This hut is the entrance to The Secret Sanctuary shrine, Its represent 念 mean mindfulness. Mindfulness - The Chinese character 念 is composed of two parts, the top 今 meaning "now; this" and bottom 心 signifying "heart; mind."
"Mindfulness is the quality and power of mind that is aware of what's happening — without judgment and without interference. It is like a mirror that simply reflects whatever comes before it. It serves us in the humblest ways, keeping us connected to brushing our teeth or having a cup of tea. It keeps us connected to the people around us, so that we're not simply rushing by them in the busyness of our lives.
We can start the practice of mindfulness meditation with the simple observation and feeling of each breath. Breathing in, we know we're breathing in; breathing out, we know we're breathing out. It's very simple, although not easy. After just a few breaths, we hop on trains of association, getting lost in plans, memories, judgments and fantasies.
This habit of wandering mind is very strong, even though our reveries are often not pleasant and sometimes not even true. As Mark Twain so aptly put it, "Some of the worst things in my life never happened." So we need to train our minds, coming back again and again to the breath, simply beginning again.
Slowly, though, our minds steady and we begin to experience some space of inner calm and peace. This environment of inner stillness makes possible a deeper investigation of our thoughts and emotions. What is a thought— that strange, ephemeral phenomenon that can so dominate our lives? When we look directly at a thought, we see that it is little more than nothing. Yet when it is unnoticed, it wields tremendous power.
Notice the difference between being lost in a thought and being mindful that we're thinking. Becoming aware of the thought is like waking up from a dream or coming out of a movie theater after being absorbed in the story. Through mindfulness, we gradually awaken from the movies of our minds."

True medicine comes from the earth, not a lab.
The concept of natural self-healing potential recognizes the body's innate ability to restore and maintain balance. The human body possesses intricate mechanisms to repair and regenerate tissues, fight off infections, and adapt to various stressors. Nurturing this potential involves supporting the body through practices such as adequate nutrition, regular exercise, quality sleep, and stress management. By adopting a holistic lifestyle that aligns with the body's natural rhythms, individuals can empower their innate self-healing abilities and promote long-term well-being.

l enjoyed the infrared spa at the Secret Sanctuary. My CT brain scan finally showed no tumor on 1/19/2018. This was after I purchased herbs from Cyril to treat the tumor. The herbal treatment worked!

No more afraid of cold water
Thanks you so much Cyril Lim for giving me the second chance of life and good health. Before I came to visit you I can't even walk for more than 40 ft or so without gasping for air and it was in supermarket. Am afraid to walk alone, everytime I go out my daughter in law Jennifer would take care of me holding my arm, am always looking for place to sit down.
After visiting you at The Secret Sanctuary and did a session of energy therapy Access consciousness bars run on me, the next day I am able n enjoy hiking for more than 4.5 hours of up hill in Santubong mountain. I am surprised when I wrote the time out on the forestry guard house.
I am able to enjoy riding 5 hours return on your Harley Davidson to Telok malano, Sematan.
I am 80 years old and being suffering since 2000. I had pulmonary hypertension when ever any physical activity, my lung would shut down and gasping gasping for air. My doctor told me I don have enough blood supply to my heart n my heart constricted, my heart not getting enough oxygen, blood flow and heart weaken. My blood pressure is normal now ever since the Energy therapy. FOUR MONTHS already passes, I am getting stronger each day and I lost 7kg of tummy fat so far because of your therapeutic cuisine.
