REIKI AND ME

Image
Reiki was developed in Japan in 1922 by Dr. Usui as an alternative form of medicine to reduce stress and promote healing through light touch, which transfers energy from the practitioner to the individual. Although I had heard of Reiki in the past, I had never experienced it personally. When I managed a rehabilitation hospital for those with recent strokes, amputations, head injuries, etc., I was contacted by a group of people who practiced Healing Touch, a similar treatment method. I agreed to let them use my hospital to train practitioners. We were cautious in introducing this to patients, as they were required to consent. Most patients were open to Healing Touch and reported feeling better and more relaxed after the sessions. I consider myself open-minded and wanted to give Reiki a try. A close friend has a daughter named Heather Elizabeth, who has her own Reiki practice. Heather Elizabeth is a licensed master's level social worker but found traditional psychotherapy me...

CHANGE THE SUBJECT

After living over three months in an apartment complex for people over 62 and listening to group conversations periodically, I'm at a loss about handling future encounters when health issues are the primary topic.   If you're around people my age for longer than a few minutes, the conversation invariably centers on various ailments, operations, and conditions.

OUR MISGUIDED TEXAS LAWMAKERS

Image
Our notorious Governor Abbott participated in a photo op with the parents of young people who died from overdoses of fentanyl.   The occasion was when he signed into law a measure that allows prosecutors to ask for the death penalty for anyone found guilty of manufacturing or distributing fentanyl.  The risk of this law is that there might be even more deaths if, at a party, someone takes a pill laced with fentanyl; no one might report the adverse reaction for fear that they will be tried for murder. Another law was passed that required schools to educate students in grades 6 through 12 about the dangers of fentanyl.  Hopefully, the curriculum will address all the risks of street drugs, drug and alcohol abuse, and subsequent addictions.  Maybe even throw in eating disorders! Since 2019, there has been a 500% increase in fentanyl-related deaths in Texas, with 2,000 people dying in 2022.  Most often, people buy what they think are opioids from the street. Hence, t...
