"Assisting others to heal themselves through the arts and sciences."
The Greatest Discovery of All is Self-Discovery!
Throughout the times man has walked the earth seeking wisdom and self-knowledge in an effort to understand who and what comprises the physical body and mind. To be anchored in spirit is to be in constant flow of Source energy with a knowingness that what lies within us is the world of Spirit. This is the energy we came from and are made of and it has its own laws that provide the foundational blueprint for the forming of molecules, cells and organs we see and feel as matter.
Anchored In Spirit uses the healing arts and vibrational healing modalities such as hypnosis, DNA activation and neutralization and art therapy as tools to help you heal yourself in order to have a better quality of life. Additionally, Anchored in Spirit offers visual and performing arts as a way to communicate ancient teachings, spiritual and scientific knowledge and sacred relationships for creating positive social change. Accessing the subconscious with the pouring out of ideas for creative expression through art is one of the ways the spiritual world connects with us. It is only when we are still and anchored in spirit that we are able to harness our imagination for a higher purpose – raising the consciousness of man for earth’s evolution.
Anchored In Spirit awakens you to the creative power within you, whether through self-healing techniquesI education or art, your life will be transformed and you will be able to manifest the career, finances, health and relationships you most desire.

How our Emotions and Perceptions Affect our Health
Today, scientists, alternative health practitioners and Western medical professionals are integrating their findings and coming to a new understanding of the physical and how we deal with health and disease. This has created a shift towards a new paradigm - a more integrative and holistic approach to healthcare. Deepok Chopra, M.D. explains that healing cannot be understood unless the person’s beliefs, assumptions, expectations, and self-image are all understood. Scientist and researcher, Candace Pert, Ph.D., discovered that emotions link the mind and body and demonstrated that the molecules of emotion run every system in our body, and how this communication system can potentially keep us healthy and disease free.
In her book, "Awakening Intuition," Mona Lisa Schulz, M.D. points out that trauma such as physical abuse, natural disasters, witnessing violence, military combat, etc. increases levels of disassociation. When this happens certain emotions are split off and lie in the body tissue or certain areas of the brain. If they are not properly addressed, they can create disease in the body. It’s not the memory of the event itself or the actual trauma of the past that causes our unhappiness in the present. How we perceive the memory and how we react to what that memory evokes is important.
Scientists have demonstrated this discovery. In one study women who were to have mammograms were questioned about events in their lives over the previous five to eight years. Researchers discovered that they were able to predict which women would be found to have cancer on the basis of the answers they gave to those questions. Those women who had experienced a severe life event – living through a natural disaster, or loss of a loved one or loss of a job – in the last five to eight years were consistently more likely to be diagnosed with cancer. Research indicated that even if a woman had experienced trauma in her early life, it was not that event that triggered her problem. She did not come down with cancer because she had been a victim of incest and had never had the capacity to love. It was because of the way she reacted to the circumstances of her more recent crisis.
A famous study raised rats in boxes where they regularly received electric shocks from birth. This is the way it feels when many people grow up in an atmosphere of trauma. The rats grew up with the shocks, and after they became adults, they were allowed to leave their boxes and were given the opportunity to move to other boxes, where they would receive no electric shocks. Well, they all chose to return to their original boxes, and the memory of life with electric shocks.
The rats were happier reliving their stressful condition rather than trying out unknown possible future well being. They had learned that helplessness was the only way of life. In their boxes with the electric shock, they were in more control of their environment. This reflects some of the same ways many of us live all our lives with being overburdened at work or being unhappy in an unfulfilling relationship, whether at work or home. We feel as though we can handle it because it’s familiar. The thought of changing jobs, going out on our own, or leaving the relationship and being alone is terrifying. It’s much easier staying where we are. I often tell people that the personality is "terrified" but the soul is "fearless."
Unfortunately for the rats, however, their helplessness ultimately affected their immunity. They were use to the world feeling unsafe so they would continuously experience shock. Even though they had learned to tolerate this emotionally, their bodies could not withstand it. Our bodies are our subconscious minds and the body's intuition and memories always win. Eventually our minds block out the number of shocks we feel. But the body knows and records every experience. With each shock our white blood cells and immunity decreases. Over time, the rat’s immune systems broke down, becoming receptive to letting in all kinds of disease. The white blood cells became the physical incarnation of the rat’s belief that they were constantly vulnerable to attack from the outside world.
Like the rats, most of us tend to relive past trauma repeatedly. Past memories prepare us physically and emotionally for additional shocks. At the time of the trauma in the past, we secreted the stress hormones cortisol and norepinephrine (the body's endocrine system). These prepare us for the next attack. As a result, we are more and more receptive and prepared for attack. When we find ourselves in an environment that evokes a traumatic memory, we interpret it as being just like the past. Our bodies experience it as if a real trauma were occurring, even though it’s only a memory. We’re only reliving a pattern, a pattern in which we will recreate traumas in the present and the future.
Memories and experiences and the emotions associated with them arenot just in our brains but are encoded systematically in all the tissues and organs of our bodies. These memories and emotions speak to us through the symptoms and disease in our bodily organs. A substantial number of scientific studies have indicated that certain emotional and psychological patterns are associated with diseases in specific organs; other studies support the link between specific memories and emotions and certain organ-specific diseases, such as breast cancer, coronary heart disease and Parkinson's disease. Louise Hay, in her book, "You Can Heal Your Life," gives a list of symptoms and the emotional cause of each.
Where Emotions Begin…
What most people don’t realize is that we are influenced before we were born. Scientists have recently discovered that these memories are held at a cellular level within our DNA, the blueprint of life. Just imagine, each DNA and subsequently each cell is impacted by every feeling, every thought and every emotion we experience and those of our ancestors. In her work with emotional healing and DNA, Margaret Ruby, has learned that the way we react to others, the way we communicate, the way we think and express our emotions, even the pattern of our relationships, health, and finances, are all shaped by our genes. These genes have their own programming or genetic coding - genetic memories and belief systems make up the DNA.
DNA can be regarded as a giant storybook. Of the 46 chapters in your personal book of life 22 chapters were handed down through your mother’s lineage and 22 chapters were handed down through your father’s lineage. Two additional chapters are your connection to Universal Force or God Code. Each chapter is made up of several stories (what scientists call our genes). There are thousands of stories programmed within each gene. Our emotional heritage, inherited from our ancestors, contributes to the patterns, positive and negative, we repeat over and over again in our lives. As hard as we may try to change an emotional pattern, those patterns persist until we uncover the real source of the defect, the ancestral stories that are hardwired into us.
The stories recorded in our DNA determine the course of our relationships, our health and our wealth. One can say that what happens to you on your life journey is a result of what’s written in the life code of your DNA. What has recently been discovered is that we can change our code.
In his book, “Biology of Belief”, author Dr. Bruce Lipton implies from his research that genes and DNA do not control our biology; that instead DNA is controlled by signals from outside the cell, including the energetic messages coming from our positive and negative thoughts.
We are sensory beings in that we use our senses to receive vibratory signals that we interpret. So we are not really our eyes, legs, mouths, etc. We are pure-energy living within a body to create our desires through our emotion. What we truly are is not what we inhabit; it is what we feel. We are known by our emotions, not our body.
Everything on earth, seen and unseen, animate or inanimate, carries a unique vibration. Color has vibration, flowers have a unique vibration and each person has his or her vibration. Every thought has a vibration. Have you ever noticed when you have a high vibration that life is actually fun. When you fall in love, other things in your life seem to go well also. Everything is beautiful and wonderful. People even say that you have a glow about you. This is our true selves and natural state of being.
We can learn how to change the vibration we are putting out so that we can control our world. We have been taught that when we keep our body in a high energetic vibration, we won’t become ill and our body will be able to repair itself. We never learned that when we show up in life at a low vibration we attract experiences that match those vibrations.
In addition to our own vibratory patterns, other people’s vibrations can effect how we feel. When we are around people with a low vibration, we tend to feel drained. But if we are around someone with a high vibration, we tend to feel joyful.
Disease is not our natural state of being. Actually it is a condition in which our vibratory rate is not in alignment with the natural frequencies of our body and energy field. The cells in a healthy body vibrate with a high vibration and the cells in a sick body vibrate with a low vibration. High vibrations promote health and well being. Low vibrations create the opposite. Your natural emotion of joy is a high vibration.
The goal of self-healing is to shift our vibrations to a higher, more positive level and to support others in doing the same. Scientists and medical researchers have conquered what was deemed impossible. Illnesses that were thought incurable and cancers that were deemed untreatable are now being transformed through the power of energy.

PoetryBy Wanda Whitaker
Come Passion
Come, Passion and enter the empty bowels of a contemptuous soul. Bring forth your light into this darkened hole where the spiraling dust settles and minerals unfold into life’s grandest manifestation.
Come, Passion to abandoned homes of scorching misery and foul tongues,
And wipe away tearful oceans along refugee camps where nature has stretched and sneezed upon her very own.
Come, Passion for you are stronger than the fiercest wind, the darkest force and the coldest hand. Expose yourself and allow your contagious smile to become the world’s epidemic.
Come, Passion if it were not for you guiding us through today’s mazes and comforting tomorrow’s sorrows, we would be like buried fossils in undiscovered waste lands.
Come, Passion, like a wandering albatross spread your wings to cover us from the tormenting storms while feeding us your gentle ways.
