Grace Moy O’Brien
Chinese Medicine Doctor, Naturopath, Counsellor, Metaphysical Healer

How does one make the switch from economist to metaphysical healer? Grace Moy O’Brien’s transition goes beyond a career change – it is instead a journey into self awareness and expanding consciousness.

Born into a typical and conventional Malaysian Chinese family in Penang, Grace went to Melbourne to pursue a Bachelor of Economics and a post graduate degree in Hospitality and Tourism. Upon graduation she started work as an economist and researcher.

But Grace’s personal journey is anything but conventional. From the age of four, Grace started having what she now knows as “Out of Body Experiences” (OBE), which is now a much researched phenomena. Grace kept her OBEs a secret for most of her adult years for fear of being ridiculed. However, her curiosity took her on a quest to learn more about OBEs, eventually leading her into the arena of neuroscience, and quantum physics.

Her work with neuroscientist Dr. Jeffrey L. Fannin, Ph.D, Dr. Joe Dispenza, quantum physicists Prof. Konstantin Korotkov and Dr. Dimitry Orlov (BioPhotonics/ ElectroPhotonics), has deepened her understanding of metaphysics and passion in exploring consciousness.

Grace says the turning point in her life came about following her mum’s death in a car accident in Malaysia. “This may sound crazy, but after mum died, I had a few encounters with her while I was having my out of body experiences. It gave me a lot of comfort and helped me come to terms with her death.”

“A life of freedom and knowing. Freedom from the shackles of matter, and knowing, which comes from experiencing the divine in you.”

She adds, “Think about this. When you die, you leave everything behind. The only thing you take with you is your spirit. Where you go after you take your last breath is dependent upon your state of consciousness. Is it then not logical to take care of and to know your true essence, which is your consciousness?”.

Her mum’s death and her OBEs propelled her to change her life, including, a career transformation. She went back to university, this time to study the Health Sciences, and now practices as an Acupuncturist, Naturopath, Counsellor, and Metaphysical Healer in Melbourne. In line with her passion to help others understand that they are more than just their physical bodies, Grace also runs workshops using neuroscience to demystify meditation and the exploration of consciousness.

“It is not enough to just believe, it is our responsibility to ourselves to conduct our own due diligence and experience our true essence, and thus graduate into knowing,” says Grace.

如何从经济学家成为超自然学的治疗者？Grace Moy O’brien的人生转换不仅仅是一次职业的改变 – 而是一次进入自我觉醒和扩展意识的旅程。

Grace出生于马来西亚槟城一个典型的传统华人家庭，她前往墨尔本攻读经济学学士学位，并获得酒店与旅游业的研究生学位。毕业后，她开始从事经济学和研究员的工作。

但属于她的个人历练不同寻常。从4岁开始，她开始拥有现在所了解的“灵魂出窍” (out-of-body experience – OBE) 的经历，其实这是现今一种被广泛研究的现象。在她成年后，大部分时间里都对自己的这项体验绝口不提，以免被嘲笑。然而，好奇心驱使她去挖掘更多关于OBE的知识，最终引导她进入神经科学和量子物理学的领域。

她与神经学家Dr. Jeffrey L. Fannin博士和 Dr. Joe Dispenza, 量子物理学家Prof. Konstantin Korotkov 与 Dr. Dimitry Orlov (生物光子学/电光子学)的合作，深化了她对超自然学的理解和探索热情。

而她生命中的转折点是她母亲在马来西亚因为一场车祸中丧生之后。“虽然听起来可能有点不可思议，但在妈妈去世后，通过灵魂出窍，我和她有过几次接触，这也给了我很多慰藉，让我接受了她的
死亡。”

她补充说，思考一下，当面临死亡的时候，一切都已经抛诸脑后，我们唯一能带走的就是灵魂。最后一次呼吸后去哪里取决于人的意识形态。因此关注和了解自己的真正本质，也就是意识，是合乎逻辑的。

母亲的离世和灵魂出窍的经历促使她改变了生活轨迹，包括职业转变。她再次回到大学，这次是去研读健康科学，目前身在墨尔本作为针灸、自然疗法、辅导和超自然学治疗师。用她的热情帮助别人理解，他们存在的不仅是肉身，她还通过神经科学的研讨会以揭开冥想和意识的神秘面纱。

那么，Grace对美好生活的定义是什么呢?

“自由而领会的生活。从物质的桎梏中自由解脱，领会从你内在与身上感受的非凡体验。”

Bill Bennett
Australian Film Director, Producer & Screenwriter

Bill Bennett’s life changed early one morning on a back street in New Orleans. He was driving, and as he approached an intersection he heard a voice which warned him to slow down. Fortunately he did slow down, because suddenly a huge truck ran a red light, hurtled through the intersection and missed him by inches. If not for that voice, he would have been killed.

The incident haunted him for years. He wanted to know three things: What was that voice? Where did it come from? Why was my life saved? Those three questions would finally compelled him to make a movie about his search for the meaning behind that voice.

For years he travelled around the world interviewing leading experts on intuition, covering the fields of science, religion and spiritualty. He spoke to neuroscientists and mystics, psychiatrists and saints and psychics – and the resulting film is now released in Australia and the US.

Called PGS – Intuition is your Personal Guidance System, the film discusses what intuition is, how it works, and how we can tap into it to make better choices in life.

For Bill, making the film changed his life, he says. He started out a skeptic, but by the end he was convinced that intuition is real, it works, and it’s a legitimate bodily system that acts to keep us safe from harm, and seeks to guide us on our life’s journey.

Bill now lives his life totally intuitively. He says he no longer makes decisions, he feels them. “When you make decisions, you use your intellect, your rational mind, and at times your ego,” says Bill.

“When you use your intuition and feel decisions – for instance when you trust your gut – you disengage from rational thought and you go with what feels right, not necessarily what your logic or intellect would say is the right thing to do.”

According to Bill, when you make decisions based on your intellect, you’re always pulling from what’s known, which is limiting. When you use your intuition, you’re accessing what’s not known, which is expansive. But it’s also scary, says Bill, which is why so many people don’t use their intuition, because of fear.

Bill’s film details five steps you can take to tap into your intuition – STOP, LISTEN, ASK, TRUST, FOLLOW.

“Trust is the biggie,” he says. “If you begin to trust your intuition on small things, when the big decisions come along, you can take advantage of your intuition.”

Bill Bennett 的生活因为一个清晨的事故发生了重大变化。当时，他正开车行驶在新奥尔良一条偏僻的后街上，而在接近十字路口时，突然听到一个声音警告他要减速。幸运的是，他放慢了速度，电光石火间，一辆大卡车忽然闯了红灯，冲过十字路口，与他惊险的擦身而过。要不是那个声音，他的生命不复存在。

而事情发生后却多年来困扰着他。他想知道：那是什么声音？它是从哪里来的？为何我得救了？因为这三个疑问，最终促使他制作一部关于寻找那个声音背后意义的电影。

多年来，他周游列国，不间断的采访了涉及科学、宗教和精神领域有关直觉课题的顶尖专家。他甚至与神经科学家、神秘主义者、精神病学家，圣徒和心理学家进行了研讨对话 – 而由此诞生的电影目前在澳大利亚和美国上映。

这部被称为PGS (Personal Guidance System) – 直觉是你的个人指导系统的电影内容讨论了什么是直觉，它是如何运作的，以及我们如何利用它来在生活中做出更好的抉择。

对Bill来说，拍这部电影改变了他的生活轨迹。一开始保持怀疑论者心态，但最后他确信直觉是真实的，有效的，是一项合理的身体系统，保护我们不受伤害，并试图指导我们的人生旅程。

他现在过着完全凭直觉过生活，并且不运用理性做决定，他感觉到了。

“当你做决定时，会使用智慧、理性的头脑，有时还会动用你的自我。但是，当随着直觉和感觉而抉择，并且相信自己的直觉的时候—你将脱离理性的思考，选择感觉正确的东西，而不一定是逻辑或智力认为是正确的事情。”

依据Bill的说法，当运用智力做出决定时，人总是在回避已知事物，造成受限。可是依靠直觉时，你是在探索未知的状况，拥有无限扩展空间。“可是，这也很让人恐惧，这就是为何很多人因为害怕而不使用他们的直觉。”

Bill的这部电影详细描述了可以采取的5个步骤来挖掘你的直觉—停止、倾听、询问、信任、跟随。

Cas Bennetto

Chief Executive Officer of Kimberley Foundation Australia

By Billie Ooi-Ng Lean Gaik

CEO of Kimberley Foundation Australia, Cas Bennetto holds her audience captive as she tells the story of the Kimberley rock art in Western Australia. “The Kimberley rock art is one of the world’s largest, most varied and visually spectacular body of figurative rock art, virtually unknown and unexplored.”

Her mesmerising English-accented voice is spellbinding as she weaves romantic tales of early human migration. “We’re the only foundation set up to look after, research, preserve and promote the Kimberley rock art. Carrying national and international significance, the story behind this rock art is the story of Australia’s earliest settlement 50,000 to 60,000 years ago. There are images of animals, lifestyle, climate condition, food and their beliefs. It is very important for Australians to adopt, not a Eurocentric view, but our very own deep understanding of this country.”

“The Kimberley rock art is one of the world’s largest, most varied and visually spectacular body of figurative rock art, virtually unknown and unexplored.”

Born in Tasmania, with English and Australian parentage, Cas graduated from the University of Melbourne and has held executive positions at Sydney’s Museum of Contemporary Art, the Australian British Chamber of Commerce and the Charles Darwin University before joining KFA as CEO. Cas holds a Master of Arts in Organisational Communication and was recently appointed a Trustee to the Board of Trust for Nature.

“Philanthropy is well understood in Melbourne.  Now the emphasis is on fundraising, marketing, social media awareness and raising the profile of the Kimberley rock art region which spans an area bigger than Germany.”

“We want all Australians to feel joy, respect and awe that the rock art is here and therefore it needs to be cherished”

Following the remarkable achievement in the establishment of the Chair in Rock Art at the University of Western Australia, KFA recently announced a new Chair in Archaeological Science at the University of Melbourne. “Both of these are Chairs in the perpetuity of rock art.  We have introduced rock art to Australia’s public consciousness, and now we face a huge task ahead of us in terms of promoting it.”

Australia’s earliest settlement story is the story of global human migration. Rock art can convey the story of Australia. “Indigenous Australians crafted the rock art and they are the primary custodians.  At KFA we want to instil deep interest and pride in this heritage. We want all Australians to feel joy, respect and awe that the rock art is here and therefore it needs to be cherished.”

澳大利亚金伯利基金会 (Kimberley Foundation Australia-KFA) 首席执行员 Cas Bennetto 在叙述澳大利亚西部金伯利岩石绘画艺术的故事时，投入的神态轻易打动听众。“金伯利岩石艺术是世界上最大、最多样、视觉上最壮观的具象岩石艺术，几乎是未知与未被真正
探索。”

她以令人着迷的浓厚英式口音诉说所编织的早期人类迁徙的美丽故事。“我们是唯一关注、研究、保存和推广金伯利岩石艺术的基金会。这个岩石艺术的背后，也承载着国家和国际的意义，是澳大利亚从最早5万至6万年前定居的故事。有动物、生活方式、气候条件、食物和信仰的元素画面。对澳大利亚人来说，这非常重要，我们要接纳的并非欧洲中心的观点，而是对这个国家的深刻理解。”

“金伯利岩石艺术是世界上最大、最多样、视觉上最壮观的具象岩石艺术，几乎是未知与未被真正探索。”

出生在塔斯马尼亚，拥有英国和澳大利亚血统，而Cas Bennetto毕业于墨尔本大学后，在任职KFA的首席执行员前，曾在悉尼当代艺术博物馆、澳大利亚英国商会和Charles Darwin大学担任行政职务。她拥有交流沟通组织的文科硕士学位，并于最近成为大自然信托委员会的受托人。

“在墨尔本推行慈善事业能够获得良好的响应。现在的重点是筹集资金、营销、广宣社交媒体意识，以及提高金伯利岩石艺术区域的知名度，这个区域跨度面积比德国还大。”

“我们希望所有的澳大利亚人都能对此保持欣喜、尊重和敬畏之心，加倍珍惜岩石艺术的存在。”

在西澳大学设立的岩石艺术学术交流中取得显著的成就之后，KFA最近在墨尔本大学宣布了一项考古科学的新教案。这两个交流课题都是与永恒的岩石艺术相关。“我们已经将岩石艺术引入到澳大利亚的公众意识中，现在面临着一项巨大任务，就是推动它的发展。”

澳大利亚最早的定居点源自全球人类迁徙过程，并透过岩石艺术传递澳大利亚的故事。“澳大利亚土著精心制作了岩石艺术，他们是最原始的托管人。通过KFA，我们想要培养大家对这一文化传统的浓厚兴趣和自豪感。我们希望所有的澳大利亚人都能对此保持欣喜、尊重和敬畏之心，加倍珍惜岩石艺术的存在。”
