Springtime Greetings!<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Take a deep breath. A full inhale of springtime! Invigorating. We’re enjoying clear, blue skies in <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:place><st1:PlaceName>Sonoma</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType>County</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>, and warmer temperatures day-by-day. For this month, with summer forthcoming, let’s consider the Feng Shui Helpful People and Travel area. <o:p></o:p>
Standing at the front door, as you face in, Helpful People and Travel is to the right and front of your dwelling. What’s the first thing to do? Yes! Clear clutter and clean. That said, let’s move on (I choose nag-less-ness.). <o:p></o:p>
Who are helpful people and how does travel connect here? In a couple of different ways, let’s begin with the ‘outer’ helpful people and travel. Helpful people are those that lift us up in one way or another in our daily goings-on; from the gesture of a friendly smile to placing a roof over our heads. These are the people who care about our well-being and success. We make connections to these people in matters of health, family, relationship, finance, and more. We thrive knowing loving acts and thoughts are part of the flavor of this life. When all is well, when our world feels safe, we look beyond, we look to expand. We look to travel. Let us go and see, smell, eat, feel that which is new to us. Let us communicate with people who look and speak differently than we do. Let us learn from the cultures of others to make our lives bigger, better, brighter! <o:p></o:p>
Let’s look at ‘inner’ helpful people and travel. This is real adventure, true expansion. These helpful people hold our Truth in their hearts. They inspire us with their deeds, spoken and written words, uplifting thoughts, and awareness. We are gifted by these spiritual beings with a taste for the inner journey. Travel tickets not required – just a comfortable place to sit; some deep, cleansing breaths; and eyes gently closed – Voila! We’re there! Our desire to travel takes us within to seek out our Light. To explore thoughts of our Higher Selves also makes our lives bigger, better, and brighter!<o:p></o:p>
How will Feng Shui activate this Chi? Use a silver box (real, painted, covered with aluminum foil…) and in it place pieces of paper with the names of people helpful to you – whether you actually know them or not (an author might be one). Set an intention with gratitude for the blessings these beings bring to you. If you have a photo or another item that recalls someone you are grateful for, place it there. From time to time review the names and update (remember, Feng Shui is a constant process, you’re never ‘done’). If you have a desire to travel this summer, place a map of the city or country you’d like to visit there; hang a picture of it on your wall. Write an affirmation with gratitude (on gray paper or with silver ink) for each day growing into a more helpful person. To further activate the Chi, place five gray or silver candles here setting an intention to light the path of every traveler, every journey. <o:p></o:p>
Be it climbing <st1:place>Yosemite</st1:place>’s Half Dome, waltzing in <st1:City><st1:place>Vienna</st1:place></st1:City>, sipping vodka in <st1:City><st1:place>St. Petersburg</st1:place></st1:City>, sunbathing in <st1:place>Rio</st1:place>, or meditating to bask in the Light of All-There-Is… regardless of your chosen journey, set your intention to be an enthusiastic helpful person to other travelers. Bon Voyage!<o:p></o:p>
In gratitude and with an intention to serve,<o:p></o:p>
