Wellbeing With Anyeska

10/11/2025

A few weeks ago, I had a routine annual optometrist appointment like we all do (or well, most of us).

Something that the optometrist (whom I have never seen before - my normal optometrist was out sick and so they moved me across to another optometrist) said to me has been playing on my mind, and making me laugh at random times.

As I wear contacts, she asked if I wear them when swimming, or showering. I do, to which she responded that it was dangerous to do so, as 'things get trapped under contacts'.
I asked if she meant it was 'dangerous' for me to open my eyes underwater, to which she said no, just wearing them when your head is under water is dangerous.

Now I am 100% all for learning from others, knowing that there are people far more qualified in specialist fields than I am.

However, our bodies were divinely created, and have been submerged in water since human existed. If doing so with contacts in is such a great risk, that is telling me that either:
a) contacts are hugely toxic and would present problems to every person every time they wear them, regardless of being under water or not
b) there is something unbalanced within that specific human being's body that is causing a temporary area of weakness.

The human body is utterly amazing. Its sole purpose is to provide your soul with a safe physical place to reside during this life time.
Our bodies are hugely capable of so much more than we often give them credit for (if you are after a good book on how we as a society prioritise comfort and convenience over capabilities, Comfort Crisis by Michael Ester is a great read/listen https://amzn.to/4o68sfn ).

Your body has the ability to heal almost anything.

Does it need guidance to do so? Often yes.
Is it easier to do so with a village? Very much so. Humans are a tribal species.
is it much easier when you feel safety and trust with whom you are working with? This can not be understated!

Your soul is brilliant.
Your body is a miraculous work of art.

You are the magic ✨

It's the first of November, and again I will take this opportunity to remind you that today is NOT the only day you can do a cinnamon ritual for abundance....because it is NOT the date that beholds all the magic.

It is you.

You are the magic.

Go ahead and do the rituals, with full knowledge and embodiment that YOU are the magic.

You always have been ✨

With Gratitude, Love and Joy,

Frequently, I have clients ask me why and how they feel so different after a massage with me as opposed to a massage by anyone else.

The answer is simple: I see the entire soul before me. The muscles yes, and also the nervous system, the mental load. The emotional rollercoaster, the energetic fields. I see the lymphatic system, the stagnancy of avoidance in dealing with 'that one thing' you want to forget. I see the removal of the physical and energetic waste that has settled within your physical body. I encourage and support the flow of life giving energy and nutrient-rich blood.

You are far more than just the area currently expressing discomfort.

I see it all.

I work with it all.

And that is where the magic is ✨

Last month I encouraged everyone to be like Goldilocks.

Today, I am am going to share something that was shared with me several years ago.

I was told, 'be like coffee.

When water is boiling, it changes what is placed within it.

Eggs go from a runny consistency through firmness with a brilliant bright yolk to a dull, grey yolk if left long enough.

Potatoes go into boiling water hard, and soften over time. Leave them long enough and they will fall apart themselves.

Both these processes have no immediate effect on the water...until the egg shell cracks and bits end up being churned with the bubbles, or the potato crumbles into a watery soup.

Coffee however.....coffee immediately changes the water as well.

The water goes from 'plain', transparent water to a deep brown. The aroma changes. The taste changes drastically. It becomes something that has fuelled many debates regarding all aspects of it's preparation and final product.

Why are you discussing coffee when you don't even like it Anyeska? (this is very true: while I don't mind the aroma of coffee, I have never enjoyed the taste, and my adrenal glands do not like caffeine).

If we look at stress as being the boiling water, we can let it harden our hearts like the egg, let it crumble us like the potato, or we can learn to evolve from it and become an even more delectable version of ourselves like the coffee.

Stress, in certain amounts, strengthens us.
Stress, in undesired dosages, changes us negatively.
No stress ever, and we become weak, loose the capabilities and strengths we have, and wilt.
Too much stress and we are torn apart, different areas compensate and effected and discomfort becomes the default setting.

The beauty and brilliance is in the balancing act of how we deal with stress when it is the boiling water, churning and bubbling and possibly spilling over other unintended areas of life.
Sometimes we will be like the egg and harden.
Sometimes it best serves us to be like the potato and fall apart a bit.
When we work with the stress, allowing it to evolve us, we will become brilliant, deep, rich, beloved (even if not by all).

Be like Goldilocks!

There is a lot of noise in the world - physically, mentally and energetically - all telling you what is 'good' and what is 'bad', simplifying things down to a binary approach. A black and white approach.

The world, and everything in it, is not binary. There is depth, texture, sound, aromas and colours - my god the amount of colours! In everything.

Over the last 36 hours I have become aware of an 'anti Vitamin A' trend happening on social media, with people claiming that it is toxic to humans, and to avoid all foods that naturally contain it as well as never using any supplements that contain any form of vitamin A.
Without making this post about the intricacies of Vitamin A, it is an essential mineral, required for the health of humans. It plays important roles in vision, reproductive health (in both men and women), skin & immune health and cognitive functions to name a few.

Now, the key here is that both high and low vitamin A levels can cause harm in the body.
There is nuance involved.

Vitamin A is not an isolated mineral in this. There are SO many things that need 'just the right amount' for us to be in optimal health.

Water.
Oxygen.
Movement.
Rest.

Too much of any of these will cause a different type of harm than too little of any of these.

And the required amounts can vary: in a desert you will need more water than normal. Too much pure oxygen and your body becomes overwhelmed. Too much water too quickly and you can drown. Over exercising can cause damage to connective tissues. Too little movement and the connective tissues are damaged in a different way. Not enough rest and you can literally go crazy. Too much rest and your body's ability to create it's own energy is negatively impacted.

Goldilocks had it right: try, adjust and move on if the offering, modality, supplement, therapist, technique is not the right dose for you.
The dosage is just as important as the modality, tool or therapist choice.

The dosage can also vary greatly over time: your needs, stressors, goals, and life will all impact how much of what is needed.

Embrace your inner Goldilocks by listening to your body.

There is no one perfect supplement, movement, practice, modality or practitioner that will improve every single person's life at every point during their life.

I say this to clients (and others) weekly: there is no one quick fix, no one stretch or strength technique, no one modality or course or 'expert' that holds the answers for every single person at every single stage of their lives.

What may have worked for you 5 years, 5 months, 5 weeks or even 5 days ago may no longer improve your life - and may even harm your progress. Just because it worked for you at some point, does not mean it is the most suitable for you now.

The shoes I wore when I was 5, and 15, 25 and even 35 were perfect for what I needed at those ages, however they are not suitable for me now. Whether it is as simple as adult Anyeska no longer fitting into 5 year old Anyeska's shoes, or that my feet have changed shape slightly, or that my style or needs (sneakers versus heels versus sandals etc), what suited my needs at one point may not be beneficial now, and may actually cause harm if I were to try to force them to suit me now.
(note, there are no images of me trying to fit into 5 year old Anyeska's shoes as I no longer have them....but hopefully a mental image of this helps drive this point home!)

I'm sharing this today as earlier I applied a moisturiser that I have previously used many times, and have broken out in a rash. No rash from this moisturiser yesterday, rash today. No other changes (not a new container of it, closed and sealed it yesterday the same way I always do so minimal chance of anything foreign getting into it, not on a new patch of skin etc).

Like the seasons changing, your needs for living joyfully also change. Some phases are for letting go, some are for new growth, some are for new adventures.

To exploring what you need in this moment,
Anyeska

Good day poppets!

It's September 9th 2025, which means it is a magical 9 day!!

You may be wondering what that means: it's the 9th day of the 9th months, of a 9 year (2+0+2+5 = 9).....and then if we add 9+9+9 = 27 = 9) aka all the nines and all the magic they bring!
(I use Chaldeon Numerology, so 0 do not exist, they simply disapate into the atmosphere).

Nine is the number of everything, and the shadow of everything. It is both everything and nothing at all at the same time.
It supports transformation, metamorphosis and sacredness. It is emboldened with honour and justice, strengthening your soul and your gifts.

That said....you may be feeling a bit rocky from the full moon eclipse on Monday morning (AEST). While we often associate full moons with excitement and wonder, eclipses can bring uncertainty, taint our clarity and leave us with feeling scattered.

As we live through this eclipse window (we have a solar eclipse coming up on September 21st), it is ideal to ground yourself, to tether your energetic feet firmly on the ground so you are not left feeling overwhelmed, lost and like you ate too much fairy floss and don't know if the energy cursing through you is going to be productive or leave a bigger mess!

Over the next 12 days, please reach out when you need support: human beings (and our souls) are tribal beings and while we can heal ourselves, it is much easier to do this with someone.

With Love,
Anyeska ✨

Feeling stressed? Overwhelmed? In a constant state of disarray?

Your nervous system may be trapped in it's sympathetic nervous system, that fight or flight response. While most of us were taught the basics of the different arms of the nervous system while in high school, what do we recall now? More importantly, how do we support it to move from this continually stressed state to a relaxed state? To the flow and ease of the parasympathetic state?

Join me on Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning for a workshop covering the basics of the nervous system - as the brain loves understanding things - and then move into several practices and rituals you can incorporate into your days to move from the sympathetic system to the parasympathetic, bringing you peace, ease, calm and flow.

These 45 minute workshops will be hosted on zoom - link to join plus PDF of the rituals will be emailed upon purchase of ticket. Please remember to select which option you are purchasing (Tuesday, July 22nd at 6pm or Wednesday, July 23rd at 11am)

The last few days, I’ve been doing little live chats in my ‘personal’ profile page, however the topics are very relevant to all the work I do here.

You are more than welcome - encouraged even - to pop over to Anyeska O'Rourke and watch them there while I figure out if I can coordinate them to live stream both here and there.

This morning’s topic was Relaxation vs Rest - I definitely did not go as in depth as I often do in your private sessions, however covered some basics.

You are also going to get a few other posts here today as I launch a workshop on the nervous system and the Remembrance - which has a lovely launch price until July 31st! Details of both of these will be shared as today progresses ☺️

Hi!

Yes, I recently archived all the posts on this account as they no longer aligned with whom I am now.
Shadows of the past versions of me will always exist - they literally have created the magical being I am now. I honour all past versions of me, while at the same time choosing to not focus on them in my present state.

So who am I? I’m Anyeska (An-yes-ka - no reason for you to over complicate it!), a powerful energy alchemist and bodyworker.
Energy alchemist you ask?
I can see and interact with your soul, and all the energies around you. Where you are stuck and where your heart is screaming to be unleashed. I call upon your Highest Self to both be seen and heard, embodied and liberated for you to live your best life. I interact with God daily (or whatever title you have given to the Highest Being) and am a medium to ensure you hear the messages you are struggling to hear (or believe) yourself.

Bodywork you ask? Massage is typically focused on the muscles, often overlooking how they interact with other organs and body systems. Your physical body is a set of systems that interact with, impact and influence each other. In a world that has become hyper fixated on specialisations often ‘healthcare’ focuses on only one system at a time. Bodywork is looking at the entire physical body and how each organ, each system interacts with another.

To round out this trinity to mind, body and soul, I also do have qualifications within life coaching…..however in true Anyeska style, I let the soul lead the brain 😉

What does this mean for you?

Powerful empowering energy sessions that will allow your brain and body to see your own soul and live from its radiance.

Bodywork sessions (local to the Gold Coast) that allow full liberation of the stagnancies holding you stuck and still.

If you are exploring whom your soul came here to be, how you can step into that and calibrate yourself to living from that beauty, you are in the right place.

With Gratitude, Joy & Love,
AnyeskaJan ✨
