January 20, 2009 at 11:12 am (Acting, Art, Astrological, Astrology, Beauty, Community, Culture, Entertainment, Family, Film)

In its broadest sense, the word abstract is applied to any art that does not represent recognizable objects. Abstract African American or Black Art is art that departs significantly from natural appearances that are African or Black. This form of Afrocentric Art usually has modifications or changes of varying degrees in order to emphasize certain qualities or content but the subject matter remains Black or Afro-cultural. Recognizable references to the original appearances may be slight. The term is also used to describe Black art that is nonrepresentational.

This form of Ethnic art is not realistic, an image is often based on an actual subject, place, or feeling. Pure abstraction can be interpreted as any art in which the depiction of real objects has been entirely discarded and whose aesthetic content is expressed in a formal pattern or structure of shapes, lines and colors. This is often a common theme in African art. Nonrepresentational lines, colours, shapes, and forms replace accurate visual depiction of objects, landscape, and figures. The subjects often stylized, blurred, repeated or broken down into basic forms so that they become unrecognisable. Intangible subjects such as thoughts, emotions, and time are also expressed in the abstract Black art form.

Flowers, as they say, are the kind of gift that can be given out of occasion. This is because of its many purposes, such as a way to convey specific feelings and emotions that are better seen that heard.

Have you ever wondered why flowers are the primary gift when a man courts a woman? Ever wondered why flowers are the common things that are given on a funeral? Or have you ever wondered why flowers are the thing that civilians give to soldiers when in war times? This is because of the language that only flowers can convey.

The language of flowers, sometimes called floriography, was a Victorian-era means of communication in which various flowers and floral arrangements were used to send coded messages, allowing individuals to express feelings which otherwise could not be spoken.

The nuances of the language are now mostly forgotten, but red roses still imply passionate, romantic love and pink roses a lesser affection; white roses suggest virtue and chastity and yellow roses still stand for friendship or devotion. Visit an online flowers Philippines shop to learn how to buy and send flowers back home.

Also commonly known meanings are sunflowers, which can indicate either haughtiness or respect – they were the favorite flower of St. Julie Billiart for this reason. Gerbera (daisy) means innocence or purity. The iris, being named for the messenger of the gods in Greek mythology, still represents the sending of a message. A pansy signifies thought, a daffodil regard, and a strand of ivy fidelity.

Aside from conveying thoughts, feelings, and emotions, flowers are also popular because of events and occasions that they symbolize. Among those events that flowers symbolized is the Valentines Day.

Valentine’s Day, which is celebrated on February 14th, is a major festival in the western hemisphere. People express their love for each other by means of gifts, of which flowers play a prominent role.

How To Speak With Body

December 18, 2008 at 2:19 pm (Acting, Art, Astrological, Astrology, Beauty, Community, Culture, Entertainment, Family, Film, Funny, Home, Human, Humanity, Humor, Life, Love, Music, Nature, News, Painting, Party)

The very best instrument there is for finding out what is going on with a person is her body. The state of the body will b-odybe a reflection of her overall state. That information is very useful, both to the person herself and to a process facilitator.

The best thing is if the person herself is in tune with her body and she feels what is going on with it. But even if she doesn’t, the facilitator will be able to pick up much information.

A person’s external body language speaks volumes. By observing somebody’s posture, eye movements, breathing and skin color, you can gain information about what she is doing in her mind. You can get the same information by listening to the qualities of her tone of voice. And this is without being psychic, just by looking and listening. If you add a bit of ESP to it, it just gets much easier.

Body language is a big subject and to master the reading of it to perfection requires a good deal of training and experience. Here we will just present some of the most practical things you can notice.

In the absence of knowing what different body movements mean, you can simply notice when there is a change in the client’s body. For example, if she is sitting perfectly still and suddenly starts twitching or moving her eyes – that is a change. Or if she changes her rate of breathing – that is a change.

Let’s say you have asked the client to close her eyes and move back to a past incident. At first she is just sitting still, her eyes not moving. But suddenly you can see her eyes moving behind her eyelids and her head is jerking a little bit, and maybe her breathing gets faster. Well, that most likely means that she found an incident. Interestingly, she might not herself have noticed that. Subconsciously she has the incident right there, but consciously she might not have acknowledged it. So, if she doesn’t start speaking by herself you can say “What’s that?”, or “What do you see?”

If we are dealing with an incident, the body will often show what is in it, or how she relates to it. If her eyeballs are moving, it means that there is something to look at. If she suddenly breathes pantingly, it means something exciting or stressful is going on

Healthy Culture

November 3, 2008 at 4:19 pm (Art, Astrological, Beauty, Community, Culture, Human, Humanity, Life, Love, Nature, News, People, Personal, Planets, Random, Relationships, Tips, writing)
Tags: , ,

Psychology is the subject that analyzes human behavior. Sociology describes in the same why the behavior of social groups. Anthropology or cultural science analyses behavior of specific groups. With the risk of oversimplifying, one could argue that with psychology one studies human behavior, culture is about studying group-behavior. Could we than make the same comparison to introduce the concept of a healthy culture, referring to the mind of the organization?

Psychology is about understanding the psyche of a person and how this affects his or hers action. We are all different and one of these differences is rooted in out mind.

A healthy culture can than be paralleled as having a healthy psyche as one human being would have. This is an area we can all think about and it is easy to have an idea what a healthy person would look like: someone who does his job, who is happy and who may have conflicts but those remain invisible for the outside world (accept for some friends perhaps)

A Healthy culture is one where an organization does what it has to do. There are conflicts, but they remain invisible for the outside world.

Vedic Astrological Perspective

October 17, 2008 at 9:54 am (Art, Astrological, Beauty, Community, Culture, Film, Human, Life, Nature, News, Planets, Poerty, Printing, Tips)

I had written an in-depth article comparing the presidential horoscopes but due to conflicting birth times of Sen. McCain have decided not to publish them. The charts I had with McCain at 9 AM it really looked like he would win the election, with lord of the ascendant Mercury in the ascendant and this powerful period beginning in spring 2009. Palin’s chart is also strong from the data we have.

Obama’s is not as powerful with it looking like an uphill battle and less likelihood of his being able to possibly pull off a Presidential win this time around. Next year shows Saturn conjuncting his natal Mars in Leo which could spell some bad event for him personally, or were he to actually win the presidency something shocking and violent at the end of the summer. It’s not hard to imagine what that could be. Biden’s chart is very strong, though, so he will continue to go forward, win or lose, in the immediate sense, but Obama’s needs to be strongest for a win for the presidency.

As I said, the time of McCain’s is the problem. If born at 11 AM then this changes things completely with Mercury tenanting the 12th, rather than the ascendant. Therefore I couldn’t depend on it, but we’re sure to see in a few months, one way or the other.

I then decided to look at the yearly new Moon chart for the USA this March. This is a chart cast when new Moon in Pisces occurs and to see the events and influences portended for the year for the country in general. It is NOT a pretty picture. The first thing that struck me is the Jupiter/Rahu conjunction in the 8th house of death. Jupiter represents the financial markets and Rahu causes death, destruction and chaos. I do not see this so-called “bailout” as helping the economy at all. Things are bound to be more than volatile. I might add that Jupiter/Rahu conjunction was happening in the stock market crash of 1929, also in the 8th house of the yearly chart. In 1987’s chart Jupiter and Rahu conjoined, as well, and this time in the 12th house of losses and confusion. Remember the stock market losses of Black Monday in 1987?

Pupet Modeling

October 9, 2008 at 12:37 pm (Art, Beauty, Culture, Human, Life, Nature, Photography, Relationships)

A puppet is a representational figure manipulated by a puppeteer. It is usually (but by no means always) a depiction of a human character, and is used in puppetry, a play or a presentation that is a very ancient form of theatre. The puppet undergoes a process of transformation through being animated, and is normally manipulated by at least one puppeteer.

There are many different varieties of puppets, and they are made of a wide range of materials, depending on their form and intended use. They can be extremely complex or very simple in their construction. They may even be found objects. As Oscar Wilde wrote, “There are many advantages in puppets. They never argue. They have no crude views about art. They have no private lives”. David Currell has said “A puppet is not an actor and a puppet theatre is not human theatre in miniature, because when an actor ‘represents’, a puppet ‘is

Puppetry by its nature is a flexible and inventive medium, and many puppet companies work with combinations of puppet forms, and incorporate real objects into their performances. So an bought corkscrew can become a dancer puppet; or they incorporate ‘performing objects’ such as torn paper for snow, or a sign board with words as narrative devices within a production. The following are, alphabetically, the basic and conventional forms of puppet
