So much has been happening at Happy and Healthy with Anna and I’m very excited to share with you my news, updates, upcoming trainings, events and collaborations. First, I want to acknowledge two recent powerful energetic phases that have been upon us. Have you felt them?
We just had the June new moon in Gemini. The New moon energy always invites us to start over, plant new seeds and welcome new beginnings. However, under this new moon there was a fogginess, a heaviness even. Perhaps like me you felt like this new moon was pulling you in different directions. There was a call to turn inward, and be extra mindful of aligning with our truth. We were guided to listen and trust our intuition. Did you feel it? Did you listen? What did you hear?
Secondly, we are currently in the great Solstice, when the Earth pauses, shifts and moves in the opposite direction. For three days around this moment we experience the power of a standstill point. Did you feel the pull to slow down? To pause? I know I did! Perhaps, like me you have been struggling to make decisions, or move forward on a certain project or goal? The two energies combined may have caused what felt like stalling, procrastination or indecision. Sound familiar?
Here in the Southern Hemisphere it is Winter Solstice. At this standstill moment darkness triumphs over light. This is natures cyclical rhythm, it is a fruitful darkness and silence out of which new seedlings grow. Yet, we humans spend so much of our time hiding from our darkness. When so called negative emotions come up, we fear them and hide from them. Perhaps the key is not to let the darkness overwhelm us, but to understand how turning toward it can be a turning point before a transformation. I used this time to reach out to one of my many Reiki peers and received a much needed online Reiki sessions. Combined with her channeling skills and Reiki I was able to turn toward my shadow self, understand it’s meaning at this time and begin to move forward once again. (Thank you Mel x).
So if you have felt like your momentum has been stalled, this is likely true. Over these coming days take a moment to pause, breathe, reflect and acknowledge that you are part of this great Earth. Trust that as your seeds lay dormant during winter, they will emerge once again with the energy of the Sun. Trust that as the new moon energy dissipates so too will your fogginess. Use these two great energies, rest here for a while, pause, confront any darkness you have been hiding from, plant the seeds of your intentions and embrace the next transformation that is upon us. Need help with any of the above? Get in touch!
WHAT’S NEW….
NEW WEEKLY YOGA NIDRA CLASSES
Every Sunday @4pm
Austinmer
This class is open to everyone (16+) no experience is needed.
Yoga nidra is EFFORTLESS. There is no movement involved. You will be lying down on your back or side (which ever serves you best) with blankets, bolsters and pillows. All you need to do is turn up, be guided by my voice and REST!
Yoga nidra, also known as yogic sleep or Non sleep deep rest (NSDR) is a powerful technique for controlling your body’s rest and digest response. Yoga nidra can be as restorative as sleep, while you remain fully conscious. Giving your mind and body an extra window, even just 10 minutes, of deep relaxation offers powerful benefits!

So excited to be collaborating with Nancie Clisby at Sublime Healing Pathways to bring this free community information evening to the Thirroul community. I am an advocate for Reiki and the benefits of a Reiki Practice for health and wellbeing. I am passionate about bringing it into the mainstream.

REIKI LEVEL ONE / REIKI SELF CARE TRAINING (IN PERSON)
26 & 27th August 2023
Thirroul - Venue TBC
Let’s call Reiki what it is - a Spiritual practice. Spiritual practice is about you, your deepest self, your wellness, your essence. In addition, Reiki practice is healing. It restores balance to your whole system.
The focus of my Reiki level one training is how to practice daily self Reiki, understanding Reiki as a Spiritual practice, and why this is important, including the science-supported benefits to your health and well-being. This is because I truly believe that when we take our own healing literally into our own hands we become empowered.
You'll learn the history, origins and the Spiritual principles of Reiki, and how to give yourself and others (friends and family) a full Reiki session. There will be plenty of time for hands on practice, discussion and questions. Plus ongoing support from me.
What could be more accessible than your own hands? You will have the ability to develop a daily Spiritual practice and immediately engage the body's rest and digest response and bring your body back to balance, where it can nourish and heal itself.
Here’s what a recent online student had to say about completing Reiki level one in May this year:
”Working with Anna on Reiki level l unlocked something in me. That's the only way I can describe it. She introduced me to a deeper understanding of reiki, it's benefits, the science, spiritual history and the physical and practical principles. I feel more aware since I completed my training. Like I'm open to more, elevated in a way. Calmer, as though everything is taken care of and I am being kinder to myself. Since the training I can see my actions and reactions more clearly. Anna has a beautifully insightful way of explaining Reiki. She is clearly passionate and knowledgeable about what she does, and has checked in on me regularly since the training and I know if I have any questions she is there to guide. I did all my sessions online and I thoroughly look forward to our distance Reiki sessions. I recommend Anna to anyone, anywhere, who is looking to take their own spiritual practice to a higher level.”
MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL IS HERE!
I am so excited to announce that my Youtube channel is up and running.
You can find FREE Yoga nidra to listen to in your own time. I will be adding regularly with new recordings so please subscribe and share with friends and family if you enjoy the practice.
