Osho said that he had been "the guru of the rich", for only the (materially) wealthy person is the poorest, and only such a person comes to find answers to the unsolvable problems of life, because there is nowhere left to go. A poor person still has so much to do, so much to achieve, so much to become. Who is interested in philosophy, theology, art? All that is too much for them. His followers have developed Osho meditation-based programmes for stress management, which they have also successfully sold to companies such as BMW and IBM, generating considerable profit.
Divination - an intriguing matter, especially in times of change or doubt, when a person is uncertain about their future, their relationships, their financial situation, etc. One wonders what Latvia's government has divined in coffee grounds or otherwise, in approving next year's budget and action programme for preventing/not preventing the economic crisis. Whatever the case, everyone wants to know the most important things first, to intuitively sense and avoid misfortunes, to think one step ahead, to preserve relationships and stability.
It is not only for beauty that a woman chooses jewellery, especially jewellery that attracts the attention of those around her. Jewellery also serves as an attractor of the prying and unfavourable gazes of those around, and thereby also a deflector of negative energy away from the person herself.

Each person is a particle of the world and arms themselves, creating a microcosm around themselves in the surrounding macrocosm.

In the 20th century aromatic substances began to be used in medicine, which meant that the properties of aromatic substances and their specific effect on the human psyche and body were rationally studied.
When the Phoenicians (among the first inhabitants of Spain) entered Spain, there were said to be so many rabbits that they named the land "Isephanim" (I-shephan-im), which in the Phoenician language means "The Rabbit Shore".
In the summer of 2007 we visited this crystal museum, which was actually located underground, beneath the green hill - a man with crystal eyes and where words flow - mountain water. The museum consists of a foyer and 13 rooms. Each has its own theme, its own name and, of course, crystals, crystals, crystals.

The colour yellow is the colour of the sun, warmth, optimism and energy. Yellow is the colour of intellect, containing within itself the power of transformation. It is like a path from the unconscious to the conscious.
