Enjoy A Stress-Free Holiday Season with Feng Shui by Lois Kramer-Perez
Here we are amidst the holiday season once again. It is so easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of it all, we find ourselves moving so quickly, we miss the joy connecting to the moments. What can we do?
Feng Shui principles create support in our life, wonderful tools to help us stay organized and grounded so to enjoy this festive fast paced time of year.
Here are some Feng Shui Tips to get us started.
Our Front Door
Use the front door. Be sure it is easy to open. Make it inviting, add color and sparkle.
Our front door is our face to the world, it represents how we are moving along in our life journey, let’s create a joyous and welcoming experience.
Movement and Flow
Movement should be effortless throughout our home, meandering like a stream of water flowing easily from room to room with ample space around furniture and objects. As we enter the season of winter, the element of water, we connect to the energy of adaptability and flow, it is the perfect time to dream of our hearts desires and make plans for the coming New Year. Connecting to the feelings of our thoughts and dreams, we can make it so!
It’s Good To Be Alive
Plants, flowers and trees bring life into our space, we use them to remind us how blessed we are to be alive. Embrace the sense of unconditional giving, how good it feels to show kindness to others. That which we give away with compassion, without expectation, is what we reap 1,000 times over. The energy of life brings forth an enthusiasm for action, nourishing our ideas, supporting our ability to go-go-go!
Let There Be Light! ‘Tis the season of parties and celebrations, filling our spirits with joy and excitement. We keep our fires burning from within, by surrounding ourselves with items that create a sparkling festive mood. Decorate with objects which bring joy, and don’t forget to don our favorite holiday gear. A sense of whimsy is always welcome to help us when we find ourselves too serious. Be spontaneous! Laugh, dance and sing! ‘Tis the season to be jolly.
Grounded and Secure We find comfort and stability when we have a place to feel cozy, warm and nurtured. The aroma of cookies baking in the oven, scents of cinnamon in the living room and a bit of lavender in the bedroom, we feel comfortable and relaxed. Comfy pillows or snuggly throws, square shapes and earth tones to help us feel secure and grounded.
Refine and Define The energy of metal help generates focus. When we find ourselves scattered from all the activities and excitement, take some time to create a sense of order and control. Stop for a moment to take a breath, allow 15 minutes to organize our space. Designate an area for gifts, holiday items and other paraphernalia that seems to be cropping up all over. The more time we spend shopping, visiting, celebrating, the less time we have to keep things in their natural order, and for some of us this can be very daunting and distracting. Choose the space where we can tolerate the temporary chaos and enjoy it!
