Dreams That Aren’t Mine

By Anelly Aya Anelly Aya
  Ever since I was little, I’ve heard stories—of great successes, of glorious victories, of bright worlds waiting to be conquered. I was raised with the idea that dreams are our guiding light, that they are the engine of life, that we move forward through them. But over time, I began to feel that some of those dreams weren’t mine. They seemed to belong to someone else, to an image built from the expectations of others—of society, of family. They were foreign to my heart, yet I carried them like armor that protected me but also weighed me down and held me back. This was one of the most painful truths I had to accept—that many of the dreams I had chased weren’t born of my soul. They were someone else’s dreams, imposed by the outer world, by voices I heard before I had the chance to hear my own. At first, it was hard to admit this. We all want to be loved and accepted, and often we’re willing to sacrifice our own desires just to be approved. My life felt like a journey guided by map...

Holistic health

By Anelly Aya Anelly Aya

 #Holistichealth is a #philosophy that emphasizes the #interconnectedness of the body, mind, and #spirit. In recent years, the field of #psychotherapy has increasingly embraced this #holisticapproach, recognizing that a person's emotional and #spiritual well-being are just as important as their physical #health.

At its core, holistic health is about treating the whole person rather than just addressing their symptoms. This means that a holistic approach to psychotherapy takes into account not only a person's #mentalhealth but also their #physicalhealth, social support system, and #spiritualbeliefs.

#Spirituality is an essential component of holistic health, and it can play a significant role in a person's emotional #wellbeing. In fact, research has shown that spiritual practices such as #prayer and #meditation can have a #positive impact on mental health, #reducingstress and #anxiety and promoting a sense of #calm and #innerpeace.

In the context of psychotherapy, spirituality can be a powerful tool for #healing and growth. Many therapists incorporate spiritual practices into their work, encouraging their clients to explore their spiritual beliefs and practices as part of the #therapeuticprocess.

One common spiritual practice that is often used in psychotherapy is mindfulness meditation. Mindfulness is the practice of being present in the moment, fully aware of one's thoughts, feelings, and surroundings without judgment. Mindfulness meditation can help individuals become more aware of their emotions, learn to regulate their responses to stress, and cultivate a sense of #innerpeace and #tranquility.

Another spiritual practice that is often used in psychotherapy is #visualization. Visualization involves creating a mental image of a desired outcome or goal. This technique can be helpful for individuals who struggle with anxiety or #depression, as it allows them to imagine a positive future and work towards it.

Spiritual practices can also help individuals develop a sense of purpose and meaning in life, which can be particularly helpful for those struggling with existential issues or a sense of emptiness. Through exploring their spiritual beliefs and practices, individuals can gain a greater understanding of their place in the world and develop a sense of connection to something larger than themselves.

Of course, spirituality means different things to different people, and it is important for therapists to approach the topic with #sensitivity and #respect. Some individuals may not identify with any particular spiritual tradition, while others may have deeply held religious beliefs. It is important for #therapists to understand and honor each individual's unique #spiritualjourney.

Incorporating spirituality into psychotherapy is not about promoting any particular religion or belief system. Rather, it is about recognizing the importance of the #spiritualdimension of human experience and using it as a tool for #healing and growth.

In addition to incorporating spiritual practices into psychotherapy, therapists can also encourage their clients to engage in other holistic health practices, such as exercise, #healthyeating, and social support. These practices can have a significant impact on mental health, helping individuals feel more energized, focused, and connected to others.

When it comes to #holistic health, it is important to remember that everyone's journey is unique. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to #wellness, and what works for one person may not work for another. It is up to each individual to explore what practices and techniques resonate with them and incorporate them into their own lives.

At the same time, it is important to approach holistic health with an open mind and a #willingness to try new things. Sometimes, the practices that seem the most unfamiliar or challenging can be the ones that have the most profound impact.

Are You Ready?

By Anelly Aya Anelly Aya

   Are You Ready? To receive abundance, love, and your own greatness? I sit in the stillness of the morning. I feel something rising from within—like a tide I cannot stop. A thought, a feeling, a realization. I hear it again and again: “Are you ready?” This question doesn’t come from the outside. It is born from the depths of the soul—that quiet yet powerful part of us that knows far more than the mind. Am I ready for the abundance that is already approaching? Am I ready for True Love , the one I’ve long prayed for and yearned for? Am I ready to receive that which I’ve asked for... even when it comes in a way I never expected? Receiving is also a choice Many people believe the spiritual path is only about giving up—desires, attachments, the material world. But there is another phase—perhaps even harder: Being ready to receive. To allow abundance into your life, without sabotaging it. To accept love, without hiding behind the fear of getting hurt. To live joyfully...

The Gardener’s Lesson - The Power of Slow, Steady Dedication and Patience

By Anelly Aya Anelly Aya
 In life, we often seek quick results, immediate successes, and visible changes. But true magic, real achievement comes from another quality — patience and the persistence of the gardener. The gardener is a teacher who shows us the lesson of slow and systematic dedication — of committing to a cause with daily work, love, and care. He knows that not every seed sown will sprout immediately, that growth is a process requiring time and attention. This lesson is about that perseverance which remains invisible at first but forms the foundation of every true accomplishment. It is a lesson about overcoming the "lack of immediate effect" — when there is no result, but despite that, a person continues doing what they feel is their calling, their gift. Because a true calling is not measured by the speed of success but by the depth of dedication. The world around us often emits confusion, fear, uncertainty that can distract us from our path. But the gardener is not influenced by the m...

Don't Pull the Flower to Make It Grow Faster: Bulgaria and the Path to the Eurozone

By Anelly Aya Anelly Aya

There are processes that cannot be forced. Processes that cannot be accelerated without serious consequences. One of them is natural growth — whether it be of a person, a people, or a nation. When we pull the flower to make it grow faster, we don’t help it develop — we tear it. The same is happening today with Bulgaria and the issue of entering the Eurozone. When There’s No Time to Mature Every society has its own rhythm of maturity — economic, social, cultural. And Bulgaria is in a phase where it needs awareness, dialogue, and public participation in deciding on such a profound change as losing its national currency. But instead — we are being pressured. Politicians and institutions are racing to present “readiness” to European commissions, even when that readiness isn’t real. Reports are manipulated, numbers are dressed up, and the voice of the people is silenced. The fear of a referendum says it all: not because they don’t know what we’ll say — but because they know exactly what...
