I have the power!!.....Apparently

Working full time at a MBS (Mind, Body, Spirit) and self-help publishers, I am frequently encouraged to attend events which are held so I get a feel of what our company does. Fine by me. I encounter a few strange people, but then I LARP, so I take everything I hear with a pinch of salt.
Now...when I was very young, if my father ever suffered from musclar pains in the back and such, he'd tell me to put my hands over him, just for a few minutes. 2 minutes later his pain would be subdued and he'd feel that little bit better. I've always been told by him, I've got magic hands, something I used to love as a child as of course all children want to be made feel special.
As I said above, I LARP. Larping involves a lot of fighting in 'battlegrounds' or the odd monster that fancies giving us a little visit.
I can't fight for hell. I freak out when trying to hit other people (I physically can't) and I can't keep count of the hit points. So I opted for the easy solution to still enjoy Larping whilst everyone else fought.
I'd be a healer...I'd use my hands and cure people's ailments. Fine

Now yesterday, I was attending the MBS Festival in Victoria. I'd reach the site just before 11 and was going to be staying there until 7 so along the day, I was starting to become a little zonked. Nothing major happens; it basically involved sitting around, serving customers and going for the occasional walk so as not to fall into a pit of brain numbing. I was sitting by the til, looking a little fazed out when I feel a hand on my thigh (I was sitting on a high stool) and I turned to see this woman staring intently at me (thinking about it now, there was a very slight look of crazed in her eyes, but then that's probably just me being weird)...she looks me in the eyes and said 'have you considered Zeite' (I think that's what is was).
I had no idea what she was talking about. I thought it was some sort of Yoga as I may have been sitting badly, or some sort of de-stressing technique as I may have looked a little worn out.
I looked around at my colleague feeling completely bemused and asked the woman what it was. she said 'look it up, you'll see...you have the power. I could feel it coming through that wall and that's why I came round.'
(all I could think here was, you came to see the stall, saw me and thought 'sucker')
I felt completely lost and sat just looking around me as though I'd just woken up, knowing that everyone around me was 1) watching my reaction 2) smiling as I looked so confused and general 'eh??'
after she left, I looked at Jo, the woman I was working with and whispered 'what just happened?', she just shrugging in reply.
Then another lady, slightly smaller with a less manic look, came up to me grinning at my confusion and gave me a leaflet regarding the subject.

Apparently, it's some kind of form of healing, using the hands, over specific parts of the body and channeling that person's energy to heal them for the better.
I would be lying if I said I hadn't actually considered it, but then I looked at the price of the courses and figured spending £120 on the 1st degree course then spending a further £250 on another course so you can dedicate your life to it, although I like the thought of healing people, I figured, it'd be best to continue following the channel of life I'm taking now as it's....somewhat cheaper...and I don't really have to pay that much for it in one sitting.

Nice to think though that I picked a character who is purely a healer character in LARP and it's been suggested 'I can heal' in real life.
Shouldn't be too hard...as Terry Pratchett's books on witchery say 'it's all Headology'
