How the text consultation works ↗Compare five formats

The consultation is a personal exchange of messages with Alexander Zharkov. VIP work is a separate format for work-related situations.

Who the consultation is for

For exploring one situation in relationships, work or personal decisions. Briefly describe what is happening and the question you want to discuss.

01 / YOUR ROUTE

Choose a format for your question

A personal question, family habits, education or a work situation: go straight to a relevant format.

01When life feels chaotic

For yourself

Describe one recurring situation: for example, agreeing to help and feeling drained again. Explore your response and choose a manageable next step.

How the text consultation works02When a family story repeats

For family

Does your family expect you to give way or take responsibility for everyone? Separate supportive rules from habitual choices you want to reconsider. Explore your experience without blaming relatives.

Explore a family question03When you want to learn

For practitioners

Want to study the institute’s approach? Start with the Gift of a Healer course and the limits of applying it within your profession.

For business owners

Do all decisions keep coming back to you? Explore the owner’s role in a recurring management pattern. Separate personal decisions from business operations.

How personal work is arranged

If your immediate concern is your own workload, start with a €30 text consultation ↗.

Energy sovereignty: what it means in everyday life
THE SHARED GOAL

Energetic sovereignty.

The institute uses this term for noticing your responses, maintaining boundaries and choosing your actions. Here are four examples.

Notice a response

For yourself: notice a habitual “yes” and pause before replying.

Distinguish responsibility

For family: support a relative while leaving their decisions to them.

Maintain a work boundary

For practitioners: agree on contact hours and finish work on time.

Make a decision

For business owners: identify what you decide and what you can delegate.

02 / THE MIRRORAnswer yourself. Out loud, if you wish.

What keeps recurring in your decisions?

“Matrix filters”, or “Glasses of Illusion”, are our metaphor for familiar beliefs. Through such a lens, we may confuse waiting with action or past experience with present facts.

The lens of the past

Which past story
shapes your choices?

An unfinished conversation or past experience may affect today’s decisions. Name one event: what happened then, and how do you act in a similar situation now?

Separate another person’s responsibility from the decisions available to you.
The lens of the present

What are you
putting off?

Which decision are you leaving until the right moment? Consider your energy, time and available support. Name one small action that is possible now.

Replace indefinite waiting with a small, observable step.
The lens of the future

What support
can you draw on?

Name the people, skills and resources that help you act. What support could you ask for, and which decision are you ready to make yourself?

Ask for support while keeping your own ability to choose.

03 / CAUSE AND CONSEQUENCE

How we explore
a recurring situation.

Kon is the method’s term for cause and consequence. We examine events, responses and decisions to frame a question to explore. This does not establish a medical cause.

Six examples: from an explanation to a question
From a familiar explanation to a question to examine
The familiar explanationA question that restores choice
“I am just unlucky”What repeats: circumstances, responses, choices or ways of acting?
“It runs in the family; nothing can change”Which family rules did you learn? Which still serve you, and which would you like to reconsider?
“I should endure it; it will pass”What may change without your involvement, and what needs support, rest or a specific action?
“Once the symptom is gone, everything will be solved”What needs medical care, and which circumstances or habits deserve a separate conversation?
“The right practitioner will solve it for me”What is the practitioner responsible for, and which decisions and everyday actions remain yours?
“This is punishment for the past”How can you describe what is happening without self-blame and identify the next available step?
Two different tasks.

We explore personal experience, not medical diagnoses. Take health questions to a doctor and agree any treatment changes with them.

04 / THE WORLDVIEWNav · Yav · Prav

Nav · Yav · Prav.
Three perspectives.

Three concepts in the approach: past experience, present facts and a next step. At the meeting, they provide a sequence for exploring one episode.

The past / Memory and lineage

Nav

Unfinished stories, learned roles and family rules. Nav is an image of the “unread mail” that continues to occupy your attention.

What from the past do I keep repeating?
The present / Observable facts

Yav

Your state, relationships, workload and decisions today. Start with what can be described rather than what you would like to explain in advance.

What is happening in my life right now?
The future / Choice and direction

Prav

The future is shaped through decisions and actions. Prav is an orientation: which values you choose and which next step reflects them.

Which action do I choose, and what am I responsible for?
The language of practice: Zhiva, subtle fields and energetic exchange
THE LANGUAGE OF PRACTICE

Zhiva, subtle fields
and energetic exchange.

Zhiva names the vital resource in the institute’s tradition. Subtle fields, chakras and energetic exchange belong to the author’s spiritual model for reflecting on one’s state, boundaries and interactions. The practitioner explains this language and proposes practices; you relate them to your own experience. These concepts are not presented as established medical mechanisms.

You do not need to choose a programme in advance.

Begin with a standalone €30 consultation.

09 / FAQ

Fees, participation and scope

Direct answers about the format, fees and scope of the work.

How much is the text consultation?

€30 for a personal text consultation with Alexander Zharkov about one situation, including a written summary and a next step.

Do I have to continue with a programme afterwards?

No. The consultation is a standalone service. Further work is discussed only if you choose it.

Is the consultation a medical service?

No. The meeting explores a personal situation; it is not a medical assessment or treatment. Take health questions to a doctor.

Do I need to believe in something or change my beliefs?

Participation does not require changing your beliefs or religious affiliation. The practitioner explains the terms and the sequence. You may ask questions, critically evaluate interpretations and decline an activity that does not suit you.

How does the programme differ from a standalone consultation?

The €30 consultation explores one situation through messages. The €500 programme lasts 40 days and includes six stages of guided practice. Continuing is optional.

When should I expect changes?

Timing varies. Forty days is the programme’s length, not a promised deadline for change. No medical, financial or other outcome is guaranteed.
