Earth and sky are a classic example of the yin and yang of Feng Shui and no more perfectly seen in balance than at daybreak on a trail in Colorado’s San Juan Mountains. If you are lucky enough to live in Colorado you will know about our amazing mountains over 14,000 feet high.

The five elements of Feng Shui play out wherever we are – whether we’re at home or traveling and staying in new places. They make up the energy of everything – both yin and yang. The elements are Fire, Earth, Metal, Water and Wood and are expressed in a variety of ways. In places where the elements are balanced, we feel more relaxed; we let our guard down; we allow ourselves to explore new feelings and new ways of being. We’re open – not defensive.

Feng Shui teaches balance and provides practical solutions for achieving it – Yin and Yang. Yin and Yang are opposites, but so integrally aligned they don’t exist without the other. Neither is greater or less than the other. Both are equally important and equally support each other. Each holds the nature of the other to create balance and harmony.

I know that this month the parking lot will be full at the fitness club. All the people who resolved to work-out to lose weight and be healthy will be there and that’s a good thing. I applaud them and anyone who begins a new regime because there is powerful energy in beginnings. We save January to start that project because there is just something about this month that inspires the grand gesture. So here’s my suggestion for a grand gesture to begin and you don’t even have to go out into the cold to get started: put your house on work-out schedule to lose weight: clean out your closets, your storage shed, and your garage.
