Як добре, що фб нагадує про мої корисні рецепти, хоча з року в рік вони міняються і стають ще кращими та кориснішими. Я ж експериментатор за натурою, завжди щось придумую нове. В плані підтримки доброго здоров'я все життя вчуся і пізнаю, і вам того бажаю! Природа і її плоди для мене - це Творець всіх Творців! Я завжди з любов'ю вклоняюся їй і дякую за ті дари, якими вона щедро ділиться з нами.
Оздоровити може себе кожен, якщо захоче. А ще я помітила таку річ: якщо я перебуваю серед людей з якимось захворюванням, не має значення, з зовнішніми признаками чи внутрішніми - відразу почуваю себе теж погано, це відчуття на енергетичному рівні, навіть якщо людина з першого погляду позитивна і задоволена життям. А у вас таке буває? Спочатку мені це було дуже дивно. Тепер стараюся, як можу, своїм прикладом, показати що легко, добре, надзвичайно просто і можливо, бути здоровим та жити у здоровому тілі. Чи це не розкіш у наш час? А у здоровому тілі - здоровий дух! І що ще потрібно для щастя! А зробити його здоровим можеш тільки ти і ніхто крім тебе!
Інші можуть експериментувати над ним, випробовувати свої винахідки на ньому, різати, досліджувати та калічити. Ні, спочатку калічити а потім експериментувати, внушати і т.д. Ох .... Як ще можна тобі це пояснити? Не знаю. В цьому випадку, певне, кожен сам повинен прийти до того, тобто до себе та свого здорового тіла, а комусь можливо і не дано....
Природа - це найпотужніший цілитель! А наш організм - це ціла кібернетична система, яка може відновлюватись, саморегенеруватись і творити чудеса, якщо ти в нього покладеш живу їжу, ти всі органи наповниш життям і вони тобі подякують!
Тому я люблю жити в здоровому тілі і здоровому оточенні!
І тобі того ж бажаю! Змогла я - зможеш і ти!
А, і ще:, ти можеш бути травоїдним кроликом але ніколи не будь піддослідним!

Мій рецепт доброго здоров'я і самопочуття!
У поєднанні всі ці компоненти творять чудеса у нашому організмі!

Kindness

And our philosophy is kindness. Be kind when you can, and it is always possible. Our planet needs kind people. We don't need a lot of successful people. The planet desperately needs peacemakers, healers, conservationists, and just plain loving people. It needs people who are good to live with.

The planet needs people with morality and love who will make the world liveable and humane. And these qualities have little to do with success, because in society, success is mostly material goods. But remember that people were created to be loved, and things were created to be used. That's why there is chaos in the world, because it's the opposite.

We must master technology and things, not become their slaves. And the goal is not to be better than anyone else, but to become better than the person we were. True heroism is not manifested in strength and fearlessness, it is manifested in the control of anger and hatred. It is manifested in love, when there is only hatred around. And the more you are motivated by love, the more fearless and free your actions will be. And the more you develop love, altruism, tenderness and compassion in yourself, the faster you get rid of hatred and pride.

(interpretation of the words of the Dalai Lama by Switlana Pidlaska)

Сьогодні на просторах інтернету почула одну повчальну притчу про корисне харчування.
Дві різні людини, працюючи в одному і тому ж офісі, один зранку на сніданок споживав біляші, а інший пив зелені смузі.
У одного не було нічого, окрім старої поломаної машини і багато поганих звичок: куріння, алкоголь, у вихідні дні спав до обіду, а інший їздив на "ферарі", багато подорожував, жив в достатку.

Коли одного разу бідний колега підійшов до свого заможного друга і запитав:
"Звідки у тебе гроші на таке хороше життя? Батьки певне допомагають?"
- "Ні", - відповів багатий колега,- "Я просто п'ю на сніданок зелені смузі".

Той засміявся, покрутив пальцем у скронях і пішов.

Одного разу багатий колега запропонував йому 10000$ і сказав: " Якщо ти почнеш пити зелені смузі, то за рік ти мені віддаш 20000$. Спробуй, ти нічого не втрачаєш!"

Колега взяв гроші, зрадів і подумав собі: "От ідіот".
Та прийшовши до дому ввечері подумав соб: "Щоб приготувати смузі мені потрібно раніше встати, так не хочеться, але спробую. Гроші ж потрібно повернути."

І почав вживати кожного дня смузі, як одного дня, йому захотілося встати о 6.00 год. "А що ж я буду робити? до роботи ще є час і воду і смузі випив, палити сигару вже не хочеться, біляша їсти теж, певне організм очистився від токсин. Та піду на прогулянку".

І так кожного дня чоловік просинався все раніше і почав не тільки ходити а й спортом займатися. Одного разу зустрів молодого чоловіка, який був міліонером, вони почали ближче спілкуватися і той запропонував йому хорошу, високооплачувану роботу. За рік він повернув своєму колезі не 20000$, а в десять разів більше!.
Мораль цієї історії така: Всі багаті люди корисно харчуються, без фанатизму, звичайно, залишили свої погані звички та займаються спортом!

Conscious nutrition  

Conscious nutrition is not only a fashion trend, but also an important philosophy that can significantly affect our health and overall well-being.

Adding wild herbs to our food has many benefits. Wild plants such as nettle, dandelion, coltsfoot, yarrow, and others are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that support our immune system. This means the restoration of the body at the cellular level and  the proper functioning of all organs and systems. This means a good memory and healthy, radiant skin.

Wild plants often contain more nutrients than traditionally grown plants, because they are cared for and nourished by Mother Earth herself, whose soil contains incredible treasures!

Even the process of gathering wild herbs helps us breathe fresh air, practice bowing, which has a beneficial effect on the muscles of the spine, improves blood circulation and lymph flow, calms us and heals us, reducing stress and improving well-being.

Establishing a deeper connection with nature can be a therapeutic experience that not only calms and balances, but also inspires. In the conditions of modern life, full of stress and artificial food, this is especially important.

And, while consuming wild herbs, you listen to the singing of birds, which call us to their free concerts and gifts of nature, you will feel a sense of happiness, harmony, love for nature and the world around you.

Therefore, conscious nutrition with the addition of wild herbs can bring many benefits to our health and well-being, restoring harmony between man and nature.

Свято життя!

Останнім часом, вже кілька добрих років, так точно, я обираю святкувати життя кожного дня. І дякувати за все, що у мене є, теж.🥰
Дорога, якою я йду надзвичайно цікава, місцями інтригуюча та повчальна. Я добре вивчила і запам'ятала всі свої "граблі", на які постійно наступала, усвоїла урок, тепер є з чим порівняти і йду далі, не зациклююсь на тому, що було, минулому, бо воно вже загул, залишилось по заду....

Я живу за таким принципом уже багато років, хоча звідусіль чую рекомендації: "щастя любить тишину", "Щастя розум одбирає, а нещастя повертає." І т.д.
А ти сама стань щастям!

Життя коротке. В ньому нема часу для суму, страждань, непрозумінь та іншого негативу, завжди обирай бути щасливою! Люди відходять, інші приходять. Такий процес життя на цій чудовій Землі. Ти завжди зустрічатимеш людей на тому рівні, на якому знаходишся сам, чи то на духовному, моральному, матеріальному чи травматичному.

Коли одні люди розвиваються а інші, які знаходяться поряд - ні, вони віддаляються одне від одного. Такий процес розвитку та еволюції і ніякої містики.
Це не обов'язково означає, що ми повинні відчужувати людей, але важливо усвідомлювати, що наше оточення може впливати на наш ріст та розвиток.

Це складний процес але він необхідний для твоєї еволюції. Важливо пам'ятати, що розвиток - це не лише особистий шлях, а й спільний шлях з тими, хто готовий йти разом із тобою.

Health balance or the art of healthy eating.

Breakfast is the first and most important meal and after 3 glasses of warm water you should have a healthy breakfast. It's like pouring good gasoline or oil into a car or washing it in a good car wash.

We are vigilant, because a car is expensive, so it needs to be looked after. Because if you pour, for example oil in your gasoline tank, what will happen to your car? If you don't wash it, clean it regularly, take care of it?

There is one plus in a car, you can replace a spare part. An organ in a person does not change - it is often removed because it is no longer amenable to treatment....

Do you take care of quality food, or do you eat whatever you want?

Скільки різних назв у цієї чудо-рослинки ніжно-жовтого кольору! Так і хочеться зірвати її і покуштувати. І так і треба зробити, тому що ця цілюща за своїми властивостями квітка допомагає при багатьох недугах, а також варто вживати її для профілактики. Що може бути краще за профілактику? Природа нам дає все для доброго здоров'я та гармонії духу.

Первоцвіт знімає спазми м'язів бронхів, посилює активність миготливого епітелію, а відвари з нього здатні знімати жар і спазми. Також препарати первоцвіту мають потогінну і помірну послаблювальну дію. Ліки з рослини надають снодійний ефект і заспокоюють центральну нервову систему.

Препарати первоцвіту використовують у лікуванні ревматизму, неврозів, головного болю, ангіни, безсоння. Корисна трава рослини для терапії зовнішніх крововиливів. Її використовують, щоб позбутися безсоння.

Чому люди бояться лісу і трав? Тому що нам ще в дитинстві нав'язали, що у лісі живе страшний вовк і по травах повзають різні букашки, які можуть, ніби-то, завдати людині якусь шкоду. Та нас просто всіх обманули: людина може завдати набагато більшу кривду, ніж будь-яка тваринка чи рослинка. Довіряйте природі, споживайте її дари, релаксуйте, медитуйте під спів пташок і будете здорові, а як будете здорові, то й будете щасливі.

Світ не проти тебе, він просто грає за твоїми внутрішніми установками та сценаріями.😉
Якщо ти хочеш щось змінити у своєму житті, міняй свої установки, усвідомлюй все, що робиш, і відповідь прийде сама по собі, підказки будуть приходити звідусіль.
Світ навколо нас часто відображає те, що ми носимо всередині. Наші переконання, програми та внутрішні сценарії формують наш досвід і взаємодію з оточенням та навколишнім світом. Коли ми починаємо змінювати ці установки та бути більш усвідомленими в своїх діях, ми можемо помітити, як змінюємось ми і наше оточення.🥰
Цей процес може бути простим або складним, все залежить від твого сприйняття, він може приносити велику радість і задоволення, коли ми починаємо усвідомлювати, що маємо владу над своїм життям. Важливо також пам'ятати про відкритість до нових можливостей, адже зміни часто приходять поступово. Змінне у тому світі все, стабільність - це ілюзія

A person needs so little for happiness, but so much time to understand it.

Have you ever thought about the nature of happiness? A person needs so little for true happiness - simple joys, the warmth of loved ones, harmony with oneself. Often these can be just moments when we enjoy nature, communicate with loved ones or do our favourite thing.

However, to truly realize the value of these simple things, we need a lot of time. We live in a world where changes are constantly taking place, where we are surrounded by many factors that distract us from true values. Often we strive for material things, for success, and in the pursuit of these illusions we forget about what is really important.

This process of awareness can be long and difficult, but it is worth every minute. Ultimately, happiness is not a destination, but a journey that we take, learning to appreciate every moment.

So, it's worth stopping, taking a deep breath, looking around, smiling and recognizing that happiness is already here, right next to us. And perhaps its greatest value lies in this simplicity.

Природа - творець всіх творців.
Казочка про натхнення.

В одному маленькому містечку, оточениму зеленими лісами та блакитними річками, жила була дівчинка на ім'я Лана. Вона була відомою своїми розповідями про сенс життя, психологію, філософію, рослини, магію, призначення людини на тій чудовій планеті Земля та Вселенські закони. Але останнім часом почала відчувати брак натхнення. Кожного ранку вона сідала за комп'ютер, але ідеї для писання не приходили, а уява мовчала. Одного дня, вирішила вона вийти з замкнутого кола і вирушила на прогулянку до лісу. Природа завжди вабила її: спів пташок, шелест листя, аромат квітів - все це було частиною її життя. Вона йшла стежками, вдивляючись у кожне дерево, рослинку та світ навколо, поки не натрапила на старий дуб. Його величезні гілки простягалися до неба, а стовбур був вкритий мохом та лишайниками. Лана зупинилася, зацікавлено розглядаючи дерево. І раптом вона почула голос. Це був Дуб, який, виявляється, умів говорити. "Чому ти така сумна?"- запитав він. Лана зізналася, що не може знайти натхнення для своїх книжок "Ти не бачиш?" - відповів Дуб. "Природа навколо тебе - це найкраще натхнення. Кожен листок, кожна квітка розповідають свою історію. Відчуй їх творчу енергію, прислухайся що вони шепочуть, з'єднайся з ними, уяви, що це твої найцінніші наставники". Вона завжди вважала природу своєю подругою, адже з дитинства проводила там багато часу. Спів птахів, чисте првітря і аромати лісу, наповнювали її спокоєм, любов'ю і вдячністю. Првернувшись до дому, вражена словами дуба, Лана знову почала писати, слова самі лилися з її пера. Вона творила новий роман, який розповідав про красу світу, про цілющі трави, таємницю природи, її магію та їх інтуїтивне використання, про психологію, езотерику, призначення людини у тому чудовому світі та ще багато цікавих речей, які вона вивчала протягом свого життя. Коли роман буде закінчений, вона впевнена, що це творіння стане шедевром і буде надзвичайно прпулярним серед читачів, які зможуть поринути у магічний світ природи та навчитися самостійно зцілюватись. Вона зрозуміла, що справжнє натхнення завжди поруч - у природі, в простих моментах життя, які ми часто ігноруємо, у тиші та медитації. З того часу вона щодня проводила час на природі, щоб черпати нові ідеї. А старий Дуб залишався її вірним другом, нагадуючи, що природа - це не тільки творець всіх творців, але й безмежне джерело натхнення для кожного із нас. І так, казка закінчується, але урок залишається: ми завжди можемо знайти натхнення та мотивацію, варто лише поглянути навколо і відкрити своє серце для краси світу.

Nature

Trust what nature has created, experiment, try. There are no poisonous plants in nature, there are only unusual or too high doses.

Herbal teas, infusions or syrups should be used when you are healthy , this is prevention! This is saturation of the body with various vitamins and minerals. This is rejuvenation of the body at the cellular level, especially when you eat a lot of greens!

Health and love to everyone, love for nature!

Roots of Family and Nature

Nature, plants, flowers, grass  are my love, which my beloved grandmother instilled in me! Only recently have I understood one important thing: everything that is passed down to us by our ancestors must be respected and appreciated. This contains great value and wisdom of the ages, which we need to pass on to our next generations. This is our strength.

Without strong and durable roots, there will be no healthy fruits, or none at all. Our "roots" must be nourished, if they are still alive, and from the remaining roots we draw energy and strength. I am talking about the roots of the mighty Family! All our resources are there. 

The same goes for nature: plant roots have a super powerful healing power, which is why they say among the people: "Whoever takes care of and uses the roots of his own kind or plants has no right to get sick!”  Disease is a made-up term for the destruction of humanity! This word contains fear and suffering. Replace it with another word, and throw this out of your lexicon, and you will be healthy! “Disease is a pathological process that manifests itself in violations of morphology (anatomical, histological structure), metabolism or / and functioning of the organism (its parts)”. This is from Wikipedia.

And how does the organism manage to get sick? Who disrupts its morphology, metabolism and all functions of the organism?

1 - stress;
2 - overwork;
3 - nutrition;
4 - congenital pathology.

The latter always occurs in sick parents, that is, similar things give rise to similar things? The intervention of which factors also contributes to the disruption of all functions of the organism? And what is the point of herbs here?

The answer is found by the one who seeks, the one who values ​​and respects his Kind, the wisdom of generations. Our ancestors knew a lot. They want to carefully erase all this from our memory, precisely because of fear, suffering and various kinds of substances that "brilliant" and inventive people have created, who introduce into our body or recommend or suggest doing it with their own hands.

And we believe everyone except ourselves! Watch the weed, which no chemistry can destroy, except for a while, and then this weed grows further with the same force. You will never eradicate it! And it grows for your good and health, so that you notice it, explore it and heal!

I trust the power of nature.

What about you?

Experience the world

The world is not as you are told about it. The world is as you experience it.

The world in which we live can look completely different in the eyes of each person. Our perceptions of everything are formed under the influence of experience, upbringing, cultural, religious and personal beliefs. This unique combination creates diversity in the perception of the reality in which we live.

That is why I write about it so often. Everything is in our hands!  If you don't like the image, just change the picture, as they say.

When we think about how the world can be different, we have to realize that each of us is the creator of our own reality. For example, for one person, joy can be in simple things - in the smell of a wildflower, freshly brewed coffee or in the warmth of the sun's rays, while another may seek happiness in achievements or new impressions. This difference in perception can lead to misunderstandings in communication, because what is obvious to one person may be incomprehensible or even repulsive to another.

And here the main thing is to learn to accept each person as they are, not to try to convince or remake them. This task concerns everyone personally and individually, as desired.

"We are responsible for those we have tamed," that is, small children or elderly parents, and for ourselves. When we become responsible for ourselves, then we will be happy. Everyone must learn to take responsibility only for themselves and teach this skill to their children and relatives. And the desire comes, sometimes, too late, when a person has one foot in the other world. But this is also right - it is a person's choice that must be accepted and respected.

It is important to remember that our experiences are not the only possible interpretation of reality. They can serve as a guide for us, but it is also worth being open to new ideas and thoughts. The desire to understand what others are feeling helps to broaden our horizons and makes us more sensitive to the needs of others.

Thus, the world is really not as it is described, but as we experience it. This invites us to deeper self-understanding, self-development and empathy, which, in turn, can become the basis for building more harmonious relationships. Allow the other to be different. Learn to listen and share your experiences, rather than imposing your ideas - this can be a path to enriching your life. The practice of gratitude, as always, is recommended!

And the choice is always yours!

Common Yarrow

This is common yarrow, or dog mint. In ancient times, it was called the herb of the Gods or witches' potion. Tea from it restores strength in the hands, gives energy and rejuvenates your organism. This healing herb treats as many as 40 different diseases. It is taken as tea, prophylactically, and is also used as a seasoning for meat, in soups and sauces. It can also be eaten raw. It is recommended to dry it like all herbs, in the shade.

For me, it is also a panacea! If you drink it at least 10 days a year, your health is guaranteed. Your body will be cleansed of excess mucus, the liver will be renewed, the bile ducts and other organs will improve their activity and work like new.

This is a herb that treats atherosclerosis, that is, it cleanses the blood of cholesterol plaques, allergies, asthma, kidneys, stimulates metabolism, which is very necessary for everyone who is over 40 and who, like me, is a little overweight, it is not for nothing that I found this brilliant magic potion.  Because it is known that metabolism weakens with age.

It even helps with various oncological diseases, in interaction with other herbs. Take 1 tsp. pour 200 ml of boiling water, infuse for 15-20 minutes. and drink in 2 doses before meals 20-30 minutes apart. This is for the purpose of both prevention and treatment, only for treatment it must be used several times. For example, 10 days, then a break of 2 weeks and again 10 days. Saturate your body with natural teas from miraculous herbs or green smoothies. Use it for health and you will be happy.

About nature and its value!

Today I introduce to my next panacea, that's right, you probably never heard of this before. It’s Aegopodium podagraria, also known as ‘Queen Yaglitsia’ in Ukrainia. Little known, little is written and told about it, and if they do, it's only about its general properties, not about the sheer magic of this little weed.

This plant regenerates the body at the cellular level, can cope with even the most complex diseases. And also, in the company of other wild plants (herbs), it even heals ‘cancer’. It is important to collect them when they are young, now is a good time to strengthen your body with vitamins and trace elements. For the purpose of prevention.

We walk on herbs, trample them and do not understand what treasures we are passing by. It is difficult for us to bend down to collect them, and even more difficult,  to examine this or that plant, or at least read about it, about its healing, medicinal properties, or simply for prevention.

We are constantly running somewhere! Stop for a moment, take a closer look, try it, don't be afraid. This is not poison, as is imposed on us from other sources, which do not benefit from promoting the benefits of herbs. Our heads have been so "powdered" with artificial food and chemical drugs that we have lost consciousness. What are we running after? For material goods? We earn money in order to do what? To spend it in a pharmacy?

Please, bend down and pluck me, every plant says or shouts: "Explore me!" We have forgotten that no one needs us in this world except ourselves, unless we are healthy and some benefit can be obtained from us. This is what the material world is built on!

I always live in harmony with nature, only this way we can heal a person. If you end up in a hospital, then you have fallen into a mousetrap, you are already a prey, and they can conduct various experiments on you, test their medical products and so on. And most importantly, no one will give you any guarantees. It's funny that at the time of the great destruction of humanity and its replacement by robots you still believe in tablet chemistry and think that it will save you.

Nope! Only the gifts of nature can heal us. Take in the right proportion and, it is the most expensive gift! Nature is power! Nature is life! Nature is the most valuable and expensive medicine in the Universe, for which you need to pay only with time, which they take away from us as best they can and distract us from the main thing!

The longer I live, the more I understand the phrase: time is the most expensive currency in the world!

Gratitude and love part 2

And such a creature lives either in misfortune or in sorrow and is forever dissatisfied with everyone and blames everyone for its failures. But you have to get up, get a great shower or a nice swim or walk: it will immediately bring you to your senses and will constantly temper your strength of spirit. Start with the practices that I wrote at the beginning.

Thank God if there is a woman next to you, it means you are already a MAN! Take her in your arms, take her somewhere to rest, just not 50/50, oh how I love to talk about this topic. Yes, yes, you can actually limit yourself, your beloved, in something, restrictions and discipline will make you a step higher and stronger and the snot under your nose will begin to dry up.

You know, when I had acquaintances with men, when I still lived in Poland and they offer to go to a 50/50 restaurant brought me into ecstasy, in the literal sense of the word. I was still working for money then and I had it, but at such moments I would show such greed that you can't even imagine.

And this is what I wrote about at the beginning. And then I would immediately come to my senses, slap my face with my hands and abruptly and mercilessly say goodbye, no matter how handsome or intelligent I was standing in front of me. Haha, this was my path to my true self. This was that moment of confidence and pride in the way I acted.

No man is a woman, that's right. Usually it was the first and last meeting. And in general, I don't understand that if I want to go out, sit down or eat at a restaurant, I can go with a friend, with my daughter, with anyone, but not with my husband. At that time, I even developed a slight disgust for men, an allergy, I sympathized with them very much but didn't feel sorry for them one bit.

First, listen yo yourself ( PART 1)

I started to think about another and better life many years ago. It was a seed,  which I planted then, and nourished it as best I could: with books, various educational projects, courses, and I even decided to enter the university at the age of 40. I loaded myself with work as best I could, but it took a very long time to germinate due to "adverse weather conditions".

And I even had a business. But all these "dressings" were not in favour of the "seed" that sat in a cold, dried and thirsty earth. It needed to be fed more, watered, and create comfortable conditions for it, but I did not have enough resources for this. "I am here just to survive," I said to myself. "To stay afloat and not drown."

At that time, I was thinking too much, guessing and working too hard. In a word, I seemed to do everything to make the "seed" germinate. And it sat and waited, as I now finally understood, for me to stop and find time to work on myself, and not for status, money and training, which did not bring any results, but only dulled me even more, diverted the true one from myself and forced me to work, although highly paid in which no one gave any guarantees for a happy life.

And I thought that the more realized you are in society, the more certificates, diplomas and experience you have, the happier you will be. Fortunately, I only thought so... But everything that happened in my life was for the good! This is the path that led me to a deeper understanding of myself and my needs.

Over time, I may "grow" to the level of a "guru" and will teach and mentor others who are lost or at a crossroads in their lives. Usually, good mentors are not those who studied for that specialty, but those who have gone through their "bitter" experience, climbed out of their "dark and terrible dungeon" on their own, did not break down and took the "path" righteous, the path of their purpose, and not the path paved and prepared by others.

Although science is a great force, where the result is obtained only by those who have gone their own way, without instructions and advice from other people, but by looking closely and listening to them. As they say: "the wisest teacher is life"!

So one day I made the following decision: I closed down my business, got rid of everything that tied me to the place from which, as I thought at the time, I could not move, filtered my environment, closed myself off from everyone, breaking away from the crazy world and being left face to face with myself.

I began to learn further, to develop, but with what resonated with my soul, not my ego, and just lived, enjoying life, not thinking about material goods and just having gratitude for what I do. Surprisingly, the goods gradually, without much effort, began to come into my life on their own, from various sources. It is also important that I learned to accept them, appreciate and thank them, thank them sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, for everything.


 I, and, probably, most of us, was brought up according to a different scenario, taught, in most cases, only to give, and to take - this was already some kind of taboo, a "bribe". The world is actually rich, and there is plenty of everything for everyone! And in running around and competing for the best job, position, money, we do not see that wealth, because we do not have time...

And now I wake up softly, enjoy my morning coffee with pumpkin milk or the taste of a healthy life with a green smoothie made from spinach or dandelion leaves. I create and create for the benefit of all living creatures on Earth, I go to my favourite work, which brings me more and more benefits, earthly and material.

My memories, and a Facebook post I made in 2024 about a dandelion that I love very much, inspired me to write this story. I make syrup from it, for example, - a lot of syrup, generously sharing with others, and I myself use it almost all year round. Not because I am sick, but to maintain and prevent health. Everyone probably knows about its healing properties and the richness of various trace elements. And the root is generally a panacea! If you dry it a little in a pan and grind it in a coffee grinder, you get a delicious and corrosive coffee, if you add pumpkin milk to it - a drink of longevity! In nature, everything is harmonious!

And I live in this harmony. Material goods = spiritual goods! Harmony inside = harmony outside! Because he who goes against nature goes against himself, from himself! No person has yet made another person happy. You can become happy by discovering your inner treasures and a person is the most terrible plan of nature. There are no other options... An animal can be tamed, trained, a person - for a while. And we believe in human creation (pharma... tion - from the word "farm", and ignoring nature - from the word "Rod" - strength).

But I'm talking about artificial intelligence, and what's strange, for "artificial people". Now even the bodies of the dead take longer to decompose. What does a person eat, consume, what does he fill himself with, what does he listen, read, and the external = internal, how does a person be treated?

And I am writing here about the power of nature, and it is probably already poisoned. But there is always a chance that it is wild and regenerates quickly. The wind blows all the chemistry out of it, and the rain washes it away. Where are we going? Everyone goes where they want, believes in what they want, that is, how much they have "soldered into our heads" that something that does not have a natural origin can save us. I'm talking about the power of nature and its resources, faith, how much external influence, advertising of various kinds and manipulations have made us artificial biorobots that stupidly obey and believe in human creation.

What good can a person create? I'm talking about pharmacists..., farms that already feed animals with artificial pasture have even come up with artificial meat that is printed on a 3D printer, and then they offer it to us. Half-dead animals are eaten by half-dead people. This, I tell you, a terrible hypnosis! Or humanity is slowly coming to an end and soon we will be replaced by robots.

But what can we say about the future, they are already among us. Oh, something carried me away but I wanted to be good, about love and gratitude that works wonders in our lives, about the fact that the right to choose is always yours. And about what kind of world you live in - such a world lives in you. Do you want a different scenario? You can, if you have enough life... If not, you get in line... Don't listen to others, look for it. Life is a path, a search for your ideal place, and it is different for everyone.

Two words

The best and most affordable psychotherapy session! Just two words, 5 minutes of work and you are healthy!

I have used this type of therapy almost all my conscious life. If I didn’t like something, I stopped doing it and that was it, changed my profession, qualifications, went in another direction, went to another city or country and voila…

What are those two magical words? Easy speasy, lemon squeezy: “STOP IT”!

Studying or learning

In this picture, taken about 15 years ago, I am still far from an unhappy woman, although I try my best, putting on many masks, to pretend to be happy

This is a beautiful greenhouse, a botanical garden in Lodz, Poland. This is the time when I studied at the ‘Instytut Zielarstwa Polskiego i Terapii Naturalnych’

Oh, I  seem to have studied at various places. I must belong to the category of people who study all their lives… And, as one brilliant elderly woman said: "Study in winter, study in summer, it’s all the same (and in fact, old people used to say "omnivorous") you will still be stupid in the world."  There is probably deep wisdom in that.

Why did a woman who never studied at school think so deeply? This was once the case in the 1930s: rarely anyone had the opportunity to study at school. You had to "plough" to survive. Although today the situation is identical, only a person has the opportunity to study, and then still has to "plough" to survive, not having time for other worldly goods.

Why am I writing this? Because the famous ancient Greek sage and philosopher Socrates wrote: "I know that I know nothing."

So, "The more I know, the more I understand that I know nothing" and "I only know that I know nothing, but others do not know that either."

And the elderly, ordinary woman, did not even guess in her genius that she was no different from the wise philosopher and, not knowing him, quoted in her own words, and she was also right...

So then I stopped studying, and began to explore all the processes of life and being, the scattering of that knowledge that, disguised and frightened, sits inside each of us. Only rarely does anyone dare to reveal it, because, usually, they do not have the time for it, or lack the courage or desire.

What about you?

Planets and wisdom (part 1)

“Each of your experiences leads you to a deeper understanding of yourself, especially negative ones.”

Today, I only wanted to write this quote down and that's it. However, I got carried away and couldn’t stop thinking and writing anymore. Maybe, that’s the way the corridor of subsequent eclipses affects me, or am I somehow connected and interacting with the energies of planetary changes? Or the cosmos?  Or are retrograde planets affecting me in this way, or am I going along with them, or am I slowing down with them, like, for example, Mercury, which is now retrograde and is my planet by destiny?

Also, my character is a strict and fair like Saturn, the slowest planet and the one who distributes the fruits of karma, according to Vedic mythology and according to the human psychomatrix ! Mercury is the fastest planet, for comparison, so that you understand, Saturn makes 1 revolution around the Sun in 29 years and Mercury makes 4 revolutions in 1 year, what a huge difference, and when it starts to slow down, communication and everything connected with it weakens, and with me it's the opposite.

Maybe that's why all these planets support me. I don't know yet. I always live in harmony with them. As the stars say, they predict that nothing important should be done, no decisions should be made. A long time ago  I even tried to argue with them but that was in vain. Yes, yes, but who am I to argue with the heavenly bodies. They say to rest, relax - I do it, they say to go and see the world - I go, they say to create - I create, and I can create such things, which is amazing. It is not for nothing that I have an harmonious psychomatrix of fate..

If I write down the full date of birth, then at the beginning there is 8 - slow and fair Saturn, who has 17 and 26 - this is also Saturn but which already interacts with 17- 1-Sun, leader and manager, 7- Ketu (16,25), lunar node, mystical planet of transformation and chaos. And 26 - 2- Moon (11,20,29)- it is about relationships, understanding, diplomacy and mysticism and 6 – Venus (15,24), about love, creativity, beauty and temptation. That's how many cosmic energies there is in one person, and you say that a person has an animal instinct. A person is a mystery of nature! And each is unique and necessary. With their own unique talents and abilities!

Well, as a result of my date of birth, after adding all the numbers = 5 - Mercury, also applies to those born on the 14th and 23rd, and here it will interact in 14 - 1 - Sun, (10, 19,28)  - Rahu (13, 22;31), lunar node, mysticism, generator of ideas, freedom and critical thinking, those born in April - are also influenced by the energy of Rahu. 23 - 2 - Moon and 3 – Jupiter ( 12,21,30)the largest planet, the planet of knowledge and wisdom, it is also called Guru, the wisest and most brilliant people but a little "lazy" by their nature, ,because if I know everything, then why would I work? It is  the planet of communication, the speed of making any decisions and changes. And if you look at this, start studying and researching, you can understand a lot and how to act in life, what profession to choose - too. That is, this is the path to knowing the true self, your nature and your destiny

Now I even understand why I was lucky in the second half of my life. Yes, because I came to my senses, realizing that harmony and balance are already inherent in me. But before, I did not know this, did not understand it and constantly stepped on the same rake. Here is Saturn, which slows down all the processes in my life and slows down, and the influence of Mercury accelerates, that is, complete balance and harmony in consciousness is already inherent from the very beginning. So why did I live such a difficult life? And I found the answer to this question.

And the answer is elementary. Yes, because I stubbornly and stupidly stood on my principles and beliefs, which no one needed and thanks to which I embarked on the path of spiritual development. There were many temptations along the way, honestly, it's even embarrassing to write about it, maybe later. This will be a tragicomedy.

And you still doubt who to believe: an astrologer or psychologist. When astrology arose, no one had psychology in mind. And now everyone is so well-read, psychologically shackled and eternally suffering and looking for that "5th corner" in their lives.  And now I've already forgotten about the knowledge that I accumulated, started to reveal and remember the wisdom of my ancestors or maybe for someone it will sound like stupidity, and you also have the right to think so. Because now there are also many legally savvy people who know their rights but do not understand the true rights of the Universe. Your rights, dear people, compared to the Universal ones, are merely smoke at the edge…

So indeed: Each of your experiences leads you to a deeper understanding of yourself, especially negative ones.

Many people don't know this, but today, March 20, is a holiday that can be compared in power to Easter.
Indeed, today is the astronomical beginning of spring. A wonderful holiday! As you know, in spring the days increase and the nights decrease. And on March 20-21, the moment comes when the length of the day and night becomes equal.
The day of the vernal equinox was of great importance to pagan cultures. The celebration of this day was associated with the renewal of nature, fertility and the beginning of a new life cycle.
Pagans often held ceremonies in honor of their gods and spirits of nature to celebrate the return of spring. They had songs and dances that reflected the joy of the arrival of spring. The celebration of the equinox was often associated with rituals symbolizing fertility. People asked for blessings for a good harvest, as well as for health and well-being.
Fire and light symbolized the renewal of life and the energy of the sun. Candles were lit in homes to light bonfires to celebrate the return of the sun and its power.
On this day, special, festive dishes were prepared from seasonal produce, such as young herbs, eggs, and other symbols of rebirth, while observing changes in nature, such as the awakening of plants and animals, as a sign that a new season had arrived.
This day can be a great opportunity for new beginnings and reconnecting with nature.
This day is a celebration of new life and renewal!

So get outside and enjoy the sunshine!

The first player

As you all know by now, yesterday I attended the small but lovely carnival of Dinant, a small town in the south of Belgium. Not only famous because of it’s imposing citadel on top of a rock overlooking the town centre, but also because it was the town of birth of Adolphe Sax, the inventor of the famous saxophone. Yes, that jazzy instrument was invented by a Belgian bloke, albeit when he lived in Paris, in 1846.

Sipping a cappuccino on one of the terrace at the riverside, I suddenly thought of another unicum: right in 1846 there was only one saxophone player in the world: its inventor. Now that’s something to be very proud of as it still is a very difficult instrument to play!

One step beyond!

The Moon

One day Little Joe was walking in the city. He saw a large crowd of people standing near the park, where a wise man was talking. He explained how other planets could influence each and every human.

Joe was listening too, but at the end he was laughing as he thought it was really silly:  astrology did not really sounded logical. Far away planets influencing humans???

After the gathering the wise man walked casually up to little Joe:  “I reckon you don’t believe me”, he said with a broad smile. “That’s correct”, replied Joe. “ To me it’s all mumbo jumbo”.

“Fair enough!”, answered the man. Than he sat down and started a new explanation. “On average the sun is like 150 million kilometers further. And yet it’s radiation heats our planet.”

Little Joe nodded: “Yes, but the sun is really big, enormous”. “Fair enough” said the wise man, “And what about the moon? You know that a full moon literally wakes up lunatics!”. Little Joe laughed again; “Well the moon might be nearby but it’s small and basically a piece of rock. No radiation, so, NO it doesn’t influence me at all!”

Now it was the turn of the wise man to laugh: “Well, little Joe, you know you are about 80% water, like all humans.” “That I know” affirmed Joe, “But so what?”.

“Well” said the old man, “You also know that the moon creates the tides.. So my question to you is: if that little moon can move giant oceans, and if  you are 80 % water, how can you deny that the moon has no influence on you? Compared to the ocean, you are merely a drop of water’’

Little Joe couldn’t answer that question. In fact he was stunned by this wisdom. Indeed, if the moon could raise oceans, it could easily move a small human too…

Seeing the confusion, the wise man smiled: “Well, the same goes for all the planets. It doesn’t matter how far they are and some are closer than the sun to us: they are much bigger than the moon. So no: matter their distance, they do influence you… And don’t forget, start with the moon.”

RED MOON

Today I will tell you a little about mysticism and the mystical full moon, which is called RED MOON and will happen tomorrow on the 14^th March of 2025.

The very name "red moon" can cause fear and tension, especially in the media who call it ‘blood red moon’ and that's where all our troubles and illnesses begin.

You know, I've been studying a lot of subject  for a long time: philosophical, astrological, numerological, esoteric, psychological and religious items.  And during the last few years, I have had the opportunity to observe events, people and their reactions to what is happening.

For example, people who are forever worried about everything, then every negative word passes through them and makes it worse. Here are the terms that we see, read, listen to, the brain captures and directly implements them in life, and we haven't even had time to re-learn it.

Here, for example, the word used in the media "bloody" What association arises, especially now during the war. And how does a person perceive this word? Everyone knows. Negatively…

That’s why my partner and myself we rename such words to other, positive ones. ‘Bloody, for example  will become red or reddish. And why not? Not the association with blood, well, except that some humans claim to have blue blood….

Another example. Astrologers talk so emotionally about the possible consequences of this special full moon… They tell how it can mystically or painfully affect each of us, our relationships with partners and other people.  And then, when a person listened attentively, not understanding that the brain records this information and then embodies it in life, they will  say: “I warned you, so why didn't you follow my instructions?” Result: those people who fanatically believe in something or someone, will suffer forever and will never learn to listen to their intuition. But perhaps this is their purpose in that life.

All influencers and media people do the same thing, subjugate several dozen, hundreds and sometimes even thousands of people and manipulate their emotional and sometimes hypersensitive psycho-emotional state, understanding that during this period, people's emotional states are very sensitive.

Me, from my part, I believe that every human is a part of nature and only nature and its elements can both calm and heal. Always, each of us must have our own choice and in each case agree to something or not, according to our own desire. Yes, yes, suffering is also a choice, even, I would say, a lifestyle, a habit. That’s why a lot of people tend to hide their joys. For example, if I walk around laughing and enjoying my day, sometimes  people around me stare at me with envying eyes, and if they could use some magic spell, maybe they would stop me… In fact this is happening everyday: people don’t want to express positivity because they are afraid…

A few days ago, one knowledgeable woman, whom I follow and listen to her wise instructions with interest, told a very instructive parable:

"The son asked his father: why did great-grandfather work hard, always limiting himself, his wife and children in everything, constantly postponing?

"Because he wanted good for your grandfather."

-Okay, then why didn't grandfather live for himself, always working and postponing?

- But so that your father would be well.

-Dad, why don't you live the way you want, always working, rarely spending time with me, always postponing, not allowing yourself to live in pleasure and limiting us?

The father thought for a moment, and said the same thing: But so that, son, you would have a better life.

To which the wise son replied:

“No, dad, I want to break this little branch of suffering, or the wheel of samsara, which is passed down from generation to generation. I want you to be happy. Because happy parents have happy children” . And from that day on they lived happily, lived a full life, enjoyed every moment, spent a lot of time together and passed these skills on to the next generations.

Let this wise story sink in for a while!

Now back to mysticism, which most people are so panicky afraid of and even avoid that word. The meaning of the word mystic comes from the Greek - "hidden", "secret". Such people, mystics, usually have supernatural abilities, they feel a connection with the otherworldly world, usually if such people develop in that direction, they become spiritual mentors and guides.

Mysticism is a complex and at the same time natural phenomenon that combines religious, philosophical and spiritual aspects. It usually concerns the search for and experience of deep, transcendent truths, transformations or connection with the divine. Mystical practices, for example, are meditations, prayers, rituals, as well as various studies of the inner world of a person.

It is difficult for us, ordinary people, to understand and believe mystics, but they are among us and we should not be afraid of this - it is part of their nature. In different cultures and religions, mysticism has its own characteristics, but in general its goal is to find inner peace and understanding of the nature of being.

And tomorrow, this mystical lunar eclipse will definitely have a positive effect on each of us. It will bring new opportunities, reveal your talents, heal you from some serious illness, oh, I can write about these illnesses forever. Why? Because all illnesses are made up. If you believe you are ill,  according to your belief there will be illness. A person can be sick only if they are born that way or have a lot of stress, or have been intentionally mutilated....

I like to write only about good events, positive emotions and live my life in them, although I understand that this is also an illusion and negative ones also sometimes happen...

But I take myself by the "skin" and pull myself out. Doing something that I have never done before, for example, if I don't have the strength to do some physical exercises, walk, then I just lie down, sit, listen to relaxing music, knit, etc.

The conclusion from that story is that no matter how much shit is thrown at you, you should make compost from it and feed the flower. If you have mystical abilities - develop them and share them with others.

Start tomorrow with a little glance at the red moon.

Strong

Little John thought he was weak so he never went for shopping. Until Biggy the Kid came to live in his town. Biggy met John and asked him to go to the supermarket. But John refused: “It is of no use as I won’t be able to carry anything”.

Biggy burst out in laughter: “Thet call me Biggy but you are like 2 meters long and 2 meters wide and you think you are weak???? Well let me tell you: We are as strong as we think and we are as valuable as we think.” So let’s go.

From that day on John enjoyed doing a lot of shopping.

The sunset

Somewhere on the edge of the horizon, where the sky meets the azure of the mighty sea, the sunset paints the world in colours and dreams, reminding us that every ending is a new beginning, a magical moment when the day bends toward the sky. Water becomes a mirror, a path to dreams that float to infinity. This is the end of one fairy tale and the beginning of another.

At times like these, I often evaluate my life, my dreams and my hopes and realize that life is a constant change, where every new day can be an inspiration for a new, different beginning or phase in life. For me, it is a feeling of transformation and infinity.

I feel grateful to see this beauty and the manifestation of infinite love for this wonderful world. It is a process that repeats itself daily, but impresses with its daily new masterpieces.

As free as the sea

She went to visit her dad who lives on the other side of the country. Setting up her journey early in the morning she was supposed to be back home in time for diner. But her partner D.L., as always stricken by a flash of intuition, knew that this was not a plan, not a promise but only a first impression of the day ahead.

So at 8 p.m. when the darkness was already set, D.L. phoned to hear what was going on. Did he have to eat the soup or wait for her? As soon as she picked up the phone, he knew the answer: she had driven her dad and a friend to the sea to watch the sunset.  D.L. smiled, ate the soup and wrote another story.

Inspired by the song of Snow Patrol ‘Run’, where the second verses are:

"And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here."

She is as free as the sea and that’s why D.L. loves her and does everything to ensure that freedom for her.

The Fox and the Grapes (Eusopius rewritten)

Once upon a time a fox, hungry and tired, came across a vineyard. Huge bunches of grapes hung on the vines, shining brightly in the sun. The fox came closer and began to jump, trying to get the grapes. But, despite all her efforts, he could not achieve the desired fruits.

After several unsuccessful attempts, the fox, tired and disappointed, sat down under the vineyard and started thinking. One hour later he looked up at the sun, smiled and walked back home to get a good night sleep.

The following day he spent in his garden, resting and reading his Facebook messages. In the evening he went back to the vineyard where the farmers had already started manufacturing great wine. The fox smiled and went back home again.

The next day the fox got up very early, strolled to the shed near the vineyard and grabbed a few bottles of fresh wine. The  farmers had protected their chicken house with special wires, but nobody had thought of protecting the shed.

So at the end the fox was happy. Sometimes you just have to wait for transformations and everything will be fine.

The laws have changed

As now,
All the laws of the world have changed
the main currency is energy
The most important reference point
is the response in the heart
The most important time
is today
The most important feeling
is love
The most important state of mind
is gratitude.
The most important position
is the position of the Creator, not the victim
Increase your energy
invest it in creativity,
in healing yourself,
your body, do not waste it in vain,
on empty talks, comments
or supporting negativity
Be on the side of the light,
but do not forget
that darkness is also an integral part of each of us,
if these two sides are in balance,
everything is fine
After the longest night comes the day,
and after the longest day comes the night

Old wars, New ruins

Last week I visited the  ruins of a 900-year-old monastery in the small city of Villers-la-Ville.. It is an impressive place in Belgium that immerses visitors in the history of medieval architecture and spirituality. This Benedictine monastery, founded in 1146, was once an important centre of religious life and culture. Today, its ruins impress with majestic arches, walls and remains of cells that testify to the greatness of the past.

The place is surrounded by picturesque landscapes that create an atmosphere of peace and meditation, which makes it popular among tourists and pilgrims. Visiting the ruins of the monastery allows you not only to enjoy the architectural beauty, but also to understand the history of the region more deeply, to touch its greatness and to breath the past.

Such places always inspire me to reflect and rethink the present in which we live.  Indeed, from the dawn of time , there have been wars, with lots of buildings and monuments destroyed and then rebuilt or replaced. And today, as I write, I can say that humans don't change, history repeats itself... Fight and revenge are in our heads... All this is at the level of animal instinct, survival at the best... When will we become highly spiritual people?

And our history will be studied in some remote future and I wonder why! To repeat itself? While writing these very words I  suddenly understand why I  never liked history in school. Why it stressed me so much, especially when I had to memorize different dates of battles. I cried constantly and asked myself why I was stuffing my head with that garbage.

And now in adulthood I come to such a rethinking. As long as there is a struggle in each of us, we will not be able to live freely and in love. And we will go on destroying beautiful places like this monastery.

We did not come to this Earth to fight, We divided this wonderful planet into states, set borders and still need to have permission for a place under the sun. Well, is this an illusion or is this a reality?

And somewhere high up, the minority who rule everything and decide how we should live, are also humans and they are also temporary on this Earth. We do not know what future awaits us, but I hope that our future generation will be wiser and will begin to live in love, kindness, mutual respect, understanding and support.

Why waging a war? Because it is a profitable business, everyone is busy with some kind of work. Some create weapons, and for what? To protect against whom? And others sell them. And medicines, and other destructive developments. Sometimes the genius of a person lies in his stupidity, no matter how sad it may sound.

We always take something from someone, we behave like thieves, where in which countries is this done legally, for what? They make idiots and guinea pigs out of us. Just to get rich? If it were up to ordinary people nothing would be the same

And yet in wars, humans like to be victims, like pawns, while they fail to see that they serve to please someone? The rulers? To take care of the future generation? And will they need it? This, you know, reminds me of my friends and relatives who build huge houses, with the hope that their children and grandchildren will live there. And the children or grandchildren happily sell this property for a penny and arrange a life for themselves where they like.

These people in power never get enough. It is for them that the common people give their lives, which have no value. It is time to wake up all together and show what power the people have, not to let themselves be manipulated, not to listen to what intrigues they weave. All this is a script written long ago. Time to stop playing along!

Live and enjoy life, create paradise instead of hell. And you will be happy

Energy

Where attention goes, energy goes. You attract, what you think about. Let me explain it with two examples.

First the car. One day my partner bought me a blue car. Cobalt blue to be precise. After that day,  wherever we went or drove, we constantly came across cars of the same  colour. We had  the impression that all cars around us were blue, only the shades were different. This sounds like a paradox, but it is really true.

Here is another one: the house in which we live now, is a spitting image of a plastic model I once bought at a market in Warsaw!  So in fact now we live in a copy of that small kit; it’s is identical, with all the details.

There is more… It was on a Saturday morning that my children and I decided to go to the market. It was there that my now deceased son noticed this small house, in the shape of  a box that you could open:   an advertisement for Lavaza coffee. At that time he dreamed of living in such a house, it just so happened that he did not live long. I believe that he now has such space, such freedom, that we can only envy. The body is a temporary shell, it's like clothes that get old over time and we leave it, or we grow out of it, buying new ones and thus moving to another level, branded clothes, for example, or vice versa, it all depends on the merits of our soul. The soul is energy and it is eternal.

And the merits of our soul are extremely simple, to live, love, create and enjoy life.

This prompted me to rethink my perception of life, death and what is important. Death, which everyone is so afraid of, is just a transition from one dimension to another, it's just time in the dressing room to change into another "outfit", another role. Or not, it all depends on the merits of a person. Maybe he will never have to incarnate in another body again, go down to that wonderful planet Earth, and live on another planet, which they call paradise.

I had already forgotten about this house, to be honest. So many years had passed by. But after I detected the similarities, in 2024 I took the box  to my son's grave, in the city of Nowoyaworivsk in Ukraine. I don't know if it's important or right. In my life, I've never really listened to anyone, that is, I listened, but I did it my own way, and that's how I ended up in another country. I

Well, when we were once again looking for a house, not an apartment, I wanted to have a piece of my own land to grow some vegetables, for example, flowers, I love this business.

It's an interesting process when you plant a seed with your own hands and a vegetable grows from that small seed. But here in Belgium there are different rules for renting houses, the owners usually do not allow to spoil the herbalists, or you can redecorate, but when you move out, you have to leave everything as it was, such rules.

Actually, we plan to move again, to another place in another city, it is so interesting. In my life I have changed many times not only the place or city of residence but also the country, I can't get used to it. And you know how useful it is, neural connections are restored, unnecessary things are immediately sorted out and disappear, new impressions, emotions are boiling, the unknown beckons, I immediately want to live somewhere else. I even want to change my style of dressing and hairstyle.

That is, something like this is attracted, because my partnerhas also moved many times in his life (five countries and 25 different places). And for us it is normal.

But you know, to be honest, it seems like something stable is already happening, but not to be mistaken, because stability is an illusion, and since we are constantly changing our homes, for us it can be "like a comfort zone" in which we can stagnate for a long time. Because you know, over the years we do not get younger.

And what do you think about this? If we focus on creating a new space, how much energy will be enough? Is a "comfort zone" still better? Although we can build a "comfort zone" anywhere!

It all comes down to find a peaceful energy field.

My Mousey Car

As long as I live, I will remember.  One day back in the summer of 2021 I drove from Belgium to Ukraine. First I stayed in my hometown near Lviv, then I went to visit family in Rivne, 300 km further

I took the fastest way, so I drove through the fields and forests. Back then I was an inexperienced driver and thought that you could drive everywhere by car, like a tractor.  So at a certain point my Renault Modus (nicknamed MOUSEY) got stuck somewhere in a field. Probably a potato field as I was stuck in clay. Luckily with the help of a farmer and his giant tractor I was able to get back on the normal road.

Luckily I  always approach all the adventures that happen in my life with humour. Well, that was a lesson, no more Rallies, now I stay far away from such fields by car.

And so should everything be in your life: if you take every adventure or mishappen as a lesson, you thank, of course, for the precious lecture and move on with new knowledge and experience. And you don't reproach yourself, you don’t blame yourself for all your sins, you don’t have to regret a thousand times why you did it this way, and not differently. Why reproach yourself, it's already happened, so I  manage to find a solutiont and well,  there I went on to new adventures.

Don’t get me wrong, at that moment it was such a strange adventure that when I think about it, it was really scary too. UI had to leave my car in the fields and search for help! By the time I found the nearest village, I came to the first house, knocked, all covered in mud, people were so scared and immediately turned away, said they wouldn't give me any money, they thought I was some kind of beggar.  And when I finally found that friendly farmer driver, I forgot where I left the car!!!

It's only now that I'm writing about it so simply and funny. The tractor driver and I drove around all the fields in the neighbourhood, I already thought that I would have to hitchhike home because in that village, I forgot the name, the bus only ran 2 times a day on weekdays and only 1 time on Sundays. An hour of searching passed and, oh my goodness, the car was finally found.

The tractor driver turned out to be a very kind-hearted person, he and his wife invited me to their house, offered me tea, the woman even washed my shoes, we talked, and blessed me for a happy journey. It's so nice to realize that there are people with big hearts and sincere souls in this world. If I'm in those parts, I will definitely visit this wonderful family again. It was in the Rivne region near the village of Myatyn, but as it turned out later, there are two villages with that name in this region, but in different districts. So there you are: it will be a brand new adventure, only to find those people back.

Today, on this mildly snowy day, I suddenly remembered my trip to the mountains of Zakopane, almost a year ago. Without any training and preparation, I wanted to walk and climb to a height of 1800m. Such was the promise to myself and well, once I gave my promise, I knew nothing would stop me.

I barely managed the trip, especially as emotions were off scale, with joy and pride. The energy was simply incredible, I don't know at what frequencies I was vibrating at, but as my brilliant and wise partner sometimes reminds me, wherever you go, always remember that you have to come back. So every distance has to bee doubled!

But me, once I set a goal I don't see any obstacles. Well, if it had been full summer and a little warmer, I would definitely have stayed there and spend the night. But unfortunately it was still spring and chilly; moreover it started to rain so eventually I had to go back. From that trip I have learned that descending a mountain is much harder than climbing it.

I slowly started heading down, fell, got up, and went on. I got wet to my underwear, in the literal sense of the word. At an altitude of 1600m there was a coffee shop! I felt so lucky! I went in to rest, had a snack, drank some hot tea and then went on because I had to catch the last bus. But be assured, next time I’ll go by car!

The lower I went, the more tired and strained my legs felt, they trembled and gave way, I thought only about one thing, how I would get up in the morning and whether I would get up at all, since it was the last night at my hotel and the next day there were no places left. And here the thoughts started swirling in my head. Which once again proves the fact how important it is to learn to stop those swirls in your head in time!

And I thought that when I arrived at the hotel, I would immediately warn everyone at the reception that if I didn't get up, they should help me get to the car, take out my things and tell the whole story that happened to me.

And then I realized that my brain is so smart and is imposing something completely off topic on me and I said STOP. I decided differently and during the whole way, riding the bus, which I barely managed to catch, I repeated this affirmation: “My legs will regenerate quickly, I will calmly go to bed and during sleep my whole body will recovers, all processes in the body will be adjusted. My muscles, which I overloaded, also will regenerate quickly. I am healthy and happy, I set off on a new day and new adventures. My world takes care of me and gives me everything I need for my goodness and health. During sleep, my body rests and heals.”

I repeated these affirmations until I fell asleep and almost missed my stop. The driver woke me up, reminding me that I had to get out, and then.... I barely managed to get up from the chair, and just don’t know how I managed to reached the hotel, but I did!

I eventually reached my room, went to bed, repeating my favourite affirmations, though, I first smeared my feet with essential oils, I don't remember which ones, but I always have them with me.

And, oh my goodness, I woke up rested, satisfied, and went on to live my wonderful life. And now I really understand that every trip is not one way, so you do really have to double the time!

The wise owl

Once upon a time there was a girl named Lana. She lived in a magnificent and peaceful  kingdom. She was always happy, because she knew that life offered her endless possibilities. Lana worked as a massage therapist, healing people's bodies and giving them a sense of harmony and peace.

However, one day, after many years of work, she realized that she wanted to change her life. She felt that she longed for new challenges and creativity. So she started to think about changes. Now she has always been a good storyteller. Her friends and clients loved hearing her stories, and eventually everyone around her started calling her "the storyteller." This nickname inspired Lana to develop a new idea: she decided to write fairy tales. Her dream was to create a series of stories that would bring joy and inspiration to others.

And so she began working on her first book, which she called "Tales from a storyteller". She filled countless pages with charming stories about heroes who overcame difficulties, found love and true happiness.

One day, when Lana was writing by the window, an old and wise owl visited her. The owl, noticing how the girl glowed with energy, asked: "Why are you so happy, my young friend?" Lana told the owl about her affirmations, her new purpose, and how she wanted to share her stories with the whole world. The owl smiled and said, "Your faith and positive thoughts are the magic that changes the world around you. Your tales will bring joy to many, and this will become a reward to you."

Lana soon published her book and it became very popular in the kingdom. People came from all over the place to hear her stories. Lana not only found a new path in life, but also secured the financial wealth she had dreamed of for so long.

She realized that some divine order supported her affairs and that love and generosity always return favours. Lana continued to write new fairy tales, and her heart was filled with gratitude. She learned that true wealth lies not only in material possessions, but also in the ability to share one's talent and inspire others.

Every day, Lana became richer ,not only financially, but also in her soul. She lived happily, creating miracles around her, and her story inspired many other people in the kingdom to believe in themselves and their dreams.

And every night, the owl stood in the tree near her house and watched her working with a big smile.

Simple Life

It was on a beautiful Wednesday evening. Lana was returning from work in town centre, when she came across an old library, hidden between some brand new skyscrapers. She went inside and immediately felt a coziness, something that she had not felt for a long time. The books stood on the shelves like old friends waiting for her. She took one out at random and started reading.

After that day, Lana began to spend all of her evenings among the pages, exploring new worlds, until she noticed that each story reminded her of the forest, of the plants and trees that had so carefully cared for her.

She started thinking a lot about these memories. So it wasn’t a coincidence when she stumble upon a very old fairy tale about a storyteller who travelled between several worlds. Those journeys lead to the discovery that true happiness does not lie in material possessions, but in the ability to appreciate the simple joys of life.

Once she finished that story, Lana suddenly understood that the old forest, had always been her one and only home; so she decided to go back. Gathering all her strength, she set off on her journey, full of determination. When she found herself among the trees again, her heart was filled with joy. The plants greeted her like an old friend, and she realized that nothing had been lost.

Lana went on building a cozy hut, using modern technologies that she learned about in the city. She installed solar panels for heat and began collecting herbs for magical potions. Every day, she reconnected with the natural world, learning from the plants about their wisdom and power.

Eventually she became a storyteller who knew how to combine modernity with ancient traditions. With her newfound knowledge, Lana began sharing tales of the forest with others who, like her, were seeking happiness amidst the hustle and bustle of city life. She invited them to her home to show them how the world of technology could be combined with nature.

Of course, this was not some new knowledge, but wisdom which was passed down from grandmothers, parents and other generations. If you believe in reincarnation, then this is probably all retrieved from a previous life wherein Lana was a knowledgeable herborist. That would also explain why at the end she did return to the forest.

All said and done,  Lana finally realized that true happiness is not a place, but a state of mind. She became a bridge between two worlds, giving people the opportunity to find harmony and joy in simple things.

And Lana's fairy tale continued, adding new pages to her life every day…
