ranja -> fire cupping (6/15/2009 4:42:34 AM)

I bought a good glass cup from a carboot sale the otherday...have been interested in this fire-cupping thing for a while now ...the glass is good, used to hold a candle, fits comfortable in my hand has a nice thick rim. So i sat at home with it, cleaned it and thought well...lets try it out then...as i like to do things without any pressure on myself in my own time though i kept Him (more busy with His computer things) informed of my procedings... So i put some baby oil on my leg and started tinking on how to do the fire bit...as i have seen demonstrated (on you-tube) with plyers and cotton balls on fire...alcohol...what a hassle i thought and i went to get the gas lighter for the cooker...one of those with a long stick that produces a flame when you click it... It worked a treat...warmed the glass lovely and sucked the oxigen totally out of it so it sucked itself very tightly to my well oiled upper leg. The sensation of moving it about was perfect the suction held good, i could have left it on my leg for ages, walked about with it even. So why does anybody bother with the hassle of fluid and cottonballs on plyers i wonder...is that just for effect? sort of hokus pokus? I was very much reminded of sucking a drinking glass around my mouth when i was a kid...its just the same thing really...am i too much of a practical house wife? Also if anybody knows, what is the benefit of this besides it being a nice sensation? Does it alleviate muscle pain or reduce celulite or anything?
