Well you CAN find peace. It’s just that you’re not going to find it in the mind! The nature of the mind is to be tense, analytical and worried about the past and the future.
However, it IS possible to get past the mind into a peaceful, open experience, no matter what is happening in your life.
Mindfulness allows us to observe thoughts, rather than get caught up in their stories. Heartfulness allows us to move through our feelings and out the other side, rather than get stuck in an ongoing negative state.
There are many times in life where we can’t control what is happening around us. When things don’t work out as we’d like. When things even get really tough. However, getting stressed about it is actually optional. We can ALWAYS choose a way that we respond to these situations, thought by thought, emotion by emotion which allows us to find inner freedom no matter what’s happening.
By focusing on the inside, rather than just the outside, we come back to where our experience of life is actually happening- right inside our mind and our body. After all it can’t actually happen anywhere else! You hear through your ears, see through your eyes and feel through your body. Not anywhere else. It is ALL inside you!
ABOUT ANNIE
It wasn’t until Annie was 18 that she first heard someone make an off-hand comment about their plans to be permanently happy. It had never occurred to her that she was supposed to be happy. Based on those she saw around her, Annie had thought that life was to be put up with at best and suffered through at worst.
Yet after completing a traditional English education Annie still wasn’t any closer to finding that elusive happiness, so she yearned to travel and explore her inner and outer world.
However, at 21 with passport and tickets in hand, Annie became very ill after being acutely affected by her travel inoculations and instead of travelling the globe with her friends, she spent two years in bed.
“Annie has a profound spiritual depth that allows her to navigate any issue with timeless wisdom usually only found in ancient temples on high mountains! The Voice Dialogue process looks deceptively simple, but within a few weeks I began to experience lightness towards life that I hadn’t felt in decades”.
“Working with Annie enabled me to move forward in my life in ways I couldn’t have dreamed possible. I had felt completely stuck, Each session we covered something different always moving forward in a positive direction. Annie guided me through the process giving me tips and tools to work on at each stage on my own. I was completely supported by her throughout, I laughed as much as I cried but piece by piece I discovered who “I am”. I am able to accept situations as they are, now, and have completed the studies I had started but not finished. Annie changed my life, she helped me to see that I can be, do, have everything I put my mind to. I am eternally grateful to her. Thank you Annie.”
Annie’s coaching gets to the core of what is happening on the deepest levels and I found an amazing shift in what was not working in my life. So much has moved for me that every area of my life, I feel confident, relaxed and clear in my mind.
I had the privilege of working with Annie Stoker through her coaching program. I went in thinking I was uncovering road blocks to getting up on stage and being a professional speaker, but in the process discovered these were the road blocks that were impacting upon my business and life. Annie is a gifted and caring therapist who definitely tells you what you need to hear. She introduced me to a fantastic tool called Voice Dialogue and some pesky sub personalities that like to run our lives without our conscious awareness. Annie has helped me tune in to the advice of these helpful little guides, rather than letting them continue to run my life on auto pilot. Gaining awareness of my ‘pleaser’ and ‘perfectionist’ sub personalities (just to name a few) has been liberating. I really can’t thank you enough!
I am just happy all the time now…very bizarre..and Thank you!!
Annie Stoker was like an elegant laser guiding me to access my inner wisdom as I progressed through an ultimately very positive divorce. I’d recommend her for some coaching to help you access your truth x
