In this episode of 5 Minutes of Peace, Reiki Master, psychic medium, and massage therapist Kristy Lageson shares a moving excerpt from The Book of Awakening by Mark Nepo. This reflection invites listeners to explore the deep and sometimes challenging practice of loving ourselves—and how that love connects us to the world around us.

Kristy reads about the courage it takes to stay loyal to something no one else can see, and the quiet strength required to nurture our own self-worth. Through poetic imagery—like feeding a “clear bird” that only you can see—Mark Nepo illustrates how self-love transforms secrecy into light and brings us back to the oneness of life.

Kristy also shares from her own experience as a healer and intuitive, weaving together themes of Reiki, mediumship, and massage therapy. Her reading offers a gentle reminder that when we believe in what no one else can see, we discover our own wings and our shared connection with all living things.

This episode is an invitation to pause, reflect, and remember that every moment—no matter how difficult—is a fine moment to live, and a fine moment to be fully present.
