Ana Clara
Hello dear friend; it's true joy and pleasure to welcome you here! My name is Ana-Clara Tavares and I am living day by day seeking the magical aspects of being human.
I believe in fostering practices to integrate the sacred into our modern day-to-day life, from daily self-reiki practices, planning weekend hikes in ancient and sacred spaces, Â mindfully parenting and leading in the workplace and integrating our innate power of creation and manifestation into the modern day-to-day.
I am a mama, wife, a reiki as a level 2 practitioner, trained meditation teacher, trained circle facilitator with Anni Daulter, a published plant-based cookbook author, a professional working in a traditional corporate environment, and have studied consciousness and mindfulness in university based settings.
I am passionate about discovering the magical elements of life as a human, finding beauty in each moment, and living tuned in to my heart and intuition.
I am located in transition between Ottawa, ON - Canada and Serra Negra, SP - Brasil. I am currently on maternity leave from my corporate job and my family of four is exploring planet earth.
My journey here
My life just felt out of sync. Â The joy, the abundance, the rainbows that used to surround me seemed to have disappeared. Where did they go? Â I felt my hands shake throughout the day, my thoughts chaotic. I knew it was time to realign myself to my heart, uplift my energy once again. That time felt difficult, dark. I had a beautiful home, healthy children, a loving husband, caring family members and friends, and a management level job that paid very well. Yet, I dragged myself out of bed in the morning, I was constantly triggered, filled with fear and anxiety and found every reason to complain.
The imagery I have of this time is one of walking in a forest, yet being so ungrounded that the slightest movement or sound on my path startled me - I could see the light up from the trees, but it all felt so out of reach. I committed to going back to what I knew and had discovered years past - yet had let the habit and devotion to myself drift away with time.
My latest journey started with a daily commitment to realign my thoughts and practices - to bring beauty, gratitude and appreciation back into my life. I allowed my intuition to flow to guide me to what my body, mind and soul needed next. It involved daily rituals and practices like self-reiki, meditation, journaling, movement and sacred circles.
With time I felt the courage to look deep into my wounds, past hurts and slowly accepting myself and my life exactly as it is and rebuild myself from the ashes, re-kindling the fire and spark in my life. It was like I had finally found the edge of the forest, I could see the future ahead but I had to have the courage and trust in myself to finally leap off the edge.
And when I did, it was like I had finally answered my deepest calling and begin once again to life my life with my heart, to view it and experience all of its magic and joy.
I am still new in this journey, and it restarts time and time again.
Over the last 5 years I have completed Reiki Level 2 training, completed my Meditation Teacher Training, published a plant-based cookbook currently for sale in over 235 stores, trained as a circle facilitator with Anni Daulter, studied Conscious Leadership from the University of Ottawa, hosted over 80 female professionals for Mindful Networking Events, and am currently studying Mindfulness part-time at McMaster University.
Today, I am honoured to share daily rituals and practices to help you reconnect with your heart and uplift your energy. I host sacred circles and share recipes and rituals that uplift.
