The Womb of the World

By Anelly Aya Anelly Aya
  The Womb of the World The Earth as the great maternal vessel where souls gestate in matter There are mornings when I wake and feel the pulse of the Earth through the soles of my feet — slow, ancient, wordless. It is not merely ground beneath me; it is a breathing body , and somewhere deep inside, I sense that I am being carried still, cradled within a vast, living womb . The soil, the rivers, the air — all of it feels maternal, as though existence itself has drawn me into its warm interior, asking me to grow in silence, to mature in shadow, to prepare for a birth that is yet to come. Sometimes I wonder if we ever truly leave the womb. Perhaps birth is not an exit but a deepening, a descent into layers of form. The body is another chamber , another membrane of mystery through which consciousness must pass to learn what it means to be both finite and infinite. The world — this dense, fragrant, trembling organism we call Earth — might be the first and last mother, the one who re...

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.

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 ...

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...

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...
