Home Sweet Sacred Home

I have spent the past 2 weeks in Northern California in WSFS teacher Karen Abler Carrasco’s home – a place I’ve visited before and have always loved. Karen lives in a wonderful vintage farmhouse she calls Rosie, who is like a “big mother hen protecting her chicks” (Karen’s son David’s description). Rosie is painted a soft buttery yellow with lovely red doors and lots of windows. Her garden is a series of outdoor rooms, offering shady and sunny places to enjoy the many flowers, vegetables, and trees Karen has planted, as well as the pond she and David built together. It is truly a Home Sweet Home.

365 Vacations a Year

Essential Feng Shui observes that most people in western cultures pursue lifestyles that are overly active. Though collectively encouraged, incessant ‘doing’ tips the balance of our health and happiness. Taking the time each day to be becomes our daily vacation. Quietude nurtures the heart and provides us with the space to reflect, dream, and soak up the richness of our inner world. Rest and the fine art of being opens us up to receive and explore sparks of genius that live like polished gemstones beneath the busy surface of life. We dive in and are washed clean. Refreshed, we re-enter the world with our pockets full of deep insights. These insights weave their way into our daily activities and we experience being in sync with the transformational flow of a balanced life.

Here are 2 of my recent journal musings that touch upon this:

The Eternal Dance of Madame Yin & Master Yang

In Feng Shui, balance – the harmonious interplay between opposite forces – is the key to creating happiness. These opposite forces are called Yin and Yang and they define the dual nature of our entire universe. The happiness you strive for – or currently enjoy – is inherent in the delightful “just right” balance between Yin and Yang extremes. You are continually defining your preferences and making adjustments to strike such a balance in your everyday life. Think of the difference between taking a nice warm shower versus a scalding or freezing one; sitting in a beautifully lit room versus one that is blindingly bright or pitch-dark; participating in a friendly conversation versus a stony silence or loud argument. Happiness thrives in the human-friendly conditions of harmony, comfort, pleasure, and beauty; conditions we enjoy when we know how to balance the Yin and Yang qualities of our lives.

Whether you are a woman or a man, you’ll find that both Yin and Yang qualities abound within and around you. They are not gender specific. The strongest, most masculine man in the world has qualities associated with the classically feminine Yin.
