Reiki ~
Reiki as defined by the Oxford English dictionary is:

“A healing technique based on the principle that the therapist can channel energy into the patient by means of touch, to activate the natural healing processes of the patient’s body and restore physical and emotional well-being”. It is however, also widely accepted that Reiki healing can be given and received equally effectively hands-off or via distant healing. The Japanese word ‘Reiki’ literally translates as universal life force energy. This system of healing was developed by Mikao Usui the early 20th century. It is a non-invasive complementary therapy that has been taught and used in the UK since the late 1900s, but Eastern medicine has for thousands of years worked with this energy, recognising its flow through all living things. Reiki supports orthodox medicine or can be used alone but is not a replacement for traditional medication or treatments. It is not based on any belief, faith or suggestion, yet, scientific research using quantum physics is starting to help us to understand how Reiki healing may work to benefit the individual. It has been suggested that in years to come it may be known as energy medicine based on scientifically measurable energy emitted from the practitioner’s hands. What I love about Reiki is that there is no need for a lot of talking. It works by tuning in to a person's energy field energy and will go where it needs to go.

From a small Vietnamese household to the global literary stage, Ocean Vuong carries more than just words - he carries a language, a lineage, and a way of seeing the world.

In this intimate conversation, he shares how Buddhism shapes his writing, why dialect is a form of power, and how being Vietnamese isn’t just part of his identity - it’s his creative superpower.

Through poetry, pain, and purpose, Ocean reminds us that storytelling isn’t about perfection - it’s about presence. And sometimes, staying on the shore is the bravest way to let your art live.

A fact that speaks volumes: Oprah Winfrey has just selected The Emperor of Gladness as her 114th Book Club pick, calling it “truly one of the best books I have read in my entire life.” If you needed another reason to dive in, this is it.

Step into his world of language, loss, and luminous insight in the full article below.👇🏻

May your weekend be filled with good thoughts, kind people, joyful moments and unexpected blessings! ❤️🙏

I want to tell all women that getting older
is actually about becoming fully embodied.

It’s not about preserving who you were. It
is about owning the ocean of who you ARE.

It’s not about shrinking.

It’s about deepening into the ancient wisdom
of your cells.

Magnetism has never been about age.

It’s been about PRESENCE all along, full and vibrant and whole.

If you find it difficult to follow through with things that are important to you, maybe it’s because when you were younger, your caretakers didn’t follow through on things that were important to you.

Your younger self might not have been in any position to understand your parents’ unhealed past wounds or their unmet needs, but your younger self absolutely felt the disappointment and hurt when they didn’t take the time to love you with their healed parts and meet your needs.

Some people say, “Get over your past.” But that’s where the foundation of our sense of self was built.

If your needs weren’t considered important back then, it makes sense to me that you’d continue dismissing them yourself because you learned what neglect was like, not how to value yourself enough to realize that you’re actually worth being nurtured and actually worth the investment of your own love and attention.

One way to practice valuing yourself, is by giving yourself little gifts of kindness throughout the day—little efforts to care for yourself instead of neglecting yourself, even when it’s hard.

You will start to notice that someone was actually there for you. And that someone will have been you.

When an abuser demands access to your phone, your passwords, or your private messages, it’s not ‘love’ or ‘concern - it’s control. Digital abuse is a powerful tool in domestic abuse, used to track, manipulate, and isolate victims.

📱 “If you have nothing to hide, why not share your passwords?”
💬 “Let me see your messages, I just want to make sure you’re being honest.”
📍 “Turn on your location so I know you’re safe.”

These aren’t signs of trust - they’re red flags.
