Crystal Healing

This is an interesting article:

People used crystals for centuries for healing and magical rituals. Their very appearance is mystifying so it's no wonder that the Western world latched onto the use of crystals as an alternative medical treatment.

The belief that the crystal is a tool that magnifies and isolates the energy of the universe to heal specific areas of the body has long been a tool for ancient healers. The colour of the stone used depends on the part of the body they attempt to heal.

The "prana" from India and "chi" of Chinese medicine both are life forces that circulate through the body. The chakra is the energy whorls located at various spots where the prana exists. In Chinese medicine, the chi follows a meridian and circulates. The use of crystals, in both cases, is to either enhance the energy or unblock it at specific points.

Sometimes the person receiving the healing energies lies as the person versed in crystal healing places the stones on the various charkas.

Crystals are part of the civilized world's economy. When you turn on your computer, crystals bring the communication of the world to your desktop. While no one knows whether crystals do the same for the body, it's one possibility that many people believe and use as an alternate method of healing on a daily basis.

Solar Eclipse

I think many of us are excited about the solar eclipse on 22nd July which is tomorrow. It has been many years since I last experienced one, and I remember I was quite young then, when the day turned dimmed as the sun was blocked by the passing moon.

Eclipse is a common astronomical phenomenon that is full of mythical connotations. My cina friends told me solar eclipse happens when the "heavenly dog" is eating the sun. I am sure other cultures have their own mythical beliefs too.

Scientifically, textbook tells me that solar eclipse is a natural phenomenon and it takes place when moon comes between sun and earth in a straight line. During the eclipse the moon passes over the surface of the earth. As we are at earth and we will be able to see that moon is going to block the light of sun as it totally covers the sun. This can only take place during a new moon, when sun and moon is in conjunction, as seen from earth. This is how solar eclipse takes place.

However, despite all these excitement built up by the media around the world, I won't be able to see the "longest solar eclipse" (about 6 minutes) of this century. This is because it happens in countries like India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar and China). The next total solar eclipse of such magnitude will only happen in year 2132!

A pity..

Out of the box

There is this creativity talk on the job. What is it? Experts say creative people are people who can come out with IDEAS..faster than anyone. It doesn't matter what kind of ideas, its how fast these good and bad ideas were churned out fast! The point is, some where will come a brilliant idea to solve the problem on the table. And in a more cost effective and better way.

I feel that if you are able to do that, then you will be a valuable asset to the organisation, as you can the one who comes out with ideas that could make the "gears" tick and move smoothly - a leading light. There are always problems on hand, and in the fast economy, that calls for someone with quick brains and composure. This quality alone can set you apart from another employee and make you more valuable to that employer.

Who does not have problems to solve at any kind of job they may be on?

I feel that thinking out of the box is something that can be learned. The sad thing is that this country needs many of such people in the top leading tier to progress. We are doing fine, but need something extra to jump to the "premier league" of asian countries.

That is why, drastic changes have to be made. Hope they know.

Meaning of LOVE

It's been a long time...glad this blog is still alive.

Everyone of us has a different meaning of love. People agree that humans need to love and be loved. There is no greater power than love in this world as its so empowering. It can motivate people to do things for others they wouldn't normally do. In ancient times, love can cause the collapse of a grand empire. Some even give up everything for the sake of the one they love. You see it in the newspapers everyday...

Here in our little planet, love is in abundance if you love for it and it comes from our heart that keeps it going on.

While there is much love, there is much hatred around too. Why is there so much hatred? The answer is simple. This world is unbalanced due to our different castes, religions and systems.

True love is more than a sentimental, gushy feeling that will keep us alive. Love is a decision, a choice we each must make.

In some points you will notice that most of people also find the definition of love same with that meaning, may be because it's the general definition of it. But for me to be more unique, in my own the meaning of love is giving or showing concern,help without expecting anything in return and even though they don't ask for a help".

It is important for us to know what is the true meaning of love in our own because it will be the key for us to be loved by others.

Short trip to the East

My family went to eastern city of Kuantan recently. It was the first time I went there and the 3 hours journey was enjoyable and cool. The traffic was not that heavy too compared to here in the capital.

The 3 hours journey was good, thanks to the chat I had with the people in my car. Else, I will be falling asleep. Actually I was there to bring my family for a tour of the country. It is my first time there too. Marie Callas says its an auspicious period for me to travel and she was right... Everything went smoothly. Nothing went missing! (for those who don't know, some items will go missing whenever we go for family outing)

We stayed at the hotel facing the scenic view of Kuantan river. There's an esplanade along the river and we rested at the eatery stalls over there. The food was decent and fragrant. Nothing to complain about except the sweltering weather.Yeah this is a nice place and i love this country.

Cutting it short..i plan to go there again in near future. The kids love it.

a precarious moment

As i am writing this post, a tension is building up intensely in North Asia where N Korea is going to test a missile in the pretext of "self defence". This has brought jitters among superpowers and N Korea's neigbhouring countries. Personally, i think this is not right and can be viewed as an act of potential aggression disguised a national defence.

Just imagine your neighbour practising archery by shooting arrows across your compound to the open land beyond that. Would you feel good about that? No, i think you will want to confront them with your own dose of "arrows". The outcome is of course wars!

I am a peace loving guy and I advocate humanity and compassion. I just do not understand what some political leaders are thinking. I think they are all a bunch of idiots, and somehow we are ruled by these idiots. Ultimately i believe all of them are self serving protecting own interests rather than serving people.

Sad state of affairs huh?

Forgiveness - wisdom of living

Marie Callas tells me in her letter that the Law of Forgiveness is working in your life everyday whether you authorizs it or not. This is not a law that you are bound by - it is a universal principle that has existed even before man set foot on the earth.

When you practice forgiveness, you find that others begin to treat you differently, and they really open you to you after some time..its like seeing light at the end of the dark long tunnel and you feel the glee when there is finally light at the end of it. Some will appreciate you to such a degree that they will open themselves to you and give whatever they can to aid you.

The law of Forgiveness is a living mechanism which helps you to take back the power you may have thrown away in the past. It just doesn't worth it spiritually if you have some intense hatred or dislike for someone as you are simply wasting energy that can be used for more positive attitudes and experiences in life.

This is the universe working in harmony after forgiveness has cleared the way for peace. So, in forgiving others, we become the recipients of comfort, peace and happiness.

I find this is wisdom of living.
