 "Science of Reiki" meetup

This is more related to Atlanta Skeptics than to Atlanta Science
Tavern, but he makes a few interesting claims about physics and
neuroscience, at least.
 
I'll be teaching right across the street in Buckhead until 3pm, maybe
I could drop in a little late.

Science of Reiki

Michael Talbot was born in Grand rapids, Michigan and died of cancer
at the age of 38 ( 1953-1992). Michael Talbot described he was having
unusual experiences starting from age three ,having visions,
Premonitions . He saw the objects moving in the house like chairs
,Tables and spoons with out any interference. He is used to see aura
around people.... Aura around people.??? Some of the spiritual
practitioners may claim they experiences same thing . Some rigid
rational thinkers it is all cuckoo.. But Micahel did some thing
different than other spiritualists before his death. He has written a
book called " Holographic Universe" , explaining rationale behind
"Aura" with science and mathematics . Even seasoned scientists were
stunned to his powerful insights. He shook the world of geniuses like
Stephen Hawkings.Would you like to know what the real science behind
that "aura" ... ??? They call him "Einstein of neuro sciences" . He
says he can heal people by touching or by just looking at them. He is
no crackpot. His name is Dr.Ramachandran, practicing neurologist at
prestigious Scripps Institute in San Diego,Ca. He is strong proponent
of a theory called "mirror neurons" . Our mind has ability to copy
other people thoughts and vice versa in which other people also copy
your thoughts. you can also relieve pain in some one just by looking
at them or by touching them.. Dr.Ramachandran is in the fore front of
mind bending theories in neuro sciences. Please come and explore this
astonishing science behind body and mind of reiki ... This meeting is
intended for Reiki practitioners . Everyone is welcome. This is
journey through science, spirituality and medicine. PS: Add to the
little mystery... Huffinton post names the place you are coming to is
one of the 10 haunted hotels in America... Respecting your elders
takes on new meaning at Atlanta's Beverly Hills Inn, an 81-year-old
Buckhead property now supposedly haunted by the souls of three old
ladies. The 18-room neo-classical inn became a bed and breakfast in
1982, but its first stint was as an apartment building for widowed
women in 1929. It is the alleged apparitions of those former residents
that both the Atlanta Ghost Hunter and Haunt Analyst Georgia Ghost
Hunters have caught on tape. Although the images from both
investigations are specious (white, cloud-like fog; shadowy,
imperceptible blotches; and floating orbs that look like dust
particles make up most of the photographic evidence), the audio, on
the other hand, evokes chills. The Haunt Analyst investigation in 2007
recorded hoarse voices whispering phrases both ominous (“Get out!”)
and encouraging (“Make it happy”). Book a room on the haunted hotel's
third floor, where Haunt Analyst and Atlanta Ghost Hunter collected
most of their proof, for a similarly creepy experience, but be
prepared. Like many old biddies, these ghouls are kind but spirited:
The elderly souls have apparently tucked in respectful guests before
bed, but visitors who bad-mouth the dead have seen drinking glasses
suddenly smash to pieces.

It'd be such a short lecture...

"On the science of Reiki...there isn't any. Thank you all for coming."
