I had the pleasure to come back as a guest for Positively Anti-Inflammatory with my wonderful friend Alyssa Abrahamson. You can listen to it here! We talk about all things breathwork, and how just by taking a breath, you give yourself everything you need in that moment.
Have a listen and let me know what you think!
Hello friends,
I’m excited to be sharing more opportunities to breathe with me, and one of the newest ways is right here online!
In addition to Monday Night Breathwork and Breathing 101, I’m going to be sharing different breathing exercises and opportunities on my youtube channel. Please subscribe to receive my new videos right into your inbox!
If you’ve got one minute, come breathe with me!
Anna Brooke leads you in one minute of conscious breathing.
Hello! I’m so excited to announce that the countdown is on! Vindy Teja and I are hosting, starting September 7, 2023, our Writing Through Transition workshop.
Have the last few years held monumental changes for you? Are you looking for an opportunity to help you write, process, and document the changes in your life? If, yes, then this workshop is for you.
Writing through transition can be a deeply personal, rewarding, and transformative process, but also one that can be filled with apprehension and unanswered questions. In this highly informative, hands-on workshop, you will learn the essentials of this process, so you can confidently:
- Begin the book that lives inside you
- Metabolize major events through the written word
- Write your story in a safe, non-judgmental environment
- And more!
During the six-week online course, you will :
- Identify your specific writing goals and platforms
- Build and strengthen your content and writing muscles
- Practice planning, storytelling and writing techniques
- Plus more!
No prior writing experience is required. Everyone is welcome!
There will also be a weekly gathering outside of class to get feedback on writing, brainstorm, and free-write.

Happy June! I hope your days have been filled with positivity and promise. As we embark on another month, I encourage you to connect with your breathe. It’s easy for us to get caught up in our daily lives, so much so, that we forget to connect with our breathe. Yes, we breath, it’s a necessity for life. But to inhale, exhale. To feel and become one with your breath. That is something that we may forget to do. And if so, it’s nothing to feel ashamed about. No, no negative emotions are welcomed here. You can take a deep breath now as you’re reading this.
There’s always an opportunity to learn to become one with your breath. To connect to it. If this is something you have no experience with, or you are completely connected with your breath, I hope you are able to join me on a journey via one of my upcoming classes below.
Curious about individualized support? Schedule a free 15-minute phone call with me here!
Thank you for reading my news, and for your time and grace today. I look forward to seeing your smile on screen one day soon!
With gratitude and warm wishes,
Anna

In my book Stripped Down, I have a whole chapter on judgment. In it, I ask:
What is judgment holding you back from?
Judgment is itself a limitation. When we judge, we distance ourselves from whatever it is that we are commenting on. Whether it’s a person, situation, context, or culture, when we judge we impose a hierarchy of value onto what is before us.
The thing is, that hierarchy is irrelevant.
It doesn’t exist.
Sure, it may feel real, especially if the thoughts you are thinking are part of a value system held by people around you. What’s really happening is you are putting yourself in a role you don’t belong in: measuring someone or something else’s worth.
When we put ourselves into that role, we ultimately strip ourselves of opportunity and precious moments of figuring out who we are, one clumsy, awkward step at a time. Judgment is a separator, a divider, and it is the symptom of a deeper emotional wound that deserves love, kindness, and guidance to transform.
We can only judge in others what we are already judging within ourselves.
So what gets to happen when we release ourselves from judgment? What becomes accessible when we let ourselves, and everyone else off the hook? Can you sense into the spaciousness that can arise when we give ourselves and each other permission to be human? What about the possibility to behold our own worthiness that effortlessly arises in the absence of judgment?
If you are tired of judging and feeling judged, slow down, and start spending time with your own worth.
You deserve it.
ps - Join me this week on May 17 for my “Say YES! An Affirmative Prayer Writing Workshop” to write tailor-made, personal prayers for your own upliftment and peace, and two days later on May 19th for “(Re)Sourcing Self: Meeting Your Emotional Needs with Love” to learn about ways to become the source of meeting your own emotional needs. Click on my calendar for more information.
No matter our wiring around our own value and worth, May is a powerful month to plant new seeds both literal and metaphorical and honor our needs, desires, and dreams.
Read moreMay the blessings of springtime be upon you!
The photo of the tulips above is one I took at the famous Keukenhof Gardens outside of Amsterdam. What color! What scent! I wanted to offer their vibrancy and beauty to you as a warm greeting into this new month.
I hope you are giving yourself the opportunity to embrace many of the wonderful things that spring has to offer. Whether you’re inhaling the rising freshness of mother nature, doing some spring cleaning, or tending to your garden, I hope each action you’re giving yourself enriches your sense of peace and renewal.
That is the beauty of this season, and it’s only just begun! If you haven’t gotten around to doing anything for yourself yet this spring, there’s no better time than now to let yourself take that step toward fulfillment, satisfaction, and enjoyment.
Join me this month to write, pray, and reconnect with your magical self. Curious about individualized support? Schedule a free 15-minute phone call with me here!

Thank you, Andrew for having me!
Here are some video clips from the interview. Despite the wild expressions I’m making on the video stills, they’re great snippets of a fantastic conversation.

Welcome to December,
As we approach the end of the year, I am struck by how this year has flown by. There is so much to be thankful for, and so much to look forward to. The period of time we are entering right now is one of reflection, and of taking quiet time to pore over the year, noticing what we can acknowledge within ourselves and others.
These times are not for the faint of heart, and I want to offer not only my acknowledgment of wonderful you, but also the thought that you are doing what you can with what you have, just as I am, and just as anyone else is right now. It may seem like a stretch, especially if we are hard on ourselves (I have NO idea what that is like…) but I want to offer this as a soft reminder, a bough of peace and love as we approach the turning of the year.
I’m wrapping up the year and starting 2023 with a couple of offerings that are designed to spark your inner light and creativity. I hope you will join me!
Take me straight to Anna’s online calendar!

Somehow, here we are in the approach to the holiday season and new year 😮 I’m still not sure how time continues to fly, but it sure is consistent in its speed - !
I’m writing to you from beautiful, strangely mild Midcoast Maine. The leaves are falling after their incredible autumn show of reds, yellows, oranges and deep purples (as seen in my backyard photo above!) All these changes have me deep in thought and feelings alike, and from what I can tell, I’m not alone.
Change continues to flow (as it does) and I find myself pausing more frequently to relax and breathe. It’s so easy to let the noise of the outside drown out our connection to ourselves, seemingly now more than ever. Whether you meditate, dance, go for walks, read a book, or just let yourself draw, paint, or move, this is a rich time to take extra good care of yourself.
There is so much to look forward to, and so much to hold right now. New beginnings, losses, and the many transitions that we are all navigating makes for a rich opportunity to slow down and breathe. If this sounds appealing, I lovingly dare you to soften your shoulders, hips, and any other part of you that is gripping against any shifting currents of the here and now. Your body will thank you.
If you are looking for easy ways to take care of yourself, here are a few offerings designed to do just that…!
My 21-Day FREE Self-Care email series is tailor-made for bite-sized self-care tips, tricks, and information to help you help yourself. You can sign up here!
Calling all lightworkers and sensitives! For those who have any sort of sixth-sensory gifts (knowing who is calling without looking at your caller ID, being able to feel other people’s feelings as if they were your own, getting premonitions or messages for yourself or others, seeing things out of the corner of your eye, etc), I encourage you to check out my new membership program The Foxy Firelight Collective. We have weekly 70-minute calls and you’ll get free admission to my monthly themed classes ($35 value) plus 20% off any of my online courses, all for $33 a month! Click here to learn more!
Last but not least…..drumroll please! I’m very excited to announce that I am now offering one-hour intuitive readings! If you are looking for guidance, clarity, or support, you can click here to book your session. Gift Certificates available too!

Hello, friends!
It’s been both a busy and wonderful laid-back summer up here in the woods. I was thrilled to be interviewed on not one but two marvelous podcasts and I want to share them with you!
In George’s words: Today's episode is the divine Anna Brooke and it's so much fun. The conversation starts with Brad Pitt's rather interesting recent GQ shoot and goes from there, ranging from David Bowie to burlesque, to creativity, to being American. This is a wonderful conversation with someone who is full of joy, creative and profound.
Positively Anti-Inflammatory with Alyssa Abrahamson
In Alyssa’s words: Listen in today for a lively and exploratory discussion about the concepts of spirituality and woo with Healing Arts Practitioner, Anna Brooke. In our candid conversation, we consider what these concepts mean and how we relate to them. We discuss how incorporating them into our lives has the potential to enhance our sense of meaning by helping us find a deeper connection to ourselves, others, nature, and the universe.
Have a listen and let me know what you think!
In the wake of continued upheaval in our world, a poem came to me yesterday. I decided to record it, add some video I took from a recent trip to the ocean, and share it with you.
I would love to know what you think. Please share it if you feel moved :)
With love and an encouragement to breathe bigger,
Anna
