Have you ever walked in the rain, wind and black sky with your back straight and your head up? With a thirst for life and the happiness of being yourself?
I trained myself to walk like that for many months, but it came out by itself, so natural and beautiful - after communicating with Marina Grashina.
And it's not that I was some naive dolt or, conversely, a very serious "smart girl with furrowed brow. Life has just turned out in such a way that recently it has become important to find and understand myself. And that search has led, among other things, to this curious blog.
"Why not?" - I decided. Does it matter that I know nothing about it? Here is an expert, let him explain to me who I am and why. What if it resonates?
It blasted so that the resonance will shake the space of my reality for a long week, I'm sure. So suddenly the abyss opened up and the understanding of the world in you, its structure and your place in it...
This method, of course, is not the only one. But it's certainly not superfluous! It puts a lot of things in their places. And the Master's merit is undeniable - if you do not want to work with a "man-instruction", who has decided once and for all how to "do the right thing" and will drive you into a given framework, but you understand the value of being SEEN, and they see right to the root, picking out and bringing across the essence in a clear way, you are in the right place.
Delicacy and professionalism in a cocktail, seasoned with a note of vital drive - you will get it, I am sure! I found out))
Marina Nikolaevna, I wish you a long and fruitful years, I really look forward to cooperate more! Thanks to your team!

Once, just last leap year, these people (Marina and her company) helped me to understand and accept myself. More precisely, they helped me to go through the first step in understanding who I am, why I am here, and what I can do well - both for myself and for this World.
By the way, personally, for those who are pissed off by the word "SOCIONICS" alone. I understand you very well: until the fall of 2016 I was like that myself)) (and I can't tell you how much my own TIM pissed me off)). And the acceptance didn't come right away, but only some time later, in 2018. But how good I felt after that acceptance! Then (almost immediately after that) I took a wrong turn again, but - we are all human beings, we all make mistakes.... but then we come back to ourselves again.
And - getting back to the main topic - socionics just shouldn't be taken in isolation from much else. However, it is also possible (and perhaps even necessary!) to work with it.
And the knowledge of the typologies that Marina is willing to give is, in my opinion, the best that all the socionics schools I know at the moment have to offer.

It's important to find a Master in your field, passionated about what he or she do.
I took the test more than 10 times, started to read the description, somewhere it fit, but... I gave up, didn't find any use or benefit from socionics. There are no tests to determine my own psycho-type, there are no good ones - written by "the Internet". You need a specialist who will see with his own eyes, ask the right question and find what lies behind the act, because it is not easy to find the motivation for the act, it can be hidden from yourself. I was lucky to attend a consultation with Marina Nikolaevna, where I managed to rediscover myself!
Already after consultation, processing the information received, suddenly realized that for so long I tried to remake myself, considered it wrong, what I need to do, to live differently. That state all the time as a background that does not go anywhere buzzing - not enough attention, not enough this, not enough that. Suddenly I realize that "I" am like this and it's "normal", there's nothing wrong with me (!). Of course this is not a stop, you can, if you want, "finish it off", but you can stop cramming yourself into the hole for a circle if you’re a diamond... There was an acceptance of myself, a consent... I don't know how to say it. Permission to be like this. For me, this became an important point. Thank you for your work and for what you do!

I would like to express my gratitude for the seminar "Personality Typology".
Once again I am convinced that a person is a layer cake and this seminar confirms once again the diversity of these cakes, types and subspecies. As much as there can be many different pies and fillings, so much so that people can differ from each other, in connection with which there are often misunderstandings.
Personally, the seminar made me realize that I should not sometimes interpret the actions and words of others from my own bell tower. Because most likely, if the opposite person in me causes internal conflict, then we are different.
Thank you once again.

I have only been to a few classes and I am thrilled! Such wonderful changes began to happen that I don't even know how to describe it in words. I want to go and go and go with you, because with each session something new is discovered, and it's wonderful! I couldn't sing at all - and now I hear some notes coming out and I know I can do it, I can do it! Thank you so much!

I used to talk quite quietly, often inaudible. People didn't hear me and didn't perceive me, it was very disturbing both in work and in personal communication. And I always loved to sing, but again, quietly. After a few months of lessons I sang for the first time to my parents and they said, "Oh, Ksyusha, you have a voice! Wow, you sing beautifully!" I was proud of myself at that moment because I had managed to achieve what I was striving for.

Now when I drive to and from work, I do a warm-up and experiment with my voice. I really like "fooling around”. For example: expressing my voice - free parking space, upcoming trial, unexpressed emotions. It's so much fun. I thank the teachers for the opportunity to learn a new area of my life through voice.

I've been looking for a long time for competent public speaking teachers who don't cripple the vocal apparatus, but rather help me learn how to use it properly. In this course I got EVERYTHING and more than I expected.
I talk for hours at work and my ligaments would get tired and my voice would sit up. And here I learned how to warm them up before I start and relax them afterwards. In February I got sick, and I lost my voice completely. I did exercises from my public speaking course along with the basic treatment and after a couple of days it didn't hurt to speak.

This school attracts a lot of very interesting and not indifferent people - both teachers and students who are ready to fully devote themselves to voice and music. And when so many beautiful and motivated people unite under the guidance of someone as beautiful as professional, something incredible happens! And so it is every day.

We were given a professional tool in an accessible form, which is easy to use to bring order to our daily work and our heads. Before that all our work with projects was in the format of a text written on many sheets of paper by hand, without a presentation of cause-and-effect relationships and resource costs. After all, while finances can still be estimated somehow, time and logic are the two fundamental cornerstones that are very difficult to measure without the right tool. Information about people's psychotypes is undoubtedly also very interesting, because the success of your event as a whole depends on the success of communication. So thanks a lot, we will be glad to continue working together.

I liked that everything in the seminar was clear, specific, all the points, all the schedule. There was no unnecessary water. They talked about things that you can rarely read about on the Internet. And immediately the entire seminar was applied in practice - in my head, I immediately had a very clear plan, and you understand what you were doing right and wrong, and in what direction to go. For example, I could never figure out how much time I needed for a project, so I had to do everything off the cuff. There are three days left, and you realize that in those three days you're either going to die, or you have to do it.
Next time I wish we had more information on psychology, because this information is just extremely necessary for us, especially when we work with creative people. If you understand who is who, who will hear you and who will not hear you - you can apply it very clearly in practice. So thank you very much. I hope we will work not only at seminars, but also on our projects.

With the possible exception of the Gypsy, there were no cards or oracles that simply described a person's social actions (situations) in detail. It was in the "Gates of the Ash" deck that the clear, unequivocal situation picture that was required appeared. This deck has the most important criterion - the simplicity of pure perception.

So, exactly 2 years ago I found out about the existence of the Gates of Ash deck, last week I bought it and started working with it.
Yes, unexpectedly, everyone who knows me will confirm that for many years I worked exclusively with runes, any decks I respected, but did not take in hands. And now, it happened. What can I say. The feeling is the most magnificent. Very pleasant to work with a deck. It feels like a lot of work has been done, and the result is not a piece of cake, but a solid and finished product.
Naturally, this thing is not for everyone, because everyone simply does not need it. Naturally, the deck does not replace the runes. On the contrary, it is very beautiful and harmonious complement them.

Surprisingly, I've been reading the accompanying book and "leafing through" the deck for a month now. There were more questions than understanding. Behind the external clarity there were deep layers, which somehow I could not dig out on my own.
Practically a unique opportunity to communicate with the creator of the deck, because his information is not only in words and pictures, he - the carrier of this knowledge and the system. With one or two strokes he puts it into place and gives it shape.
Outside my window a northern dawn was rising, seeping red flashes through the Christmas trees, then clouds appeared in the blue sky, then fog covered everything, and now black and white graphics with drizzling rain. And it's all an illustration of the four suits of the deck.
Red and Black.
It feels like a breath of fresh air. Pure, piercing, northern.

The seminar had a much deeper impact on me than I even expected. The new knowledge helped me to understand the significance of lineage, the Power of its influence, support and protection. I changed my attitude, directed my attention to another important, but existing and meaningful source of power and support, which was unspeakably gratifying. The workshop was positive, the attitude was individual, the practices were effective and interesting! Thanks a lot for the new knowledge! Leaders, you are wonderful! I have a warm aftertaste and my own discoveries, too - mainly about myself as a potential source of "family baggage" for children).

The words said at the seminar, that Kin is not a single-lane string, but a wide multi-lane road, enabled the process of transferring from the level of mere knowledge into the body, when understanding comes from feeling. The dream, a harbinger of events that had been dreamed since my grandmother's transition and related to her, changed. Calmness and confidence appeared, and from this balanced state many things were seen differently. It was as if the assemblage point had settled. This made it possible to concentrate on the case without splashing out force, and the time has ceased to run like crazy, all in time and have enough energy, even with an acre more left.

So that's the end of our amazing 21 year forecast! A huge thank you to our teachers! Thank you Marina, your afterwards provided so much revelation, understanding and realization that you can't stand still. Of course this is just a slice of the possibilities of already my favorite Nordic astrology. Now I need to systematize and dig deeper. Today is my special day, my birthday. I am not writing to congratulate you, my colleagues. It is just really special on a key date.
The chart has both Mercury conjunct in the 2nd Domain and the 1st Temple. Something I'll understand about myself today, I'm waiting for revelations with my eyes wide open!

In general, initially I went to Nordic Astrology, because I have been interested in this subject for a long time, but relatively recently I began to immerse myself in the Nordic Tradition in general and thought that the course could clarify a lot of things. And so it did. I really liked the fact that you have to study a lot of information on your own - this format suits me. The meetings are very practical and the information is very structured. I really liked Marina Nikolaevna as a teacher, I am very grateful to her and the organizers. Everything is very warm, cozy and, most importantly - informative. Thank you!

I came to the Nordic Astrology course to learn how the planets work in the Nordic myth sky. Looking ahead, they do work. We traveled through our natal and aspected charts through the eight sacred points of the year, noting how the nature of the influence of the planets changes from the position in the Dominions and Temples, and got a lot of practice parsing each other's charts and our own. I would like to say thank you to all the participants of the group for their enthusiastic work and warm atmosphere, to Alexander for organizing the chat and video meetings and, of course, to Marina Nikolaevna for her valuable knowledge and experience. And, of course, to Northern Myth for its infinite depth. I am glad that I came to this course, I am glad that the stars aligned in such a way.
