are mixing any way. But at least it's a start of plumming the depths of who/what we are beyond a physical body (admittedly, the two are related). The interplay between id, ego and superego are profound, to say the least.
I too, am open minded. I've had people tell me they were energy workers (no, not the electric utility!), usually Reiki. They'd offer to try it on me, never with any experiential results on my part UNTIL the time I badly pulled my calf-muscle rounding third in a softball game. A few hours later, a woman I had worked with told me she did Reiki and would I be willing to let her give it a try. I told her that I'd never experienced anything in the past. "That's okay, just let me try." I did. She held her hands 6 inches or so from my calf, never actually touching it. Within 10 seconds, my calf muscle began heating up like it had bengay rubbed on it. And my calf muscle, though not entirely healed, felt considerably better afterward. Like I said - anecdotal evidence, and, yes, I was a little shocked, if not pleasantly surprised.
