Interview: Meditation, Healing and the Arts



This is a summary of a 4-part series interview by the Self Awareness Society Singapore in November 2020. We spoke about how meditation has helped me in healing, acting and writing over the last 20 years.

I participated in the Self Awareness Centre's 7-Day Transformation Journey (7DTJ) programme in the year 2002 and have benefited from it immensely. Therefore I am sharing this here, so that you too may benefit from it. The 7DTJ is a time-tested and money-back guarantee programme. Over 40,000 attendees have benefited from the programme over the last 26 years.

See Soar Above the Clouds.

This is the playlist:


PART 1:

- What is your aspiration? Is it very different from what you are doing every day? - How does meditation help you in acting? - What is success to you? - When you quit, that means that your passion is not strong enough? - Street fighting analogy to fearlessness.


PART 2:

My novel "Maid In Singapore"
- Writing it amid the silence of the Covid-19 Lockdown.
- The inspiring maids behind the story.
- Why it is written as a romantic comedy, instead of a social realistic drama.
- The difference between a novel and a movie in storytelling.
- 1 in 5 homes in Singapore has a maid - very alien to US, Canadian and European cultures.
- The difference between a theatrical release and a video-on-demand drama series.

PART 3:

The 7-Day Transformation Journey Programme
- That leap of faith.
- The mental growth by multitudes of intellect.
- The heart feeling light like a feather
- The beautiful aura after the programme.

How I heal my excruciating chronic back pain through meditation.
- Coping with life in pain
- Encounters with charlatans, conmen, quacks and naysayers.
- How I could possibly have forgotten about pain during a TV shoot.


PART 4:

- Why I have meditated regularly since the year 2002.
- Why busy people need to meditate more.
- Why we should always be vibrating at the highest level even in the bleakest of times.
- How meditation keeps you looking young. - Meditation helps me to get into character more easily in acting.
- How I navigated myself in the TV and film industry.
