"Remember, peace is not a noun to be objectified, it is not something to be obtained. Nor is peace an adjective, a mere qualifier enabling you to compare it to something else. Peace is an action, a verb - something to do and something to be." Rev. Deborah L. Johnson From: |

If the shoe fits… You are familiar with the proverb “If the shoe fits, wear it” and may have noticed the absence of a proverb for the shoe not fitting – except for a verse the evil step-sisters might have sung. We consider today the metaphorically fitting shoe, as well as the metaphorically ill-fitting shoe. Imagine from the bottom up, picture yourSelf wearing shoes that are not your size, a skirt or trousers that are too long, a huge and heavy jacket, and a floppy-brimmed hat covering your eyes. Let your minds eye capture that image. Now, still imagining, reach to your knees to pull up on your skirt or trousers and… run! Run? Why yes, run. OK then, walk. If you imagined gorgeous, strappy Jimmy Choo stilettos picture something more comfortable. Better? Not really? Too much continues to be too much? While forward motion remains possible it is greatly hampered by the too-muchness of your attire; your body draped in clothes that don’t fit. These garments may have been sized correctly at some other time in your life, but those days are gone. Who can move in all this? Ah! Exactly the question the Chi in your home asks! The life force energy enters your home through the front door (the Mouth of Chi) and may, if you cling to clutter, have a difficult time moving beyond the coat rack. Chi, meet too-muchness. The Feng Shui energy in our home supports us no matter what. We decide on the extent that we are open to accepting this flowing benefit. If our environments are stagnant with clutter and the Chi moves slowly, an uphill climb results rather than flow. If our spaces are clutter-free and clean the Chi freely flits and dances about like so many carefree butterflies. Achieving in life can be a challenge when our surroundings encumber our movement. We would not consider wearing ill-fitting clothes from another era yet we cling to belongings that have outlived their emotional or practical usefulness. Regardless of how our lives look right now, the likelihood exists for an opening to greater abundance in one life area or another. That opening lives in clear, clutter-free spaces. If you are short on clear and clutter-free rest assured, the energy waits for you to ready the space. (Notice Chi patiently sitting outside your door whistling and twiddling its thumbs?) This abundance could be in the form of relationships, health, family, work, a variety of things, and, yes, money too. Some of the abundance might be in the form of ‘stuff’. A difference exists between the old and the new stuff in that what you attract presently better suits who you are today, right now. There are no voids in the Universe, no gaping holes. An empty drawer or room calls for something new to fill the space; something with a better fit than what you just gave up. As you toss the kit-and-caboodle into boxes destined for the thrift shop you may feel like grumbling a little under your breath, let yourSelf do that. These items were accumulated a piece or two at a time and now you are faced with clearing out en masse. Not pleasant. No, no. Keep in mind with the tossing and grumbling, these moments are part of the task to get the Chi flowing. You want a feeling of clarity as this process concludes. Remember the last time you cleaned out closets or the garage? At completion it was not with the clear shelves you were impressed, it was the feeling. You didn’t say “This looks better.” with any sense of excitement; it was the “Wow, this feels great!” that made it worthwhile and caused a shift. Now take off that floppy hat and go shift your life. Welcome in the waiting Chi. Affirmations In gratitude and with an intention to serve. |

| Feng Shui is about acknowledging an energetic component in the items we choose to surround our Selves with. |
"If peace is really what you want, then you will choose peace. If peace mattered to you more than anything else and if you truly knew yourself to be spirit rather than a little me, you would remain nonreactive and absolutely alert when confronted with challenging people or situations. You would immediately accept the situation and thus become one with it rather than separate yourself from it. Then out of your alertness would come a response. Who you are (consciousness), not who you think you are (a small me), would be responding. It would be powerful and effective and would make no person or situation into an enemy." Eckhart Tolle From: |
