It's a long post, I know, but it's worth the read :)  Distance Healing Aside from a traditional Reiki hands on session, I also offer distance healing sessions.

Object Release I have looked over these five faucets of Yama and attempted to contemplate which one would help me most improve myself. I have decided that my weakest point in this area is Aparigraha.

and colleagues, and their sense of accountability in unforeseen situations. I have seen therapists develop a sense of purpose and satisfaction in their work when working with patients because of their commitment to individualized service. At PRANA Functional Manual Therapy, therapists would devote up to an hour to their patients, in initially allotted half-hour slots, so that they could better develop treatments for each patient.

Oleander Soup, Mmmmmm . . . Bitter We expect powerful medicinal agents to taste bad, and oleander soup is no exception. It’s the bitterness of “natural chemotherapy”, and it’s critical to begin slowly. If you experience side effects (like I did), discontinue until you feel better, and don’t make the mistake of thinking it’s going to kill you, so resume once you feeling better. Some substances that are dangerous to cancer can cause you to feel uncomfortable temporarily. You can go to Cancer Tutor

Fig. 1 Nosferatu climbs the staircase The shadow of an elongated figure looms on the wall, and with agonising slowness, mounts the staircase to where his helpless victim lies waiting. This image (see Fig. 1) has been called “the most sinister use of shade in all Weimar cinema, a field crowded with strong competitors” (Jackson,91). Nosferatu, A Symphony of Horror, was made in 1922 at the height of German Expressionism, and while not a pure example of Expressionist film the way The Cabinet of Dr

centers, were as the minor chakras are physiological; and are interlinked via the nadi system (meaning network of tubes or pipes). These minor chakras can be likened to the nervous system and in a similar way the nadi emerge from each chakra carrying Prana in both directions as there is a forward and backward pranic motion in the nadi.

The practice of yoga in a group setting is a new phenomenon. Modern postural yoga in the East and in the West, find the components of the shala (practice space) and the Sangha (gathering for practice) to be very important components of the practice.

The practitioner serves as a conduit for this force. They
