Magic Tuesday
Are you ready to dance?
A Magical Evening
I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to share more about myself and my life’s purpose with all of you. My journey began when I was very young and hadn't yet developed a sense of what life truly meant. I started my career working in administration for a law firm, assisting the Chief Executive. However, after a while, I felt more like a piece of furniture decorating her office than an active contributor. Thankfully, after a few months, I transitioned into a new role, helping people navigate the legal system and find free legal support. It was through this that I started to find meaning in my work.
I realised that the people I was helping, those facing difficult circumstances, weren’t much different from myself or the people I loved. The fact that so many people in the world were living unhappy, stress-filled lives profoundly impacted my outlook on life. After work, I would speak to my mother about the people I met and their struggles, wondering how they managed to keep going. Their pressures and sadness weighed on me, but it also awakened a desire in me to support them in any way I could.
Over time, people at the court began to ask for me by name. I wasn’t sure why, as I was the least experienced person there. But I listened to each person with genuine care, and I think that made a difference. Eventually, though, I had to leave that job. The constant sadness around me started to affect my own well-being. I wasn’t a lawyer, and I felt I couldn’t help as much as I wanted to.
Around that time, I discovered vitamin B12 injections and their positive effects on the nervous system. That discovery, combined with my experiences at work, led me to realise what I wanted to do with the rest of my life, I found my passion. I wanted to dedicate myself to bringing happiness to others by showing them the beauty of being alive.
I began to explore the mind, positive thinking, breathing and relaxation techniques, the subconscious, and creative visualisation. Having lost my father at 14, I had wondered about the meaning of life from a very early age. Growing up with a younger sister and a very young mother meant I didn’t have time to experience a typical teenage life. Although I didn’t fully grasp the tragedy at the time, I knew I had to rebuild my family and lead a happy life.
In 2006, I became a Life Coach in Relaxation Techniques and Personal Development. It took two years to complete my training, which covered topics like the higher mind, the therapeutic power of suggestion, self-image, self-esteem, stress, nervous disorders, and even overcoming the fear of death. For the first time in my life, I felt truly passionate about my studies. I only wished I had been exposed to these subjects earlier!
As I continued learning about the power of the mind and energy’s influence on our body and life, I became more and more fascinated. In 2004, I completed my second level of Reiki training. I decided not to pursue the final level, as I didn’t feel called to become a Reiki teacher. However, I continued to attend healing courses with one of the most pure-hearted individuals I’ve ever met. She became my mentor, and I’m so grateful to have her in my life.
While I embraced healing and positive thinking, I also became increasingly curious about the physical body. This curiosity led me to become a massage therapist in 2007, shifting my focus to the physical aspect of wellness. Although I still practice Reiki, my work now primarily revolves around massage therapy.
After nearly three years of hard work, I had to make the difficult decision to close Oeshi Vitality Centre to focus on my own health. That decision broke my heart. I felt like my dream had come to an end. However, during a recovery trip to Tenerife, I saw a symbol in a shop window, the same symbol I had chosen for Oeshi’s logo, on a silver chain. It felt like a message telling me not to give up on my dream. I decided to create a special necklace using that symbol, along with gemstones, to remind myself every day why I started Oeshi.
I chose lapis lazuli for the necklace, a stone I’ve always loved. Throughout history, lapis lazuli has been a symbol of royalty, honour, wisdom, and truth. That day, I realised that sometimes achieving our dreams requires taking a different path. We just need to believe in them, no matter what.
As I designed the necklace, I unknowingly began a new adventure: YŪRE - Crystals & Handmade Jewellery. Dreams do come true, but we must actively pursue them. Even if we change our path, we can still head in the right direction and achieve our goals.
Although I took a different path, I’m still moving toward my dream. Thinking about it often brings me to tears, as it feels so real and beautiful. I don’t know exactly how or when it will become a reality, but I trust the process and have faith in the unknown.
Since leaving Tenerife in 2007, I’ve trusted myself completely. My life has continually improved, but it’s also taken a lot of hard work. If you can envision something in your mind, you can create it in your life.
If I were born again, I wouldn’t change a thing, not even the hardest moments, like losing my father. Each experience has shaped me into the person I am today, and I love who I’ve become. I look forward to continuing my journey of growth, knowing that every challenge presents an opportunity to become the best version of myself.
