About Small magical habits

Sometimes all you need is just a moment to breathe.

Have you ever thought to yourself:

“I wish I could bring little moments of silence into my days. A space where I just... breathe?”

We live in a fast-paced, demanding, noisy world. And in the midst of all this – it is only natural to seek a break.

If so – you are not alone.

We long for this.

A moment when there are no chores.

No pressure.

No need to function, improve, comply.

You don’t need to check if you’ve done enough.

Just be with yourself.

As you are.

A secret, personal, everyday, short time, where no one needs anything from you. A moment when you breathe. Really.

In moments like these – something softens. Something falls back into place. It doesn’t have to be meditation. Not a ritual. Not even a candle. It could be a leisurely sip from a cup of tea, feeling your heart, one slow breath. Two minutes (or more) when you are yourself.

Not to be a “better version of yourself”, But to meet yourself as you are.

How good would it feel if we managed to incorporate a small magical habit of presence into our daily lives? Of listening to ourselves.

Of quiet, unapologetic self-love.

And I believe it is possible.

Even on the busiest day, there are a few minutes of magic waiting just for you.

And what if it didn't depend on anything?

Sometimes the inner space is found in a few minutes of contemplation and easy breathing - outdoor.

And what if it didn't depend on any particular place.

Not on a special time.

Not on prior preparations.

Just you, and your moment.

This magic of "stepping outside of time" exists. It hides. In moments of nonproductive activity – which is actually the most essential of all.

I'm here to help you remember you.

Creating space to breathe. Space for you.

My mission – is to help you remember yourself. Your softness. Your strength. To support you while you allow yourself moments of, what I can only describe as, a tangible feeling of peace in your heart. To help you find this place that is only yours, outside of the daily hustle, where there is room for everything that is You.

When you find that relief, good follows. Reinforces this magical habit, and urges you to expand it to the size that suits you. To make sure it is waiting for you, exactly when you need it.

How do I help you find room for yourself?

Through love.

I believe that all the actions in the world should stem only from love, and anything that does not come from love is a mistake.

When I make such a mistake, (like any of us) I constantly return myself to love. This is the essence. I believe that the source of everything is the primordial singularity, in which everything that exists was one. Though divided, we are all one, and therefore any harm to another is a harm to us and to the world. The nice thing about this point of view comes from understanding that when the good in the life of one of us grows, the good in all of our lives grows. Simply because there is more good. Good is contagious. It conquers. With its gentleness and partnership.

And how do I pass on love? In every way I know and can:

- As an experienced Shiatsu therapist – in an enveloping encounter of body, mind and spirit.

- In the beneficial heart conversations – in a safe digital space or face-to-face.

- And in my personal store – where each product is born for you, personalized for your needs, out of listening. Where I lovingly create small means for great silence – candles, tea, oils, notebooks, bells, Hallellee – tools that will help you slow down, remember, breathe. With the intention of helping you create these moments for yourself. With the intention of giving you exactly what you need – exactly when you need it (if you need it – and this is an equally important question).

Would you like to have such a moment for yourself?

If so, let's talk for a moment about the "how." How you can (easily) create such a moment for yourself with or without tools and means.

The Power of Intention: How Small Actions Connect Us to Ourselves

Everything you choose to do, because you want to do it, you feel like it, and you feel that it will do you good, in a perfect moment that is yours alone - immediately connects you to yourself. A shower can be amazing and give you strength, if it resonates with your need, and can be an absolute nightmare, and drain you, if you really don't want it. It's not the doing - it's the intention.

But there are also "tricks". For example, smell. Tiny molecules that when inhaled, touches your nerve endings, and it immediately connects your mind to memories, emotions and sensations. For example, doing something simple, like doodling, or doing something relaxing like drinking tea, burning a candle or incense, or giving yourself a self-massage can signal to the sensitive nervous system inside you - "If there was something to stress about, something urgent, she wouldn't be doodling..." The more we use these tricks again and again, they get stronger. It's just like magic.

So what are the tricks? There's something "tricky" about tricks.

The thing is, for magical rituals and little habits to really help (and this is the big secret), they need to mean something to you. They need to make you happy. Influence you. And the "problem" with that is that you are unique. There is no one magic for everyone. There is someone (me) for whom the sea is perceived as home, as childhood, so lighting a blue candle with seashells will immediately connect her to herself and calm her down, yet for another who is indifferent to to the sea, or afraid of it, the blue color might feel cold. For her an orange candle sparkling with gold will feel warm, happy and magical. There is someone for whom the sweet smell of vanilla and lavender means relaxation & comfort, and another who can't stand sweet smells. She might calm down with the deep aromas of autumn, pumpkin, and falling leaves. I could go on and on, but that is the place you create personal magical habits from. Whatever suits you is important.

Do the deep scents of autumn, pumpkin, and falling leaves calm you down? Or make you want to roll in the leaves?

How do I find what's right for me? The magical habit that suits me?

Ask yourself - what connects me to myself immediately? What colors and scents make me feel at home, or calm, or happy? And why? What flowers and leaves do I like? Where am I comfortable, in the light or in darkness? What ideas inspire creativity in me? What comforts me? How do I really feel? Do I need to be strengthened or encouraged right now? Or maybe I haven't been quiet for a long time, and peace or harmony sounds like magic right now?

I am here for you.

I would be very happy to be a part of your journey.

I would be happy to create for you the means for moments of silence. For those magical habits. The means that will help you set aside time for a moment with yourself. You are welcome to look at the options on my website and choose exactly how you want what you want, and if it is not there exactly as you want it - write to me. Everything is personal and customized.

"And what do I do once I find my little magical habits?"

You wrap yourself in them. You enjoy them. You incorporate them in every possible way into your daily life. Once you find small, short magical habits to incorporate into your daily life - repeat them over and over again in all their possible variations that are right for you. But... consistency, and its power over us, is another topic, which I will certainly address in a later date.

Your personal journey, or "What if I don't know what I want and how I want it?"

In that case, you may choose to embark on a personal journey of discovery. you will slowly get to know yourself more and more, and know what is right for you.

Experiment. Embark on a personal journey of discovery, where you will slowly get to know yourself more and more, and know what is right for you. In every moment.

Sometimes there are obstacles. Sometimes looking back at ourselves and our past experiences involves dealing with complex emotions, some of which are still too strong, or ones that make us avoid looking. Skip it. These are the moments that still hold us. Relationships, events, and their tethered emotions might anchor us to the past. Sometimes the past is more than just a memory, and it affects our present, and closes part of the way forward for us.

If you would like to introduce small magical habits into your daily life, that will allow you to breathe, open up space for you to be, and increase the good of everyday,

and you feel like you don't know how to create small habits, or aren't sure what you need,

or in the event that you see obstacles in front of you and only the thought of coping... is too big or burdensome,

I invite you to meet me online.

Schedule a talk with me, and we will look for you together. We will go through this journey hand in hand. We will hold everything together. Until it is good.

​I see every interaction of mine as a special and unique encounter and I give it the time and place. I enjoy it. I am all there. This quality of full presence is healing, honoring. I am fully present as a mother, I am fully present when I teach, when I do shiatsu, and in every personal conversation. I wanted the tools and means we use, and our gifts to others and to ourselves, to have that quality. That we magnify all that is personal and intimate. That we do good.

Every interaction of mine is a special and unique encounter, and I give it the time and space. I enjoy it. I am all there. That quality of full presence is healing, respectful.

You are unique. In Chinese medicine, in shiatsu, in education, in parenting, and in life, I quickly discovered that each and every one of us need a unique approach. Our interaction with each other is different, and we ourselves change with each interaction. That's how I know you are unique.

Since the "charms" that may strengthen our good feeling, fill us with energy, and make our steps easier are personal and unique - it is important to me that what you want and gets suits you. Do we all need the same things sometimes ? Of course we do. We all live in the world, we go through similar things, and the closeness between us is unimaginable, and yet, our needs are unique. The time, the "when" we need, is unique. The meaning we attribute to things is unique. The same experience will effect you and me differently. We see experiences through our entire past, our character, and the way we treated similar experiences in the past.

Receiving a unique gift, prepared especially for us, emphasizes our importance in the eyes of the giver, and therefore makes us feel good. When we choose for ourselves, it is even more meaningful. It reminds us of something that is easily forgotten in everyday life -

This life is ours. We are important.

We women excel at this. At being close, personal, and in goodness. With everyone. My hope is that each woman will add small moments for herself to her day. Magical little habits, because that's how the good in all of our lives, as well as the goodness in all of us grows.

​Here for you,
