Winter Solstice Healing
Winter is a time of dramatic transformation and alchemy. The growing season over, the temperatures drop, there are fewer hours of daylight and the trees are bare. In many places in the world plants wither and die back, and the earth is blanketed in a thick cover of snow. It is a time for outward stillness and dormancy. Sound bleak? In the Bleak Midwinter by Julie Andrews Not bleak I think, but deep. Deep inside the earth – perhaps under …

The New Feng Shui Home Office
Remember those first cell phones we called ‘bricks’ for their bulky size? How about the first portable PC, laptops that were really too heavy to comfortably carry (or work with one on your lap for any length of time, for that matter). They were supposed to make our offices portable – and they did, if you are thinking large, heavy briefcase. With the portable devices like tablet PC, iPads and smart phones do we even need home offices anymore? A comfortable armchair, a …

It wasn’t that I discovered something I didn’t already know when I did …

Excerpt from my latest book!
Yes I have a new book in progress; her working title is “Home Sensibilities”. Now this is going to sound completely unrelated but it actually is: here on the north Pacific coast, we are enjoying blissful weather with warm days verging on hot, and cool refreshing mornings, and it is only those early evenings (twilight at 8:00 now!) that I know that it really is the Fall. And so, by chance, this morning I was working on my chapter about late summer …

Feng Shui Ritual for Clarity
When you need to make a decision, or to get clarity on a situation in your life, doing this feng shui ritual may help. Here it is: clean the windows. Whether you use window cleaner and paper towels, or water and vinegar and old towels, cleaning the windows helps because in feng shui, windows are a metaphor for insight. They oversee the physical eyes and the ability to see clearly. So, when the windows are dirty, cracked, broken, do not open or stick, it is a metaphor for not being able …

The Value of Feng Shui Certification Part Three
Read Part One and Part Two I have studied with several teachers/mentors who are not affiliated with any organization, as a deliberate choice. I have colleagues who mention they prefer to study with different teachers/mentors and out of their training form their own unique modality. Even with the advice of mentors telling of the pitfalls of belonging to an organization, when I began the process of taking certification courses ‘credibility’ and acknowledgement as a graduate of that school seemed important. This is probably really useful for someone starting out in …
