Need A Good Listener? Need to Talk? Need to Talk now?

One thing happening in today's current society is communication loss. As our ways of communicating have evolved through technology, our ability to listen and to be heard has greatly diminished. Sometimes all you need is just someone honest to listen, really listen. Most people aren't necessarily looking for solutions; just empathy, a true understanding and a safe space to say whatever is on in their mind. Honesty in communication is what holds it together.

Studiopjj provides active listening from someone who is natural, unbiased and empathetic. And it's all completely confidential.

A Good Listener is a natural fit for someone in need of unbiased attention, acceptance and understanding, When you book an appointment with me, you are securing a safe space to be your genuine self, and to hear your own thoughts out loud and clear. Listening is a relational experience.

Thinking aloud, allowed.

No criticism.

No judgement.

No interpretation.

Just active listening.

There are other ways in which a Good Listener can serve your needs, such as:

. Practice audience for sermons, lectures, speeches, comedy routines, musical recitals, and all forms of public address.

. Extra set of eyes (a third eye) and ears (a third ear) for bands, dancers, performance artists.

. Just general conversation over a cup of coffee or tea.

When you hire a Good Listener, he is happy to lend you his eyes and ears.

All sessions will be private and kept strictly confidential.

Gem Facts: For Astrologers, Jewelers, and Consumers

I want to bring astrologers, jewelers, and consumers together on a right platform. My focus is to inform gemological facts to astrologers, jewelers, and consumers on issues related to colored stones, diamond, pearl, and coral, because in all cultures they are part of birthstones. Today or tomorrow, consumers are going to purchase and wear birthstones for personal or astrological reasons. Don't you want to know what they truly are? Of course, you do.

. Astrologers and Jewelers

Before astrologers and jewelers recommend birthstones to consumers, they need to act in good faith and know the true facts on colored stones, diamonds, and organic gems in the best interest of their consumers.

. Consumers

Consumers must ask logical questions to their astrologers and jewelers on colored stones, diamonds, and organic gems before purchasing for personal or astrological reasons. Most astrologers and jewelers interpret the gemological characteristics of birthstones differently. Many are not trained or practicing gemologist. Consumers simply don't know the facts because they haven't learnt to ask the right questions.

Consumers are the end users. Consumers must have every right to know the facts because they want to do the right thing.

Did You Know

Kiss vs. Chocolate: A kiss is just a kiss — but when it comes to tongues, nothing compares with chocolate. The study showed that even the most passionate kisses failed to equal the buzz of chocolate. Tests were carried out to record heart and brain activity without stimulation, activity when tasting chocolate and activity when kissing. The study found that at the point chocolate melts in the mouth, all regions of the brain receive a boost far more intense and longer lasting than the mental excitement from kissing. Chocolate also made the heart beat faster — with some volunteers recording a rise from 60 beats a minute to 140. Kissing also set the heart pounding, but the effect did not last as long.

Did You Know

The Moussaieff Red Diamond is a diamond measuring 5.11 carats (1.022 g) with a triangular brilliant cut (sometimes called a trillion or a trilliant cut), rated in color as Fancy Red by the Gemological Institute of America. While this may seem relatively small when compared to other famous diamonds, the Moussaieff Red is, in fact, the largest Fancy Red the GIA reports having rated. The Moussaieff Red is reported to have been found by a Brazilian farmer in the mid-1990s as a rough of approximately 11 carats. The diamond was purchased and cut by the William Goldberg Diamond Corp., where it went by its original name the Red Shield. It is currently owned by Moussaieff Jewelers Ltd.

Did You Know

The Ruby Slippers were worn by Dorothy Gale, a character played by Judy Garland (1922–1969) in the MGM film, "Wizard of Oz," 1939. Unlike most films, "The Wizard of Oz" has endured and even attained greater popularity as it was introduced to new generations of audiences through television. One explanation for the movie's lasting appeal to Americans is its central message: In pursuing what you need, you find that you already have it—an affirmation of the virtue of self-sufficiency. The Ruby Slippers were donated anonymously in 1979. The slippers are one of the most asked about artifacts at the Smithsonian. They are displayed in the National Museum of American History, in an exhibition called Icons of American Culture.
