Healing Hands
The History of Reiki: Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. This technique is administered by a Reiki practitioner laying hands on the patient and is based on the idea that an unseen life force energy flows through us, and is what causes us to be stress-free, happy and healthy. If life force energy is low, then sickness is more likely to occur, as well as stress, and unhappiness. However, when having a high life force energy than more positive outcomes occur.

I Don't Want to Get Old
After many years of not worrying about aging, I am beginning to worry. I don't know why, as I take birthdays as being another day older rather than a whole year. Its not the aches and pains as I have always had them, in fact I take the Facebook post of "if I woke up and something didn't hurt I would think I was dead" as my own.

Mirror Dragon Tarot Part 16
Reading for 12-9- thru 12-15-19 The Center card this week is The Devil. With this card at the center, we will likely be faced with aspects of ourselves that we generally do our best to hide. On an astrological note, Chiron, which has been in retrograde since July 6th 2018, goes direct on December 12th. When planets go through major directional shifts - like retrograde movement - their influence becomes stronger as they shift. The planet Chiron represents the archetype of the wounded healer. We all have wounds and to the degree that we can face and accept them we can intentionally heal them. Therein lies the challenge, to heal them we have to acknowledge them. The Devil, as undesirable and shame inducing as he can be, can easily put us in a position to meet our “dark side” face to face. With our old wounds up at the surface along with all the emotions that go with them, we’re in a perfect position to look the painful past in the face and make a final decision to heal and forgive. While we work to maintain the walls and dark corners where we hide our fears and pain, that pain is allowed to fester and grow. Then when we pull up the courage to rip away the walls and bring in some light to address the damage beneath, we get the chance to see what’s there at the core. In this way we can see what we’re dealing with and decide on a course of action. Finding forgiveness in yourself here is key. As we begin the healing process, it’s important to remember to focus on not only those involved in sparking the pain in the first place but - more importantly - ourselves. When we come to the resolution that we no longer choose to hide or cover the hurts we often feel ashamed of - whether we feel that we should have been stronger or smarter than to allow them to happen or not - we can see them clearly. It is then that we realize that those things that seemed so terrible have become beasts without teeth. When we recognize that the chains we thought would hold us forever are not locked. We can see the way out. The fact that the exit was always there but eluded us becomes clear.

What Is an Arm Lift Procedure
An arm lift is becoming an increasingly popular type of cosmetic surgery that people are choosing to have done. As we age our tissues lose tone and firmness and often our skin and fat starts to sag and droop.
