When You See The Change

I was reading something recently where supposedly we don’t see ourselves changing.  Part of me was nodding. This is why people get measured and weighed before working with a personal trainer, take before pictures then start their diet, and keep a pair of “I want to fit into those again” jeans around. We don’t see…

Testing A Healing Practice

It’s not uncommon for people to have a double standard when it comes to traditional and alternative healing practices. With regular medicine we demand efficacy.
