Anti Wrinkle Pillow
He's A Magic Man
Author: Stacy Porteus
There's no way around it: Getting old is not for the faint of heart. Of course, it helps to be mindful and to remember your morning flax seed, but after the big 4-0, sometimes the body just doesn't choose to cooperate.
For the last three weeks, I have been a dutiful wife listening to the gripes and groans from the hubby who has been dealing with a very painful pinched nerve in his neck. Was it the impromptu beach volleyball game? The morning stand up paddle surf session? The wrong pillow, perhaps?
So, week one he tries the massages; week two the chiropractor and week three some x-rays were taken. Along the way, several of our friends insisted that David see a Balinese healer. "You know, an old blind one that can cure anything," whispered our neighbor.
The most famous Balinese healer is Ketut Liyer of Elizabeth Gilbert's "Eat, Pray, Love" fame and he is still alive and well in Ubud enjoying much success as a sought after medicine man. We were open to suggestions from our friends as to whom we should contact for help, but mysteriously, no one could provide us with a name or number. I finally came to the conclusion that we couldn't seek the healer; he would have to find us.
Now the Bali motto "expect the unexpected" comes into play. Last Wednesday, we visit the home of Diamond Head Road model, Melati Erhart, to talk shop. She says her hip has been bothering her for the last couple of years and that her healer is coming over shortly to perform an exorcism of sorts. My ears perk up. An exorcism on my husband sounds exactly like what he needs!
Abdul arrives and takes David into the guest bale (bah-lay) to diagnose the problem, pinpointing the exact excruciating spot that has been causing all of the sleepless nights. Melati translates while he pokes and prods and then gets down to work. I excuse myself to eat some lunch and hear the yelps and screams coming from the guest house as Abdul physically lifts the tendons up from below David's left shoulder blade.
David emerges to say he has just endured the most painful massage of his life. Abdul follows close behind with an ancient Balinese herbal remedy called jamu which is a potent brown mixture chock full of ginger and local honey from his village. Abdul winks at us as Melati translates that the traditional cure-all drink will not only help heal David's neck but will also give his virility a big boost.
Not exactly the kind of exorcism I had in mind, but it's all about the baby steps, right?

Novo livro de Elizabeth Gilbert fala sobre o casamento| Globo News via
What's next?, Beach Volleyball under the snowflakes. My better half believes your in Oklahoma, kid but in all reality he just finds it disbelieving that it snowing in Allen Texas….Allentown Pa, he can see but not in Allen. Here in Vancouver we see snow like the snowfall your experiencing about 5X a winter & sometimes we get too much & it makes for a real mess when the rain returns. Volleyball Beach in the snow isn't a reality unless some punk like you is….
1. I think it is a fair assessment. Happiness and being entertained, as promoted by the book are two different things. Happiness is a state of being, contentment. Because we don’t have happiness we are in an perpetual search for it, usually through entertainment in various forms. Kinda like the predictable ploy used by dictators or leaders where they provide the people with some form of entertainment to take their minds off their poverty or poor living conditions. Since entertainment alone doesn’t bring happiness we are in a ever search for it.
2. I would think this is a sign of self-reliance or strength. In many cases we find where people who are said to “talk” to themselves are considered crazy. However, the internal discussion (in any form) is healthy in knowing who you are, and what you want for your life. It is a habit that more people should take as it would help in making better life decisions. However, Gilbert points out in the book that we generally hate silence (alone time) and its results of us having to be faced with all the previous transactions in our lives. In other words, we have unresolved issues because we refuse to “remember” them, analyze them, and then forgive ourselves (or congratulate ourselves) to bring the issue to a close. In regards to queston #1, happiness can only be obtained once you accept yourself…so this process is vital!
3. In her travels, there didn’t seem to be a difference in terms of patriarchal rule. The macho Italian eating cream puff demonstrated acceptable or unacceptable endeavors for the gender to be involved from one culture to the next. As an American we could see the irony she pointed out, but to the Italian it is what men do. An interesting question might be based on gender is, what did the reader think regarding Liss dropping her vow of celibacy to Philipe. As a male, I looked at it initially as she giving in, and was hoping she held out. I began to wonder as I continued reading if my wife would have celebrated Liss and joined her in saying it was time. My thought process was that women see sex (in most cases) as a part of romance, where as men (in most cases) look at sex as a notch in the belt. Or could it be the left brain/right brain stereotype where as a male I wanted Liss to finish the task, you said you were going to hold out, so do it. The Balinese healer’s approach gave a powerful look at life for women in some cultures. From a male standpoint, the revelation of the healer’s “therapy” would at least make you think about how women are viewed in general, and more specifically what would I want to happen if I was in that situation. However, I think the reader could easily allow themselves to miss the bigger point by saying that that is the Balinese culture, however, women’s restricted freedom is well chronicled in most of the world’s Holy Books, and eventually in every societal norms in dealing with gender.
4. I would think “travelers” are free spirits in general, thus prone to agreeing to new experiences. The occasional traveler would probably try new things, but well within the confines of their belief system and cultural norms.
