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...

Understanding and Healing Attention Deficit Disorder - Insights from Gabor Maté's 'Scattered Minds

By Anelly Aya Anelly Aya

 Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) is a topic that has garnered significant attention in recent years. Often seen as a behavioral issue, it is essential to explore the underlying causes and potential for healing. Gabor Maté's book, "Scattered Minds: The Origins and Healing of Attention Deficit Disorder," offers valuable insights into this complex condition. In this blog post, we'll delve into the key ideas presented by Maté and how they can reshape our understanding and approach to ADD.

The Holistic Approach to ADD

Maté's central argument is that ADD is not just a mere behavioral problem, but rather a condition deeply rooted in genetics, early experiences, and environmental factors. This holistic perspective challenges the traditional medical approach, which often focuses on managing symptoms with medication. By understanding the emotional and psychological factors contributing to ADD, Maté suggests that individuals can find more effective and lasting ways to cope and even thrive.

The Role of Early Experiences

Maté emphasizes the importance of early childhood experiences in the development of ADD. He suggests that adverse experiences, such as traumatic events or an emotionally distant family environment, can contribute to the development of ADD symptoms. These experiences can wire a person's brain to be more prone to distractibility, impulsivity, and difficulties with concentration. Recognizing and addressing these early experiences is a crucial step towards healing.

The Necessity of Compassion and Support

A central theme of Maté's work is the significance of a compassionate and understanding environment for individuals with ADD. Instead of labeling them as "troublemakers" or "lazy," it is essential to provide support and acceptance. A nurturing and non-judgmental environment can make a significant difference in the lives of those with ADD, helping them build self-esteem and resilience.

The Potential for Personal Growth

While living with ADD presents unique challenges, Maté's book highlights the potential for personal growth and self-acceptance. By understanding the underlying causes and addressing them, individuals can develop coping strategies, resilience, and a stronger sense of self. The focus shifts from trying to fit into a mold to embracing one's uniqueness.

Challenging Stigmatization

Maté's work challenges the stigmatization often associated with ADD. It reframes the condition as a complex interplay of factors rather than a character flaw. This shift in perspective can lead to greater empathy and understanding in society, ultimately helping those with ADD lead more fulfilling lives.

Conclusion

Gabor Maté's "Scattered Minds: The Origins and Healing of Attention Deficit Disorder" provides a fresh and holistic perspective on ADD. By acknowledging the role of genetics, early experiences, and environmental factors, Maté encourages a more compassionate approach to understanding and healing ADD. This approach emphasizes the importance of support, self-acceptance, and personal growth for individuals living with this condition. Ultimately, it challenges the stigmatization and paves the way for a more empathetic society where those with ADD can thrive.

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...
