Daniela is one of the few people who inspires, soothes, brings calm, but also radiance. She is reserved, but charming at the same time. I have wondered over the years how she manages to transmit this energy from the first second you are in her presence. Because once you start talking to her, she mesmerizes you and you feel like you don't want her to leave your side. It's only now, after many years, that I understand.
It all started with her grandmother, with whom she grew up.
The morning began with washing the girl with the dew on the flowers, often basil, because her grandmother told her that the Mother of God stood there on her knees or the Lord Jesus and cried all night, so she would have dew to wash.
The evening would end with the lighting of the candle, with the adoration and the ever-present basil on the head. She had many rituals that she somehow planted in Daniela and each one surfaced when she needed it most in life. Therefore, she considers that the education she received from her grandmother was defining in many ways.
After high school, he spent some time in a monastery. Not much, but enough to make it clear what he wanted, what he was looking for and who and where to look when he wanted to find out something.
Her search in the years that followed led her through monasteries where she met monks, nuns, those so-called masters who gave her the right stories at the right times. All of this has had an imprint in defining her as a human being.
He had contact with many religions, many rituals from different areas: "All the meetings with masters from whom I have learned therapies, rituals, massages, all have defined me as a man. I have received precious teachings, teachings that are of great use to me both in my knowledge and in my activities".
She has learned to draw lessons from every event. She has learned to discover and learn to accept herself as she is. Sometimes it happens spontaneously, naturally, sometimes she needs to understand situations.
Most importantly, she has learned not to hurt others and not to hurt herself. She sits quietly in her pew when she doesn't know what to do and asks for guidance beyond herself.
She felt that she wanted to help, that she was made to work with people. After high school she attended a 3-year post-secondary health school. During her schooling, even though she was following full time courses, she also worked in a family doctor's office, then for a few months in dentistry, and in the hospitals of Turnu Magurele and Alexandria. He remained in the medical field until 2006.
In 2006, she joined a center with recovery and remodeling machines. It was called Le Chic Estetique & Sun.
In 2007, she went for an interview at Eden Spa. It was her first contact with a spa and everything seemed out of another world: in the background an Enya song, it smelled very nice, she still remembers the smile and kindness of the girls at the reception, the meetings with Liliana Paraipan, Ada Cirap and Mihaela Ungureanu.
At Eden Spa she learned her first massage techniques and there she felt for the first time that massage is a whole therapy that goes beyond the physical, palpable world. She couldn't explain much at the time. He worked mechanically, then with feeling, then mechanically again, a combination of everything he was, felt, thought.
She fell in love with spa rituals, her colleagues, her clients, everything and everyone around her.
At the same time, she also worked as a babysitting assistant. She nursed babies and children with health problems. This experience led her to feel and give a lot of love in addition to medical acts.
In 2009 he started a collaboration as a therapist and trainer at Om Shanti Spa, where he wrote the first spa protocols, the first copyrighted manual, registered with ORDA.
Her first job abroad was as a therapist in Evian les Bains, in 2011. There he exchanged experiences with therapists and trainers from several countries.
It worked during a season when an annual golf championship was being held. The guests were mainly golfers from Emirati families. "They were memorable experiences in therapies, I call that period as my baptism into Ayurvedic therapies working on people of different faiths. Each therapist in the team developed a technique of intuitive massage work, putting into this technique, the basic knowledge of Ayurvedic therapies. I was allowed to develop the segment of therapies for pregnant women and to improve the massage called "Osmosis", a complete pampering for the two in the hands of the therapist".
She then joined BuddhaBar Spa, now B'Attitude Spa. After several sessions of seminars at BuddhaBar, the main trainer at the time, monk Lama, officially announced that he was preparing her to become a trainer in his place, as he was preparing his retirement. It came as a surprise to her and the whole team: "I thought I was in a big mess, but in fact it turned out that everything that followed afterwards, made my life manageable and so I was able to embark on wonderful professional and personal journeys.
I continued as a trainer in the BuddhaBar Spa centers, where I was also involved in pre-opening consulting, setting up, interviews and so I saw and participated in what is behind the scenes, the work before opening a spa. However the area that I developed and really enjoyed was and still is working with therapists, being directly involved in recruitment, interviews, team building, seminars, assessments, menu development.
A few years of traveling followed, until 2017. But in those years, she also had periods where she held seminars and spa centers in Romania. She always had the desire to share in the country what she gathered and learned in so many places: "I often felt like an exploding barrel of information in the field of body therapies. After the seminars in the country, I would then happen to learn something else on another trip and so life has taken me through a series of beautiful synchronicities. The most difficult moments before a return to the country were the ones when I was proposed to stay in that location. Almost every spa center came with the proposal to stay in a certain position for a long time, or at least for a season of 1 year."
She has continued to train and explore both the spa therapies themselves and where their study takes her: "A master from whom I learned Tibetan Ayurvedic therapies told me to assume that I am a trailblazer and that I will figure it out someday.
And I understood what it means in my life, how the roads open up in me when I accept something, when I forgive, when I love, when I live fully with all my being what I do, when I put there from the level of intention all that I feel I am at that moment.
And then I saw that living openly in that way, it becomes infectious, it opens the way for the one on the left, and the one on the right, and the one who just pokes their head in the door and smells a little bit of that energy. And even to those who are just sniffing so unbelieving in what they're telling or doing. It's just that with each one the roads open in different forms, at different times, following different stages, because each one has its own unique path".
Daniela is "the one who caresses souls" as a Romanian monk told her:"I chose to eat with these hands and do it all, as I am in that moment, without filters. I think we're here flowing into each other, just as we are. Who we are, we find out if we allow ourselves to simply follow that flow. That I choose to find out about who I am flowing in the form of touch is a simple choice".
After my first jobs at Eden Spa and Om Shanti Spa, followed the Egoist Wellness Medical Spa, where I developed a segment of relaxation therapies introduced alongside the menu of remodeling machines and all sorts of other medical therapies.
A beautiful collaboration was also at Eliade Medical Spa Clinic, where I created the menu and some internal protocols for the whole team, then I worked as a therapist in a small office, in parallel with seminars in various locations.
Spa centers where I have held seminars and in most of them I have collaborations nowadays, I have developed the menu, I have designed protocols for the whole team: Country Spa (Snagov), Shakti Center (Bucharest), Marina Regia Imperia Spa (Mamaia Nord), Sun Garden Resort (Baciu, Cluj), Ana Aslan Health SPA Hotel Europa (Eforie N), Ana SPA @ Ana Hotels Sport (Poiana Brasov), Spa Bucharest (Balotesti), Poppea House (Braila), Orhideea Health & Spa(Bucharest), Lotus Spa (Otopeni and Bucharest), Un Baiat si o Fata (Campulung Muscel), Tribute Salon by George Soare (Bucharest), Sandal Spa (Bucharest), Hotel Dumbrava(Bacau), Centrul Izvor de Sanatate(Galati), Pescariu Sports & Spa(Bucharest), Serenity Wellness(Mogosoaia), Clayre's Studio by Ana Savovici(Craiova), Trey Sys (Targoviste), The Spa Hilton(Sibiu), Riserva Wine Spa Ramada(Oradea)...
In addition to these spa centers, we also held trainings in smaller centers, body maintenance salons, relaxation therapy salons and offered guidance to therapists who opened small practices on their own, or in collaboration with other colleagues.
A beautiful collaboration I had with Viorel Mihai, Shiatsu teacher, together we taught in BIOS School, we trained several groups of massage technicians (according to the nomenclature of professions in Romania). It was an interesting experience, from which I learned a lot of what means the teaching program in a school, time organization, internal logistics. I met Viorel by going to a Shiatsu course taught by him.
For a few years I have a collaboration with a massage school, this is Biofocus Center in Bucharest, where I have an annual program of seminars, in which I teach advanced massage techniques, which are useful for those who finish the basic massage courses in the school, but many therapists come to the courses from outside the school. In the last two years I have had the surprise to have several doctors, eager to enter the world of body therapies and therapists from outside the country attending the seminars.
Patience, acceptance, shared stories, jokes, serious play when needed.
I often create scenes, postures in which each participant can see the role he/she plays in the team, to see the strengths that come to the surface, to learn from the uniqueness of each other. This makes us all to live each seminar period as a family, to see ourselves as we are, to see our hidden parts, to bring to the surface our wounds, to want to heal and to choose the right ways to do so.
What I offer during the seminars, is a working basis, there are certain techniques that have a solid basis, to this I put my mark, then each therapist adds his uniqueness and finally from the hands of each one results a different therapy. The idea is to use that base as valuable information and build on it, not to copy from each other and robotize.
I was often surprised on the threshold of a seminar to find out that there were written resignations, that some of the therapists wanted to leave the team, situations in which I found real wars on the spot and I wondered where I had landed and what I had to do, I was still holding a seminar, or there were other reasons.
I've learned that every "character", including myself, is in the right place at the right time of manifestation and always sifting a team is just like sifting sand through a sieve.
Just as therapists say that I model them, or help them to get to know themselves through seminars, so can I say that each of them helps me to transform myself and with them all sorts of revelations take place in me.
I've learned that no matter how much or how often in the past I have said "I could have done it differently" or "I should have done it this way and not that way", I actually did exactly what was best, right for me at the time, I was exactly where I was supposed to be, or where I had something to learn from, and no matter how painful certain experiences were, I now believe that if they hadn't existed, I might have stood still and not moved forward.
I've learned to live exactly the story I'm currently in without regret and I've learned to look at the stories people tell with detachment and thus see more segments of the story, not just the facet on my side.
I have learned that each person is in the right place and plays exactly the right role for me and those around me at that moment, even if it is sometimes annoying and hard to understand what that means. Every human is doing such an important "something" in every place they exist at any given moment, even if it's just the simple fact that they just happened to pass by, or just glanced at someone.
I have learned that whatever I dislike about myself, until I pass that something through a filter of acceptance, I have no way of saying that I love that something, or that I thank it for existing.
I have learned to accept my fears, my sorrows, my grievances, to see them mirrored in those in front of me and to have the patience to let myself react as I feel in that moment, without hurting those around me.
And I have learned that many good things I can build from the dark part of me and that it can be my best friend, the darkness that I was once so afraid of because I didn't have the inner understanding of what that darkness is.
I have found that I can accept with a certain ease what I see in front of me, without judging and without giving opinions.
I spend some time in between travels at a house in the country, where I moved almost five years ago. I have short periods sometimes 2-3 days but also longer periods when I live here and I take care of the garden, flowers, I spend a lot of time in the yard, I go to the hills, there are periods when I go to pick plants, it's a treasure this area.
I love flowers, in the spring I fill the porch of the house with flowers, colorful flowers flow everywhere, the house looks blooming, so does the yard and I feel reborn every morning when I walk through them.
During this time I also occupy my time with some written projects for the spa centers, read as much as I can. I like the rest and I like the feeling of just sitting like this in a stay with no program and no questions about what to do next. During the periods when I spend more time in the country, I am visited by grandchildren, who fill my yard and house with joy and we gather beautiful memories.
The days of seminars, it means first of all trips to the places where they take place, I drive a lot and I like it, then I go according to the program of each spa, and if it does not exist, we organize it together and we are in a learning program, combined with continuous shaving, I call it a program with "big and small repairs".
Everyone has something to fix in the meantime.
These days we live somewhat like a family, in which everyone plays the role of a family member, I like to spend as much time with them, to listen to their stories, to share my stories with them. So we discover together that sometimes they knew almost nothing about each other, even though they had been working together for years, beautiful friendships are initiated, they become more responsible for their own actions, words, thoughts.
There are certain therapists who after a seminar write to me, ask me questions, ask me for guidance in certain directions and so the seminar does not end with my departure from them, but continues and part of the time is spent in online discussions or meetings with them, when possible.
Sometimes it seems to me that I do the same things for days on end, but in essence every day is different, with different people, even the places I end up are different every time, although they are well rooted, every day at the spa is different from other days.
I can't really say that I am motivated by anything in particular, or that I need motivation to do anything. Most of the time I initiate an action simply because it comes to me out of a spur of the moment, or after ideas that come to me through dreams that have guided me through life.
In my work with myself, I am mobilized by the desire to get to know as many parts of my soul as possible, to enrich with new experiences and new feelings, what I call soul.
In working with groups of people in seminars, the notion of beauty puts me into action. Every moment where I see how one develops and evolves, how one brings out the beautiful and blossoms in a unique way, can be called a motivational moment for those around me who witness and have the eyes to see the whole process.
It moves me every moment I find out and see clearly what I have to do in a place, besides teaching a massage technique.
I lived such a story in Senegal, at BuddhaBar, in a team of girl therapists, there is a boy who helps the team with cleaning, housekeeping and other useful things. This boy stalked me a few days in a row, I surprised him watching what was happening in the seminars and he came to tell me bravely that he wants to learn.
He did not ask me how to make him learn, but told me directly and firmly that he wanted to learn. I caused a small uproar when I announced that I wanted to take him to seminars. After a few days, I got approvals from everywhere, so I managed to set up a program for him in my spare time and on days when he had little work, or finished the program, I quickly found a model and we spent a few hours every day and after almost three weeks he learned a basic massage and a few other therapies in the hammam, getting for him a diploma with a right to practice.
His life has changed on all levels and the life of those in the spa and the approach to therapists by those in management and much more.
A few years have passed and she still sends me a touching message on Women's Day: "Daniela, I thank your mother, because thanks to her, I had the opportunity to meet you and to be what I am today!". It seems to me such a statement that cuts across many dimensions.
In the same way I proceeded with mister Coach trained in Thai techniques in my spare time, so that he could go to the USA to specialize and then become a great instructor of fitnness, real African Zumba and other sports. These events have motivated the team and have elevated themselves a lot personally, professionally, financially.
I've collected many such stories through my seminar journeys and realized that beyond karmic payoffs, destiny, etc, they were made possible by flashes of the moment. Maybe in other terms they can be called motivational states...
I had many satisfactions. In the field of spa, I remember now with fondness the first satisfaction, when a gentleman, a client at a ritual, in which I exfoliated, wrapped, washed, massaged, in complete silence, over two hours, in which I felt like I was torturing him a little, at the end he explained to me in detail, how he felt that "I worked on the music inside him", how he felt that inner music and that every touch, step, gesture, movement, breath of mine was one with that music, neither before nor after, but one with it.
It was the first immaterial satisfaction, I felt that I had received something great, even greater than he had described to me.
And it was also then that I wished so deeply in myself that I could feel something like that, to get such an experience. And I experienced it for the first time in Budapest, with a therapist that I had to train to become a coordinator and a trainer in the spa team and after a long period of time that we spent a lot of time together, I had to evaluate her and I was the guinea pig. And she gave me that something to that music. I've seen what it's like to be glued to someone on all levels for days on end and what the result is.
The story was also linked to a professional satisfaction, because this girl had a beautiful path in that place, then she followed her way to others. It was a continuation of the success of long ago, because stories flow like continuations, they have no finality.
I have met many therapists who say that they want to feel how they are massaged, that is to say to be massaged so that they can feel exactly what it is like to be touched when they massage someone. I think the wish needs to be phrased a little differently, to want them to feel themselves as they are when someone massages them.
I am gratified when therapists I met perhaps years ago call or write to me and tell me how they have realized that a word or a touch they received in a seminar changed their lives. I don't remember much of what they tell me, but it fills me with fulfillment and satisfaction.
I feel good when those touched in some way by therapies, solve certain problems, especially when it comes to health, children.
Besides working in seminars, I have vacations in wonderful places, often I have extended my stay in certain locations, to enjoy a time to visit and learn as much as possible about the history, culture of the place, walking at walking pace. I love stories and I like to tell them afterwards in seminars, to bring that energy of the place when I tell what I experienced.
I feel that a great accomplishment is that I love what I do and every activity that I do with pleasure enriches me.
I can't define in the form of a "prize" a certain achievement, but I can say that each new seminar, where I meet new people, or where I see the transformation and evolution of those I know and tell me from their stories of dealing with guests, these are all achievements.
A great accomplishment I feel is also the fact that some therapists carry on what they have learned through me and that they give as they feel, in their own unique way.
The spa protocols and manuals are a beautiful achievement, they have unraveled the work in many places, disciplined the teams that needed it and motivated many therapists to take up the study and to want to know, to find out what is beyond a touch on the conscious plane.
Behind a massage maneuver, which seems so banal, there is a whole book of explanations related to its actions, its benefits in all the structures of the person who receives it, of the one who gives it, of those who watch, of the space in which it manifests itself and this string goes on.
I believe that the string of realizations involves everyone, both the giver and the receiver, and then gives on and transforms everything around. If I were to summarize my accomplishments, there would be a whole list of names, an accomplishment involves everyone who has been a part of my experiences, starting with my parents, grandparents, family, friends, colleagues, all the people who have been through my life.
Profesional, dar si in plan personal, decizia de-a incepe pregatirea prin initierile ayurvedice tibetane, fara sa stiu unde ma va duce aceasta decizie, o simt acum ca pe un succes. A fost un drum frumos care continua si asta a insemnat trecerea intr-o zona care m-a ajutat si ma ajuta sa ma cunosc.
Un alt succes a fost si trecerea din domeniul medical, in domeniul spa, ceea ce mi-a deschis indata o multime de usi. A fost nevoie sa fie parcursul asta, acum le inteleg altfel, decat atunci cand s-au intamplat.
Faptul ca traiesc. Am trait o experienta mai putin placuta, in urma careia a fost ca si cand as fi renascut si m-a facut sa vad frumusetea in tot ce a urmat in viata mea dupa. De atunci reusesc sa vad ca tot ce traiesc acum in realitatea mea are o latura frumoasa.
In urma cu mai multi ani am trait o experienta dureroasa, urmata de o interventie chirurgicala, in urma careia am ramas fara un organ si a trebuit sa imi inteleg corpul astfel, sa ma accept si sa merg mai departe in acest fel. Din anumite planuri, se credea ca nu voi mai fi, dar am ramas pe aici.
Am invatat cat de usor si simplu se poate termina viata. Am invatat atunci pe propria piele ce inseamna puterea de manifestare a unui gand.
In Senegal am trait sa vad la distanta de centimetri opulenta cu saracia si sub ochii mei sa vad cum un copil mort in strada nu era luat in seama de cei bogati care treceau pe langa el. Exprim cu astfel de cuvinte ca sa se inteleaga cat de cat scena respectiva, ci nu ca sa judec evenimentul respectiv (bogatia sau saracia), sau persoanele implicate. Atunci am invatat cat de important este sa multumesc pentru copilaria pe care am avut-o, pentru parinti, pentru familie, pentru locul in care m-am nascut.
A doua zi la spa (aveam un seminar la BuddhaBar Spa in Dakar, Senegal) am spus povestea colegilor cu asa trairi vii si plansa toata si ma priveau uimiti.
Unul din colegi plangea cu mine si ma gandeam ca a emotionat doar pe unul istorisirea asta…Si in fapt el plangea pentru ca murise noaptea sora lui mai mica si astepta sa se stranga bani de inmormantare, asa ca venise la servici, ca oricum nu avea cu ce sa ajute acasa. Parea asa de natural pentru ei ca aflau saptamanal ca a mai murit cineva cunoscut de o boala a mizeriei, sau de malnutritie.
Acea zi s-a transformat in povestit cu mangaiat, a fost ca si cand am trait intr-o zi crampeie din vietile tuturor si am inteles ca ceea ce mie imi pare normal si natural in viata mea, lor le parea aievea de implinit si ceea ce lor le parea natural si normal in viata lor, mie imi parea greu de imaginat.
Am stat aproximativ o luna cu parintii, ajutand-o pe mama intr-o recuperare, deci perioada de inceput am petrecut-o in familie “izolata” dintr-o nevoie aparuta total neasteptat. Apoi cam o luna jumatate am stat la casa de la tara si am inflorit casa, plantand necontenit flori, nu ma puteam opri din impodobit casa si curtea. Imi parea ca sunt intr-o vacanta lunga pe perioada nelimitata, asa ca m-am bucurat de fiecare moment.
Iar de la final de luna mai, am devenit foarte aglomerata, am lucrat poate dublu ca timp, fata de anii trecuti.
Multe centre spa si-au reluat activitatea cu noi echipe si asta a insemnat o insiruire de seminarii dupa seminarii si multe calatorii. A fost simtita ca o adevarata resuscitare, dar toate au un alt sens acum.
Am vazut ca oamenii descopera ca sunt si altfel si ca au mai multi de Ei in interior, de care stiau sau nu. In aceasta perioada au fost stimulati, sau fortati de circumstante sa se arate ei pe ei asa cum sunt si asta nu in vreun sens rau sau negativ si in aceste interactiuni, am invatat si eu lucruri noi despre mine si despre cum sa primesc acest nou, acesti oameni rascoliti pe toate planurile.
Ma supara manipularea in formele in care o pot vedea si cu cat devin contienta de manifestarile oamenilor, a grupurilor, familiilor, care traiesc in aceasta orbire, cu atat ma supar mai tare. Nu pot spune ca nu suport, invat din toate ceva si adesea le vad rostul, dar nu in totalitate. Ceea ce imi displace este atitudinea oamenilor care iau cunostinta cu faptul ca sunt manipulati in anumite situatii, reusesc sa vada pe termen lung cum se rasfrange asta in viata lor, in familie, copii si totusi spun ca nu au ce sa faca.
Am vazut din propriile experiente ca intotdeauna exista cel putin inca o posibilitate de a alege altceva si a schimba ceva ce imi face rau mie si celor din jur.
Exista o mantra frumoasa pe care o impartasesc ori de cate ori am ocazia si care suna astfel ”Spiritul tau este infinit in univers si ai o infinitate de optiuni in alegerea deciziilor!” Se spune adesea in terapiile ayurvedice desenand o mudra in infinit pe anumite zone ale corpului, dar oricine si-o poate spune cand crede ca este in ipostaza de a nu avea de ales, de a face un compromis peste alt compromis, care da nastere altui compromis. Sunt oameni care spun ca e o gluma, cum niste cuvinte sa ajute in luarea unei decizii… DA, un simplu cuvant poate face acea minune atunci cand avem nevoie, dar el trebuie rostit. Poate fi desprins dintr-o mantra, o rugaciune sau strigat din suflet in mod unic. Nu spun ca eu traiesc in mantre si afirmatii si rugaciuni, dar le-am gasit rostul, utilitatea, atunci cand am avut nevoie.
Am schimbat candva pentru mine zicala care spune ca Dumnezeu iti da, dar nu iti baga in traista. In viata asta am vazut ca mi-a dat si mi-a bagat si in traista, dar a trebuit sa fac efortul maret de-a baga eu mana in traista, ca altfel stateau acolo toata viata darurile si nu le atingeam si traiam poate cu regrete ca mie nu mi-a dat.
Gandesc uneori ca daca dispare manipularea, poate apar alte unelte pentru a duce omenirea catre evolutie.
Timpul petrecut cu familia, cu parintii, cu nepoteii, cand am timp ma bucur de 3 nepotei (2 fete si un baiat), inocenta lor imi aduce bucurie nemarginita. Bucuria vazuta la ei, ma face sa imi simt bucuria din mine, cea care exista asa pur si simplu, fara motive. E o alta lume acolo intre ei, usor de accesat, total deschisa, pe care adesea nu o vedem, prinsi in rutina si lucrurile serioase de adult.
Ma simt implinita cand aflu ca terapeuti cunoscuti si dragi sufletului meu, si-au intemeiat familii si s-au imbogatit cu un bebe sau mai multi, le simt bucuria si ma bucur pentru ei.
Imi aduce bucurie si reintalnirea cu terapeutii plecati din tara si reintorsi, care acum povestesc, asa cum povestesc eu aici.
Eeeeee, cu asa intrebare, ar trebui un interviu lung, doar despre frici.
Am experimentat mult prin fricile descoperite de-a lungul anilor. Realizez acum ca fara anumite frici, nu as fi cunoscut curajul de-a lua anumite decizii.
O frica care m-a urmarit cativa ani, a fost frica de apa. Ma surprindeam adesea prin locurile unde predam ca aveam teama de a invata sa inot, teama de a intra la apa mare in piscinele mai adanci, o teama pe care am transformat-o in frica si ori de cate ori am fost pusa in ipostaza sa invat sa inot, a fost esec total.
Lucram in apa terapia Mizutsu, o minunata terapie cu un protocol de la BuddhaBar si adesea am trait in acelasi timp cu oaspetii fricile acestea, descoperind astfel ca erau frici comune.
Dupa cativa ani in care am realizat ca pierd o parte atat de frumoasa, datorita acestei frici, pierd momentele in care as putea sa ma bucur de apa, astfel mi-am propus sa invat sa inot.
Pot spune acum ca domeniul spa m-a ajutat sa imi infrang frica de apa, care era in esenta frica de inec, venita din experiente din copilarie. Astfel ma pot bucura acum pe deplin de piscinele locurilor in care ajung.
Am lucrat in multe planuri la fricile astea, pana la a le trai in fizic si pe cele nascocite, adica la a trai, a materializa fricile fara temei, cele induse. Am experimentat asa la extreme, ba ca exista si sunt palbabile, ba ca nu exista si sunt plasmuiri mentale… exercitii, afirmatii, mantre, ritualuri, de toate am facut in lucrul cu fricile. Acum rad de mine cand imi amintesc anumite ipostaze.
Am ajuns sa le traiesc relaxata cand apar, le analizez sa vad astfel cum sa transform acea energie in ceva bun pentru mine, sa ma folosesc daca pot spune astfel, de o frica si sa o transform in ghid. Reusesc sa vad cand vine de la ceva ce am experimentat eu, sau cand este indusa de anumite circumstante exterioare, sau cand vine din programele de manipulare.
Ma incearca uneori frica de a pleca prea devreme din viata asta, inainte de a invata tot ce am in plan, de a pleca cu experiente nerealizate, cu lectii neinvatate. In acelasi timp am inteles ca toate au un sens si ca plecarea face parte din acel sens.
In manastire exista asa-zisele taine ale fricilor si se povesteste despre omul cu fricile cele bune, care vin ca indrumari din partea unor entitati care stau pe langa om sa il ajute si omul cu frici nebune, care vin de la duhurile rele, care vor sa il traga in pierzanie. Nici unele nu izvorasc din inima omului si nu au legaturi in inima, ci in mental si creeaza legaturi in mintea omului, in momentele cand se simte singur si fara de Dumnezeu. Din ce am experimentat eu, toate duhurile, entitatile si bu-hu-hu-urile au drept de manifestare si am dreptul sa le ascult, caci toate comunica ceva. Important este cu cine aleg sa ma imprietenesc si alaturi de cine pun capul pe perna seara la culcare, pe cine iau cu mine in calatoriile de noapte si ce manifest apoi ziua.
Ma desfasor de cativa ani si in activitatea de apiterapeut si imi doresc sa ma dezvolt mai mult, sa devin mai mult decat sunt acum, sa invat cat mai mult din secretele apiterapiei aplicate.
Nu este neaparat un vis, ci ceva ce simt sa fac si o fac, dar nu ocupa primul loc in activitatile mele, ci completeaza lucrul cu oamenii, completeaza terapiile.
Imi doresc sa tin seminariile cat mai mult in natura, se intampla in anumite locatii, dar nu peste tot si am vazut si simtit ca invatatul terapiilor cu picioarele prin iarba, nisip, pamant, sub cerul liber, ne conduc in ceea ce suntem cu adevarat si ne fac sa simtim o realitate de care nu eram constienti.
Vad ca centrele spa care sunt in natura, cele care isi desfasoara activitatea prin zone montane, dealuri, pe litoral si au un teren la dispozitie, parc interior, padure, sa foloseasca la maxim acel loc. Sa vada oportunitatea de-a se desfasura in natura cu terapii, cu terapeuti, sa faca cat mai multe activitati afara, de la a respira in natura, la a merge desculti prin iarba, pana la terapii la pamant, impachetari in pamant, in nisip, hidroterapie direct in mare, in lacuri.
Cat mai multe centre cu profil spa in mediile urbane, pentru ca este nevoie si este cerere. Nu ma refer la ideea de centru spa foarte mare cu piscine si bazine, saune nenumarate, cu costuri enorme, ci centre mai mici, in care sa se faca terapii cu apa(cazi, bazine mici). In esenta intr-un spa se curata apa prin apa, apa interioara se poate curata cu multe terapii, in multe feluri.
Centre mai mici sau mai mari in natura, in care oamenii care traiesc in mediul urban si au prea putin contact cu natura, sa se poata bucura de terapii in natura, dendroterapie, meloterapie, relaxare in natura.
Vad noi notiuni introduse in pregatirea si educatia terapeutilor din centrele spa. Vad ca exista din ce in ce mai mult nevoia de a cunoaste mult mai mult decat masajul ca forma fizica de atingere si asta este imbucurator. Vad ca s-ar putea dezvolta si la nivel de echipa spa acest capitol, astfel incat fiecare membru din echipa sa fie constient ca terapiile, masajul sunt mai mult decat atingere fizica si sa propuna, sa caute sa invete si despre ceea ce nu se vede ci se simte. Este mai multa „stiinta” in simtire, decat in corpul fizic si intelegerea amandurora poate transforma orice terapeut intr-un maestru in ceea ce face.
Educarea clientilor spa mai mult decat pana acum, prin toate sursele de comunicare posibile si prin intalniri lunare, trimestriale, in care specialistii centrului sa le vorbeasca deschis si sa le raspunda la intrebari. Cred ca cei care calca pragurile centrelor spa, este bine sa cunoasca exact ce inseamna acest SANTE PER AQUA, ce inseamna a te curata cu apa, prin apa, ce inseamna a curata apa din tine, ce se curata in fapt, ce efecte au aceste curatari in toate planurile, cat este de minunat si ce oportunitate inseamna faptul ca pot accesa astfel de locuri si sa isi asume tot ce se inampla in toate planuri si astfel sa revina cu incredere si mult mai constienti.
Cred in SACRU, pentru ca simt ce inseamna la tot pasul in viata mea, cred in VIATA, cred in IUBIRE si in manifestarea ei. Cred in sacralizarea zilei, sau a unui moment dintr-o zi, a activitatii, a spatiului in care ma manifest.
Cred ca atunci cand il invit pe Dumnezeu sa mearga cu mine unde imi pare mie ca am treaba, El vine si am vazut ca apoi si El ma invita pe mine cand vrea sa imi impartaseasca ceva. Atat de simplu este. Cred ca atunci cand impart cu Dumnezeu ce fac eu intr-o zi, descopar ca in fiecare secunda este o adevarata poveste cu invataminte pretioase.
Cred in CUNOASTERE si cred ca dorinta de-a invata si apoi de a impartasi aceasta cunoastere, ma tine vie si ma face sa simt ca traiesc. Cred ca invat mult din practica, facand ceva, fiind cu mana pe oameni.
Cred in IUBIRE, in acea iubire care vindeca, care ma face sa simt ca pot orice cand imi propun, care ma scoate din suferinta. Cred in iubirea dintre maestru/indrumator si elev, am simtit-o si o simt inca prin prisma experientelor cu maestrii de la care am invatat, care unii ma supervizeaza de pe unde sunt.
Doresc tuturor celor ce citesc aceste randuri, ceea ce imi doresc si mie. Imi doresc sa ma caut pe mine in fiecare secunda din viata asta, sa ma aflu eu pe mine si sa ma simt asa cum sunt.
Sa invete sa accepte ceea ce sunt si sa accepte ceea ce au langa ei, in familie, sa multumeasca pentru tot ce au si pentru ce traiesc.
Sa iti vada fiecare de povestea vietii, de ceea ce are de facut si invatat.
Sa traiasca in non-judecata, sau macar sa incerce, sa vada ca atunci cand judeca, pot sa aleaga sa iasa din acea zona, care aduce apoi un sir de intamplari la un nivel atat de mare, de care nu sunt constienti in acel moment.
Sa invete sa traiasca experimentand cat mai mult din ceea ce vor sa faca.
Sa isi manifeste aptitudinile, cand le descopera si sa le dezvolte.
Sa isi manifeste unicitatea, fara temeri, rusine.
Sa se caute fiecare pe el in viata lui.
Sa isi creasca copii in adevar, iubire si cu Dumnezeu la tot pasul si sa le dea voie sa se manifeste liber.
Sa ceara ajutor cand au nevoie si sa aiba incredere ca il vor primi.
Sa vada ca exista un Dumnezeu care le stie si le vede si E in toate si orice se intampla la un moment dat, are un sens. Sa aiba rabdare si cu intelepciune sa ceara sa vada sensul.
