As I was writing the caption for my IG post from earlier today it hit me that these two words are only ONE LETTER OFF… which I thought was pretty wild. There are no coincidences!Not long after I first launched B/B, I shared with you that I took antidepressants for anxiety, OCD, and depression (blog post linked in story & a lil flashback to when I was engaged… life is a journey!). I stand by what I said then, antidepressants were incredibly beneficial for me at the time and I’m grateful for what they gave me. That being said, I’ve evolved and pharmaceutical drugs are no longer aligned with who I am in this present moment (that includes birth control!), and it’s so important to me to be transparent with all of you.At this point in my journey, I’m much less interested in minimizing symptoms and much more interested in healing the root cause. I’ve found that for me personally, plant-based foods, natural supplements & herbs, natural healing, earthing, positive thinking, shadow work, mindfulness, & meditation, are just as powerful… actually way MORE powerful… than medication. (If this is a new concept for you, I encourage you to start by watching the documentary “Heal” on Netflix!) When it comes to healing, THERE IS NO MAGIC PILL. Healing starts on the inside. It starts with inner work (emotional and spiritual healing). It starts with what you put it in your body and how you move your body and how you talk to your body. Please know that I say all of this with zero judgment and only with love in hopes that it might help one of you to heal yourself!Meditation has been a fundamental part of my own self healing. It’s allowed me to silence my mind so I can listen to my body and hear what it really needs. Where are you in your self healing journey? Let me know how I can best support you! ✨💛💫 Anna
Hi my sweets! Flexing my female and letting you bbs know that yesterday I officially completed my Reiki 1 certification. I’m practicing Reiki daily on myself, family, and friends, as I work toward becoming a Reiki Master and incorporating this beautiful work into my coaching practices.One of the beautiful benefits of learning this practice is that I see more clearly than ever that WE TRULY ARE OUR OWN BEST HEALERS. Hear me when I say that YOU have the power to heal your own body, mind, and spirit!For those who aren’t familiar, Reiki is a powerful Japanese energy healing technique that promotes stress-reduction, relaxation, detoxification, pain management, mental clarity, well-being, spiritual expansion, and more. Through the practice of intuitively “laying on hands,” Reiki works on your biofield, the energy field that regulates everything from your cellular function to your nervous system.In Western society we’ve forgotten that our bodies have their own innate ability to heal. So rather than trusting our body’s inner wisdom, we seek outside sources like doctors and medication. While those do have their place, they tend to just put a bandaid on the problem rather than getting to the root of it. I invite you to commit to the process of remembering how to listen to and nurture your body through self care and intuition. Every dis-ease is due to an imbalance of some sort. Too much sitting, not enough moving. Too much food, not enough nutrients. Too much resentment, not enough peace. Too much stress, not enough rest. Do any of these sounds like you?Even without Reiki training, I believe the 5 Reiki principles can benefit ANYONE because they invite you into a higher state of being. We now know that negative thoughts create negative physical manifestations. In the morning, say the 5 Reiki Principles out loud to yourself (see story) as you commit, just for today, to let negative thoughts go. Play around with this today and let me know what you notice! ✨💛💫 Anna
Western society teaches us that our intuition isn’t valuable. That acting on it is a “rash decision” or overly emotional. So we learned to ignore our intuition. To “logically override” it with the facts and information and knowledge acquired by our brain. 🧠 Don’t get me wrong, the brain is rad. It’s built for processing and storing all that knowledge and information you’re furiously taking in. But the brain isn’t well-equipped for integrating your passion, love, excitement, emotions, and intuition into the equation. Basically, the brain doesn’t have all the context and doesn’t always know what it’s talking about. It’s good at organizing and evaluating knowledge, but it’s not good for deciding (knowing). That’s the heart’s job. ❤️ New research has proven that the heart contains 40,000 neurons (the same “brain cells” that process information in the brain!) If you’re anything like me, you’ve always known the heart has a “mind” of its own. Now it’s a proven FACT! 🤓 So how do you know if it’s your mind or your heart talking? How do you know if what’s coming up for you is KNOWLEDGE or KNOWING? “Knowing” is your intuition. It’s your heart speaking. When your heart speaks, it speaks succinctly, quickly, and directly (usually just a word or phrase). Its message never waivers.The brain on the other hand LOVES arguing both sides. It’s obsessed with pros+cons lists. It loves to tell long winding stories dating back to childhood trauma. It’s motivated by fear and keeping you safe (helping you SURVIVE, but not THRIVE). Here’s an example. Last year, I had an internal knowing to call off my wedding. But my brain had a mile-long list of reasons not to. It was a total mindfuck. I ultimately listened to my internal KNOWING and it was the best decision I ever made. Let your heart decide.To tap into your internal knowing, ask yourself the question you’re wrestling with before going into meditation (meditation stills the mind, which is the best way to hear the heart speak!) KNOW that the answer will come to you, and when it does, do not question it. Play around with this and let me know how it goes! As always, I’m here to support you in any way. ✨💛💫 Anna
REALITY CHECK: ARE YOU AS “SPIRITUAL” AS YOU THINK?I’ve found that the vast majority of ppl engaged in spiritual practices (like yoga and meditation) are just going through the motions. They feel like they “have” to meditate so they forcefully squeeze it in (if at all) in order to check the box… so they can say they did it or so they can post about it on insta. Are you one of them?I never used to stick to my spiritual practices, bc frankly, I wasn’t getting much out of them. Now it’s painfully obvious to me why that was. I was just DOING them… rather than BEING them.You can’t “check the box” with spiritual practices bc THERE IS NO END DESTINATION. If you think there is, you’ve missed the point. The need to “complete” the practice is just part of the ego construct. Spirituality is about BEING, not doing.Learning how to BE has changed my life. I can BE STILL and I can BE BREATH and I can BE MOVEMENT and I can BE ME.Are you BEING your spiritual practices, or are you just DOING them? When you become a human being vs. a human doing, your life will begin to shift dramatically.I invite you to take 5min to yourself right now, close your eyes, breathe, and just BE. Try it and let me know how it goes! ✨💛💫 Anna
This morning I am just bursting at the seams with gratitude.When I worked at Google, everyone thought I was “living the dream,” but I was miserable. I was joyless. I was unfulfilled, not following my passion or sharing my unique gifts with the world. So I overcompensated with destructive behavior like partying too hard and jumping into relationships. I was depressed, overweight, and overworked. The golden handcuffs (my salary and the prestige) kept me at my desk every day, but all that juicy income meant nothing bc I wasn’t actually LIVING.Today, I get to wake up and do what I love. And doing what I love means I get to share my unique gifts with the world. And I help ppl. And it makes me money AND gives me flexibility. And I’m surrounded by incredible ppl. And they’re forming community with one another… I MEAN. PINCH. ME.Every day I’m flooded with DMs that (this is tough love) read to me like complaints: “I hate my job.” “My bf isn’t loving me how I want to be loved.” “I’m unfulfilled.” “I don’t have a passion.” “I’m bored.” “I’m stuck,” etc. etc. Those complaints are followed by excuses: “I don’t have the money.” “I don’t have the time.” “I have the worst luck ever.” Essentially, the sender is letting herself off the hook from making a big change and doing something BIG.Have you ever sent me a message like that? Or maybe just said it quietly to yourself?If you feel stuck like I did, the good news is: YOU’RE NOT ACTUALLY STUCK. U CAN MAKE A CHANGE WHENEVER YOU WANT. I know it feels like you can’t but you CAN. HEAR ME. All you have to do is decide. The hardest part is deciding, but once you do, it is ON. I’m living proof that when you follow your heart and dreams, the entire universe conspires to help you make it happen!!!! Did this trigger you? What emotions came up? Pay attention to that. I’m here to support you ✨💛💫 Anna
