What to expect in the Rays of Light newsletter?
It can be daunting to sign up for something when you're not sure what it is. To give you a better idea:
- Healthy food and eating habits: I promote a balanced, nutritient-dense diet. This includes different sources of carbohydrates, fats and protein, including animal products, such as eggs, dairy, fish and meat. However, there is "no one size fits all" and it's up to you what you adopt. When we work together, you will never be judged for your dietary choices.
- Proven methods: I don't shy away from less standard practices if there is scientific evidence to support their use, e.g. EFT (tapping), cold exposure or red light therapy. The most important factors are: Is it beneficial? Is it effective? Is it accessible? Can it be done easily?
Practical and bite-size: The Rays of Light are designed to be bite-size so that you can use them easily, one step at a time and without overwhelm.
- A Community: Facing obstacles can be hard on your own. That's why you can connect with other subscribers in our private Community group on Facebook.
- Respect for your time and inbox space: I will never spam you, ever. That's a promise. You will receive a weekly-ish email and may also occasionally get an additional email from me about special events and workshops. You can unsubscribe any time.
Anna's Rays of light have been little nuggets of food for thought for me. Some have really rung true with me whilst others have pushed me to question why I find it so difficult to praise, promote and love myself. I like that each post is short and to the point. I also like that I have been able to use them as conversation starters with friends. I hope that today's Ray about repetition will inspire me to actually 'do' THAT! Repeat and embed positive thoughts about myself and what I want to do or achieve in life 🤔🤷♀️🤞Helen
Is so easy to bogged down and overwhelmed these days but the reality is that so many of my stresses and strains are just insignificant when I really think about them and a little daily reminder of what’s truly important helps me focus and push out the negativity. Thank you Anna xAnn
I have been receiving Anna’s Ray of Lights now for several months. Each morning they pop into my inbox and give me something to think about and consider on a daily basis. I was lucky enough to recently win a competition Anna ran and won a lovely pen, a journaling book with ten top tips on journaling. I cannot recommend Ray of Light enough if you’d like a daily thought provoking prompt.Claire
The Rays of Light posts are inspiring and motivating, they encourage mindful thinking and reflection through the use of small but meaningful reflective questions. They encourage self-love and promote a supportive, calming and reassuring energy that helps ease stress or worry.The Caring Introvert
