Can’t help noticing how many combinations of things people come up with in stuff surrounding the growth/new age industry it seems just anything is possible. My girlfreind works for a place where someone can have a massage then a counselling session. I have however heard of all kinds of combinations of alternative therapies, taking anything from crystal healing to acupuncture and reiki to tai chi producing what is assumed to be a compact effect.
A few years ago there was an advert on tv for a video which included yoga+boxing. There is a shop in town with an advert for yoga+angelic contact?? Does this mean we could have boxing+angelic contact??

Dark Matter
This is a favourite sculpture. It is by sculptor Cornelia Parker and is called Dark Matter. I like it in the way a child is just wide eyed about outer space. I don't have to think or analyse it much, it just gives a feeling of wow! dark matter!. Amazing what one can do with getting hold of a shed, calling in the army to blow it up then hanging up the pieces and putting a light bulb in the middle.

Turkish Swimming Cat
On GMTV today they mentioned a cat called a Turkish Swimming Cat. Apparently it is a breed of cat that likes water and can swim. It also has water resistant fur. The woman guest (who I believe was Andrew Lloyd Webber's daughter) said they also have webbed feet. Not sure of the last bit but didn't know such cats exist. Just shows it takes all sorts to make a world.
Trusting or Suspicious
Years ago I undertook some psychotherapy. During this a therapist said that they thought I was suspicious of people. There was the view sometimes held by some therapists in the organisation that provided the therapy that sometimes others can see us more clearly than we can ourselves. Also that we need insight into ourselves in order to progress. To this I thought to myself well I had better believe the therapist then. Of course they are the experts. After all I want to grow and become better in myself etc. So I went around believing them. I trusted their view that I was none trusting. After I finished with the therapist I had some less frequent follow up therapy from another therapist. I told this therapist the same things about myself. This other therapist told me that they thought I was too trusting of people. This caused me to think. Obviously I am being told completely different things. I wanted to check this out so I decided to ask my Friends what they thought. Starting with my girlfriend she told me that she thought I was too trusting of people. Some other Friends said that I was more on the trusting side.
Oh well what does this mean "so much for therapists" well maybe I wouldn't go that far but but it shows how even experts can see things differently even within their own field. Perhaps I should have listened more to myself rather than trust a therapists version of who I was. But hey wouldn't it just put them all out of work if we all did that.
