Feng Shui tip for Saturday March 15th from Astrology.com

Beware the Ides of March my friend. Unless, of course, you know Feng Shui. One surefire way to stop all those backstabbers, office gossips and those politicking to get your job is to place any symbol or depiction (statue or figurine) of a rooster at the top of your desk. This will put an immediate end to all those who are cocky enough to think that they could do without you and will leave you able to strut your stuff in peace

Feng Shui tip for Friday March 14th from Astrology.com

Today is National Pi day because, of course, 3.14 is the value of Pi. Quantum Physics actually has a great deal to do with Feng Shui, don’t you know. Physics portends that for each and every action there has to be an equal or opposite reaction. That’s the same when you create an intention and then follow it with any action step, such as hanging a wind chime outside and to the left of your front door. When you take that action you are creating an (energetic) reaction of inviting great good fortune and lots of luck into your home. Hang a wind chime today. When you do, I promise, you’ll definitely enjoy a nice piece of Pi.

Dreams

Kathy and I have been discussing our dreams on email. I have recently been giving a lot of thought to some ‘old’ dreams I have had.

   We always know deep down what they mean don’t we? Sometimes it takes a while for the answer to come through to us, but thats why its a good idea to save our dream journals.

   I would welcome any comments any of you have about this subject.

March 6, 2008 at 12:12 pm eI think you are right about it representing growing older and slowing down. Maybe Mother Nature realizes that when we are younger our physical energy is high and needs constant outlet. Since nothing in nature seems to be random, maybe the physical slowing down we get as we age is so we can practice more control of our inner world rather than our outer world. That gives the cleaning process an entire new energy working on the spiritual plane rather than physical.

Orderly?

 I have always been a great believer in getting up everyday and ‘getting my house in order.’ It justs makes the whole day better. It feels like we are then ready for ‘life.‘ I hate that I don’t have the energy to take care of this the way I did when I was young. It seems to represent my growing older and slowing down.     I don’t mind getting older, I just want to be able to manage (control?) my surroundings. Don’t we all?

Comments to Kathy from Lela about Wheatgrass

It isn’t hard at all. After you once get it going it just grows like crazy. Mom is growing some now too. I actually had so much in the frig I had to stop for a couple of days and Frank and I are trying to drink 2-4 oz a day each. and thats a lot of juice.

   Answering your questions, I ordered everything from wheatgrass.com. It was a kit complete with everything. We are growing ours indoors with ‘grow’ lights. I have followed the instructions perfectly and have not had any trouble so far. You just put the seeds on top of the soil like you were sprouting something. Get them really wet and put 4 layers of bounty paper towels on them. You water them everyday and the third day you take off the towels. Actually they are already pushing the towels up. I take them off the shelf every morning and water.

They grow so thick by the tenth day they will not dry out in the middle of the tray. You have to watch closely for mold. I guess that is a big problem sometimes. I think we could actually plant a little thinnner.

  I have a good book you can borrow if you want, and the kit comes with one also. I don’t know why they couldn’t be grown outside if the weather is good.

   But you can’t put them in the blender, or even in a regular juicer. It is a hand operated juicer like the old meat grinders. The grass is so delicate that the high speed blenders can’t squeeze the juice out, the grass just wraps around the blades. Next time you come over I will show you everything.

   I am very impressed with the results so far. I think wheatgrass should really be used on a regular basis for chronic diseases. For many very ill people this is their miracle medicine. But I thought i would take it to get this weight off of me and ‘cure’ my arthritis and the other disorders I have and then just take it a few times a year for cleansing and ‘tune up.’

Kathy Francis comments on ‘Wheatgrass’

Hey Lela,
I am anxious to try the wheatgrass. I think it must be too easy because I keep wanting more instructions before I give it a try. I do have some wheatgrass seeds. Do you cover the seeds with plastic before they sprout? Can you use a blender to juice the wheatgrass? Let me know if this gets thru to you. It’s my first time to reply.

Feng Shui tip for March 6th from Astrology.com

 As Winter winds to an end, sometimes it’s a bit more difficult to get up and get going in the morning. Why not make that endeavor exponentially easier by employing what’s called ‘The Bright Hall Effect?’ This ‘Effect’ says that the first thing you see each day upon awakening will influence, for good or not, the rest of your thoughts and feelings for the whole rest of the day. Whether on the wall in front of you or over the top of your bed, place something sweet, enchanting and inspiring to greet you as you open your eyes and then go ahead and get energized to enjoy one truly terrific day!

   A funny thing I do–and I know how silly this sounds–is in the moments right after I wake up and I still lying in bed stretching, I put a big smile on my face. Sometimes just the thought of what it looks like is enought to make me smile in earnest.

   Try it, this is a simple thing to check out. Makes you happy instead of grumpy and thinking of your aches and pains when you get out of bed.

March 5, 2008 at 1:39 pm eHi Mom, it seems to me it is an ongoing cycle. We no more than get one room or closet cleaned out then there is a cluttered mess somewhere else. Isn’t our life the same way? Thats why I have always resonated with our home representing our basic self.
A room that is closed off and not used very often eventually still needs a cleaning and clearing out. It seems to get kind of dusty and uninteresting. We just need to stir things up a little and start something new.
We could say that is the same as a relationship we don’t pay much attention to, like a partner or a child. Eventually our neglect takes a toll there too.

Feng Shui Tip for Wednesday March 5th from Astrology.com

If you are trying to sell your home and you have any abstract art hanging around, you need to take it down and put it away. It’s been proven that prospective buyers who peruse possible new living spaces have a tremendous memory of what your personal art preferences are but don’t remember what the kitchen you just spent a ton of money renovating looks like. Move the art, replace it with mirrors to make the space look dimensionally larger and lead them on to the great amenities. Sold!

March 4, 2008 at 2:32 pm eYes, you did. I don’t think I have ever really had a system. Except one. There was a time when if I had something packed up in a box for a year, I could get rid of it without ever looking inside.
Now I have to look! The things I have trouble parting with now are not nostalgic, or antiques or even things I might need someday like extra dishes.
I have trouble getting rid of books and research papers. Even though I have saved everything on disks and memory sticks.
After I have used something for a while I am usually very willing to give it to someone who expresses a desire for it. Its like I have enjoyed it so I will pass it on to someone else.
I think that is one of my favorite things about winter coming to an end, even though I enjoy it more than most people. I learned years ago the value of spring and fall house cleaning. It is much more difficult for me to accomplish this now since I am older and my house is hard to manage. But the benefits far surpass the trouble and hassel of getting it cleaned up and cleared out.
In your head you know this is when something has to go so you do it, its just time.

2. I’ve been in the “clearing” space process for at least the last 4 years. Not just from past personal relationships, but just “stuff” in general. It’s so easy to pile up this and that. Of course, we think some things are important at the time and then realize that it’s really just a space taker upper. We can all live with so much less than what we have and what we accumulate. My general conditions for item trashing are: 1) do I love it? 2) do I use it? & 3) would I miss it if I never saw it again? Obviously some things may take a lot longer to get rid of than others, but my inspiration comes from the feeling of freedom from “things”. I don’t even realize they are weighing me down or keeping me in a constant state of chaos as I’m trying to work through and around clutter.
   Talk about long-winded. This really hit home for me. Hope I stayed on target:)

 

Feng Shui tip for Tuesday March 4th from Astrology.com

Daily Feng Shui Tip for Tuesday, March 4

Yes, Spring is right around the corner and that means that Summer can’t be far behind. It’s time to start to shed the sweaters and think about wearing less clothes in the coming weeks and months. If that idea brings a lump to your throat — one that holds a fun-size Snickers in it — then it’s time to start thinking about shedding some pounds as well. Feng Shui says that eating off a black plate will not only quell your appetite but will cause you to consciously think about everything you’re putting in your mouth. Sweet!

The Hands of President Hillary Clinton

The Hands of President Hillary Clinton           This morning when I went upstairs for my prayer time I had an experience I would like to share with the rest of you. It is probably a little long and detailed but I need to write it all down anyway.          I started my prayer with my prayer shawl and basil and sandalwood oil and my ‘background music’ playing very softly.  I went from prayer to meditation and was in a very, very deep state when I realized that I was visualizing Hillary walking up the steps to the White House and going inside to the Oval Office.

            She sat down at the desk like all those pictures we have seen of other presidents and I realized that she had been elected. She was our new president.  I could see her aura completely around her body very large and brilliant and clear.                    Then I noticed that all around her and above her were angels! Lots and lots of angels swirling in the background. There was a beautiful sound of laughter and music! They were so happy and excited! Then all at the same time they bent down and put their hands on her head. They were giving her their blessing.                   Then they bent forward and picked up her hands and held her hands in theirs. Its like the whole world was in her hands and they were protecting her and blessing her hands so she could do good work.                   Then I kept seeing the image of her hands in my mind.  Hands held in prayer.Hands that stroked a child.

Hands that shook hands with world leaders.

Hands that opened the door to the other party.  Hands that pledged allegiance to the flag.       Hands that made a fist of power and strength.    Hands that saluted our soldiers.       Hands that are gentle and compassionate. 

And there were other images. Even if for some reason the powers that be decide this is not the right time for her to be president this image will remain in my mind always. I think she has had a major impact on all of us, that has changed our thinking and our concept of how things have always been. Lela

Comment to LizAnne

LizAnne, I really love that Feng shui tip. That is something all of us should think about regularly, as our lives are always changing. Of course, it is very important when we lose a partner or friend, but it also happens for me even if the weather changes!
I can remember times when my kids were in their teens and I would be so upset or worried about something that was happening–like waiting up half the night for one of them to come home–one thing that always got me through was to get up and move things around. Like put the dishes away and clear up the kitchen. Very theraputic, and I guarantee I would start throwing things out, anything that was in my way or was clutter, went in the trash can. It was like ‘getting my space and my life under control’
In dream analysis our home represents our basic self. The larger picture is, this is one thing we can fix. I think it is so important that we should not overlook it. You can heal things in your own self and your daily life by making these adjustments in your living space.
Hey, I am allowed to get windy here!

March 4, 2008 at 7:30 am eI guess it’s time to clean up my space. A good time to pack away old memories is when I move to the farm. It will be hard to put away the things I really like, but I think I can deal with VERY PERSONAL things
