Do Death, Loss and Pain Give Your Life meaning?
I recently met someone who said to me "Oh, that's right, you're the hypnosis guy... I've done Reiki level two and believe in all that psychic stuff..." I did my best not to glaze over and not give a facial expression that said "???" and we had a polite conversation......
