Feng Shui: 10 Healthy Living Tips
I ran into the Buddha on the Road to Sveltesville, and I said, “Buddha, I\’ve been thinking that I great way to begin to lose weight would be to eliminate high fat and sugary foods. What do you think?” And the Buddha replied, “Maybe!”
What did the Buddha mean? Did he mean that starting there was the \’wrong place to start?\’ Should I be looking at another place, a new place to start??? Needless to say, my mind went into high gear (as our minds tend to do). And … I came up with a near perspective; a new place to start.
Here follows some new thinking on how to move from heavy to light that has nothing whatsoever to do with fat or sugar!
I invite you to just for a moment imagine that you have successfully negotiated your way through your work-day, which basically means that you made it out alive! You worked through piles of paper; you managed not to react to irritating people, you enjoyed the happy moments, and much more!
Now, imagine that – after this invigorating day – you are tentatively putting your key in the front door lock, turning the knob and entering. You are met by two weeks worth of newspapers piled high, and/or dirty laundry, and/or an empty fridge, or plants that need watering, or a dog that didn\’t appreciate your being late and has gnawed his way through your slippers, or dust balls, or stagnant air, or just plain clutter! I don\’t know what type of disarray you might find in your home, but you do!
Here are some very basic Feng Shui tips that will keep the happy energy flowing!
What is Feng Shui?
Feng Shui translates literally to “wind-water.” It is the ancient Chinese art of placement, and its goal is to achieve harmony, comfort and balance in one\’s environment first and then in one\’s life.
You can now understand why it is that the perfect way to start anew, to begin your journey to Sveltesville (home of Our Lady of Weight Loss and the Kick in the Tush Club) is to clear your space, so that you can promote free flowing energy throughout your environment! After the energy flows, we can start to fill the fridge with healthy foods!
Feng Shui: 10 Healthy Living Tips
I\’m telling you, do whatever it takes to clear and clean your air. You can grow an indoor garden of air-purifying plants, use essential oils to clear the air, maybe an air-purifier?
Needless to say, if natural light is not as bright or plentiful as you\’d like it to be, there are intelligent, smart indoor lighting products to choose from. As you move into the light, your energy level will improve ten-fold!
I have tweaked this 3 feet between furniture to 3 feet between seating areas. For instance, if I were to leave 3 feet between my sofa and coffee table, end table and side chair, I\’d have to buy my neighbor\’s apartment, knock down the walls for it all to fit in, and it would be ugly! Still, no furniture jams, please!
Spread the word … NOT the icing!
