This episode is a multi-layered guided imagination experience, using hypnotic language, music, sound effects, and more to lead the listener further into their own body as a space of healing. 

Originally published on Anna's 'Convexplorations' podcast, which is a combination of conversations, meditations, hypnotic techniques, guided journeys, and intellectual inquiries—using sound, music, language, and curiosity to explore healing, spirituality, consciousness, and imaginative reality-tunnelling for the 21st century and beyond.

You can take her uniquely life-changing healing course 'Somatic Liberation: The Deep Intelligence Healing System' by going to her website.

The course has been described as:

'This is some kind of magical'.

'Highly engaging. Deeply immersive'.

'This is a course in a class of its own, offering transformation at a deep level'.

'I've never felt more in awe, more empowered and more intrigued'.

There is nothing else like it out there for nervous system transformation, brainwork magic, partnering with your own unconscious mind and transforming your relationship with your body, forever.

In this episode, Anna speaks with Dr Carissa Conrad, Doctor of Physical Therapy, Therapeutic Pain Specialist, and Health and Wellness Coach. Carissa's experience of recovery from Long Covid fundamentally reshaped her practice. She now offers patients an approach that blends nervous system regulation, Vagus Nerve Stimulation, and advanced manual therapies. In this conversation, Anna and Carissa explore various dimensions of nervous system work, and Carissa explains the simple power of properly calibrated stimulation of the vagus nerve.

In this episode, Anna and Dr Maya Shetreat (MD, neurologist and ceremonialist) discuss the incredible more-than-human intelligences of plants, cells, mitochondria and more. This is a truly exciting, deep and exploratory conversation in which Maya offers multiple mind-expanding insights. Together, Anna and Maya explore master plants, human and plant kinships and the intimacy of respiratory exchanges. They also explore the power of more-than-cognitive knowing, the potency of Indigenous scientific intuition, the science-based insights of 'new materialism' and the healing power of awakening to the magic of a lively world of deep intelligence shaped by long arcs of evolutionary time.

In this episode, Anna speaks with Dr Evan Hirsch (the Energy MD), who has helped thousands recover from Long Covid and ME/CFS. The conversation raises some fascinating points: how Long Covid can be understood as ME/CFS with a different viral trigger; how the nervous system and mitochondria are not 'dysfunctional' but highly functional, intelligent and communicative. Evan covers the 5 main causes of complex fatigue conditions, and the conversation moves through the difference between nervous system retraining as a 'necessary' and 'sufficient' condition for healing; the difference between recovery and healing and the invitational nature of meeting discomfort with curiosity and openness.

This is a rich, thoughtful conversation, full of wisdom and insight. We hope you enjoy it!

In this episode of the podcast, Anna speaks with her friend and colleague Jack Strömer. Jack has his own walk with chronic fatigue syndrome and a deep practice of Zen meditation. In this conversation, Anna and Jack explore the invitational nature of illness in relation to spiritual maturation. Themes of curiosity, openness, allowing and the intimacy of 'not knowing' all emerge at different points in this rich, thoughtful exploration.

In this episode, Anna speaks with Dr Shivani Gupta, an expert in Ayurvedic medicine.

Through years of research and dedication, Shivani explored the incredible power of turmeric as a potent natural anti-inflammatory and later developed her own supplements powerful enough for doctors to recommend to their patients for every day use. In this rich conversation, Shivani's passion for wellbeing and for the amazing properties of Ayurvedic medicine shines through, as well as her understanding of the human body as a complex, intelligent system acted upon by incredible ancient practices of healing that lean into plant intelligence to offer protocols for deep wellbeing.

In this episode, Anna speaks with Dr Jana Norman, Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at Deakin University, Australia. Jana has suffered from rheumatoid arthritis for 20 years, as well as, more recently, Long Covid. 

In this conversation Anna and Jana explore the role of the body, and of materiality itself, as way of receiving the wisdom of evolutionary intelligence at work in the body and the world. Their conversation covers the lived, bodily experience of fatigue; the exciting science of cellular intelligence; and spirituality in 'coming home' to body and self so key to healing. 

Expect a rich, explorative journey through important dimensions of being human that are all too rarely touched in conversations about fatigue and healing.

In this bonus episode of the Fatigue Files podcast, you will travel (if you wish) through the four dwellings of ultimate love, leaving, at the end, with a felt-sense of commitment to the practice of dwelling in love, compassion, joy and equanimity. 

Simply rest back, and let yourself be taken on the journey. Please don't listen while driving or using any kind of machinery. You may well experience an altered state or a trance state. You might not, equally. It really doesn't matter. Just let your imagination play, and your unconscious processes will do the rest.

With love, always, Anna

She is a passionate input junkie with a daily commitment to staying on top of the latest health optimisation research.

A special bonus episode marking a gap between Season 1 and Season 2 of the Fatigue Files podcast.  This is a hypnotic journey into a world of healing possibilities, drawing on imagination and suggestion. It elicits a sense of connection with a deeper sense of agency, inviting you into a more expansive sense of self, one who can co-construct your own experience. 

Listen with headphones on. Take the volume to a level where you are comfortable with the voice. Please don't use machinery or drive while listening to this recording. 

This recording is part of the Healing Transformation Blueprint program online materials, where it appears in three formats, one of which has binaural beats. This one doesn't have the beats. A version of this  will also be included in an app, currently in development, called Transformation, along with some longer, more multi-layered and crafted hypnotic journeys into lands of imagination. These will include a 'journey to the 13th Chakra', 'Four Immeasurable Minds' and more besides.

In this episode, Anna reflects on the importance of understanding the centrality of the body as a sensing, capable field of aliveness and a highly evolved, highly  intelligent field of meaning-making.  She explores the Western myth of the body-mind split and challenges the sense in which some approaches to healing are almost echoes, no matter how well-meaning, of that older mythic structure.  Is it time, she wonders, to drop the idea of a 'hyphenation' in bodymind and to move towards a much more entangled, dynamic sense of embodiment, the unconscious, and embodied knowing. Anna presents her reflections as an invitation to an ongoing conversation, perhaps overdue, in the healing community, about the need truly to value, appreciate and learn from the body as an intelligent community of intelligences, rather than to conceptualise it as predominantly being the lesser part of a hyphenated mind-body 'connection'.
