The Witch Wound Part 1

The Witch Wound: The Wisdom We Learnt to HidePart One of TwoWhat did the women before us learn was safe and how much of our lives are we still arranging around those lessons?I explore the history of the witch hunts and the contemporary meaning of the witch wound: fear around speaking honestly, trusting our knowing and allowing ourselves to be seen.Through our ancestral wisdom work, we consider silence, overgiving and seeking permission, alongside the strengths we can carry forward. Includes a short embodied reflection.Next week: The Medicine rebuilding self-trust, supporting our voice and making space for greater connection, creativity and joy.What am I ready to give myself permission to express?Website: www.juliaanastasiou.comInstagram: @juliaanastasiou108

As the Pisces Full Moon closes the eclipse portal, we stand at a threshold between what has completed and what is beginning to take form.In this episode, Julia explores trust as an embodied relationship with life. The maps that guided us through a former season may no longer describe the landscape before us. The body can become a deeper instrument of orientation, helping us discern what carries truth, vitality and alignment.This transmission moves beyond release and into the question of how we live after a threshold has changed us.Together, we explore:The inner reorientation that continues after an eclipseWhy trust is an act of participationHow alignment can be felt within the bodyThe difference between familiarity, fear and deeper resonanceThe daily practices that give spiritual insight a living formGathering the wisdom of the season as we approach the Autumn EquinoxThe episode closes with an embodied meditation through the heart, womb space and spine, guiding you to listen for the current moving within your own life.What is life asking me to trust now?What is one true step I am ready to take?Bring a journal and give yourself time to receive what arises.Our September Morning Spiral is called Inner Harvest.Beginning on Tuesday 1 September, we meet live online each weekday morning for movement, meditation, breathwork, seasonal teaching and Soul Inquiry as we journey towards the Autumn Equinox.Monday to Friday7.30–8.30 a.m. UK timeRecordings available throughout SeptemberOur Face Yoga, Rejuvenation & Wellbeing classes also return in September, with the option to join either programme or combine both.Explore Julia’s classes, sacred offerings and forthcoming events at:www.juliaanastasiou.comIf this transmission speaks to a threshold you are travelling, share it with someone who may also need its wisdom.Follow Awakening the Mystic Within to receive future meditations, seasonal teachings and sacred transmissions with Julia Anastasiou.

How repetition, rhythm and ritual help us hear the whispers withinWhat if the body perceives the soul’s message before the conscious mind can understand it?After only a few weeks of joining Morning Spirals, one woman sat in meditation and, for the first time, heard and felt her soul speak to her. She had never expected to experience something so profound through an online yoga class.In this episode, Julia explores the invisible intelligence beneath embodied practice — and how consistent movement, breath, meditation and stillness can refine our sensitivity to the quieter voice within.Drawing upon more than thirty years of studying anatomy, physiology and holistic therapies, Julia weaves together:the lymphatic system and the inner movement of fluidfascia as the connective web of the bodythe psoas and our experience of support and protectionthe vagus nerve and communication between brain and bodythe koshas, prana and the subtle pathways of yogic anatomywhy choice, variation and an experienced container matterhow repetition, rhythm and ritual prepare the body to receive the soulThe episode closes with a brief guided meditation and the inquiry:What has been whispering to me?🎧 Please listen to the meditation somewhere you can rest safely.
