Do you sometimes sense that things just don’t feel quite right? A bit off perhaps? And many achievements celebrated in this culture right now feel shallow and don’t satisfy for long?   And, do you sometimes sense that there’s another way to do things? Another way to live? Do you experience momentary glimpses, something deeply re-membered in the body that feels clear and harmonious?   And perhaps there’s a rising inspiration in you to bring your gifts and talents to contribute to something you really care about. In a way that feels safe to experiment and explore with others as we gather to move toward a just and more relational world together?   And perhaps you’re looking for some guidance in this that is deeper than thinking or emotion? Guidance to take action and make decisions that align with your deepest values and beliefs, not from a guru, but from within. Connecting with, what might feel like, an inner compass that gives direction and develops trust in the flow of life?   And what if this sense of things feeling ‘a bit off’, your desire to contribute to something you love, through the guidance of an embodied compass could be further attuned in resonant belonging with all life?   I invite you to pause here and now … feel your body touching the ground … and the ground touching this body.   Perhaps we could call this practice Embodied Relational Presence; an accessible way into the here and the now, through the felt-sense of the body, in relationship to the environment around you. Free from fears of the future and habits of the past.   Please feel free to connect with Jenny as we take this journey together through future articles and a range of somatic workshops and experiences of sensory awareness, resonant connection and creative expression.   Jenny Haycocks draws on 30 years of experience as a facilitator, activist and teacher of presence.

Ann Smets is a Human Potential & Soul Integration Facilitator and the founder of Soulestara, supporting individuals, entrepreneurs, and executives to optimise their energy, expand their awareness, and lead from a place of inner alignment. Her work focuses on the connection between physical health, emotional wellbeing, and energy alignment—supporting those who seek not only recovery from stress and fatigue, but also a more sustainable, energised, and conscious way of living and leading. With over a decade of experience in Taoist healing practices, nervous system regulation, Chi Nei Tsang (abdominal therapy), and energy-based modalities, Ann helps clients release tension held in the body, restore natural energy flow, and reconnect with their inner intelligence. Her approach bridges science and ancient wisdom, combining body-based therapies, subconscious reprogramming, and energetic work to create lasting transformation. Rather than focusing on symptoms alone, she works at the root—guiding individuals to regulate their system, strengthen emotional resilience, and access deeper clarity and direction. Ann’s international background, including years in high-performance environments within the travel and hospitality industry, gives her a grounded understanding of modern-day pressure, responsibility, and constant change. Clients are often drawn to her work when they feel the need for a deeper shift—whether that is to restore energy, health, gain clarity, or evolve into a more aligned version of themselves. Through her work, Ann supports a transition from reactive living to embodied leadership, where physical vitality, mental clarity, and inner alignment become the foundation for both personal and professional success.   Ann Smets Executive Contributor Human Potential & Soul Integration Facilitator Executive Contributors at Brainz Magazine are handpicked and invited to contribute because of their knowledge and valuable insight within their area of expertise.
