Death, the Ultimate Orgasm

• New Age (Old Silliness)

Look at the things you could waste your money on at the Mind Body Spirit festival in Sydney.

For those besotted by crystal mandalas, oral spray vitamins and inner energy balancing, this was the place to be. Exhibitors at the festival, now in its 15th year in Sydney, know their watchwords - fear, stress, anger, procrastination, insomnia and self-sabotage, all of which they promise to banish with an array of therapies, from detox foot patches to thought field therapy.

Other wonders included "reiki empowerment" ($10 for five minutes), a book titled Death, the Ultimate Orgasm (yours for $34.95) and "ki energy treatment" ($30 for 20 minutes), where the therapist works on energy blockages while making a noise like a hyperventilating bird.

I am an atheist and am very skeptical of anything that cannot be observed or explained or measured in rational scientific terms. However, I have a friend who is big into Reiki and I gotta say, the experience (which I did not pay for) was the closest thing I've ever had to a "spiritual" experience. I don't mean that in a religious way. I don't care to explain the experience the way they explain it to me (energy being transferred through the practitioner and into me.) However, I felt something that I can't readily explain. I wouldn't put it in the same pile of garbage as the rest of that stuff. Oh, and there were no bird noises either ;)

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about Death, the Ultimate Orgasm. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
