I'm not holding my breath, Stilly - but I AM seriously considering going back to university and applying my ever-growing first-hand knowledge of / abilities in energetic healing techniques to serious and practical scientific investigation. In that case, you just may reading about my work in scientific journals before this earth-walk is over.

And if that happens, it will be thanks to the inspiration and motivation of discussions like these - right here on the Mudcat! :-)

I hold many of them in high reguard; it's just the New Age appropriation of all and sundry that are lumped together into a touchy-feely potpourri that I find objectionable. And the number of gullible people who hitch their wagons to that pseudo-philosophical juggernaut.

I agree wholeheartedly. That's why achieving scientific
explanations/validations of energetic healing techniques is so important. It would make all the misinformation and skepticism a thing of the past. And it would put all the bogus theories, "traditions", "new-age" quacks and charlatans out of business.

And look who's talking out of the other side of her mouth about making words "sweet." What a short memory you have, daylia.

We've had our differences, Stilly. Please notice the past tense - let's keep it that way ok? On-line battling and exchanging insults accomplishes nothing of value that I can see, except entertaining readers who enjoy these squabbles vicariously. That kind of behavior diverts attention from the (important!) topic at hand, while making both of us look petty and foolish.

Neither of us are fools - and I know we both deserve better.
