Even though I have been traveling and working overseas for the past 5 weeks, I wanted to take this opportunity to wish you a Happy Christmas and New Year during the Holiday Season.
- Create a colorful Christmas
Traditionally Christmas Colors are red and green… BUT… Having a balance of bright colors brings brightness and cheer to the Christmas Season and environment. In particular adding a balance of all colors to the front door, the Christmas table or the living space brings more harmony and lightness to the Christmas Season… A balance of all color includes Red, Pink, Purple, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Gold and/or Silver in vibrant hues [rather than pastel hues]. - Decorate Your Home with Natural Christmas Items
Adding natural decorative items around the home such as Pine Cones; Real Christmas Tree [Branches] a few Sprigs of Holly brings a very grounded earthy feel to Christmas and New Year Season…. It also helps to put us in touch with mother nature, the Christmas experience of “Peace on Earth” and it prepare us for the newness and freshness of a Brand New Year. - Create Harmonious Furniture Arrangements Creating Harmonious Furniture Arrangements within our home and Christmas and New Year helps us to create more harmony at this special Holiday time. When arranging furniture the L and U shaped seating arrangements are the friendliest. Arrangements to avid are when seats are positioned exactly opposite each other (as this a very competitive and unfriendly arrangement). And if you’re sitting at a table, having people flanking each table side is the best.
- Fill Your Home with Earthy Christmas Smells…
Fill your home with earthy smells: Cedar wood, Rosewood, Lavender, Patchouli, Mahogany, Sage, Rosemary, Orange, Grapefruit – all beautiful for bring newness to any home… An easy way to arrange these in a very interesting way is to add a different fragrance to each room and even two or three fragrances to large sized rooms… - Create Vibrant Lighting Effects… Christmas and New Year are such a perfect excuse for adding magical lighting effects to our homes. Candles, fairy lights and other special lighting effects brings an aliveness to the environment in a way that it revitalizes and freshens all of our interactions and the way we live [in the environment]. Moving lights stimulates activity within us and can make us restless at times… but mellow still lighting such as ornate sting lighting brings a lot of comfort and ambience.
- Remember Loved Ones at their Best
For some people, spending the Christmas Season with family is like Heaven and for others it’s Hell… Families can bring out the best and the worst in all of us. But, at the end of the day these are the unique people we were born to be with. They help us to learn a lesson or share a lesson… and appreciating the Specialty of that at Christmas and the Holiday New Year Season brings you into harmony with yourself and everyone around you.Most Important, have a lovely Christmas and New Year in this Happy Holiday Season.
Take time out to enjoy a good rest time, share good company and be with the people you love…Best Wishes for a Happy Christmas and New Year during this special Holiday Season
