I had no idea my question about cupping would garner that much response. I knew that it was not really part of Reiki or consistent with its practice, but my addled brain couldn't come up with alternative medicine. Oops. So thanks, A., and everyone else, for cluing me in. When I was Googling it, using words like heal and fire as search terms, I was mostly getting tips and hints for D&D. So I know how to cast a mean flame arrow or conjure a lesser fire elemental. Watch out!
I needed it for a section in the memoir where I've fallen and hurt my ankle and knee fairly badly. I was in quite a bit of pain. The man who was my assistant at the time, Tony, was from Romania and was completely insane. This cupping practice soon comes into play.
Maybe I should post the section?
