rohaan: Thanks for that...there is a lot of value in those few words. If one isn’t “ used” to a particular cuisine, this is extremely likely. It’s about your body not “ recognizing” what’s being put in it—- but once accustomed, this tends to happen less. It makes sense to me...however, have you noticed how healthy many People from India are? I know some aren’t, but the ones in coastal Oregon seem to be athletic and fit..
I have Indian friends who are very healthy..and vegetarians. I've learned a lot from them as they have a restaurant.

ChesneyChrist: Wore a lot of red in my communist days as a teenager. Pink in the years as a womaniser. And purple when I hit 30, there's a touch of boring blue in there now a conservative element a sense of sort your life out.
Comrade Chesney! What age were you when you started thinking 'wait a minute I'm not so sure about this'.
My favourite colour is blue. Many of my clothes are in Blue. Think blue looks regal, elegant and smart. Colours play a massive role in our lives. Imagine a life of no different colours. I just did and it looks empty and hollow. ! How wonderful is this nature. It has ensured our lives are filled with different colours.
And spare a thought for people and animals who are blind and cannot this beauty.

Some animals do see some colours. Horses, for example, can see yellow and green...so I'm told.
My favourite colour also used to be blue...all shades... Light blue, dark or navy blue and also turquoise As it reminded me of the sea and the sky.
But, as I got older, my tastes in colours also changed. I like earthly colours....depending on my moods.
AI_1984: Why is colour such a powerful force in our lives? What effects can it have on our bodies and minds?
While perceptions of colour are somewhat subjective, there are some colour effects that have universal meaning.
Shades of red in the colour spectrum are known as warm colours and include red, orange, and yellow. These warm colours evoke emotions ranging from feelings of warmth and comfort to feelings of anger and hostility.
Colours on the blue side of the spectrum are known as cool colours and include blue, purple, and green. These colours are often described as calm, peaceful and healing, but can also be feelings of sadness or indifference.
How do people respond to different colours?
Do colours affect your moods and vice versa?
Here in Spain, where the weather is sunny and hot most the year, people mostly wear dark colours (black, brown). The tourists stand out because of the bright colours they wear.
In Africa, where it´s also hot, traditional dress is brightly coloured.
What colours do you wear in the winter?...in the summer?....
What colours are your walls in your house?.... bed linen? Etc..
When out in nature, can you blend in like a chameleon to fit your surroundings?
Please, feel free to discuss.....
Wishing you All a Bright Colourful Day
The music room is burgundy and white. The burgundy warms up the room a bit without being overpowering.

Ohhh...that sounds posh? Don't you have any sun in there?
Mine is very bright and sunny but small. I have a pale lilac with pine furniture and cream tiles on the floor. The colours tend to make the room look a bit bigger.
Colours can make us more aware, alter our senses, make us emotional, They have the power to improve our memory and attention, and even convince us to make a certain decision and change our minds.
For instance when buying clothes you decide on a style of dress but change your mind because you prefer a different colour. I find this in home decor too. We see the object but the colour is usually predominant and the deciding factor.

The most amazing colours and incredible patterns I've ever seen, (apart from in the late sixties maybe ) was when I had a short session on a 'dream machine' a few years ago. It was an incredible ten minutes and I experienced colours and intricate patterns I never knew existed and that was with my eyes closed...I wish I had one at home...
Dreamachine, a device exclusive for aesthetic hallucinations by Todd | Altered States, History, Light Machine
In an attempt to recreate a spontaneous hallucination he had during a bus ride to Marseille, Brion Gysin created a stroboscopic device known as The Dreamachine. Gysin says that once, he closed his eyes while he was riding a bus as it was going down a long street surrounded by trees at sunset, suddenly, he began experiencing innumerable brilliant colours exploding behind his eyelids, as if he was staring into a kaleidoscope. This is probably an illusion we’ve all experienced as we rub our eyes while we’re facing the sun or, like Gysin, when we close our eyes as we travel down a street where the light is interrupted by trees.
The device is a cylinder with cut-outs on its sides. If the cylinder is placed on a platform that turns at 78 or 45 rpm (for example a turntable)with a light bulb in its centre, the intermittent flashes produce a frequency that corresponds to that of alpha waves, which immitate the natural waves that occur when the human brain is relaxed or meditating.
The Dreamachine is the first object to have been designed with the purpose of being seen with closed eyes. It explores the different possibilities of perception—as Gysin puts it— ‘for our thoughts to function beyond any control’. The blinking light stimulates the optical nerve and the nervous oscillations of the brain, producing visions of fast, bright movements and geometrical patterns…
