For those of you who know the Xuan Kong of your living environment, here are some easy ways to activate and charge the energy.

To enhance fire element, smudge your space with Sage, Frankincense or any herb or resin that inspires you. 

To enhance water element, nothing works better than taking a ritual bath or adding a water feature. 

To enhance metal element, air out and declutter. 

To  enhance wood element, spend time planting in your garden or find a beautiful houseplant that you have the time to keep healthy and tend to it. 

To enhance the earth element, add rocks, stones and/or crystals to your environment.

This breathing method  is restorative and creates physical and mental balance.. This form of pranayama calms an agitated mind and invigorates a dull one. This is an excellent breathing method when you need to ground, regroup or center yourself. Click on the link below to learn Nadi Shodhana

When my clients are stressed or just need a 'time out' to reflect, redirect or reaffirm their intentions, this is my 'go to'!   I recommend using 1 cup of sea salts, 1 cup of epsom salts, 10-12 drops of 2-3 essential oils and flowers in colors that are uplifting and/or soothing. Adding a cup of full fat organic milk does wonders for the skin, too! What is important is to set an intention and bring that awareness to your bathing experience. Add candles and music to enhance the experience. I like to listen to these Tibetan singing bowls. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ar9vsmFhJU
