We can sometimes tell ourselves it’s too much to feel. It causes us to close our eyes, ears and hearts when we do.

If you follow me you are being called to shine your light. You’re being called to feel. To transmute. To be the change.

What if we allow our feelings to be our guide? Then, we would tell them we need them, they matter and we would listen to our hearts.

I pray today for us to hear the calling of our hearts.
May you be blessed.
💛 Mandy

PS there really isn’t enough sage for this s**t !

Prayers for Peace continue daily. Please join these monks and pray for peace to fill every heart.

It comes with knowing the light is within you, already. You are the Luminous Light of Creation Already !
💛 Mandy

May all beings everywhere be free from hatred, be healthy, be safe, be peaceful and at ease in body and in mind, and may they meet no obstacles in their daily lives.

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

Sometimes we just need a quiet moment to return to ourselves. A breath. A pause. A soft place for the mind and heart to settle. I created this meditation to help you drift into that space of calm where your inner light becomes easier to feel again.

If you need a moment of peace today, check the comments for a quick meditation link on Mandys You Tube

My YouTube channel has guided journeys that support grounding, healing, and connection. Each one is recorded with intention, love, and the energy of presence. I hope they meet you right where you are.

If this meditation brings you even a little ease, feel free to save it or send it to someone who might need a soft breath today.

Love, Mandy

“I think a hero is any person really intent on making this a better place for all people.”
Maya Angelou

I love this reminder.

Heroes are not always loud.
They are not always seen.
They are often simply people choosing kindness when it would be easier not to.

Every time someone does the inner work.
Every time someone pauses, breathes, listens, softens, or chooses compassion.
Every time someone works to heal themselves so they do not pass pain forward.

That is hero work.

It ripples outward like ripples though water.
Quiet. Steady. Powerful.

Thank you to all who are choosing to make this world a little gentler, a little safer, a little more loving for ALL people.

Love,
Mandy

OM. The sound that holds everything.

OM is not just a chant.
It is a vibration that already lives inside you.

The hum of creation.
The echo of Source moving through breath and being.

When we chant OM, we are not trying to create something new.
We are remembering what has always been here.

A simple practice you can try today.

Sit comfortably with your spine tall but relaxed.

Let your hands rest softly on your belly or heart.

Close your eyes.

Take a slow breath in through your nose.

Feel your belly gently expand.

As you exhale, chant
Ooooooo
letting the sound begin deep in the belly.

As the breath continues, allow it to soften into
Mmmmm
feeling the vibration rise into the chest, throat, and head.

Let the sound fade naturally into silence.
Pause for a moment.
Notice the stillness that remains.

Repeat this three times.
Or more if it feels nourishing.

OM has a way of smoothing the nervous system.
Of bringing scattered energy back home.
Of reminding the body that it is safe to rest, listen, and receive.

You do not need to be perfect.
You do not need to sound a certain way.
Your OM is already enough.

May your voice remember its wisdom.
May your breath guide you back to center.

Love,
Mandy

🌕 Full Moon in Cancer 🌕

The first full moon of 2026 arrives in Cancer, the moon’s natural home.

This is an emotional moon. Tender. Reflective. Soft and deep all at once. If feelings feel closer to the surface, you are not alone. The collective is in its feels, and that is not a problem to solve. It is an invitation.

Cancer reminds us that emotions are not meant to be fixed or pushed away. They are meant to be felt, honored, and allowed to move like water.

Full Moon Ritual
Tonight, grab a journal.
Get comfy and place one hand on your heart and one on your belly. Take a few slow breaths. Light a candle or sit near a window. Ask yourself gently, what do I need to feel safe right now? Listen without judgment. Write it.

Let this moon help you soften instead of brace.
Let feeling be a form of care.
Let yourself be held, even by your own presence.

✨ What emotions are asking to be acknowledged under this full moon?

Love,
Mandy 🌕

As this year comes to a gentle close, my heart is full.

I am deeply grateful for every soul who chose healing work in 2025. For every limiting belief that was softened and released. For every moment someone trusted their own inner knowing just a little more. I witnessed people choose the hard work of awareness and growth, and I saw the gold that emerged from it.

And I also witnessed myself doing the hard work. Layer by layer, finding more of my own light. Meeting the places that asked for honesty, compassion, and courage. Letting go of what no longer fit. Remembering who I am beneath the roles, the stories, and the expectations.

Healing is not always easy. It asks us to sit with ourselves honestly, to breathe through discomfort, to stay present when old patterns rise. And yet, again and again, I watched courage unfold. I watched intuition strengthen. I watched light return to places that once felt dim.

I am grateful for this year completing its cycle. For the lessons. For the clarity. For the closing of chapters that made space for something new.

Onward and upward.

Cheers to 2026!
May you be healthy.
May you know love.
May you know peace.
May you be free to find your joy.

With so much love and gratitude,
Mandy

The light you are seeking has always been within you. Are you ready to access it?

Reiki Level 1 helps you learn how to access it. Shoden Reiki Level 1 is a two day, in-person class designed to help you feel the light within you and learn how to work with it in a grounded, practical way.

This class is all about self Reiki. It is about learning to work with your own energy, your own breath, and the luminous Light that already lives within you. This class can help you feel the light and work with it.

We learn how the breath moves energy through the body.
We learn practical ways to ground, center, and settle the nervous system.
We learn that Reiki is not something outside of us, but something we remember.
We gain new tools to use in our daily lives.
We make connections that continue to fill us up with community.

This class is especially supportive for empaths, sensitive souls, and anyone who feels prone to anxiety, worry, or overthinking. Rather than learning to protect yourself from the world, you learn how to stay present, connected, and steady within it.

You will leave with breathwork tools, grounding practices, and a deeper awareness of the interconnectedness between your body, your energy, and life itself. Step by step, we explore how to know and trust the luminous light that resides within you.

No special skills are needed.
This is a true beginner class.
It is also a beautiful reset for those coming from other Reiki lineages who want a deeper understanding of the system of Reiki and its roots.

✨ Join me in this intimate group class January 17 and 18 (10 to 4)
✨ In person at Healing Homes and Hearts

Your light is already there waiting to show you the magic when you begin to work with it. Link in comments🙏

With love,
Mandy
