EXACTLY

update though:
I asked my mom to explain what "Light Touch Accupressure" is the other day and that's when she told me about "energy" and "meridians" bla bla bla... spiritual stuff. I told her how none of that makes sense to me. How the words "energy" and "meridians" have such an ambiguous meaning, that it can mean anything. Anyone can apply their own meaning to it and that's why I don't understand what she meant....

Long story short, she did a LOT of research and so far she found out that the terms "chi" and "meridians" were translated by a french bankteller, who according to my mom, didn't know much about the chinese language or chinese medicine.

She told me that he translated it wrong. Chi and meridians don't mean energy the way she thought and so many spiritualists thought. They were supposed to be about blood vessels and oxygen flow. (which to me, makes a metric shit ton more sense). She then asked me if it would be a good idea to put that article on her website (the one saying how the translation is wrong) so I told her to cross reference the article to make sure everything is 100% correct, so she doesn't look bad if someone calls her out.

I think I might have started some logical thinking in my mom! :biggrin:

Nope. We were fresh out of communist block back in the early 90' so it wasn't airing in Poland and since then I just didn't get to watch it.
