Immersions and Progressions

When I was 42, I was running a life sciences company, making innovative medicines. The company was successful but I felt that I needed a stronger sense of purpose and drive. Luckily, I was introduced to Anna through my partner.

Over the last 7 years, we have done three intensive immersion retreats. I gained a clear view of my mission in this lifetime and how my professional and private life is contributing to it. In addition to the intensive session, Anna provided regular coaching sessions and ad hoc support at key points of my professional and personal life. She has a knack for selecting the right time and most effective form of support.

I always trust her judgement.

Caroline Dusee from the Netherlands shares value of what she experienced whilst working together with Anna Hughes in terms of spirituality, growth and Love. Working together was”an absolutely amazing experience,” she said. “I was just laying down, she didn’t say much. She was just putting her hands above or on me and my energy was completely resetting from a fear-based energy with things from the past to something so peaceful. Especially what I do remember is being so completely in the moment. It felt like an energy that was mine but that I was already capable to feel because she was resetting it in my body which was an amazing experience.” Watch the video above to hear Caroline speak more about how such simple steps had such accurate and profound results.

I first met Anna at a health retreat in Thailand. Having read her bio before arriving I was curious to meet her and try one of her consults.

There were certain aspects of my life I wasn’t really happy with and I ready to try something new. I had also recently lost my father and was still feeling the sadness of this. My time with Anna was like nothing I’d experienced before. This was the first time we had met and yet like I already knew Anna. By the time the consult had ended I felt like a weight had been lifted from my shoulders. I felt empowered and ready to step out and reconsider my life, to determine the things that were not working for me anymore and to make some changes.

This meeting was the beginning which led to the next several years when Anna and I worked together as teacher and student on a regular basis. It was a very special time of sharing and among many things Anna’s guidance and support helped me rekindle my relationship with myself. This aspect of our time together is a gift that I will always cherish.

I recall her asking on one occasion, “What do you enjoy?” And to my surprise I didn’t know. I came to realise that I had been focussed on my family and work for so long that I could no longer identify what bought me pleasure, I had lost touch with my own dreams and desires.

I also learnt that I had a tendency to spend much of my time in my head, trying to solve problems by thinking them through, forgetting how to feel, how to use all of my senses including my intuition. It was the work Anna and I did together that brought me back in touch with my inner world. This now plays a much bigger part in my decision making and the direction which I now steer my life.

Anna’s teachings are insightful and interlaced with humor making the conversations we shared both full of knowledge and light-hearted. I feel privileged and honoured that she shared her boundless knowledge and wisdom with me, sharing perspectives that broadened my mind and freed my thoughts from old beliefs, opening up a world of possibilities, while dispelling many self-imposed limitations. This now forms the basis for how I have reframed my family and business lives, how I came to realise that I have many choices beyond what I had once thought and that as I make these choices deliberately and with focus that I can create my own reality. A reality that above all resonates in me.

I continue to be challenged at times. But now my perspective on the challenges in my life has changed too. I understand the role that challenges play in bringing about personal growth. Through my own knowing and awareness I now find that when I am challenged these moments pass quickly and don’t tend to disrupt the flow of my life. My days are richer than I had imagined and I see beauty more than I ever did. I have taken up creative writing which I find a great way to explore and advance my understanding. I also spend more time in nature, having become aware of the value of stopping to appreciate how much there is to learn from the natural world around us.

In 2017 I had joined Anna Hughes's 4 day immersion retreat in Singapore, it completely re-structured a new way of living, this new way of being a step onto a pathway of practice, growth, and change. Helped me identify lucrative business paths that has led me to be awarded a US$ 1 million revenue project.

Unfortunately, earlier this year I was diagnosed with throat cancer. Upon which I informed Anna, whom invited me to join her online immersion that provided powerful tools and practices to nurture my inner healing, transmuted the weaknesses and utilize my natural healing energies. When I attended a followup consultation at the Cancer Care unit around 9 weeks later, the Doctors had difficulty finding the tumors that had now shrank to the size of a pin head. They extracted them and confirmed from lab tests that no further trace of the cancer exists.

Thank you Anna for expanding my life!

Life is like a silent film, and we are the one to write the subtitles, and the accomplishment of yourself fully depends on the strength of our spirituality.

We all have dreams, those our the drivers of our targets of our lives.

For these you have to have a strong belief.

The believe for me means the optimistic abstraction of the positive mind., to materialise our dreams.

When you told me some 11 years ago, that “the loss of your sight, is not an excuse to give up to acomplish your goals and your commitment to teach the people. You will realise that one can learn to see many other ways”.

Then also you told me, that my mission is the teaching, “the more you commit yourself and practice your mission, you will much less miss your loss of your visual sight”.

Yes, and this is what happened.

I have already started to learn coaching, and by now I am coaching people, also holding presentations and workshops.

Last time I had held a presentation in a big multinational headquarter, and this presentation was about resilience, and I explained my case by the resilience factors. This event was shared between about 200 people in that company. with most following by videoconferencing from several countries from south and north America, Britain, South Africa and the continent.

This was for me a great success and a proof, that I had followed the right way.

Anna came into my life at a difficult moment, at a time when my frustration with work, my relationships and life overall seemed overwhelming.Anna’s principles, so simple and yet so wise, have made me look at myself and my life from a completely different angle.With the Light, there came Love and Forgiveness to myself and all around, and then came Acceptance hand in hand with the Gratitude. All these amazing, deep feelings lifted me far higher than I ever imagined.
