But Shiatsu doesn’t stop at stress and relaxation it can also help with PMS symptoms, chemotherapy side effects, Rheumatoid arthritis, stimulate circulation, migraines and skin problems. The massage also serves to stimulate the secretion of the sebaceous glands and keeps skin moist and smooth. This helps give skin resilience and prevents wrinkling.

What Molly Says ....
#17
Bark, bark my dear friends!
My urge to bark to you is overwhelming, and I must share with you how I feel.
The first wonderful thing that happened was that we had our first bath in Pretoria. Oh, how refreshing it was to play and splash the water all over my mommy. My siblings and I are all clean and groomed. We look adorable, especially me, because I think that I am the cutest.
The second joyous occasion was when Mommy announced that ....

For the love of Greek Mythology
Primordial Deities are the gods that spawned from chaos into order. Chaos is considered the void, the nothingness, the emptiness.
The deities from chaos, were the raw basic materials needed to awaken actuality by using change. Change is the key component required for creation to breath and for time to move.
So, a single thought can ripple from nothing into something, and from that existence is born.
Ananke was responsible for that ignition to form within the void. She is the primordial goddess of necessity, compulsion, and inevitability. She is primal and self-formed. .......

Can a Tarot Reading Change Your Future?
Often when we think about our past, we wish we did something in a different way, which would have had better results. Or we think if we made another choice, things would have been better now. Although we can’t go back in time and change the past, the Tarot can help us to change our future.
How is this possible?

The Origin of Amethyst
by Anthony Kenney
The origin of the Amethyst is narrated in the following legend: the god of wine, Dionysus, (according to the ancient Greeks) or Bacchus (according to the ancient Romans), was, so to speak, the “bad boy” of mythology. Although his divine mission was to end worries, Dionisio lived creating problems continuously, especially after drinking a certain amount of grape juice.
The myth tells that on one occasion Dionysius, who, as usual, was drunk, having been ignored by a human being, decided to take revenge on the first person who crossed his path. At that moment Amethyst appeared, a beautiful innocent girl, a faithful disciple of Artemis. Dionisio released two of her hungry tigers to finish with her and poured a glass of wine to enjoy the show. At the cries of Amethyst the omnipresent Artemis came and transformed Amethyst’s body into a statue of Quartz, pure as its virtue. The spell saved the girl from danger and saved her a painful death, but it was an irreversible spell. Dionisio, after recovering from the excesses of wine, seized by remorse, wept tears in his wine glass, which accidentally spilled over the statue, creating in this way the gem we now call Amethyst.

Leonardo Da Vinci (1452-1519) wrote that Amethyst was able to eliminate bad thoughts and to sharpen intelligence. Pliny the Elder (23-79 AD) historical author of the “Historia Naturalis” (the first encyclopaedia of the world) said that whoever engraved the name of the moon or the sun and suspended it on the neck of a baboon, would get a perfect amulet against witchcraft and an infallible talisman for those who came to place orders with kings. Long before the Roman emperors adopted the bright purple in the so-called “Toga Picta”, the Egyptian pharaohs, kings and queens adopted the purple as a powerful symbol of their sovereignty. From the seal of Cleopatra to the Amethyst necklace of Queen Charlotte, the Amethyst is and will always be linked to power. It is not surprising then that this gem was so loved in the middle Ages by the Catholic clergy. It was considered to represent celibacy and quickly became “Papal Stone”.

The Obstacle in Our Path
In ancient times, a king had his men place a boulder on a roadway. He then hid in the bushes, and watched to see if anyone would move the boulder out of the way. Some of the king’s wealthiest merchants and courtiers passed by and simply walked around it.
Many people blamed the King for not keeping the roads clear, but none of them did anything about getting the stone removed.
One day, a peasant came along carrying vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to push the stone out of the way. After much pushing and straining, he finally managed.
After the peasant went back to pick up his vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and note from the King explain that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the road.
Moral of the story: Every obstacle that we come across gives us an opportunity to improve our circumstances, and while the lazy complain, others are creating opportunities through their kind hearts, generosity, and willingness to get things done.
