Psychic Readings In Spain!

By Keidi On August 16, 2010 No Comments

It’s very rare that I dedicate this entire blog post to an individual or a business, but when I do it means I found them totally exceptional, surpassing all pre-conceived expectations by a mile.

So allow me to introduce Mark Bajerski, a psychic and healer, who lives in the magical mountains of Mijas Pueblo with his wife Suzie and his daughter China.

Mark’s studio is located in the centre of Mijas Pueblo (Province of Malaga, on the Costa del Sol) opposite the town hall and it’s from here that he gives clients ‘future readings’ and ‘Pure Energy healings’.

On the ground floor his wife’s amazing shop ‘Tickled Pink’ lures in passers-by; a true Aladdin’s cave, alive with gifts and knick knacks.

I discovered Mark on Facebook and immediately felt drawn to visit him for a reading. I arrived slightly early so I spent a few minutes admiring the wares in Tickled Pink before Mark called me up to his studio. I felt at ease right away because Mark has obviously spent a great deal of time and effort creating a relaxing, tranquil ambience – the walls are purple and the chairs comfy and cushioned!

Mark uses Tarot as a tool to deliver his readings, so he began by parting the cards. I placed my hands on top of the cards and Mark detected my energy field to see whether there was any negative flow in my body. He said my body was healthy with no problematic areas, but he sensed that my mind was busy with information – he could even feel it vibrating! Mark rubbed a vibrant smelling orange-coloured oil on my wrists (this oil is kept in a huge glass jar, full of cleansing crystals) and began to talk.

The reading itself was almost spookily accurate and even though a lot of it was based on the future, it resonated with me on a deeper level. I was even told important information about a handful of relatives.

After the reading I lay on the bed while Mark performed his energy healing. I’m not sure how long this took so I must have fallen asleep. When I woke up Mark said he’d worked on my stomach as I held a lot of emotion there and it needed to be released. For two days after my stomach rumbled and grumbled, which is a great sign as it means the healing worked.
On a personal level I found Mark warm, friendly, passionate about his work, loving, sincere and full of light. You only need to look at the ‘testimonial’ area of his website to see that I’m not the only one who felt impressed.

I left Mark’s studio feeling…I don’t know…different. I felt happy. I felt positive. But above all I felt totally confident and hugely excited about my future…

Visit To The Medical Centre In Spain

By Keidi On August 8, 2010 No Comments

Yesterday morning I woke up with incredibly itchy eyes, so itchy in fact that I couldn’t refrain from rubbing them hard time and time again.

As it was Saturday and the Doctor’s isn’t open at the weekend, I had no choice but to go to the emergency section of the medical centre, which is open 24 hours, every single day.

I arrived at about 10.30am and there were already loads of people waiting around to be seen by the doctor on duty. The lady behind the desk gave me a ticket with the number 55 on and I took the last remaining seat.

But the system is a little ridiculous as there’s nothing to tell anyone what number they’re up to, or who goes next. That’s achieved by having to ask everyone what number they have until you happen to find the number before yours. Then you must keep a close eye on that person before you to make sure they take their turn at the right time.

It really is a hugely confused method and a little too stone age for me!

When it comes to certain things Spain is still a little ‘behind’ the UK and many other European countries and I awwait the day when they catch up.

Eventually, after around two hours of waiting I was seen by the doctor, who looked into my eye with a torch, applied orange coloured eye drops, then gave me a prescription.

She diagnosed me with conjunctivitis and now I have to apply eye drops three times a day. It’s already clearing up so at least the drops are effective…!

If you dream of becoming an expat and spending your days living in the sun, then you must get a copy of this powerful expat bible, 30 Days To Move Abroad.

You can refer back to this super reference book time and time again in order to full fill your dream of a new life living in the sun. It covers everything you will need to consider and there’s no doubt that you’ll be ready to take the plunge within 30 short days.

When I moved abroad I spent weeks searching websites for all these answers. Unfortunately there was no bible available for me which is a shame as it would have saved me so much time. I would then have been able to concentrate on the big move which is a stressful experience.

Don’t wake up a year down the line and wish you had never moved abroad in the first place. It’s much better to know everything before you go so that your doubts can be sorted out in advance.

The Perils Of Living In Spain

By Keidi On July 26, 2010 No Comments

When you decide to move to Spain it’s difficult to think of the dangers. All you have in your mind is the sunshine, the cheap booze, the sea and the lovely beaches. But like any location, there are always certain things that you should be wary of.

Throughout the hot summer months people enjoy swimming in the sea, but unfortunately on windy days the sea can get very rough. On these days it’s more likely that people get in trouble as they’re taken out to sea by the strong undercurrent.

It’s usual to hear regular news of people drowning at this time of the year. Just the other day I heard that a five-year-old boy had drowned in the sea just across the road from my apartment.

Apparently his Mum looked up and he’d vanished. It took 30 minutes for a man to find him, face-up on the sea-bed. Miraculously he was brought around, but he coughed up a lot of blood and unfortunately he died the next morning in hospital.

It’s all too easy to forget about safety when the sun is shining and the family are having fun on the beach, but drowning in the sea is definitely one of the perils of living in Spain.

I often hear of small children drowning in private swimming pools here too. As many pools don’t have safety nets over them, toddlers are able to walk straight in without anyone noticing until it’s too late.

So if you plan to move to Spain, or if you already live here, please be aware of these safety issues and keep a very close eye on your children.
