Feng Shui Sensuality with Candlelights
Due to recent world events, we are feeling the need for Feng Shui Sensuality™more than ever in the comfort of our own homes.
When life is chaotic, home is the place to reconnect our rational minds with the feelings in our bodies – to bring forth stability and calmness while also lifting our spirits.
And what is the most wonderful way to accomplish this – through enhancing our very primal Feng Shui Sensuality™!
The fireplace, or hearth, has always been a place where we felt Feng Shui Sensuality™ and the connectedness of home. But now, we have so many ‘spare the air days’ or new buildings with no fireplaces allowed, that we must use other symbols in lieu of the warmth of fire for nourishment and safety to comfort us.
Are candles the next best thing to enhance the Feng Shui Sensuality? They could be, but it is not just about the candle.
It is about all the rituals and traditions that go along with the lighting of the candles. Various religions have used the practice for centuries. Children love the sheer magic of candles! Older children can pass on the practice, of lighting them to younger siblings. An annual marker of ‘coming of age’.
As the candles are lit with the setting sun, or at the beginning of dinner, we can look around us and be mindfully aware of our many blessings. Then we can share our gratitude for all the non-material things in life that are meaningful to each of us.
In addition to traditions, science has discovered that what we remember most in later life, is not always what we see, but the memorable aromas associated with pleasant experiences of Feng Shui Sensuality™.
It may be a whiff of an exotic flower from a tropical garden, or the very special (no chemical) scent captured in a burning candle, the apple pie in the oven, or the fragrance of all the spices in an Indian outdoor bazaar.
You can create memorable aromas this holiday & every day too
