Black Viola Symbol Of Death And Reserection

Today I was looking out my office window at my back yard at Black Viola, now they are just a little larger variety of violets which grow prolifically in my yard. I deliberately do not have curtains on my home office windows so I can frequently look out at nature or nature of my back yard anyway. I have bird feeders next to my window in a tree. Well, anyway this morning I woke up with a stark fear of death stalking me again. Now I know that part of healing I am doing is rooting out things from my dark side. I have no fear of rooting them out but for I know as I bring them into light they will just disappear like a sugar cube in water. It is hiding them that makes one afraid. Well, anyway I was contemplating these little black Violas. Offically they are called Viola Cornuta and commonly Bowles Black Viola. They are quite insignificant as far a show goes but they are truly beautiful in their own right. I was so taken by them that I got up and went outside and picked a small bouquet of them and floated them in a bowl. The unusual color of black of this flower it looks like velvet is suited to it connection to death and resurrection through my of Attis. Attis is an ancient Turkish God of vegetation, growth and fertility; they grew where his blood spilled. He was beloved consort of Goddess Cybele. In his worship pine tree his symbol were dressed with black Violas.When Attis refused her love, in her rage she unmanned him. All future priests that attended and worshipped Cybele castrated themselves. This is an odd story of contrasts as Cybele and Attis were both symbolized death and reserection. They were fertility Gods and Goddess mourning always death of nature in Fall and reserection in Spring. Why would her priests not want to sow their seeds? Perhaps they were sacrificing their fertility in their grief for Attis so he might be born again in Spring.

Should you be taking a Multi Vitamin and Mineral Supplement

Your body has a genetic need for certain amounts and balances of nutrients in order to function efficiently. One of stunning revelations of HealthSmart Nutrition's system of Metabolic Bio Typing is that any given nutrient can have opposite biochemical effects in different Bio Types.

For example, potassium stimulates parasympathetic side of Autonomic Nervous System, thereby making a person more alkaline, if this is strongest working bio system in a person, but potassium also increases rate of oxidation, thereby making someone who's oxidation system is strongest even more acidic than they already are. So taking potassium is good for you if you are an acid-type Sympathetic Autonomic Dominant, or an alkaline-type Slow Oxidative Dominant, but bad for you if you are an already alkaline Parasympathetic Autonomic Dominant or an already acid Fast Oxidative Dominant! Which form of potassium is good for you is determined by what Metabolic Bio Type you are.

A supplement containing potassium citrate, for example, has a completely different effect than one containing potassium chloride. Potassium citrate essentially produces an alkaline effect, but potassium chloride has an acid effect.

To illustrate this highly significant issue, potassium is needed by Sympathetics (who are acid) and Slow Oxidizers (who are alkaline). But potassium citrate is bad for a Slow Oxidizer. The reverse is true for potassium chloride -- it's great for a Slow Oxidizer, but disastrous for a Sympathetic.

The reality is that you can neutralize or even adversely override benefit of a nutritional supplement if you take it in a form that is wrong for your Metabolic Bio Type!
