Exercises in Awareness: Shapes and Patterns

Step outside and look around with the intention of noticing shapes and patterns.  Look up - find the shapes within a tangle of tree branches.  Look down - see the rounded horizon where white snow meets what's beyond.  The spiral of a shell, the crystal perfection of a snowflake.  Organic geometry.

Has Your ecoBowl Grown a White Velvety Surface?

If so, congratulations!  You are experiencing one more reminder that your ecoBowl is organic and made by Mother Nature herself.  The white velvety substance is called Bloom and is actually honey crystals.  If you prefer your ecoBowl shiny, simply empty and rinse with very warm water.  This will melt the crystals and Voila!

Here's a little more about honey and the amazing bees that make the sweet magic happen!

Honey Bee Feng Shui Tip of the Day

Luminescent Spirit of the River ecoBowl

Placing water in your home is very beneficial because when coming into your home, Qi looks for water to help it stay.  Remember, wind carries and scatters Qi but water retains it.

Our Spirit of the River Honey Bee ecoBowl is an easy way to incorporate water into any room of your home and also benefit from another Honey Bee Feng Shui truth: candlelight is always best.

Key Principles of Honey Bee Feng Shui

HARMONY.

From the late 14th century, Middle English armonye, Old French armonie, Latin and Greek harmonia.  Meaning: agreement, means of joining, framework, agreement of feeling, concord.

As you know, Feng Shui, literally translated into english, is "wind-water." This is a shorthand, taken from this passage from Zangshu, or Book of Burial, by Guo Pu:

Qi rides the wind and scatters, but is retained when encountering water.

 The goal of Feng Shui is to create harmonious spaces by enhancing the positive flow of Qi, or Life Force, using Nature's elements.  This, in turn, creates harmony in our lives.  Remember the law: when your space changes, you change too - so best to pay close attention to the ways in which you, or others, change your space!  And, don't forget - harmony is a relationship, not a one-way street.  Harmony is not created at the expense of others, or at the expense of the earth. 

Exercise in Awareness

Pick a room that you spend a lot of time in - your office, your kitchen, your living room.

Next, make a list of the objects in that room you touch on a usual basis.  Pens, utensils, counter tops, phones, keyboards, couches, light switches, carpet, etc.

Make a note next to each object in your list with the material that object is made of.  Is it plastic?  Is it wood?  If it's wood, is the wood covered in a poly finish?
