Reiki quer dizer Energia Vital Universal. Trata-se de um processo natural de cura de origem tibetana baseado na física quântica, visando ao equilíbrio energético por meio da imposição das mãos. Quando aplicado, vitaliza o sistema orgânico e nos faz entrar em estado de profundo relaxamento. Tal energia irradia sensações de bem-estar, nos elevando a um estado de harmonia.

Of the 758 species of hard ticks (family Ixodidae) currently known to science, 137 (18%) are found in the Neotropical Zoogeographic Region, an area that extends from the eastern and western flanks of the Mexican Plateau southward to southern Argentina and Chile and that also includes the Greater and Lesser Antilles and the Galápagos Islands. This vast and biotically rich region has long attracted natural scientists, with the result that the literature on Neotropical ticks, which are second only to mosquitoes as vectors of human disease and are of paramount veterinary importance, is enormous, diffuse, and often inaccessible to non-specialists. In this book, three leading authorities on the I...
