There was even a 1967 hit song by Scott McKenzie with the lyrics,? If you're going to San Francisco, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair.?
What goes around comes around, or so many a clich? lover has said, and the Flower Power of the 1960s has resurfaced again, not in hairpieces, but in tattoos.
Flower tattoos have an undeniable appeal to those of gentle spirit, both male and female. But politics aside, flower tattoos are simply lovely to look at and that alone makes them a favorite for women.
Women who began flocking to the boardrooms and offices of the American business culture in the 1980s also began flocking to the tattoo parlors of America, although at first their choices were both small and discreetly positioned.
All that has changed in the past twenty-five years, and the 21st century woman is willing to match any man in her choice of tattoos. Yet flower tattoos still remain the one which women most often request.
Many women choose single small flower tattoos as their introduction to the art of tattooing, and add more to it to form a garland or use it as the basis for a larger and more complex tattoo at a later date.
And flower tattoos allow the freedom to choose any colors in the tattoo artist's ink palette, whether or not they are actually found in nature. Blue roses, for instance, are extremely popular floral tattoos, and represent a striving for the impossible, because there are no naturally blue roses.
Roses, blue or otherwise, are without a doubt the most requested of all floral tattoos. The have come to symbolize everything from passionate love to eternal beauty to, when their thorns are portrayed, danger and hardship.
Hawaiian floral tattoos, on the other hand, are generally considered unisex tattoos, and are as popular with men as with women. They can include everything from the big, showy yellow Hawaiian Hibiscus to the delicate Cattleya Orchids, the blooms of which can measure anywhere from the one inch to eight inches across.
Miniature Cattleyas are perfect for floral tattoos on the ankle or shoulder blade, while the larger blooms can decorate backs, arms, shoulders, legs, or any place that one wants covered in beauty.
One of the biggest appeals of floral tattoos is that they will never become outdated; and a skilled tattoo artist can even create fantasy flowers with the colors of one variety, petals of another, and leaves and stems of a third.
A floral tattoo of a single bloom can be centered around the navel; floral tattoos can be vines winding around arms or legs.
Floral tattoos, 21st century style, in fact, can do anything a garden full of natural flowers can do, and much, much more!
In a previous article, I introduced the basic functions of the conscious mind as analogous to a tiny man at the controls of a giant earth moving machine. We now come to the heart of the matter, the source of your mind power. I wish to now once again introduce you to the basic functions of your unconscious (subconscious) mind.
First of all, your unconscious mind is enormous! In fact, according to some of the latest suggestions coming from the field of Quantum Physics, the unconscious mind has no boundaries. It is the engine that drives creation. It is the source of every thing that comes into your life. It takes all thoughts, images, fears, hates, etc. that are allowed into it and produces corresponding things, events, and circumstances in your experience.
It reasons deductively. It does not judge, moralize, nor filter. It uses the materials allowed into it. It is mechanical in its operation and it operates with laser like precision. It is the storehouse of all memory. It also has perfect knowledge. It has perfect control of the functions and conditions of your body.
Now this is only a partial list of the many functions and operations of your unconscious mind, but I believe you get the point. It can produce anything. We will cover more of its seemingly magical powers through some of the subsequent articles.
In spite of the many tremendous functions and operations of your unconscious mind, in spite of its unfathomable powers, it can only do what it is instructed to do! Nearly all of the instructions it receives (good or bad), come from you, through your conscious mind and self image filters, by way of your thoughts; and it is extremely amenable to suggestions.
Here then are the three major components your must work with in mastering your mind power; your conscious mind, your unconscious mind, and your self or self image. I strongly suggest that you pause at this juncture, move away from your computer, or if you printed the article, place it on the desk or table in front of you and ponder for a while what you just read.
If you are able to understand this bit of information, you will readily see the great mind power you now possess. It will then only be a matter of your making a decision to take the steps necessary to bring about changes in your life you desire.
I wish to tell you right here and now that I know without doubt that you can succeed in mastering your mind power. I also wish to tell you that you can just as easily delete this article from your computer or toss it into the recycling bin if you have printed it. The freedom to choose is your right and it is the greatest freedom you have, no matter what choices you make.
This I know for sure. You are the most miraculous of all living beings on earth. You are the owner of a mind that is so stupendous, that as you truly begin mastering your mind power and consciously using it, there is no dream that you can dream that you cannot achieve.
