Your sister does energy work, is that right? I remember taking a course in Myofascial Release, and they talked about how important it was to center yourself before seeing a patient in order to make sure you could really feel the subtle shifts and tugs of the fascia. We also learned some cranio-sacral techniques which were fascinating. Some very odd things happened to my body when I was practicing these techniques...that would suggest that there was energy afoot. It was kind of scary and kind of cool at the same time. I think it is related to being highly sensitive. Perhaps I could sense the energy exchange and flow as I was working...?

> I am starting to sound silly.I don't think this is silly at all. I agree that meditation or any type of practice that focuses inward and aims towards stillness and just being is a good, evolved thing to do. I know I always feel better, but then again, I am not consistent in my practice. Why do we always have a hard time developing habits that we KNOW are good for us?

Thank you for your kind words. I was hoping you would reply in this thread, because I was really interested in your thoughts!
Take care,
