For better or worse, a person is born. Dogs understand human speech and this can be seen on a tomograph. I had a dream and answered that it was good

To be honest, I didn’t even know that such a holiday even existed. However, the brownie, or as many call him, the hostess, is usually revered. They say that he pays for respect in good coin - love, peace and prosperity will reign in the house. That's why today we decided to talk about brownies.

Brownies exist! I always see them, they are in every home without exception. They often look like a cat or an old man,” says Barnaul parapsychologist Natalya Petrova.

By the way, brownies were seen and communicated with not only by people with psychic difficulties, but also by ordinary residents of Barnaul. For example, teacher Lyudmila Mishina told how she met in a brownie.

It was at night, as if in some kind of haze, but I immediately realized that it was a brownie. It was small, black and very fluffy. “I even remember my feeling - I really wanted to cuddle him,” recalls Lyudmila Mishina. “What struck me most was his eyes: huge, yellow and unblinking. By the way, in appearance he was very similar to the cat Behemoth from the series “The Master and Margarita”. But I didn’t see the brownie’s tail. I tried to ask him: “For better or for worse?”, but I still didn’t understand what he answered me. It seems he muttered something like: “To goodness!”

And soon Lyudmila Alekseevna and her family moved to a new spacious apartment, so the appearance of the brownie turned out to be a good sign. By the way, even museum workers collect stories about brownies.

Most of the stories about the meeting with the brownie were told to us in the Zonal district,” says Natalya Gribanova, head of the local history museum of the Altai State Pedagogical Academy. “One day a local woman went to bed. Suddenly at night she felt something black, wet, hairy, the size of a sheep, fall on her chest. She believed that it was the brownie who began to strangle her. By the way, in such a situation, it is recommended to either read prayers, or, conversely, swear with choice obscenities so that the brownie lags behind.

The brownie will always warn the owners about upcoming important events in a prophetic dream or by coming in person. When you see him, you need to ask: “For better or for worse?” says parapsychologist Natalya Petrova. - If he suffocates - for worse, if he is soft and caresses - for good. If the brownie does not accept a person (whether the owner or the guest), then he will strangle him at night.

How to make friends with a brownie

It is best to establish a good relationship with the hostess. According to the parapsychologist, in order to make friends with him, you must feed and water the hostess. Late in the evening, before going to bed, leave a small apple, a plate of milk, some bread, and a cup of cottage cheese in a secluded place in the kitchen. Say the words of the conspiracy:

Grandpa-house-street,

Come into my little house,

Eat some bread

Listen to the new owner.

Eat, help yourself, don’t be offended by me,

Save happiness, guard the house,

Kick out the strangers.

Then he crosses the leftover treat and goes to bed. Before going to bed, read the “Our Father” three times.

Good or evil brownie?

According to beliefs, the brownie will be favorable to those who lead a normal lifestyle.

If there are quarrels in the house, constant drinking, etc., then the brownie will be aggressive. If it’s cozy, calm, and the food smells delicious, then the brownie is blissful and helps the owners - looks after the children, nothing goes missing in the house, etc. - experts say.

When moving

It is believed that when moving, you must definitely invite the brownie with you. When leaving the old house, say the phrase three times: “Brownie, brownie, come with us.” But that's not all. The brownie may not like the new place, and then he will express his dissatisfaction to the owners. And this is completely unpleasant: at night, cabinet doors begin to slam, strange creaks are heard, things disappear. In this case, appease the brownie.

Even if all this seems implausible and fictitious, sometimes thoughts still come to mind: “What if it’s true, there’s something in this...”. Probably, it is for this reason that we spit three times over our left shoulder, when returning home we always look in the mirror and are afraid of spilling salt...

I want to tell you about an incident that happened to me more than ten years ago. In March 2003, I came back from an evening walk, went into my office, I had to finish another article for a local publication, but somehow the work didn’t work out, and I decided to just watch TV, lay down on the sofa and don’t remember how I fell asleep . And so, at about three in the morning I woke up from a loud cat purring, without opening my eyes, I realized that my cat was purring, warming itself at my feet. At the same time, I opened my eyes and saw on a chair that stood near the desktop right at my eye level, a black cat who was sitting on my chair and looking at me. The office was relatively bright from street lighting, so I could see the animal. I closed my eyes for a few seconds and a trembling ran through my body. A few seconds later, I opened my eyes again and saw the following picture, this cat, as if squatting, tucking its front paws under itself, as cats usually do. At this time, I couldn’t even lift a finger, I just looked at this cat, and in just a few seconds he disappeared into thin air. Magic, and that's all!

Once, in my childhood, I heard that a brownie could appear in the guise of a black cat, and in such cases you need to ask him “for better or worse?” If the cat laughs, then it’s good, but if he says “huh” or “hudoo,” then expect trouble. But what could you ask this cat in this situation when you fell into a stupor? Well, first of all, where did this cat come from in the apartment? Further, a cat is purring at your feet, if any cat appeared in the apartment, and the cat, realizing that its boundaries were violated, would turn on such a siren! And here he lies at his feet and purrs peacefully. So, the cat didn’t see this cat and didn’t even smell him, but only I saw him? Then there was no time for sleep. Sipping aromatic coffee, I gradually moved away from what I had seen and began to sort through in my head why I saw this cat, began to leaf through the literature, and then, quite by accident, Bulgakov’s novel “The Master and Margarita” caught my eye, in which there is a charming character “Cat” Hippopotamus". Wow! – I thought – So, it means that the Behemoth Cat himself came to me?!

And I felt somehow uneasy, but curiosity took over, what did this mean? Such characters don’t just appear; they usually come to warn about certain events. And then the ubiquitous Internet came to my aid. I must say that I had to spend the rest of the night, morning and afternoon searching for the truth, but I never found this very truth. But I found many similar cases that happened to different people and at different times. Well, I thought, at least I’m not alone in this. Everyone describes this vision as a meeting with a brownie. Personally, I think that the brownie looks somehow different. Unfortunately, I never asked the cat why he came to me, whether he brought good or bad news? But after some time, a streak of bad luck began in my life, which lasted for several years. No, nothing terrible happened, it’s just that over the course of several years, no matter what I took on, everything slipped through my fingers like sand. This is probably what the night visitor wanted to warn me about; I asked him then why he came: “for worse or for good?” Perhaps I would have been warned about future events, and those who are warned are forearmed. If the cat Behemoth comes to you at night, then do not rush to throw a slipper at him and tell him to “screw!” Remember, he came to you for a reason, but wants to warn you about a certain event, and therefore ask him: “for better or worse?”

Chapter I. For worse or for better?

Your life is a path on which you are given the opportunity to go through various tests and find your soul.

Valentina Tolkunova

Sometimes there come times in life when you think: “No, I can’t handle it! Just a little more and everything will collapse!” Everything around you changes - the situation, circumstances, people - and you don’t know whether it’s for good or for bad. It seems that everything that you have built up until now with the best intentions is moving from its place and coming at you like a storm: “What you fought for, that’s what you ran into...”

You are confused, it is difficult for you. And suddenly a Man appears next to you. Friend, assistant, mentor...

And life magically transforms. It seems like nothing special is happening, but you feel: everything falls into place, becomes clearer and continues to go as it should.

And then faith in yourself, in your strength, returns to you.

But the main thing is that you begin to see what was previously hidden from you.

This happened to me in 2005.

Where it all started

Before that, my beloved sister Margarita and I worked for 15 years at the Russian Shaping Federation. I was the chief physician of the federation and traveled a lot around the country: I trained trainers and medical workers of our branches (in the 90s, shaping was very popular in the country, and branches grew in big and small cities like mushrooms after rain). Computer testing for beginners; drawing up an individual nutrition program and a set of physical exercises to correct the figure; determining the intensity of physical activity depending on health status, etc. There was a lot of work. I took advanced training courses for doctors in dietetics and received additional education in the field of sports medicine. At the same time, Rita and I studied advanced Western technologies for “creating an ideal body” - special techniques, massage techniques, physiotherapeutic procedures. And in the end they decided to open a medical office for figure correction on the basis of the federation.

I want to say that in those days we had never heard of services of this kind in our country. So our office instantly became known throughout Moscow. The number of clients was huge. And my sister and I, accordingly, gained enormous experience in our business.

Several years passed like this. Our knowledge and capabilities grew. We studied a lot, traveled abroad, adopted the experience of colleagues in the best beauty clinics in America, France, Italy, Portugal, Brazil, and Japan.

The small hall in which the office was located no longer suited us. It could not accommodate the medical equipment we needed. In the end, it did not accommodate everyone who wanted to become slimmer and more attractive!

Rita and I increasingly began to think about opening our own health and beauty clinic. And in 2002, such an opportunity presented itself - not just one, but two! That is, it turned out that my sister and I could open not one, but two centers of our own! And then we started thinking... The demand for our services was such that, working together, we could not satisfy it. And it would be absurd to hold hands tightly when you can separate and thereby double the reception of the suffering.

That's what we did. Rita headed the Aesthetic Medicine Center, and I headed the Rimmarita Aesthetics and Health Center.

And here began for me what I wrote about at the beginning of the chapter...

Time to collect stones

My sister and I are twins and as children we were like two peas in a pod. They said about us: “They look at each other like in a mirror.” We have been together all our lives, inseparable from one another. We walked to kindergarten holding hands. To school too. Together they graduated from the 1st Moscow Medical Institute. And, in general, our specialties were related. I became a cardiac resuscitator, Rita became a cardiologist. And we are both candidates of medical sciences. During 15 years of working together, my sister and I resolved any issues together. And I always knew: together we are strong.

And then suddenly I'm left alone. I had the feeling that half of my body had disappeared somewhere. No arm, no leg... In general, I felt like a person with disabilities. Meanwhile, the “Rimmarita” case was not expected. The decision was made: “The center will exist, the center will live!” Bridges have been burned, the Rubicon has been crossed. Arrangement of premises, negotiations with builders and designers; purchase of equipment, conclusion of foreign contracts; recruiting and training staff is an unimaginable mass of worries and problems! What about the management of the center? I have never managed anyone, even though I was the senior doctor of the federation! I am first and foremost a doctor, a specialist. And a woman. Weak, by the way, like all women in the world...

I lost my confidence. And although she did not give up and stubbornly moved her legs in the direction of the goal, she was under terrible tension.
