| Meridians Author: Larae | Energy channels that run throughout the body. Traditions such as Qi Gong recognize numerous meridians and tie them to the healthy functioning of various bodily organs. |
| Mundane/Mundane Existence Author: Larae | One`s material existence in the mainstream world. Mundane existence encompasses dealings with regular society, maintaining a job, paying bills, feeding and clothing oneself, and keeping an apartment or house. People who are entirely focused on this material existence to the exclusion of all things spiritual are generally termed *mundanes*. Some individuals in the vampire community use the term *mundane* to denote non-vampiric individuals. However well intended, there are many non-vampiric people who take great offense to this term and visualize it as a pretentious and misleading remark. To call someone mundane is to elude that they are not capable of understanding levels of spirituality. Quite the contrary, a non-vampiric person can be very spiritual on various levels. Spirituality is certainly not privy to vampires only. For this reason, we at Aquilus Dot Net do not feel that it is a term that should be attached to anyone non-vampiric. Simply call them non-vampiric. This will eliminate any feelings of disrespect or insult. |
