Another was to watch less television, and now I don’t even watch it anymore, I spend more time reading than I do watching television. I am slowly making progress to better myself and completing my goals, hopefully I will complete all of them.

Pyramid Healing

Define Pyramid Healing: Pyramid healing is an alternative to conventional healing, instead of using drugs and medicines to get better, pyramid healing uses pyramids, herbs, meditation, and stones to have the body heal itself. Aspects of Pyramid Healing: The patient sits in the middle of a pyramid, while someone chants mantras and carries stones over the patient’s skin.
I think pyramid healing is essentially mediation, and the pyramid seems unnecessary. Some of the claims the pushers of the practice make seem ridiculous, saying,"used razors, knives get sharpened ; acts as a room freshener, foul smells disappear." Personally, i don's believe the claims but, to each his own.

In order to be great you have to try your hardest and go through many trials and tribulations to reach your goal, if you choose to take the easy route, you wont achieve greatness, but just an accomplishment of mediocrity which isn't as great or special.
