Slovakian Feng Shui healer and web show host Slavomira Harcegova is still in the process of discovering who she is. Having achieved all her childhood dreams 10 years ago at the age of 40, she still felt a complete failure.
“I had a big house in a beautiful natural environment, three children and even a horse in the garden!” she shares. “Yet, I felt burned out. I kept asking, is life supposed to be only a never-ending to-do list?”
Slavomira was not unhappy or depressed. “Yet when I took away all my roles, who was I? A respectful member of society, with a University degree, married, children, home and running the perfect business. Yet behind all that, what is the meaning of life? Where were the fun and adventure?”
Looking back to her teens, she recalled that she had been so joyful, full of positive energy, and had fun all the time. “I missed the girl I was. It was time to find my purpose and get the girl back,” she says.
Slavomira looked for answers, studied books and went to esoteric seminars. She watched others have epiphanies but felt nothing.
She narrates, “One day, while browsing the computer for an English language course for my daughter, I froze. The emotions came from nowhere. Tears dropped onto the keyboards. The images of Italy on the screen stirred such a deep and strong desire. At last, I knew what it meant to feel connected to my soul.”
