Thank you for being such a cherished part of the Healing Rooms and for trusting me with your care. Your support has meant the world to me.
As you may know, I’ve been deepening my journey in healing by studying counselling and psychotherapy. This path has been incredibly fulfilling, and I’ve decided to take time to fully integrate my learning and complete my training.
After much reflection, I’ve chosen not to reopen the clinic for acupuncture, reflexology and Reiki. This wasn’t an easy decision, but it feels right as I embrace this next chapter.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for allowing me to be part of your wellness journey. I’m so grateful for the connections we’ve shared and the healing we’ve witnessed together.
With love, light and endless gratitude,
Siobhán Twomey

Not mine but I love the message.

A Quieter Kind of Hero

How brave you are for slowing down.
For not finishing that to-do list.
How courageous you are for not crossing that finish line,
because your body said “enough.”

How fearless you are for choosing the quiet of your soul over those voices driving you always towards more.

How bold, how rebellious -
you, out there,
honoring your own natural rhythm,
going against the culture’s breakneck speed.

We tend to make heroes of those hungry with ambition, relentlessly doing, producing always more.

We applaud those who refuse to stop or rest.
Who push themselves so hard in the name of achievement,
that they sacrifice their body and soul and heart in the process.

We celebrate those who are ill or aging but never show it,
never slow down,
never reveal a moment of vulnerability.

This drivenness can be heroic, at times.
It can be necessary for our survival or the greater good.

But,
I want to make heroes of those who slow down.

I want to make heroes of those who listen to their bodies,
who do not strive for more than what the soul truly needs.

I want to make heroes of those who do not force or push,
but surrender to each moment as it opens.

I want to applaud those who may not be driven towards success as we know it, but instead are nurturing something deep and subtle and needed.

I want to celebrate those brave enough to cease all doing,
even for a second,
and sit with the ache in their hearts.
A task many find harder than summiting the highest peak.

I want to make heroes of those who honor their limitations.
Who are unable to keep up with the busy-ness of our times,
yet show up to each profound,
necessary moment.

It is truly an act of courage and rebellion to do any such thing,
in a world demanding you resist your own self,
your own rhythm,
your own soul.

And the paradox is,
that often when we cease our incessant doing,
even for a minute,
and listen to that quiet voice within,
we discover what it is we absolutely must do,
and what instead can fall away.

We finally hear the call towards what serves our soul,
and what then will serve the world. Nothing more, nothing less.

A hero is simply someone brave.
So come,
be softly brave.
Be a new,
quieter kind of hero.

Few may applaud,
it’s true,
but your soul certainly will.

The Healing that comes from restorative rest.
Not my words but so resonate.

If you're sick or injured and healing or growing a new life inside you or just worn out, please notice that that thing known as 'doing nothing' is when you're doing the utterly crucial and precious work of growing and healing and restoring. This also goes for everyone who's just worn down, exhausted, dispirited, and who's not that right now? I'm not the Nap Ministry but I'm for the power of rest and the holiness of respite and the you that is your cells and circulatory system and all those inner workings that are so mysterious and necessary and regenerative if we let them be. The psyche too does most of its work out of sight, and the imagination, and so creative work too benefits from rest and respite. As a writer I benefit greatly from leaving the work alone and coming back to it fresh, as one does with a relationship; pause, stoppage, inaction, inattention can all be wildly generative, and if they're not that might be its own kind of fruitful that cannot be measured.

Take refuge in that beautiful stillness in which everything is happening in all the ways that nothing is happening in busyness. Everything happening in the depths, like deep water under a reflective surface, a lake reflecting clouds with schools of fish in the depths. Seeds germinating underground. Sitting still as zazen or just daydreaming or watching clouds is an act of revolt against the shouts that we should be doing something/do more/do more faster that are all around us. If you find that nothing is hard to do, it's exactly because it's this kind of revolt against the production/ consumption juggernaut that is a kind of war against rest, depth, and the earth. Inaction might be another face of peace in our times with stillness the ceasefire in which spring comes again.

One word for kindheartedness or compassion in the Pali language is anukampa, which means being moved in response to others, having a tender mind or an open heart. Developing a deepening kindheartedness or tenderness doesn’t mean that we consign someone else to a fixed role as “the unfortunate one,” as though to say we are perfectly fine and always will be, while they, cast down as they are, have nothing at all they can give to us at this point in time, and never will. There is often a strong mutuality in acts of kindness, so that many hospice aides, literacy tutors, volunteers working to provide meals to ill people with AIDS, and others engaged in helping of all kinds have told me unequivocally that through those actions they invariably get much more than they give.

When we forget the complexity of a life, we also forget to look at what is whole in a person—what is intact and vital and generative. With the force of kindness, we can look at someone else and see those things as well as his or her pain. This helps us look at ourselves and see those same things within, alongside seeing our own pain. Then compassion and kindness connect us to a bigger picture of life where we can see pain but also love, loss but also movement, sorrow but also togetherness.
