The Art of Avoition

I am aware of what you may think is a spelling error. It is in fact , plagiarism of a Simpsons character's neologism : news presenter Kent Brockman coined the term in season 8 if I'm not mistaken.

Im just going to fall right into this post...no gimmicky intros here.

Just picked up the latest Cosmo, with its usual dose of holistic cock-and-bull stories. This time it was something about Tantra or something. After I read the article , I thought, well....all they're saying here is don't just jump in there and go right for the bajingo, take time to connect with your partner in a meaningful way. Anyone except a 16-year old hornball can tell you that it's common sense. (Cos , as we all know, a teenage boy would just want to see "the nice boobies on page 9")

So this poses the question : Are all of these holistic things just people trying to grab at straw to keep them from drowning in routine? Perhaps.
Personally I think that if someone told me that they'd want to unblock my Chakras I'd ask them whether it would involve any probing. Although, I think yoga is cool because it's exercise with a mind-twist. And any good psychologist would tell you that mind and body work together quite closely. (That's not me though...Im just a nobody with a blog)

So what do you think? Do people really have magnetic fields around them that, if its unbalanced , it makes them sick?
