the Secret is to Live in Moment: A Journey Self-Healing

The Secret Is to Live in the Moment - A Journey to Self-Healing is an intimate and compassionate guide for anyone navigating hardship, illness, loss, change, transformation, or simply longing for a deeper connection with themselves. Drawing from her own life experiences-including profound loss, major surgery, years of supporting others through Reiki, and her personal journey through pancreatic cancer, chemotherapy, and multiple surgeries-Corália Rocha shares the practices and perspectives that helped her remain grounded in the present moment during some of the most challenging chapters of her life. This is not a book about pretending that difficult moments do not hurt. It is about learning how to meet yourself within those moments with greater love, gentleness, awareness, and compassion. Inside these pages, you will discover affirmations, meditation, gratitude practices, the Reiki Principles, exercises for self-reflection, and simple daily practices designed to help you quiet the noise, reconnect with yourself, work with your body rather than against it, and return again and again to the only moment you truly have-the present one. In 2020, Corália's daily practice of reciting the Reiki Principles-also shared in this book-was selected for publication in the December 2020 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine, where it was featured in the article "The Rites That Bind." Through the perspective of both a Reiki Master Teacher who spent years supporting others and a patient who found herself needing to draw upon those same teachings, Corália offers a deeply personal reminder: Healing does not always mean fixing everything. Sometimes, it begins with changing the way we speak to ourselves, allowing ourselves to feel, finding gratitude even in uncertainty, and choosing to be fully present for the life that is here today. You are not simply a passenger in your healing journey. You are one of the most important parts of it. The Secret Is to Live in the Moment invites you to slow down, breathe, listen within, and discover that even during life's greatest challenges, peace, love, hope, and healing can still be found-right here, in the present moment.
