It is a great journey. Every life has an unique journey. My life was smooth until now, and blessed at all times. There were the moments of struggle and pain, but looks like I never really remember it. What bothered the flow sometimes is my overthinking and overdoing, which then leads to overwhelming. Right?

I have the smile on my face while writing now. I don’t know if I really take my job of presenting myself better seriously, or I actually am taking seriously what my job is.

I deeply take care of people in need, I’m deeply taking care of life, all life, and its dignity.

So, it’s natural to me to be constantly engaged in helping others with all my means, with my heart and soul, and my knowledge. Also material and financial help. That is all the puzzle of our amazing life. But, inevitably, I think that all of these elements of completing puzzle are never enough, and I’m trying to improve it each and every day. I’m trying to find the way of making it happen. Surely, with you dear reader all of it will be much easier.

This is exactly where all of us should be, near to each other, not near to the phone screens, TV shows, football matches, or in the night clubs. While we are entertaining ourselves, let’s remember that someone is hungry. Let’s remember that someone is in pain. Let’s remember that one child is trapped under the rubble, because we weren’t collectively determent enough that it is not just unlawful but also inhumane.

The list could continue for kilometers, unfortunately.

So, what to do?

I’m doing my priority list, where peace, security, human rights, life dignity, freedom, and justice are on the top of my Priority List.

Then, once I have fulfilled these matters in my small environment, these fundamental issues, I move forward with my academy content, my studies, and research. All of it is important to me.

Now is your turn: please let me know what is important to you. What really matters to you?

MedicalPilates SoulWellness academy is created by me, doctor Mirjana Ilic, Physiotherapist, Osteopath, NCPT, and passionate advocate and activist for the truth, peace, justice, and freedom. Here in the twin website https://medicalpilates.it/ you will find more information.

Hope that you will join the SoulWellness movement and mission, because it will benefit you too.

As one of the scientists says:

“Specifically, while mindfulness training emphasizes

dissociative attention and stress regulation, compassion-

focused practices appear to uniquely modulate

parasympathetic responses in the face of interpersonal

distress” (Kim et al., 2020).

So, dear reader, thank you for arriving to the end of this little unveiled silence. Actually I have wrote 2 books, 100 Unveiled Silences (I and II) bringing in amazing art, backlight art, made by respected Italian artist, Antonio Foria. More about his art: https://www.proxivision.it/. Inevitably, i mentioned it, because I truly believe that art is also our healer. I’ll write about it the next time.

Wish you peace and happiness.

Mirjana

  1. Ho studiato con Mirjana ed è stato proficuo oltre che per la mia formazione , per il mio spirito: dopo i nostri incontri tornavo in sala dai miei allievi con nuova passione e pazienza , perche’ ci vuole anche quella! Bisognerebbe fare almeno un “richiamo” all’anno!
