COLORS

I have always had a craze for colors. I believe they mark the beauty of our world.

I believe that the Earth is secretive and there lies a hidden truth behind everything.

Colors are also one such hidden truths, holding a meaning beyond each one of them.

Colors are uniquely powerful symbols. In magic, they also contain power that can be of use during ritual.


RED: Maintaining health, strength, physical energy, sex, passion, courage, protection. Widely used in defensive magic. The color of the element of Fire. Red is associated with blood (and thus, life and death), birth, volcanoes, and intense emotions. The Zuni of America linked this color with the South. Throughout Polynesia, red was sacred color associated with both the deities and with the highest social classes.

PINK: Love, friendship, compassion, relaxation. Pink is symbolic of gentle emotions and of emotional unions. It's less intense then red.

YELLOW: Intellect, confidence, divination, communication, eloquence, travel, movement. Yellow is the color of the element of Air. It symbolizes the sun, grain, and the power of thought. To the Zuni, it symbolized the North. In polynesia, yellow was a color of royalty and divinity.

GREEN: Money, prosperity, employment, fertility, healing, growth. Green is the color of the element of the Earth and symbolizes our planet's fertility (it's the color of chlorophyll) as well as life itself.

BLUE: Healing, peace, psychism, patience, happiness. Blue is the color of the element of Water. Symbolic of the ocean, sleep, twilight, and the sky. The Zuni employed this color to represent the west.

PURPLE: Power, healing severe disease, spirituality, meditation, religion. Purple was once a European symbol of royalty; today it symbolizes the divine.

WHITE: Protection, purification, all purposes. Symbolic of the Moon, freshness, snow, cold, and potential. Because white contains all colors, it can be utilized for every magical purpose. White symbolized the East to the Zuni.

BLACK: Banishing negativity, absorbing negativity. Symbolizes outer space and the universe. Black is the absence of colors. In some cultures, black represented fertility (as in quite fruitful black earth); in others, wisdom. In our culture it has been curiously linked with evil, due to religious associations. It is not an evil color.

BROWN: Animals. Used for spells involving animals, usually in combination with other colors. Brown represents soil and, to a lesser degree, fertility of the Earth.

ARE YOU HAPPY?

What will you say when some one asks you “How are you?”

Till this morning I had the habit of saying “Am ok”

But today I understood how blessed I was.

Do not know what marked the beginning of the day so different, But I am damn sure, today it was really a different and special day in my life…

Today morning when I was going to my work place, I perceived everything in a new and of course a good perspective… I cannot say I saw everything but it is good to say I perceived things different, because I understand that change is not from my eyes but from my brain…

Its my brain that thought different……

You wont believe, today everything that I crossed seemed too beautiful in spite of the fact that they are the same things that I watch everyday… the same crow, the same myna, but today everything seemed too beautiful…

But I was not able to perceive this difference in the morning, it took me a few hours to understand that this day is a special day in my life…….

It was all when I was look after my new patient Mrs.Parvathy I felt all the difference…

Being in the health care sector and that too in Mental Health, I have seen lotta number of people with sufferings.

I have seen people who suffer physically, mentally or in both means but Mrs.Parvathy was something more than everyone else… she was too good enough to teach me what life is and what real happiness is?

SOMETHING ABOUT MRS.PARVATHY:

Mrs.Parvathy is a 83 years old woman brought to our hospital from an old age home. She was brought to our hospital from the home since the people in the home have refused to care for her.

She suffers from all the handicaps of old age.

They are large enough to be listed,

Diabetes

Hypertension

Paralysis

Mental illness

Amnesia

Speaking difficulty

Isolation

Loneliness etc, etc.

She suffers from severe ulceration of her stomach and intestines that she is not able to take proper food, she suffers diarrhea whenever she takes food. She is unaware of urination and passing motion. And the worst thing beyond this is that she feels happy at spending her time in a bathroom, she hates being inside any comfortable room.

Even worse is the fact that she doesn’t have a child to care for her in her old age.

It was when I saw her crying all through the day I understood how terrible is old age, and what real suffering is.

MY RESOLUTION:

Reading the above article about Mrs.Parvathy I think you must be able to understand how terrible old age is?

If this is the condition of a woman who is able to spend several thousands of rupees for her specialized care, imagine the condition of a poor who suffers even for food.

MY RESOLUTION:

Today I have taken up a voth within myself that I must give my parents the most happy and blessed old age free from sufferings and pain.

Not only do wanna care for my parents but to any one who is old. Pray God that

Sufferings of old age be reduced and let the world belong to everyone such that people have someone to love and care for at any time in their life.

Thanks to Parvathy paati, she not only made me understand the sufferings of old age, but made me realise how blessed and happy I Am.

Love

In most cases we think: this is true love, when in fact is not. But then if this aint love then what it is? There are plenty of things that we confuse with love.

It could be just the basic instinct. The feelings can be passionate and crazy, but in fact both people may want only sex. And after it all the misunderstanding starts, and once infactuated lovers will find out that they have nothing in common and sometimes they dont even know what to talk with each other.

Another variant is when people lack support, care and attention to their person or they are just scared to stay single. Being with someone can be a habit when one simply got used to the other. It can either be a sick addiction or some self-interest. People call all these types of relationship love just by mistake or trying to conceal the true nature of it.

But than what does real love look and feel like? Maybe its when two people seem or feel like know each other for ages and even in their previous lives. They can go on talking and talking and conversation never lacks topics and never gets dull. Or people don't have to say anything because they understand each other without words. And those moments, minutes and even hours of silence are never uncomfortable. True love is when partners complete one another, when they are together its peaceful, the whole other world with its sufferings and problems doesn't exist and nothing even matters.

True love means understanding. One trusts another more than him/herself and feels ready to satisfy every little need of a partner. Two people don't stop for a second looking into each other eyes.

Its said that two persons truly in love aren't looking at each other but in the one direction. And this is rather reasonable because they dont say nothing this is yours and this is mine and share everything: friends, enemies, interests, problems and etc. One has his/her own identity but sees him/herself only as a part of the other. Still real love is not a relationship of property. If you really love someone you may say I belong you but always be ready to let go if it makes the person you love happy.

Jealousy stands out of the true love. How can one be jealous if there is so much love and faithfulness? Real love doesn't long for power, it doesn't want to hurt, doesn't want to punish for mistakes, its self-sacrificing and ready to forgive other and other again. But its wrong to think that true love is always a suffering, it only means that you take a person as he or she is and don't expect the one you love to be perfect.

True love isnt supposed to blow your mind, yet it doesnt tend to get and to possess its a and very special state of a soul.

But the question that true love is still has no definite answer. Do we truly love only once in our life? At what age are we supposed to meet our love? Does it last for a lifetime or just for a while? Probably everyone has his own answers to this questions. The truth is that no one should spend life chasing ideals or building relationships by some model of a true love. One will probably fail and miss the real thing beyond all this.

We should remember that very many things we need to supply our healthy and comfortable living but only the true feeling of love makes life really longer and happier. And this is scientifically proved.

It has been long since I decided to write blogs but really don't know what kept me away from blogging.

But today, I logged into my gmail account with an idea of writing something.... ha ha... It has been always a good idea to communicate and share what we feel with the rest of the community....

Thanks to deepan and selvam anna for persuading me to write blogs...
