My search for the meaning of life started when I was a little girl around 5. I used to talk to my granny about the life and death, about the angels and the true purpose of living. My granny was at that time not very receptive to the “God concept” as she has seen herself as a partisan and someone who believed your corpse gets eaten by the worms after you die and that was all that is. I myself could not accept this belief and would very often come forth with the same question again and again: But granny, what happens when we die? And to my surprise today, she would always participate in the discussion.
When I look back now, I even have a feeling that all those conversations made her think deeply, because at the end of her days she went back to the church and faith and died peacefully.

Astrology and the religion were the first tangible things. I can not say that one was more important than the other. I just grabbed anything that could bring me closer to the invisible world, to the meaning of life and those were per hand at that time. I would order the basic astrology books, although I had no money and hoped my granny would not get crazy, because she had to pay for it as I lived with her at that time. The afternoon church service was my sanctuary and many times I would run away from my daily obligations, knowing I will be punished either orally or physically. But I did not care. All I wanted was to smell the frankincense and to feel that connection to God. But the love to the church ended abruptly and I wrote about this in one of my blog posts.

As a child and even later I was very imaginable and lived in my own world of fantasy. I always knew someone invisible was there with me and many times in my later years, when getting myself in to trouble, I would hear that voice in my head saying: Everything is going to be fine.
Much later when I did the course with Margaret McElroy, I was told by the Master Maitreya that I always had this special connection to God. I knew then that the voice I have heard from my early days, was the voice of God given to me by my guides.

When I went to the high school, I was much closer to other sources of spirituality. I read everything I could find in the local library. I even became the follower of the Ananda Marga group. It did not last for very long as my parents found out and I was punished and grounded. But this did not stop me to seek further.

The years that followed were more or less, doing basic things, reading religious, spiritual, astrology books. Until one day I found out about Reiki. Reiki was a huge step forward and very soon I was initiated. I did not wait to do the second level for very long and the Teacher level was kind of a step that was supposed to be the peak. But then something changed my direction and my plans.

One day my Reiki teacher showed me the Maitreya site ( www.maitreya-edu.org ), made by his channel Margaret McElroy.
I started to read the newsletters and the teachings and knew my search has ended. I knew I have found my truth. It was as with finding Maitreya, I have found myself. The messages were filled with love and simplicity and every single one resonated with my heart, with my truth.

Shortly after, Margaret had here Beginners Course in Frankfurt and this was the big opportunity for me as she lived in Australia at that time. The Reiki Teacher class was forgotten and I packed my things to fly to Frankfurt.
This course changed my life completely on all levels. I knew my real spiritual path has started. The Advanced course in Australia and the White Brotherhood course, were the ones that followed in the coming years.
During those courses I was also introduced to the Aura-Soma and Australian Bush Flower Essences and did those courses too.

Now after 10 years of working on myself with the help of the Master Maitreya, other Masters, my friends and family, I can truly say I am a spiritual teacher and healer.
I have left my wonderful job in a world famous company and dedicated my life to the benefit of the world. Because of that I see myself as a very lucky and happy person.
My current residence is Zagreb, Croatia but I consider myself a World Traveler and would gladly travel to your place to teach and meet all the happy people.

With much Love and respect

Natalija

The path to enlightenment is not an easy one. It takes many years of hard work, facing one's fears and working through the issues of past life energy, some of which can be quite painful. One loses most of what one has, friends, material desires as one raises the vibration and moves into enlightenment. Natalija is such a person who has reached a level of enlightenment where she is now ready to teach it to others. Her passion for her work, her desire to assist humanity to change, and her love for her teachers in our world, make her truly a wonderful teacher and healer. As a graduate student and now a fully qualified teacher, she comes to those who choose her as their teacher/healer with the gifts of compassion, love and knowledge. She is truly one who has walked her talk!

Maitreya.
