Do You Have Faith?

I spent the holy week at my parents' farm up north. Last year, we spent Good Friday in a resort. This year, we decided to stay away from the beaches and pools and instead went to a faith healer.

I am a free spirit. I read horoscopes. I indulge in tarot readings. Once, I even traveled 4 hours just to have a card reading. Geez. Am a junkie.

Well, this year, we had a different experience. My mother, her sister and my older brother had a healing session with a balikbayan healer. There's no special ritual so there's no need to think twice. As we entered a brightly lit room full of religious stuffs, I felt calm.

The healer is an 80-year-old woman. Amazingly, she can still kneel for a considerable amount of time and is in pretty good shape. You can even mistake her for a 60-year-old. It's obvious that she has aged gracefully.

She then massaged us with oil starting from the head down to the neck, the arms all the way to the feet. She told us that helping people through healing is her way of bringing something back for the good things that she has been blessed with in her life.
