A sad yet very entertaining read www.vortexhealing.com/I met someone who is a vortex healer. Nice but (IMO) completely deluded young woman. She really believes that she was taught by Merlin (as in the magician) Just thought I'd share

Apparently the scientific testing behind the 'Vortex' is that on old violin, after being subjected to 'the vortex', sounds better now. They also tested a tambourine. Which, apparently, now sounds more 'tambouriney'.....

From their ''ethics'' page..... Fees charged must be ethical and fair; clients must not be exploited for financial gain.So their woo stuff is for free then?

'Vortex Healing' is a prime example of 'lets just make some s*it up and see if we can sell it'.
And they know that, because they made it up.
Yep, they made that s*it up too
It's amazing what you can make up whilst taking heavy medication
Ah... so it's Ric we can blame for 'making s*it up'.

I read through the philosophy bit (interesting experience, wanting to fall asleep at the same time as being extremely angry. Very cosmic).
Isn't the whole "universe splitting itself apart to understand itself" wooshine already part of Hindu and/or Buddist belief? I know I have heard it before.
If their records track accurately from Iron Age Britain to Medieval Britain then I'm going to join, they have better archives than the British Museum. (note, this IS sarcasm)

They talk about using the stone circle network to reset and heal (I'm not going to quote more wooshine).
Now I'm sure I've seen a Victorian picture of our darling ancestors "repairing" Stonehenge with mechanical diggers, but I can't find it. Has anyone else seen it / know where it is as I'd love to post it up to bust the implication that stone circles are "unaltered".
Also they seem to completely ignore the evidence for wooden circles, such as wood and sea henge

Stonehenge has been extensively repaired in the past few centuries. In 1797 at least one stone fell down and on New Year's Eve 1900 an upright stone and lintel collapsed. I'm not sure what's going on in the photo below or indeed when it was taken - 1960s? - but something is obviously being winched into place: i226.Report this post to Admin please.com/albums/dd293/AliceShortcake/stonehenge.jpg[/IMG] The idea that stone circles and single standing stones have always looked just the same as they do now is a particularly silly bit of 1960s Hippy/New Age nonsense - the stones at Avebury were "tidied up" and repaired in the 1930s. Some of the smaller (and therefore easily moved) single stones have been in more parishes than a paedophile priest!

It seems to me that these deluded fools make most of their money running seminars and workshops to teach other deludeded fools. I went thru some of the links on the "angelic Reiki" site and it seems to cost about 300 quid to go thru each level of reiki mastership. A quick google found me all the info for free. I wish I had no morals.
