Yes, yes and yes!

Our next Gong Bath session is coming up! 🙌

On Friday 28th November from 10.30am until 11.15am, IPSUM will be hosting a Gong Bath at The Central Community Centre, Emlyn Square, SN1 5BP.

You will be bathed in the healing frequency of the gong to enter deep relaxation and to bring back harmony and balance to your mind and body. This will cost £10. 🧘

If anyone would like to book a place, please contact us on 01793 695405!

🤔 Why could a Gong Bath benefit you?
A Gong Bath can be a powerful tool for supporting mental health by promoting deep relaxation and stress relief. The soothing, resonant vibrations of the gong help calm the nervous system, quiet a racing mind, and encourage a meditative state. This can reduce feelings of anxiety, tension, and overwhelm while improving emotional balance. By creating a sense of stillness and presence, Gong Baths allow participants to release built-up stress and connect with a deeper sense of inner peace and wellbeing.

(If you have them, you're welcome to bring along a yoga mat, blanket and eye mask, to allow yourself to fully relax!)
*Any card payment will be needed in advance, or cash is accepted upon arrival 😊

I think it’s the weather, but 3 of us are drained ☹️
Mine is an improvement because I’ve been in red (self inflicted- doing too much).

Bless Bill, he’s always on the green 💚

As its anti bullying week I would like to recommend a great book we have in the library, kindly signed and donated by the author Sarah Siggs. Mud Boy - A Story About Bullying.

The story explores the impact of bullying and the importance of kindness, empathy, and speaking up for ourselves and others.

It’s a perfect read for children, parents, and teachers alike, helping to open up important conversations about friendship, feelings, and support.

Two new books on their way to the Little Loves Library.
Thank you so much to Alice - Neurodiverse Journeys for this really generous donation of your books.
I can’t wait to read them (yes, I read all the books that come to the library- I have to be able to know and talk about them after all) 💛

Controversial share, but I thought this was actually quite beautiful.
Taking out the Akashic records part. It’s a beautiful sentiment about much of a gift neurodivergence can be in its natural rawest form.
It’s not always pretty, in fact it’s super difficult and comes with a lot of heartbreak and oftentimes some trauma and fighting to fit in at the best of times, but that’s mostly due to trying to exist in conditions and around people who don’t understand or accommodate.

Watching the telepathy tapes was amazing.
My sons have communication gifts that are the sort of things you read about in comic books.
Even my childhood is filled with stories that seem made up they’re so out there. The things I would see or could do as neurodivergent child.

I don’t like the term superpowers to describe being neurodivergent, but I do love that it’s recognised that there are genius traits and gifted abilities within the spectrum of neurodivergence.

Wow, what a powerful these past 40 days have been!

Thank you so much Leora & Journey Within - Holistic Healing .

I genuinely thought that after all the personal work I’ve done over the years, I already knew most of what I needed to know about myself, but that was such an understatement!

Through this journey, I’ve learned so much more about my triggers, my unhealed traumas, and my unprocessed thoughts and emotions. More importantly, I’ve not only learned, I’ve done the work to process, release, and integrate so much of it.

It’s been a true rollercoaster, but I’m incredibly proud of myself and everyone who took part in this transformative experience. What began as a challenging and deeply revealing process has ultimately changed me in so many positive and lasting ways.

On Friday, I treated myself to a “Balance and Restore” Reiki session, and I honestly can’t remember the last time I felt that calm, grounded, and completely ‘switched off.’

The greatest lessons I’m taking away from this journey are: reframing my old limiting beliefs, learning to hold compassionate space for myself when needed, and standing firm in my boundaries.

Thank you so much! This experience has truly been amazing and life-changing 💜
