Resilience! My #koreantough parents not only survived being hospitalized from contracting Covid-19, they are thriving. I'm thankful to have seen them recently where we practiced yoga therapy and over ate family cooked meals. See our cute yoga practice here. I haven't had the easiest relationship with my p's and I'm grateful that we can share presence now without being re-traumatized from events in our past. I'm able to be more in the moment thanks to practices of self-awareness, good teachers, and the support of chosen family.
I hope you're also thriving! What's good this season for you? I'm really excited to share news about self-awareness, health, and wellness offerings from my esteemed peers. We need high-quality help to lift ourselves and each other up. See you on the flip side.

Reiki is an ancient energy healing system that comes from the Japanese technique for stress reduction, chakra healing, and relaxation. One healing session can feel equivalent to 4 hours of sleep. Rei- meaning universal Ki- meaning Chi/Prana means life energy that flows through all living things. When we have certain blockages or traumas in our body, our Ki can get stuck and form diseases in our physical body. However, Ki is receptive to positive thoughts and feelings. Reiki healing uses positive energy to promote the healthy flow of Ki and assists in releasing blockages. It brings harmony to your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual body.
Angelica Neri is leading the training, a Holy Fire Reiki Master who had a personally profound experience with Reiki when she received her menstrual cycle for the first time in years after one of her Reiki Training Sessions. She uses Reiki regularly with her private Ayurvedic clients, in leading group Reiki experiences with SoulFull's membership program, and while teaching Yoga.
To be clear, there's always been anti-Asain racism in America, it's just more obvious now and more violent. On May 20, President Biden made history by signing an anti-Asian hate crime bill, saying ""For centuries, Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, Pacific Islanders, diverse and vibrant communities have helped build this nation only to be often stepped over, forgotten, or ignored. My message to all of those who are hurting is, we see you. And the Congress has said, we see you. And we are committed to stop the hatred and the bias."
If you also want to be an ally to stop hate crimes against Asian Pacific Island Desi Americans - APIDA:
-check your biases
-LISTEN
-BE HUMBLE
-don't assume you're the authority on how to help others, or authority about anything, especially if you're white
-donate money or time to help the APIDA cause
-boost ADIPA signals by sharing on your social media and talking about important issues, learn about some here
-don't be a jerk to yourself or anyone
What are other ways you think you can help? Thanks for being an ally and not part of the problem.
