“Medication calms your mind and heart and grounds you. People go through the day like a washing machine — on automatic mode, going through the motion. Meditation helps to let you see things clearer and connect with your heart. I meditate at night before bed to try to clear all the gunk I’ve been carrying through the day, all the frustrations and emotions. You just have to clear your mind. Even if it’s just for five minutes, it helps. In the morning, I sometimes meditate when I’m walking or driving, says Hui Ling.

“People may not be aware that different crystals have different properties. For example, citrine is about joy. Black jade is about protection — it’s the most protective crystal and it’s very rare. When you embark on a spiritual journey, you become more sensitive and feel energies a lot more. So it helps protect you from lower energies like certain emotions and souls that are lost, which in other words, are ghosts. And when you buy crystals, you need to be very open first and tune in to them. If you suddenly feel very heavy like something is pulling you down, it’s because the crystal is grounding you. There’s a lot of energy around and if you’re not grounded, you feel light-headed, as if you’re floating.”

“Different types of singing bowls work differently. A hand-held crystal quartz bowl is a heart chakra bowl, so it does healing specifically for the heart — for example, if someone has been through hurt and trauma or need healing from scars accumulated throughout the years. Or sometimes, people build barricades around their heart to appear less vulnerable. Some bowls are for the root chakra, which is more about survival, like if you worry about finances. Then there are some for the solar plexus chakra, which is mostly about fears and insecurities. Chakras [Sanskrit for ‘wheel’] need to be clear and spin very brightly so that you are balanced and are clear about what you want to do. When they’re blocked you feel like things aren’t moving the way you want them to, and feel more fear, insecurity, anger and worry.” Love and Light Festival is on Nov 23-25, 11am-8pm, at the Peony Junior Room (Level 4) at Marina Bay Sands Expo & Convention Centre.

Chakras, reiki, aura readings, crystals and oracle card readings. Think these belong to an episode of The Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina? Think again. Holistic and wellness treatments have been growing in popularity around the world, like in Australia where holistic centres and conventions have been gaining ground. This weekend (Nov 23-25), the Love and Light Festival, a wellness and holistic extravaganza, will see almost 20 practitioners convene at Marina Bay Sands to share how these various practices can heal the body, mind and soul. Spiritual and holistic merch like crystals, aromatherapy oils and candles will also be on sale. If you think it all sounds a little religious, festival founder Hui Ling, 46, assures us that holistic healing is not tied to any religion, but instead, focuses on energies and promotes spiritual health, mental clarity and physical well-being. We find out more from Hui Ling about alternative healing practices. Like, is it all really as hippie-dippie as it seems?
