Spiritualist and holistic experience[edit]
Anaya has worked for years in healing arts using many types of therapies ranging from those related to the physical body to those related to the more subtle and spiritual aspects of being.
Coming from a family that practiced Kardec Spiritism, Anaya first had contact with the more subtle energies of the Universe through her paternal grandmother, Izabel Romano. While still at a young age, she was introduced to Hinduism and Zen Buddhism, and Yoga, which she practices until today. Later on she dedicated herself to study and research the life and work of Jiddu Krishnamurti, and to esoteric astrology. She studied tarot, I Ching, chromotherapy, aromatherapy, Shiatsu, as well as martial arts, holotropic therapy and the Cabala. She deepened her studies to include alchemy psychology, Temple archeology, the Silva Mind Control Method, and cosmogenesis. She studied anthropogenesis, rays of light, arithmosophy, dowsing, applied kinesiology, Chinese medicine, and Feng Shui, besides delving into quantum physics.[3]
