The findings reveal that <em>Qi</em> is a vital component that associate senses (vision, touch and smell), destination elements (air, climate, landscape, people), body organs, and emotions to constitute sensory therapeutic assemblages to heal and restore snowbird tourists.

We show how magnets work to generate and protect memories, triggering a diversity of (usually positive) emotional and affective responses. They can also be associated with ambivalent memories; with their role sometimes being more about forgetting.
