Others Opinions Of Me Don’t Matter… Or Do They?

Posted on August 6, 2011 by mivida

We like to say that opinions of others don’t matter and that the only opinion that matters is our own.  We like to believe that the only way someone else’s opinion will effect us is if we LET IT.  I wish to challenge that for a moment.

While our own opinions of ourselved are very important, and “YES” we should be selective about who’s opinions we accept in our lives, we are not COMPLETELY EVER unaffected by opinions of others at any given time in our lives.

Opinions and words are ENERGY…  they carry their own vibrations and travel through time, space and distance.  You don’t need to KNOW someone’s opinions to be effected by them.  Negative energy directed at you (even if you are oblivious to it) can actually make you sick just like Positive energy can Heal the world.  We have all seen this in action very recently in the World effort to heal Japan by channeling Positive Energy Globally.

No matter how strong and resilliant we think we are, we will grow and evolve differently in environments guided by different opinions.  If we survive in environment where we are valued, looked up to, praised, complimented, heard and loved we will continue to flourish and blossom at a much faster rate.

However, if we are constantly dismissed, disregarded, belittled and unaccepted, this would seriously hinder our evolution, no matter how much we repeat to ourselves that we are worthy…  The fact that we believe that we are worthy will only make a difference in whether we will continue trying to live the best we can or shrivel up and die.

You don’t have to take my word for this.  There is a way to SEE the results and effects that word and opinions carry.

Conduct your own experiment!  Place two similar jars, filled with equal amount of the same brand cooked rice in different parts of your home.  Make sure that both areas have the same environmental conditions.  Place a label “LOVE” on jar #1 and a label “HATE” on jar #2.

For the next 2-4 weeks each time you pass jar #1 stop, smile and say “You are beautiful!  I love you!  You are smart!” and any other positive comments that would make YOU feel good.

However, each time yo pass jar #2 stop, make an angry face and say “I hate you!  You are stupid!  You have no value!” etc.

At the end of experiment’s time frame look closely at the rice in the jar that was “Loved” and compare it to the rice in the jar that was “Hated”.  You may be surprised at what you see.

If we believe that all in this Universe is made of the same matter and that we are all connected, when we see that words, opinions and intentions can effect rice, than wouldn’t it make sense that they also effect as in the same manner?

So next time we make a claim that we treat everyone equally, that we spread love, that we don’t care about other’s opinions about us, we should stop and analyze the authenticity of our claim?  Do we truly treat everyone in our lives with the same love and respect with which we wish to be treated?  Do we honestly have the same opinion about everyone that touches our lives?  And finally, are we truly UNEFFECTED by the opinions of others?

I invite you to do this…  Next time you make a claim that you love and treat everyone equally and that it’s another person’s fault if they let opinions of others effect them, think hard about someone in your life that for a while now you have been dismissing, avoiding or forgetting, notice how you feel about that person when you are thinking of them, than,,,  despite of your feelings… reach out, call them and tell them that they are IMPORTANT and LOVED, and that they MATTER!  See how quickly they will shift from a negative to a positive, and than see if you still believe that we, at any level of our development, are completely immune to and free of opinions of others.

Knowledge Of Existence – Journey Of A Spirit.

Posted on July 30, 2011 by mivida

Like waves in a deepest Ocean, we rise and we fall. Than we rise once again.

Sometimes we are the water carrying the ship towards it’s destinationl

Sometimes we are the ship, struggling to break away from grasp of underlying current.

The Moon tempts us and draws us closer with it’s overwhelming gravity

Then Sun steps in, steals us away and reels us back with it’s warmth and illumination.

How fragile we are, the Human Race, how finicky and vain,

Yet also capable of such a depth and greatness, such strength of character.

We wear our earthy bodies for display. We decorate them each in our own manner.

Some soft and supple, different shades of brown, yellow, red or pink.

Some firm and sculptured, works of art and hours of commitment.

We stretch them into different sized, and mold them to reflect our life’s experience.

We walk in our own way, but always planted firmly on the ground.

Earths gravity holds us close to it, like precious possessions.

We tell our stories and repeat them over and over,

Until they are memorized as steps to a perfect dance,

A dance designed just for us, which we have choreographed to perfection.

At times our dance is joined by another’s.

We blend together forming a spectacular performance,

Each different from the one before. Each bringing in its unique flavor and rhythm.

Some dances followed to the end,

Some end on a note of sudden shortness and abruptness.

But all are beautiful and intriguing in their own way,

Each carrying its own message and experience.

Some dances are accompanied by melody of songs.

They reach into our soul, igniting it with Joy and passion.

Some dances are practiced in silence, in the darkness and in solitude,

Where only wind and air allowed to bear witness.

Allowed to circle, but never truly enter.

And all the while we gather knowledge. Not that of intellect or brilliancy

As that wisdom already exists within our depth.

We gather knowledge of a feeling or emotion.

Of knowing intimately every moment of existence.

When each experience we seek is reached, the core connection’s made

And suddenly we “Know”, as if we never knew before, although we always did.

The thirst of knowledge is unending and unsatisfying

Whether it’s pain, or joy, or grief, or laughter. We thirst to know them all.

Absorbing them like sponges, we saturate our soul and strengthen our spirit.

For what is other purpose of our visit,

Than gather life and all it’s splendor of experiences

So that we may complete the lesson and carry it with us upon our return!

Journey Of My Spirit.

Posted on July 29, 2011 by mivida

What can I possibly write to keep your attention? I can write what I think, but I often feel my thoughts have no value. I can write what I feel, but I often think my feelings are of no importance. I can write about what I need, but I often feel that my needs are of no interest to others. I can write that I may feel thin, as if I am slowly disappearing, but I feel that there would be no care for whether I stay or go.

Like a rose I possess both beauty and thorns.  Which one surfaces first will vary on an angle from which I am viewed.  Beneath a bright and cheerful exterior, my tears are like the drops of rain, both beautiful and heavy… and sometimes in them you may catch a glimpse of my fragile wounded soul.

My personality has a distinct duality that creates an individual of intense uniqueness and extremes, capable of deep passion on both ends of the scale. That is what attracted you to me in the first place. And when I speak of greatness and joy, of flying high and riding on the tails of comets you cling to me and swear your loyalty and friendship. Yet when the other side kicks in with all the depth and intensity of human suffering, with the agony that rises from self-doubt and immense pain, you quickly disappear, leaving me there alone to search in darkness for broken fragments of my fragile soul.

And in that great despair the other voice gets louder… the one that often whispered in the past “No friends for you my dear! You have no value!” But thankfully another day allows the other side to surface once again.  It spreads its light like Sun that rises over ruins of a land that has been struck by natural disaster. And in the new light the screaming voice turns back into a whisper, and in its place another voice or reason calmly states “My dear. You can not be a friend to all, and you must learn the difference between a brief infatuation and true friendship… And soon you will!”

And so I gather pieces of my broken soul and gently glue them back again, and let them busk in the light of the Sun of joy, gathering it’s healing energy and strength. My soul is not so pretty anymore, but it’s much stronger now. I breathe new life into it and open my eyes and my heart wide to receive a new adventure… a new lesson that waits around the curve. And though I know that my soul may once again be shuttered by a broken trust, I also know that it’s strong enough to once again be gathered back and made whole.

Betrayal may be part of soul’s growth, but through it my Spirit always remains strong. And so I wish you well on your journey, and start a fresh journey of my own… the one which begins with this moment!

SERAFINA

Posted on July 25, 2011 by mivida

My dreams have always been vivid, colourful and full of action and intrigue.  They tell amazing stories, with the beginning, the middle and the end, and often linger long after I wake up.  I often thought that they would make amazing movies, which would probably challenge the likes of Steven Spielberg, Tim Burton or Stephen King. However, every once in a while there is a dream that sticks in my mind, where I know that this was not an ordinary kind of dream, but rather some sort of a message, or a lucid dreaming experience.

Last night I had such a dream.  I dreamt that I was at the gates of a University that looked like an ancient castle on the outside, yet once I walked through its doors I was instantly transported to an ancient city, full of colour and beauty.  Fresh markets and fairs sprang along main streets and joyous public was entertained by actors, jugglers and dancers every few steps.  There were poets and painters on every corner, but from what I understood, the most highly regarded ones in town were Psychics and Witches, who attracted public to their luxurious theatre with their singing.  

I stood outside the theatre, trying to peak through the crowd to catch a glimpse of who was singing in the choir.  I was convinced that one of the voices was that of my childhood’s best friend, whom I have not seen in many, many years.  But I did not have much luck seeing from behind the crowd, or even getting closer to the entrance.

Suddenly a kindly elderly women approached me.  She was limping a little and was leaning on a thick wooden cane made out of natural, curved tree branch.  She quietly took my left hand and in the palm of it placed 5 coins, than gently but firmly closed my fingers around them.

“My name is Serafina”, she said softly and a gentle smile beamed down at me.  Somehow, without words I understood that the coins were a precious gift.  Somehow they were very special, and as the elderly woman walked away, I thought I caught a glimpse of a pair of invisible wings.  In that moment it became apparent that, although she was dressed as a Witch, she was actually an Angel in disguise.

Firmly holding 5 coins in my hand, I walked around to the other side of the theatre, where I found a door leading to a beautiful chamber. There auditions for Psychic Reader Singers were being held.  The woman at the door was a very tough looking young witch, dressed entirely in bright red outfit, who refused to hear anything I had to say and laughed at me when I told her that I too am a Psychic who can sing.  She was about to through me out, when I opened my left hand and showed her my 5 coins. Somehow they got smaller in size and now turned into small, rounded, smooth rocks that you find on the beach.

Her face immediately softened and she asked where I got them.  I told her that they were given to me by an elderly woman named Serafina.  She embraced me around my shoulders with her right arm and led me to the other room, filled with more Witches dressed in colourful clothes.  She asked me what talents I posses, and as I was explaining she introduced me to other women in the room. Each time she asked me to show them what I have in my left hand.  To my surprise, each time I opened my hand the rocks, that use to be coins, kept getting smaller and clearer and were starting to resemble different coloured crystals.

Suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my right hand.  I let out a faint scream and jerked my hand up to see it’s cause. But when I looked at my hand there was nothing there.  The Witch in red said:  ”Turn around and look behind you.”  As I did, I saw that another witch in the room had pierced the skin of her right hand with a giant needle. I understood that the pain I felt was hers.  And although she has hurt herself she had a big smile beaming on her face.

“That was the final test.” – said the Witch in red.  ”You are now one of us!  An Authentic Psychic!”

As I opened my left hand one last time I saw that in my palm I was now holding rubies, emeralds, sapphires and diamonds.

Than I woke up….

With a memory of a dream still fresh in my mind, I quickly “Googled” the meaning of the name Serafina. To my amazement I found out that it is a Hebrew name which means “burning one”.  How coincidental is it that witches have been hunted down through centuries and burned…  That all my life I hesitated to disclose my talents, or talk to anyone about them for fear of ridicule or reprimand… And that my birth sign is an Aries, which is ruled by the element of Fire.

I wonder if there is an Angel or a Saint named Serafina in any other religions, or if perhaps this name holds any significance in other cultures. If you are aware of it, I would love to hear it.

Joy, Love and Blessings to you all! Follow your dreams and practice your talents until they turn into diamonds!

And THANK YOU my Angel Serafina for coming down to guide me and for allowing me to see the value of my dreams and talents ♥

Crossing Over: Jade’s Story

Posted on July 18, 2011 by mivida

CROSSING-OVER---JADE'S-STOR

JADE\’S TESTIMONIAL FOR MILANA

My “Love Affair” with Jade, the Bouvier Extraordinaire, started 1 year ago.  It was love at first sight.  Although I have been doing Animal Empathy most of my life, Jade was my first “Official Customer”.  I only started my career as a Professional Animal Empath  a few months prior to meeting her.  I was invited to meet Jade by her owner Mary Giuffre and happily agreed to do so.

On the day I was to meet Jade, my mind was bombarded with thoughts.  I didn’t know their significance, but I knew they were somehow connected to my meeting with Jade, so I wrote them all on a piece of paper, just in case.

When I arrived I was greeted by the friendly faces of Mary Giuffre and Paul Clark, but the one who was most excited to see me was Jade.  She rushed towards me so fast that I got scared she would miss a step and fall down the stairs.  During our session the conversation was lively and full of energy.  It turned out that all the “messages” I wrote on My List were actually questions Mary and Paul prepared to ask me.  Jade openly shared information and than patiently sat while I was explaining it to her Humans.  While a lot was discussed, one thing became very clear, she knew she was getting old and was preparing for her New Journey, but she was very concerned about what would happen to her People, especially Paul.  She felt he would have most difficulty saying “Good Bye”.

Jade was so excited someone was finally understanding all she had to say, and connected with me so strongly, that while I was driving home from our session she continued talking to me in my mind.  Our conversation lasted well into the night, until finally at 3am I had to ask Jade to please disconnect and allow me to go to sleep.  She politely granted my request.  A few months later Jade agreed to give me a Video Testimonial about our session.  Although the one who actually spoke in a Video was Paul, Jade behaved amazingly well through the entire shoot and was on top of every cue.

I wanted very much to visit her again, but our busy human schedules constantly conflicted.  The past few months I was getting an increasingly nagging feeling that I needed to see Jade one more time before she went.  I contacted Mary and Paul and planned to set up another visit.  Unfortunately this did not come to be.  On the night of April 7, 2010, I received a message from Mary that Jade was slipping away.  The veterinary appointment was scheduled for the next morning to help her cross over.  Mary was hoping I could convince Jade to cross over on her own.  I promised to do my best and to pass on any information that I may receive from Jade in her final moments.  Once again Jade and I talked all night, but this time she communicated mainly in images and her energy was very calm and peaceful.

Jade did not cross over on her own.  At 10am the following morning she was assisted in doing so by her veterinarian.  Mary and Paul were lovingly by her side.  The reason Jade refused to go on her own was because she was fiercely loyal to her human family.  Even though she was ready to go, she needed to be sure that Mary and Paul were completely OK to let her go, and the only way she could be sure was to let them make this final decision, so that they may have peace and closure when they said their final goodbye.

Here are some of the things Jade shared with me as she was leaving this world:

  1. I could see her running around once again like a puppy, playing in a beautiful field with a Big Old Tree and tall green grass. The field was covered in wild yellow flowers and was full of butterflies. The sky was clear, bright blue.  The sunshine was pouring everywhere and the air was sparkling with glitter, as if little diamonds were scattered everywhere. The air was chiming with pure crystal sounds.
  2. An image of Paul creating a sun catcher from crystals. He looked very peaceful and had a big smile on his face. She loved to see him happy creating his art and wanted him to continue doing so.
  3. Her favorite spot in the back yard where she would like Mary to plant a Pink Magnolia tree and place a little bench underneath it.  She will sit there with Mary whenever Mary needs her.  She said even though falling pink flowers create a mess, the petals will remind Mary of her, because she loves pretty pink things.
  4. She said she will return as a Scottish Terrier or a Schnauzer, because they are small enough to hold and cuddle, yet look just like her and have nice pointy ears and beautiful bangs and beards to frame their faces.
  5. She wanted Mary and Paul to know that she understood how truly fortunate she was.  Her life with them was happy and she truly enjoyed it. She said if they saw a disturbed patch in freshly fallen snow in their back yard they will know it is her rolling around in it.

Her final gift to Paul and Mary was to find inner strength to say goodbye to someone they loved so dearly.

Her final gift to me was to allow a glimpse of what awaits our furry loved ones on the other side, see its splendor and beauty, and feel complete fulfillment, freedom and euphoria.

 

Thank you Jade!  We will always love you!

SAYING GOOD BUY: A BITTER SWEET JOURNEY

Posted on July 18, 2011 by mivida

The day was cool and somber as we drove to Uxbridge, Ontario.   Dark clouds hang in a pale blue sky; long stretches of grayish-black fields, littered with rounded golden bails of hay, scattered along each side of the road; trees stood colorless, motionless and naked, like some tired weary hitchhikers trying to catch a lift anywhere away from here.  Occasionally, the monotony would be broken up by a vision of a birch tree looking strikingly white against the blue sky, gray fields and lifeless trees.  Dark, naked and somber like my mood, Nature still had an ability to look beautiful.  As I stared out of the car window, recent events were replaying themselves over and over in my mind.

Today was Sunday, November 28, 2o1o, 11am, and we were on our way to say good buy to two of our beloved family members who were about to be cremated in a private ceremony.  We were about to send Snow, a 16.5 yrs old white male cat, and Kissa, a 17 yrs old female calico cat, on their final journey.  Both of them were rescued by us within weeks from each other and enriched and brightened our lives for over 15 years.  They were joined by a third rescue cat, Leo.  The three of them bonded and became known as The Three Musketeers.  They became important members of our family and a big part of our lives.

Leo, Snow and Kissa enjoyed a long, happy life and had uniquely different and interesting personalities.  They taught us the importance of “just chilling”, looking at things upside down to get a different perspective on life, never taking “no” for an answer, never letting the closed door stop you from going where ever you wanted to go, and so much more.  But the most important thing we learned from The Three Musketeers is how to love each other unconditionally.

We would love to keep our pets with us forever, but the old age eventually catches up with them and there comes a time when we need to let go.  Over the past months we started noticing changes in our friends.  After all 15+ for a cat is a Geriatric Age, equivalent to 85+ in human years.  Although Leo remained a tough old bird, Snow and Kissa started to quickly fade away.  Once a cat this old starts showing signs of aging, it seems to accelerate very quickly.  Within a week their condition deteriorated.  Snow was going quickly.  Kissa seemed to be determined to keep taking care of him regardless of how she felt herself.

On Wednesday, November 17, 2010, at 1:11pm, Snow has made a decision to cross over The Rainbow Bridge.  Kissa, missing her life-long friend too much, decided to follow him 3 days later, and went quietly in her sleep at 4:11am Saturday, November 20th.

In the past we have always chosen to provide a private cremation for all our pets and rescue animals that shared and enriched our lives so much.  We felt this was how we needed to honor them for bringing us so much joy.  However, up until about a year ago we were not aware of any other cremation option than those available through veterinary clinics, ranging around $200-250 per pet.  A little over a year ago we met an amazing couple, Nancy and Colin Graham of Thistledown Pet Memorial & Columbarium.  They run a private Pet Cremation Services for just a little more than what is charged through Vet Clinics.  The benefit of doing cremation through them is that you can actually see your pets being handled with respect and dignity, you can be there through the entire process and you can take as much or as little participation as you need in order to have closure.

The most significant difference is that when you leave, you feel at peace and the healing of grieving process begins almost immediately, in that moment.  We dealt with Nancy and Colin last year when our beloved Minuette passed away and we were very pleased with the service.  We have decided to once again come back to them with our precious Snow and Kissa.

Present financial situation presented some difficulties and having two pets pass away so close to each other was a little more than what our budget would allow.  Some friends recommended setting up a ChipIn and posting it on Facebook and Craigslist.  They said people sometimes liked to help out with costs by making donations.  I felt a little uncomfortable with an idea of asking people for money.  In 20+ years of running a private rescue, I have never once asked anyone for any financial help and funded it entirely from my own paychecks.  However, present times are tough for all and sometimes desperate times call for desperate measures.  In my grief I decided to take my friend’s advice and set up a ChipIn account.  I posted it first on Facebook.  To my surprise I had 9 people make a donation within 3 days, $150 in total.  I was speechless with gratitude.

Still starry-eyed I decided to post it on Craigslist.  This was probably one of the worst mistake I have ever made.  Within hours of my post going up, some vicious, slanderous counter-posts started popping up, accusing me of being a scammer, ridiculing my decisions in how we chose to say good buy to our life-long companions, spewing all sort of horrid accusations, and even going as far as flagging my post and getting it removed from Craigslist.  In the moment of grief, devastation and vulnerability, when one would expect to see some compassion and understanding from his/her fellow humans beings, I instead encountered malice, discrimination and ill-will.  I could not believe how eager people were to condemn someone without even as much as taking two minutes of their time to look at our ChipIn info, or visit Thistledown website, or even just email me for details or clarification.  They acted strictly out of assumption and self-righteousness.  Needless to say I will never ask for help or post anything on Craigslist again.

Still feeling raw from my experience  I arrived today with my son to say our final good buy to Snow and Kissa.  It is here, during this touching final ceremony, when my faith in human kindness was renewed.  After hearing my story, the owners of Thistledown Pet Memorial not only decided to give us an almost $200 discount on their services, but they assured me that even though the cremation was performed today and I can take my lovely Snow and Kissa home with me, I should not worry about money.  I can make payment arrangements with them at a later date.  These peopled opened their doors for us on their day off.  Kissa and Snow were the only two souls being sent off today and I can’t imagine having this happen in a more appropriate place.  There is still some human kindness left in the world.

With all our deepest love and respect,

REMEMBERING YOUTH

Posted on July 14, 2011 by mivida

I long for a time of Innocence

When life was still full of dreams

When dreams were still a possibility

And a journey forward had a promise of adventure.

The time when friends were true and always present

When I would never have to face an obstacle alone

When life fueled dreams and stars were wishes

When laughter never seemed too far from home.

The world was full of endless possibilities

My heart and mind on fire, full of hope

The world my oyster, obstacles were opportunities

And friends were “guiding lights” through murky waters.

The dance of joy was known well to me

And though some days were darkened by a sorrow

The journey back to joy was never long.

The roads leading there were never walked alone.

Gone are the days of innocence and laughter

True friends have scattered to far ends of the Universe

And only memories remain to spark those feelings

Held dearly than, yet never fully understood.

SERVICE EXPERIENCE REVIEW FROM A SPIRITUAL PERSPECTIVE: IRENA’S ESTHETICS

Posted on July 12, 2011 by mivida

 

A few weeks ago I jokingly posted on my Personal Facebook Page that I would like to create a new Job for myself.  The Job would consist of me getting free massages and other services in exchange for a written review of my experience.

To my surprise, not only did my post generate many comments, but there were actually few offers from service providers to come in and experience what they do.

One of the first people to invite me to come in was Irena Bortnik of “Irena’s Esthetics”.  Thinking that this was a joke I asked “What will I get?”

She replied:  ”Would a Facial do?”

“Sure!” – said I, still thinking that she is pulling my leg.

“Ok.  Can you come next week?”

I was totally blown away by this woman’s generosity.  We have never met before and have only been friends on Facebook for a few months, and here she is offering to do something for me for free.

But her generosity did not end there.  The surprises kept coming.  On the day that I arrived for my appointment, knowing that I don’t have a car and will be coming by bus, Irena actually came to pick me up at the bus stop and drove me to her private studio.  She also drove me back to the bus stop after our appointment.  She was so warm and open that it was an instant connection, as if we have known each other for many, many years.

Once we arrived, I excitedly waited for my facial.  Imagine my surprise when Irena said:  ”First we will do your nails!”  My nails!  Wow!  It has been years since I have had a manicure.  My nails don’t grow.  They are tiny and brittle, and are one of my least favorite features.  Yet after Irena was done with them, they looked amazing!  They actually looked longer!  And I just loved the color!  Normally, each time a nail polish would be applied on my nails in the past, it would be chipped by the third day.  This time it stayed on for almost 10 days! That’s a record time for me…

As I got on the table to get my facial done, Irena threw me off guard with yet another surprise.  ”Would you mind if I wax your eyebrows?”

“Mind?!!!  Girlfriend, go for it!!!”

Let me tell you something.  My eyebrows have been perfectly shaped to this day!  I absolutely love them and have been standing at the mirror looking at them, smiling, each morning since my visit.  My eyes actually look bigger and yonger.

The Piece De Resistance was the facial.  I was so relaxed that I think I was actually snoring at some point during Irena’s massage of my neck, head and shoulders.  Her hands glided flowlessly over my face, brushing away any remains of stress.  It has been a while since I have been pampered like this.

After the treatment my face felt as if it was made of velvet…  I kept walking around touching it with my hands…  and Irena had to keep trying to keep them away from my face, reminding me not to touch my face so that I wouldn’t stretch the skin!

The skin!  Oh, yes!  The skin!!!  It felt so firm and fresh!  I was too flaked-out from being so relaxed to truly see what I looked like.  I just knew I felt as if I was in Heaven!

The final, and biggest surprise came after I arrived home and had a good night’s rest.  As I approached the mirror the following morning, I was shocked to see that my wrinkles were completely gone!  I swear!  I am not lying…  No wrinkles!

BEFORE

I have had Bells Palsy three times in my life.  As a result, I don’t smile or frown evenly on both sides of my face.  One side is always working harder, and as a result was showing more than it’s age through appearance of frown lines on my forehead and eyebrow, as well as crow-feet at the corner of my left eye.  That morning all those lines were gone!  Not only that, they are still gone to this very day!

AFTER

Believe me, what ever Irena did, I will be coming back for more of the same.  She intuitively sensed what her client needed most.  Her intuition, combined with her warm, loving, caring personality and years of knowledge and experiences allows her to present her client with a custom made treatment that is perfect for his or her individual needs.

Of course I can not speak for Irena, but judging from my personal experience, considering how much she has done for me at my Free visit, I can only imagine how she pampers her paying clients.  I am sure there is always something just a little extra!  Something that goes well above and beyond the average visit.

I would highly recommend that you connect with Irena and experience her magic for yourself.  You will not regret it!

About Empaths.

Posted on July 11, 2011 by mivida

Empathy is the ability to feel the thoughts and especially the emotions of others without the need of the spoken word. Empaths have this wonderful gift in a highly exaggerated and attuned way, as they always know the real story behind any façade. This compassionate, knowing talent is passed from generation to generation and varies in strength and abilities from one Empath to another, with some being an exceptional example.

People are drawn to the genuine concern and warm compassion of empaths. Offten there is an unexplainable and immediate connection.  People may feel as if they have known the one who is an Empath all their lives.  An Empath may also remind them of someone dear and close in their lives, such as an Aunt, a best friend, etc., and that makes it completely easy and natural to open up to that person.  Even total strangers find themselves telling the most personal things to a truly gifted Empath!

Empath do not read minds, control things or make things happen.  They do not have the power to change your life, exept for the power of reading/feeling what’s already inside of you and bringing it to your Concious Level, thus empowering you to make the best choises in your present/future cituation.  They are Guides who will help you stay on your True Path.

“When we are happy, we lack the capacity to remember those who in that moment may feel sad, and days fly by like minutes, while we wish the moment would never end! When we are sad, we can’t help but envy that there may be others that are able to feel happy, and minutes seem to stretch into days, while we wish for that moment to come, that would end our suffering…” ~Milana
