✍️ The Gentle Voice for Ourselves - So many of us know how to speak kindly to strangers, how to comfort others who are hurting, how to use gentle words when someone else makes a mistake.

Yet when it comes to ourselves—when we remember our own failures, our own regrets, our own moments we wish we could undo—the voice we use is harsh, unforgiving.

This inner harshness is a form of violence we inflict on ourselves daily. And if we cannot walk peacefully within our own hearts, how can we truly walk peacefully in the world?

To practice a genuine walk for peace, we must transform how we speak to ourselves.

When judgment rises in us, perhaps instead of “I am terrible,” we could gently say: “I did the best I could with what I knew then, and now I’ve gained a new lesson.”

When shame takes hold, perhaps we could imagine holding the hand of a small child who just tripped. Would we scold them harshly, or help them up with tenderness? Maybe we could use that same gentle voice to speak to our own souls.

Instead of drowning in regret, perhaps we could use kind words to make a loving promise for this present moment. Not demanding perfection from ourselves, but committing to try again, to keep learning.

Here is a truth we must sit with: when we are unable to forgive ourselves, we are also unable to truly forgive anyone else. Our harshness toward ourselves leaks into how we see and treat others.

But when we learn to speak to our own hearts with the softest words, when we let old mistakes become nourishment instead of poison, something beautiful happens. Mindfulness blooms. Compassion expands. Peace takes root—first within us, then flowing naturally outward to everyone we meet.

The gentlest voice, the kindest words, the most patient understanding—these should not be reserved only for others. They belong to us too.

May we all learn to speak to ourselves the way we would speak to someone we deeply love who is struggling.

May you and all beings be well, happy, and at peace.

I’m a bit late with New Year’s greetings even tho I woke early - no intentionally seeing the new year for me, however i did get woken numerous times by text messages and fireworks being let off in my street?!. This year I need more peace and less anxiety so it wasn’t off to a good start 😆
Prescription: Lots of meditative music & breathwork in the early hours of the morning when sleep is evasive.

Om Shanti ! 🕉️🙏🏼

While they can be seen as a luxury, massages are often part of healthcare – here’s how they affect physical and mental health

I’m sharing this because it’s such a beautiful detailed “how to” description of at-home support of your lymphatic system. And now I need a beautiful soft body brush to try this myself.

In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, today we are sharing the story of Kathy Bates, who has faced breast cancer, lymphedema, and ovarian cancer.

Over the years Kathy has gone from being very private about her health issues (her agent told her not to tell anyone when she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2003 because of the stigma attached to it) to serving as a national advocate in support of lymphedema awareness and funding for research.

Because both Kathy’s mother and niece had breast cancer, and her aunt died from the disease, when her own Stage 2 breast cancer diagnosis was made she knew she was not going to fool around with it. Kathy once famously said, “breast cancer runs like a river through my family”—and she didn’t assume she would be okay. Her test to see if she had a genetic predisposition to cancer was negative, yet there still appeared to be a higher familial risk of breast cancer. So she opted for a double mastectomy to reduce the risk of a cancer recurrence in the future.

As a result of her mastectomies, Kathy suffers from lymphedema—a condition that can occur when lymph nodes are removed or damaged in surgery, resulting in a collection of fluid in the arms. She has been very outspoken about lymphedema, becoming a national spokesperson for the Lymphatic Education & Research Network, and also meeting with members of Congress about the need for additional lymphatic research.

Kathy has also been outspoken about “going flat” after her surgery. If she doesn’t have to wear her breast prostheses for an acting role, she doesn’t!

A final quote from Kathy sums up her attitude gained from her cancer journey: “I’m just grateful to have been born at a time when the research made it possible for me to survive. I feel so incredibly lucky to be alive.” That statement says it all!
