24.01.2022 In every walk with nature you receive far more than you think or can possibly imagine. Nature heals and rebalances you every second. This happens via colour, sound, energy, heat, light, fragrances, movement just to name a few! Being in nature, or even viewing scenes of nature, reduces anger, fear, and stress and increases pleasant feelings and feel-good hormones. Even 5 minutes can make a big difference to your endorphin and hormone levels :-) Research done in hospitals, offi...ces, and schools has found that even a simple plant in a room can have a significant impact on stress and anxiety. I believe this, I added a plant to my bathroom the other day and I can't believe how it has changed and uplifted the room! Nature enlivens your senses, balances and grounds you, which helps you bust away the stresses of life! So get out there, put it to the test! Find a plant or a natural location, go for a walk or just sit there, and 'Be'. See if you can 'Be' several times a week (no gadgets - you'll be ok, lol). Reckon instead of finding it hard you might just have yourself a great week!

24.01.2022 What are you up to this week? I'm enjoying walk outdoors under the trees

22.01.2022 "Don't allow physical distance to act as a barrier between yourself and healing! Over 1800kms separates Anika and I, but remote kinesiology sessions work a treat, all while sitting in a comfy recliner in my lounge room sipping a herbal tea. Ahhhh. I've been having remote sessions with Anika for almost 2 years now, unhindered during 2020, by Covid restrictions. Anika is professional, yet affable; astute, yet compassionate. I would highly recommend you book an appointment with... Anika and trust her to help facilitate your own healing journey." SN, Victoria.

21.01.2022 Greg came for help with his energy levels. He was exhausted in the mornings and finding it hard to face the working day. He had a new job which he initially liked, until he found out the boss would display his frustration and anger freely to anyone in earshot. When we started his stress level was 97%! His life force was only 11%. When we began consulting with his body, using his muscles to speak for him, the muscle movement indicated we had to go back to age... 13, and they locked on the word wrath. I explained wrath usually meant a punishment that was given out as a result of angering someone, who would then retaliate or punish the person who made them angry. I asked him if he knew what this was about? He said no, not really. We asked the body to indicate relevance of the word to Greg and it showed us that this stress came (in Greg’s perception) from his Mother. ‘What happened at 13?’ I asked. Greg’s Dad had separated from his Mum and his Mum was very upset and hurt. She would get angry easily. She got angry a lot. ‘How did that make you feel?’ I asked. ‘Sad’ he said ‘scared. And like everything was up to me’. ‘What do you mean by everything?’ I asked. ‘I felt it was up to me to make Mum happy, to make everything ok. To make sure we had peace and no arguments, or we’d get a walloping’. Wow, what a burden on a child, I thought. Greg felt he had to be peacemaker. ‘So how does that relate to your current situation?’ I asked. He immediately saw it: ‘God, that’s how I feel at work’. ‘So are you responding to conflict to work as you did when you were young, to conflict in the house?’. ‘Yep’ was his answer. Now he knew what was going on, all I had to do was help the body correct its imbalance, which we did through acupressure and the use of a flower remedy for the nerves and one essential oil to calm the brain. His stress at the end was 0% and his life force returned to 92% and rising. Two weeks later he reported great energy levels on getting up and no problems around the boss at work. He could even keep a small smile on his face, as he got on with his work while his boss droned on in the background. It simply didn’t bother him anymore. Not a bad result. How many people react to their workplace, and their workplace authority as if it was their stand-in family? A lot. You can have this awesome outcome too, just see your Kinesiologist and ask your body what you need to be well. Love AnikaB xxx

21.01.2022 SOOOOO Thankful for 4 days of beautiful, meaningful, sacred and safe connection with my sisters on retreat. Thank you, I love you

21.01.2022 What are you thankful for today?What are you thankful for today?

21.01.2022 A lot of us are all spending lots of time either alone or very close to others in isolation. And many of us are watching the news, seeing what is happening through this pandemic. The opinions of others, whether they are close to you, or on media of some kind, can trigger strong reactions in all of us. Did you know that in Traditional Chinese Medicine it is considered unhelpful to have great swings of emotion? It destabilizes your energy, the energy which feeds your body syste...ms. It contributes to illness exactly what we are all trying to avoid! So when something you don't like come up, when something triggers your ego, take a deep breath, stand and walk outside. Then ask yourself, why you think that way? Notice where you placed your focus. Now ask: Can you see the other side of the situation? Help yourself by doing anything and everything you can to change your attitude, your disposition. These things that trigger you, they come to the surface so that you can notice them, and transform the thinking behind them, so they leave your life and you can embrace more of the authentic, joyful you within. If you want help transforming old patterns of thought and letting go of what you don't need any longer, reach out to me, or another kinesiologist or healer you trust, and begin enjoying positive change and peace in your life.

21.01.2022 What are you thankful for today? Thankful for the gifts from my garden!

21.01.2022 I'm so thankful to have met these lovely ladies at my recent retreat. I've made new friends!!! We had a great time, shared, grew and empowered each other in such a short time.... including learning how to make healthy nutritious snacks for ourselves! So grateful for the company of wonderful, non-judgemental, accepting women xxx

19.01.2022 Working out today. When I started a few weeks ago I could do 0 push ups and sit ups. Now I'm doing 33 and 59 a minute! What the? Amazed by my Body! Bodies are incredible! Our Health is Our Wealth! What're you up to today?

18.01.2022 Today's tip - add a few drops of coconut water, a juice, chlorophyll or a flower remedy into your bottle of water to break up the water molecules - this makes the difference between water going straight through you or GETTING INTO YOUR CELLS. Enjoy! AnikaB xxx

17.01.2022 When did you last lighten up and PLAY? Play is REALLY important! It is the wellspring of JOY! Something we have too little of in our lives in general in the world today. ... I want to encourage you to play! Whether it is with a pet, a family member, a friend, or even through online connection, PLAY (online gaming excluded for it's addictive action which cancels out joy). It's important to let your hair down and play as if you were a kid once again - but many of us have forgotten what play is - it is having fun FOR NO REASON. Just for fun...and this leads to Joy! So have fun with the simplest of things in your day, and have some good old fashioned simple fun. If you are busy, perhaps just for this weekend, stop focusing on the things that are so heavy. Stop focusing on, and just put aside for a while, the things that feel like a burden, on the things that feel like pressure. Switch your focus to appreciation - take a moment to be thankful for one thing -just one. Then, take a moment to call up and connect with your inner child. What could your Inner Child do that would be fun? This is different to you as an adult! As an adult you might like a walk, but your Inner Child might like to throw a stick for the dog! Connect to your Child - they know what is great for you! Maybe it's to play a board game, or a card game. Maybe it's to go into the kitchen and cook or bake. Maybe it's to put on music and dance. Or maybe it's to go into your closet and play dress up. I hope you can take sometime to allow yourself to REMEMBER how to PLAY. It is the best de-stresser ever. Enjoy! AnikaB xxx

17.01.2022 A Valuable Tip to Help You Deal Effectively with the Most Common Stress Symptoms: The H.A.L.T. system is to alert you to when you need to stop, and take care of yourself, to stop stress getting worse. I had this on my fridge for years, to help me take good care of myself and develop self loving actions: - feed yourself nourishing food and drink... - deal with the fear and hurt behind this - soothe yourself with nurturing acts (not foods), read, bathe, walk, spend time chatting to others. Love yourself. - rest, allow the body to do some internal checking and healing. I hope you find the HA.L.T. system as helpful as I have. Enjoy!

16.01.2022 Finding the cause of high blood pressure and cholesterol.... This post may help you if you struggle with these two conditions. Follow the link, and enjoy the read. Anika. http://wix.to/0cCODDk

16.01.2022 What are your cravings saying about you? Instead of giving in to your cravings, why not fix what's causing them. You will feel better and be healthier too. What current cravings are you having? I have eliminated mine by understanding what's behind them Be healthy. Be happy. Be informed.

16.01.2022 Do you ever notice that in our world it often seems to be in fashion to be busy. A busy person is often equated to being an important person. Do you have many things on your schedule, that keep you busy? Things that you could, with some thought and planning, eliminate from your list? Long lists are stressful and do not serve your health. When we have many things that we think we need to do, and when we don't get them all done, they weigh heavily upon our minds.That's when the... pressure and stress rises, and we have to try to schedule what we haven't accomplished Often, the things that we need to do, loop like a broken record through our thoughts. This takes up mental energy and sucks the very life force out of our being. And in the evenings, when we finally do stop and take a rest, many people find they really can't seem to relax. Often we are not able to replenish the energy that we've spent worrying throughout the day and we have troubles falling asleep, and this can start the cycle of being exhausted . A great practice is to take time each evening to ask yourself what are the 3 priorities you need to accomplish the next day, and what are the 3 tasks you would like to achieve. Then begin by doing the 3 priorities the next day. Writing them down allows you to get them out of your mind, to let them go.You will find this clears a lot of mental stress, and you may also have more energy! Once you have written them down and they are out of your mind, before bed, take the time to say to yourself: "I have no responsibilities right now, and I chose to allow myself to relax" :relieved: Continue to say it to yourself until it's easy and you believe it. It is only when our brain thinks that we no longer have a responsibility or no longer on call, that your brains and bodies can actually relax. I hope this tip is helpful to you all. Love, AnikaB xxx

16.01.2022 Out and about enjoying the beautiful Spring sunshine this weekend, what are you up to?

16.01.2022 On a recent trip to Toowoomba I enjoyed a new local delicacy - the Violet Icecream - made of violet flowers. It was such an amazing experience! For the first time in my life I tasted a colour! I could taste the colour Purple! Yes, really! Incredible! This is called 'synaesthesia', apparently. The locals tell me that in Queensland a lot of people are driving to spend time in places they would not normally visit, in order to have a break from isolation. ... I know I enjoyed my recent trip, it inspired me immensely. Do you have any day or overnight trips planned?

16.01.2022 In thanks, awe and tribute of my silent team members... I am deeply grateful for your help and love everyday My gratitude to Bliss for this appropriately named blissful production ... Enjoy 6 gentle minutes of love...

15.01.2022 This week I'm thankful to have experienced the deep serenity of the Japanese Gardens at Mount Cootha Botanical Gardens ..... Hope these pics bring you a little of the serenity too

14.01.2022 THINK POSITIVE AND FOCUS ON GRATITUDE A healthy positive attitude helps build a healthier immune system and boosts overall health. Your body believes what you think, so focus on the positive.

14.01.2022 What are you up to today? I'm working out today - keeping fit - because we are Limitless, don't you think?

13.01.2022 I'm so grateful to have the little things... for my Life, Health and Strength

13.01.2022 What would you like to achieve? Would you like to be like Miranda, who turned her ailing business around into a great success?...

11.01.2022 If you feel like you’re spending too much time and energy on one part of your life, your work-life-play balance may be off. It is critical to do all 3, for our mental, emotional and physical health. Most people are getting the hang of word-life balance, but they forget the 'Play'! Play is important - it is joy, for no reason other than joy! Who says as adults we should not have joy and fun and toys? Who says toys need to be restricted to children? Allow yourself to have fun... - it raises your vibe and improves your life in ways you can't even imagine. The best way to do this varies from one person to another, but here is a useful Tip: write 'Play' on a post it note, and then stick it onto a day or slot in your diary. Do it electronically if you need to. That day/hour is 'taken' for you to play. Do what you like - look through vintage cars online for parts, do some gardening, bike riding, crafting, play with your makeup, jewelry - anything you can find that has no reason whatsoever - and watch your Spirits rise! Enjoy

11.01.2022 Went on retreat last week with Wendy Barron to Buderim on the Sunshine Coast. Had an awesome time, met amazing women, and got back into regular Yoga! Yay! Who could resist with that view from the studio?

10.01.2022 Spring has Sprung! It is time for an updated look , so I asked Simone Kelaart to work her magic...and she did! Bless her amazing hairdressing skills, I enjoyed a day rocking amazing curls! Love your work Simone xxx

10.01.2022 It's summer, and even with rain, we can dehydrate. Do you notice your lips or mouth being dry, or your lips cracking? The number one cause? Dehydration. Yep. So pick up that water bottle, add a touch of himalayan mineral salts, a teaspoon of juice or cholorphyll and take a sip - regularly. You will notice a HUGE difference in how you feel - physically AND in your MOOD, not to mention in your capacity to get work done! Do whatever you can just get water in your body. You can t...ry these apps that remind you! And hey, who can't drink while on their phone right? The Best Hydration Apps of 2020 Daily Water Tracker Reminder Hydro Coach WaterMinder Water Drink Reminder Aqualert And YES, soft drinks are NOT water. Tea and coffee are ESPECIALLY NOT counted as water - as it takes your kidneys one day and 335ml to filter a cup from your system! Milk and Energy drinks also DO NOT equal water - they USE up water in your body. As a simple guide, for every 50kg of body weight a person should consume 1.5litres of good quality water a day. Your joints require 1.1 litres a day just to lubricate them! That's what a human body needs - every day - every, single day. If you work out, or if it's a hot day you will need to increase that amount. One nice idea is to cut up fruit with in water let it sit for 8 to 12 hours within the refrigerator, it makes a kind of 'fruit/vitamin water'. Just don't use lemon or citrus too often as it can eat away at the enamel on your teeth (yeah, really!). Can you share below how you get water in your body so others can benefit from your ideas? Health is not as hard as you think - it's just a set of different choices, choices that create and support better internal systems; so your body is happier, healthier, more energy, and less likely to get sick. I don't know about you, but I have too much to do to be sick! I love to safeguard my health.....so, how do you get water into your body?

09.01.2022 This Week's Health Tip: Close your kitchen after 7 p.m. Your body needs a nighttime break from eating to repair metabolic functions. Skipping this fastsay, with a midnight snackcan cause a rise in inflammation, blood sugar, blood fats, and cell aging. So put a mental closed sign on your kitchen after dinner, ideally around 7 p.m. AnikaBxx

09.01.2022 This week I am immensely grateful for a newfound keto program devised by New Zealand natural therapist which takes into account a person's nutritional requirements as much as their desired fat loss. Experiencing amazing benefits, high levels of energy, deeper sleep, clarity of thought and mind, as well as weight loss. So far, 3.2kg in 8 days. I'm so grateful for this program because it is empowering me by teaching me healthy portions that still allow me to take in optimal l...evels of nutrients that my body needs to be fantastically healthy and vital. I'm so grateful not just for the benefits but also the education of this program. 2021 will be a new me!

08.01.2022 If you find you are starting to have problems with the people in your life, or that you seem to have a similar problem with random people all the time, stop and take a look at the issue. Is there a common issue in each connection? What is the common issue? Is it criticism, shame, compassion etc? Then take a look at the other common denominator........... that's you. What we see in others is ALWAYS about ourselves - we see things through our OWN lenses, not the lenses of othe...rs! What we see acts as a mirror for ourselves! Yay! So, when you have an issue with others, see if you can find where in yourself you may have the same issue - then, instead of judging it, hold back, and instead transform it into a strength. How? Ask your body. It has the answers! You can access them through a therapy called Kinesiology - which allows your body to tell you what needs to be done to help you change and move out of difficulty into strength. Discovered Kinesiology yet? AnikaB xxx

06.01.2022 Do you crave sweets? Carbs like chips? Or do you prefer things with fats, like dairy? Did you know that these can slowly deteriorate the function of your liver? The main organ which detoxifies your body and burns fat! Be sure to incorporate some of these foods into your diet, which will help support the function of the liver and help the liver heal. You can also use the fantastic Milk Thistle herb, available over the counter, which helps your liver stay clean and healthy. Be happy. Be healthy. Be informed!

06.01.2022 We all know that developing and maintaining solid personal relationships is very beneficial to your mental health. It's easy to get stuck online or at home, so I want to encourage you to make a phone call today, to someone you haven't spoken to for a while. Have a quick chat, ask 'how's life?' and listen. Perhaps see if you can meet and sit together, even half an hour, to enrich your life together. You could be helping someone enormously too.... Who can you telephone today? Who do you need, who needs you, which of your friends lifts you and vice versa? Enjoy!

04.01.2022 I'm thankful for quality time spent with my beautiful friend and Archetype Teacher Sonia Moore on the Gold Coast this week. It was beautiful to catch up and share quality time, insights and knowledge together. Thanks Sonia, I appreciate you xxx. ... The weather blessed us too! See more

03.01.2022 This year I took up yoga again, specifically Yin Yoga, thanks to Wendy Barron who is an excellent Yoga instructor. Yin Yoga is reminiscent of how I originally learned Yoga back in the 1980's, long and slow and holding positions for quite a few minutes, allowing us to arrive into the position and connect with the body. I can't tell you how Blissed out I am afterwards. I was walking as if i was in complete alignment - an absolutely tranquil sensation of peace inside and out. ... Do you do Yoga? If so, what kind do you like, or recommend?

03.01.2022 Thankful for the Bounty from my garden this week! Are you growing any food? How is your garden?

02.01.2022 FREEDOM IN ISOLATION I hope this little tip helps anyone who is looking for more freedom in their life today. I got to thinking about all the people who are in isolation or lockdown at this time and I really feel for anyone not being able to get out and about, especially be in nature. But then I remembered that we can have everything we want to enjoy, anytime! How? Well it's easy. You see, your brain does not know the difference between reality and what you are imagining.... I routinely demonstrate this to groups I talk to or teach through this simple experiment: if you are willing, close your eyes and take a few minutes to imagine yourself walking down a dark street at night, and hearing footsteps getting closer behind you, you will feel your breathing and pulse change, maybe even some adrenaline enter your system making your palms and armpits begin to moisten. So, did your body thing the imagined scene was real? Heck yeah! How amazing is that? And how important then, is it to put positive into your mind and not negative? Yeah. So instead of tuning into doom gloom and scare media, how about spending some time looking at beautiful memories in your mind-movie theatre? I know you have some beautiful ones tucked away, not seen for a while. You could also look at gorgeous pics of nature then close your eyes and imagine you are there with your 6 senses to make it AMAZING notice what see, hear, feel, taste, touch and ‘know' about the place you are in. I routinely imagine myself in my favourite place in nature and find myself smiling! That causes happy hormones endorphins, and it lifts my day. Enjoy! Love, AnikaB xxx
