Annette realised that her thoughts affected her body when she first attempted public speaking. She was totally dissatisfied with her feeble effort so her nose poured down for the next two days. From this, she learned about the enslavements of the soul and that each enslavement caused an ailment in the body.

More and more solutions came to her as family and friends appeared with their sicknesses. Her own body contributed as well. Annette sent a few of these simple ideas to a newspaper. They were published with the comment that she had sent “a book full of ideas”.

The spark was ignited and within six months, The Body is the Barometer of the Soul was written, categorising the ailments within the seven chakras. The journey had just begun. For fifteen months Annette received rejections slips from publishers who claimed, “the book is too small”, “it is before its time”, etc. etc

Not to be deterred, Annette began working nightshift in a factory and continued to run healing groups during the day and evenings. Finally, she earned enough money to self-publish. Her task became harder, as four thousand books awaited distribution to shops. Asking for money was not one of Annette’s strengths, but she surmounted her fear to tirelessly promote her book.

Many of Annette’s friends helped to release the book to the world, as they read and reaped its benefits. Until now, it has only been advertised through word of mouth. That first little book is now out of print, but as more and more people appeared with various ailments, an updated version became a necessity.
