What Is Love

Posted on December 30, 2017 by blogger

One of the most googled questions ever is “What is love?” So, in view of its popularity alone I felt compelled to look into this. I hope that those reading my response will get some insights. An insight is something you get which allows you to achieve something that could not have been achieved had it not been for that insight.

So, here’s my answer to that very pertinent question ‘what is love?’ Here are the insights: What I have gained from learning about love. .

Love is…

1 Having a deep and genuine love for yourself. How do you expect the cycle of love to come back on you when you haven’t began with a real deep and genuine love, compassion and acceptance for yourself?

2 An innate love or natural urge towards partnership; caring for one’s spouse, family and children…

3 An innate love towards groups; being in teams and teamwork.

4 An innate love of the human race. A natural want to care for cultures, communities, preserve populations… etc.

5 An innate love and natural instinctive urge to want to care for the life on this planet.

6 An innate love for Mother Earth; the environment…

7 Having an innate love for all things spiritual.

8 An innate love for God, Goddess, All-There-Is. (I have written it in this form to avoid a narrow interpretation). Notice if you turn 8 at right angles it becomes: which is infinity!

Love means accepting a loved one for the way they are or the way they are not. -For me, this is the single most effective insight I have ever gained and learned about love.

For further insight it is also very effective to know what love is not

Love is NOT:

Thinking the person you love is like the car you have, or the clothes you’re wearing. That is, love is not possession.

Love is not belongingness, feelings, emotions, chemistry or domination… All these things can only be the effects of love. Tie these things in with the false understanding they are love then this could lead to confusion or victimhood drama. Learn to discern what love actually is when these things show up in your life.

So, above all, I would say, do realize that love is something that we do not understand.

I indeed hope that this all to brief little tour through love has allowed you the reader to get some useful insights.

The Buddhist Mother Goddess Kuan Yin

Posted on December 27, 2017 by blogger

A beloved goddess who often graces the altars of Chinese temples, Kuan Yin (also: Quan Yin, Kwan Yin, Guan Yin) is regarded as the goddess of mercy . Buddhist mythology suggests she was a bodhisattva (enlightened being) who renounced her right to enter through the Gates of Paradise, when the cries of anguish from those suffering on Earth prompted her to return . Rather than accepting her gift of never-ending happiness, she instead became the compassionate protector of man. Kuan Yin was initially depicted as a man, an Indian bodhisattva very similar to Avalokiteshvara whose story is identical.

The image of Quan Yin as a woman started around the 12th century . Many scholars believe this is the influence of the Lotus Sutra which suggested that Avalokiteshvara was a shape shifter who could take on any guise required to end suffering and anguish. He also possessed the power to grant children to couples. This very likely caused artists of the time to depict the bodhisattva as a “mother goddess.” Her role as patron of women and bringer of comfort to the sick and suffering, further solidified the female imagery . Chinese Buddhists fully embraced this concept of the female Kuan Yin, though some cultures believe Kuan Yin to be both a man and a woman, or simply a spiritual being.

Kwan Yin is known by many different names . From the great mercy, great pity to salvation from anguish to thousand arms and thousand eyes they names to describe her deep compassion are endless. She is also known as one of the Three Great Beings influence the realm of nature and beast. Kuan Yin statues and sculptures in China portray the mother goddess as the pinnacle of beauty in white flowing robes. She is usually seen with a white hood over her head and carrying a vase of “holy dew.” Other popular portrayals include statues of Kuan Yin holding a child, Kuan Yin standing on dragon or Quan Yin clutching a rosary.

Over time her popularity has increased and she has come to be seen as a protector of sailors, farmers and travelers. Especially popular in South China, she is worshipped at temples with the belief that she has the power to grant a family a son or beautiful daughter . She is viewed as a standard of beauty in the Chinese culture and those wishing to pay compliment to the parents of a young girl might refer to her as a “Kuan Yin.”

Like Buddhists, Taoists also incorporated Kuan Yin into their religion. Additionally, some modern new age movements have included Kuan Yin in their teachings. As compassionate, female religious icons, Kuan Yin and the Virgin Mary have many similarities. During a time in Japanese history when Christianity was for bid in, Japanese Christians used Quan Yin as a stand-in for the Virgin Mary. She continues to be a popular figure around the world as a symbol of compassion and caring.

The Basics of Reflexology Treatments

Posted on December 20, 2017 by blogger

Reflexology is considered an alternative medicine that is used to help relieve pain and increase relaxation. It is offered atHappy Hour Foot Spa and other spas, as well as in chiropractic offices. It is not a message, which manipulates soft tissues in the body. Instead, reflexology uses stimulation points found in the feet to affect other parts of the body. In this regard, it is more similar to acupuncture or acupressure, which also uses stimulation points in other areas of the body. Reflexology Maps >

Reflexology practitioners use maps of the feet to show reflex points. It is believed that certain areas of the foot are linked to organs and systems in the body. The practitioners use these maps to apply pressure to certain areas in the feet in order to relieve pain and tension elsewhere in the body. Not all practitioners use the same maps, but in general, the left foot would correspond to organs in the left side of the body. The right foot would correspond to organs in the right side. Other areas of the body may correspond to the tips of the toes, and the arch, ball, and heel of the foot. Uses of Reflexology

The uses of reflexology vary widely, depending on the patient and the practitioner. An almost universal use, especially at spas such as Happy Hour Foot Spa,is to relieve stress, increase circulation, and improve relaxation. This is helpful in reducing anxiety and depression, and increasing the quality of sleep. Some practitioners may use reflexology to treat more serious conditions such as cancer, diabetes, and asthma. While it may not actually treat cancer, it has been used to help alleviate symptoms for those undergoing cancer treatments, and for those who have recently had surgery. Reflexology is a painless, relaxing procedure that can have immediate, noticeable, and lasting health effects. Do you need a massage in Indianapolis?

Feng Shui – A Panacea Against the Stress of Modern Living

Posted on December 15, 2017 by blogger

This is one question that is begging for an answer amongst the enthusiast of this ancient Chinese Art of Geomancy. Feng Shui is a living skill practiced by the Chinese over the ages, as far back as 3000 years ago. It is observed that the living environment is abound with life giving energy known as Qi which is dispersed by the wind and gathers at the boundary of water.

How can Feng Shui help us live a stress free life? In today’s borderless world of instant communication, our mobile phone is our constant companion, day in and day out – so is STRESS! We strive to manage our time and our attitudes during the working hours and hope to end the day productively. The whole process repeats itself the next day and the next day and the next day-

Is there an energy we can tap into for daily rejuvenation? How wonderful if we can start each day fully charged and energized, both physically and mentally, in facing the tasks ahead? What is it that helps some people to look, feel and stay motivated all day long?

The secrets lie in energizing your living space by orientating your sitting and sleeping positions, both at home and at work, based on Feng Shui’s compass directions. If apply correctly, Feng Shui can gives you vitality, mental clarity and tranquility in your daily life.

In one of the many studies and applications of Feng Shui, all of us have our auspicious and inauspicious compass directions based on a formula which takes into consideration our date of birth and gender. The formula computes a number that determines each person -Personal Kua- and is derived from the numerical 1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9. The number 5 is not considered as a Kua number. The Kua number will determine our auspicious and inauspicious compass directions. Each of us has four auspicious and four inauspicious directions. This system of Feng Shui is known as -Eight Mansions- which is a study of energy distribution within a house that is demarcated into 8 sectors.

To know how the computation of the Kua number is derived, please visit http://www.proactive-qi.com/PersonalKua.html

Based on the Eight Mansion, if you have a Kua number 3 for example, your auspicious directions are South, North, Southeast and East. Correspondingly, South is known as -Sheng Qi-, North is -Tian Yi-, Southeast is -Yan Nian- and East is -Fu Wei-. What it means is, South is for Wealth & Prosperity, North for Health & Mentor, Southeast for Relationship & Harmony and East for Tranquility & Stability.

So how do we go about applying this system of Feng Shui to energize and revitalize ourselves? If you want success and prosperity, you need to tap into the energy of the south by aligning your sitting position facing this direction. If you are not making any headway in your career and are looking for career advancement or business improvement, you can tap into this direction by having your table positioned in such a way that you now -face’ this direction while you work. If possible, your room door should also face (from inside looking out) this direction as this is actually tapping into your Sheng Qi direction. You should also sleep with your bed (headboard) situated to face this direction and your feet pointing in the opposite direction i.e. north.

If you want health and mentor luck, you have to tap into the energy of the north by aligning your sitting position facing this direction when you work. If you are feeling stressed out and looking to improve your health in general or to recover from a particular illness, you can tap into this direction the same way as mentioned above. The energy in this direction also brings good mentor luck or helpful people into your life. You should also sleep with your bed (headboard) situated to face this direction and your feet pointing in the opposite direction i.e. south.

If you cook at home, you should also orientate your stove or oven to face your Tian Yi or north direction for additional benefit in tapping the heath energy in this direction.

If you want relationship luck, you can tap into the energy of the southeast by aligning your sitting position facing this direction when you work. If you are having problems working with people and are looking to mend your relationship with them or building goodwill with people generally, you should tap into this direction the same way as mentioned above. This Qi helps foster better ties and build rapport with people be it loved ones, family, friends or colleagues. You should also sleep with your bed (headboard) situated to face this direction and your feet pointing in the opposite direction i.e. northwest.

A room door (inside looking outwards) that taps into this direction also helps to usher in relationship luck for you. Likewise, if the main entrance door of your house taps into this direction, you will also receive this positive energy into your home.

If you want peace and tranquility in your life, you should tap into the energy of the east by aligning your sitting position facing this direction when you work. This Qi helps you to relax, regain your composure and provides mental alertness. It is sedative and gives a sense of serenity in your living space. You should also sleep with your bed (headboard) situated to face this direction and your feet pointing in the opposite direction i.e. west.

Conclusion

Feng Shui can be an enabling factor in making your life less stressful, more productive and better organized for success if you take the proactive steps to welcome Qi into your life. Get A Free BaZi Reading of Your Destiny at BAZIDESTINY.SYNTHASITE.COM
