A BIT OF TOLERANCE FOR PEACE

Tolerance is the ability to give equal importance to the way of being, of thinking and living of others than to our own way of being, thinking and living. If we understand that our beliefs and customs are neither better nor worse than others, but just different, we are respecting others. No need to share an opinion to be able to consider as valid as any other. What is needed is to try to take the place of others.

From every perspective, things are perceived differently. So group analyze a situation, listening to the views of every member of it, we can evaluate it better. Share differences enrich us. Sometimes throughout history we can see examples of people whose ways of acting are born precisely from the lack of respect for others. Pass inconsiderate and unfair attitudes is an indirect way of disrespecting the sufferer. So be tolerant is also defined, to step forward, make a choice for justice and peace.

Tolerance, the willingness to accept something we don’t necessarily agree with, is an ability that can ensure peace and harmony within any given society.

The ambiguity of the word tolerance might seem scary though, because tolerance might implicate accepting the differences of others as if they were our own. Tolerance should help us see that we are not all the same, but that we can agree that we all have a little light inside, enabling us to see into others.

Why then has it been so difficult for humanity to accept the other as himself? Why then has it been so difficult for humanity to accept the other as himself? What happened to Tolerance? Tolerance should not blind us to reality, but merely help us see reality from a different perspective. We wonder why are we constantly seeing what others look like, what they have said and done, and even what colour they are. Why do we then keep searching for where they are from, instead of looking at how they have come up? Tolerance needs to take place somewhere, or chaos is bound to occur. Haven’t we learned that we cannot judge a book by its cover?  Yet, we keep seeing the picture that is lying in front of us instead of looking into the bigger picture. We all have glasses that we put on and take off as many times as we like when we are confronted by different situations.  Why then should we not add tolerance to that and see if our eyesight is not blurry? Tolerance should help us understand all things, without prejudice or predetermined thoughts.

Tolerance has either slowly disappeared or has been exaggerated with time.When compared to the previous generations, our world today is showing tolerance towards things that were not tolerated just a few years ago. Homosexuality, divorce and single parenting could be cited as a few examples, when, on the other hand, notions such as polygamy, slavery and child labor are not tolerated today. Tolerance, would have a different meaning if people from different generations and societies were to come together.

TOLERANCE TODAY!

Though it is undeniable that we are all different from the outside, is it not the same red blood that flows in our veins? The same spirit, which inhabits all of us? Tolerance is not only accepting the differences of others, but also becoming the difference. Some might not necessarily want to shed light on tolerance or humanity, but they have accepted their own differences, as well as the differences of others, either consciously or unconsciously.

Tolerance today could be seen within a group of people from different backgrounds sharing a meal, a bi-racial couple, a multicultural party, multi-religious gatherings or even a bird cleaning a crocodile’s teeth. Religion has been a reason for the diminishing tolerance over the years. However, in many parts of the world, different religions cooperate without paying much attention to their different beliefs. Tolerance is also seen in some parts of the world amongst people from different ethnic groups and backgrounds. It is a notion that is being facilitated through the opening of frontiers for studies, work or leisure. However, even in the information age that we are living in we hear of shootings, bombings and killings all in the name of a certain group of people. We ask ourselves if these acts should be subjugated to tolerance. Should we then tolerate certain things and not others?

TOLERANCE: TO SEE OR NOT TO SEE?

When we will see that we are all the same, maybe then all the hatred and atrocities will come to an end. Maybe if we saw that people from all religions, politics and organizations belong to the human race before belonging to specific groups, we could cultivate tolerance.

If we could see our eyes in those of others, will we then manage to tolerate their actions? Can we manage to see that sometimes the webs we have woven are  a flag waving to surrender or a protection and warning against coming events? Maybe then the webs will hide the differences that might prevent us from being tolerant. How long can we close our eyes to the injustice around the world and watch the world keep turning?. The world was flat at first, then we were told it was round, now it is back to flat with technology. Tolerance will surely make the world a peaceful place to breathe in. We don’t know what we exactly are and yet we trust ourselves to think we know about the world and how it functions. Can we then not trust others to do the same?

Tolerance will help us love more and love has the power to make us feel alive. Let’s vote for a little tolerance in our lives each day for a better future for all!

LEARN HOW TO HANDLE A LOVING DISAPPOINTMENT (WOMEN ONLY)

Any woman who loves with all her heart, at some point in her life has suffered a disappointment in love, and that is very painful when you give all of you in a relationship. All who have been in this situation before, know this pain. I urge people that pass through this time that not always blame others, you might also have some blame on this. The exact and magic formula or antidote to this evil has not been invented yet. Every broken heart is different and probably also the cure for it. But there are premises and tips that many women have been implementing and they have worked on them. This is the collection of the best steps to take away that little pain in the heart.

1. DO NOT OPEN THE WOUND MORE 

As women, we are experts in making the aforementioned is present in our minds, so we dedicate ourselves to listen to songs that remind him or see the text messages he sent to our phones, and why not? to see the gifts he gave us at some time (if these have not been thrown away previously, of course). Big mistake! When we are sad and we hear romantic songs, we are opening the way to our state of mind rather than improves, gets worse. We become melancholic and begin to remember all these beautiful moments that we spent with the referred one.

Solution: Listen to upbeat music that fills you with energy and you won't  remember him. It is better to not hear sad or romantic music for at least one month. But believe it or not listen to this type of songs influences more in increasing our sadness.

2. CRY AND CRY

It is important that after having had a disappointment in love, you give yourself a time to cry,  to relieve you. The heart is not made of  iron and has a right to spill a few tears. The important thing here is to allow a short time relief. Otherwise you will have accumulated all that sadness, that in the end it won't be  good for you. It is not good  to block feelings or emotions, it is preferable to accept them and you'll see that over time they will be erased.

Solution: Find a place where you feel comfortable, and let off steam. If you are one of those that need someone to mourn, then call your mom or your best friend, or finally to whom you are close and ask them to talk with you, that you need to speak with someone, you'll see that the tears will fall easily, and then feel  you've taken a load off. If you prefer to mourn alone, then go to your room and take a time to throw away the sadness crying. Ah! And don't think that crying is a sign of weakness. On the contrary, the one who cries  recognizes her feelings and is not afraid to express them.

3. THE WORLD IS NOT FINISHED WITHOUT HIM

Often, much of the pain we have after a heartbreak, is caused by the thought: "I can not live without him", "My life is worth nothing if I can't have him". And the truth is we can not rely on your partner to be happy, they must be part of our happiness and not the center, not the whole.

Solution: Take away those completely dependent thoughts from us that do not make us free. Do not think he is not the only man, sooner or later you'll find another, but better then different. Do not get stuck in your house, get out and have fun, go to movies, eat something, meet new people, and when you least expect you'll have met another man who catches your attention and interests you.

4. TIME

Believe it or not, as time passes and your mind is on other things, you will notice that the pain is diminishing. If you've had a long relationship or fairly important to you, you will take time to heal the wounds, do not expect results overnight. The important thing is that do not stand with folded hands and put your best to forget and recover the man who broke your heart.

Solution: Take your mind on other things, family, work, school, friends, hobbies preferred. Stay locked in your room will not do much. And above all, be patient, time helps, but when you know how to use to its advantages. Otherwise, it will take years and years and you'll keep thinking about him.

5. STAY AS FRIENDS

It is a big lie that, after having finished the relation, your ex- and you  decide to stay as friends. Except in the case that both already see as such and only have an affection attached. But since this is not the case, avoid to stay as friends and become the confidant of your ex.

Solution: Whatever the reason you  ended the relationship, both have to accept that it's over. And it's wise to take time to form a friendship. Get away from his environment and from him. Otherwise it will be harder to forget him.

6. A NAIL TAKES OUT A NAIL

If you want to get rid of this love sorrow, and better option does not occur to you that to begin going out with another man,  well then, you'd better go dismissing this, because if it is true that in some cases it works so that a nail takes out another nail, in most cases it does not. Do not try to cover a wound, it is better to cure it and let it cicatrice well.

Solution: If you have anyone in your mind you think  can help you to forget your ex, better think about that person, and consider that you are no using him to remind your ex. Think you can get hurt. The best thing to do is distract your mind on other things and enjoy time to yourself, before you get back to start another relationship.

7. TALK TO HIS FRIENDS

You know nothing of him and the first thing you do is talk to his friends to ask how he's doing, whether he is happy or not. Suddenly you find that he is already dating another woman. And again you break into tears. You were quiet until it occurred you to talk to his best friend in search of 'news'.

Solution: Do not be a masochist, love yourself and value your peace. Avoid talking to people who know him and  can tell you something about him, because maybe you can get hurt with what they can say.

Finally, you are not alone, you probably have a lot of people around you who love you and appreciate you. And if it is any consolation, you're not the only one in this world who has or has had a disappointment in love. You can overcome it, and if it did not work this time, do not lose hope that the next one will work. No one said love is easy. Move on!

I hope these tips  are useful  when a relationship  comes to an end, especially for those young  girls who are going through the stage of falling in love and who believe that the world will fall off if they break with their boyfriends. Other tips would be different when there are husband and children involved, which would be material for another article.

Namaste.

UNDERSTANDING BIPOLAR DISORDER

We all have our ups and downs, but, with bipolar disorder, these peaks and valleys are more severe. The symptoms of bipolar disorder can hurt your job and school performance, damage your relationships, and disrupt your daily life. And although it’s treatable, many people don’t recognize the warning signs and get the help they need. Since bipolar disorder tends to worsen without treatment, it’s important to learn what the symptoms look like. Recognizing the problem is the first step to getting better.

WHAT IS BIPOLAR DISORDER

Bipolar disorder (also known as manic depression) causes serious shifts in mood, energy, thinking, and behavior–from the highs of mania on one extreme, to the lows of depression on the other. More than just a fleeting good or bad mood, the cycles of bipolar disorder last for days, weeks, or months. And unlike ordinary mood swings, the mood changes of bipolar disorder are so intense that they interfere with your ability to function.

During a manic episode, a person might impulsively quit a job, charge up huge amounts on credit cards, or feel rested after sleeping two hours. During a depressive episode, the same person might be too tired to get out of bed and full of self-loathing and hopelessness over being unemployed and in debt.

The causes of bipolar disorder aren’t completely understood, but it often runs in families. The first manic or depressive episode of bipolar disorder usually occurs in the teenage years or early adulthood. The symptoms can be subtle and confusing, so many people with bipolar disorder are overlooked or misdiagnosed–resulting in unnecessary suffering. But with proper treatment and support, you can lead a rich and fulfilling life.

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF BIPOLAR DISORDER

Bipolar disorder can look very different in different people. The symptoms vary widely in their pattern, severity, and frequency. Some people are more prone to either mania or depression, while others alternate equally between the two types of episodes. Some have frequent mood disruptions, while others experience only a few over a lifetime. There are four types of mood episodes in bipolar disorder: Mania, Hypomania, Depression, and Mixed Episodes. Each type of bipolar disorder mood episode has a unique set of symptoms

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF THE MANIA

In the Manic phase of bipolar disorder, feelings of heightened energy, creativity, and euphoria are common. People experiencing a manic episode often talk a mile a minute, sleep very little, and are hyperactive. They may also feel like they’re all-powerful, invincible, or destined for greatness. But while Mania feels good at first, it has a tendency to spiral out of control. People often behave recklessly during a manic episode: gambling away savings, engaging in inappropriate sexual activity, or making foolish business investments, for example. They may also become angry, irritable, and aggressive–picking fights, lashing out when others don’t go along with their plans, and blaming anyone who criticizes their behavior. Some people even become delusional or start hearing voices.

HYPOMANIA SYMPTOMS

Hypomania is a less severe form of mania. People in a hypomanic state feel euphoric, energetic, and productive, but they are able to carry on with their day-to-day lives and they never lose touch with reality. To others, it may seem as if people with hypomania are merely in an unusually good mood. However, hypomania can result in bad decisions that harm relationships, careers, and reputations. In addition, hypomania often escalates to full-blown mania or is followed by a major depressive episode.

 SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF BIPOLAR DEPRESSION

In the past, bipolar depression was lumped in with regular depression. But a growing body of research suggests that there are significant differences between the two, especially when it comes to recommended treatments. Most people with bipolar depression are not helped by antidepressants. In fact, there is a risk that antidepressants can make bipolar disorder worse–triggering mania or hypomania, causing rapid cycling between mood states, or interfering with other mood stabilizing drugs. People with bipolar depression also tend to move and speak slowly, sleep a lot, and gain weight. In addition, they are more likely to develop psychotic depression–a condition in which they’ve lost contact with reality–and to experience major disability in work and social functioning.

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF A MIXED EPISODE

A mixed episode of bipolar disorder features symptoms of both mania or hypomania and depression. Common signs of a mixed episode include depression combined with agitation, irritability, anxiety, insomnia, distractibility, and racing thoughts. This combination of high energy and low mood makes for a particularly high risk of suicide.

TREATMENT FOR BIPOLAR DISORDER

If you spot the symptoms of bipolar depression in yourself or someone else, don’t wait to get help. Ignoring the problem won’t make it go away; in fact, it will almost certainly get worse. Living with untreated bipolar disorder can lead to problems in everything from your career to your relationships to your health. Diagnosing the problem as early as possible and getting into treatment can help prevent these complications. If you’re reluctant to seek treatment because you like the way you feel when you’re manic, remember that the energy and euphoria come with a price. Mania and hypomania often turn destructive, hurting you and the people around you.

If you, your child or a family member suffers from bipolar disorder, your understanding and your support can make the difference in the treatment for this disease. Learn about medications for bipolar and how its effectiveness can be increased with a healthy lifestyle and appropriate therapy.

Our experts can help you to take control of the symptoms of the Bipolar Disorder.

THE ENERGY THAT BRINGS EACH DAY OF THE WEEK

Before talking about the energy that brings every day of the week, let's give a brief explanation of the origin of the names -in Spanish- that reference them.

The word comes from septimana week (seven days). The names of the days come from the seven celestial objects that the ancient Greeks saw moving in the sky. The etymology of most days the week has a great relationship with the Roman mythology. The Romans saw a connection between the gods and the night sky that was changing, depending on the day, so they started using naturally the names of their gods for the planets. Those which they could follow along in the sky were the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. The Moon (Selena: moon goddess, known for her love), Mars (Ares: God of War, because of  the red blood ), Mercury (Hermes: god of merchants, messenger of the gods, and  the closest planet to the sun), Jupiter (Zeus: god father, being the second brightest planet), Venus (Aphrodite, goddess of beauty and love, because it was the brightest planet) and Saturn (Cronus: God of Time, being the slowest).

Under Constantine empire and during  much of the Roman Empire, they were named with some changes: The first day of the week by referring to the moon, followed by Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn.

In Spanish the planetary names remain in the five weekdays. These five days whose names end in -es shorthand for saying diesla, Latin word means "day". Thus, Monday comes from the word moon and planetary connection is also apparent with Tuesday (Mars), Wednesday (Mercury), Thursday (Jupiter) and Friday (Venus). However, the words for "Saturday" and "Sunday" in Spanish were not taken using the model of the Roman name. Saturday comes from the Hebrew word, which refers to the "Sabbat", referring to the day of rest (in the Jewish and Christian tradition, God rested on the seventh day of creation). Each day of the week has a special energy which is ideal for certain activities, or on the contrary, it is contraindicated for some tasks. The days are governed by different stars that regulate the strength of that day.

THE ENERGY THAT BRINGS EVERY DAY

There are seven different times to address what to do. You can know when to act and when to postpone decisions.

Each weekday encloses disparate forces, that means a highly positive in one side and terribly negative on the other one. When you know them, you can improve the quality of your life. Do not forget that Seven are the days of the week, cabalistic number because Seven are the scourges of the  Revelation, Seven the wise men of Greece,  Seven are the days that each new phase of the Moon last and Seven are the theological virtues, which face the Seven capital sins.

ACTIVITIES FOR EACH DAY

SUNDAY

On Sundays, especially in the evening, many people feel a certain sense of unease, experience feelings or feel annoyed. Others feel happy to share with loved ones. It is a day to rest and take all the stress of Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday itself.

Stressful activities we have every day, minute, second of the week avoid we have time for us. Sunday is a day to reflect, plan activities for next week.

Every day of the week has, in the esoteric world, a different symbol that carries a mystery. Every day, as mentioned above, is associated with a particular planet and gets a name of some deity of the Roman pantheon although there are more signs that may be associated wisely used.

Each day has its own energy and that can only benefit us in many aspects of life, but it is essential to know how to translate these forces individuals to know how to take advantange of them. Moreover, the 7 'classic' stars: The Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, governing different days of the week and the schedule should be respected to invoke its power. Also, many details can help to harmonize with these gods of heaven: The use of an item, an amulet, perfums and ritual practices.

10 SURPRISING REASONS THAT AGE YOU

While aging is an inevitable part of life, how quickly or well you age depends on many different factors. Although there are some obvious causes of premature aging, there are many seemingly harmless things that can also add on the years. Here are our top 10 surprising things that age you.

SURPRISING  REASON THAT AGES YOU 1:
WATCHING TV

While we all know that spending hours in front of the television is bad for your waistline, you may not know that it can also shorten your lifespan. Researchers from the University of Queensland found that for every hour you watch TV you may shorten your life by as much 22 minutes. Furthermore, research has suggested that watching TV could increase your risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.

SURPRISING REASON THAT AGES YOU 2: DRINKING FROM BOTTLE AND THROUGH STRAWS

You probably know that what you drink can affect your looks, but you may be surprised to hear that how you drink can also influence how well you age. In fact, sucking on straws and drinking out of sports bottles causes the same pursing action –and therefore the same fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth– as smoking. Try drinking directly from the glass whenever you can to help keep the wrinkles at bay.

SURPRISING REASON THAT AGES YOU 3: TOO MUCH OR TOO LITTLE EXERCISE

The benefits of exercise are immeasurable for keeping you looking and feeling young. Not only does a lack of exercise shorten your life and increase risk of obesity and heart disease, but exercise can also keep your brain young by protecting against Alzheimer’s, boosting your mood and leaving you feeling alert and energized. Furthermore, increased blood flow to your skin can help keep your complexion clear, bright and youthful-looking. On the flip side, while we should all make an effort to stay active, too much exercise can cause stiffness in joints and increase risk of arthritis.

SURPRISING REASON THAT AGES YOU 4: CENTRAL HEATING

Many of us spend a fortune on anti-aging skin products, yet we may regularly accelerate skin aging without even being aware of it. The central heating and air conditioning systems that many of us use at home and at work can severely dry out skin, leading to premature aging and wrinkles. To help keep skin youthful and soft, try turning down the heating and wearing more layers to stay warm. Keeping a glass of water in the room can also increase humidity, while wearing a protective face cream can help relieve dryness

SURPRISING REASON THAT AGES YOU  5:
SUGAR
 

Eating too much sugar is clearly bad news for your waistline; however sugar consumption is also up there with sun exposure and smoking when it comes to the major causes of wrinkles. When blood sugar levels are high, a process called glycation occurs which damages the collagen in your skin. Once damaged, the normally springy collagen hardens, leading to wrinkles and sagging.

SURPRISING REASON THAT AGES YOU  6: LISTENING TO AN IPOD

Hearing loss is a common symptom of aging, yet many of us may suffer from diminished hearing early on due to listening to loud music through headphones. While listening to music sparingly and at a moderate volume is unlikely to do you much harm, a study has shown that listening to music on headphones for an hour can temporarily affect people’s hearing, while some researchers have suggested that listening at full volume could put you at risk of permanent damage.

SURPRISING REASON THAT AGES YOU 7: YOUR JOB

While having a job is pretty essential for most of us, it can also be one of the biggest causes of premature ageing. Firstly, work is a big source of stress for many people, which research has found can increase risk of heart disease and speed up cell ageing. Secondly, spending too many hours in the workplace can mean you have little time for essentials such as exercise, proper meals and sleep. To help minimize damage, try to avoid working exceptionally long hours and make the most of your evenings and weekends as times to relax.

SURPRISING REASON THAT AGES YOU 8: SOAP

While you may think that soap is your skin’s best friend, this is actually not the case. The reason for this is that your skin has an acid mantle which is a natural protective barrier of the skin. When you wash with soap – which is generally alkaline – it can remove this protective layer of oils and dry out the skin, eventually leading to wrinkles. While it is not advisable to stop washing entirely, try swapping the soap for a PH-neutral and chemical-free cleanser, and bear in mind that there is such a thing as over-cleansing your skin.

SURPRISING REASON THAT AGES YOU 9: THE CASE OF THE PILLOW

You may think you’re indulging in a bit of beauty sleep when you hit the hay at night; however the opposite could in fact be true. If you regularly sleep with the same side of your face pressed against a cotton pillow case this may cause creases on the skin which can eventually turn to fine lines and wrinkles. To help stay youthful overnight try sleeping on your back instead, or switch to a silk or satin pillowcase to create less compression wrinkles and help maintain skin’s moisture levels. 

SURPRISING REASON THAT AGES YOU 10:

DIETAS BAJAS EN GRASAS

Many of us have switched to low-fat diets, to help eliminate excess pounds, however, remove the healthy fats, such as omega-3 fatty acids may adversely affect the speed and the way we are getting older. Omega3 fatty acids, present in fat, fish, walnuts and flax seed, are essential to keep you looking and feeling young. Not only help to keep skin smooth and unwrinkled, but to enhance brain health, keep your heart in good condition and increase their lifespan.

We can not control or stop the chronological age, the clock is ticking, but we can slow the process through these tips. Allowing aging is not a wise choice, but an error. For most people growing old is still synonymous of a reduction in life  quality and it is when the  so-called "diseases of aging" such as cancer, Alzheimer's and arthritis appear. Today we know that living up to 120 years in health is a reality within the reach of most of us. Reject this possibility is a wasting of life little intelligent.

THE INFLUENCE OF THE ECLIPSES IN OUR INNER WORLD

The word Eclipse derives from the Latin  ecliptic and this in turn in Greek έκλειψις, meaning "disappearance". An eclipse is a phenomenon that occurs when a star is hidden transiently by the interposition of another celestial body, so that the first seems to have "disappeared" partially or fully for a certain period of time. Eclipses can occur in various systems where a planet has at least one moon, either by bringing the world about some of the moons, a moon in relation to another moon, or a moon to the planet.

Eclipses that affect us not only from the optical point of view, but their influence in our lives are those that involve the Earth, Sun and Moon. Beyond the visual spectacle that can provide an eclipse, it reflects a change in the flow of energy we receive from the luminaires and their influence in our lives, which matures situations that have been in the process, potentially unchaining events described in the natal chart.

Basically, eclipses in our Earth-Moon system occur when two conditions are met:
1 * The Sun, Moon and Earth are aligned.
2 * The Moon is near the intersection of its own orbital plane with the ecliptic (the lunar nodes).

Such spectacular and impressive phenomenon as the eclipses could not fail to be studied in depth by Astrology, which since antiquity has tried to figure out what message they enclose. In addition, over the last century, some of the events that have marked the history of mankind have coincided with an eclipse.

When the sun is coming from the astrological point of view, its effect is to merge and it merges only by heat, high pressure and density. Now imagine this same process but with the emotional and sensitive world. Acting from the unconscious, these energies are removed profoundly transforming the inner world. If there is no awareness of this internal process and how it moves, you can feel very confused, aside from the eventualities that arise and correspond to individual inheritance of everyone.

During Eclipses influence of the magnetic force generated by its cause, mobilizes emotions, the psychic impulses  and the instinctive strength from the roots in human psychology. Greatly enhances the personality, taking place boasting and privileges intended; Abruptly the darings arise and presumptions, seeking to humiliate others. It affects feelings, preventing them to manifest as emotions make their way into their overwhelming and exaggerated dynamics, causing the intransigence of the acts and leaving no room for feelings to be expressed.

We can see this in the face, and changes under the eclipses: It hardens, the look becomes more acute and sharp, the words have a load more raunchy and sharp. All sense of reconciliation is canceled by the same negative emotional effect that takes place, that strange time softens even before the demands of reality. The rigidity that the person may have in their psychological make now comes freely, thus leading to obstinacy. The rigidity  paralyzes the function of the constructive thoughts, they need freedom to move with joy and dynamic, to intervene in everyday life. This can be seen quickly in oneself, when discussing an issue trying to impose our own point of views with certain absolutism, despite the internal or external goodwill that could be watched. The emotional force sweeps preventing a more conciliatory and constructive purpose. You may then be aware of the internal dynamics, softening the harshness of character, achieve ductility, elasticity, flexibility in thinking and judgment before acting, to take place that favors conciliation and good understanding with each other and with oneself.

  UPCOMING ECLIPSES AND THEIR INFLUENCE

We will point out what the most dangerous coming eclipses in this  year may be  and what effects they might have. Also we'll try to determine which countries might affect as well as the areas or fields.

Total Solar Eclipse of November 3, 2013
It will occur in the sign of Scorpio and form a close conjunction with Saturn. We face a negative frankly eclipse as the destructive energies of Saturn will join the Scorpio. Its consequences will be more severe or more long-term than those of which occurred in 2008.

Total Solar Eclipse of March 9, 2016
It will take place in the sign of Pisces and form a tight square to Saturn in the sign of Sagittarius, which, as we know, has a strong influence on Spain. It is therefore likely that the consequences affect us directly or indirectly. Bring violent or destructive events related to religion or ideology.

Annular solar eclipse of September 1, 2016
It Will occur in the sign of Virgo and reshape a tense square Saturn and Neptune opposition. It seems clear that 2016 is presented as one year or quite difficult as the beginning of a very hard. It is also clear that the religious or ideological have a huge role in what might happen.

Total Lunar Eclipse of July 27, 2018
No doubt some catastrophic event presages, explosive or violent, because the Moon will form a conjunction with Mars and Uranus squaring. It will occur in the days or months after the eclipse, but within the same year. When meeting the Sun in the sign of Leo, could spell the assassination or overthrow of a head of state.

No doubt then that eclipses both Sun and Moon, generally produce transformations in human beings, not instantly, but over a period of about six months. While the sun or the moon are eclipsed, its power is interrupted for a few moments. In the case of the moon, as it governs the subconscious, our psyche receives alterations that lead to internal transformations, this occurs at the individual as well as global level, since the Moon rules the "collective unconscious."

Finally, there is much we can talk  about the year that has to come by looking at the Natal Chart of someone and pay attention to eclipses and lunations, these are some of the most important predictive tools of Astrology.

COMPLEXES IN CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS

Having a few extra kilos, that we do not like our body, a strident voice timbre or very grave... All along the years, we can develop some other resort. But what is a complex?, When do they begin to appear? In what could  we overcome them?.

A complex, according to the "theory of complexes" is a mental image, which has a strong emotional charge, either a  lived situation or of oneself, which interferes unconsciously in our thoughts and  in our way to act, often negatively. In other words, the complexes are distorted perceptions of reality that the a person has of him or herself, both his/her characteristics and his/her abilities, or even their own worth.

As we know, the image we have of ourselves, and our capabilities, is based on all those messages we get from when we are small, since our childhood. At that time the family environment is absolutely decisive, some issues favor the child feels unsafe and/or home unloved, developing  low self-esteem, something that gradually will influence the formation of a complexed character.

We must not forget this time, the school environment is  equally important for the correct formation of the child in relation to both his own personality, his intellect and his way of being. The jeers and laughter, can seriously influence the child's personality, something that will highlight further during early adolescence, where the teenager looks for his identity through the approval of others. We can not ignore the stereotypes and the ways that mark our society about the success or beauty.

I DO NOT LIKE HOW I AM

Big nose, too fat, too skinny, too awkward, tall, short, any of this physical characteristic can become a torment for a child. Help them to overcome and accept them is not an easy task, but not impossible.

We have complexes when we hide or try to hide what we are, it is important to accept yourself as you are, and if there is anything you do not like about you, you just have to work to change it, not camouflage or hide it. If what it troubles you can not  be changed, you have to accept it and always make it positive. Everything in life has its positive side, we just have to look and not to give up in the attempt until  we achieve it. Let's take out  the  complexes that breaks the development of a person, and also of those around him or her.

The complexes are irrational and think repeatedly about what we do not like ourselves can cause insecurity and low self-esteem. Sometimes the complexes correspond to a reality, others simply respond to a distorted self-perception. In a few cases, they are the result of the fun of a classmate, others are motivated because the children are compared with the perfect images shown in advertising or television. See? no one is safe and they can make the child feel inferior and affect him in his social relations and school.

Children who have a "different" characteristic, have always been teased and sometimes received nicknames. In all classes and in all ages has existed the nerd, the chubby, the weakling, to give some examples, though perhaps in this age children are more concerned about their appearance, as we live in a society that sometimes without realizing it, we give  great importance to physical appearance, which is perceived by the children, who also have reference models appearing on television and in advertising.
From 8 to 10 years is when they can start to experience these "complexes", as it is when you have the perception of self-image and your friends start to become important. In adolescence may be accentuated because it is a step in which the changes physically are noticeable,  personality is being defined and it is very important the group acceptance.

HOW TO OVERCOME THE COMPLEXES?

When a child or adolescent does not like him/hersef and a personal feature supposes to be  problem, parents should not minimize his feelings, telling him not to worry and that is an exaggeration, though we  think his problem  is silly,  his suffering is real. So phrases like "sorry you're worried ..." or "we can talk, tell me how you feel ...", will help him to express his feelings. It is necessary to provide tools to deal with his insecurities. If he is  a child and he suffers peer teasing by a physical difference, you have to explain that each person is different and when someone messes with them is to feel superior. It is necessary to teach him to value, emphasizing and enhancing his qualities and positive virtues.

Sometimes the complex is motivated by a distorted image of themselves when compared with colleagues or favorite actors. In these cases it is important that they learn to love as they are, with their flaws, it is convenient  to remind them their strengths to be valued, and have a conversation with them to explain that is frequent what is happening to them and gradually they will learn to like what they are. We must teach the children to be themselves, to live according to their tastes and characteristics, without caring what anyone thinks of them. Tell them that it is impossible to please everyone and there will always be people prettier and uglier, fatter or thinner, but that physical appearance is not important, but what really matters is the way to be.

Parents should be attentive to know how to detect when a child suffers from these issues, because they are sometimes shown retracted and sad, but at other times they can hide it under a haughty attitude, by behaving in such a way challenging.

The most important thing is to overcome a complex loving yourself, know your strengths and weaknesses both physical and character to accept them. It may be helpful to ask the teen to make a list of what he thinks are his faults and virtues, so that they can cope and realize all the positive characteristics they have.

Remind them not to constantly complain about their defects, since this will affect the image that others have of them and build self-esteem to win trus and confidence. It is also important to teach young children overcome problems in their  life, so that they learn to resolve conflicts that adults have to overcome, and accept the setbacks, as this is part of the learning process.
 
DO NOT FORGET:

-Give them example. If they see you value in excess your physical image or others,  they will  learn to value themselves by their appearance.

-Do not  highlight their flaws and enhance their qualities instead.

-Assess them. His family background is very important for a child, so if you don't feel wanted and appreciated you can increase its insecurity

-Give examples of people who have succeeded despite having a defect, to understand that they can convert to positive being different.

COSMETIC SURGERY TO END COMPLEX

In recent years, the age at which young people undergo cosmetic surgery has decreased. Nose or chest operations are sometimes given by parents themselves. Experts advise against operations to teenagers, since they have not finished their physical development. In any case, it is more important to help them to overcome a complex than eliminate the reason for the complex through an intervention.

In the case of liposuctions, interventions of breast or nose, the Spanish Society of Plastic surgery recommends not to operate before 18 years, except in concrete cases, as it might be that the person is suffering breathing problems that motivate the rhinoplasty. Behind these actions, you can covertly, give messages of trivialization of health, lack of respect for the own body and too much importance to the image.

In conclusion we may add that the complex can be overcome without much difficulty if the parents give their children the support they need. Even better, your kids will never have any complex if they are well educated by parents before going to school. This will give them confidence and what people say  will not have any adverse effect on their character. What is learned at home, will benefit all life.
