The Pineal Gland and Divine Healing
Introduction Chronic pain and long-standing health conditions affect millions of people worldwide, often defying conventional medical treatments. In recent years, there has been growing interest in holistic and spiritual approaches to healing, many of which emphasize the powerful connection between mind, body, and spirit. One intriguing area of exploration is the role of the pineal gland, a small gland located deep within the brain, often referred to as the “seat of the soul” in mystical traditions. This essay explores the idea that the pineal gland may act as a receiver of Divine healing energy, facilitating a mind-body connection that supports the healing of chronic pain and conditions.

How to Forgive Yourself for the Things You Cannot Undo
There are mistakes that live in our minds long after they happened. Maybe it was a word spoken in anger, a relationship we destroyed, or a choice that pulled our lives in a direction we never imagined. Regret can replay in our heads like a song we cannot switch off, and shame becomes a heavy chain around the heart. Yet no matter how permanent the past may seem, forgiveness has the power to loosen its grip. Learning to forgive yourself does not erase what was done, but it allows healing to take root where pain once lived.

What lives in the Spaces
Sylvie understood she was in her childhood kitchen without seeing a single tile or cabinet. The knowledge sat heavy in her chest—the weight of recognition without image. She could feel the warmth radiating from where the afternoon sun should be hitting the breakfast table, though no golden light painted her dream-vision. Then, like a camera suddenly focusing, fragments began to appear—a flash of yellow curtains swaying in peripheral vision, the gleam of chrome on the old refrigerator handle catching light that shouldn't exist.

Climb On Down. Content Warning.
~ Let's begin the tour from the soft space between our closed eyes, the place one may see colourful spots, auras of timeless reflection, a shade between our restful state and consciousness. Just lie there. Here is where you are truly alone, the emptiness we are left with, a place Freud referred to as our Id. No one truly knows us and our highest self often ignores this quiet spot altogether. Truth is not always pretty and so easy to hide from. ~
