Flying Stars, Colors & Elements
What are the Flying Stars?
This is movement pattern of the Big Dipper & it's directions, in relationships to the North Star. Their (Stars) flight pattern returns & changes, every day, month, year & 60 years. This pattern calendar has been kept current now, for more than 10,000 years. But really, this is the pattern of the energetic effects of our environment on our everyday reality, based on the movement of these stars. Planetary events effect & influence Earth's events. It is statistically recorded, analyzed & tested by Chinese metaphysics for centuries. These patterns can influence major world events, as well as minor personal issues. Knowing your own energetic patterns can be helpful, to avoid serious health issues, or at least trying to prevent major tragedy.

Tibetan Buddhist Perspective
As you probably know each of 5 Buddha Families represented by 5 different colors, and each of these colors also represents one of our 5 base afflictive emotions or mental obscurations.
Vairochana (Buddha Vairochana) Represented by the color white, this family is associated with the emotion of ignorance. The white color symbolizes the wisdom of all-encompassing space, which transforms ignorance into the wisdom of reality.
Vajra Family (Buddha Akshobhya): Represented by the color blue, this family is linked to the emotion of anger. The blue color signifies mirror-like wisdom, which transforms anger into a clear, reflective state of mind.
Ratna Family (Buddha Ratnasambhava): Represented by the color yellow, this family is associated with the emotion of pride. The yellow color symbolizes the wisdom of equanimity, which transforms pride into a state of even-mindedness.
Padma Family (Buddha Amitabha): Represented by the color red, this family is linked to the emotion of desire. The red color signifies the wisdom of discriminating awareness, which transforms desire into discernment.
Karma Family (Buddha Amoghasiddhi): Represented by the color green, this family is associated with the emotion of envy. The green color symbolizes the wisdom of all-accomplishing activities, which transforms envy into the ability to accomplish all things.
Based on this you can determine which deity or Buddha Family you connect with the most. You just have to be honest with yourself and your emotional patterns. When it comes to specific health conditions, selecting “Helpful Buddha” practice also comes from emotion-obscuration-disorder pattern analysis, not just intuitive assumption.
Flying Stars & Colors in Design
We all heard about colors & sounds effect on our minds. How some people experience seizures, when there is too much Red color around, for example. Some people can experience depression from the color Blue excess. Too much White, for some, seams like a "Hospital scene". I heard this from other people. Psychologist used light Green color, as a part of the therapeutics, to calm down aggression & Yellow with Orange tones, as a part of increasing positivity in depressed people. Here some articles about this in terms of mainstream psychology.
What is Color Therapy? Each person's Bazi or Birth Chart has various elements combined. This is also how we can determine each person's either lacks or over exaggeration of some personality characteristics & qualities. We can use clothes in various colors to support & balance our lives. We can also use physical materials to correct our environment based on individual needs.

If you need to Support Energy of the particular Element, use this pattern:
Wood burns & CREATES Fire. Wood is the resource for Fire.
Fire burns & CREATES Earth. Fires is the resource for Earth.
Earth interacts with environment & CREATES Metal. Earth is the resource for Metal.
Metal ~ CREATES Water, by condensing (under the influence of the environment) Metal is the resource for Water.
Water "feeds" the Wood. Water is the resource for Wood.
The three poisons as roots of illness
Tibetan medicine posits that all illnesses ultimately stem from the three poisons (or afflictive mental factors) of attachment (desire/greed), aversion (anger/hatred), and delusion (ignorance). These poisons are believed to disrupt the three fundamental energies or humors of the body: rlung (wind), mkhrispa (bile), and badken (phlegm). When these humors become imbalanced due to the influence of the three poisons, it can lead to various physical and mental health problems.
Emotional impact on specific humors
Attachment/Desire is linked to disturbances in rlung (wind). Excess desire and restlessness are thought to disrupt the subtle flow of rlung, which can manifest as anxiety, sleeplessness, and in severe cases, even madness. People, who meditate without proper grounding in Sutra or physical wellbeing can,sometimes, develop “Lung - meditator disorder” and mental problems associated with it. This is also result of desire or attachment to the outcome. When person refuses to let go of idea of becoming enlightened and unable to relax. This can cause multiple disturbances in your body and mind. Sometimes, it is ok to let go of your thriving and get back to practice later. Westerners have a tendency to push through without balancing, it is part of our competitive culture. Unfortunately, westerners forget that when it comes to Dharma: self-patience and self-discipline go together. You are not a bio-robot, and this is not a wallstreet achievement or Noble Prize you must have, this is a lifetime award. Being patient with self matters. You may be surprised with your realizations once you actually let go desire to succeed.
Anger/Aversion is associated with imbalances in mkhrispa (bile). Constant anger can disrupt the body’s heat energy and lead to disorders like high blood pressure, inflammation, and liver problems. These can lead to cancer and multiple internal disorders, from diabetes to strokes. If you have been diagnosed with one of these disorders, think about what you can correct without medications? What or who do you despise the most? Who or what in your life causes you to feel angry or irritating most of the time? Getting to the root cause of these emotions may help you find a cure or speed up the healing process.
Delusion/Ignorance is connected to disruptions in badken (phlegm). Laziness, mental dullness, and a lack of awareness stemming from delusion are seen as contributing to imbalances in bodily fluids and badken disorders like obesity, general weigh problems and slow metabolism. These are probably the hardest to cure, simply because these are the most common obscuration embedded into us by the western society. It does not mean that all overweigh people are completely deluded or ignorant, but it does mean they can not see things clearly, like need tor a temporary fastingor diet, or self-discipline, for example. Lacking self control is the main problem with phlegm disorder.
We often hear Tantric practitioner say “Manifesting or transforming Thee Poisons as Three Kayas”- this is what they mean transforming negative emotions into positive, by recognizing them before acting on it, becoming aware of emotions prior to any actions. Becoming aware can prevent us from getting sick.
