Dance of life
There were two hearts that met in a dance. That moment was magical. There was a sweet song playing, there was harmony…and soon…love in the air. They fell in love and started building castles I their dreams and promised forever with all certainty. But, somewhere, in the midst of the fun, they got lost in the dance, something went wrong, but they can never do anything. They were just drifting away, their fortress falling apart. There were so many questions…but no one had an answer.
The music stopped…and there was silence…
When we truly loved someone, we give our best and let that person see the pureness of our intention. But sometimes, that person makes us cry and hurts us for the wrong reason. That someone must have loved us, but he has not loved us enough to make him stand for what he truly felt.
Now, we are faced with the seemingly impossible task of forgetting. We have burdened ourselves long enough, but we still can’t get out of this emotional trap. Let us remember that the more we try to forget someone we love…the more painful letting go will become…
Sometimes, we never had to take that person out of our hearts at all…for he will always be there…no matter how we drive him away…It isn’t his presence that make this difficult. It is our stubbornness to accept our destiny that aligns forgetting next to impossible. We keep a cold face but deep in our hearts, there is still that lingering hope for reconciliation. Somehow, we still believe that we can rekindle small embers and relight the fire that once burned in our hearts. These thoughts give us hope… but also breed the seeds of loneliness and despair.
The only way to forget is to accept…and the only way to move on is to look ahead…and let the footprints of the past…be blown by the wind of time…only then can our hearts find a partner in the dance of life…and hopefully…never get lost again…
Broken Heart

Don't Cry Over Someone That Won't Cry Over You
If You Really Love Something Set It Free.
If It Comes Back It's Yours, If Not It Wasn't Meant To Be
Some Day You'll Cry For Me Like I Cried For You,
Some Day You'll Miss Me Like I Missed You,
Some Day You'll Need Me Like I Needed You,
Some Day You'll Love Me But I Won't Love You
Time will make you forget me but time will make me love you more than before.
If I never met you, I wouldn't like you. If I didn't like you I wouldn't love you.
If I didn't love you I wouldn't miss you, but I did, I do and I will.
My heart longs for you, my soul dies for you,
my eyes cry for you, my empty arms reach out for you.
Forget who hurt you yesterday,
But don't forget who loves you tenderly today.
Love can make you happy but often times it hurts,
but love is only special when you give it to who its worth.
The hardest part of loving someone is knowing when to let go,
and knowing when to say goodbye.
No pleassure, no expressions just an illusion of what should of but wasnt.
I hate you for not letting me have you.
The day you finally decide to love me will be the day
after the day I have given up on chasing you
I hate to see the one I love happy with somebody
but I surely hate it more to see the one I love unhappy with me...
I had a dream and it was about you ...
I smiled and recalled the memories we had ...
then I noticed a tear fell from my eyes ... you know why?
Coz in my dream you kissed me and said goodbye ...
How To Be A Woman

In the past hundred years or so, women have caused and experienced unprecedented social change. Whereas in previous years they were extremely limited in terms of their public power, they now have choices, experiences and opportunities. Many women are now playing multiple ‘roles’ - in addition to being a mother, a wife, and a daughter, they are also career women or running small businesses, writing, engaging in community work, active within politics, studying and many more things.
Steve Pavlina recently wrote a post in which he outlined his concept of what it meant to become a man. At the end he challenged his readers to write the opposing post - how to be a woman. Initially, I felt fairly excluded. What is there to stop any woman from meeting any of the points he makes? The answer is none, except possibly inclination. After some thought, however, I decided that there are some fundamental value decisions that women may have a different perspective on.
1. Take control, accept responsibility
Women tend to be raised to believe that group consensus matters. They will seek approval from their family and friend before major choices. They may give way to people they perceive as having more authority. All of this can be very positive at times - but it’s important to understand that ultimately your life is your responsibility. The choices you make should reflect your values, not those of the people around you. If you want to trek across three continents on your own, then you should. Yes, it will be dangerous, and yes you may face dangers that are overwhelming, but that’s life and that’s how we grow.
To put this in perspective, when I was 18 I traveled to the USA (I’m English) to meet and stay with friends I had only spoken to online. I repeated this when I was 20, but in Europe. That first trip I made was the first time I had ever flown, and I made a transatlantic flight by myself with no guarantee of who I was meeting. It was very scary, but I would never take that experience back. I learned more about myself in those two weeks than I had done in the entire previous year.
2. It’s okay not to do everything
There are women who manage to balance a very successful career with bringing up several children and being a loving wife. Usually they succeed, however, because they love what they do. If you hate kids then don’t have them. If you hate corporate life then don’t try and be a high-powered business woman. There is absolutely nothing wrong with focusing on your children and bringing them up well - and your kids will thank you for it.
I once heard a child say to his mother “We are not your children. Your business is your children”. Don’t do two things badly - do the thing you really want to do well.
3. It’s okay to do everything
Long gone are the days when women, once pregnant, were consigned to a house. Now you have incredible opportunities. Most employers should offer flexible working options, so that you can work and raise your children. Equally, men are much more open to the idea that they are equally responsible for bringing up children and doing household chores.
Additional income from a second working adult can spell the difference between no investments and future wealth. Equally, a job means you can maintain independent friends, income and hobbies.
There are also plenty of options for the home business owner. The internet is an incredibly powerful tool - use it wisely.
4. Be honest, not manipulative
Women tend to be better at manipulating people. They are often more aware of social nuance, and can ‘read’ hidden fears and desires much more astutely than some men. Used wisely, this can smooth over potential conflict, and allow people to communicate more effectively. Used badly, this can result in manipulation. Taking advantage of people and their vulnerabilities for your own personal gain is never okay. Sometimes expressing yourself honestly is the best path, even if it does lead to conflict.
5. Speak out
Women were silenced for thousands of years. Their writing was consigned to the literary pulp bin. They were not educated for fear their brains couldn’t take it. But they still managed to produce classic works, they still managed to make significant social changes, and they still managed to get and use power effectively. Right now we are the most educated and the most powerful that we have ever been.
We have also been ruled by a hierarchy of rich, white men for thousands of years. When they act according to their interests it is not in the best interest of everyone else. We finally are starting to see diversity in the people who make decisions that affect us all. The more diverse the experiences that make up a group, the more adaptable that group is. The more varied the skill set, the more varied the knowledge, the more resources a group has. Every group of people has a unique history, a unique perspective, and unique guidance to offer.
If you have something to say, then say it. Ask questions in class. Suggest improvements to your boss. Reveal corruption and crime to other people so that collectively we can deal with it. Be an example to other women - that we matter, that our problems are important, and that our suggestions are valuable.
6. Listen and learn
Part of speaking out involves listening. Dismissing male experience and male problems is as wrong as men dismissing female experience and female problems. Right now we are at a turning point of human social evolution. Everything the individual does impacts the larger social organism. Equally, the larger social organism impacts every individual. If China pollutes the skies, then we all feel the impact. If America declares war on a particular country, then every country has to deal with the aftermath - whether it is the refugees, or the economical downturn.
Therefore, someone else’s problem is our problem too. If we don’t help them create a solution that benefits everyone, then we may end up negatively impacted by their personal solution. On a smaller scale, if someone is abused as a child and does not receive help and attention from the people around them, they are very likely to abuse others when older.
In medical terms, prevention is better than cure.
7. Don’t wait for someone else
Traditionally, it was men who began courting and who proposed, and it was men who made major financial and life changing decisions within the family unit. But do you honestly want to sit around waiting for someone else to make up their mind to ask the question? If you want something, you have to take action to get it. That means popping the question. It means deciding where your money goes. It means working out what is important to you, and taking steps to achieve it.
It all comes back to equal opportunity - and equal responsibility.
8. Be fluid
Women are cyclical. Their hormones change, their moods and focus change. Our cycles are not something we should fight and struggle against, as that is tantamount to struggling against your own body. Equally, our cycles should not be allowed to rule our lives. We have to make the decisions to understand our bodies and what they need. We need to take advantage of the different parts of our cycle.
I am only just starting to understand my own mood and focus changes, but already the difference it has made is amazing. Instead of struggling to complete tasks that I ’should’ do, I do the tasks that are related to my focus. I’ve noticed that during the first half of the cycle I am very sociable, very outward orientated, and very goal focused. During the second half I draw inwards, I become more concerned with myself, my immediate environment, and my health.
Now clearly I can’t quit working for two weeks out of every four, but what I can do is ensure that difficult and time-consuming tasks are completed in the first half of my cycle, and that easier or more personal projects are completed in the second half.
Listen to your body. It knows what it needs.
9. Eat Well
I’ve rarely met a woman who didn’t have some sort of issue with food. From fad diets to binging and detoxing, from hyper-controlled portion sizes to complete chaos. Food is a very fundamental part of our health and our social lives. The media in particular is very fickle when it comes to how it talks about women and their body shapes.
We all know that being undernourished is unhealthy and that being obese is unhealthy. There are a vast range of ideal weights however, and we all have one that is appropriate for us. Far more important than our weight is our happiness, our confidence and our personality.
Food is here to be enjoyed. It is here to be colorful, interesting and to replenish us. Half a celery stick and a piece of lettuce is not enough. It is much better to eat lots of varied foods, and exercise than it is to restrict calorie intake and remain sedentary.
Aim for optimum health, not optimum weight.
10. Accept your sexuality and love your body
You are beautiful. You are a sexual being. Enjoy sex, don’t do anything you don’t want to do, experiment, and don’t be afraid to take control once in a while. Sex is a wonderful thing, but it takes a bit of work and experimentation to understand it. Masturbation is a great way to gain confidence and knowledge before inviting someone else in. It’s okay to have one night stands as long as everyone is honest with each other, and everyone stays safe (use condoms!) It’s okay to wait for the one person you are sure about, even if it takes a while, as long as you are making yourself happy meanwhile. It’s okay to have fantasies. It’s okay to be single. It’s okay to be in relationship as long as you feel loved and safe.

How to Be a Man

How to Be a Man
What does it mean to be a man today? How can men consciously express their masculinity without becoming cold or closed-hearted on the one hand… or wimpy and emasculated on the other? What’s the most loving way for a conscious man to express himself?
Here are 10 ways to live more consciously as a man:
1. Make real decisions.
A man understands and respects the power of choice. He lives a life of his own creation. He knows that life stagnates when he fails to decide and flourishes when he chooses a clear path.
When a man makes a decision, he opens the door he wants and closes the doors he doesn’t want. He locks onto his target like a guided missile. There’s no guarantee he’ll reach his target, and he knows this, but he doesn’t need such guarantees. He simply enjoys the sense of inevitability that comes from pushing the launch button.
A man doesn’t require the approval of others. He’s willing to follow his heart wherever it leads him. When a man is following his heart-centered path, it’s of little consequence if the entire world is against him.
2. Put your relationships second.
A man who claims his #1 commitment in life is his relationship partner (or his family) is either too dishonest or too weak to be trusted. His loyalties are misplaced. A man who values individuals above his own integrity is a wretch, not a free thinker.
A man knows he must commit to something greater than satisfying the needs of a few people. He’s not willing to be domesticated, but he is willing to accept the responsibility that comes with greater challenges. He knows that when he shirks that duty, he becomes something less than a man. When others observe that the man is unyieldingly committed to his values and ideals, he gains their trust and respect, even when he cannot gain their direct support. The surest way for a man to lose the respect of others (as well as his self-respect) is to violate his own values.
Life will test the man to see if he’s willing to put loyalty to others ahead of loyalty to his principles. The man will be offered many temptations to expose his true loyalties. A man’s greatest reward is to live with integrity, and his greatest punishment is what he inflicts upon himself for placing anything above his integrity. Whenever the man sacrifices his integrity, he loses his freedom… and himself as well. He becomes an object of pity.
3. Be willing to fail.
A man is willing to make mistakes. He’s willing to be wrong. He’d rather try and fail than do nothing.
A man’s self-trust is one of his greatest assets. When he second-guesses himself by worrying about failure, he diminishes himself. An intelligent man considers the prospect of failure, but he doesn’t preoccupy himself with pointless worry. He accepts that if a failure outcome occurs, he can deal with it.
A man grows more from failure than he does from success. Success cannot test his resolve in the way that failure can. Success has its challenges, but a man learns more about himself when he takes on challenges that involve risk. When a man plays it safe, his vitality is lost, and he loses his edge.
4. Be confident.
A man speaks and acts with confidence. He owns his attitude.
A man doesn’t adopt a confident posture because he knows he’ll succeed. He often knows that failure is a likely outcome. But when the odds of success are clearly against him, he still exudes confidence. It isn’t because he’s ignorant or suffering from denial. It’s because he’s proving to himself that he has the strength to transcend his self-doubt. This builds his courage and persistence, two of his most valuable allies.
A man is willing to be defeated by the world. He’s willing to be taken down by circumstances beyond his control. But he refuses to be overwhelmed by his own self-doubt. He knows that when he stops trusting himself, he is surely lost. He’ll surrender to fate when necessary, but he won’t surrender to fear.
5. Express love actively.
A man is an active giver of love, not a passive receiver. A man is the first to initiate a conversation, the first to ask for what’s needed, and the first to say “I love you.” Waiting for someone else to make the first move is unbecoming of him. The universe does not respond positively to his hesitation. Only when he’s in motion do the floodgates of abundance open.
Man is the out-breath of source energy. It is his job — his duty — to share his love with the world. He must wean himself from suckling the energy of others and become a vibrant transmitter of energy himself. He must allow that energy to flow from source, through him, and into the world. When he assumes this role, he has no doubt he is living as his true self.
6. Re-channel sex energy.
A man doesn’t hide his sexuality. If others shrink from him because he’s too masculine, he allows them to have their reaction. There’s no need for him to lower his energy just to avoid frightening the timid. A man accepts the consequences of being male; he makes no apologies for his nature.
A man is careful not to allow his energy to get stuck at the level of lust. He re-channels much of his sexual energy into his heart and head, where it can serve his higher values instead of just his animal instincts. (You can do this by visualizing the energy rising, expanding, and eventually flowing throughout your entire body and beyond.)
A man channels his sexual energy into his heart-centered pursuits. He feels such energy pulsing within him, driving him to action. He feels uncomfortable standing still. He allows his sexual energy to explode through his heart, not just his genitals.
7. Face your fears.
For a man, being afraid of something is reason enough to do it. A man’s fear is a call to be tested. When a man hides from his fears, he knows he’s fallen out of alignment with his true self. He feels weak, depressed, and helpless. No matter how hard he tries to comfort himself and achieve a state of peace, he cannot overcome his inner feeling of dread. Only when facing his fears does a man experience peace.
A man makes a friend of risk. He doesn’t run and hide from the tests of fear. He turns toward them and engages them boldly.
A man succeeds or fails. A coward never makes the attempt. Specific outcomes are of less concern to a man than his direction.
A man feels like a man whenever he faces the right way, staring straight into his fears. He feels even more like a man when he advances in the direction of his fears, as if sailing on the winds of an inner scream.
8. Honor the masculinity of other men.
When a man sees a male friend undertaking a new venture that will clearly lead to failure, what does the man do? Does he warn his friend off such a path? No, the man encourages his friend to continue. The man knows it’s better for his friend to strike out confidently and learn from the failure experience. The man honors his friend’s decision to reach out and make the attempt. The man won’t deny his friend the benefits of a failure experience. The man may offer his friend guidance, but he knows his friend must fail repeatedly in order to develop self-trust and courage.
When you see a man at the gym struggling to lift a heavy weight, do you jump in and say, “Here… let me help you with that. Maybe the two of us can lift it together”? No, that would rob him of the growth experience — and probably make a quick enemy of him as well.
The male path is filled with obstacles. It typically includes more failures than successes. These obstacles help a man discover what’s truly important to him. Through repeated failures a man learns to persist in the pursuit of worthy goals and to abandon goals that are unworthy of him.
A man can handle being knocked down many times. For every physical setback he experiences, he enjoys a spiritual advancement, and that is enough for him.
9. Accept responsibility for your relationships.
A man chooses his friends, lovers, and associates consciously. He actively seeks out the company of people who inspire and challenge him, and he willingly sheds those who hold him back.
A man doesn’t blame others for his relationship problems. When a relationship is no longer compatible with his heart-centered path, he initiates the break-up and departs without blame or guilt.
A man holds himself accountable for the relationships he allows into his life. He holds others accountable for their behavior, but he holds himself accountable for his decision to tolerate such behavior.
A man teaches others how to treat him by the relationships he’s willing to allow into his life. A man refuses to fill his life with negative or destructive relationships; he knows that’s a form of self-abuse.
10. Die well.
A man’s great challenge is to develop the inner strength to express his true self. He must learn to share his love with the world without holding back. When a man is satisfied that he’s done that, he can make peace with death. But if he fails to do so, death becomes his enemy and haunts him all the days of his life.
A man cannot die well unless he lives well. A man lives well when he accepts his mortality and draws strength from knowing that his physical existence is temporary. When a man faces and accepts the inevitability of death… when he learns to see death as his ally instead of his enemy… he’s finally able to express his true self. So a man isn’t ready to live until he accepts that he’s already dead.

September Sapphire

September 1st na, buwan na ng mga Ber.
Eto ang simula kung san makakarinig tayo ng himig pampasko.
Ano sa karamihan ang napasok sa isip pag Ber month na? madami ang excited sa pagdating ng Pasko at pagkuha ng mga bonuses, yung iba nagmamadali na magbakasyon o magplano sa paguwi sa kanilang mga mahal na pamilya, pero marami din nalulungkot sa pagdating ng Pasko dahil sa hindi nila kaya makapiling ang kanilang mga mahal sa buhay dahil sa iba't ibang mga kadahilanan.
Iniisip nadin natin ang mga regalo sa mga inaanak,pamilya at mga mahal sa buhay,yung iba naghahanda na sa pagtatago dahil sa mga madaming inaanak o kamaganak na pupunta sa bahay upang mamasko. Kaya ngayon palang magsimula na kayo magipon at magtipid dahil siguradong gastos sa pagdating ng pasko.walang kasing saya pagkasama mo ang pamilya mo sa araw ng kapanganakan ng ating mahal na Panginoon, di baleng konte handa basta't magkakasama lang.Pero paano ba nating mapapadama ang tunay na simbolo ng pasko sa ating mga mahal sa buhay kahit na hindi nila kayo kapiling.Maging kontento ba tayo sa sulat, package o sa perang ipapadala lang sa kanila dahil sa hindi mo kaya sila makasama.Ipagdasal na lang natin na nasa mabuting kalagayan ang ating mga mahal sa buhay at maging masaya....
Anyway malayo pa ang pasko, madami pa araw na magdadaan para paghandaan at ma plano ang gusto mo gawin.
Eto pala ang birthstone ng September.
Peace!!

How to Be a Good Person

How to Be a Good Person
We must look to our inner feelings and our thoughts. Thinking positive thoughts, trusting those that offer you friendship, and dismissing both anger and hateful feelings, will result in a change from within us. We will think good thoughts, thus we will become good. We will do good, thus our entire persona will change. We will trust, instead of distrusting. We will care instead of being uncaring. We will help others in their time of need, instead of sitting back and waiting for someone else to help. We will in essence become a good person.
Steps
1. Start each day with a plan. Think of what you would like to see and do. Then think of someone who is lonely. Someone who, perhaps lives alone, and has no family. Ask this person to join you, in your plan for the day. Share your time with them, ask them for lunch. This might be the highlight of their week. Be happy by making others happy.
2. Offer to pet sit, when you know a friend is going on vacation. If you know a neighbor is sick, ask them if they need groceries, when you go food shopping.
3. Stop and talk to someone who is lonely, share a cup of coffee and pick up the bill.
4. Always be kind and never yell. Whatever you say, whenever you say it, do so in a calm, polite voice that is respectful to the other side.
5. Assume each person you meet is a good person, and act likewise. If you see someone do something bad, try to consider what they are dealing with in their own life, and try to help them stop without yelling, accusing, or otherwise negatively confronting him or her. Instead, try to discover what motivated their bad act, and show them how it was hurtful. At the very least, you can get them to stop and then take steps yourself to undo the damage done.
6. Whenever you can, try to help someone else. It could be at their work (or homework), at relationships and more. If someone asks you something, never dismiss them but try to be as helpful as you can, even if you don't do what they asked. You can suggest to another to do what they wanted or point out who can help them.
7. Help, even if you aren't asked. You should look around to see if someone needs help and help them without prompting. It can be a simple thing, to help someone with something that he seems to have difficulties in or something you think he needs or will need.
8. Make it a hobby to try every once in a while volunteer somewhere or do something really nice for other people.
9. Don't try to take credit when you're nice. There is a lot of satisfaction in watching someone do something because you've helped him when he doesn't know he's been helped.
10. Your heart is very powerful: Here is how Good deed can be express in life:
o Good thought--even you did not do anything, sending caring and compassion thoughts to others around is one kind of good deed.
o Simple kindness-includes a smile, open door for someone, be considerate, be more patient to those who serve you.
o give with no expectation for reward (no matter they are thankful or not) and
o give with consideration of others. If you were in their shoes, how would you prefer them to help you. If you're thirsty this moment, would you happy when someone give you a bag of chips or a glass of water. Be consider and be wise when offering helps. But sometimes you don't always give the right help, that's okay. as long you had a good intention, that's all it matter.
11. Believe in the power of your actions to influence others. When other people see you doing good deeds, they will be reminded to take more positive action themselves. This is truly the Power of One to make positive change in the world.
12. Remember, Compassion and kindness spread.
13. "It is not how much you give, it is how much love you putting in when you giving"
14. "It is not how much you do, it is how much love you putting in when you doing"
15. "Not everyone can do great deed, but everyone can do small deed with great love"
Tips
• Whenever you are doing something, ask yourself the question "Am I hurting myself or others". If the answer is no, then you aren't doing harm.
• Imagine what you would appreciate, and then find ways to do those things for others.
• Adopt pets, it is an excellent exercise at kindness, plus it is being kind to help an animal. You can even "adopt temporarily" by offering to foster an animal and help resocialize it so that it can be permanently adopted by a family or other person.
Warnings
• Don't push your assistance on people who don't want it. If someone is telling you they don't want your help, just apologize if you presumed, and bow out gracefully.
• Don't be so nice and constantly helpful that people take advantage of you. Part of being a good person is helping others become better people. Doing everything for someone who is capable of taking care of him or herself is not helpful to either of you.
• Be nice to people that deserve your kindness, but don't insult those who don't. Help them become better people.
• Don't think only of the short term. The kind acts you perform today may teach someone to do kind acts for others - they will learn by your example, and because they were the recipient of kindness.
• Never act superior to anyone else. Your dedication to a particular creed, ideology, or set of guidelines does not give you the right to look down on anyone else. People are much more likely to look up to someone who others say is a good person than someone who goes around telling everyone how good he or she is.
• Don't forget that there's more to being a good person than simply doing good things. People often do right things for the wrong reasons, and wrong things for the right reasons. Think about how the way you view situations and decisions (your perspective) influences how you feel about yourself, how you feel about your friends, and how you feel about life.
Things You'll Need
• A good heart
• Generosity
• Courage

1 Ang Panginoon ay aking pastor; hindi ako mangangailangan.
2 Kaniyang pinahihiga ako sa sariwang pastulan: pinapatnubayan niya ako sa siping ng mga tubig na pahingahan,
3 Kaniyang pinapananauli ang aking kaluluwa: pinapatnubayan niya ako sa mga landas ng katuwiran alangalang sa kaniyang pangalan.
4 Oo, bagaman ako'y lumalakad sa libis ng lilim ng kamatayan, wala akong katatakutang kasamaan; sapagka't ikaw ay sumasa akin: ang iyong pamalo at ang iyong tungkod, ay nagsisialiw sa akin.
5 Iyong pinaghahandaan ako ng dulang sa harap ko sa harapan ng aking mga kaaway: iyong pinahiran ang aking ulo ng langis; ang aking saro ay inaapawan.
6 Tunay na ang kabutihan at kaawaan ay susunod sa akin sa lahat ng mga kaarawan ng aking buhay: at ako'y tatahan sa bahay ng Panginoon magpakailan man.
Serenity Prayer

The Serenity Prayer
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.
--Reinhold Niebuhr
Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will direct your paths.
Proverbs 3, 5-6

Color: Meaning, Symbolism and Psychology

Our reaction to color is almost instantaneous and has a profound impact on the choices we make everyday.
This lens is a quick look at general responses to colors based on research, historical significance of color and word association studies.
I have also included links to color personality tests that may give you some insight into your own color associations as well as how you react to different colors.
In addition to what is below on my site Sensational Color I have three sections that expand upon this information:
Color Meaning, Symbolism & Psychology
Colorful Phrases & Their Meaning
Color Around the World
Meaning of the Color Blue
Blue is the overwhelming "favorite color." Blue is seen as trustworthy, dependable and committed. The color of sky and the ocean, blue is perceived as a constant in our lives.
As the collective color of the spirit, it invokes rest and can cause the body to produce chemicals that are calming; however not all blues are serene and sedate. Electric or brilliant blues become dynamic and dramatic, an engaging color that expresses exhilaration.
Some shades or the overuse of blue may come across as cold or uncaring. Blue is the least "gender specific" color, having equal appeal to both men and women.
How the color blue affects us physically and mentally
* Calming and sedate
* Cooling
* Aids intuition
Meaning of the Color Green
Green occupies more space in the spectrum visible to the human eye and is second only to blue as a favorite color. Green is the pervasive color in the natural world that is an ideal backdrop in interior design because we are so used to seeing it everywhere.
The natural greens, from forest to lime, are seen as tranquil and refreshing, with a natural balance of cool and warm (blue and yellow) undertones. Green is considered the color of peace and ecology. However, there is an "institutional" side to green, associated with illness or Government-issued that conjure up negative emotions as do the "slimy" or bilious greens.
How the color green affects us physically and mentally
* Soothing
* Relaxing mentally as well as physically
* Helps alleviate depression, nervousness and anxiety
* Offers a sense of renewal, self-control and harmony
Meaning of the Color Yellow
Yellow shines with optimism, enlightenment, and happiness. Shades of golden yellow carry the promise of a positive future. Yellow will advance from surrounding colors and instill optimism and energy, as well as spark creative thoughts.
How the color yellow affects us mentally and physically
* Mentally stimulating
* Stimulates the nervous system
* Activates memory
* Encourages communication
Meaning of the Color Orange
Orange, a close relative of red, sparks more controversy than any other hue. There is usually strong positive or negative association to orange and true orange generally elicits a stronger "love it" or "hate it" response than other colors. Fun and flamboyant orange radiates warmth and energy. Interestingly, some of the tones of orange such as terra cotta, peach or rust have very broad appeal.
How the color orange affects us mentally and physically
* Stimulates activity
* Stimulates appetite
* Encourages socialization
Meaning of the Color Red
Red has more personal associations than any other color. Recognized as a stimulant red is inherently exciting and the amount of red is directly related to the level of energy perceived. Red draws attention and a keen use of red as an accent can immediately focus attention on a particular element.
How the color red affects us mentally and physically
* Increases enthusiasm
* Stimulates energy
* Encourages action and confidence
* A sense of protection from fears and anxiety
Meaning of the Color Purple
Purple embodies the balance of red simulation and blue calm. This dichotomy can cause unrest or uneasiness unless the undertone is clearly defined at which point the purple takes on the characteristics of its undertone. A sense of mystic and royal qualities, purple is a color often well liked by very creative or eccentric types and is the favorite color of adolescent girls.
How the color purple affects us mentally and physically
* Uplifting
* Calming to mind and nerves
* Offers a sense of spirituality

* encourages us to clear clutter or obstacles
* evokes purification of thoughts or actions
* enables fresh beginnings
Meaning of the Color Gray
Gray is timeless, practical, and solid. A longstanding favorite suit color, gray can mix well with any color. Although well like and often worn, people rarely name gray as a favorite color possibly because Gray also is associated with loss or depression.
How the color gray affects us physically and mentally
* unsettling
* expectant
Meaning of the Color Black
Black is authoritative and powerful; because black can evoke strong emotions too much can be overwhelming. A classic color for clothing possibly because it makes the wearer appear thinner and more sophisticated.

Inner Freedom is Real Freedom

Freedom from the compulsion of thinking incessantly is real freedom. Your mind thinks from the moment you wake up in the morning until you fall asleep at night. It gives you no moment of rest. It creates thoughts and also receives thoughts from the outside. This habit is so strong and deeply embedded that nobody even thinks of changing it.
In this state you are not free. You may live in a free country; you may have economic independence, yet the mind keeps chaining you to a contant flow of useless and futile thoughts, mental images and worries.
Only by silencing the hectic mind you become able to enjoy true peace and freedom. The mind is made of thoughts, so it does what it knows well, which is thinking. It provides a constant mental movie. It is as if we are riveted in front of a screen, where we watch movies all the time. The movies are so real that we never question their validity.
If you could have been able to watch people's inner mind, you would have seen a very interesting spectacle. You would have seen each person living in a kind of closed, imaginary world, watching his/her thoughts.
You would have seen thoughts created by different minds float through the air, and are picked by others, who believe they are their own thoughts. They cherish these floating thoughts and talk, act and behave as if these thoughts are a part of them. So where is freedom?
You may live in a free country, yet in your inner life you may not be free. Real freedom means to be above thoughts and the mental world. It means becoming the master of your mind. It is being able to think and accept into your mind only the thoughts of your choice, and when there is no need to think, you just stop thinking.
Only when you are free from the compulsion of thinking you become free. You switch off the engine of your car when you arrive to your destination, because there is no necessity for it to keep on running. Why not do the same with the mind?
Imagine a state when mind is calm with not a ripple of a thought. In this state you become conscious of your inner self and know who you are. You feel your inner power. Happiness, which is inherent in each one of us, emerges when the walls of thoughts are removed. In this state there is no compulsion to think.
With the help of concentration, meditation, detachment, calmness, and the ability to filter and sift thoughts, without getting involved and swept by them, it is possible to reach and live in real and true freedom.
Make your mind quiet and you will enjoy real freedom
