Interesting and Exhausting Weekend

[bellajgw]

Friday night I went out with family to see this movie and discussion about energetic healing (something that fascinates me) and found myself walking into yet another misguided psuedo-cult following of yet another chiropractor claiming to be a fabulous energetic healer. ARG! I hate it when flim flam men use facts and highly regarded professionals to pad their own flimsy techniques. I hate it even more when they send their followers out to try to convince others of their "gifts." What a waste of 3 hours. My entire family and I left just before the laying on of hands and the special jesus juice. Ok, they were laying hands on people but I knew nothing about any jesus juice. Though I did notice that the people who drank the bottled water all stayed for the laying on of hands part.


The rest of the weekend followed suit. Didn't get much working out done but did get a lot of cleaning and errands done. Hate wasting weekends like that.

Haven't weighed myself in about 5 days, so yay! Trying to kick the daily weigh-in habit. I'm also still having trouble keeping my caffeine intake low. May have to nap today instead of taking lunch. Or have a cup of real coffee......decisions, decisions.

Is Energetic healing the same thing as Therapeutic Touch?

My31168, I make herbal teas and I have one I've named Another Notch because its made with ingredients known to help with weight loss (green tea, cinnamon, ginger, damiana, hibiscus). It tastes yummy and helps boost metabolism (green tea and cinnamon), helps keep blodd sugar level (ginger and damiana) and helps gently detox the body and get rid of excess water weight (damiana and hibiscus). Unfortunately it doesn't have as much caffeine as the 5 cups of coffee I'm used to. hahaha

G - no, not Therapeutic Touch, but thats the first time I heard of someone trying to take the whole concept as their own.

No, this group was called Reconnection or something like that. It was really sad. Personally, I've seen the amazing powers of energetic healing and I'm not saying its wide-spread or anything, but it does happen....what I hate is when people take the concept and use it simply to make money and gain power and prestige. Its really sad. You can usually tell within 5-10 minutes of conversation who the real healers are and who are the wanna-bes. This room was filled with wanna-bes.
