ESP Fingers!

I'm starting to think I have this gift!

It seems that even before people take their clothes off, my fingers just know exactly the sore spots before I've even palpated or seen the muscle...it's quite strange!

Today I was giving my classmate an impromptu massage in a break in return for the one she gave me...it's like my fingers just have a "sixth sense"...it's quite bizarre...or maybe it is the rapport I have with certain people?

Even when I went to learn reiki some time ago- before we'd been taught how or explained anything about it...I did what came intuitively and the 'patient' got up and said..."WOW, THAT WAS AMAZING" in that kind of capitalised exclamation! And I honestly didn't know cos I hadn't learnt anything yet!

So maybe...maybe that is a gift people who are fated or born to be Healers get :) If I think about it too much my brain just starts spinning with question marks so I'll just think of it as a normal fact of life for the time being! LOL.

Guinea Pigging Myself!

How fun!...having fun guinea pigging myself with different formulas...I guess that is the only true way to learn...become a druggie-at least temporarily!!

In any case when you're putting together and boiling the raw herbs there is a certain sense of satisfaction...it all feels so natural and of times past!

I'm especially excited to go buy the ingredients and decoct...I figure the body knows...I'll drink a bit just to test for strength/adverse effects...but I'm pretty sure it'll be fine...just I'm pretty sensitive and being of a small build I need to be a bit more cautious...

A Balanced Lifestyle

This is my goal for this semester...along with staying healthy, productive, on top of things and not stressed...a picture of groundedness...let's see if I can do it!

I smell like weed.

Somebody really needs to invent a moxa de-stinker!

Oh well at least I'm not too self conscious so I'm not aware if people are staring at me cos they think I'm a massive weed head.

In any case, it was suggested to me by a superior that I am suited to specializing in the psycho-emotional -oooooh! Damn, I knew I should have just done that Psych degree the first time round! It ended up catching up with me anyhow LOL!

DONE! Happy Days!

Sheesh in the 23 years of my life or so that I have devoted to formal education...THAT, for some strange reason, was the most difficult project/assignment EVER!

And so very very insidious...at the outset it looked suprisingly straight forward and simple...yet, once we actually tried to do it, it became a laborious, agonizing and surprisingly mind boggling task...further complicated by a lack of available resources to the English speaker.

Anyhow...another one down...only 3 more to go before I can say Bye Bye to The Student Life!!

LATER, folks! :-D

Due to Treatment or not?

One of my treatments from 2 or 3 weeks ago who suffers pcos, oligomenorrhoea/amenorrhoea FINALLY got her period...wondering if it had anything to do with the treatment or just eventuated as a matter of course? Something I'm definitely interested to get more experience in treating cos when these things span such huge time periods(MONTHS) it is really hard to tell unless you have several years worth of case observations under your belt...

found this energy healing resource really cool in terms of acupoint prescriptions for enneagram types...e.g.

A life of self-neglect

wow I am so not used to the luxury of more than 6 hours sleep that now I keep getting up before 6am!

I realised during semester life is so much like a pressure cooker and that blogging etc is all just a means to let off this steam...once on holidays I think the blogging and spending so much time on the net distracting becomes rather redundant...good thing too- will be nice to have a "real life" again!

Any case just under a week to go to hand in my final paper. I guess I should get started. The earlier it's done the earlier I can "have a life"!

p.s since this blog is 'documentary' I have to note that the exams this year were so stressful I ended up buying THREE pairs of shoes directly after the final one...I think it is almost like the overindulgence is a weak attempt to compensate for all the self neglect that goes on for the entire semester...sleep deprivation, meal deprivation, house deprivation...everything basically when you so lack spare time it's existential minimalism...you are functioning in such a rigid hectic schedule...all moments of spare time are not actually spare time but "in-between" moments ie 20 spare minutes popped up cos your class finished early or whatever. It's pretty sad. But the student existence will end...and I guess it'll be a little sad but also a WHOLE LOTTA RELIEF when it actually does!
