Shui Organizing Tips for Fall

 

As the days get darker as we move away from the Summer Solstice, an

underlying fent shui theme for the fall is to organize in ways that

will help you be warm and cozy.

 

Start Nurturing Yourself More - Clear the Kitchen

* Clear the clutter from the counters.

* Separate condiments from nutritional supplements.

* Organize your grains to reduce grain moths.

* Make sure you have one nice spot to feed yourself, one nice place

to nourish yourself and those in your family.

* Bring into your kitchen the last of the local produce and

ingredients for healthy soups.

 

Warm Up Your Environment

* Bring some warm tones into the house by switching some throw

pillows or throws; this will make the home feel cozier.

* Pay special attention to bringing some warm colors into your

bathroom so it doesn't feel cold in the winter (if the colors are

cooler to begin with, such as blues).

* Get your heating system checked; clean the chimneys and fireplace;

maintain your hearth.

* Stock up on yellow and orange vegetables for autumn food.

 

Make Seasonal Changes at the Main Entrance, Inside and Out

* Make sure the front door entrance is clear. This is important at

times of seasonal change since we tend to keep things there that we

don't need for the coming season.

 

Get Ready for More Time Indoors

* Organize the area around your desk, since you will be spending more

time indoors.

* If you don't know where to put your piles, put them in baskets.

* Put your favorite books in a nice basket with a cozy throw and

establish a reading nook.

 

Move Out the Old to Welcome the New

* Go through the medicine cabinet and throw out all the medicines

that have expired.

* Donate finished summer reading to the library or hospital.

* Recycle all your old newspapers and all other recycling. (It is

hard to haul a lot in the winter.)

* Go through your closets as you are switching your clothes and take

the time to put clothing aside that you are no longer going to wear

and give it away. Except for formal clothes, if you haven't worn it

in two years let it move out of our life.

 

Establish Some Seasonal Fall Habits

* Flip your mattress to eliminate a groove from sleeping in the same

spot; this is better for your spine.

* Replace your emergency water supply.

* Check your pantry for emergency food supplies (and make sure you

have a non-electric can opener).

* Clean out and check your car, including tire pressure (which

changes at different temperatures.)

* Check your light bulbs and replace with energy efficient light

bulbs so you have enough light for the winter.

 

“Fortunately

art is a community effort - a small but select community living in a

spiritualized world endeavoring to interpret the wars and the solitudes of the

flesh.”

-Allen Ginsberg
