Testimonials

Dear Vladimir,

I can’t tell you how many times I have sat in front of my computer and not been able to find the words to adequately describe what our relationship has meant to me. I have now realized that the reason for this “writer’s block” is quite simple… WORDS CAN’T DESCRIBE what our relationship means to me. What I have gained from knowing you goes far beyond words. That said, I’m going to attempt it anyways and I remind anyone reading that the words I use are only pointing at the meaning of how I feel and most likely will just graze the surface.

When I first met you Vladimir I felt I was a fairly knowledgeable person when it came to matters of the mind, body and soul. I had read many books and could call on any one of them for an appropriate quote or analogy. I prided myself on this and the fact that many friends and sometimes even strangers would often come to me for council. I came to a point in my life where I realized that the issues I was facing and the person I was trying to help were beyond my capabilities. I was at a low point to be sure. I was experiencing chronic back pain, was virtually unemployed, my marriage was failing, and I had lost contact with most of my friends. I was lonely, scared, angry and sad.

I came to your door expecting you to fix my marriage. You didn’t and I thank you. I came to your door expecting you to fix my health problems. You didn’t and I thank you. I came to your door expecting you to repair my broken relationships. You didn’t and I thank you. I came to your door expecting you to solve all my problems. You didn’t and I thank you. What you did do is show me the way to peace and how I alone am the only person who can create or destroy my life. You taught me that knowledge is useless without wisdom and that wisdom is doing. In other words, knowing that 2+2=4 is quite pointless unless I can apply that in my own life. I realized that I had not been applying the things that I knew of love and happiness and peace to my own life. You showed me that I know much more than I thought I did and you challenged me to let my knowledge flow from my heart and my soul rather than my head and my mouth.

Since meeting you Vladimir, my life has changed in so many ways. I am less stressed, I am more focused, I am happier and I more peaceful. I have found and endless supply of love… within myself. And I am living instead of reading. I am being instead of thinking. I am Me.

As I said before, words really can’t describe who you are to me; coach, friend, councilor, brother. I am grateful to the universe for bringing you into my life. I love you and thank you.

Love,

Mike L.

HEALING THE DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL

Relationship issues, financial issues, addictions, sexual abuse and other trauma; somehow we have convinced ourselves that these are unrelated. We seek assistance and guidance from people who hold themselves out to be ‘experts’ in the field, whether they be therapists, psychics, promoters of ancient rituals or others, and somehow we believe we can heal our wounds through external sources. They may help, but who creates the wounds of our souls if not ourselves through the reaction to our life experiences? And how can they be ‘healed’ if not from within? If not from within, how can our behaviours which manifest back into our life experiences not be a reflection of who we are, leading to these relationship, financial and other issues we attract into our lives?

People will often state “I know it is about me” and intellectually, they believe that. They are then readily able to point to their boss as being a jerk or their spouse for not doing what they want him or her to do. If it truly is about me, and who I am inside is reflected outwards into the universe and my relationships, then how can it be about them? For example, if I call you a ‘horse’, you may have no reaction to it because you have not associated being called a ‘horse’ as a ‘good’ or ‘bad’ thing. However, if I call you a ‘cow’ and you are overweight, you will be offended. Why? Because you are a cow! Instead of admitting this to yourself, you deny and defend it; we self-deceive. If it were not true, it would not bother you. So when others such as a boss or spouse behaves in a way that ‘triggers’ us, we only react if it is something that somehow reflects something in ourselves otherwise, why would be react? They ‘mirror’ us and to ‘protect’ ourselves from being hurt, we make it about them. Really, if they are only mirrors of our wounded souls, then are they not perfect just the way they are? How can we judge others when we are really only judging ourselves?

There are some people who offer a ‘theory’ of healing, and others who provide tools in an attempt to overcome or bypass our wounds, like to ‘think positive’ or change our thoughts and vibrate differently in the universe. These principles are helpful and may be learned, however they ignore one essential thing: you can put ice cream on top of a sundae made of crap, but it is still a crap sundae. In other words, if you do not heal the wounds within, you are only putting a bandage on the wounded soul.

So, where do we get guidance to heal our souls if we have mastered self-deception and refuse to look at the ‘uglies’ that we have allowed to mold us? I know that it cannot be had by merely reading a book because of our ability to see and explore only that which we are willing to acknowledge and often we either deny its existence or we don’t even know it’s there.

What if someone could read your energy and tell whether or not you were lying, even if you yourself were unaware of it as a result of your self-deception? He could see through your masks and coping mechanisms, and actually see your soul? There is such a person, who by guiding people to dig deep within themselves, has helped them to heal the wounds of their souls. His name is Vladimir. For two years he has guided me, as his student, on a journey towards inner peace, and he had been sharing this, his life purpose, with others for many years. Although I fought hard to hang onto the illusion of control in my life, through Vladimir’s love and ability to ‘see’, and knowing that I could not say or do anything to make him love me less, I have learned to ‘let go’ of things out of my control and allow ‘love’ back into my heart and my life, which has affected all aspects of my life.

I no longer ‘survive’ life, I live in the moment of it. I am no longer caught up in ‘doing’; I am a human ‘being’. I no longer self-medicate in addictions to suppress feelings; I revel in experiencing them. Knowing that everything is either a call for love or an act of love, I see things differently than I used to. I do not ignore the evidence before me so that I can believe what I want to believe allowing me to now see the bravest man as the one with the most fear. There are obviously too many ‘shifts’ in my world to list, I am just grateful to have attracted Vladimir into my life with his unique gift. I wish for you the same beautiful journey, should you choose it. I know that when the roots are healthier, the tree will grow straighter and taller. I used to say this work is not for the faint of heart however, as Vladimir points out, maybe it is just that: for the faint of heart.

There are many levels of self discovery, and I have done many levels throughout my life. I commend myself for the IMMENSE COURAGE it took to know myself on a deeper, non superficial level. To go to the deepest parts of  my heart’s yearning, to hear my inner voice, and want more peace and love within myself was at times an extremely scary, painful journey, yet the rewards on the other end that I did not see in my fear are so unbelievably  beautiful, so rewarding, so worth it.

Vladimir’s work is for anyone on any level. The only  qualification I needed was that my inner voice was not quiet anymore. It kept asking, even begging for more! It told me I was worthy of having something better, something  richer.  Vladimir offered me the safest environment to go deeper.  He truly offered of himself an open heart with the purest non-judgement that I so rarely experienced in my day to day connections with others. He was my  guide through my own personal journey of finding that abundance of great love, that I so wanted to give and receive. And most importantly, he guided me through a process that gave me peace and love for myself, which for  me is the root of authentic relationships with others.

I gave myself the gift of going deeper, allowing myself amazing love, because I am now worth it! And I did it with a man who loves deeply, whose heart is gentle, non-judgemental, safe and whose intention is to help others get more of what they want from life. Thanks Vladimir!

My time spent with Vladimir has been invaluable. He has the ability to listen with kindness, without judgment and unconditional respect. At the end of our time together the result is insight and wisdom that always points back  to me. The ideas were always there, within myself, but somehow in my pain, I cannot seem to get there alone. I get comfort in knowing that Vladimir’s voice of knowledge, integrity and his ability to speak and hear the truth  comes from the fact that he has gone inward to search, to understand, to heal and recreate. He has been one of my teachers, guiding me to my highest good, and it is for that I feel indebted to him and ever so grateful.
