Transform & Thrive

Host Helen Lee interviews Masami Sato, Founder and CEO of B1G1 (BUY1GIVE1), a global giving initiative that is rapidly expanding into a global movement. By helping businesses embed the process of giving right into their everyday operations, B1G1 makes business giving easy, effective and meaningful by focusing funds towards 500 carefully selected high-impact giving projects.

Masami is also a best selling Amazon author with the books ‘Legacy : The Sustainable Development Goals in Action’, ‘Joy : The Gift of Acceptance, Trust and Love’, and ‘Giving Business – Creating the Maximum Impact in the Meaning-Driven World.’ A two time TEDx speaker and frequent podcast, event and media interviewee, Masami spreads her message of philanthropy and a new way of global business and is now the latest treasured guest of Transform and Thrive.

Helen and Masami discuss how she became an entrepreneur and change maker, the start of B1G1, the power of small, positive life philosophy and the changes we need to make within ourselves to step forward.  This includes Masami's idea of harnessing gratitude for the positives in our business, making full use of the power of collaboration among many worldwide and turning this combined positive energy into a force for good!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Masami was born in Japan, with hard working parents in the corporate world. Shy and not outspoken but very curious, her first international journeys taught her how similar people throughout the world are and also how kind. 
• When she became a mother, she thought about all the children in the world not as lucky as her own and this spurred her on to become an entrepreneur to fund philanthropic efforts with her own food company. 
• By breaking down into small, daily activities, the need to fund giving activities becomes habitual and simple, with more businesses being able to access these giving models, creating a larger groundswell of philanthropy and a movement of kindness and giving.
• As recently as May 2021, B1G1 had already facilitated more than 193 million giving impacts. Yet, amazingly, the numbers have now surged to more than 303 million in just over a year!
• The message of B1G1 spreads exponentially from business to business through their contacts with each other. 
• Instead of seeing lack and limitation within ourselves, that add up to a sense of powerlessness to make a difference and inaction to take any steps to help transform our world, we can all take small actions daily and collectively create a massive impact.
• We are starting to recognise the flaw in the model of short term profit maximisation and we are starting to think about long term implications. Awareness of the negativity of the old models is growing. 
• Masami truly embodies the Higher Intelligence that we are being called to align with and focuses on all that is important with such grace, energy and determination by simply doing what we can each day instead of obsessing over what we cannot do, and with the support and contribution of her husband Paul Dunn who is Chairman and Co-Founder of B1G1, their team and members.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I was very touched and inspired by how like, no matter how little some people had, there was so much generosity.’ – Masami

‘Then I thought, what if instead of trying to do a big thing, one day, what if we did something small every day, from today? That was the start of the idea of B1G1.’ – Masami

‘We always see ‘big’ things in the media and everywhere. Quite often, those big things could be negative big things, like climate change or war, or refugees being displaced and all that kind of overwhelming big issues. Then, we feel powerless, sad or negative.’ – Masami

‘Actually our day to day actions, when we do it together, rather than alone, can be very powerful. And by transforming our regular habits, we could actually really transform our destiny. That’s why the power of small is important.’ – Masami

‘Because of what you’ve done it’s growing to that point where it can grow even further and really fast now, is that true?’ – Helen

‘Because humans are afflicted with this concept of not being good enough, this false idea of not being good enough. So, it holds us back, this idea of perfection.’ – Helen 

‘It's very difficult to make a judgement on what’s better or what’s more important.  What we can do instead is to appreciate the fact that all these things could be important. But the difference is bringing together different actions, different aspirations, different people, different experiences and ideas, is really more important in enabling us all to move forward. I think that actually makes our journey more enjoyable and meaningful.’ – Masami 

'As we become braver, understand things more, respect each other and not jump onto judgment but really reflect what we can do today, and put in place certain actions, rather than feeling overwhelmed by things we cannot change. If all of these businesses start to align together with the new set of values, then we can actually change this world and create greater sustainability. But it is a critical time, whether we will have time to turn things around.' - Masami

‘If we could all come together with different intentions but also with the shared understanding that we are in it together, we are not individuals. As a whole we share this place together and if this place cannot exist anymore, none of us will be here.’ – Masami 

‘Her views carry what I call the essence of Higher Intelligence, which I have talked about quite often in my various episodes, especially the solo ones.’ - Helen

‘We all have access to this Higher Intelligence and are called to increasingly align with and embody it now. So, this is a very heartening interview for me, to see it embodied and exercised in this courageous lady.’ – Helen 

‘It is a simple, powerful and delightful approach for all of us to adopt, to get off our behinds and contribute positively towards creating our collective destiny and world.’ – Helen

Many of us, much of the time, do not allow ourselves to be truly free and really live fully. We either have restrictions imposed externally on us, or we limit ourselves because of our fears. It is not about fighting for freedom against restrictive authority, but a true sense of freedom within ourselves where we dare to be who we really are and give ourselves the freedom to live the lives we can consciously create.

Host Helen Lee explains her inspiration for this episode, how we must commit fully to this unique time in the history of humanity and not take half measures to be our true and greatest selves,  live life wholeheartedly, and transform and thrive greatly in the process. 

 
KEY TAKEAWAYS

BEST MOMENTS

‘This quote certainly inspired me to create this podcast episode as it is very much in sync with what is being urged of humanity right now, to go within and be our unlimited and expanded Selves.’

‘It is a time when we can come together with our kindred spirits or soul family and co-create the things that matter greatly to us. A time when we can take care of our own needs and desires and simultaneously create abundance for others and contribute towards creating a world of peace and prosperity, joy and freedom for all living things.’

‘However, I’m not advocating that you throw out the baby with the bath water either. I’m all for being grounded and practical, results focused, and taking one step at a time. But by the same token, now is not the time when we are supposed to hide the truth from ourselves. We have to be totally honest with ourselves.’

‘Allow me to show you how, and to rise up and flourish so beautifully and as quickly as you and your divine plan would let you as well.’

Host Helen Lee continues with Part 2 of her interview with Paul Dunn, Chairman of B1G1 (BUY1GIVE1) Business for Good, a global giving initiative that has grown into a global movement to introduce a new change making model for a newly transforming world.

Humanity has been immersed in a culture of what we can get, much more than what we can give, when the essence of our true nature is love and a generosity of spirit.  But there is an increasing number of business leaders worldwide who are influencing the shift and return to our natural caring and giving aspects.  

And Paul Dunn and his wife Masami Sato have been doing just that through B1G1 in the last 15 years.  Being caring, giving and loving coupled with making a difference as an integral part of our daily lives not only help us personally but makes good business sense as well, as they and other leaders have shown and Paul speaks about in this episode. 

Helen and Paul discuss a new attitude to ageing, enjoying every moment, combined impacts, the future of business and governments, the lessons of history, the motivations of social enterprises and the progress of B1G1.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• We have been living in a culture that focuses on what we can get, with a scarcity mindset installed in most of our methods and systems. Paul and his wife Mesami Sato offer through B1G1 a new model which provides small and medium businesses worldwide an opportunity to install a giving system to more than 500 carefully selected, high impact projects that they can choose from.
• B1G1 is now growing exponentially in terms of its number of members and giving impacts they create together, making a real difference to lives of many worldwide.  We can also look forward to all companies becoming social enterprises in 15 years' time, and come together to be a collaborative force for good. 
• Paul is 28,771 days old at the time of this recording, no longer celebrating birthdays but marking every day we are alive on this planet. The opportunity that we have to capture moments daily during our time here deserves more than being measured in years.
• If we see only the worst in history, it destroys our capacity to take action. Yet there are so many points in history where people behaved magnificently, and inspiringly. Acknowledging these points can help us act (to do good and make a positive impact) in even small ways and we don’t even have to wait for the future, but live for now, do things now, make our world a better place now, each in our own way.
• Businesses come alive with truly engaged employees and enthusiastic operations when they become social enterprises. Profit can be uninspiring for many in the corporate world, but creating global changes can truly energise and motivate leaders and employees greatly.
• More than 301 million giving impacts have been achieved by B1G1. This illustrates the growing impact of social enterprises. An impact can be a planted tree, a child provided with schooling, water provided to a community and anything that raises a smile. 

BEST MOMENTS

‘Whatever that business activity may be, they can be committed to doing good for someone or something, some place in the world, be it planting a tree, saving someone from sex trafficking, providing clean water or building a school, etc.’ – Helen

‘Reality is that there’s a lot of stuff going on. “To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic, it is based on the fact that human history brings a history of not only cruelty but also of compassion, of sacrifice, of courage and kindness.”’ – Paul

‘Very often people wonder  what kind of impact or difference they can make, just them. It's about our gathering together that creates that impact.’ - Helen

'The government was doing a survey and the survey basically said ‘do you think we should offer tax incentives for social enterprises?’ I’m sure the people doing the survey expected me to say yes. My response was that in 15 years we will ALL be social enterprises.’ – Paul

‘Why wouldn’t I be living the legacy everyday?’ – Paul

‘Our lives would be greatly enriched if we did this and be driven by something much greater than ourselves.’ – Helen

Host Helen Lee continues her discussion of a new style of business for a transformed world with an interview with Paul Dunn, Chairman of B1G1 (BUY1GIVE1) Business for Good, a global giving initiative that has grown into a global movement. B1G1 helps businesses embed giving right into the heart of everyday activities and makes business giving easy, effective and meaningful. It focuses on connecting small to medium sized businesses with more than 500 carefully selected high-impact giving projects.

Paul is a four time TEDx speaker, winner of the Global Lifetime Achievement Award for Service to the Accounting Profession, entrepreneur, master presenter and keynote speaker. Known for building great businesses, he was also featured in Forbes, alongside Richard Branson in a 2014 feature on Disruptive Business Ideas That Worked.

Helen and Paul discuss the origin of B1G1, the philosophy of world change through business and what he; Founder, CEO & his wife Masami Sato; his team and a growing number of members have achieved for the world.   

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Paul gets out of bed every morning to help business owners and their teams create more impact on our world and in their businesses than they ever could have imagined possible.
• “What if we were able to create a world where every time business was done, something great happened in the world?”, Masami asked Paul in 2007 to consider. "Imagine if every time someone bought a cup of coffee, a child in need got access to life-saving water?  Or when an author sells a book, a tree gets planted?", Masami explained. This momentous conversation 15 years ago gave birth to their setting up B1G1 with a vision of life-changing impact being created every time a business sells a product or service.  
• Today, we can go beyond being only profit and even purpose driven to being impact driven.  We can also move from solving for problems to solving for potential, just as Nature does and Paul refers to, in this episode.
• What B1G1 does is let you look at micro impacts that have incredible outcomes. All of us at some point know that there is something more, but what we often don’t know is how to achieve it. Rather than doing something big in the future, we can do something small right now, every day. This is the philosophy of B1G1. This is the power of small.
• Paul, Masami and their team run B1G1 from Singapore. Together with their members, they have amazingly created more than 301 million giving impacts to date.  Both the number of members and impacts are growing exponentially as well.
• B1G1 members can choose from more than 500 high impact giving projects under the categories of education, environment, food, health, shelter, income generation, human rights, and life enhancement.  Check out https://b1g1.com/ for more information and if you feel called to do so, become a member making your own impacts on the world today.  You can select from 4 levels of membership.
• B1G1 has grown from being a business to being a movement. It is about creating a world that is full of giving by shifting the spirit of businesses to that of a giving one, thereby helping the entire organisation or team transform in the process.  "We are all at our best when we are giving," as Paul points out. It allows for a specific transaction-based giving model to small and medium enterprises worldwide. 
• Helen has created a global group online program called ‘Invincible You : The Hero's Journey’ to support everyone in the world rise and thrive during these phenomenal and challenging times. It is based on the methodology she created more than two decades ago (honed and upgraded over the years), that has since impacted thousands of people worldwide from Chairmen and Presidents of conglomerates to children and the whole range in between.  

BEST MOMENTS

‘We were talking about the distinction between talking about things and actually doing things. So, chairmen are often thought about as thinking about things. And, by the way, it's very important for chairmen to do that.’ – Paul

‘“The storyteller sets the vision, the values and the agenda for an entire generation yet to come.” (Steve Jobs, 1994). When I read that I realised that all of the things that we do are not about us, it’s about something greater than us.’ - Paul 

‘All of a sudden, once you get that new understanding, what happens is you just see things that were there all the time but you never saw them before.’ – Paul

‘I’d like to know what’s the difference for you before B1G1 and after. Because it was life changing, right?’ – Helen

‘If you ask me that now, I would add “to recognise that you can just create an enormous difference in the world by doing awesome things once you look at the world in a new way.” I would refer to that as you can become impact driven as opposed to purpose driven. When that happens you get what happened to me and that is you just become curiouser and curiouser and curiouser, and in that curiosity you continue to find just incredible realisations that you didn’t have before.’ – Paul 

'The pandemic has taught us that we are all connected. It's no longer about me, it's about we. When you start to get that we need to move from self to something bigger than self, from value to values, from transactions to belonging, from income to impact, from profit to purpose, everything there (on the right hand side of what I said) is about humanity.' - Paul 

‘“If working apart we are a force powerful enough to destabilise our planet, surely working together we are powerful enough to save it.” said Sir David Attenborough at Cop26 in 2021. Once you get that, you automatically have this thing that kind of powers you, which is that thing that is bigger than yourself.' - Paul 

'We move from the wisdom of one to the wisdom of many. When we find a way of combining that, then we can do great things together.’ - Paul 

‘Masami is both the founder and CEO of B1G1, and the couple and their team are based in Singapore together with their B1G1 members worldwide have created more than 301 million giving impacts to date. Isn’t that incredible?’ – Helen

‘Our personal and corporate or business worlds are already shifting. People are becoming more conscious of not only our interconnection but our need to make a difference and to care enough to do so.’ – Helen

‘I see us rising together, transforming and thriving together. This is indeed a very special time for us. As I wrote two years ago, we have our work cut out for us and need to have many more people join us, in making good across our world, across all fields of reality from our environment and climate justice to justice for all humans and all sentient beings everywhere, indeed.’ - Helen

Host Helen Lee continues her discussion with Dame Doria Cordova, the CEO / Owner of Excellerated Business Schools and Money & You, global organisations operating since 1979 with over 200,000 graduates from over 85 countries. Her purpose in life is to uplift humanity's consciousness through socially-responsible businesses, to teach people to create an Economic Engine around their Life Purpose. And one of her wonderful missions is also to feed the hungry worldwide by getting 100 billionaires to donate a billion dollars each.

Helen introduces this episode by talking about some of what the world has already done or is doing towards this end. She feels that we have not eradicated poverty as yet because the level of human consciousness has not risen en masse as yet. Certainly, this and other global problems of climate change and inequality, etc must be addressed and as we step up to meet them, we will do so, together, each in our own way.

Doria’s organisation has already created many entrepreneurs who have produced businesses that help solve the world's problems, placing the Earth and its resources and humanity at their forefront.  So have others who have platforms that help businesses contribute to a more positive world or create communities that rally around various critical issues that affect humanity.

Helen and Doria talk about the current global economy, applying scepticism to combat those peddling fear of scarcity, what we can do for ourselves to thrive at this time, where to go to learn what you need to know, global paradigm shifts and how they will create change within us and how love and light in the most grounded and practical way has to be the path ahead for humanity.  

Helen has, therefore, consciously chosen to interview change makers such as Doria (Episodes 38 & 39), Mia Kyricos (Episodes 28 & 29) and Neil Jacobs (Episode 14) who have successfully combined commercialism with consciousness and used love as a business strategy. And also featured those who can help others create wealth for themselves and specifically, to improve their relationship with money, such as Doria and Sarah McCrum (Episode 12).  

Enjoy this episode and check out all the others mentioned above. There will be more to come. And in the meantime, transform with Helen, raise your consciousness and your "Deservability Quotient™️" as well, through this podcast, her Transform & Thrive Membership Club and the upcoming "Deservability Challenge™️" she will be conducting for listeners and clients soon. Check out www.transformandthrive.club and www.leeheiss.com for details.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The biggest challenge that we have is the sense that we live in a world of scarcity. Whenever you feel fear, your sense of scarcity has just been triggered. We need to feel sufficiency to circumvent this misaligned programming that we carry, that there is not enough for all of us.
• It is Doria's viewpoint that, often, those who predict an economic collapse or are constantly reiterating what she feels is a fear-based message have something to gain from it. She advises people to approach such predictions and messages with scepticism and intelligently, search for motive among fear pushers that they are financially gaining from the promotion of scarcity consciousness.
• Helen feels that no matter what happens or not, we need to review and reinvent ourselves, shift from a scarcity consciousness to an abundance mentality and create  prosperity for ourselves in all areas of our lives - as she has been advocating in the last two decades and this podcast (all the various episodes).
• Love works. Light works. Anything that isn’t that, let it go. If there is going to be a shift in the world, when people understand that love is central. 
• Dame Doria’s business schools specialise in teaching entrepreneurs  to solve some of the world's problems. This is the way forward at this time. People must be innovative to find new ways to thrive while the old ways collapse. Learn to create an economic engine around your life purpose.
• The new paradigm that is being created is for humans to go inside and work from within. 

BEST MOMENTS

'I love it that she (Doria) has diligently and endlessly helped people all over the world create conscious, profitable and sustainable businesses that support both humanity and our planet.'

‘How about the average person? What would you say to them? How can they not only survive but thrive at this time when there is soaring inflation and generally things seem to be a lot harder?’ – Helen 

‘Many people around me that I’m no longer surrounded by actually thrive from that fear. Whenever someone is peddling a lot of fear and ‘the collapse’, I always want to see what they’re selling.’ – Dame Doria

‘You have to work from within but you also have to have very solid businesses and all I’m recommending when I speak of love and light is that you focus on that and not on the fear.’ – Dame Doria

'The new paradigm that is being created is for humans to go inside, and that's why I was willing to come and do this interview...' - Dame Doria

In this episode Host Helen Lee interviews Dame Doria Cordova, the CEO / Owner of Excellerated Business Schools and Money & You, global organisations operating since 1979 with over 200,000 graduates from over 85 countries. Her purpose in life is to uplift humanity's consciousness through socially-responsible businesses, to teach people to create economic engines around their life purpose.

Doria’s organisation has already created many entrepreneurs who have produced businesses using socially responsible methods, placing the Earth and its resources and humanity at their forefront. 

Helen and Doria discuss her organisation of experiential, transformational and entrepreneurial education, her early career and epiphany leading to her complete change of purpose, the key figures in her career and their influence on her, the nature of the transformational training industry, the eradication of hunger and her mission.  

These key figures included Buckminster Fuller and Marshall Thurber. The latter is said to have been named the godfather of business and has been responsible for teaching some of the world's greatest business minds including Tony Robbins, Robert Kiyosaki and Jack Canfield through the Money & You program he created together with Bobbi DePorter.  And Doria then partnered Robert Kiyosaki for 9 years to bring the program to Asia Pacific.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Originally a Court Reporter working in Los Angeles and Hawaii, Dame Doria had an epiphany in 1976 which set her on a very different path. 
• Doria, after involvement in The Hunger Project realised that her life purpose was to work towards ending world hunger and poverty on a global scale. 
• The transformational training industry is currently worth about 100 billion a year, including all of the different facets contained within, and Doria is a key representational figure for that industry.
• The core of what Excellerated Business Schools and Money & You teaches helps its graduates to create a supportive economic system around their life purpose.

• Doria was knighted as Dame of Honor by The Sovereign Order of the Orthodox Order of St. John – Russian Grand Priory for her lifelong service to humanity. She was later advanced to Dame Commander of Grace, and then to Chancellor of the California Priory of the Order for her contribution to the growth of the Order.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I was very blessed. I attended the first business school for entrepreneurs of its kind in 1978, so the business school was created in 1978 and Money and You was launched in 1979, and that’s the work that I originally inherited.’ – Dame Doria 

‘That was when I had this sense that I had a job to do in the world and not be a party girl. Not that I was that much of a party girl but, you know, I just thought I’d spend a lot of money travelling, having fun and being a 26 year old!’ – Dame Doria

‘We have a tremendous history in the industry but ultimately Marshall and Bobbi were the people that created that industry.’ – Dame Doria

‘He just takes me to the most beautiful divine life that I have had. I just keep going more internal, and focusing more on love, and love and light, and letting go of everything that’s fear based and anything that creates fear in other human beings.’ – Dame Doria 

‘Why has your program influenced and impacted so many people who are well known like Tony Robbins and was it Jack Canfield as well?” – Helen. ‘And Mark Victor Hansen, Chicken Soup for the Soul, yeah.’ – Dame Doria

‘The way that I was placed in the Universe was for me to “support and lead an organisation that was going to churn out social entrepreneurs that were going to go and do good work in the world.”’ – Dame Doria

‘Together, as we, ourselves, transform and thrive, we will make sure that all of humanity does so as well and we will co-create a whole new world.’ – Helen

Host Helen Lee elaborates on last week's topic, with a special focus on why alignment and awareness are key for us at this time of massive transformation. She discusses the possible upcoming economic recession and how we can, not only survive but thrive, whether this materialises or not.

It is by reinventing ourselves and innovating greatly that we can flourish in the face of this possible challenge which some still insist is inevitable but can actually be averted, if we are proactive now. The seeming threat or possibility of one can serve the purpose of having us step up and create wonderful new businesses, approaches, products, services and various ways of doing things, working and collaborating with each other.  

For starters, we need to let go of old beliefs and programming around not only economic abundance but abundance of all kind, including our own self worth and value. As we let go of our own outmoded mental structures around scarcity, lack and limitation, transform and be our expanded and abundant selves, we can and will do the same for the old systems we have in place worldwide that can no longer serve the majority of people well.

So, our way forward has to be about operating much more from our hearts and powerful.   inner alignment which we need to create and incrementally strengthen. Our journey  includes the dismantling of all that is old or outdated within ourselves and our world, which involves the raising of human consciousness and our evolution. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Some people believe that the world is moving towards a recession, whereas others believe that a recession is not inevitable. What is current is an economic crisis in some countries and not others and worldwide inflation.  
• NOTE: In mid-August, Helen was verbally informed by a podcast guest, without any verification whatsoever, that the US inflation rate was at zero. It was at an all-time high in June and stabilised at around 8.5% in July.  In the UK, BBC News predicted just a few days ago, that inflation will go up to 13%. FocusEconomics - a leading provider of economic consensus forecasts for 132 countries in Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas - forecasts that consumer price inflation in China will average only 2.2% in 2022 and 2.3% in 2023.
• The best way to support ourselves, no matter what transpires or not, is to reinvent ourselves and innovate greatly. We must change the way we think and the beliefs and programming we hold around being and having enough.  
• All humans need to rise up from old programs of lack and limitation to those of ease and grace, peace and plenty. The more we can let go of these unfounded beliefs the faster the outmoded systems within our world will be replaced by new and upgraded systems we will create from our much higher level of consciousness. 
• The idea is to not manifest material things that we need from our fear and ego based minds, but to move towards being the powerful creators we are all capable of being. We can then create consciously from the blue print of abundance that we already have within us and with we can materialise in our external lives.
• We currently label these ideas as being ‘spiritual’ and therefore separate from our everyday work lives and personal lives. We need to open our hearts much wider and our minds will follow suit, applying them to ALL areas of our lives and thrive greatly, both individually and collectively. More and more of us can truly thrive in all areas of our lives now!

BEST MOMENTS

‘Let us, in any case, review where we are at and wish to go, and take the necessary out of the box actions that will stand us in good stead and prepare us for an abundant future, no matter what.’

‘So we begin with the big job of dismantling and dissolving the old programs of scarcity, lack and limitation within us. I’ve been talking about this in the last two to three decades that I’ve been coaching, and it is also in almost all of my podcast episodes because this is a fundamental human issue. ’

‘We need to first know that we are more than enough and that we deserve the very best always, in all ways. To know this from a cellular, rather than intellectual, level, from deep within us, we need to do a whole lot of inner work that shifts us greatly, if not completely.’

‘With increased alignment comes increased awareness of both self and all that's around us. Our internal and external world, extending out into the whole Universe. I was able to do this in a big way from the year 2000, after my golden light experience.’  

‘Our external world will match our inner world thereafter. There is no waiting for things to materialise, when we do it right.’

We are already halfway to the Autumn Equinox and more than halfway through 2022. This year is very much about our transformation so that we can thrive immeasurably in the years to come. What seems to be the impending doom of economic collapse is actually a tremendous opportunity for humanity to exponentially raise our consciousness.   

Our transformation cannot take place without deconstruction of our old systems and mental constructs. They were created from the past limited level of collective consciousness and are no longer suitable or appropriate to carry us forward. 

To solve the massive problems that our former human consciousness has helped to cause, we need to raise our awareness massively to be able to collectively act to overcome our difficulties. Intellectual rationality will not be enough for us to do this and to raise our spiritual awareness Helen and her team of coaches are here to guide us in our move towards our higher spiritual selves, connecting us with our soul or spirit and onwards to the universal consciousness that connects us all. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Albert Einstein taught us that no problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it. He realised that the intellect has little role on the road to discovery and what we need to do is evolve to overcome the current problems that have been caused by our previous limited spiritual level. 
• When you examine the lives of the most influential people who have ever walked among us you discover one thread that winds through them all. They have all been aligned with their spiritual nature first.
• Helen has joined together skilful energy masters and healers to guide people and organisations to provide a well rounded complete and holistic service that will powerfully contribute towards supporting the world to raise its consciousness.
• Helen works with children, coaches, leaders, top executives and entrepreneurs to be their highest and most authentic selves and have a life of ease and grace. 
• We can create a utopia or dystopia of a world, but if we want to consciously choose the former there is zero doubt that we need to rise and become much more than the limited humans we have been so far. There will be resistance along the road of uncomfortable or unfamiliar transformation, but it is up to us all to choose how fast or slow, uncomfortable or easy we wish to make it for ourselves or others.
• We must allow our hearts and souls to lead us, beginning with the heart if we are, as yet, unfamiliar with our soul. If you are meeting people on a personal level, remember that we are interconnected and lead with your heart and not your human self that can automatically take charge in social situations. 
• We need to return to the innocence of who we are and proceed with the joy and curiosity of a child, enjoying our discovery of what we are here to achieve and how we can achieve it. 

BEST MOMENTS

‘What we really need is a leap in consciousness, which we can call intuition, or whatever we like, when the solution comes to us and we don’t know why and we don’t know how. In addition, he (Einstein) reminded us that he did not arrive at his understanding of the fundamental laws of the universe through his rational mind.’

‘One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light but by making the darkness conscious. In other words, we need to become aware of what our fear and ego based conditioned human mind is spewing out and causing us to feel disgruntled, constantly getting us to complain out loud or to ourselves.’ 

‘It helps them to bring success and abundance to all areas of their lives without stress, anxiety and aggression, the need to strive and compete, or to fit into what is expected or demanded. It is time to drop our mental constructs and embody higher codes of consciousness.’

‘You can choose to remain as you are, or be somewhere in between, or truly transform and rise to really completely go beyond the lack and limitation of the human mind and ego.’

‘The idea too is to love and embrace our minds and egos at the same time and have them collaborate with their higher self.’

Host Helen Lee continues to interview Andrew Khor, an Energy Master and Master Healer from Malaysia. He worked in advertising for a total of 25 years, 16 of which were with Ogilvy, before he totally left the corporate world to immerse himself in the field of energy and healing.  

Andrew is a Golden Amrit Mentor, facilitates workshops in Spontaneous Kundalini Rising, DNA Activation and Ascension, Inner Peace Reiki and Male Female Balancing. He is the creator of several different powerful and highly effective modalities, some of which Host Helen Lee has personally experienced and also arranged for her family, clients and others to experience.

Andrew and Helen discuss transformative golden energy and its miraculous effect on ourselves and our planet. Both of them have had their own golden light experiences which have led them to create their own unique modality or methodology that help the growing number of people worldwide, who are awakening to be comfortable with and successfully integrate the great transformation occurring within them. This unprecedented alchemy occurring within humans on Earth will accelerate in the next 10 years, impacting everyone of all ages and backgrounds so that human consciousness will be massively raised. 

Helen has chosen to represent extraordinary healers and energy masters such as Andrew and his team, to add to her own team of coaches she personally trains to deliver her own coaching methodology, so that she can offer the world a more complete, powerful and holistic means of supporting everyone of all ages and backgrounds to truly transform and thrive in these unprecedented times.

You can write to her at [email protected] if you wish to have trial sessions of either Golden Amrit or any other modalities that Andrew has created, and she will arrange for you (please note that Andrew is only available in one or two months from now). She will also be organising Masterclasses in the near future with Andrew and other select podcast guests for listeners, that will help everyone transform and thrive. Stay tuned!

To do well or even flourish in our work and professional or business lives, we need to get our foundations right and strong, especially in these times. Hence, Helen is bringing what is personal, innovative, energetic and spiritual to the current chaotic world we live in, to provide practical and holistic tools and strategies to prepare everyone at all levels in all fields to greatly transform and thrive.  And to encourage people and organisations to dare to venture beyond old ways that can no longer serve you well in these times!

She urges ALL to listen to ALL episodes, including this one.  ENJOY!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Andrew has been creating different derivations of the Reiki methodology through receiving new symbols from Dr Usui, the originator of Reiki himself who has passed on. He is, however, delivering the Golden Amrit energy to clients by using traditional Reiki symbols which he transmits in a totally new and advanced way from his Inner Being.
• As we get increasingly aligned and raise our vibration, we would draw to us more and more people who are also increasingly aligned and of a higher level of consciousness, committed to focus on the process of transforming and thriving. And Helen together with her team of coaches and healers/energy masters such as Andrew offer powerful means of doing so.
• Upon awakening, people become less egocentric, less aggressive. The change is spontaneous and achieved, with guidance, in a natural progression.  We will also become far more creative and will come up with innovative and practical ideas of how we can thrive in our personal and work lives.  
• With the modalities and methodologies that Helen and Andrew offer, various challenges at all levels - physical, emotional, mental, energetic and spiritual - can be reduced in intensity or even resolved, with the client's full collaboration. It is a simple, natural and spontaneous process of returning to our original states.
• Organisations must also become open to the transformation and with that, will come a new way of business that will be more in sync with the natural world, each other, and our place in it. Helen has successfully used her innovative coaching methodology (coupled with traditional coaching of the highest international standards) not only with individuals worldwide, but also with many top multinationals for more than 10 years and intends to bring the updated and upgraded version of it to the global corporate world to help support leaders, teams and organisations to be their best selves and have what it takes to up level themselves tremendously to excel in these times rapid change and great challenges. 

BEST MOMENTS

‘We need new information and technologies to help everyone move towards wholeness and being our Greater Selves and the goal has to be to support both individuals and organisations worldwide. – Helen

‘It's like a yin and a yang. The yin, the nurturing, the caring and the giving and in Asia we are raised in that direction. Whereas the yang is being firm, authoritative, or standing for your rights, standing for your boundaries.’ – Andrew (Note that Helen's company logo is a contemporary version of the yin yang symbol to represent supporting people to move towards greater balance which, in turn, brings greater power and success at all levels, both material and intangible.)

‘I took up Kundalini Awakening in 1995 and it was a period of time that I learnt about meditation and chakras. I learned so many things and I had this rising energy within me. When the kundalini rises within you and you are prepared for it and you have good teachers, there is spontaneous inner transformation.’ – Andrew

‘It’s a very sobering process. We all go through it and therefore I find that change begins with me. I want my world to be different, I’ve got to start changing myself first.’ – Andrew

‘This can help other people too.There are millions of people who suffer from anxiety or depression. At this time, worrying about the economy of the world, covid still being around..’ – Helen 

‘I'm initially training more people because the idea is to create more people with this ability to go out there and help people.’ - Andrew

Meanwhile, enjoy this episode and look out for Part 2 next Monday!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• One of the most used words in the therapeutic energy world is “alchemy”. Alchemy means a transformation from one particular phase of state of being or experience to another, in this context.
• The golden light has the capacity to create an energetic state with a raised level of consciousness that turns us into visionaries, teachers, people who lead others from one state of being or phase of experience to another. 
• When you transform people from lead to gold, so to speak, they will become less dependent on a ruling authority to guide them, as their own level of awareness or consciousness and sovereignty is vastly increased.
• Andrew received a vision of theTree of Life, as a sacred symbol of planetary consciousness and oneness representing the Earth as one unified organism with 7 billion leaves for all of the humans on our planet. We are moving towards this vision, a unity consciousness.
• Andrew has recently become detached from social activity and feels that the golden energy requires a period of pause, reflection and observation.
• Andrew has found that the golden energy has allowed him to help people even more than he has been able to ever before. He is still processing all the information he has gained from these transformative experiences.
• Helen is delighted to now have Andrew as a friend and part of her global team to share insights and wisdom with, having had her own golden light experience as far back as 2000 and few to discuss this with, other than her beloved clients.

BEST MOMENTS

‘The final endgame stage of alchemy would be achieving some kind of golden energy or aura. If you read history you’ll find there are a lot of people who are talking about golden energy, golden circles, golden globes or golden triangles.’ - Andrew

‘Gold is such an amazing transformative energy for people and that’s what we are doing right now.’ – Andrew

‘The words “lead to gold” is an ancient metaphor because in those days, the ancient Taoist were people who could take a piece of lead metal and through transformative methods convert that lead into gold.’ – Andrew

‘We have the ability to reconnect to everyone who comes to us and have an impact on that person.’ – Andrew

‘Essentially we are moving from the duality we have been experiencing, moving towards Ascension, moving towards unity consciousness.’ – Helen 

‘What happened was that after the session was over, for the next 5 hours she could feel this sweet honey taste flowing from her mouth to the rest of her body.’ - Andrew
