🕯️ Pchum Ben: Honoring Our Ancestors 🕯️

Every year, Cambodians around the world pause to remember those who came before us. Pchum Ben, also known as Ancestors’ Day, is a 15-day festival when families visit pagodas, offer food to monks, and make merit for departed loved ones, including seven generations of ancestors.

According to tradition, the gates of the afterlife open and spirits return to seek the offerings and prayers of their living relatives. Families gather, share meals, and carry sticky rice balls (bay ben) to the pagoda, a beautiful reminder that love and gratitude reach across generations.

To everyone celebrating: may your merit-making bring peace to your ancestors and blessings to your family. 🙏

Sok sabay Pchum Ben!

We've all felt it: the pull to post something that says look at me, the habit of checking who noticed, or the quiet sting of scrolling past bodies and lives that seem more wanted than ours. Wanting to be seen is deeply human, but attention from strangers is like sipping salt water. It satisfies for a moment and leaves you thirstier. This guided meditation helps you meet that urge with curiosity instead of shame, so you can ask what it's really asking for. Often it's something simple, like feeling enough, feeling valued, or feeling less alone.

Over 15 minutes, you'll ground yourself in your body, watch the urge rise and fall like a wave, and turn toward the kind of worth that doesn't need an audience or a number. You'll also practice a simple pause for the next time your phone buzzes: What am I actually looking for right now? Whether you're trying to scroll less, post from fullness rather than hunger, or just feel more at home in yourself, press play, get comfortable, and remember that you were never meant to be consumed. You were meant to be known.
