Packing


Moving is, of course, a big thing. Packing with intention, is important. If something was not serving me well (or I didn't even look at it in the 3.5+ years it was in this home), then it doesn't seem like it should come along. So, discretion becomes important. I read an article recently about someone who moved and created a Zen living room. That has appeal to me, but my sister wonders who would get me up off the floor. She forgets that I meditate, typically sitting on my meditation cushion on the floor. I've wondered about guests that come to visit. Some, as they are aging, would barely be able to get down, let alone up.

So I will ponder the Zen living room. At minimum (Zen-ish) it will have to be simple. 12 years ago I visited my yoga teacher in her Zen-like Georgetown condo. It has been embellished in my mind ever since. Simple. Unadorned. Calm, and peaceful. That is the state that I prefer to be in these days. Less, IS more.

Feng Shui by Surprise

Yesterday I drove my almost 84 year old Mother 1.3 hours to Harrisburg. She had an appointment for thermographic imaging (in my opinion, a healthier, radiation free version of a mammogram). Before we opened the door to Gault Wellness Center, Mom stopped to look at the pretty red flowers outside the door. My Feng Shui by Surprise alert system started to ring some bells. When we stepped inside, I could 'feel' the positive energy. Of course, I commented, and Jennifer Gault, M.T. was right there to admit they tried to do their best to make their center comfortable for their patients. I gave her a positive report based on what I saw and felt. A healing yellow with nurturing blue palette graced the walls. The seating was comfy and easy to access. The registration was immediately to the left upon entering, where patients could be interacted with as they came and went; and foremost were the positive outlooks of both Jennifer and her husband, Dr. Thomas Gault, D.C..

All of this was complemented by healthy products in their properly placed display case. Foremost in my vision was an earthfx™ grounding Bed Pad which set off my Bau-biologie alert system. Dr. T and Jennifer then told me about Lance Armstrong's personal doctor who sends an earthfx™ Travel Recovery Bag along with Lance to help ground him to earth energies and allow him to recover as he travels. There were many more items but unfortunately my Mom's appointment was so efficient and I had my own appointments to get back to - that I didn't get to peruse it all. Now, I don't know how many of you find yourself in Harrisburg that often, but you can visit the Gaults virtually at www.gaultwellness.com
