The Impasse - A Diary of Scarcity and Soul

By Anelly Aya Anelly Aya
  December 10th. Or perhaps it is the 11th. Time has lost its linear rhythm since the days merged into one long, gray anticipation. The light today falls obliquely through the window, illuminating the dust motes that dance in the silence—the only motion in this room, which is simultaneously a sanctuary and a prison. I write this not to complain, but to comprehend. To map this desert we find ourselves in. The words we hear every day – impasse, inflation, unemployment, poverty, low standard, scarcity, deprivation, loneliness – sound like dry, technical terms in the news, but here, in my inner world, they have flesh, they have the weight of a stone laid upon the chest at night. I sit opposite myself in this twilight of the spirit. What we call a "crisis" is, in fact, a deep, unsettling psychoanalytic pause imposed upon us by reality; the moment when the external supports of the ego – career, financial security, social status – crumble to reveal the fragile construction beneath...

Simplicity and spirituality

By Anelly Aya Anelly Aya

 In today's #fastpaced, consumer-driven world, #simplicity is often seen as a luxury or an afterthought. We are bombarded with messages telling us that we need to buy more, do more, and be more in order to be happy and successful. But the truth is, this constant striving for more can leave us feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and disconnected from our deepest selves and our spiritual lives.

In contrast, the practice of simplicity invites us to #slowdown, simplify our lives, and focus on what truly matters. This might mean decluttering our homes and our schedules, practicing mindful consumption, or intentionally cultivating #gratitude and #contentment in the present moment. By #simplifying our lives, we can create the space we need to connect with our spiritual selves, cultivate a deeper sense of #meaning and purpose, and live more #fulfilling lives.

So what is the connection between simplicity and #spirituality? At its core, simplicity is about stripping away the excess and focusing on what truly matters. In doing so, we can cultivate a deeper connection with ourselves, others, and the natural world around us. We can also develop a greater sense of appreciation and gratitude for the simple pleasures of life, which can bring us closer to the divine and to our own spiritual nature.

One way that simplicity can enhance our spiritual lives is by creating space for contemplation and reflection. When we simplify our lives, we free up time and mental energy that can be directed towards spiritual practice, such as prayer, meditation, or journaling. By intentionally setting aside time for these practices, we can deepen our connection with the divine and gain greater insight into our own lives and purpose.

Simplicity can also enhance our spiritual lives by helping us cultivate a greater sense of mindfulness and presence in the moment. When we're constantly chasing after the next thing, we can easily lose sight of the beauty and sacredness of the present moment. By practicing simplicity and slowing down, we can cultivate a greater sense of awareness and appreciation for the small, everyday moments that make life so rich and fulfilling.

Another way that simplicity can enhance our spiritual lives is by helping us cultivate deeper relationships with others. When we focus on what truly matters and strip away the excess, we can create more time and space for meaningful connections with the people who matter most to us. Whether it's through spending quality time with loved ones, volunteering in our communities, or simply practicing kindness and compassion towards others, simplicity can help us cultivate deeper and more meaningful relationships that enrich our spiritual lives.

Ultimately, the connection between simplicity and spirituality lies in their shared focus on what truly matters. Whether we're simplifying our physical possessions, our schedules, or our relationships, we're making space for the things that truly bring us joy, fulfillment, and a sense of connection to something greater than ourselves. By embracing simplicity and focusing on what truly matters, we can cultivate a deeper connection with ourselves, others, and the divine, and live more fulfilling, joyful, and spiritually rich lives.

In conclusion, the connection between simplicity and spirituality is a powerful one that has the potential to transform our lives in profound ways. By intentionally simplifying our lives, we can create space for spiritual practice, cultivate greater mindfulness and presence in the moment, and deepen our relationships with others. Whether we're seeking to connect with our spiritual selves, live more meaningful lives, or simply find greater joy and contentment in the present moment, embracing the practice of simplicity is a powerful step on the journey towards greater spiritual growth and fulfillment.

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...

Herbs for Baby - Natural Care and Gentle Support

By Anelly Aya Anelly Aya
When it comes to protecting and strengthening your baby’s health, many parents are turning to homeopathy — a gentle, natural form of medicine that supports the body’s ability to heal itself. Our book “Homeopathy for Babies: A Practical Guide for Parents and Professionals” explores how this approach can help infants navigate health issues safely and effectively. Why Homeopathy? Homeopathy is based on the principle of “like cures like”— a tiny amount of a natural substance, which in large amounts would cause symptoms, can help ease those same symptoms when properly prepared. Homeopathic medicines are highly dilute, making them non-toxic and free from side effects, which makes them a popular choice for delicate infants. What Conditions Could Benefit? The book covers a range of health issues that frequently affect infants and young children. Some of these include: Colic and Digestive Discomfort: Homeopathy can ease symptoms of colic, constipation, and reflux by addressing the root ...

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...
