O MENI - Čarna Praprot

Who am I?

My name is Tea

Since childhood, I've harbored a profound affinity with the Earth, feeling intimately connected with its essence. My bond with plants transcended mere observation; I communed with their spirits, attuned to their energy fields and the ethereal realms where subtle beings dwell. However, societal pressures during my formative years led me to doubt these experiences, dismissing them as flights of fancy inspired by fairy tales.

Throughout adolescence and the trials of life, I buried my perceptions of these subtle life forms deep within my subconscious. Yet, an undeniable inner yearning persisted, urging me to reconnect with these realms. Today, I stand as an Earth whisperer and intuitive healer of the causal planes, consciously nurturing the light within me and embracing the beauty of creation.

In tandem with my spiritual journey, I've cultivated a rich scientific background spanning over a decade. This dual perspective allows me to explore and understand the world through both mystical and empirical lenses. I strive to integrate my insights into responsible behaviors and advocate for sustainable practices in society, bridging the realms of spirituality and science. My path is one of fostering Oneness awareness, igniting the spark of unity within each of us.https://magicfern.si/category/raziskave/

Geomancy and new culture of Gaia

Drawing from a rich tapestry of experiences, I've delved deep into the mysteries of Earth's interconnected realms through the geomantic program at the VITAAA School of Creative Coexistence. Guided by daily meditation and my innate intuitive connection with nature, these practices have opened doors to parallel worlds and allowed me to attune to subtle vibrations, hearing whispers from the angelic realms and awakening to my celestial origins

Further enriching my journey, I've undergone profound initiations in Usui Reiki, which heightened my sensitivity to the cosmic energy flowing through me and deepened my understanding of existence's multidimensional facets.

Workshops led by Solara An Ra in conscious breathing and celestial transmissions have been pivotal, illuminating the path to activating my light body and expanding my healing capabilities through multidimensional perspectives. Solara AN RA .

What I do?

My dedication to growth extends beyond workshops and initiations; I commit to regular breathing exercises and deep meditation, anchoring myself in the awareness of my light body and navigating multidimensional spaces with clarity. The enchanting call of the fairy realm resonates deeply within me, and I joyfully engage in daily exchanges with these ethereal beings, co-creating our shared reality in harmonious collaboration. check here

Through my endeavors, I strive to pioneer pathways toward responsible and harmonious human actions, rooted in a profound understanding of our interconnectedness with Earth and the cosmic consciousness. Complementing my spiritual journey, my academic pursuits in cultural anthropology and sociology have provided foundational insights that inform my approach to fostering awareness and unity in every facet of life.

Wherever I tread, whether in my professional endeavors or personal interactions, I am steadfast in my commitment to nurturing interconnectedness and facilitating harmonious coexistence among all beings. I invite you to explore the insights and wisdom shared on Magic Fern, where the whispers of the Earth and its myriad inhabitants converge to inspire and illuminate our collective journey.
