Holiday Storage and Tantalizing Your Holiday
By: Janet L. Hall
The holidays are generally filled with laughter, joy and gift giving; however this is also a good time to evaluate what you are using or not using for storing and preserving your holiday decorations.
It’s also a time when we engage all of our senses through smells of candles and baked goods. With sights of lights and colorful and shiny objects, and don’t forget watching and feeding animals. Through sounds of chimes and music and tasting fresh baked goods. A time for different textures and colors and a time for gathering and giving thanks.
With all this in mind I offer you the following items:

What kind of an environment are you trying to produce or experience: one that is exciting, Yang, or one that is calming, Yin? Couples should be aware that the bedroom should be more Yin – somewhat dark and quiet – to ensure not only a blissful rest, but also a safe, loving, and honored space in which they can be their selves.
The energy of your bedroom or space is evoked through what you see, hear, smell, feel, and how you move through the space. Some refer to this energy as Chi, which is what you experience when you are in a space.
Every space has it’s own unique sight (views, colors, shapes), sound (noise, movement), smell (odor), and feel (texture of fabrics). Energy – it’s all around us!
To help ensure calm and harmony, couples need to honor each other’s individuality by providing space in their bedroom that allow each person’s personal needs to be obtained. However, bringing in the “office,” computer, exercise equipment, or television can cause your bedroom to have too much Yang, too much energy and over stimulation, which can cause restlessness and disharmony. Placing pictures of people that bring bad memories, or any unsettling pictures, such as a boat being tossed about on wild seas are not desirable items for your place of refuge either.
If you are having difficulty sleeping your bedroom might be too Yang. Maybe your sex drive is out of gas, which could be caused by an overabundance of Yin or using incorrect shapes, colors, odors, or textures in your bedroom.
Soft, cushy bedding and fabrics can help create a Yin bedroom that will be harmonious, loving, and supportive. Speaking of supportive, make sure your bed has a headboard that you can comfortably rest against. A supportive headboard relates to support in your relationships.
Introducing muted mid tone colors (Benjamin Moore Paints Pink Eraser arouses sexual thoughts), cool temperatures (leave a window cracked or turn down the air temperature), lavender scent, which is sleep inducing, or Jasmine that speaks of harmony and desire will also help you obtain a more Yin space.
When looking around your bedroom make sure what you are seeing promotes the quality and feeling of the life you are “dreaming” of. Play around with colors, smells, shapes, and textures until the desired result is achieved.
Start by removing all clutter, unused items, or items that cause unhappiness, bad memories, or that agitate you!
Using your intuition or gut feeling, add, move, or remove things in your space until you “feel” what you are trying to achieve in your space. And to create intrigue and mystery for a special night throw on some black satin sheets!
Rhythms and Cycles: Connecting the Pieces of Your Life
By: Janet L. Hall
Wouldn’t you agree that we all have certain rhythms in our daily life and that we all go through many of the same stages, cycles, and ’seasons’ of life? We are continuously evolving, as is Mother Earth.
I feel the start of Spring is one of the most beautiful stages of evolving. Change is every where you look: Tress budding. Flowers and plants reappearing. Animals giving birth. Birds creating new homes. Insects emerging from their cocoons of hibernation and transformation. Fish spawning. Reptiles shedding their skins. Rocks and soil being turned over. The season is changing. Mother Earth is changing and so can you!
Spring symbolizes birth, new beginnings, and starting over. It is the revitalizing cycle of all on Mother Earth, including you. Spring can mean a new beginning for you and an end to your clutter and chaos if you take some action.
I hear your desire to change, I know you want to get out of the chaotic cycle you are in, and I know you have uncertainty as to where to start.
You know that if you could just find yourself and organize your spaces that everything else will come together. Everything in your life will start to fit – like pieces of a puzzle – the pieces of your life can become connected again, forming a picture of how you want your life to be, if you take some action, moving around the pieces until they all fit snugly together, creating beauty, calm, and joy.
What pieces of your puzzle are missing? What pieces of your puzzle are you ‘forcing’ to fit into your life? What pieces of your puzzle are continually becoming disconnected?
The pieces of your life that you are disconnected from can be physical and psychological. If you feel like you are fighting an uphill battle, could this be caused by chronic fatigue, Fibromyalgia, depression, bipolar, manic depression, OCD, ADD, overwhelm, lack of scheduling or a mountain of other problems?
Reconnecting the pieces can help you restore harmony and balance in your life.
Reconnecting with the natural world, yourself, and others can help you see things in your surroundings differently. Causing you to take action, such as spring cleaning or sorting through your piles of stuff once and for all.
Let’s look at how you can reconnect to nature so you can reconnect to yourself by becoming aware of your personal cycles and rhythms of the days, nights, and seasons?
By becoming aware of your own cycles and rhythms you can begin to work with what you are capable of doing, when you can, so you can begin to plan your days and nights.
Change the rhythms of your life by taking some time for yourself and you will find you will have more energy and focus to accomplish the things you want to do.
Go outside, by yourself. Take at least 15 minutes or more for yourself each and everyday and choose from one of the following:
-
Sit outside: on the porch, under a tree, by the water. Sit, listen and observe.
-
Go for a walk: around the yard, down the street, in the woods. Walk, listen, and observe.
Ask yourself: “What will it take to get me to take action, get help, and get back into my own rhythm of life?”
Listen and start taking action and I guarantee the pieces of your life will eventually start fitting together again.
I’ll be waiting to hear from you and I’m here to help in any way I can.
