Odyssey of the Heart on Amazon website

Deborah — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 18:30:51 +0000

My book is now available though Amazon. It is something of an accomplishment (because I put off doing it after hearing about the difficulty other self-published authors had in getting their work approved) but I’m glad I did. Seeing my book listed gave me a pleasant feeling. Of course I don’t need Amazon to tell me I am a ‘real’ author, but it is validation. When bookstores won’t support local self-published authors, it is frustrating and disappointing. © Deborah Redfern 2012. All rights reserved. …

Winter Solstice Healing

Deborah — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 18:41:38 +0000

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

Deborah — Sat, 26 Nov 2011 18:32:19 +0000

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 …

Guided Meditation to Sense the Energy of your Front Door

Deborah — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 16:09:04 +0000

This was one of the most powerful exercises I did when I was first learning feng shui. The front door can tell us so much about how we feel about our home. For one thing, all the energy for your home enters through the front door. It sets the tone and makes the first impression. So naturally, we want that first impression to be a good one. It wasn’t that I discovered something I didn’t already know when I did …

Excerpt from my latest book!

Deborah — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 16:24:25 +0000

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

Deborah — Sun, 07 Aug 2011 19:54:59 +0000

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 …
