HOUSE OF HEARTS...A Journey of Seven Blessings
The journey started when Anyah began professional music in 1972, and sang Gospel music for 7 years, then moved to Austin, earned her Associates in Electronics, became an electronic technician (for 10 years) and as a hobby continued to sing branching out to country western bands, and then to Houston to sing in a celtic-reggae band. After that she began a spiritual upswing believe it or not through a series of traumatic accidents and illnesses she had to overcome. She started her journey into the healing arts to learn about her illnesses and the origin of them. She began using essential oils and other therapies along with beginning her studies for ministry and instead of relying on synthetic drugs to heal, she learned how prayer, music, and essential oils were true healers for her.
She became a licensed massage therapist and then joined a company as an essential oil distributor with Young Living Oils which changed her life in every aspect. She was able to recover naturally through the use of essential oils and re-educated herself on creating a life style that generates vital energy for all. You can learn more about the essential oils and other wellness products at:
http://www.youngliving.com/anyah
where there is much information on how to live a vibrant rejuvenating life style! There was much she learned from her YLEO manager, who always supported her positively and instilled integrity in her for her dealings with life and business. Her manager is a great example of how to move from success to success and how to share that with others so all succeed.
Later, Anyah evolved in her spiritual studies to a more universal level and shared her music ministry on city buses with the community and expanded into a new extended family city-wide. She also did music ministry for the half-way houses at different prisons for those just entering back into socieity. It was at that time she decided to gather sacred wisdom prayers and began compiling them to her composed instrumentation and started recording them. She performed them live and gave workshops and seminars on healing and empowerment. She left Houston and moved back to Austin, where she resides now and produces TV, performs music, keeps with the healing arts and travels the U.S. and other countries with her music, art, essential oils, and creative seminars!
Her first music c.d. is "Harmonics of the Sacred Seed" and she has produced 6 others with the help of her Creator Source, her mother, a very special patroness and spiritual sister, organizations that distribute her music, engineers and people who love and buy her music! Her total project "House of Hearts...A Journey of Seven Blessings" was to consist of 7 music c.d.'s and that is what miraculously developed along with a beautifully illustrated book on the way and animated DVD with the Lord's Prayer in 3 different languages, Aramaic, Hebrew and Greek!
Harmonics of the Sacred Seed, Immaculate Waters, Pillars of Ancient Futures, The Great Awakening, House of Hearts and then Seventh Blessing was created through the loving support of a special friends, her mother, the public, and organizations. She is grateful that she is able to get this music out across the world and perform in the U.S. and other countries.
She has recorded in California, Chile, Mexico, N. Carolina, and Texas with some of the best engineers such as Gina at Blue World, Lars, Sergio Ordonez - Stinson Studios, Pat Manske - The Zone, Mike Morgan - The Zone, and has had the opportunity on every music c.d. to have Billy Stull, owner of Masterpiece Mastering - Corpus Christi, TX, to master her music. What a privilege. She has learned a lot about production. Of her music producer works, she has produced meditation cd.'s and yoga instructional c.d.'s for others.
She has studied with Sacred Wisdom Scholars and linguists such as J.J. Hurtak, Ph.D., Ph.D. from the Academy For Future Science for several years who is author of several sacred wisdom texts such as The Book of Knowledge: The Keys of Enoch® and also studied with his wife and Desiree Hurtak, co-author of the Pistis Sophia Sacred Wisdom text. Anyah then was invited to work on music with Scholar Rabbi Monte Eliasov, Ph.D. who specializes in Aramaic. For a year she studied with a Nigerian Priest to learn of the ancient sacred prayers that were in Hebrew coming from the Holy Scriptures and she put them to music and so the ancient wisdom revealed itself through sacred prayers from Psalms that Africa has been singing for thousands of years!
Concerning her American Indian background, she was invited to the Hopi reservation by a Hopi Elder of Shungopavi and learned of the Hopi way of life, witnessed the Kachino dance of 129 dancers, dancing and creating the pulse for humanity and to safequard and steward mother earth. The very humble experience changed her life, as the Hopi Elder is a healer for the peoples. She saw the sacrifice of his life to assist others, always on call, always ready to help. He helped her awaken to her American Indian heritage then she was able to connect with her Cherokee Elders in N. Carolina. Now, she lives in the South of Austin, TX, where the peaceful Cherokee inhabited in the 1800's. She recorded Amazing Grace in the native Cherokee language and it is available on "Seventh Blessing", one of her c.d.'s.
She was invited to travel to South American to Peru with her dear friends and briefly exchanged with Peruvian Incan healers, elders and one of the elders who is leader of the Incan peoples. She became familiar with the healing presence of the sacred mountains, the co-partnering of man and earth, the Divine Parenthood Pacha Mama and Wira Cocha, mother earth and Father Sky, and the 3 levels of spiritual initiation according to the Incans. They joined in prayer for the planet during this journey through the sacred heart mountains. Sacred music was shared with Peruvians and also nearby cathedrals in the centers of the towns and also the mission cathedrals in the villages.
In Mesoamerica, Anyah has a longtime relationship and tie with the Yucatan peoples and the indigenous village peoples scattered throughout as she sings in the temples, pyramid metropolis, convention centers, shares with the famlies in the remote villages, and always enters to sing in the mission cathedrals that present themselves along the way. She gives seminars on creativity and manifestation for the highest good to bring about right livelihood for those interested in improving their quality of life.
To learn to still her mind and go deeper into compassion, she studied Vipassana meditation and the Buddhist philosophy with her Theravada Sitagu Buddhist Dharma Teachers Venerable Sayadaw UZanita, Ph.D. and Venerable Sayadaw Niyanissara, Ph.D. from Myanmar (Burma). The Theravada Sitagu Buddhist Society asked her to work with new students that were of Christian faith that came to them at the monastery. She was asked to explain how Buddhism is not a religion, but a philosophy and helped by speaking English to when they attended the peaceful meditations with the Burmese speaking monks. She learned the Sutras which taught of compassion, wisdom and knowledge as being inseparable and essential for taking the Noble Path.
Continuing on her journey, she then studied Sanskrit at a nearby Temple to learn of the pronunciation and sacred teachings for the songs she would be singing on some of her multicultural music projects. Anyah received her spiritual name from Swami Paramahamsa Nithyananda of the Life Bliss Foundation in 2007, at Houston, Texas. She was named Ma Nithyananda Bhajanaah, one who eternally blissfully praises the Creator through music It was at the Life Bliss Foundation seminar she learned the gentle spiritual type healing technique and got her certification for this which gives many benefits to all. For more information contact the Life Bliss Foundation for their schedule of seminars, courses and beautiful music and teachings.
She has created music c.d.'s of these prayers from all the cultures and sacred wisdom teachings throughout the years that have occured when humanity reached a renaissance peak in spiritual levels. Most of the music is for assisting one during healing and certainly for blessing.
Anyah has a background of over 40 years in Biblical Studies and uses this throughout her music projects intertwining it with other sacred wisdom teachings she puts to music. From the age of 14, she studied music at school and won many awards, medals and trophies for solos artist in regional contests. Spiritually she was deeply involved in learning about the Holy Scriptures and became a teacher at age 16 in the church and continued to teach Sunday School and play gospel music and compose.
For several years she was a Social Worker II specializing in rehabilation for Families With Dependent Children. She was a single mother herself and wanted to assist other mothers like her to have a chance at education and vocation and to go beyond the bonds of traditional dependency on the state. At that time on her off time she did music ministry in the prison halfway houses for those re-entering society to help empower them to join "outside" and society again.
Now, she does more music ministry and seminars for teaching sacred music, peace, wellness, and successful thriving living. Some of her ministry extends to Public Access Television, PACT, on her show "A Time To Learn" of which she has been a producer for 7 years. She has an Associates Degree in Electronics, attended Houston Art Institute for Music and Video Business, was an art student at Angelo State University, and graduated from Phoenix Holistic Health Institute for the field of therapeutic massage and holistic health. She is now enrolled in Naturopathy studies to become a Doctor of Naturopathy for a Wellness Center.
Recently in Austin, Texas, she began a small band called "Anianali" and they performed on Public Access TV and for the 29th anniversary celebration of ACTV and also different venues in Austin, TX, delivering poetry, music and art. They still come together from time to time. Now she is forming a new band called "Metta Morph Us" based on the sacred expression "Metta" which means true loving kindness (compassionate heart.) This band is unique because they perform solo, or as a group retaining their individual styles. This creates a set diverse styles in the show as the group supports each artists style, then joins at the end of the show to combine all talents in a culmination of a group musical master piece. They recently performed on Public Access TV for the "Human Be-In" and 34th Annual voice of the public celebration.
Her current project "The Lord's Prayer" is a beautifully animated music DVD with the Lord's Prayer in Aramaic, Hebrew, and Greek languages. She has teamed up with -- Julio Ferraresi -- FD.STUDIO from Argentina which provides commercial art designs.
Julio Ferraresi of Argentina is the main artist and animator, so you can imagine the beautiful artful designs. This DVD is a teaching tool to assist others in learning how to speak the Lord's prayer in the sacred languages, sing it, do a meditation with it, and also has a commentary for those wanting to know a deeper meaning and explore a more expansive translation. You can reach Julio by clicking on to his web address above this and see his web-designs and art!
She also is compiling a book with all the lyrics and a commentary on the songs she has recorded for each music c.d. and it is illustrated with beautiful original art . The title is:
"House of Hearts...A Journey of Seven Blessings."
Along with the music, Anyah gives seminars to create sacred space and bring out the sacred experiential element of the music through meditations. Her seminars are to empower the people of the world, give them new strength, move beyond their blockage to success and uplift. She uses the learning tool of artful powerpoint presentations so the public can sing along and learn of the sacred languages and prayers and also have a guide for the success guidelines.
Her latest song is called "Organique Heart" (Organic and Unique Heart) and is going to be a single release. She studied under Jacquilyn Small for developing her "chakra" music and her latest music c.d.'s are specific for balancing the chakras. Anyah had the opportunity to study with different Sacred Wisdom Teachers in the past 20 years and is grateful for their valued loving assistance to enhance the music.
