    Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series .. On this episode, we talk with Prague-based Clairvoyant Master Healer & Mindful Energy Coach Djali Vesela .. Her  life is  a mission to help others to recognise what gifts energy and intuition bear and that feeling unwell can actually be a sign of a breakthrough we can benefit from. Her background is having been borderline depressed and anxious, tackling an unhealed trauma of my father having deceased when she was was six. She looked for answers to her energy ups and downs and inability to be here and now in stimulants like coffee, Guarana or Red Bull and calmers like alcohol and weed. And, with that she dug my hole even deeper. It was only when she started meditating, studying mindfulness and energy that her life started to make sense and be finally a happy one.

According to Buddhism, “hindrances” constitute the various obstacles that prevent peace of mind and mental clarity. On his fourth trio album, it was all inspired by an imaginary journey to the mountain top. His musical journey started when he was a child. Soon he realized that within it he would feel incomparably confident, letting his creativity flow while exploring different sounds and instruments and growing up to discover that it is when playing the piano that he can truly express himself.
