Marie Callas on power of precious stones

Reading with great interest about Marie Callas writeup about gemstones. Certain gemstones have the ability to stimulate the svadhisthana chakra if being worn or carried around.

One is Carnelian. What is that? I have never heard before my whole life. Marie says it helps the wearer to live for the present moment, and promotes concentration and self-esteem. Also it re-activates the life force and makes it easier to express feelings. Wow..it sounds like a magic stone that can help you to feel less awkward while you express your feelings.

The other one is of course moonstone which I talked about yesterday. Marie Callas view on moonstone is it will open up your emotional wealth, getting in touch with the sensitive and receptive part of yourself. It removes fear and harmonises the emotional balance. For women it helps to purify the lymphatic system and restore hormonal balance.

Shall I get pendants of both stones? Am I being too rash? ......

Moonstones

I know nuts about moonstones or any other gemstones. It only comes to my attention when I was reading Marie Callas book last night and Marie's explanation on that fascinates me a lot therefore I made a search for moonstones online.

Marie Callas says that if I wear moonstone, I could also be activating svadhisthana chakra directly. Moonstones are labelled the stone of love and tender and is characterised by an enchanting play of light making it as a "lovers' stone", evoking tender feelings and safeguarding the true joys of love. It is also said that wearing a moonstone strengthens our intuition and our capacity to understand.

Last time I was sceptical what gemstones purpose but now I slowly realise there is power in this gemstones as they are formed by the powers of the nature. Well with so many feminine qualities, I'm thinking of where to get a moonstone necklace.

Repair done

It was a quiet weekend without the blastering sound of the telly. Everything seems less livelier. Managed to find a telly repair guy with a colleague's referral and by the time he arrived, it was already Sunday evening. He said the digital board responsible for the frequency scanning was spoiled and he needed to change to a new one. From there, I know the price wouldn't be decent and some more I heard that there was weekend rate for this type of service.

I held my breath for him to quote the price after nearly 2 hours of repair. Somehow, I sensed that the repair fee would be very expensive and wondering whether he was delaying his work to charge for more? I'm going to scold my colleague if that was the case.

Finally, the repair was done! The pictures were back to normal and I noticed that the tints were more contrasting too!

The price for this repair: RM320 for the new digital board + RM100 for the service rate! :( And he told me he charged me a normal day rate..... I should feel happy, right?

Telly broke down!

Now then I know how important is the status of television in the life of the people nowadays! OMG.... my trusted 29 inch telly broke down on Friday night just when I was in the high of watching my favourite entertainment show! The colour just turned to bluish tint although the image could be seen. However, it was just too much and it's eye strained. Soon the deterioration got worse and I got no choice but to off it. My family was emotionally devastated too!

Therefore, in the end, I asked a couple of nearby pals to come out for a supper session at the nearby mamak store... the roti canai and teh tarik tasted like heaven in the absence of the telly! And I ended the day with some Marie Callas svadhisthana stretching. :P

Orange colour

Marie Callas says that orange colour is able to active svadhisthana chakra very effectively because it is a source of invigoratig and innovative energy and releases 'frozen' emotions. It also heightens self esteem too and enhance sensua pleasure. What does it mean actually, does it mean those who are emotionally deprived have to wear more of orange clothes? I am puzzled.

Come to think of it, I have never worn any orange coloured clothes in my whole adult life in my impression. Is that why I am drawing blank in relationship? Perhaps I should buy a few orange coloured clothes. But I feel weird wearing it because it makes me feel very warm in the hot weather here in this country. Any other way out Marie?

Svadhisthana Chakra

Reading Marie Callas book, I came across this tongue twisting word 'Svadhisthana Chakra' a few times. From Marie's explanation, I guess my svadhisthana chakra is not well activated that's why I suffer in the area of love and romance. Sad, isn't it?

Making a google search for this term, I have more information about svadhisthana chakra and one website explains that this chakra is responsible for our sexuality. Too much of this chakra, you will be emotionally explosive, overly ambitious, manipulative, and caught up in illusions, overindulgent in the area of sexuality while too little of it is of course the opposite extreme of this state. Now I can explain why some people are promiscuous while some are nots. Well, but I think I need more of this chakra! *haha* Definitely!

Back to the Marie Callas exercise for activating Svadhisthana Chakra!

Colour of luck and vitality - Red

I read in a Chinese newspaper here about the spirituality of colours. I thought that is very interesting. It comes to the conclusion that human civilisations have a single common interpretation about the spirituality of the colours. It doesn't matter whether you are Chinese or Westerners, the meaning of red colour to both is very similar.

Here is the brief translation. Red is the colour of energy, vitality, luck and power. Isn't this explains why Chinese are obsessed with red? Red can lower your effects of illness and wounds. It can make you feel warm when you are in the cold. Red is also a powerful healing agent for healing diseases of the blood and circulation and also depression.

However, red is not to be used on people with high blood pressure or anxiety as it can make people feel more agitated. It is associated with luck too so businessman may consider decorating the offices in tones of red as it will draw in money. If you are a sales guy or gambler, red may spiritually increase your luck too!

Saturday's morning breakfast

Saturday morning I brought parents for dim sum breakfast. We haven't been to that stall for a couple of years since we shifted. Time really flies. They are so old now and I'm getting old too. So sad... Suddenly it’s like walking back the short memory lane. The stall's dim sum is their favourite and I remember they brought me here when I was still a small kid. That was thirty years back!!

The stall looked similar but there are big changes, they are probably disappointed to hear that the previous owner had passed away last year. I can see the sadness in their eyes. The new owner is a thirty something guy and he told us he was the nephew of the previous owner. Suddenly my dad said that the food and tea tasted different too, hmmm, was it old age nostalgia in work again?

I asked my dad would he want to come back here again for breakfast? From his look, I know what was his answer, and emotionally, I was weeping in my heart too. I just got to cheer them up this time like they used to cheer me up when I was younger.

Extra 2.5kg

Last night I went to 'see' doctor for my routine medical checkup. I'm glad everything is fine for me because nowadays, you never know what will happen to your health due to the stress, pollution and food our bodies take it day in day out. However, one thing irks me!! I put on 2.5kg of weight!! That's a true nightmare to a early 40s lady hoping to find a bf.

Did I eat too much last couple of months? Maybe I should cut down on those carbo food from now on, but, what if I get hungry and I've less energy to do my site job? I heard yoga can help with weight control, shall I go to enroll in one too?

Life is really full of predicaments.

Doubt and confidence

The meaning of this paragraph by Marie Callas is wonderful:

Always remember that confidence opens up the heart and enables the energy of love to circulate freely, whereas doubt has the opposite effect. Remember that confidence and doubt are two aspects of the same energy. This means if you are filled with doubt, you have the same amount of potential energy for confidence. All you have to do is to 'shift' this energy from doubt to confidence.

Those heels

Those heels, yes, they're classy and elegant. It really embellishes a lady's physical appearance when put all together with a matching outfit.

BUT somehow, it just doesn't get my attention at all and in fact I dislike them sometimes. That is why I hate those formal company events where ladies have to dress up. I feel some burden wearing it and it also slows my pace and restricts my movement as I'm athletic and agile. Yes, you can say I don't walk like a lady's supposed to walk, maybe that's why I don't attract guy's attention?

Qing Ming

It's Qing Ming and it's time for us descendants to pay respect to our passed away elders. Early in the morning, I drove my parents to the cemetry to pay respect to my grandparents who passed away when I was still quite young. I can vaguely remember how they looked like. As usual we cleaned the tomb area with solemnity. There was a lot of weedings to be done too and those weeds were really tenacious to be pulled away. Barely half on hour through, I was already perspiring as the morning sun was hot by this time.

We finished the two tombs before noon time and I was really thirsty. I feel that I was sunburned too by my arms and face. Well, we had a good lunch later and while I reached home, I was really tired. Had a bath and I slept like a log!

Easter invitation from friend

It's the Easter weekend and I'm eagerly looking forward to the longer weekend. A Xtian friend invited me to his home gathering this Friday and I'm still undecided. Personally I feel Easter is a more solemn occasions for Xtians than Xmas as Xmas is so heavily commercialised nowadays that it has really lost its truest meaning.

Frankly, last year I attended his invitation too however the event was simply too uninspiring for me. I'm always too kind to turn people down maybe I'm not that confident myself. They would begin with a long serious prayer, some socialising session, some ice-breaking games, program proper, makan session and end with another long prayer. Sorry for this ranting my friend...... because I decide to turn your invitation down! Sometimes we just got to follow our heart.

But I decide to spend at least 10 to 20 mins a day to do the Marie Callas techniques described yesterday to improve my luck in relationship...... SEriously I need a change on that!

Practising the technique

Last night I tried for the first time one of the techniques taught by Marie Callas about activating the chakra. I read the lines in the book carefully and tried to follow line by line of the instructions. I hope that I did it correctly as I did not want to do anything that is incorrect or wat.

I think better to have some pictures for people to see what's going on rather than just texts at least this is a better way of presentation. Hope Marie Callas can see this and maybe i'll write a letter to Marie about my feedback. Hmmm there is also no instructions how often we need to do this one becos there are a few other techniques and it's not possible to do all of them everyday. Hope Marie Callas can see this.

Love and romance

Seeing that every of my ex-classmates are happily married, I began to wonder why am I still hitting rocks in this area. Even the less prettier or handsome ones are married yet I'm considered above average yet it is still hopeless for me. After I came home, I ponder a lot. I am already 42, and the best time of mine for finding a mate is already over? Do you think so? That is why I hate to attend this type of gathering events because many of them will be asking me about this topic.

At night, I turned the Great Book of Secrets and flipped to the section about Love and Romance. With a burdened mind, I read read through thoroughly hoping to find some remedies. Marie Callas says love is a source of energy and briefly, the love energy in my body is 'blocked' somewhere near the chakra responsible for love and intimacy and this results in imbalance of giving and receiving of love and intimacy. Marie Callas also says to overcome this, I need to purify and activate this chakra only then can I enjoy a fruitful love life.

There are many ways in the book that tells me how to overcome it and I think I will have to give my faith to Marie Callas again by exercising on these techniques every day. The book is clear and concise but I wish there are some pictures as these will help in better understanding.

We had a noisy time..

Weekend came and went very quickly and while I couldn't stop it from going too fast, at least I had the chance to savour again some of the good old times with my beloved gang of university classmates. Yes it had been many years since we last had a gathering of this scale and the occasion was pompous and noisy because many of them brought their hyper active kids along. It kind of saddened me emotionally because I had been a failure in relationship. Will Marie Callas help me in this area?

Of course I had the chance to see my university boyfriend but he's now married happily with 3 grownup kids and a virtuous wife. Of course I am happy for him and we talked a bit.. Suddenly I thought of the incident that led to our breakup and it was chiefly my fault. *sigh... :( *
