The Ghost of Darwin

A friend asked me why we did not see spirits or ghosts etc all the time.
I think the answer is obvious...
If we did see "things" that are not physically there - even if they do exist, we would not stand a chance of crossing the road safely.

End of species.

My thanks to Darwin.
 

The Secrets of Quantum Physics - Definately a Major Issue

One of those BBC documentaries I watched on catch up (and re-watched) which are thoroughly engaging.

It explained that quantum particles seem to be everywhere at once and only appear when we try and measure them.

I may have not got this all correct - you will have to watch it yourself or perhaps you know already!

It struck me however, that as they generally hide from us, that they are very much like the major cards in the tarot. My deck certainly acts like quantum particles.

The ancients seemed to know it all already. What's your view?

Time Off - so watch out!

Time off – so watch out!

In my therapy days I used to ask all my clients to take their watches off - even if I was not massaging their wrists. This mainly applied to Reiki and Reflexology.

Only one Aromatherapy client ever refused – she had an enormously expensive watch and that was staying put. I had to “work around it” and assume the stress benefit of keeping it on was greater than it leaving her person.

It was the suggestion to “take time off” and relax for maximum therapeutic effects.

… I’m doing it all the time now. On retiring I took my watch off and have only worn it on one occasion since.

Here’s is a good example - straight from the couch...
What a great place to have an excellent massage – Lavenders New Age shop in Clacton. 

What's Cooking? Not Me!

Lavender harvested from my garden.

So What’s Cooking? Not me.

I was given and gratefully received a couple of oven burn protectors. They fit over the shelf edges and do not become hot in the oven so you can accidently brush your hands or wrists against them and not be burned. I don’t really need them.

I have not had an oven burn for years – ha ah the wonderful attributes of Lavender essential oil.

Should you get one of those small oven burns – the scarring irritatingly lasts for years… after running your hand under the cold tap for 10 minutes, apply a neat drop of lavender oil to the affected area. The burn heals very quickly and, in my experience, there are no long term scars.

Funnily enough, I only had to do this once and never suffered again!

Of course first aid principles apply – if it is a big burn it cannot initially be treated this way.
