Flipping the script , talking in story, to be present in the now. This is not about becoming a certain thing. This is about accepting all the things.

In To ME YOU See
In To YOU I See.
This share is so personally driven with no real intention but accepting, letting go and letting God see the Mature, immature, shadow and light and all the things and do whatever it is the divine does with divine spark.

THE RETURN OF PERSEPHONE

This image is not about choosing light over darkness.

It is about remembering that both belong.

Carl Jung taught that archetypes live within the psyche as universal patterns and characters of the soul.

Persephone.Lilith.Sophia.

The Maiden.The Shadow.The Wise One.

Not separate beings to worship.

Living realities to encounter within ourselves.

For many years I believed healing meant becoming more light.

Now I understand healing means becoming more whole.

The Divine Mother and Divine Father are not distant figures in the sky.

They are sacred principles alive within us.

The Lunar and the Solar.

The receptive and the expressive.

The reflective and the radiant.

The Moon teaches us to descend.

The Sun teaches us to rise.

The Moon helps us listen.

The Sun helps us illuminate.

The journey is not to become half Moon and half Sun.

The journey is to discover they were never separate.

When the Lunar and Solar unite within the soul, suffering begins to transform into wisdom.

Chaos begins to transform into clarity.

Fear begins to transform into presence.

The soul remembers its original nature.

Not divided.

Not fragmented.

Not searching for its missing half.

Whole.

Radiant.

Like the Sun carrying the wisdom of the Moon.

Like the Moon reflecting the light of the Sun.

The Sacred Union.

The Hieros Gamos.

The return to what has always been.

It's time my darlings, I will guide you divinely and hold a safe container protectively xx

6th day of the 6th month at 6pm

There was a time in my life where I believed healing meant becoming “good,” “positive,” or somehow removing all darkness from within myself.

But the deeper I walked into recovery, nervous system healing, spirituality, body awareness and conscious relationship work… the more I realised something important:
What remains unseen still moves us.
The abandoned child.
The over protector.
The angry self.
The grieving self.
The numb self.
The self that learnt to survive through masking, pleasing, shutting down, avoiding or controlling.

And for years… I fell into the trap of becoming those exiled parts.
Becoming the rage.
Becoming the shutdown.
Becoming the survival response.
Becoming the wound instead of witnessing the wound.

At one point I even studied dominance training because somewhere deep inside me I believed that if I could command the darkness — then maybe my family would finally be safe.

That if I became powerful enough… nothing could hurt us again.
But survival intelligence can become its own prison when it is unconscious.
I thought shadow meant becoming consumed by it.
Now I understand shadow asks to be witnessed — not worshipped.
Now I sit differently.
Not everything hidden inside us needs exile.
Some parts simply need witnessing, safety, honesty and conscious relationship.

“Close the Gates” was born from that understanding.
Not as a glorification of darkness…
but as a conscious descent into the unseen parts of self — while keeping the pathway back to wholeness visible.
This work is deeply human to me.
It comes from lived experience.

From recovery.
From nervous system overwhelm.
From fragmentation.
From survival intelligence.
From learning how to return to my body without abandoning myself again.
And maybe that’s what healing really is sometimes:
Not becoming lighter than human…
But becoming whole enough to hold all of ourselves with awareness.
Faith louder than fear.

She Was Never Lost

She was never lost.
Only wandering through worlds
that taught her to doubt her own instincts.
The wolf within her always knew.

Knew when something was forced.
Knew when love was fragmented.
Knew when her soul was asking
for slowness instead of survival.

So she stopped chasing noise.
Stopped begging to be understood
by people disconnected from themselves.

And in the silence…
she heard her own heartbeat again.

The moon reminded her: there are seasons to becoming.
The ocean reminded her: soft things can still be powerful.
The fire reminded her: transformation is not destruction.

Now she walks differently.
Not smaller.
Not louder.
Not harder.
Just truer.

She no longer mistakes chaos for connection.
No longer abandons herself to avoid abandonment.
No longer confuses longing with destiny.

The wolf walks beside her now —
not as protection from the world,
but as remembrance.

Instinct.
Sovereignty.
Sacred return.

Because the truth is:
She was never lost.
She was becoming.

For many years my spirit animal "Menko" has handled the brunt of the walking within all the realms.
Tonight however on my Nanna birthday, laying her sandwiched between my 2 youngest daughters.
I feel the strong call, to return even deeper home then ever before..

Ancestors guide me and great spirit flow through me as wisdom is shared far and wide..

May we continue to heal from things we hardly ever speak about and may the way become clear.

The divine in me sees the divine in you, all the rest let us see straight through.

I am absolutely 💯 very secure in messy magic. Feeling content and safe right now in this moment..beautifully blessed and bold enough to believe that God is the master of the universe and with all the miracles ive ever seen or been part of the biggest one is happening right now within my beautiful vessel.

Repairing ruptures that only the divine could heal with each lock 🔒 and key 🔑 moment, I feel more and more free.

Amen and so it is x

Shout out to the ones who are genuinely living in their body, loving in their body, and healing in their body.
I had a young teen come into my office yesterday, and I heard something I hear often…
"I’m too fat."

But this time, it didn’t stop there.
It turned into a long list—different ways of saying the same thing, directed at different parts of their body.
And it really landed for me…

The story you keep telling yourself will shape your life.
Every moment, we have a choice:
Story mode… or present-moment safety.

So from my own place of practicing present-moment safety, I share my photo—because I still have those stories too. It’s not always easy.
Those whispers get loud when they’re fed by misery.
And misery, suffering, and feelings of “not enough” will recycle over and over… unless we learn how to pause.
And sometimes, pausing looks simple.
For me, it’s like putting the mind on a leash—covering it, quieting it, giving myself space.
Because the mind is a tool for the soul… not the other way around.

Mastering the mind isn’t about perfection.
It doesn’t work every time.
But it does get easier.
Inner safety begins with your inner family.
Imagine your inner mother.
Imagine your inner father.
This is how we learn to feel safe in the world.
Today’s practice is simple:

My inner father is proud of me for the actions I’m taking to choose health and long-term love—for myself and for my babies.
My inner mother reminds me that I am already okay, exactly as I am.

It’s not about what others think—we listen to others far too much.

Wounded people wound people.
People who tear others down are often speaking from their own inner world.
Truth is—we’re all healing from hard things, or simply trying to survive in a world that can feel loud and upside down.
So next time you feel the urge to attack yourself…
Pause.
And instead, team up with yourself.
Encourage yourself.
🪷✨️💫
The best of me loves the best of you.
All the rest, I can see right through.
Trust in me and I’ll trust in you,
Because the best of me loves the best of you.

Is lyrics from a song and this this this. When we the divine in each other, we can see through the rest.

When your shadow is fully loved by your consciousness…
the dance becomes wild in the most beautiful way.
We are co-creators.

So ask yourself:

What are you creating?
Who is watching you?
What are you role-modelling?

I love seeing women fully expressed—
covered up or barely dressed, it doesn’t matter.
What matters is that we are part of a generation that can return within…
and soothe the part of ourselves that learned to tear our bodies apart just to feel worthy.

Breathe, darlings. Everyone is worthy. Everyone.

And as I say—
If I’m not your cup of tea, I’ll be someone else’s tequila shot.

Don’t shrink to fit someone else’s idea of you.
Because our children are watching.
And it starts with what they see.
So let me ask you…
When you look at this photo…

Do you call me fat—even under your breath?
Do you judge me?
Do you think I should hide myself?
Do you assume I’m asking for attention?

If any part of you says yes—gently, that’s your invitation inward.
That’s where your work is.
Because:

You can’t lose what is already yours.
You can’t take what was not available to be taken.
And you can’t wreck what was already broken.

You are given many things in life…

But your inner compass? That is yours. How God speaks within.
Your sacred yes is yours.
Your sacred no is yours.
We are all just walking each other home. ✨

Many blessings,
Renee x

ANAYA — Stone Temple Guide

A return to the body. A return to self. A return to the steady flame within.
I walk alongside those who are ready to come back to themselves.

With over 7 years of lived and professional experience in recovery, trauma-informed counselling,
somatic practice, and spiritual integration. As well as 12 years of Reiki and compeltmentary tharapies being offered.
I offer steady, structured support for those navigating deep personal transformation.

This work is not about fixing or saving.
It is about restoring safety, building inner stability, and learning to hold your own experience with
strength and care.

The Work

Build safety, restore steadiness, work through patterns, reconnect to purpose.
Embodied Self-Relationship & the Sacred Flame

A core part of this work is supporting a deeper, more intimate connection with your body and inner world.

Together, we explore:

• Building safety within the body
• Awareness of sensations and emotions
• Repairing the relationship with self
• Cultivating trust and inner connection
Alongside this is a reconnection to the inner flame — a steady, living presence that guides and
restores.

3-Month Containers

Structured support using Anchor • Restore • Connect

Available online and in-person.

Outcomes

Support includes moving out of isolation, rebuilding life, and developing a stable sense of self.
A Different Approach to walking this life.

This is guided restoration work — grounded, relational, and real.

I walk alongside you.

💫💫💫💫

My favourite part of this entire birthing of this offering is that it's been in gestation since the start of 2024 when I started becoming completely obsessed with the Sun..then AnayA became (mixture of what lots of people call me Nay and AA - 12 steps to progress 💙...but if you go Google the meanings are epic.

I am a huge advocate for Narrative therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy especially....

If you are an avid archetypal person like me, some have referenced that because i have autism, but either way..its mystical and relating. This is not escapism work,, this is more - if you could go to the edge of your comfort zone - what would it take to take that leap of faith ?

Hmm maybe you may enjoy this pathway. Not only is it a possible pathway to True Self Liberation, the wisdom found when you trade wounds is a beautiful bonus!

I AM still Renee - she is who my mother named me, she has seen many sunrises and sunsets..however in the Stone Temple - with Soul work - I choose to honour AnayA which is an evolutionary part of my path.

To all those who have ever had me supporting their moving forward journeys, it is time to return those testimonials please - inbox or in-person i would be grateful.

I said Yes recently on a phone call and I had no information, apart from I trusted my soul to know the science behind sacred heart work communication..and I truly feel safe with moving forward and since then I've been aligning and getting sign after sign to continue.

May Holy Spirit burn brightly in this eternal moment 🙏

I remember 💫😊😍

If you can steward, contain, and regulate your sovereign energy, especially if you are working on the frontline supporting others and bringing light into the collective, this may be for you.
Soon I will be opening applications to work with me personally, 1:1.

Many people already know the Bonfire Intensive Programs I offer.
These draw from earth-based wisdom and nervous system restoration, where we focus on grounding, safety, and reconnection through the ARC framework:
Anchor • Restore • Connect
The Bonfire work returns us to the body and to the Earth—restoring steadiness and helping the nervous system settle.
From that place of grounding, deeper work can begin.

This next phase is what I call Temple Work.
Where Bonfire brings us back to the earth,
the Stone Temple represents the union of spirit and matter—bringing light into form and learning to live that alignment in everyday life.
Temple Work is not for the faint-hearted.
When you consciously begin directing the flame within, the burn is real.
Transformation asks for honesty, humility, and courage.
But true sovereignty is not about overpowering others.
It is about learning to hold responsibility for the energy we carry, and walking with integrity as we grow.

✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️
We do not destroy crowns.
We learn to adjust our own.
✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

For those who feel called, I will be opening sacred three-month journeys, where we work closely together for deep restoration, integration, and direction.
Applications will open soon.

Come to our peaceful gathering.

Peace is our posture.

🌈 1PM | Palace Arcade | Heartstone Sanctuary



Across cultures, there are stories of restoration during times of chaos.
In Lakota tradition, a sacred woman restored covenant and prayer when people had lost their way.
In Indigenous prophecy, there are teachings of rainbow people rising to protect the earth in destructive times.
I also recognise that throughout history, people have longed for unity, peace, and right relationship.
Monday Mindfulness is not about replacing faith.
It is about restoring peace.
Peace. Unity. Hope. Respect.

A Peace Warrior:
Protects without aggression.
Stands steady in chaos.
Refuses division.
Seeks reconciliation.
Lives in covenant with Creator.
Honors diversity without abandoning conviction.

A PLACE OF UNITY WHERE WE CHOOSE PEACE OVER PERSONALITIES.

(If we have ever had conflict, now is the time to see the smoke signal. My door is always open - as the sun will rise - so shall we..)

Disclaimer :

i follow Christ, knowing that Great Spirit and our ancestors are all here supporting us as we guide each other home.
This circle welcomes all who seek peace.
Unity does not require uniformity.

See you there 🙌✨️❤️‍🔥🕊
First gathering is on the 9th of March 😊
