The Holiday season is a veritable feast for the senses. We are engulfed in the sounds, the smells, the visual delights, the hugs and “warm fuzzies”, and the marvelous tastes and treats for the palate that we only experience once a year. So, let’s use these sensual delights to Feng Shui our homes and offices for the holidays.

Remember that the purpose of Feng Shui is to enhance the life energy, or Chi, in the home or workplace. The most important thing for the holidays is to keep YOU harmonious and filled with life energy! Not an easy task in our hectic society!

The first order of the day is to keep things SIMPLE, probably the most difficult task of all. There are many things you can use to smooth out the energy roller coaster created by the holiday rushes. Let’s take a look at the Western version of the Feng Shui Bagua to look at some of the places we can begin to create more harmony in our home or workplace. Remember that the key to using the bagua overlay is to keep the Knowledge/Career/Helpful People line along the same wall as the entry door to the home, office, or room. You can place the bagua outline over the whole house or over each individual room.

Wealth Fame Relationships

Family Health Children/ Creativity

Knowledge Career Helpful People

Each of these areas can be harmonized by simple additions that can help smooth the energy and create more peace in your environment.

Let’s look at some of these areas to see how we can create that place of refuge and regeneration that we need in the midst of all the chaos.

Since these are holidays that focus on family and friends, let’s begin by adding enhancements to the Family Area and the Relationship Area.

To calm and balance the unsettled or chaotic energy of the family you can place a gently moving mobile in the Family Area of the house. Create family health and peace by placing new green plants or other items with the color green in the Family Area to enhance the characteristics of harmony, peace, and growth. Enliven and strengthen the family (or the office staff “family”) by hanging a wind chime in the Family Area. Be sure that the chime has a pleasing and clear sound.

To enhance the Relationship Area of the home, add some fresh new green plants to this area in order to power up the harmony, peace, and growth. This is a good area to add some soft pink items (GREAT place for a loving rose quartz crystal) to generate that unconditional love that the season is really all about.

Add some red power plants (poinsettias are in season!) to the Wealth area to keep the finances strong on the home front. You could also add some gold silk flowers to this area to boost your wealth. This time of year the Walmarts and Big Lots! Have gold poinsettias that are quite effective and attractive for this purpose.

Fill your home with soothing music as much as possible. Keep the aromas in the home comforting and love-inspiring. Have a potpourri of apple, cinnamon, vanilla or whatever scent makes you feel all warm and relaxed and at peace. Take a bath with lavender, pine, rose, or tangerine to help you.

Relax and calm down after that hectic shopping spree. An excellent way to rejuvenate physically and emotionally is to take a leisurely bath with 8 ounces of organic apple cider vinegar in the water (no, you won’t smell like a salad). This regenerates the pH of the skin and feeds the muscles with needed potassium. Keep a small bottle of basil, peppermint, spearmint to inhale gently to revive your mental fatigue and weariness due to stress and financial worries. Come join me at Kindred Spirits Bookstore in Claremont on Nov. 1 at 2pm to learn even more ways to reduce stress and achieve emotional freedom.

Always keep in mind: Move in Harmony, Breathe deeply, and SMILE!
