Friday’s Rhythm: Faith, Rest, and Renewal
The day began in the hushed serenity of early morning, as my husband and I set out with quiet anticipation for the Eid Al-Adha prayer service at the local mosque in Kassel. At 5:50 a.m., surrounded by fellow worshippers, we embraced the sacred moment, seeking peace, gratitude, and renewal. After the prayer, we exchanged heartfelt greetings with family from afar and with a fellow patient, accompanied by her older sister—a reminder of the many forms of companionship and strength. Wanting to bring warmth to the day, I carefully hand-delivered two delicate orchid plants, hoping their blooms would offer a touch of comfort in the absence of home, family, and the familiar embrace of loved ones.
Celebrating so far from home carried an ache, a longing for the traditions woven into past holidays—but we found solace in simple joys. My husband and I captured a precious memory with a selfie, a small keepsake of a blessed morning, a reminder that even in distance, faith remains a binding force.
I then eased into a slow, restorative day one designed for healing—not just physically, but emotionally. At 9:30 a.m., another round of local hyperthermia provided a deep sense of care, followed by an 11:00 a.m. Luxxamed session, tailored to gently soothe my belly and lower back with persoanlised pulses taregting specific areas on my body. It was calm, comforting, a moment to just breathe.
At noon, I immersed myself in a luxurious wooden bath, the warmth cradling me in its embrace—a detox not just of the body, but of the weight I carried in my heart. The herbal oil massage that followed was a balm to my weary spirit, each movement a reminder of self-care, of stillness, of honoring the journey I am on.
It was a day of quiet grace—of faith, healing, and the gentle reassurance that even far from home, peace finds a way to settle within. A beautiful close to the week, and an invitation to step into the weekend renewed and with a grateful heart.
