The Magic of Feeling Good!
I woke up this morning, feeling very refreshed and delighted, and I just wonder what’s the magic of feeling good.
For me, I would admit that I am a bit workaholic type and I like getting my job done well in all aspects. So, accomplishment would be a neccessary element in my list of feeling good items. However, only accomplishment is not enough, there should be other things which are also important for contributing to our “feeling good”.
What would these items be?
To answer the question, I have come up with a “feeling good” list:
- having a good sleep
- doing exercise and taking a hot bath afterwards
- having some quiet moments in the outdoor environment, like beaches and seaside
- going home and staying with my parents peacefully
- chatting with friends and having some chill-out drinks
- sharing dreams and plans with friends
- discussing new projects and ideas with partners
- completing all my tasks in time and in the most pofessional manners
- meeting new people with similar wave lenghts, especially people far away from my own culture
- building up my own brand and reputation
- staying in good mood and keeping my smiles even under tremendous pressure
- being nice to others and being less critical
- ……
Of course the list is in no way exhausive. And every one of us would have different items filed under our feeling good lists. However, there are basic elements which are common for us all, and these basic elements are the magic of feeling good:
- physical wellness
- emotionally balanced and stable
- love and support
- social networking
- feeling of success
- accomplishment
- self esteem
- self actualisation
When we get frustrated in our daily life, it is always useful to refer back to our own “feeling good lists” and try to figure out / identify what we have neglected or overlooked or not satisfied. There is in fact no magic of feeling good, the magic is in fact realisation and action.

Stumble it!Our Radiant Energy
In this beginning of a week, I would like to read all of us a wisdom card.
Let’s see how our inner consciousness appeals to us.
Sacred Mountain
Within a vast and ancient land filled with myths of the Dreamtime and surrounded by sandy desert exists a glowing monolith of rock known as “Uluru”.
This card relates to strength of character, which is derived from a compassionate and loving heart. In reflects the inner strength and compassion that you radiate out to all those around you.
Like Uluru, your energy is magnetic and magical. You are a mountain of strength and hope to many people. Your love and wisdom are strong, grounded and down to earth.
Because of this, you will find that many people will be drawn to you, seeking your advice.
Yet, know that the real attraction occurs on an energetic level; little needs to be said, for your energy is such that it has a calming effect on all those who are touched by it. Your honesty, courage and inner beauty is an inspiration to many people. You are indeed a sacred mountain - able to weather the changing seasons of life while always remaining true to your inner nature and wisdom.
This wisdom card appeals to us to reveal our “honesty, courage and inner beauty” within ourselves, and with these energies we are able to inspire all people around us.
Acknowledge the radiating property in ourselves and make the good use of it. Channel out our energies of love and courage, and to start a new week with blessing for ourselves and all people around us. We will be able to attract all beautiful things and people towards us.

If you find the tourists’ favourites like Phuket, Cebu, Langkwai and Sabah are too popular and crowded, and you are thinking of going to some place else, I would recommend the Hau Hin Evason to you.
Hau Hin, just 30 mins flight (small air plane) from Bangkok, is a famous resort town in the South East Asia. If you take a bus, the travelling time would be around 3 hours. Without the connections of international nor domestic flight, it is definitely not as crowded as other famous resort towns in the South East Asia. And yet, it could be reached very conveniently from Bangkok. There are buses and air planes going into Hau Hin direct from the Bangkok International Airport daily.
The Evason Group and the Six Senses Spa run many high quality resorts and spa centres in Phuket, Hau Hin, Maldives, etc. And the Hau Hin Evason is one of those finest resorts under this renouned Brand.
Adopting the Evason Group’s six senses philosophy of offering its guests the finest and most refreshing experiences, the Hau Hin Evason has put in place every detail in the resort for the comfortness for the guests. For six senses mean sight, sound, touch, smell, taste and spirit, the resort as well as the staff take great care of the six senses of their guests, to bring in the ambience of comfort and harmony. The design in the resort is laidback and natural, every corner in the resort is designed in simple beauty with lots of plants and ponds with water lilies. The staff members in the resort are all well trained and friendly and they provide the most satisfying services to their guests. The resort is filled with soothing music and scent of essence oils which bring calm to the mind.
The large swimming pool of the resort is just located next to the lovely beach. And the swimming pool is famous for its “infinitive” design. The pool is “seamless” and it seems that it is connected to the ocean and the sky direct. Laying on the sun bench under the shelter, reading your favourite book, listening to music, going for swimming and pouring yourself a glass of wine, nothing could be more relaxing and comfortable.
The Pool Villas in the Hau Hin Evason are most impressive. With open bath tub embedded in the water lilies pond and private swimming pool, you could enjoy the outdoor fresh air in your own private area (um…. I especially enjoy the swim and bath under the moonlight, haha!). Inside your own entity, you would give your body and mind a total rest. Although the Villas provide you with full privacy and remoteness, there are designated “buddy” in the resort to help you with everything you need. Just one press on the line, your buddy would answer the call and arragne everything for you.
The Six Senses Spa in the resort is very famous and has received many awards over the years. Other than spa treaments, I would also recommend you to take the yoga classes in the Spa Centre to work out on our bodies and minds.
The whole resort imprints a sense of quiet, comfort, wellness and refreshing to its guests. One would focus within oneself inside the resort and work on the wellness of one’s body and mind. After taking a retreat in the resort, one would surely be refreshed.
Lastly, don’t forget to take the air plane from the Bangkok Airport to the Hau Hin direct. The flight time is only about 30 mins, and you would then be received by Evason’s representative at the Hau Hin direct. You could be totally carefree for your whole trip and seems that you are flying to the Hau Hin direct (only need to change a plane at the Bangkok Airport). The cost of the air plane is around US$150 for round trips, really a good choice.

When thinking of a leisure, refreshing and affordable vacation, the South East Asia would always be a good choice for all.
Phuket, located at the Southern West tip of the Thailand, is famous for its natural environment: beautiful beaches, crystal blue water, lovely sunshine and good diving sites. Among most of the South East Asia vacation attractions, their hotels and customer services always receive high ratings from international travel authorities. For someone who love good food, entertainment and shopping, the delicious Thai cuisines, the night lives and bars and the shops and markets in Phuket would never fail your expectations. While for those who would like to have an escape from your busy lives, to have some quiet and refreshing moments and to recharge your body and mind, you may wish to choose some boutique hotels which are quiet and hip to stay and to take some treatments in the high quality spa centres, such that your mind could be relaxed with the well designed environment and quality services of the hotel and your body could be fully taken care of by the spa centre.
There are some boutique hotels newly opened in Phuket with high quality spa centres. If you wish to have a total cut off from the external world, you may choose to stay in these hotels for your whole vacation.
The Sarojin is a new boutique hotel winning lots of international awards since it’s opening in the end of 2006.
The Sarojin is charmingly ensconced in a garden setting with direct private access onto a secluded 11km white beach beside the Andaman Sea, riven by a saltwater estuary and just one hour north of Phuket International Airport, in Khao Lak in the Phang Nga province of Thailand. The Sarojin is surrounded inland by the spectacular primary forests of the adventurous Khao Lak and Khao Sok National Parks. The Similan Islands Marine National Park, one of the top ten world dive sites, is less than an hour away by boat. Phang Nga Bay, renowned for its sheer limestone rock formations and hidden caves and lagoons is 40 minutes away.
Relaxation, freedom, inspiration. …. “staying as a guest at a friend’s private estate”. - philosophy of Sarojin
The design of the hotel is hip and stylish, with basic and natural decorations which bring peace to our minds. The lovely swimming pool with thai style leisure booths resting on the water is a signature design of the hotel.
The residences are with private gardens and sundecks, with plunge pools and spa pools that blend into the natural habitat. Privacy is the concern of the hotel and each guest residence is privately entered by crossing a stream via the grounds and through a private garden terrace.
The spa, Pathways, receives the Conde Nest Traveler US Hot List Spa2006 award. Taking some body treatments in the natural environment, or practicing a yoga session with the yoga masters in the spa center, would definitely bring your vacation a journey to your wellbeing.
Here is one more hot information for you: there is a summer package offered by Sarojin for these few months. From 1 May 2007 to 31 October 2007, for guests who stay for 2 nights and more at the Sarojin, the hotel would offer the same number of night free of charge to the guests, thus equals to a 50% discount on the room rate. Don’t miss this great promotion and I am already planning my own vacation now!
