As luck would have it, this fine gentleman took a look at my left hand and led me through the bamboo shoots of the orient. Apparently there are three triangles in the centre known as the Golden Triangle. Fascinating…

    How does it differ from western palmistry nick I understand in eastern philosophy they believe in a ying and a yang , yings ain’t what they used to be :-)

    Hey, he’s got a great little stall there. My 2 phrenology heads would look nice there along with his palmistry hand. I’m very much into this sort of thing.

    I’m into this sort of thing too. I went for an Angel reading at the weekend. Totally amazing…..has anyone else been for one? I usually go to see a Medium, so this was something different.

    I’m not sure about this sort of thing.
    I’m more of a what will be will be sort of person. Plus I’ve got a huge scar on the palm of my hand – might mix things up a bit.

    I like his face though – very friendly.

    Hope you’re fully wired up and operational now Nick. All systems go.

    Cool – I am lovin the lamps!!

    Me too Helen, but mines on my knee. Never been for a knee reading though so it’s not been a problem!

    Sylv, I had a friend do an angel reading for me out of the blue once. It was nice to receive and quite positive and uplifting but I’m with Helen and not really sure about it all. I was touched to receive such a thoughtful gift from someone who it really does mean something to though.

  10. Sylv on 19th January 2010 at 9:37 pm permalink

    Anna-Maria, my reading was positive and I did feel recharged by it. I think you need to be open to it, which I am, won’t live my life by it though. The strongest message was to listen to my intuition and act with my heart and not with my head. I imagine it was a lovely gift, I’m thinking about arranging a reading for a friend and not certain how it will be received. Good to hear you appreciate it, so may get one for her.

    Que sera, sera. And no Doris.
    Maybe some people have a gift, but there are too many charlatans.
    (me, too. Seem to have longer ‘lifeline’ after stanley knife incident..i’ll let you know in 100 years time…)

    I got my scar when I fell off a swing in France, on a school trip.

    Ooh! Can’t believe I’ve never done that but it sounds pretty cool!

    Love how sporty the guy looks.

    Nice man, and knowledgeable too. Had some acupuncture as well. Needed to fly in clear wind:

    I’ve seen acupuncture work very well on friends. I tried reflexology but the poor guy couldn’t touch my feet without me getting completely ticklish. Was so very much looking forward to it as well. Hmm, perhaps I should try again.

    I was referred to an acupuncturist to try and cure me of cluster migraines but unfortunately it didn’t work. Gave it a go though.
    A friend at work has trained as a reflexologist. handy to have around. She’s thinking of doing the hopi ear candle training. I’d be well up for that. Mr B reckons I’m deaf. I just think he mumbles… everyone does. :D

  20. Elissa on 20th January 2010 at 10:47 am permalink

    I tried the ear candles after having a really bad middle ear infection. It worked wonders!

  21. Helen on 20th January 2010 at 10:49 am permalink

    Oh well, I’m determined now Elissa. Thank you :)

  22. Elissa on 20th January 2010 at 11:09 am permalink

    No worries Helen. It’s an odd sensation the first time but it really cleared the blockage! I was so deaf! You can buy them at the Chinese markets here in China Town from the Chinese Herbalist. Do you have something like that there? If you do it yourself you will need someone to help you. It’s impossible on your own!

    Still snowing there?

  23. Helen on 20th January 2010 at 11:15 am permalink

    No snow !! Hurray !

    We do have such establishments here. Who could I ask to help me out ? Who has the most to gain from me getting my hearing back ?

    Graham ! Graham ! Help !

  24. Elissa on 20th January 2010 at 11:19 am permalink

    Graham sounds like a good choice. I’m sure he would prefer you didn’t burn your hair and/or your ear off! LOL Who would do the ironing!!?? ;)

    As we know, there are good practitioners and there are not so good practitioners. Seeing an awful practisiner of music does not put me off music. Music therapy works as retail therapy does, as every therapy that does its stuff and works its wonders does. Oh to be in expert hands… Life is so worth every raindrop of enquiry is it not? Oh to be as pure and clear as one too… Just to fall where ever it does. To fall into just the right place and just the right hands for just the right treatment. Sometimes simply drifting into a shop for some water is all that is needed. Sometimes just a friendly hug, sometimes a bloody good kick up the Khyber Pass from a foot! And does that need to be David Beckham’s? How frustrating would that be to wait for? Especially when all you need is so close to hand and such magic afoot…

  27. Helen on 20th January 2010 at 1:16 pm permalink

    I agree completely.

    I wish the acupuncture had worked for my migraines. It was more to do with the comings and goings of migraine pain that stopped it working I think. I know some people who swear by acupuncture for constant conditions. You do what you can don’t you ?
    Horses for courses.
    Music therapy… don’t know what I’d do if I couldn’t listen to music. Keeps me going. The world would be a very dull place without it.

    Drifting is good. Not closing off and staying open to possibility is good. My drift into the little pub up in Stoke-Newington that served up a terrific organic cider, Sunday Times and Radio 4 on a lazy Sunday was very much a dream I’d conjured up in my head only moments before and lo and behold. Turned the corner and there it was, door open ready for me to step in. Glad to see acupuncture and reflexology mentioned here being as I simply forgot about it. Would be a great addition to these walks through the old neighborhood oak alleys, camelias beinging to unfold, Pavane on constant repeat… I’d be so chilled and lose my urban edge. Looking forward to it.

  29. Tex on 20th January 2010 at 5:28 pm permalink

    Speaking of chillin’, grabbed this tune off the playlist from my favorite breakfast cafe that overlooks the Caribbean. From that serene world to yours, certain to warm up a cold day…

    Since we seem to be a knowing lot when it comes to alternative therapy, does anyone have a view on reiki (hope that is the correct spelling)? Tex, try the reflex again, just tell whoever does it to use a firm hand and you should be fine. Or just get the giggles, that’ll make you feel good anyway. Can’t do a smiley face on this keyboard, but I’m sending you one!

  31. Tex on 20th January 2010 at 7:44 pm permalink

    Hey there, Sylv!
    The reflexologist was one of Singapore’s finest. After a few tries, he smiled and said, “I think you were okay before you came in. Just keep up with the giggles.” You were right.

  32. Tex on 20th January 2010 at 7:56 pm permalink

    But yeah, I’d like to try it again though anyway being as the trip to Singapore was absolute ages ago, just for the sake of being aware of things, the connection and the relaxation factor.

  33. Elissa on 20th January 2010 at 9:46 pm permalink

    Has anyone tried a Lymphatic drainage massage? This would be relief for your pufferfishness after a gig perhaps Nick. This is great for water retention and getting rid of all those nasty toxins.

    Buying new music is my double fantasy. The perfect combination of retail and music therapy. I wonder what John Lennon’s was?

  34. Helen on 20th January 2010 at 10:08 pm permalink

    Elissa, what a sweet song that was.

    I agree on your double fantasy.

    Nice night.

  35. Tex on 20th January 2010 at 11:23 pm permalink

    Lymphatic drainage massage? No, but I remember feeling pretty drained by my accounting class in high school. Does that count?

  36. Elissa on 21st January 2010 at 3:42 am permalink

    lol Yes, Tex it would be up there! Some sort of mind numbing massage that would have been! :) Makes me think of Nick’s song ‘Mr Shirt and Tie’ = Accounting Teacher….

  37. Tex on 21st January 2010 at 5:18 am permalink

    Mr. Shirt and Tie? I do not know this accounting song. Hmmm!

  38. Tex on 21st January 2010 at 5:21 am permalink

    And as for John Lennon’s double fantasy? Well, that’d be Yoko Ono’s ‘arse’ as a hat, I’m thinking.

  39. Elissa on 21st January 2010 at 6:47 am permalink

    Another brilliant B-side Tex! (from The World single I think) The reference to the Accounting Teacher was purely my observation and not necessarily Mr Heyward’s. :)

    lol re the Yoko comment…. :-O

    Music Therapy ~ I had an interesting expience a few years back as I went for regression with one of the top guns at the hari krishna centre in London ~ (he wsa introduced to me by a firend and although I was wary I thought I would knotch up another wild experience :) )He lived in a very nice house in Essex which is where I went to see him.. He had this home made wooden bed in his therapy room… he had cut various different size holes in the base and around the sides and had added speakers; set about 2 inchs away from them.. in total I think there was over 30 of these holes all with its own speaker… he invited me to lay down on it which of course I did and played (his) music through it.. and the whole bed vibrated with sound… it was EXTRAordinary! the most relax I have ever ever felt..then he tooooook me alllll the way back…. back back to the beginning.. :)

    I had acupuncture today, as every Thursday. It keeps me going. I feel that it saves me. The bloke literally did when he found something once that could have been life-threatening. The body is an open book to some of these practioners. And of course they attend to the whole person, unlike allopathic medicine. A naturopath I once saw is in the process of writing a book confronting Big Pharma head on and I can’t wait until it’s published later this year. Western medicine has its place but when it’s now to the point where disorders are being Created and then drugs developed for these Issues and they’re then prescribed by doctors it’s out of hand.

  42. kate on 21st January 2010 at 4:43 pm permalink

    Very true,tlh. Western doctors turn to drugs for reasons not always to the patients benefit.
    when my younger son twisted his neck – aged about 4 – (eldest sat on toybox lid with little brother inside), i took him to dr, who suggested a muscle relaxant.
    I asked about a chiropractor & was told not for a child. Thought sod you matey & went to my osteo; who very gently, over 2 weeks, almost imperceptibly, manipulated him back right.
    Also used homeopathy, worked like magic on elder one, especially while teething, no effect on the younger. And its not all in the mind, that, cos it works for cows!

    My prayers are with Beth and her mother at this very sad time

  44. Tex on 21st January 2010 at 8:43 pm permalink

    Lonehydrangea,
    Definitely with you on that one, that the body is an open book. You just have to listen, so many people don’t or just override what they hear. Sometime the body shouts at you but most of the time it is a quiet yet steady whisper. Got a crash course and front row seat on Western (treating the symptom) versus Eastern (treating the cause) medicine years ago with dear ol’ mom. We traveled quite extensively for treatment and I got to see first hand what worked and didn’t. Amazing stuff going on ‘out there’, so much of it within the human body and soul, also staying in touch with the natural world.

    Your post, Gary. Sad to read about this news. Which one of our posters is Beth?

  45. Elissa on 21st January 2010 at 9:05 pm permalink

    Sad news indeed Gary.

    By your comments you were upset by the NHS the other day. Hope it was resolved in a peaceful way; thoughts with you and yours.
