The 5 Love Languages and Self Love

Photo from google images

I'm sure you have heard of the 5 Love Languages, or even read the book written by Gary Chapman. The book and theory are extremely helpful with any type of relationship, even platonic or work relationships (within reason), but have you ever thought about how the 5 Love Languages can be used to promote more self love and self care and build a better relationship with ourselves?

For example, my top love languages are:

  • Physical Touch
  • Quality Time
  • Acts of Service

How can I use these for self love? 

  • Physical Touch- I can treat myself to an acupuncture session or massage, or even administer self massage or put on my lotion with loving intention and positive affirmations
  • Spending quality time with myself like going for a walk, spending time out in nature or reading a book
  • Acts of service like cooking myself a nice dinner
We don't need other people to show us that we are loved! The job is ours and we can really take this theory of which love language(s) resonate with ourselves and focus on how we can implement it for more for self love. What are your love languages?

Managing Stress through the Holidays

  The holiday season is a time of joy, connection, and celebration, but it can also bring stress, overwhelm, and exhaustion. As a Reiki Energy Healer, I know how crucial it is to stay energetically balanced, especially during this busy time of year.  Here are a few tips to help you navigate the holidays with ease and grace: . Meditation + Awareness : Spend a few minutes each morning or evening doing a body scan. Where are you holding tension? Where can you release? How are you feeling? How can you honor that feeling? After acknowledging where you are right now, allow yourself to sit in stillness for a few moments. This simple act can help release tension, calm your nervous system, and align your energy. Set Energetic Boundaries : Holidays often bring crowded spaces and social obligations.

Tap Into Cancer Energy

What is Cancer Season? As the Sun moves into the water sign of Cancer, we’re invited to slow down, soften, and return to the sanctuary of our hearts. Cancer season (June 21 – July 22) marks the beginning of summer in the Northern Hemisphere—a time of warmth, nourishment, and emotional renewal. Governed by the Moon, Cancer energy brings us home to ourselves, urging us to tend to our emotional bodies, deepen our intuition, and create safe, sacred spaces—both within and around us. As a Reiki energy healer, I see Cancer season as a powerful opportunity to reconnect with self-love, compassion and activate the healing energy of the heart. If you’ve been feeling overextended or disconnected, this season is your invitation to come back to center and hold yourself with the tenderness you so often offer others.
