Chakra work is effective. The Sufis have a variation, and acupuncture is closely related. Orthopedics is a westernized version, as is chiropractic. Some of the literature is off-the-wall or metaphorical, but the basics are sound.

I guess it would work but might stretch out the neck to get it over their butt.

My thing I figured out last year (2019) was that my dad was not my bio-dad, and I have two younger sisters. Big discovery at 60 years old.

I don't see how a mnemonic that doesn't spell anything will help you remember something like the rainbow. I would simply forget the mnemonic. It's much easier to just remember the 3 primary colors and the secondary colors that mixing them produces.

Actually there should only be 6 colors in the rainbow, but historically indigo was added, probably by Isaac Newton, who was influenced by Pythagoras, who practically invented mathematics and saw how there were 7s everywhere. That in turn comes from the bible, as the bible seemed to create the idea that 7 was a perfect number (Earth created in 7 days, 7 deadly sins, etc), so since 7 was God's favorite number, and the rainbow was supposed to have been created by God after the flood, thus Newton named indigo as a 7th color to make the rainbow with God's perfect number. Technically the rainbow could have infinite colors if you're going to start mixing primary colors with secondary colors as is done to make indigo (blue + purple). I've always called that color blue-violet anyway. If you're going to do that, we could have a rainbow that goes: red, persimmon, orange, mango, yellow, chartreuse, green, aqua, blue, indigo, violet, and many more in between each of those.

I watch lectures delivered at universities by scholars, scientists, writers with Q&A afterward, which is always my favorite part.

Ain't retired yet, but still learning new things at 53.

That-said, made it through a hard science major with a tolerable GPA and in geophysics when we proved...not theorized, proved...that time passes at different rates depending on your distance from a gravitational source, my mind was blown. GPS would be way off if they didn't compensate for this, btw, as the GPS satellites have different time than stations on the ground. 'Relative' to one another, time is passing at different rates. Granted, just a teeny bit, but still...

And BTW 'dark matter' is a big scientific mystery, but has a significant impact on the expansion of the universe and observable gravitational phenomena of galaxies. I'm reasonably sure nobody knows what 'dark matter' is and it's beyond our comprehension at-current as three dimensional beings. I'm not a Luddite by any means but some things, I wonder if we want to know...

All can be watched on Youtube as well. Entertainment and mind-blowing discoveries!

That there are two big reasons that cause and exacerbate neuropathy...one is eating processed foods later in the day, close to bedtime....I paid for that one....won't do it again. There are many reasons thou that do cause neuropathy overall.

There is a book that might help you understand called "Eastern Body, Western Mind."

I found out the light does go off when you close the refrigerator door. Unfortunately, I got frostbite when I crawled inside to solve the mystery and the door jammed. Obviously I did escape.

Hope this is helpful to all of you out there that have had many sleepless nights tossing and turning wondering.

But that isn't what I learned recently, although using the Maps to find a restaurant/cafe nearby in a strange city is new too.

What I only found out only AFTER my last trip, after staring at menus that were incomprehensible to me other than a few items, was that I can use Google Translate on my phone & aim at the menu/sign/document/etc & it will show me an english translation on the screen instantly. It probably has done that for years but I just found this out last month.

For some reason I'm still hesitant to use Siri or Alexa at all, but I understand there is a lot of funny things you can ask/do with them, especially Alexa.
If this is true, I just found it out right now and am excited to try it out.
