In this episode, we explore how the throat chakra, or Vishuddha, supports language learning and how the act of learning a language can, in turn, heal the throat chakra. By practicing mindful speaking, reading aloud, and breath-focused articulation, learners stimulate the vagus nerve, which calms the parasympathetic nervous system, reduces amygdala hyperactivity, and lowers stress that contributes to GERD and acid reflux. The vibrations produced by the voice resonate in the throat and chest, easing tension and strengthening communication. This practice not only improves language fluency but also fosters emotional release, confidence, and physical healing, proving that your own voice is both a tool of expression and a pathway to wellness.

For the second year in a row, Taylor Swift has been named Spotify's most-played artist.

The streaming service has released its annual overview of individual listening trends as well as trends from around the world — called Spotify Wrapped.

Users can now see their top artists, songs, genres, albums and podcasts, as well as uncover which artists had the biggest year on the platform.

Swift was 2024's most-streamed artist globally, ranking in more than 26.6 billion streams. She was followed by The Weeknd, Bad Bunny, Drake and Billie Eilish.

Swift also earned the title of most-streamed album in 2024, with The Tortured Poets Department, while Sabrina Carpenter had the most-streamed song both in the US and globally this year, with her summer hit "Espresso." It was streamed more than 1.6 billion times.

For users who want to look back at their listening habits over the year, there were some new features to explore on Spotify Wrapped.

These include a new data story called "Your Music Evolution," which shows three distinct musical phases for each user, and a personalized playlist based on them.

People like to share their Spotify Wrapped data on social media, although this year some complained that the roundup was missing certain features they'd previously enjoyed.

Streaming now accounts for most of the money generated by the music industry — 84% in the United States, according to the Recording Industry Association of America, and 67.3% around the world, according to a 2024 report by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, which tracks global sales.

Spotify is the largest platform of all with a reported 626 million users and 246 million subscribers.

Crush Chaos, Own Your Career: 5 Hacks for Women Who Do It All

Oh, that glorious chaos of adulting! Left hand typing reports, right hand folding laundry, one foot meal-prepping, and the other chasing a toddler. “Balance”? More like “survival mode.” But fear not—I’ve cracked the code. As a self-proclaimed “balance wizard,” here’s my cheat sheet:

1️⃣ Daily ‘Mini-Vacation’
Steal 30 minutes every day for pure joy: a book, Netflix, doodling, or staring at trees. Non-negotiable. (Your sanity will thank you.)

2️⃣ People > To-Do Lists
Swap “productivity guilt” for real moments with loved ones. Pro tip: Laughing with friends recharges you faster than 10 coffees.

3️⃣ Perfectionism? Kick It to the Curb
Repeat after me: “Done > Perfect.” Your boss won’t notice the typo. But burnout? Oh, they’ll notice that.

4️⃣ Master the Art of “NOPE”
Not your emergency? Not your problem. Boundaries = freedom. (And fewer 3 AM Slack pings.)

5️⃣ Phone? Gone on Weekends
Activate “ghost mode.” No emails. No doomscrolling. Just living. (Spoiler: The world won’t collapse.)

Your Turn, Balance Warriors!

Привет! Dans cette petite histoire  je parle de la difficulté de choisir un cadeau. J’utilise beaucoup d’impératifs. J’utilise la méthode TPRS comme d’habitude. 

В ноябре у папы Кати день рождения. Ему будет 60 лет. Катя не знает, что ему подарить, потому что у него много хобби и интересов.  Поэтому она попросила родственников и друзей дать ей совет. 
- Не дари ему деньги! Папа очень хочет научиться играть на гитаре. Подари ему гитару! – сказала мама. 
- Папа любит читать фантастику. Подари ему книги братьев Стругацких. Но не дари ему подписку на электронную библиотеку. Ему нравится читать только бумажные книги, - посоветовал брат.
- Твой папа очень активный. Он никогда не сидит на месте. Подари ему туристическую путёвку на Байкал! - предложили друзья.
Все идеи были очень хорошие. Как трудно выбрать идеальный подарок близкому человеку…

Vocabulaire
день рождения – anniversaire
дарить/подарить подарки - offrir des cadeaux
советовать/посоветовать - conseiller 
предлагать/предложить - proposer 
подписка на электронную библиотеку - abonnement à la bibliothèque électronique
бумажные книги / электронные книги - livres papier/électroniques
он никогда не сидит на месте -il ne reste jamais en place
туристическая путёвка - certificat de voyage/ forfait voyage
