MEANING OF AURA COLOURS


What is the Aura?
An aura, aka, Human Energy Field is a non-physical field of energies around a person, visible through clairvoyance. It is produced by the energy body (energosoma, or subtle body) of the person we are observing. (According to uk.iacworld.org).

In Latin and Greek, it means Wind, Breath or Breeze and in Middle English it means 'gentle breeze'. 
I will not go into the interest history of aura, if you are interested to know more you can google Wikipedia on the subject or maybe just click this URL : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aura_(paranormal)


Meaning of Aura Colors

An aura is described as an illuminated radiation around a person that may or may not be colored, descriptive of a person's personality, health, and state of mind. Here's a brief look into the meaning of aura colors of different variations, for those of you who are deeply interested in these theories.

Ever noticed how you feel when someone walks into a room? Good, bad, uncomfortable? Some may call it vibes, others may call it aura, but both are something one exudes naturally. Believe it or not, auras do exist, and explain why you may have experienced the aforementioned situations at some point in time. So what is an aura? Not everyone knows how to see auras, though over time, some have mastered the art of naturally seeing them with years of practice. Normally, auras can be seen only after using specific photography equipment designed to capture this radiation around a person in a photograph. Different people exude different colors. What does your aura color mean? 


Aura Colors and What They Mean

Aura colors are not always permanent. The color one may emit today and the one after a few days may not always be the same. Auras are radiated based on a person's personality, their physical health, as well as their current state of mind. For instance, an angry person may depict a murky red aura. However, if he/she is working to curb the anger by means of meditation or any other techniques, over time there may be a noticeable change. These colors also have several shades and tones, and an attempt has been made here to describe the meaning of the colors in as many shades as possible. (According to Buzz: http://www.buzzle.com)

The Red Family

Orange Red: Those who emit an orange red are known to be confident, creative individuals who can deal well with their problems.

Red: A clear red implies an individual who is powerful, competitive, sexually charged, and passionate about any undertaken task. They have a sense of self importance that determines their decisions in life. Such individuals may not be able to cope well with change.

Deep red: A deep red symbolizes that the person is down to earth, has his head on his shoulders, is practical and realistic, and has an unshakable determination.

Murky Red: A murky red aura is symbolic of anger that can in fact, repel the positivity that one may have been able to attract. Such persons may be anxious, worried, obsessed with money, frustrated, and may be unable to forgive easily. All these attributes are known to repel positivity.

Burgundy: Wealth, Success, prosperity, and elegance. Unconscious beauty.

Pink: A bright but light pink can be symbolic of a sensitive, loving individual who is compassionate and pure in many ways. A pink aura can also symbolize the beginning or the ongoing nature of a romance.

The Yellow Family

Pale Yellow: A pale yellow aura indicates psychic abilities, and someone who has a spiritual bent of mind. It indicates hope, and the ability to generate creative, positive ideas for one's betterment.

Other Colors

Gold: Someone with a golden aura is being guided towards doing only good by a divine power. A gold aura suggests inner wisdom, spirituality, and protection from the evils of the outer world.

Metallic Silver: This aura color clearly indicates someone who is open to suggestions and new ideas. Such individuals are also nurturing and loving by nature.

Muddy Gray: When noticed in specific areas of the body, a muddy gray aura color may be indicative of health problems associated with those areas. Such a color may also indicate fears pertaining to one's health or self.

Black: A black aura attracts energy and converts it in the process. Those who emit a black aura are individuals who haven't let go or forgiven past mistakes by themselves or others. It may also be a symbol of grief, or an indication of health issues when seen in specific body parts.

White: A white aura indicates abundance of energy that has not been tapped yet. Someone with a white aura is considered to have angelic qualities, honesty, and is believed to be absolutely pure and spiritual.

The meaning of aura colors given above are an indication of the overall state of being of the person. However, the intricacies may vary based on personal personality traits. This information was meant to give you a general idea into the world of aura reading. It is not as simple as it looks, and if you are serious about learning about your aura and the reason for the color you radiate, it is always a good idea to consult a specialist in the field.

USES OF ALOE VERA

Aloe Vera ... Aloe Vera!
The Egyptians for over 6,000 years have been using this amazing plant of immortality.

That's right; the spiky, green gem has a rich history of various cultures and personalities who used the plant's moist middle in a plethora of practical uses. Like Cleopatra who applied the gel to her body as part of her beauty regimen, the ancient Greeks who used it to cure everything from baldness to insomnia to the Native Americans who called aloe vera the "Wand of the Heaven."


It doesn't hurt that aloe vera produces at least six natural antiseptics, which are able to kill mold, bacteria, funguses, and viruses. In fact, the plant is so powerful that researchers and scientists are looking into its potential as an AIDS and cancer-fighter.

From all-around health elixirs to simple beauty aids, learn about the various ways to put your little plant to maximal use after splitting the leaves lengthwise down the middle.

If you decide to take aloe vera orally, seek out commercial, certified organic juice. And as for both topical and oral applications, it's always recommended to consult your doctor beforehand.


I am not a doctor—just a huge, huge fan of amazing, miraculous aloe!

40 Amazing Ways Aloe Vera can be used.

1. Pamper yourself to a soothing body rub. Slice aloe leaves lengthwise and use the inner sides as a biodegradable body scrub in the shower.

2. Treat burns from minor mishaps in the kitchen—from grease splatters or hot utensils.

3. For more major kitchen mishaps like a scald, mix some aloe gel and vitamin E oil into a little jar for a homemade burn healer.

4. Banish black and blue bruises by swapping on the good goo.

5. Soothe and heal sunburns the feel-good way. Aloe contains cooling properties similar to menthol.

6. Take the sting or itch out of insect bites.

7. Reduce tissue damage from frostbite.

8. Alleviate mysterious rashes.

9. Make feet baby soft with an exfoliating foot mask by mixing together a half cup of oatmeal, a half cup of corn meal, four tbsp. of aloe vera gel and a half cup of unscented body lotion.

10. Help heal herpes outbreaks.

11. Fight Athlete's Foot.

12. Swab over blisters for quick relief.

13. Use as an antidote to allergic skin reactions.

14. Replace creams and lotions as a general moisturizer for dry skin. Aloe is fast absorbing!

15. Prevent pesky pimples and treat acne.

16. Soothe Psoriasis.

17. Prevent scarring and stretch marks.

18. Help rid of Rosacea.

19. Shrink warts.

20. Reverse signs of aging skin and wrinkles. Cleopatra did!

21. Help eliminate Eczema.

22. Brighten skin. Aloe can decrease pigmentation and dark spots.

23. Make skin new again with an exfoliating, organic sugar scrub by mixing together two tbsp. of aloe vera, 2 tbsp. of organic brown sugar and 1 tsp. of organic lemon juice.

24. For rougher patches mix together an organic salt skin scrub using two cups of sea salt, one cup of aloe vera, one cup of organic coconut oil and two tbsp. of local, organic honey.

25. Speed up hair growth by massaging aloe into the scalp, letting it sit for 30 minutes, and rinsing.

26. Reduce hair dandruff by mixing aloe vera juice with coconut milk and wheat germ oil. Massage into scalp and rinse.

27. Replace aloe with conditioner for silkier, smoother hair.

28. Remove eye makeup.

29. Treat minor vaginal irritations.

30. Drink aloe vera juice to relieve gastrointestinal disorders like indigestion.

31. Sip it to aid in elimination. Many times, it's recommended for its laxative effects.

32. Take a swig to reduce symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome including bloating and discomfort.

33. Take aloe orally to relieve heartburn, arthritis and rheumatism pain.

34. Boil leaves in a pan of water and breathe in the vapor to alleviate asthma.

35. Drink to lower blood sugar levels—especially for diabetics.

36. Strengthen gums and promote strong, healthy teeth by taking orally or use toothpaste with aloe vera ingredients.

37. Drink to help ease congestion, stomach ulcers, colitis, hemorrhoids, urinary tract infections and prostate problems.

38. Take orally to reduce cholesterol and triglycerides for a healthy heart.

39. Sip to minimize inflammation and infection of the eye and ear.

40. Toast to its general detoxifier and health boosting qualities!

SOME PSYCHO-ANALYSIS FOR ALL NIGERIAN POLITICIANS - NAY OR YEA!

Hi guys,

Today I get to touch on a topic I have been deliberately avoiding to write about, POLITICS!

I don't like to talk politics especially when it is in relation to my country, Nigeria. I have tried as much to stay out of any political debates.
The truth is, what exactly do I know about Nigerian politics, though, I may say, I do know a few about the world politics. There are books and documentation to that effect. So don't judge me.

Every time I hear and see how Nigeria politics - "the so called democratic politics" displays itself,  I want to pull out my hair and scream. 
The things, these politicians say, is most embarrassing which makes me wonder how did we end up with people like that in power? 

Well, I'm going to try and stop myself from using adjectives to describe how incompetent and ignorant our politicians are. Maybe not all but majority of them.

I think it is high time we begin to use various assessments - such as psychological, physiological, neurological, medical  assessments...and the likes, to elect people into power.

If these assessments are required in a workplace before you get accepted into a position within a company, tell me, why can't we use them to elect people into roles that has to do with one governing millions of people's lives and destiny. 
After all, been in a position to govern is a place of work in itself so why not treat it as such? Right? 
One can say that running a country is no where close to running a company though there are more similarities than differences. 
It's just crazy when you hear the words coming out of the so-called Nigerian politicians' mouths even some  four year old can do better.
Well, what can I say? Just some stupid random thoughts....

CANCER AWARENESS MONTH - WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT CANCER?

Hey guys,

October is international breast cancer awareness month. So, I have decided to share some researched information on cancer,  the forms of cancers and how best to prevent it. 
Like the good doctors would say, prevention is better than cure!
The issue of cancer should be a concern for everyone, who knows, one day you may one day save a life.

So the question is, WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT CANCER?
If nothing, then you should start and here is a good place. And if you know a lot, then good, you can help educate the rest of us! 

So, what is CANCER?


Cancer, also called malignancy, is an abnormal growth of cells. There are more than 100 types of cancer, including breast cancer, skin cancer, lung cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer, and lymphoma. Symptoms vary depending on the type. Cancer treatment may include chemotherapy, radiation, and/or surgery.



Cancer is a class of diseases characterized by out-of-control cell growth. There are over 100 different types of cancer, and each is classified by the type of cell that is initially affected.
Cancer harms the body when altered cells divide uncontrollably to form lumps or masses of tissue called tumors (except in the case of leukemia where cancer prohibits normal blood function by abnormal cell division in the blood stream). Tumors can grow and interfere with the digestive, nervous, and circulatory systems, and they can release hormones that alter body function. 
Tumors that stay in one spot and demonstrate limited growth are generally considered to be benign.

More dangerous, or malignant, tumors form when two things occur:

• A cancerous cell manages to move throughout the body using the blood or lymphatic systems, destroying healthy tissue in a process called invasion.

• That cell manages to divide and grow, making new blood vessels to feed itself in a process called angiogenesis.

When a tumor successfully spreads to other parts of the body and grows, invading and destroying other healthy tissues, it is said to have metastasized. This process itself is called metastasis, and the result is a serious condition that is very difficult to treat.

Detection is just the first step. The next step is to make sure the patient receives the results of appropriate tests and is guided to treatment.


Early detection does not necessarily depend on expensive diagnostic equipment. In countries that don’t have widely available mammography technology for mass screening, routine clinical examination performed by well-trained community health workers, nurses and physicians can help diagnose more cases earlier.

Factors that are known to increase the Risk of Cancer

• Cigarette Smoking and Tobacco Use
• Infections
• Radiation
• Immunosuppressive Medicines

Factors that may affect the Risk of Cancer

• Diet
• Alcohol
• Physical Activity
• Obesity
• Diabetes
• Environmental Risk Factors

Scientists study risk factors and protective factors to find ways to prevent new cancers from starting. Anything that increases your chance of developing cancer is called a cancer risk factor; anything that decreases your chance of developing cancer is called a cancer protective factor.
Some risk factors for cancer can be avoided, but many cannot. For example, both smoking and inheriting certain genes are risk factors for some types of cancer, but only smoking can be avoided. Risk factors that a person can control are called modifiable risk factors.
Many other factors in our environment, diet, and lifestyle may cause or prevent cancer. This summary reviews only the major cancer risk factors and protective factors that can be controlled or changed to reduce the risk of cancer. Risk factors that are not described in the summary include certain sexual behaviors, the use of estrogen, and being exposed to certain substances at work or to certain chemicals.


Not Nigerians' kind of change, but a real change...time for a cure!
