A tree of 6s - rest in peace

There seems to be some confusion about the 6s in the tarot.
Six is the 'midpoint' of the tree of life. Mid way down the centre to number 10, the start of the next tree. It gives rest, a pause, refection on the past and future but no pain at all. You are in the right place - very centered. No effort, no nostaligia, no stress and no need. These are found in the 5s.
In the tarot the sixes imo mean:
Wands - a rest from action. (the race is finished, its hard at the top!);
Cups - a rest from anything emotional (free from grief, its happy acceptance and peace);
Swords - a rest from mental stresses ( imo one of the best rests we can have! No stress);
Coins - a rest from dealing with material goods or earning money (holiday yippee).

Happy holidays.

A Night with the Stars BBC2 18th Dec 2011

A fantastic programme hosted by Prof Brian Cox.

BUT I don't like it when presenters, who have obviously never studied the esoteric arts, criticise them. A touch of Dawkinism here. (As it takes all sorts to make a world, thank you all for being you).
Additional note - yes I am qualified to criticise. Former Manager, Teacher, assessor and verifier.
He complained about "New Age woo woo" and about people with astrological signs tattooed on their bottoms. (confession - I don't have any tattoos)

What he did say during the programme more than confirmed the existence of New Age everything opposed to discrediting it.

For example, he held a diamond, warmed it and told us that as particles in it warmed, they had to move to another energy field and that no other particles in the whole universe could be in the same place - so everything was subtly moved. He continued to state that everything is connected to everything else.
Err...What has New Age 'woo woo' always claimed????

I assume that on cooling the particles would return to their place of origin - or that if something was out of balance, then a place of more balance.

Methinks that this is crystal healing or any sort of healing and would account for New Age mumbo jumbo actually working!

Would Prof Cox be interested in a course?

Do watch the programme if you can it is highly entertaining and informative in more ways than one.

No Hands Reiki - The light touch?

I have had reports that some students are being taught 'no hands' Reiki.
I use this term because the hand positions are held several inches away from the body. In other words, they don't touch.

Surely this is aura healing?
I used to finish off the session (and any complementary therapy) with some auric work but unless it is distance healing, Reiki needs a practical hands on approach. (modesty always intact of course).

Here's my ideas on how it works. Try it yourself now:
1. Place a hand on your knee;

2 Your knee's nerves sense the pressure - no matter how light;

3. With the body's heat not being dispersed from the hand or the body part, the nerves pick up that sensation of excess heat;

4. Where heat is present, the capillaries dilate bringing more blood to the area;

5. The blood brings more nutrients, oxygen and 'antibug' agents to the area....and removes waste;

6. Simultaneously, the mind becomes more conscious of the area amplifying the physical healing effect.

This combination is very unlikely to happen if you hover your hand over the area.

So hands off our hands on approach please.
