In this first Sunday Service, Claire Anstey opens the doors to The Wisdom Gym and shares why she created this weekly space — a moment to breathe, realign, and remember who you really are.

Together, you’ll explore the creative power of the universe — the intelligent energy that moves through everything, including you. Claire explains how your thoughts, emotions, and beliefs interact with this power, and how real creation happens through alignment, not force.

She also introduces the four pillars that guide every episode — Spiritual Science, Neuroscience, Somatic Practice, and Manifestation — blending ancient wisdom with modern psychology to help you live in balance and truth.

You’ll be guided through a calming Invocation and a full Spiritual Mind Treatment — a spoken practice that unites thought, feeling, and vibration to reconnect you with divine intelligence.

By the end of the episode, you’ll feel more grounded in your body and clearer in your mind.

You’ll understand that:

• You are not separate from the creative power of the universe — you are it in form.
• Creation flows through alignment, not striving.
• When you calm your body and regulate your nervous system, you come back into harmony with life itself.

Claire closes by inviting you to use this week’s Spiritual Mind Treatment as your daily ritual — a few moments each morning to reconnect, centre yourself, and trust the creative force that lives within you.

If you’d like to revisit today’s Spiritual Mind Treatment or read it in full, you can find the written version on our website. It’s there for you to use as a daily practice — a few quiet moments each morning to align your mind, calm your body, and reconnect with the creative Power that moves through you.

In this episode of The Wisdom Gym, host Claire Anstey dives into one of the most powerful and paralysing emotions we carry: shame.

You’ll explore:

• The difference between guilt and shame — and why it matters
• How shame shows up in the body (including nervous system freeze)
• The ways shame blocks your voice, creativity, and connection
• Why your nervous system learns to link shame with safety — especially in childhood
• How chronic shame keeps you frozen, disconnected, and feeling “not enough”

Claire shares:

• The South London playground chant that first showed her what shame felt like
• How shame blocks every core emotion — from joy and anger to trust and desire
• Simple yet powerful practices to start releasing shame, including a private mirror exercise if you’re not ready to share with others
• Insights from shame researcher Brené Brown on why secrecy, silence, and judgement allow shame to grow — and how empathy dissolves it

You can also access free classes and exercises in The Wisdom Gym Online Studio via our website. With your free membership, you can search for shame (or any other feeling you want to work out) and choose from a range of therapies, practices, and tools to support your healing.

If you’re ready to stop carrying shame and reconnect with your authentic self, this episode gives you the knowledge and practices to begin.

You will gain:

• A clear framework for understanding emotions vs feelings
• Practical insight into how your body holds emotions

Welcome to the launch episode of The Wisdom Gym.

Claire Anstey kicks off Series 1 by guiding you through the emotional foundations of your inner world — and helping you finally understand the real difference between emotions and feelings.

In this episode, we break down:

• What emotions really are (and why they’re not “too much”)
• How feelings are mental stories — not the truth of your body
• The 4 key layers of emotional experience: core, secondary, inhibitory, and defence
• Why most of us live in our head — and how that disconnects us from healing
• How getting clear on your core emotions leads to confidence, clarity, and inner freedom

Claire also shares:

• A raw story of emotional suppression labelled as an “episode” by her family
• What happens when clients reconnect with emotions after years of numbness
• How she recognises her own defences — and what that teaches us about self-awareness
