the end

I felt enveloped by beauty today, first real day of summer and it smelled like flowers.

thank you for the sweet comment on my profile.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have applied to the group. Meanwhile, no I am not familiar with Vanessa Daou, so next time I am browsing for CDs, I will try to remember to keep my eyes peeled.

Cheers

Take one down , then

I haven't taken any classes on acupuncture yet, but I plan to after I go to a community college to get basic credits.
When I was in 7th grade my mom had a friend that would come to our house weekly and give me, my mom, my sis, and sometimes my brother acupuncture. I loved it. But then the woman moved and I didn't have it done until I moved to Washington 2 years ago. My mom found an acupuncturist here and I went with her twice, but I didn't like how the guy did it so I stopped going and my mom eventually did too. Then a few months ago, I went to an open house at Bastyr College with my sister. I saw that they had acupuncture courses so I sat in on the informational (whatever you want to call it) about the class. Before I went to the open house I had no real plan at all for what I wanted to do for a career, now I know.
What I say about acupunture is only what I've observed for myself and what I learned from going to the open house at Bastyr.
When I say "acupuncture" to people, many of them wince as if it's painful, but it's not. For most acupuncture points in your body, when the needle goes in, you hardly feel it (some points are a little more sensitive than others though). When you get acupuncture, the needles come with their own little tubes, individually packaged, sanitary. The needles are a tiny bit longer than the tubes they come with, the acupuncturist sets the one end of the tube with the neddle in it and the butt end of the needle sticking out of the tube a little. To insert the needle, they tap the butt end of the needle once, pretty quickly. The tip of the needle is in your skin, they toss the tube and if needed, they will carefully twist the needle a little deeper into your skin....... depending on whether you want to take bad energy out (left) or put good energy in (right). This doesn't hurt either, you hardly feel it, the needle doesn't go very far into your skin at all (but also how deep or shallow the needle goes in depends on the point and what part of your body it is, the ear points are very shallow insertions). In your ear there is a point for every organ in your body, each point does healing work on the corresponding organ. Elsewhere on the body, certain points work on that part of the body and some also connect to somewhere else on your body. Sometimes, when your body really needs the healing work at the point that a needle is, your skin will literally crawl up the base of the needle and hold onto it until it's done. I love getting acupunture, it's helped me with my neck and back allignment (after I sprained my ankle). I hope you find someone nearby who does acupuncture.
I have a question for you.... have you ever heard of Reiki (ray-key) before?

so i read yur post and was gonna just give my usually psuedo silly banter.....but then i read about catphish.....and i must say...wow.....i read that and got to relive a peace of happiness from some deep corner of my mind that i had buried under the weight and responsabilities of adulthood.....it felt good to feel that unadulterated smash of emotion where you feel like crying with a giant smile on yur face........thanks silver
