for my accepting yours.  It simply supports the strong possibility

that yours is a fake.  -  H. L. Mencken

Rub it Better - by Joe Sinclair

Few, if any, readers of this journal would fail to agree that massage, in one of its various forms, can be a useful aid to health and wellbeing.  Most would probably go further and applaud the benefits of massage-related complementary practices such as reflexology, zone therapy, acupuncture/pressure, and many others.  But how many readers, I wonder, are aware of the ease and beneficent potential in massaging oneself?

Spirit Release - by Alan Sanderson and Deena O'Brien

Healers and mediums through the ages have worked with spirits and exorcism. Reactions to this subject vary widely but may include disbelief, suspicion, fear, and rejection of the existence of the spirit world. These common reactions make things more difficult for people who hear voices or experience other unusual phenomena, and conceptualise them as originating in something external rather than their own unconscious. 

Elizabeth Winder has contributed an introduction to this article by Deena O'Brien and Alan Sanderson with their descriptions and views of spirit voices.
