About "Heart to Heart"
Many years ago I asked within what my life purpose was. Immediately I heard, "teach people to love themselves cell by cell...by cell." I then saw a vision of a beautiful lush forest with an American Indian standing among the trees. I could feel his aliveness and smell the pristine air. Next, I saw cells with bright yellow happy faces lighting up and a blade of grass popping out from the center of each cell. I knew instantly we were one with the earth and as we loved our self cell by cell something organic would take place. We would open "heart to heart" connecting to one another and to the world as never before. Thus, began my conscious journey of awakenings to acceptance and love of self. I have found there are no fancy techniques that work as well as an honest and open heart. Being authentic each moment, every day...the best we can. As we soften our hearts an acceptance of 'what is' eventually takes place, allowing the simplicity of love to express through us.
"The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched, they must be felt with the heart" Helen Keller
About Ananfaye
My spiritual journey began in 1980 when I experienced a spiritual opening that completely altered my perception of life. At the time I was going through an emotionally painful divorce and was seeing a therapist. That particular day I felt very "out of sorts" in a way I had never experienced. With the therapists encouragement to just let go and allow the emotions to come through, a powerful energy moved through me and I saw and experienced the midnight sky filled with stars and felt an intensity of movement and the need to take a huge breath. Instantly it was as if I woke up. I was fully alert and knew immediately that I had lived before and that I had wisdom. I didn't know what that wisdom was but I could feel it as a knowing within as well as a profound peace. This peace is an anchor that has never left me. Oh, I can get out of balance like any one else, but, can always come back to this anchor. I had several more openings over the next few months leading me to discover the workings of spirit and the wonder of who we truly are. I could now see and understand energy. Needless to say I perceived life in a whole new way. In 1982 I became a licensed massage practitioner which enabled me to work with the energy that flowed through me so naturally. At the end of each session I would place my hand on the client's heart and "read" the energy I was seeing or I would relate messages regarding certain issues in their life. Thus began what I call my "Readings of the Heart". Grounded in the knowledge gained from my own transformational process, I act as a stablizing force that allows others to move through fear, belief, etc. that keep them from accessing their authenticity. As a vsionary, I teach people to shift from ordinary thinking in order to access their inherent power -- the wisdom of the soul. My background includes 30 years working in the corporate world, 15 years as a massage practitioner and body worker. I have done extensive work with the elderly and handicapped as well as working with hospice patients in their process of transition.
About Ananfaye's Tones
The use of sound in healing may seem unusual to some people expecially in the western world, but our lineage shows this is not so. Ancient civilizations used sound to create states of balance and harmony. Tribal people used power songs and group chanting for healing. Mantras or sacred words of power have been used in Hindu and Buddhist countries for centuries for healing and spiritual development and the American Indian observes the power and sacredness of the spoken word. In Mexico and Peru there is a legend which tells of ancient peoples that could split massive stone slabs along precise harmonic lines with sound alone. In the last thirty-five years or so, research has shown sound in the form of music, chants, toning and the sounds of nature stimulate the right hemisphere of the brain associated with the "feminine" functions - receptivity, intuitiveness and creativity - balancing with the left hemisphere of the brain associated with logic, linear thinking, verbal communication, allowing both sides of the brain to be integrated. Research has further shown that discordant frequencies sent into our field disrupt our energy. Positive sound is known to raise our energy level thus reducing stress, depression, negative thoughts, and more. With our vibration uplifted from the daily stresses we face we are better able to live our life in a more vibrant way.
In 1984 I had a powerful experience while traveling in Egypt. I was in the temple of Hathor when I felt and saw a golden energy moving through my body. I then started to sway and lift my arms above my head and as this happened the most beautiful sounds came from me. Simutaneously I heard the words "This is the way we used to talk to God." When I returned home I started practicing on some of my clients. The tones did not seem as beautiful to me, they were a lower tone and I judged them, but the clients said they felt so much better after the tones I just kept toning. It was a gradual process for me, to allow the sounds to come through no matter what they sounded like to my linear mind. I had to let go of any idea that there was a "right" way. Over the years I have toned for individuals as well as group settings through out the United States, Canada, the Caribbean and Russia.
Basically, what we are all striving for is to be whole. To be whole is to align our own vibrations in such a way that we are neutral, allowing anything in and anything out. This is to be in "tune" with the universe, the Divine Pattern of Creation, which is based on balance and harmony.
