Anna Aiken’s first article received a strong response from women – through messages, comments, and personal stories. Many saw themselves reflected in her words: their tension, fatigue, loss of sensitivity, and the constant feeling of «I must». These reactions made one thing clear: the topic of connecting with oneself and one’s body is not just relevant today – it is essential.

Anna Ayken is a mentor in feminine energy, an expert in subconscious transformation, and the creator of the NeuroAwakening and Parent Positioning Protocol™ methods.



How can a woman recognize that she has lost connection with herself and her body?


– When a woman loses connection with herself, the first shifts always happen in the subconscious. Her inner programs stop working in harmony with her reality. The subconscious moves into a protective mode – the body tightens, breathing becomes shallow, and emotions are pushed down.

She begins to feel unexplained anxiety, exhaustion, and mental fog. Joy fades. Food doesn’t taste like it used to, sex doesn’t feel alive, creativity doesn’t excite.

This is not about character or willpower – it’s a subconscious message:

“You’re not living the life you want. You’re living the life you think you must”.

When the body stops feeling like home and turns into a machine to manage – that is the moment a woman loses connection with herself.



– Why do so many women carry the belief «I must be perfect»? Why is it harmful?


– Because perfection lives in the subconscious as an old survival mechanism.

For generations, women were taught the same message:

«You will be loved only if you’re good enough. If you’re perfect, you will survive».

The subconscious still confuses love with safety:

perfection = protection, imperfection = danger.

But perfection shuts down the most important parts of a woman: her feelings, her desires, her natural self-expression. She becomes a project to improve instead of a person to love.

Eventually, the subconscious flips the system against her: fear, self-criticism, doubt, comparison, approval seeking.

It becomes an inner prison – without bars, but with perfect walls.


– What daily habits pull a woman away from her natural rhythm?


– Anything that goes against her subconscious cycles.

A woman is naturally rhythmic – she is not built to stay in the same pace and mood every day. When she forces herself to be constantly productive, controlled, and logical, she suppresses the parts of her brain responsible for intuition, creativity, physical awareness, and emotional sensitivity.

The most damaging habits are

• ignoring or suppressing emotions,

• ignoring desires,

• living without pauses,

• thinking instead of feeling,

• treating the body like a tool, not a home.

This creates a gap between conscious and subconscious life, and a woman shifts into a masculine survival mode: «I must I do I endure».

One of the most dangerous patterns is emotional suppression. I often tell clients: «Emotions are like food – if something enters the body, it must leave the body. Not always pretty, not always comfortable, but necessary».

If emotions are not released, they form what I call an «energetic clot» – and energy stops flowing, especially toward goals, growth, and realization.

My method teaches emotional release in a healthy, grounded way – without conflict, without exploding, without harming relationships, but with honesty, movement, and self-regulation.



– Can women work with your method during a crisis – divorce, loss, burnout?


– Not only can they – it’s often the best moment to start.

In crisis, the subconscious becomes more flexible and open to change. When life feels stable, there is no motivation to transform deep inner patterns. But crisis creates a reset point. The subconscious begins searching for a new survival strategy – and becomes receptive to new messages, new meaning, and new identity.

During this time

• old beliefs loosen,

• identity softens,

• internal defenses lower,

• access to true desires becomes stronger.

It’s like installing a new operating system – impossible while the old one is running.

That’s why women in burnout, loss or transition often progress faster. Their subconscious is ready for rewiring.



– What does the shift from «I survive» to «I live» really mean?


It’s neuropsychological shift. In survival mode, the subconscious activates the limbic system – the area of the brain responsible for fear and the fight-or-flight response.

When a woman shifts into living mode, the prefrontal cortex becomes active – the center of clarity, creativity, decision-making, joy, and personal choice.

You see it in real life

• fear turns into curiosity,

• tension becomes inspiration,

• anxiety softens into calm,

• contraction melts into freedom.

You hear it in her voice –

it becomes deeper and warmer.

You see it in her posture – the body relaxes.

You feel it in her energy – she begins to shine.




– What happens to a woman’s self-realization and finances when she reconnects with herself?


– When a woman enters inner alignment, her subconscious stops burning energy on resistance. Most women are blocked not by lack of opportunity, but by subconscious fear:

fear of judgment, fear of failure, fear of visibility, fear of success.

When those subconscious programs dissolve, energy that used to feed doubt suddenly fuels creativity, movement, confidence, and direction.

Self-realization becomes natural: she chooses what she loves, not what she “should”. She stops waiting for permission. She becomes internally directed.

And that’s when money starts flowing – not through pressure or control, but through resonance. When the inner world supports the outer one, life responds.



– If you could share one message with women – the one that awakens something inside – what would it be?


– You don’t have to become someone else to be happy. Everything you’re looking for already lives within you. The real goal is living in truth with yourself. You don’t need to change who you are – you need to return to who you are.

When a woman stops fighting herself and begins listening to her inner truth, life shifts. Her reality stops being a task – and becomes an experience. That’s where joy, love, purpose, and self-expression begin. That is the first step toward awakening.
