But whatever. You know there’s a ton of food around here—some rotten, some fresh—that nobody bothers to track through any bureaucratic red tape, especially when things just vanish from the stats. The legal frameworks here aren't nearly as tight as they might be over in, say, program, where everything is maybe a bit more... or less... or just different. So you kill the resonator, grab some useless little self-help pamphlet, and through some hollow program, you just strain your eyes for nothing—waiting for that moment when, if the limbs aren't positioned just right, the soft decay finally sinks into the pot.

Regarding rejuvenation, I'll admit I only recognize a certain kind of faux-rejuvenation 😬

Maybe try looking into one of those standard sports coaches instead.

You know the type. They'll spend a little time warming you up, throw in some boxing, move on to functional training, then finish off with stretching and trigger point work until you aren't quite sure if your head or your backside is more exhausted from all the jumping around.

After maybe an hour or so, I can pretty much guarantee you'll have a bit of an epiphany. It's not some pseudo-scientific mystery or anything, it's actually fairly predictable: your blood sugar will drop so fast you'll swear you're seeing the Northern Lights right in front of your eyes. 😬

But the truth is 😁

Why wouldn't you? You learn to love your own version of reality, no matter how messy it is... 😳

Motivational speaker facing investigation for practicing medicine without a license

Dr. Vukušić noted he first learned about Ana Bučević through the news before investigating her actual practice.

''I looked into her work by watching her videos and realized she claims her vortex-based methods can cure people—essentially telling them they don't need medication or traditional therapy to be fine. That is dangerous territory for several reasons. First, she simply isn't qualified to make those claims. While she has a following because her methods seem to help some people initially, medicine and psychology recognize this as the 'honeymoon effect.' These gurus essentially trigger what we know as the placebo effect. It provides temporary relief, but it lacks longevity. When the effects wear off after a month or two and the individual realizes it hasn't worked, these gurus pivot to blaming the victim, claiming they are merely 'blocked' or failing to think positively. For a patient, that is devastating; they suffer twice—once from their initial illness and again from being betrayed by someone they trusted to help,'' Vukušić told 24 Hours.

I just can't stop thinking about what happened earlier today. It’s one of those moments that really sticks with you, you know? I was sitting there, just lost in thought, and it hit me how much everything is changing around us. Sometimes life just throws these little curveballs when you least expect them. Anyway, I wanted to share this because it felt important. I hope you guys find some value in it too. kaže:
I was reading this report about those recent developments in Washington, and honestly, it’s got me thinking deeply about how much our entire social fabric depends on these high-level policy shifts. It’s easy to get lost in the noise of the news cycle, but when you look at the actual implications for the average American family, things get heavy. It reminds me of a conversation I had years ago while grabbing coffee in Seattle—just a small, quiet moment that felt massive in hindsight. We often think these big institutional decisions happen in a vacuum, but they ripple out into every corner of our lives. You see it in the markets, you feel it in your grocery bill, and you definitely sense it in the general mood of the country. There’s a certain weight to these moments. It isn't just about politics or bureaucracy; it's about the direction we're heading as a nation. I find myself leaning more into those Abraham Teachings lately, trying to maintain some internal equilibrium while everything outside feels like it's shifting under my feet. It’s a balancing act, really. One minute you’re focused on the daily grind, and the next, you're staring at a headline that makes you realize just how interconnected everything truly is. Stay mindful, friends. It matters more than we think.

I’m calling it now: that motivational speaker is going to get reported for practicing medicine without a license. Seriously.

Dr. Vukušić mentioned that he first heard about Ana Bučević through the news. Once her name popped up in his feed, he decided to do a little digging to see exactly what she was all about.

I decided to dive down the rabbit hole to see what she was actually about. I sat there, watching her video clips, and it hit me: she’s out there explicitly claiming that her "vortex" methods can heal you—that you don't need therapy or medical treatment, and everything will just magically work out. Honestly? That is incredibly dangerous. There are several reasons why this is a problem, but first and foremost, it's a matter of boundaries. She simply shouldn't be operating in that space. She definitely has a following because her methods seem to help people in the moment. But if you look at medicine or psychology, there’s actually a phenomenon that explains this—it’s what they call the "honeymoon phase" or the "halo effect." A person feels a sudden surge of improvement, and all these gurus are essentially just triggering what doctors recognize as the placebo effect. It feels great initially, but it’s never sustainable long-term. Then comes the inevitable crash. Once that initial high wears off after a month or two, the person realizes the results aren't sticking. That’s when the gurus pull their favorite line: "You're just blocked on some deeper level; it's your fault because you aren't thinking positively enough." Honestly, that is the absolute worst thing you can do to someone seeking help. You turn the victim into a target all over again. As Dr. Vukušić told *CNN*, the patient suffers twice: first from the actual illness, and then again from being let down by the very person who was supposed to guide them toward healing.

What kind of spin is this? Good grief. I honestly don't think people grasp how subjective this all is—what works for one person might be useless to another. Why don't we just ban everything then? Ban both traditional medicine and alternative therapies entirely, and everyone can just declare themselves sick and pop pills until they die. It’s madness. Seriously, what is this group trying to do to the world? It’s not right. When everyone is living on a steady diet of prescription meds, they lose touch with raw, unfiltered reality. They become easy targets for manipulation. You can steer them wherever you want. Where does it all end? I don't know. Maybe the collapse of civilization itself. And probably within 24 hours at this rate. I don't trust any of them. They spend their time convincing people that there isn't a better way to live, when there absolutely is. All they ever broadcast is gloom, doom, and the idea that everything is falling apart globally. It’s enough to make you sick. This media manipulation is just exhausting.

It was about damn time someone called out that fog merchant... though honestly, what's the point? Even if they shut down her seminars, some new plagiarist will just pop up tomorrow claiming they’ve mastered Abraham Teachings and rambling on about how "you create your own reality"... all because they have a following. As long as there are sheep, there'll be wool

It is truly fascinating how willing some people are to pour both their hard-earned money and their precious time into these so-called "healers."

People will drop their last dime on this garbage because it’s the perfect philosophy for today's hyper-materialistic, frantic pace of life... plus, these New Age theories act like they're religiously neutral—they appeal to basically everyone, don't require any actual WORK on oneself, involve zero sacrifice, and just feed everyone's ego...

Being selfish? No problem! Just grab everything you want—abundance is infinite, right? And you aren't taking anything from anyone since everyone is solely responsible for their own situation... feeling lazy? No biggie! You don't even have to get off the couch—just visualize and manifest abundance... too busy for spiritual practice? Doesn't matter! You don't need years of meditation or intense breathing exercises—just think positive thoughts...

Who isn't tempted by lies like that? It's common knowledge that people will do anything for someone who validates their dreams, makes excuses for their failures, eases their fears, confirms their doubts, and helps them throw stones at their enemies...

And we definitely need to include sandblasting in the package deal. 😁

If we want to be politically correct, we could just pull brooms out of people's backsides instead. For the astrologers—that service is totally free. 😒
