The Elves of Elements of Harmony - December 2008 Newsletter

Greetings! It’s that time of year again when we go into “holiday” mode – everything from parties to gift buying and wrapping to family visits and company staying at the house. During the holidays, the traditional home energy is changed into chaos as we prepare, shop and celebrate the season. Here’s what you can do to maintain some balance at home– and still enjoy the season!

  •  Add the WATER element to your home and activities by taking a few quiet minutes to cool the FIRE of the season. Take a bubble bath, relax in your favorite chair, meditate, take a yoga class. Add WATER to your environment with a water fountain, black accents and reflective surfaces, like mirrors and shiny surfaces.
  • Remain grounded with EARTH energy. Add potted plants in terracotta pots in the house and near the front door, place rugs and runners to stabilize energy in hallways and areas of the house that have a lot of movement and traffic.
  • Position chairs around the fireplace – sit and enjoy the flames with family and friends. Make time during season to have a few calm moments among all of the busy-ness.
  • Maintain order and by adding in the METAL element – gold and silver ornaments and garland, candle holders and picture frames.
  • Budget time for baking, wrapping gift and spending time with friends and family.
  • Get everyone involved - make it a family activity to keep the house in order during this time.
  • Set up a gift-wrapping area in your home with labeled containers for paper, supplies, bows/ribbons.
  • Organize Christmas decorations into ornament containers and store them all together in one area of the attic, basement or designated space.
  • Spruce up your Prosperity corner.
