I WANT U TO KNOW BY ZEDD

[Selena Gomez]
I want you to know that it’s our time
You and me bleed the same light
I want you to know that I’m all yours
You and me run the same course

I’m slippin down a chain reaction
And here I go here I go here I go go
And once again I’m yours in fractions
It takes me down pulls me down pulls me down low

Honey it’s raining tonight
But storms always have an eye have an eye
Tell me you’re covered tonight
Or tell me lies tell me lies lies

I want you to know that it’s our time
You and me bleed the same light
I want you to know that I’m all yours
You and me we’re the same force
I want you to know that it’s our time
You and me bleed the same light
I want you to know that I’m all yours
You and me run the same course

I want you to know that it’s our time
You and me bleed the same light

I’m better under your reflection
But did you know did you know did you know know?
That’s anybody else that’s met ya
It’s all the same all the same all the same glow

Honey it’s raining tonight
But storms always have an eye have an eye
Tell me you’re covered tonight
Or tell me lies tell me lies lies

I want you to know that it’s our time
You and me bleed the same light
I want you to know that I’m all yours
You and me we’re the same force
I want you to know that it’s our time
You and me bleed the same light
I want you to know that I’m all yours
You and me run the same course

You and me run the same course

I want you to know that it’s our time
You and me bleed the same light
I want you to know that I’m all yours
You and me run the same course

I REALLY LIKE U BY CARLY RAE JEPSEN

I really wanna stop
But I just got the taste for it
I feel like I could fly with the boy on the moon
So honey hold my hand, you like making me wait for it
I feel like I could die walking up to the room, oh yeah

Late night, watching television
But how'd we get in this position?
It's way too soon, I know this isn't love
But I need to tell you something

I really really really really really really like you
And I want you. Do you want me? Do you want me too?
I really really really really really really like you
And I want you. Do you want me? Do you want me too?

Oh, did I say too much?
I'm so in my head
When we're out of touch
I really really really really really really like you
And I want you. Do you want me? Do you want me too?

It's like everything you say is a sweet revelation
All I wanna do is get into your head
Yeah we could stay alone, you and me, in this temptation
Sipping on your lips, hanging on by thread, baby

Late night, watching television
But how'd we get in this position?
It's way too soon, I know this isn't love
But I need to tell you something

I really really really really really really like you
And I want you. Do you want me? Do you want me too?
I really really really really really really like you
And I want you. Do you want me? Do you want me too?

Oh, did I say too much?
I'm so in my head
When we're out of touch (When we're out of touch)
I really really really really really really like you
And I want you. Do you want me? Do you want me too?

Who gave you eyes like that?
Said you could keep them?
I don't know how to act
Or if I should be leaving
I'm running out of time
Going out of my mind
I need to tell you something
Yeah, I need to tell you something

(YEAAAAAAH!) I really really really really really really like you
And I want you. Do you want me? Do you want me too?
I really really really really really really like you (Oh, oh, ohh!)
And I want you. Do you want me? Do you want me too? (Do you want me, too?)

Oh, did I say too much? (Did I say too much?)
I'm so in my head (I'm so in my head)
When we're out of touch (When we're out of touch!)
I really really really really really really like you
And I want you. Do you want me? Do you want me too?

(YEAAAAAAH!) I really really really really really really like you
And I want you. Do you want me? Do you want me too? (Yeah, I need to tell you something)
I really really really really really really like you (Oh, yeah!)
And I want you. Do you want me? Do you want me too?

ALL I HAVE TO DO IS DREAM by Everly Brothers

Dream, dream, dream, dream
Dream, dream, dream, dream

When I want you in my arms
When I want you and all your charms
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Dream, dream, dream, dream

When I feel blue in the night
And I need you to hold me tight
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Dream

I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine
Anytime night or day
Only trouble is, gee whiz
Im dreamin my life away

I need you so that I could die
I love you so and that is why
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Dream, dream, dream, dream, dream

I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine
Anytime night or day
Only trouble is, gee whiz
Im dreamin my life away

I need you so that I could die
I love you so and that is why
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Dream, dream, dream, dream
Dream, dream, dream, dream

superman (it's not easy)

I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naïve
I'm just out to find
The better part of me

I'm more than a bird,
I'm more than a plane
I'm more than some pretty face beside a train
It's not easy to be me

I wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
'Bout a home I'll never see

It may sound absurd but don't be naïve
Even heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed but won’t you concede
Even Heroes have the right to dream
And it's not easy to be me

Up, up and away, away from me
Well, it's alright
You can all sleep sound tonight
I'm not crazy or anything

I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naïve
Men weren't meant to ride
With clouds between their knees

I'm only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me
Inside of me, inside of me [2x]

I’m only a man in a funny red sheet
I’m only a man looking for her dream
I’m only a man in a funny red sheet
It's not easy.
It's not easy to be me.

I'm staring out into the night,
Trying to hide the pain.
I'm going to the place where love
And feeling good don't ever cost a thing.
And the pain you feel's a different kind of pain.

Well I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old,
So I'm going home.
Well I'm going home.

The miles are getting longer, it seems,
The closer I get to you.
I've not always been the best man or friend for you.
But your love remains true.
And I don't know why.
You always seem to give me another try.

So I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old,

Be careful what you wish for,
'Cause you just might get it all.
You just might get it all,
And then some you don't want.
Be careful what you wish for,
'Cause you just might get it all.
You just might get it all, yeah.

Oh, well I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.

I said these places and these faces are getting old,
So I'm going home.
I'm going home.

Dance floor chillin' while I hold two cups
Can't stop spilling, cause I'm drunk as fuck
And my song comes on, and the club goes nuts

Running around, and doing all these shows
Round the whole globe, I come, and you go girl
And you need to think of it
Just arrive for the night, baby live a bit
With a place to hit, and your pants to zip
We can make this thing a party, are you into it

In this crazy world of choices I've only got a few
Either you're coming with me, or I'm coming with you
Cause I finally found, I finally found you

Finally, finally, finally found you
Finally, finally, finally found
Finally found, I finally found you

You know I'm go get ya, yeah

short love poems

My Valentine

I crave your honesty on this day of love,
L ove you whole-heartedly my sweet dove.
O ut of the blue you shot from the sky,
V ividly, beautifully stunning my eye.
E ver adoring you is what I do best,
Y our smile, your face and all the rest.
O n days like these I truly believe,
U and I are meant to be!

love

Love is more time to share.
It’s really when you care.
It’s two people joined.
I was in love with you
before you could drop a coin.
It’s a sense of trust,
but not enough lust
It’s a commitment to be there,
but would you always be there
to share and care?

monique

One Perfect Rose

A single flower he sent me ,since we met
all tenderly his messenger he chose;
deep-hearted, pure with scented dew
still wet
one perfect rose.
I knew the language of the flower
"my fragile leaves ,it said
his heart enclose"
love long has taken for his locket
one perfect rose.
Why is it no one ever sent me yet
one perfect limousine,
do you suppose?
Ah, no it’s always just my luck to get
one perfect rose

monia jackson

baby brow eyes

Baby brown eyes your eyes so brown,
hair so light,
you make the sun shine bright,
your eyes bring many warm things.
I love you baby girl
for always when you were born
and came in our lives,
you are the baby brown eyes
that we love day or night,
we love you always.

One good try

For so long, I’ve had my eye on this girl
She's the most beautiful woman in the world

If that’s what you’re thinking, give it an attempt
Don’t be so scared that she would resent

why not give it one good try?
just to let her know you’re alive

the smile that cleanses my soul
the eyes that stop time with a single glance
the touch of love from his hands

this special time
all I can do is pray
for you to be my Valentine

Night is falling my heart is calling
I feel so lonely I need you only

I’ll take you instead

break up on valentines

On Valentines we broke up
Your friends said it was wrong
But you didn't believe them
Until you heard our song
Maybe you will love me
like I loved you
But I won't give you another chance
Because I won't know if it's really true

Lana

Hearts and flowers

Hearts and flowers on Valentine’s day.
heart shaped candy, help me say:
I Love you in a special way,
because love is the reason for Valentine’s day.
Valentine’s day is a special time
for songs to sing
and poems that rhyme,
a happy time for everyone.
I’m so glad you're a friend of mine

such a short time

When I first saw your face I knew you were mine
We have both grown to love each other in such a short time
you know I’ve been looking for you all my life
for the day when I become your wife
you have given me security and love
which I’ve only ever dreamed of
I know there is a heaven and dreams do come true
someone up there loves me
because they sent me
YOU

LOVE MESSAGES

I wish God gives me birth hundred times only to be your lover forever.
I wish to die before you, so that I can write your name on each star. Let the world see you mean the world to me.
I would have been incomplete without your love; it’s you who makes me whole.
I’m happy to be your Valentine, but not as happy as I am to have you as my Girlfriend every day.
If I had to choose whether to breathe or to love you, I would use my last breath to tell you that… I love you.
If I have life, it should be with you, if I have to die, I should die before you!
If I tried to write all the things that I like about you in this card, I’d run out of room. Here are a few of my favorite things: (write all the things you like about her).
If staying in your heart is a prison, I would accept to be sentenced for life.
If you ask me how much I love you, count the stars! It is as countless and endless like them!
If you ask me when shall I stop loving you, ask my heart when will it stop beating?
I’m glad you have me as your boyfriend, because now I know you’ll be loved the way you should be for Valentine’s Day.
It is love when we think about each other every single moment despite being miles apart. We resides in each other’s heart.
It’s a long day but I know I will be fine with your touching care, Be there when I come back because I feel so lost when you are not around.
Last night I matched every star with a reason for loving you. I ran out of stars because my love is countless.
Let these words touch your eyes, let these feelings touch your soul; let this love touch your heart.
Life without your love is like a tree without any fruit.
Like everybody who is not in love, he thought one chose the person to be loved after endless deliberations and on the basis of particular qualities or advantages. – Marcel Proust
Love is a state of mind which has nothing to do with the mind. – Bob Phillips
Love is sweet when it is new and sweeter when it is true and sweetest when it is with you, you seduce me, so I’m falling into you can’t you see.
Love one another and you will be happy. It’s as simple and as difficult as that. – Michael Leunig
Loving you is like breathing-so essential and important to remain alive.
Loving you is the best thing that has ever happened to me.

LOVE IS YOU

My days seem to be as dark as night without you. Your love brings sunlight to my heart- my sweetheart.
My heart beats taking your name and it beats because you stay there.
My Love is sweet when it is new, sweeter when it is true and sweetest when it’s with you. I love you.
Our love is like a romance movie, but the best part is that it never ends. Happy Valentine’s day!
Small things that you do makes my heart fill with joys.
Sometimes I laugh even when there is no around thinking about all the funny things that you do just to make me happy. Love you for being there always.
Thank you for letting me have such a wonderful person as my Valentine this year.
The first time you touched me, I felt love and even now the feeling of anxiety and excitement remains the same when you come close to me. The love for you grows with every passing moment.
The greatest tragedy of life is not that men perish,but that they cease to love.
The reassuring smile on your lips, touch of your hands, and the little ways in which you make me happy is what keeps me alive everyday.
The way you look at me when I sit in front of the mirror… your smile when I catch you unaware noticing me… these small things show how much you love me more than any words can express.
The way you wake me up and hold me in your arms every morning makes for a great start of my day, and I know you will always make me feel this special no matter how much we grow old.
There’s nothing I’d rather do this Valentine’s Day than be with you. There’s nothing I’d rather be than your boyfriend.
Think of my love like a diamond ring, – precious, rare and gorgeous, that glorifies your life forever.
Thousands may come in your life and thousands may go, but there will be one person on earth who can give away life for you-and that’s me!
Times have changed but your love has remained the same since the time we have been dating. I love you so much.
True love is difficult to find, great to have, easy to lose, but hard to forget, I love you forever.
Valentine’s Day makes me stop to realize how awesome it is to be going out with you.
Valentine’s Day is much more fun when I get to spend it with you.
We picture love as heart-shaped because we do not know the shape of the soul.
When I die. I want to go to heaven, to put your name on a star. Let all the angels see, how much you mean to me.
When I think of you, Roses of red grow in my heart. Every time I see you smile, they bloom and make me happy.
When you come to me with your hair all messed up, I love you. When you come to me with chocolate all over your lips, I love you. When you crack silly jokes with me, I love you. I love you because you join me in my weirdness. Thanks for being my silly soul mate. Love you forever!
Whether Valentine’s Day or not, I can’t think of anyone I would rather spend a day with. Happy Valentine’s Day.
Who says we are miles apart? I still see you as I close my eyes.
Without your love I can do nothing, with your love there is nothing I can’t do.
You always know exactly how I feel and you are always there to make me feel alright when I stay far away from you… It is love that keep the connection between us so strong.
You are as warm as sunshine. As sweet as sugar, as beautiful as flower, as pure as my love for you-I love you!
You are my destination in life, also the way to reach to it. Wish to spend this lovely journey with you.
You are my first thought when I wake up; you are my last thought when I fall asleep.
You are not mine, but still I don’t know why I am afraid of losing you.
You are sweeter than chocolate and more beautiful than a rose.
You are the best gift I could ever ask to have for Valentine’s Day!
You are the sun in my days, the moon in my nights, the waves in my ocean, and the life in my life.
You deserve to be loved on Valentine’s Day. I’ll make sure you get what you deserve.
You might mean to be a no one for the world, but for someone, you mean the whole world.
Your eyes lit up my world, your smile brightened my sky.
Your love help me find happiness in the most unexpected ways… life with you has been sheer bliss.
Your love lightens up my path and shows me the way to move forward.
Your love makes my life stronger and happier – be mine forever.

A SPECIAL VALENTINE PRAYER

My powerful and glorious and holy God, with everything I have and everything I am in Christ, I come before Your Throne to intercede on behalf of marriages. Lord, I come before You with complete confidence because I know with irrefutable certainty that I am praying according to Your will. Father, You are PRO-MARRIAGE. You are FOR US. And if You are for us, who indeed can be against us? Lord, Your enemy the devil is waging full scale war on the marriages of Your own children. Havoc resides in the earthly house of God. Our churches will only be as strong as the families that inhabit them.
If not for Your Spirit living within us, Satan�s psychological warfare would be almost too much to bear and his lies too sly to discern. We cry out to You, Lord! I ask You to rise from Your Throne in behalf of each of our homes and marriages and cause our enemies to scatter violently. Open our eyes to the deceit of the enemy that tempts spouses to think they need something � someone � brand new. Help them to see that it would be an unending cycle of newness always wearing off and demanding something deeper to sustain it. Renew us, Lord! You created marriage and You alone can sustain it. Breathe fresh life into each of our marriages. You are a master at resurrection life. Raise marriages from the dead, O Lord! Reclaim those that have given up. Put a holy tenacity in them to refuse to let go. Give each spouse eyes only for the other. Cause each husband to thrill to the touch of his wife. Cause each wife to thrill to the touch of her husband. Renew a fiery passion in their hearts toward one another. Fill each wife with the desire and obedience to treat her man like he�s the real man You created him to be. Forgive us our serious trespasses of dishonoring or belittling our spouses in any way. Forgive us for making our men secondary priorities to our children. Help us to see that the best thing we could ever do for our children is to have a wonderful relationship with their father.
Cause each man to be lavish in his demonstrations of love toward his wife. Open his eyes to see how hard she works and how badly she needs his blessing. In turn, open her eyes to the pressures that fall daily upon her man and enable her to love him in a way that soothes and relieves him. CLAIM OUR HOMES AND OUR MARRIAGES, LORD! I know You can perform miracles over the worst of marriages. You performed countless wonders over my own. Lord, in Jesus� Name, You bring to a stunning halt every weapon forged against each couple and every scheme the enemy may already have under way. Bind every single person and subsequent action that may be coming against one of these marriages. Halt any hint of extra-marital flirtation or fantasy in the powerful Name of Jesus. Cause any other person that has become dangerously attractive to now become utterly repulsive to them. Empower every person at risk to flee for his or her life from sexual temptation and immorality. Make each spouse TRUE, Lord, in heart, soul, and mind.
God, I lift this to You with great urgency and fervency. Enough is enough! Enough Christian marriages have disintegrated! I don�t just pray for couples to stay together. I pray for them to LOVE staying together. I pray for the return of laughter, flirtation, desire, and life-long commitment. Interrupt mediocrity with fresh fire. We are all weak in our natural selves, Lord, and we know we�ll never have perfect marriages and homes but we are fully capable in Your sovereign power to have good ones. Healthy ones. FUN ONES. L-A-S-T-I-N-G ONES! Lord, the beauty of praying in Your will is knowing that every single couple who desires and receives it can have it. Every couple can be healed. Every couple can be in love again. Every family can be whole if they are willing. Make them willing! I offer this intercession with the absolute belief that You initiated it, Lord. You do not waste time nor effort. If You prompted it, You meant to answer it. Now, compassionate and wonderful Father, do what only You can do. Out-do everything we ask. Do more than we could think to request so that Your great Name can be magnified above all else. I set before You every marriage represented by those who read this entry. Cause every couple to have a glorious Head-on collision with You, Lord, the Maker of Heaven and Earth. Nothing is too difficult for You. My prayers are unmistakably heard and my thanks already appropriate because I offer each of these petitions in the incomparable and delivering Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

PLEASE HEAL MY WOUNDED HEART

Dear God, please help me heal From grief, loss and the pain of love gone wrong. Let me leave deep heartache it in my past. And be whole and happy again. In my fear of never finding true love.
I have been needy and overly-anxious, Desperate and too willing to settle. Please calm the need in me that leads to unwise choices. Fill the emptiness in my heart that makes me crave unhealthy love. Restore my faith in love and relationships And grant me the ability to love myself fully. And to feel lovable and wanted from within. Let the healing process must begin inside my heart.

soulmate prayer

Dear God, Loving Essence of all there is. Please fill me with your sacred presence.
I ask for your Love and Guidance And for your blessings
As I explore the deep reaches of my heart I ask for you assistance
In releasing that which stands in the way of true love.
My heart is pure; my intentions clear. lease bring to me my most perfect partner.
I seek a partner who enhances me by his/her very being.
who brings more love, joy, peace and prosperity to my life,
Who I can love fully and who can fully receive my love,
Who loves, honors and cherishes me completely, and always.
May my heart be open and my head be clear.
May my life be ready to welcome True love.
May I be embraced in a circle of your love
An uplifted by your grace. And so it is.

CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Mr. Willy Wonka, the eccentric owner of the greatest chocolate factory in the world, has decided to open the doors of his factory to five lucky children and their parents. In order to choose who will enter the factory, Mr. Wonka devises a plan to hide five golden tickets beneath the wrappers of his famous chocolate bars. The search for the five golden tickets is fast and furious. Augustus Gloop, a corpulent child whose only hobby is eating, unwraps the first ticket, for which his town throws him a parade. Veruca Salt, an insufferable brat, receives the next ticket from her father, who had employed his entire factory of peanut shellers to unwrap chocolate bars until they found a ticket. Violet Beauregarde discovers the third ticket while taking a break from setting a world record in gum chewing. The fourth ticket goes to Mike Teavee, who, as his name implies, cares only about television.

Charlie Bucket, the unsuspecting hero of the book, defies all odds in claiming the fifth and final ticket. A poor but virtuous boy, Charlie lives in a tiny house with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Bucket, and all four of his grandparents. His grandparents share the only bed in the house, located in the only bedroom, and Charlie and his parents sleep on mattresses on the floor. Charlie gets three sparse meals a day, which is hardly enough to nourish a growing boy, As a result, he is almost sickly thin. Once a year, on his birthday, Charlie gets one bar of Wonka chocolate, which he savors over many months. The Bucket family’s circumstances become all the more dire when Mr. Bucket loses his job. But a tremendous stroke of luck befalls Charlie when he spots a raggedy dollar bill buried in the snow. He decides to use a little of the money to buy himself some chocolate before turning the rest over to his mother. After inhaling the first bar of chocolate, Charlie decides to buy just one more and within the wrapping finds the fifth golden ticket. He is not a moment too soon: the next day is the date Mr. Wonka has set for his guests to enter the factory.
Neither Mr. nor Mrs. Bucket can accompany Charlie to the factory. Mr. Bucket must search for work to put food on the table and Mrs. Bucket must care for the invalided grandparents. Magically, Charlie’s oldest and most beloved grandparent, Grandpa Joe, springs out of bed for the first time in decades. Charlie’s lucky find has transformed him into an energetic and almost childlike being. Grandpa Joe and Charlie set out on their adventure.
In the factory, Charlie and Grandpa Joe marvel at the unbelievable sights, sounds, and especially smells of the factory. Whereas they are grateful toward and respectful of Mr. Wonka and his factory, the other four children succumb to their own character flaws. Accordingly, they are ejected from the factory in mysterious and painful fashions. Augustus Gloop falls into the hot chocolate river—while attempting to drink it—and is sucked up by one of the many pipes. Veruca Salt is determined to be a “bad nut” by nut-judging squirrels who throw her out with the trash. Violet Beauregarde impetuously grabs an experimental piece of gum and chews herself into a giant blueberry. She is consequently removed from the factory. With the hope of being on his beloved television, Mike Teavee shrinks himself, and his father has to carry him out in his breast pocket. During each child’s fiasco, Mr. Wonka alienates the parents with his nonchalant reaction to the child’s seeming demise. He remains steadfast in his belief that everything will work out in the end.
After each child’s trial, the Oompa-Loompas beat drums and sing a moralizing song about the downfalls of greedy, spoiled children. When only Charlie remains, Willy Wonka turns to him and congratulates him for winning. The entire day has been another contest, the prize for which is the entire chocolate factory, which Charlie has just won. Charlie, Grandpa Joe, and Mr. Wonka enter the great glass elevator, which explodes through the roof of the factory and crashes down through the roof of Charlie’s house, where they collect the rest of the Bucket family.

INDIGO

The Indigo Child and How to Recognize One

The indigo child is here to bring us closer to our true essence. We think our minds are separate because of our bodies. These children know differently. A true indigo travels comfortably between worlds usually at night when we think they're asleep.
Our thoughts and feelings are not our own. The truth is, we have forgotten who we are and how our minds are connected to each other. indigo's remember and have an inner knowing that far exceeds our psychic abilities.
Having said this. Not all children born since about 1980 are indigos. Many brought major challenges from previous lifetimes they're still working through. But, once the lessons are learned and the patterns forgiven, they will join the ranks of the cosmic caring indigo.
"The intricate inner workings of our DNA are changing...Brain-wave relationships are spontaneously moving into higher vibrational patterning as the electromagnetic fields within our DNA. Because of this, our brains are working together as cohesive units of consciousness. That means humanity is becoming more aware and moving toward becoming sentient beings – aware of everything all at once all of the time.” Conversations with the Children of Now, Meg Blackburn Losey

So what happened to cause us to lose touch with our inner knowing?
Put simply, we began to "think" instead of "feel," thousands of years ago. Our ability to tap into the collective consciousness is still within us. We’ve just forgotten how to use it. The ego became our ruler holding us back by relying on memories to make our decisions. With past as our guide, we gave our power to the ego, which made us fearful. The intellect caused us to lose our connection to the collective consciousness, making us feel alone.
Some adults have been able to gain at least a part of this former knowing. They in turn are giving birth to children who remember how the collective consciousness works and they are using it. The indigo offspring is there descendant.
"The conclusion of our book was that today’s children are different – more challenging, more intelligent, more confrontational, more intuitive, more spiritual, and in some cases even more violent – from any generation we have yet seen. This calls for a new and different way of parenting and schooling – outside of the old ways." The Care and Feeding of Your Indigo Children, Doreen Virtue

Sprouted seeds can be over 30 times more nutritious than the parent plants. Sprouts are delicious, very economical and fun.

Where did the term “Indigo Child” come from?
Nancy Ann Tappe, a teacher and counselor, studied the human auric field, otherwise known as their electromagnetic field. The field surrounds every living thing. She even wrote a book about it called "Understanding Your Life Through Color."
Through colors in the aura, she instituted a shockingly accurate and revealing way to psychologically profile a person using her new auric color method. The signs of an indigo child actually began even as early as in the 1950s with a few people. What she noticed was that 80 percent of the children born after 1980 had a new deep blue colored auric field. She called this new color "indigo".

What are the behavioral patterns of Indigos?

They are born feeling and knowing they are special and should be revered.
An indigo knows they belong here as they are and expect you to realize it as well.
These children are more confident and have a higher sense of self-worth.
Absolute authority, the kind with no choices, negotiation, or input from them does not sit well. The educational system is a good example.
Some of the rules we so carefully followed as children seem silly to them and they fight them.
Rigid ritualistic systems are considered archaic to an indigo child. They feel everything should be given creative thought.
They are insightful and often have a better idea of method then what has been in place for years. This makes them seem like "system busters."
Adults often view an indigo as anti-social unless they are with other indigos. Often they feel lost and misunderstood, which causes them to go within.
The old control methods like, "Wait till your father gets home," have no affect on these children.
The fulfillment of their personal needs is important to them, and they will let you know.

Are you or your children an indigo?
These are the characteristics of an indigo as stated in The Care and Feeding of Your Indigo Child:

Strong willed
Born in 1978 or later
Headstrong
Creative, with an artistic flair for music, jewelry making, poetry, etc.
Prone to addictions
An "old soul" as if they’re 13 going on 43
Intuitive or psychic, possibly with a history of seeing angels or deceased people
An isolationist, either through aggressive acting-out, or through fragile introversion
Independent and proud, even if they’re constantly asking you for money
Possess a deep desire to help the world in a big way
Wavers between low self-esteem and grandiosity
Bores easily
Has probably been diagnosed as having ADD or ADHD
Prone to insomnia, restless sleep, nightmares, or difficulty/fear of falling asleep
Has a history of depression, or even suicidal thoughts or attempts
Looks for real, deep, and lasting friendships
Easily bonds with plants or animals.

If you possess 14 or more of these traits you are an indigo. If 11 to 13, you’re probably an indigo in training. If you’re an adult with these traits you could be a "lightworker."

Dehydrated food is a healthy snack for children. The Excaliber is the one I use, and I love it. Active enzymes are kept alive through proper temperature control.

The effects of Ritalin and other drugs on an indigos diagnosed with ADD or ADHD
"Indigo Children who take Ritlin or other psychotropic drugs soon lose touch with their intuition, psychic abilities, and warrior personality. These children were sent to Earth with these three spiritual gifts for the express purpose of cleaning up our planet, environmentally and socially." Care and Feeding of Your Indigo Child, Doreen Virtue
Suppressive drugs such as Ritlin cause an indigo child to forget their lives purpose, which only delays what HAS to change on our earth for us to continue living on it.
One of the reasons an indigo, crystal or rainbow child has trouble sleeping is because wayward spirits are attracted to them. These spirits know these children can see and sense them. This makes them more irritable and restless in school. The schools and doctors decide from this they are ADHD or ADD.

So what would an ideal Indigo's world look like?
Indigos have a job to do on this planet, and they WILL do it. It’s their job to help eliminate the values of the world age that just passed in 2012, and replace them with the values of the new world age. They take their job very seriously, even if they are not aware of it. They are preparing the world for the new values of "love, brotherhood, unity and integrity." Indigo prophecies talk about how these special children are the forerunners to dramatically changing the word for the next Great Cycle change in the area of 2012. Forgiveness towards others is a key element to help heal the earth. An indigo’s world would be:

Free from all harsh chemicals.
Food would be organically grown, locally grown, fresh with minimal processing and refining.
Education would be for all and children would have a much greater say in their educational future and curriculum.
Family would mean whom you are with at that time, and be inclusive to a greater circle of people.
Our political system would be truly for the greater good of all, much more democratic, even socialist.
All countries and all people would work together to better the lives on the entire planet.
Nature and her needs would come first including clean air and soil.
Children would be treated with respect and consulted on any decisions that would affect them.
All people would be equal no matter what their race, color, sex, or creed.

By weight, blue green algae is the most nutritious and complete whole foods on the planet. It has the highest useable protein of any food at between 50-70 percent. Take algae for energy, mental clarity, and to satisfy your hunger between meals.

Conclusion:
We’ve drugged them, punished them, denied them, but they still will not conform to "our" views of what a model child should be. Why? Many indigos can see their futures and know what we are trying to teach them is useless and irrelevant.
An indigo has an enormous amount of tenacity and willpower. Through their sensitivity to chemicals, processed foods, and authority, they are showing us what has to change in our world. They're sensitive to so many things. An indigo child will tell you that we should not be using these detrimental chemicals if we truly loved our earth and each other.
"Indigo children are "natural children in an unnatural world."...their immune systems (physically and emotionally) aren’t able to assimilate the earthly toxins in food, water, air, toiletries, cleaning supplies, artificial lighting, and relationships. Scientists have discovered huge links between ADHD and environmental toxins.” The Care and Feeding of Indigo Children, Doreen Virtue.

SAJIAN KHAS SUMUT

Ikan Mas Arsik: Bahan Olahan Kuliner Legendaris Khas Sumatera Utara

Danau Toba / Toba Lake

Sumatera Utara selain dikenal memiliki kekayaan seni-budaya serta alamnya, juga ada ragam kuliner yang patut Anda cicipi. Nah, salah satu hidangan utama khas Sumatra Utara adalah ikan mas arsik. Bagi masyarakat Batak, sajian olahan ikan ini ternyata bukan sekedar sajian penikmat lidah semata karena ikan mas arsik lekat dengan kehidupan budaya masyarakat yang bermukim di Pulau Samosir dan pinggiran Danau Toba.

Dalam bahasa setempat ikan mas arsik dikenal dengan nama dekke na niarsik. Darinya diolah sajian wajib setiap rumah tangga masyarakat Batak baik yang masih tinggal di kampung halaman maupun yang sudah merantau. Bahkan, bagi seorang wanita Batak dikatakan pandai memasak apabila bisa memasak ikan mas arsik dan layak dihidangkan kepada tamu.

Bagi masyarakat Batak hidangan ini bukan sekedar kuliner belaka namun memiliki nilai tradisi yang kuat. Ikan mas arsik adalah media persembahan bagi nenek moyang dan anggota keluarga yang sudah meninggal. Tidak hanya itu, ikan mas arsik juga merupakan bentuk ungkapan syukur kepada Tuhan Yang Maha Esa.

Menurut filosofi adat Batak, ikan mas merupakan dekke sitio-tio dan dekke simudur-udur. Ikan ini melambangkan kemurnian hidup dan panjang umur. Pemaknaan ini dapat dilihat dari habitat ikan mas yang hidup di air tawar dan memiliki tubuh yang panjang. Ikan ini juga melambangkan kehidupan damai turun temurun seperti halnya ikan mas yang hidup bergerombol (marudur-udur).

Dalam setiap upacara adat Batak, ikan mas arsik yang sudah matang disajikan dalam bentuk memanjang seperti berenang. Jumlah ikan mas yang disajikan dalam setiap peristiwa adat berbeda-beda, satu ekor untuk untuk pasangan yang baru menikah, tiga ekor disajikan untuk pasangan yang baru memiliki anak, lima ekor disajikan untuk pasangan yang memiliki cucu, dan tujuh ekor disajikan untuk pemimpin masyarakat Batak.

Ikan mas arsik merupakan jenis ikan yang mudah ditemui di perairan air tawar. Oleh karena itu, tidak heran jika masyarakat Batak mudah mendapatkan ikan ini karena secara geografis mereka bermukim di pinggir danau air tawar yaitu Danau Toba.

Saat ini untuk konsumsi biasa keberadaan ikan mas arsik digantikan dengan ikan tawar jenis lain seperti ikan tongkol, ikan kembung, ikan kakap, dan lainnya. Akan tetapi, demi keperluan adat maka ikan yang digunakan haruslah ikan mas arsik.

Ikan mas arsik ini diolah dengan sama sekali tidak menggunakan minyak goreng. Bumbu tidak ditumis tetapi hanya direbus saja. Bumbu masak yang digunakan pun hanya tumbuh di daerah pegunungan Toba Samosir dan Tapanuli Utara, Sumatera utara.

Ikan mas arsik memiliki rasa yang nikmat, bagaimana tidak, ikan ini diramu menggunakan banyak bumbu dan rempah, yaitu: jeruk nipis, sere, bawang batak, daun singkong atau kacang panjang untuk uram-uramnya, asam gelugur, bunga rias (kecombrang), cabai merah, cabai rawit, bawang merah dan bawang putih, andaliman, kemiri, jahe, lengkuas, kunyit, daun salam, dan daun jeruk serta garam.

Masakan yang juga dikenal sebagai ikan mas bumbu kuning ini istimewa karena tidak mengandung MSG. Rasa unik masakan ini berupa perpaduan antara rasa asin, asam-kecut dan pedas selain berasal dari campuran bahan, bumbu dan rempah, juga berasal bumbu khas batak yaitu andaliman (Zanthoxylum Acanthopodium DC). Andaliman memiliki aroma khas pedas getir yang membuat lidah bergetar jika langsung dimakan tanpa dimasak. Menurut penelitian, Andaliman memiliki khasiat sebagai anti mikroba dan antioksidan. Selain itu, ekstrak buah andaliman juga kaya akan vitamin C dan E yang berguna untuk meningkatkan daya tahan tubuh.

Proses memasak ikan mas arsik terbilang mudah. Setelah ikan dibersihkan lalu dimasukkan sebagian kacang panjang dan bawang batak di perut ikan mas. Berikutnya menghaluskan racikan dari cabai merah, cabai rawit, bawang merah dan bawang putih, andaliman, jahe, lengkuas, dan kunyit. Tata sisa kacang panjang, lengkuas potongan, sereh utuh dan sebagian asam galugur di dasar kuali. Setelah itu, masukkan bumbu yang sudah dihaluskan ke dalam kuali dan masukkan air sampai memenuhi 3/4 tinggi kuali lalu masak sampai air mendidih. Masukkan ikan di atas bahan dan bumbu yang sudah dimasak terlebih dahulu. Beri garam sesuai selera dan air jeruk nipis. Masak dengan api sedang selama kurang lebih 20 menit. Saat memasak, tutup kulai dengan tutup panci agar bumbu lebih meresap. Setelah air sedikit mengering, tata potongan kacang panjang di atas tumpukkan ikan. Masak hingga kuah hampir habis dan semua bahan matang. Setelah itu pindahkan ke piring hidangan.

Ikan mas arsik cocok disantap dengan nasi putih hangat. Saat Anda berkunjung ke Sumatera Utara, sempatkan mencicipi kuliner legendaris ini. Apabila Anda memiliki sahabat orang batak mengapa tidak meminta untuk memasakkan ikan mas arsik saat bertandang ke rumahnya.

Kue keranjang atau nian gao adalah sejenis puding tradisional China yang terbuat dari beras ketan, tepung gandum, garam, air, dan gula. Warna gula yang digunakan untuk membuat penganan ini menentukan warnanya (putih atau cokelat). Nian gao lebih populer di China bagian timur seperti Jiangsu, Zhejiang, dan Shanghai, karena pengucapan katanya sama dengan "tahun yang lebih sejahtera".

TRADISI PERNIKAHAN TIONGHOA

Tradisi Tea Pai Dalam Rangkaian Pernikahan Adat Tionghoa

Tea Pai merupakan salah satu rangkaian acara yang sering diadakan dalam pernikahan adat Tionghoa (chinese wedding) untuk menghormati orang yang lebih tua. Dalam beberapa kesempatan, tradisi penyuguhan teh di beberapa daerah sangatlah berbeda karena bisa tergantung dari kebiasaan suku dan adat tradisi masing-masing.

Acara Tea Pai (Kong Cha; biasanya juga disebut morning ceremony) biasanya diikuti oleh keluarga kedua mempelai yang sudah menikah, seperti orang tua, paman/bibi, saudara kandung, sepupu dan keponakan (yang dituakan) atau setidaknya yang sudah pernah menikah; meski karena pasangannya sudah bercerai (menjadi janda/duda), meninggal atau sakit (sampai tidak bisa ikut acaranya; jadi yang bisa ikut, duduk sendirian). Kakak-kakak dari kedua keluarga mempelai yang belum menikah tidak diperbolehkan untuk mengikuti acara Tea Pai ini. Hal ini juga berlaku sama jika ada adik-adik dari keluarga mempelai yang sudah menikah, juga tidak diperbolehkan mengikuti prosesi Tea Pai.

Dalam prosesi Tea Pai ini, sebagai urutan pertama, mempelai mempersilahkan orang yang lebih tua untuk duduk di kursi yang telah disediakan. Setelah duduk, berikan penghormatan dengan cara membungkukkan badan sambil mengepalkan kedua belah tangan. Perlu diingat, khusus untuk orang tua (papa mama) dan kakek nenek (apabila ada) sebaiknya di soja atau kui (berlutut). Mungkin pada agama tertentu yang melarang umatnya untuk berlutut atau menyembah, dapat saja menggunakan cara berdiri sambil sedikit membungkuk badan, tapi kesan penghormatan kepada orang tua jauh berkurang, karena status/derajatnya seperti disamakan dengan paman/bibi, kakak dan saudara-saudara lainnya.

Dalam foto, tampak kedua mempelai sedang mengikuti proses tea pai

Selanjutnya, seseorang (yang telah ditunjuk sebelumnya; pengiring pengantin) membawakan nampan yang berisi dua buah cangkir kecil berisi teh kepada mempelai wanita, jika keluarga yang sedang dilayani adalah keluarga dari pihak wanita. Kemudian barulah mempelai pria mengambil satu persatu cangkir dari nampan tersebut dan diberikan kepada keluarga sembari menyebutkan status orang tersebut, misalnya : Papa, Mama, dan seterusnya. Sebaliknya apabila yang dilayani adalah keluarga mempelai pria, maka yang menyuguhkan cangkir tersebut adalah mempelai wanita. Selain itu, pada umumnya untuk posisi duduk, nenek, ibu, tante ada di kanan; sedangkan kakek, papa, paman di kiri. Hal ini sesuai prinsip Nan Zuo, Ni You (Pria di kiri, Wanita di kanan).

Setelah keluarga yang dilayani selesai meminum teh yang diberikan, mempelai pria mengambil kembali cangkir tersebut satu persatu. Sebagai ucapan terima kasih keluarga terhadap pelayanan yang diberikan oleh kedua mempelai, biasanya keluarga memberikan bingkisan yang berupa uang di dalam angpao merah ataupun perhiasan. Kalau keluarga yang dilayani memberikan hadiah angpao, maka dapat langsung ditaruh di nampan atau di kantongi oleh mempelai pria, sedangkan apabila hadiah berupa kalung, cincin atau perhiasan sejenisnya, maka nampan tersebut dapat dikembalikan kepada orang yang telah ditunjuk sebelumnya lalu keluarga akan segera memasangkan perhiasan tersebut kepada mempelai.

Terkadang pada adat-adat tertentu untuk acara tea pai ini, pengantin wanita biasanya memberikan satu set handuk (handuk badan dan handuk muka) kepada orang-orang yang telah disuguhkan teh sebagai ucapan terima kasih. Ini juga realtif (bisa ada atau tidak) dan sangat bergantung pada persiapan kesepakatan acara sebelumnya. Setelah selesai, anggota keluarga yang disuguhkan teh kembali di kursinya, dan kedua mempelai memberikan salam penghormatan kembali seperti diawal acara.

Angpao pernikahan; biasanya diberikan para tamu undangan ataupun keluarga dekat mempelai

Jadi selain anggota keluarga inti, biasanya ‘hadiah’ pernikahan dapat diberikan pada waktu menulis nama di daftar hadir pada saat waktu pernikahannnya, memberikan secara langsung pada saat akan jabat tangan dengan mempelainya, atau bisa memberikan pada saat proses Tea Pai, tapi sebelum/sesudah prosesi acaranya berlangsung. Mengenai hadiah/kado pernikahan, orang-orang pada zaman dahulu biasanya memberikan kain mahal, arak (anggur) pernikahan, peralatan rumah tangga, bantal tidur, dan sebagainya. Lalu lama kelamaan berkembang, hingga di era sekarang rata-rata para tamu undangan biasanya hanya memberikan Angpao sebagai sebuah cara yang simple. Menarik memang, karena tradisi memberikan Angpao pernikahan ini juga diadopsi oleh masyarakat non Tionghoa pada pesta pernikahan mereka.

AURORA

Aurora

Aurora adalah sebuah fenomena alam yang menyerupai pancaran cahaya yang menyala dan menari2 di langit yang diakibatkan oleh interaksi antara medan magnetik yang dimiliki oleh sebuah planet dengan partikel bermuatan yang dipancarkan oleh matahari. Dalam hal ini medan magnetik bumi ada di kutub utara dan kutub selatan. Fenomena yang terjadi di kutub utara ini dinamai Aurora Borealis sedangkan yang terjadi di kutub selatan yaitu Aurora Australis. Bukan berarti di tengah2 kutub kejadiannya melainkan biasanya terjadi di lingkar terluar lintang kutub (Arctic Circle). Aurora Borealis bisanya dapat dilihat pada malam hari mulai bulan October sampai Maret sedangkan Aurora Astralis mulai bulan Mei -Agustus. Kemungkinan terbesar untuk melihat Aurora borealis ini ada di daratan yg dekat dengan kutub utara sedangkan Aurora Australis bisa dilihat di New Zealand ataupun Chile namun kecil sekali kesempatannya karena masih jauh dari linkar luar kutub selatan. Sebenarnya Aurora ini terjadi baik siang maupun malam, namun penampakannya hanya bisa dilihat di malam hari ketika matahari sudah terbenam sepenuhnya, karena kalau tidak akan kalah sama cahaya matahari.
Berikut tips2 untuk melihat penampakan Aurora Borealis di Iceland khususnya:

Pastikan berada di Iceland pada bulan antara Oktober – Maret (winter). Kalau diluar bulan2 tersebut di Iceland mataharinya tidak benar2 terbenam soalnya.
Download aplikasi seperti Aurora Forecast (Apple store)
Biasanya Aurora Borealis ini sangat aktif pada tanggal bulan baru. Bulan baru artinya dimana ketika bulan tersebut tidak kelihatan. untuk tahu kapan bulan baru tiba bisa klik disini
Awan selama malam hari harus lah clear atau pun fair (sedikit Berawan). kalau lagi badai ataupun mendung tidak akan terlihat meskipin aktifitasnya tinggi diatas sana.
Biasanya malam tersebut sangat lah dingin. Hal ini ada hubungannya dengan keberadaan awan tadi, jika banyak awan biasanya lebih lembab dan menaikan suhu dan sebaliknya jika kering akan menurunkan suhu.
Terus update dengan website ini. Disini kita bisa lihat prediksi level activity yg akan terjadi malam nanti. Level 0 tidak ada aktifitas Aurora. Level 1 artinya aktifitas rendah yg sulit dilihat dengan mata telanjang. Level 2 artinya aktifitas dapat dilihat dengan mata telanjang dan cantik. Level 3 aktifitas yang sangat mengaggumkan. level 4 artinya PENGSAN kalo ngeliat hahaha..
Carilah tempat yang sangat gelap dan jauhi dari gangguan cahaya kota.
Bisanya terjadi mulai pukul 10 malam sampai 2 pagi tergantung pergi bulan apa. Saya waktu itu selalu muncul jam 10.30 bulan Maret awal.
Aktifitas ini bisa jadi sebentar banget 5 menit atau berjam jam tergantung levelnya.
Pastikan camera handal yg sudah di set untuk menangkap Aurora (Tripod, Long Shutter speed variatif dari 5-30 detik, High ISO 800 acceptable atau lebih tinggi, Aperture 2-4). Tidak perlu DSLR kalau aktifitasnya sudah level 3. Intinya trial error lah.

Perlu diingat tips2 diatas hanya berdasarkan pengalaman saya pribadi. Aktifitas Aurora ini intinya tidak bisa diprediksi aplikasi2 atau web weather forecast yg saya berikan fungsinya hanya untuk membantu, tidak bisa dipercaya 100%. Karena pengalaman saya bahwa web forecast menyebutkan kalau malam tidak ada aktifitas Aurora tapi kenyataannya saya bisa lihat atau sebaliknya aplikasi forecast menyebutkan aktifitas tinggi nanti malam tapi saya tidak melihatnya sama sekali. Yang terpenting adalah nikmati perjalanan di Iceland, tanpa melihat Aurora pun Iceland merupakan negara yang tidak bisa saya lupakan keindahannya.
