of my Heart-Centered Awareness, Creativity & Transformation (ACT) Personal Development Program, which I developed during my master's degree in Transpersonal Psychology in 2015.

Today, my work is offered through two growth pathways:
✨ Mindfulness for Success, which many of you may already be familiar with, and
✨ Presence & Conscious Living, where A Course on Self-Love is one of the signature courses.

When I first created A Course on Self-Love nearly a decade ago, my vision was to offer more than self-care tips or positive thinking. I wanted to create a space where people could reconnect with themselves, deepen their self-understanding, and cultivate a more loving relationship with themselves and others.

I'm deeply grateful to this wonderful group for their openness, trust, and willingness to do this inner work together.

Thank you for making this first Hong Kong cohort such a wonderful beginning. 🌸

🌿 介紹 Heart-Centered ACT 個人成長課程

過去幾個月，我很榮幸完成了香港第一屆 《A Course on Self-Love》，對我來說，這是一個特別有意義的里程碑。🌿

這門課程屬於我於 2015 年修讀美國超個人心理學（Transpersonal Psychology）碩士課程期間所建立的 Heart-Centered Awareness, Creativity & Transformation（ACT）個人成長課程。

目前，我的課程主要分為兩個成長路徑：
✨ Mindfulness for Success（正念邁向成功） —— 可能不少朋友已經認識；
以及
✨ Presence & Conscious Living（臨在與內在成長），而 《A Course on Self-Love》 正是其中一門核心課程。

約十年前，當我設計 《A Course on Self-Love》 時，我希望帶來的不只是自我照顧的方法或正向思考，而是一個讓人重新連結自己、加深自我了解，並學習以更多的愛去對待自己和身邊的人。

衷心感謝每一位學員的信任、投入，以及願意一起踏上這段內在探索的旅程。

感謝你們，讓香港第一屆《A Course on Self-Love》成為一個如此美好的開始。🌸

星期一晚上，有人選擇放慢腳步，留一點時間給自己。

衷心感謝每一位參加今次 《正念成功原則》入門工作坊 的朋友。

我很感恩大家願意敞開心扉學習，並在整個晚上真誠分享自己的想法和經驗。

我之所以熱愛這份工作，是因為我相信，最有效的領導者，都能夠結合清晰而平靜的思維，以及一顆充滿同理心與慈悲的心。

當我們願意停下來，往往會發現，更清晰的思路、更好的決定，以及更有意義的人際關係，都會自然地隨之而來。

再次感謝大家與我一起度過這個晚上，期待見證大家在正念旅程中的成長。🌿

On Monday evening, a group of business owners and professionals chose to slow down and invest a little time in themselves.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined the Mindfulness for Success Introductory Workshop.

I am grateful for everyone's openness to learn and to share their experiences throughout the evening.

One of the reasons I'm passionate about this work is because I believe the most effective leaders combine a clear and calm mind with a compassionate heart.

When we learn to pause, we often discover that greater clarity, better decisions, and more meaningful relationships naturally follow.

Thank you again for spending your evening with me. I look forward to seeing where your mindfulness journey leads next. 🌿

🌿 父親節提醒我，生命中有些人一直陪伴、支持或啟發著我們。

雖然我們今天常常想到父親，但許多人亦在導師、老師、長輩和家人的引導下成長。

他們的鼓勵、智慧和榜樣，往往在我們生命中留下深遠的影響。

今天，不妨花一點時間，感謝那些曾經引導、支持和相信我們的人。

❤️ 父親節快樂！

🌿 Father's Day reminds me of the people who have accompanied, supported, or inspired us along the way.

While we often think of fathers today, many of us have also been shaped by the guidance of mentors, teachers, elders, and family members.

Their encouragement, wisdom, and example can leave a lasting impact on our lives.

Today, perhaps we can take a moment to appreciate all those who have guided, supported, and believed in us.

❤️ Happy Father's Day!

🌿 Ancient Wisdom • Modern Application
🌿 古老智慧 • 現代應用

This morning, I had the opportunity to share my 5-minute feature presentation at BNI Energy.

As I reflected on the journey that led me here, I felt grateful.

Over the years, my path has taken me from the corporate world and business ownership, to studying psychology, mindfulness, meditation, and personal development, and eventually to developing the ACT Heart-Centered Personal Development Program in 2015 — a heart-centered approach to personal development grounded in mindfulness.

✨ Ancient Wisdom • Modern Application

Mindfulness is not about escaping life's challenges.

It is about meeting them with greater clarity, calm, and confidence.

This principle sits at the heart of my work with professionals and business owners through workshops, courses, and private mentoring.

I was also grateful to have Mimi, a long-time participant and entrepreneur, share a testimonial about her experience working with me over the years.

Thank you to everyone who attended, listened, and shared thoughtful conversations afterwards.

🙏 Grateful for the opportunity to share this work.

🌿 古老智慧 • 現代應用

今朝早，我有機會喺 BNI Energy 分享我嘅五分鐘主題演講。

當我回顧呢段帶領我走到今日嘅旅程時，心中充滿感恩。

多年來，我嘅人生道路由企業工作同創業開始，之後學習心理學、正念、冥想同個人成長，並最終喺2015年發展出 ACT 心導向個人成長課程 —— 一套以正念為基礎、以心為本嘅個人成長方法。

✨ 古老智慧 • 現代應用

正念並唔係逃避人生嘅挑戰。

而係以更清晰、更平靜同更有信心嘅心態去面對挑戰。

呢個理念一直係我透過工作坊、課程同一對一導師指導，服務專業人士同企業東主嘅核心。

我亦非常感謝 Mimi —— 一位多年來參與我課程及導師計劃嘅企業家 —— 喺今次分享中，為大家分享佢多年來與我同行嘅體驗同收穫。

多謝每一位出席、聆聽同會後交流嘅朋友。

🙏 感恩有機會分享我所熱愛嘅工作。

🌿 從內在開始創造豐盛

感謝大家參加昨日的《高端身心能量 × 智慧人生講座》。

很高興能分享 「冥想顯化——用內在覺知連接豐盛」 這個主題，並帶領大家體驗一段正念冥想。

在分享中，我們一起探討：

✨ 豐盛不一定只代表金錢。
它也可以包括健康、內心平靜、機會、成長，以及有意義的人生。

✨ 顯化不只是許願。
對我而言，顯化是更有意識地覺察自己的內在狀態，以及我們如何思考、選擇、說話和行動。

✨ 當我們培養更多覺察、平靜與清晰，
我們往往能以不同的方式回應生活，並作出更有意識的選擇。

我亦分享了一個自己十分認同的觀點：

🌱 財富本身並不保證幸福感。沒有內在平衡與內心平靜，我們未必能真正享受自己所擁有的一切。

感謝每一位參與者，也感謝主辦單位及其他講者，共同創造了一個充滿學習、交流與啟發的下午。

🌿 Creating Abundance from the Inside Out

Thank you to everyone who joined us at the High-End Mind-Body Energy × Wisdom for Life Seminar.

I was delighted to share on the topic:
“Meditative Manifestation — Connecting to Abundance Through Inner Awareness.”

During the session, we explored how abundance is not only about money. It may also include health, peace of mind, opportunities, personal growth, and living a meaningful life.

We also reflected on what manifestation means. To me, manifestation is not simply about wishing for something. It is about becoming more conscious of our inner state and how we think, choose, speak, and act.

As we cultivate greater awareness, calm, and clarity, we often begin responding to life differently and making more intentional choices.

One message I hope participants took away is:
🌱 Wealth alone does not guarantee wellbeing. Without inner balance and peace of mind, it can be difficult to fully enjoy what we have.

Thank you to all the participants, the organiser, and my fellow speakers for a meaningful afternoon of learning, sharing, and inspiration.
