Today is the last day of the kids' spring break, which means I will be able to start doing homework as usual

I think a lot of people underestimate the power of emotional or intellectual clarity in bodily health, and as such concepts like doing mental self-care, reiki, meditiation, or breathing exercises to help the body work more effectively come off like 'magic' even when explaining how you use them to people who are familiar with them. I find I don't always effectively articulate *why* I find myself more prone to illness when I don't keep up my regular spiritual practices, either. I end up with people thinking, "Ooookaaay, so the germs get her if she doesn't meditate. Has she considered maybe, you know, real medicine?" Or I come up with fellow pagans thinking, "Oh, cool, she can heal the flu WITH HER BRAIN!!!"

Much love,
Rowan

Thank goodness, someone else understands!

it's always frustrating when you're both saying the same thing with different words. I had a run-in with a nurse like that...

Even more frustrating when they are sure you don't know what they are talking about!
