Urška is a class teacher by profession and a certified practitioner of bioenergy and alternative therapy. In her free time she deals with different relaxation techniques and alternative approaches to treatment.

She started her career with the master's thesis Visualization Technique as a Possible Way to Reduce Stress Related to Knowledge Tests in Elementary School Students, in which she researched how we can help students by using various relaxation techniques such as visualization, meditation, mindfulness, etc. to increase their ability to concentrate and remember more than they would otherwise. She is also introducing relaxation education in the school space, where she teaches students relaxation techniques and, with the support of the school management, she also expands and influences the teaching staff.

As the results of her work are positive, she tries to expand her practice not only in Slovenian and foreign schools, as she does with lectures and workshops at both domestic and international conferences, but also to bring it closer to all people for use in everyday life for good mental health. In her company Time for the Soul, she offers people various services to pamper their soul and body and train them for a healthy, conscious and happy life.

In cooperation with the Snovik thermal baths, she conducts sound baths and lectures on the topic of mental health, and with the support of the student club, she also conducts workshops to strengthen mental health with young people in the Sevnica Youth Center.

ART THERAPY and INTUITIVE DRAWING

Art psychotherapy with adults promotes a conscious approach to the unconscious, as the creative process gradually reveals unconscious feelings, forgotten memories ... In this way the participant can consciously monitor their development through art therapy, which promotes the principles of self-help and self-healing.

When we draw certain objects without knowing why we are doing it, it is about using the unconscious mind, which we also call intuitive drawing. When we draw and paint these objects, we access information from the unconscious and higher consciousness. With the help of artistic creation, children and young people can safely explore their emotions and find solutions, while the art therapist guides them, helps them overcome their fears and encourages their development. Fine art is a child's own way of expression, a medium in which he feels comfortable and confident. Through drawing and painting, children express their physical, emotional and cognitive development.

In the art therapy workshop, we will use intuitive drawing and coloring mandalas to access our unconscious mind. In this way, we will train ourselves in connecting with our higher selves and gain insight into our repressed emotions and fears. By accessing the unconscious, we will thus more easily embark on the path of conscious living and realize our full potential.

SOUND BATH

At the sound bath workshop, we will indulge in the sounds of gongs, Tibetan singing bowls, wind chimes, ocean drums… and bathe each of our cells in a vibration of health and harmony. Sound vibrations will help us feel our essence again, listen to the symphony of our soul and return to the path of spiritual mission on Earth, cleared of blockage, filled with peace and lightness and full of energy.

Ancient musical instruments, the GONGI, reconnect us to the Earth, to its frequency, the vibration of our HEART, scattering like golden drops across the meridians from our heart center. By opening our hearts, they help us transform trapped feelings of anger, sadness, and develop compassion and love.

From there they penetrate to each of our cells, where their purity clears their DNA records, resets them to their original frequency of health and harmony (cell membrane opens, allowing oxygen and nutrients to flow, blood cell capacity increases, cells become larger, more healthy) our bodies are cleared of all blockages, blocked energy in the body is released, tensions in the body are released, brain frequency is reduced (in the THETA STATE, which is achieved during sonic massage, BODY SELF-HEALING is activated), and heart rate adjusts to the normal number of beats per minute.

We perceive this release of energy as a pleasant tingling sensation in some parts of our body. After bathing in this SOUND BATH, we have a feeling similar to several hours of quality sleep, and the feeling of lightness and peace usually continues the next day.

Listening to the sound of gongs also affects the VAGUS NERVE (originates in the brain and travels down the body and revitalizes the RESPIRATORY SYSTEM, HEART and DIGESTIVE, is the fundamental regulator of the parasympathetic nervous system responsible for restoring relaxation after responding to stress) has a connection to the eardrum. With a soothing sound vibration, we stimulate the vagus nerve to relax our body, which helps the body heal naturally.

The vibration of the gong can also be felt on the physical body, as the power of its vibrations when played on it through our skin is transmitted through our body (consisting of 80% WATER, which is an ideal carrier of vibrations from the environment) into blood, internal organs, tissues, all the way to cellular memory. In this way, they cause a BENEFICIAL MASSAGE of all CELLS. Sound vibrations also affect our NERVOUS SYSTEM as they inhibit stress and pain stimuli.

During the sonic bath, we can feel the energy ascending along our spine along the central energy channel. In doing so, it establishes the smooth circulation of energy throughout our body, which supplies our energy centers (CHAKRAS), so that they can take full care of the health and vitality of our internal organs.

In addition to the earth gong, I also combine gongs during sound therapy, which open the 6th and 7th chakras, help us access deep inner silence, connect us with our SELF-SELF, give us a sense of bliss and serenity as we CONNECT WITH DIVINE ENERGY IN US. By connecting with the higher self during the sound bath, we often come to insights and messages that only it sends us and thus directs us to our spiritual path and mission. By accessing the unconscious during sound therapy, we are thus able to become aware of repressed traumas and trapped emotions that keep us from living ourselves fully and lovingly.
