20.01.2022 A spiritual approach to what is happening on earth now. Would love to know if this makes sense to you. It does to me. With all my love, Anna xxx

16.01.2022 #imperfectlyperfect #truthandbareday6 HOW PERFECT ARE YOU? I am still working on loving all of me. Sure, I have made great inroads into this but I still sometimes fall into the never productive pattern of self-disapproval.... Mostly, I am just responding to being human. For being critical with myself after getting cross with my son for hacking into my birthday cake. I really don’t why he has to break or mess up things. But truthfully, my tolerance for this has been worn down to about zero. As someone who has done a lot of self-inquiry, I realise that this stems from my own upbringing. One of my mum’s childhood judgments which I can still hear even though she passed nearly two years ago is You always make a mess. And I actually doubt that: I’m an extremely neat Virgo. But to my mum, if I spilt a few crumbs, that was a mess. On a good day, were I have had a full night’s sleep, I am so much more responsive and less reactive. And also, thankfully, when I do mess up (no pun intended) and shout at my boy, rather than respond, I always do my best to give myself a break. I internally say something like this; It’s okay Anna. The mess isn’t important. Xavier is a kind boy who is a little clumsy. You’ve got this my darling. I am sharing this post to show that nobody is perfect. I do believe babies are divine but by the time we grow up into an adult we are often carrying a fair bit of emotional baggage. We’ve also got about 18 years of absorbing how our parent’s coped with us being children (who break things and make a mess). If you were shouted out, chances are you’re a shouter too. So please, please, please, give yourself a break when you mess up or you feel less than perfect. You really do deserve it. And know this: changing your own behaviour is so much easier when you are kind and accepting of yourself. Add a heart below if this resonates with you.

16.01.2022 Need more peace and freedom in your life? Come and join my forgiveness journey - Free to be Me. It starts on Monday 5 October.

16.01.2022 This is brilliant. How to stop being a victim and start being sovereign. Any questions, please contact me. Anna xxx

16.01.2022 I really admire this doctor. I find him genuinely helpful and all his information makes great sense to me. This interview is so good if you're interested in gut health especially.

15.01.2022 It's important to keep moving forward in life. Taking leaps of faith can be scary but you can start of with just small steps. And it's perfectly fine if it's one step forward and two steps back. At least you're moving.

14.01.2022 Is it always good to speak your truth? Find out why I don’t believe it is. I am keen to hear your thoughts too. Anna ... Choosing love over fear

14.01.2022 #truthandbare #day5 #soapbox WHAT I WANT YOU TO KNOW I want every single woman in the world to know this: You are enough exactly as you are. Yes, I’m talking to you dear one. ... You are smart enough, worthy of only the best in life and positively amazing just as you are. You do not need to change one thing about yourself. Not a jot. I want you to know this so you will never again judge yourself harshly, compare yourself to others or let self doubt paralyse you. It's easier than you think. Just be super kind to yourself. This topsy turvy world needs you now more than ever. I love and value you just as you are. If you cannot see your own magic and would like some help to do so please reach out to me. With kindness and care, Anna xxx

13.01.2022 This is fascinating to me. I’m curious who else finds it so. Let me know if you do.

12.01.2022 When I didn't know how to forgive myself, I definitely suffered. I also carried around a lot of guilt and anger which just made me feel down and hopeless. As you can gather, I use to be ridiculously hard on myself. If I didn't do something perfectly, I would beat myself up, so to speak. The most recent example of this is as a mother. Especially in the early days, I was absolutely horrified that I wasn't the perfect mum. If I shouted at the kids, I would then hang my head in... shame. If the house wasn't tidy, I would be embarrassed. For goodness sake, I even felt guilty when my babies did not get enough sleep (according to the parenting manuals). This wasn't much fun for me, or my children. So what did I do about it? I started seeing a kinesiologist. She said I had to be kinder to myself. I said, "I don't know how." So I had to relearn how to be kind to myself, how to forgive myself and how to love myself. Thankfully for my whole family, I did learn how to forgive myself for not being the perfect mum. Nowadays, if I shout in frustration at the kids, I give myself a break. I understand that nobody on earth is perfect. Most mums do shout, at least the ones I know do. And through being able to forgive myself I have found freedom and peace. By not needing to be perfect, I was able to take part in the recent Performance on the Porch concert. I played my trumpet for one song. Yes, I sounded rough. My boy ran off and my daughter who was filming it was rather annoyed by the whole process. But that's okay. I'm using it as an example to my kids and anyone else listening, that it's more important to have a go or make someone smile than win awards. On Monday the 5th of October, I am starting a 40 Day Free and Fearless Forgiveness Journey. This wasn't much fun for me or my children. So what did I do about it? I started seeing a kinesiologist. She said I had to be kinder to myself. I said, "I don't know how."_source=sharebutton With kindness and care, Anna xxx With great kindness and care, Anna xxx

12.01.2022 Last week was my birthday and rather than miss the precious people who are no longer in my life or the friends I wasn’t allowed to invite (due to lockdown), I literally made space for them anyway at our table. I brought in photos of my favourite people, I used the cutlery of my departed mum and dear friend Robyn. And it really felt like I was surrounded by all the love in the world. So instead of missing people, I brought them in in a non 3D way. It was great fun.

11.01.2022 HOW FORGIVENESS CREATES PEACE I discovered a few years ago, that great peace comes with forgiveness. Prior to that, I was finding it hard to come to peace with a particularly difficult break-up. I kept being haunted by thoughts such as, "Why didn't he try harder? What did I do wrong? and "How could he do such a thing?" But these questions only further tormented me. Someone then suggested to me that everybody is doing their best. My first thought was, "Bullshit." This parti...cular person in my life had not behaved well at all. But slowly, slowly, I began to accept that everybody really was doing their best. This person included. He was doing his best, with what he had. Buddha is quoted as saying, "Holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die." This was true of me in the above situation. I was suffering, not the person I thought had so wronged me. So what's the answer to feeling uncomfortable emotions? Are you feeling bitter? Try forgiveness. Are you feeling depressed over a certain situation? Try forgiveness. Are you feeling so angry that you shake when you think about someone? Try forgiveness. Here are three simple and powerful ways to experience more forgiveness in your life. Try putting yourself in the other person's shoes. Take into account their childhood and the things they learned growing up. Use your imagination to see them as a tiny baby and then imagine your adult self forgiving them.

11.01.2022 Crown chakra opening or just the sun at a particular angle?

11.01.2022 Hello dear people, I'm having lots of fun with my re-branding. Yesterday I had a session with the amazing Nicola Chung. Here's what we came up with. Would love to know what you think about them. What messages or feeling do you get from them? All comments are welcome. With love and thanks, Anna xxx

07.01.2022 I'm always eager to learn. This morning I've been listening to an amazing talk by Luminara Serdar about the Neuro Modulation Technique (NMT) she uses with clients. She specialises in supporting kids who have autism. She first came to NMT after seeing someone about her allergies. In two sessions her allergies were cleared and her eyesight improved. I'm very intrigued by that. I'm going to check her out further. ... I will let you know how I go. From my braveheart to yours, Anna xxx

06.01.2022 If you need to hear a truly beautiful and heart warming story here it is. And it just goes to show how one simple act of kindness can have such a powerful effect. With love, Anna xxx

05.01.2022 #truthandbare7 #rebelsonpurpose IT'S TIME TO BE NICE For the longest time I looked to others for approval or validation. At first it was my mum, then teachers at school and finally as an adult, my partner.... This pattern didn’t stop. More recently, after becoming a kinesiologist, I looked to my clients for validation. I didn’t always ask how they felt at the end of a session but I looked for clues. Was their face brighter? Did they seem lighter? And if they did, I was happy. But if they didn’t I was worried. Thankfully now, my reliance on external validation is way less. I know that I am always doing my best and if someone doesn’t like that, I say tough. If you can say, with your hand on your heart, that you have done your best what more can be done? I truly believe that your best is enough. You are enough. Every moment of every day. Sure, you can stuff up at times but give yourself a break. You’d give your best friend a break so why not extend the same kindness to yourself? You absolutely deserve this. If you’d like some help with this, feel free to reach out. With kindness and care to you (and me). Anna xxx

02.01.2022 Who’s tired of unnecessary fear mongering? I certainly am. I find it offensive on so many levels. I’ve been up since 4.00am very happily working on my business. At 8.00am I thought I’d walk over to Aldi to get some plants for our garden. ... I got there at about 8.20. There were already about 50 people in front of me in the queue. This is typical of sales days. By the time I made it through the doors many of the sales items had been snaffled up. At the shoe sales area a woman walking backwards nearly tripped over my trolley. She was not at all pleased with me. Before I got to the check out I had the warning signs (visual disturbance) of a migraine. I get about two migraines a year and it’s usually due to lack of sleep or stress. I had a good sleep last night, was feeling happy and relaxed while home and then boom: a migraine while shopping at Aldi. I notice that Aldi have some very amusing tv ads about the extreme measures some of their fictitious shoppers go to, to remember Market day. Aldi intentionally have limited stock to invoke panic buying. Melburnians are already stressed by strict lockdown rules and home schooling. Why does Aldi, all in the name of profit, have to add to that? Shame on you Aldi. I think this has to stop. Do you? Comment below if you agree. Rant over. P. S I’m so glad I know the acupressure points to turn off my migraine.

01.01.2022 Ever since childhood I have created family without regard to bloodlines or shared history. To me family means being with people I love and share a bond with. The bond can take many forms. So grateful to share this evening with our Diwali family Pooja and Vimz.
