By Anelly Aya Anelly Aya

The Summer Solstice, occurring around June 21st in the Northern Hemisphere, marks the longest day and shortest night of the year—a radiant turning point where the sun reaches its highest peak in the sky. Beyond its astronomical significance, this moment carries profound spiritual energy, inviting us to reconnect deeply with the light, warmth, and power of the cosmos within and around us. The Solar Beacon of Illumination and Growth The sun, ancient symbol of life, vitality, and divine fire, shines at its fullest during the Summer Solstice. This luminous zenith encourages us to embrace the fullness of our own inner light. Spiritually, it is a time to awaken dormant potentials, to bask in the radiance of self-awareness, and to ignite the creative fires that fuel our soul’s purpose. The intensity of solar energy during this time is like a cosmic invitation: to step out of shadows, to honor the gifts we have cultivated, and to nurture the seeds of intention we planted earlier in the year...

Embracing Humility - A Reflection on Self-Centering and the Symbolism of Snow White's Mirror

By Anelly Aya Anelly Aya

 

In the enchanting world of fairy tales, symbols often hold profound insights into the human psyche. One such symbol is the mirror in the timeless tale of Snow White, where the question echoes, "Mirror, Mirror, who is the most beautiful in the world?" Beyond the surface, this mirror serves as a captivating metaphor for the delicate balance between humility, self-focus, and the pitfalls of ego.

Ego Interpretation: Feeding the Ego and Narcissism

On one level, the mirror can be seen as a tool that feeds the ego, fostering a sense of narcissism. In this interpretation, the individual constantly seeks external validation, measuring their worth by the reflections of others. The trap lies in the illusion that true confidence can only be built upon the mirroring and approval received from others.

Ego Interpretation: The Snare of Dependency

Another facet of the ego interpretation emphasizes the need for external validation to establish one's value and confidence. However, this reliance on the mirroring effect becomes a snare, leading to dependence on external approval. The fear of loneliness, obsession with others' perceptions, and the imperative desire for relationships emerge as consequences of this dependency on the mirror.

Spiritual Interpretation: The Beauty of Truth and Self-Reflection

In contrast to the ego-centric interpretations, a spiritual perspective reveals a profound truth in the symbolism of the mirror. It suggests that true beauty and value lie in authenticity and self-awareness. The one who is genuinely beautiful does not need a mirror because they are the mirror itself.

This spiritual interpretation invites us to explore the idea that genuine beauty and self-worth emanate from within. It encourages a shift from the external validation sought in the mirror to an internal acknowledgment of one's true essence. By being true to oneself, an individual becomes the mirror reflecting authenticity, integrity, and inner beauty.

Embracing Humility: Finding Balance

The symbolism of Snow White's mirror serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of striking a balance between self-awareness and humility. While seeking feedback and external perspectives can be valuable, it should not become a crutch for building one's confidence. True self-worth blossoms from within, independent of external validations.

In conclusion, the fairy tale's mirror symbolizes a profound journey from ego-driven interpretations to a spiritual understanding of self-value. Embracing humility involves recognizing the beauty of authenticity, where one becomes the mirror rather than being trapped by it. In the quest for self-discovery, let us navigate the delicate dance between self-focus and humility, transcending the illusions of ego to find true inner beauty.

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...

The Walnut of the Soul — The Path from Pampering to the Divine Table

By Anelly Aya Anelly Aya

  There are souls that life seems to pamper. Not because it loves them more, but because it is preparing them. They are like little walnuts at the top of the tree – ripening in the sun, nourished by the sap of the world, by prosperity, by the gentle care of the visible. On the surface, it seems they live with ease – they receive without struggle. Society supports them, the system waters them. But this is a seeming privilege. The truth is, these souls are in a phase of preparation – ripening for a deeper calling. Because at some point, every walnut is plucked. Then the real journey begins – not outward, but inward. The soul detaches from the illusions of social order and starts to lose its appetite for old pleasures. It feels out of place, without purpose. This is not confusion, but a drying out. Its outer shell – the protection, the labels, the social clothes – begins to fall away. The soul starts to stand bare before itself. Next comes the cracking. The ego-shattering process. ...

Birth as a Prototype of Anxiety - Karma, Spiritual Paths, and Psychoanalytic Theories

By Anelly Aya Anelly Aya
  The birth of every individual is one of the deepest and most important moments in human life. It is an act that not only physically creates a new being, but also carries significant psychological and spiritual consequences. Birth is like the beginning of a journey filled with inner conflicts and opportunities for growth, and the way it unfolds can have a profound impact on a person’s life. According to various theories—from psychoanalysis to spiritual teachings such as Christianity and karmic doctrines—birth can be viewed as a prototype of later anxieties and fears in life. Birth and Perinatal Matrices The concept of perinatal matrices, introduced by psychoanalysis, sees birth as a process that not only initiates a person's life but also shapes their mental world and capacity to adapt to the world. Depending on how the birth occurs—whether it is easy or difficult, traumatic or not—the individual begins life with certain psycho-emotional imprints that will accompany them through...
