I used to reach outward for what I needed.
Now I return inward.

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 💫😊😍

Land a 🔥 if you want to place an application to work with me.

16/03/2026

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.

Dear fellow sisters and brothers,

Calling all warriors of peace.
If you feel the call toward unity…
If you believe all races & peoples can gather in respect…
If you carry hope for restoration…
Come to our peaceful gathering.

Peace is our posture.
Unity is our offering.
Meditation is our share.

🌈 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 😊

So truly grateful, sitting in my back yard listening to our feathered friends.

Practicing what i preach, knowing My Christ has a big task for me this season.
To rest and know that everything is in Gods hands.

My lifes work is finally making it to the pages of present life, with an adjustment i so very welcome.....While I am still a 12 stepper with ACA , I've also been in a total of 5 fellowships... The steps work if you work it and you are worth it - amen amen amen! We decided with a group concious to go to the Centre from now on. So we can continue to Embody the 12 steps in whatever fellowship or way you might be traveling.
Recovery is personal, just like your relationship with your higher power. I fully beleive in a path following like Jesus Christ, however that does not at all stop me from jumping for joy to know when others find peace in an internal source! Our sacred heart is home to God (of your own understanding) never alone, never rejected, always worthy ♥️

Hmmm so more content, i also wanted my body to know this gratefulness of 12 steps!

so this last year has been crucial in all the version of chapters, characters and environments life has been especially the last 12 years.

Hmm Wednesdays at our Aceso Recovery Centre - 1pm as of next week. We will be gathering.

If you or someone you know is interested in this beautiful midweek offering, know you are welcome.
Even if in past we have had conflicts. We always put our children internally first before our adult personalities we might have formed, along the way.

Let's Anchor, Restore, Connect 🙏

All faiths welcome
All genders welcome

Any exchanges will be gratefully recieved to be used to serve our beautiful Bundaberg community who are living rough ✨️✨️✨️

PLEASE NOTE : I am not showing up as a therapist or counsellor in this Wednesday group. I am showing up as An adult child of family dysunction, sober alcoholic, and love ju**ie in recovery and finding wholeness in God at the same time ✨️✨️✨️

Be still, and know that I am God- Psalm 46,:10

Amen 🙏

Living with ART

Aceso Recovery Therapy

We begin to heal when we courageously face our inner storm, and allow it to guide us home to the heart.
With compassion and honesty, we learn to name the pain, feel the feelings, and transform through trust — not by force, but by love.

Instead of hiding from the chaos, we acknowledge it.
Instead of hardening, we soften.
We return, again and again, to the heart of who we are — a place of wholeness and healing.

---

The ART of Guiding Courage

A – Acknowledge the Chaos
The storm has wisdom.
It teaches us to listen.
By naming the pain, we make space for it to shift.
We do not dwell in the wound — we walk through it with purpose.

R – Return to the Heart
Here in the center, love holds the line.
We breathe.
We feel.
We remember who we are.

T – Transform through Trust
Healing is not a demand — it is a journey.
We trust the process.
We trust the Light within us.
Through trust, we soften.
We listen.
We begin to bloom.

---

Each day, we choose to live in the process, not the problem.
Each moment, we are invited to shift from fear to faith, from chaos to serenity — from survival to soul.
