Feng Shui: healing with color

Different colors vibrate at different frequencies. Energy healing is not a novel idea. The art of Feng Shui provides us with the ability to apply color in our life in order to achieve a healthier flow of chi and reach a body and mind balance. Our chi can be influenced by our surroundings and by the colors we consciously chose to surround ourselves with or clothe our body. Color had been used to even describe our mental states such as red with rage, feeling blue or peachy and being green with envy. The colors covered here are primarily intended to provide you with ideas about color coordination in your wardrobe and to strengthen your chi level.

You can chose different colors to influence your chi. To subdue your rage or calm your anger you may want to apply the colors black or green, to alleviate depressed mood resort to light green and purple. When you are having a headache resort to green or pink, for stomach pains use yellow or red, for hypertension white, black, baby blue or light green. To address obesity resort to the application of the color white.

If you feel trapped by the external circumstances in your life, use green. Green is symbolic with growth, expansion and upward movement. To enhance your communication skills use blue since this color has the property to evoke calmness and peace. Indigo strengthens your intuition, allows you to gain objectivity into your problems and relieves emotional and mental turmoil by allowing you to gain new insights. The lighter shades of pink induces relaxation, calmness while the darker hues of this color enhance optimism and confidence in oneself. Yellow helps strengthen ones attention/alertness and improves memory. The color yellow can assist you decision making. Orange leads to mental clarity practical problem solving. The color orange balances your chi after a period of stress or a shock and allows you to let go of the past. Red increases your chi, boosts self esteem, leads to vibrancy and feeling more energized. It is considered a lucky and auspicious color. This color banishes insecurities and the lack of enthusiasm. Those with high blood pressure should avoid this color and instead resort to using black, white or lighter shades of blue and green.
The color white symbolizes purity, clarity and openness and to address eating disorders. You may use this color when you feel the need to let go of mental and emotional clutter from your psyche. This color signifies new beginnings and un bias attitude. The color black is grounding/stillness and protectiveness.

There are no good or bad colors; just inappropriate application of color in certain situations. The information above is not intended to diagnose, treat or cure any physical or mental illnesses. consult with a physician and a Feng Shui practitioner in your area for more information.

Spiritual rebirth

Numerous accounts of spiritual re-birth are found in the Gospels and the Epistle to the Corinthians. A main Christian message is that one must die in order to be born again as Jesus says to Nicodemus in the Gospel of John, 3-3: “I am telling you the truth: no one can see the kingdom of God without being born again”, and, (6) “A person is born physically of human parents, but is born spiritually of the Spirit.” This death is not of physical but rather of spiritual and psychological nature. It is symbolic of the death of the ‘ego-self’. A transformation occurs when a person gains profound insight or has an “Aha!” experience that leads to a shift of consciousness. The Spirit is not an external element, but it is rather the God essence within each person. This is the meaning of Jesus’ statement in the Gospel of John, 10-34 “It is written in your own Law that God said: You are gods.” The same idea is beautifully expressed in the words of the Bulgarian Master Beinsa Douno: “Look for the origin of all things so that you may find the true God within your soul.”
The ultimate goal of salvation is to obtain salvation from the lower ignorant ‘ego-self’ and its destructive habits. When a person acknowledges that God is inside of him or her and that this God essence permeates everything, the individual gains understanding and acceptance of the message, “You are gods.” The scriptures do not discriminate by saying that some of us are gods, but asserts that all of creation is holy. In Colossians 3-11 we read: “Christ is all, Christ is in all.” This Christ or Cosmic consciousness is accessible to everyone.

The art of patience

Within every relationship there are ups and downs. What makes
a relationship endure is not the absence of conflicts but the ability to
avoid power struggles and resolve disagreements. You may have read different self-help books, talked to your partner of even consulted a counselor. All of this will be of no advantage to you unless you make a commitment to keep working on improving your communication with you partner on a consistent basis. As they say practice makes perfect. Relationships grow through change.
Any relationship goes through changes the same way you change as an individual. You cannot expect your partner or your relationship to stay the same. That would be not only unrealistic but also unhealthy. Imagine your partner staying stuck in his or her old way no matter what you do or say. I cannot stress enough to couples how important it is to be consistent in doing good work in your relationship that brings the two of you closer. Perhaps the therapy sessions you may have gone to have helped some and now the two of you are communicating better and getting along. Remember to use all of the tools you have learned. Practice, practice, practice. Do not rely on your partner to do all of the work in the relationship. He or she may do it at first for a period of time and just as you think that everything is going well, you enter the same pattern of conflict, miscommunication and lack of intimacy. In order for your relationship to stay healthy you need consistency throughout your partnership. Consistency is expressed in many ways from taking time to say “I love you” to being mindful of not engaging in power struggles and being honest. Sometimes partners become too comfortable with each other and begin to slack off.

The By Stander Effect..

The by stander effect occurs when a group of people observe or are aware of a crime occurring and do not do any ting about it. Most recently in Dekalb county GA a cop was wrestling with a criminal and the criminal was overpowering him. As the cop lost use of his police radio people had gathered around watching the scene. Finally a women had pulled over in her car, gotten her tazor out and tazed the perp.

People are selfish and self preserving. I am not even amazed any more when they show on TV how so and so has helped another person. That is the sensationalism in our spiritual and moral evolutionary path. Wow!!! That is common civility, goodness and caring. Yet, there is more of the dark side dominating the world and our little earth at this time.

People need cleansing. They need to become the best moral and spiritually evolved creatures. Even some animal spices are more caring towards their fellow beings than we are.

Humanity will continue to suffer at its own hand. Each being will continue to be in darkness until it pulls itself up.

No Secrets or Mysteries!!!

The word "secret" is a money maker! How? you may ask
Have you seen all of the book, DVD, and article titles and other products with that word in it?
I see it all of the time and it bothers me.
Why?
Because there are no secrets out there. No secrets to getting rich, slim, younger, etc. Whatever knowledge is out there, is not a secret. If a person had not yet stumbled upon some of the information in the universe, then that person is yet to do so. "There is nothing new under the sun." Yet people choose to market "secrets" while others chase "secrets".
The second runner up word is "Mystery"

Facing Changes

How can we find peace in a tough economy? Jobs end, relationships dissolve, money come and go and homes change. It is healthy and at time necessary to remember that change is growth. Growth is an ever present and ever changing phenomenon that can occur only with changes. Spiritual growth means acknowledging the flexibility within and accepting the impermanence of things. Change is the perpetual force in life. It is an energy that is constantly in motion. We need to view life as a continuous string of events without a beginning or end. Perceiving life in as constantly changing shows us that we attribute qualities and time frames such as past, present and future to our existence. The economy is only one of the things that goes under methamorposis like anything else in life. Being mindful and thankful for the things that we have despite external struggles is something that can make us stronger, peaceful and spiritually abundant. Do you remember to be thankful for your family, your health, your ability to work and willingness to seek employment? Do you remember to smile at the small things in life like a hug, a hot cup of cocoa, a soft pillow and a warm meal?

Attaining spiritual peace is a process of continuous growth within change.
Only change is consistent in life. Existence in itself is something we struggle to explain or comprehend. Each individual therefore experiences spiritual growth or inner development subjectively. It should not be surprising that different people report similar experiences during an enlightening experience. Everything in nature is connected and one person can tap into the same information as another one. However, how each person experiences this situation and then tries to explain it to others occurs on a totally personal and subjective level.

Change is an inevitable part of our existence. Everything is in a constant flux of change. No matter how much we try to change things, change usually occurs at its own time. With this in mind, how does one keep oneself peaceful, healthy and complete? Sometimes changes brings favorable outcomes and at others, destruction and despair. When we are happy and undisturbed mentally, we rarely seek other's help or question our part in this changing life. It is not an easy task for a person to go through the notions of life without ever being affected by pain. This is especially evident during the down times when we sink into depression, hopelessness, anxiety, or discontent.

3How can we keep a mentally healthy and spiritually abundant lifestyle when we are like a leaf carried by the wind or like a tiny boat in the ocean blown away in the ocean? Our mental states are dictated by changes of which we are not always fully aware. As!long as we attribute our struggles, depression, unhappiness and hopelessness to something out of our control, we will suffer. Change is not our enemy in life. Change represents life itself. If we go against our own nature, how are we to ever achieve balance and freedom? Or unhappiness comes from the fact that we go through life halfway conscious. We move from one situation into another carrying different moods and expectations. We realize that desire brings impatience, anger brings hatred and that until we break off from this pattern, we will continue to be caught up in vicious a cycle. Once we realize that we alone can trap our self in a well filled with pain, we can make a conscious decision to escape from it by using what is inside of us. Often times we're caught up in life having to meet deadlines, provide for our family and keep a socially acceptable persona while we miss the opportunity to face our most inner needs. In an age when everything is fast paced, we become accustomed to the flow of external events which in return molds our personality to fit different situations. As time goes by, we lose objectivity and become marionettes of the necessity to please and perform in order to meet societal demands. There will be no outer change in our life without an inner transformation. A person needs to mindfully transition from one state into another weather that is on a mental, emotional or a spiritual level. Many of us are not attentive to our inner state of being and its true spiritual desires. We may acknowledge that we get sad, angry, happy, and aroused but rarely do we acknowledge that even though things around us and even our thoughts and feelings are transitional. Once we realize this, we can have a greater control of our spiritual self and find inner peace. It is our ego that goes through life's changes. This easily afflicted self is our personal character filled with fear, doubt, depression and anxiety which endures a never-ending struggle. In spite of all of the difficulties life presents us with there is possibility for a healthier and peaceful life style and equilibrium that can be reached in the present moment.

Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov on Silence

"How wrong we are to think that silence denotes emptiness, nothingness, the absence of all activity or creation. In reality, there is more than one kind of silence: the silence of death and the silence of a higher degree of life. It is this silence, that of the higher degree of life, that concerns us here and that we must try to understand. This is not the silence of inertia; on the contrary, it is the stillness that surrounds a work of great intensity that is taking place in a climate of perfect harmony. Nor is it emptiness or absence; on the contrary, it is fullness, a fullness comparable to that experienced by two human beings who love each other very deeply and share something that cannot be expressed in words or gestures. Silence is a quality of the inner life."
