  Hello Everyone-
  I have to apologize for my "shaky" voice throughout the show...I had swallowed some coffee down the wrong point before I went "live" and I never got my footing back....SORRY!!
  
  Today we discussed the 4 Life Areas that you can activate to help celebrate the upcoming Easter holiday!  First off, I talked about the KNOWLEDGE/Spirituality/Wisdom Life Area, which is found on the closest LEFT corner of the Bagua Board.  This area is activated by the EARTH element, Earth-tones/Blue color and squares.  You can also add ANY religious or spiritual item.  An altar, crucifix....whatever.
  
  Next, I suggested the the FAMILY area.  This area is located on the left-hand side of the Bagua and center location.  It is activated by the WOOD element, the color Green and rectangle shapes.  Here is the perfect spot for family photo-taking/sharing, gatherings and/or your Palm fronds from Palm Sunday mass!
  
  
  ***The University of MN has an EcoFrond program that is Fair-Trade!  Farmers from Mexico and Guatamala are paid a fair price and are encouraged to harvest the palm fronds in a sustainable manner.  This also helps to keep the rainforests in current condition instead of being cut-down indiscriminately.***
  
  Next, the CREATIVITY/Kids area was talked about.  This is the perfect spot to color your Easter eggs and put together your Easter baskets and gift bags!  This area is activated by the METAL element, the color white and the shape of circles.  Go Crazy and Have Fun!!!!
  
  Lastly, I talked about the CAREER/New Beginings/Life Journey Life Area.  This area is located on the lower line, center segment of the Bagua.  This area is activated by the WATER element, the color Black and free-flowing lines.  THIS Life Area is PERFECT for focusing on for Spring as we concentrate on NEW GROWTH, NEW BEGININGS and NEW LIFE (literally!).  Keep this area clutter-free for new energy to flow into and throughout the home.
  
  Here are some Feng Shui Entertaining tips for Easter:
  to help activate the FAMILY area:
  use SOUR food (olives/vinegars) and food s/b steamed or blanched
  i.e. potatoes, fish, barley or white rice, cherry pie, chardonay, earl gray tea and/or apple juice
  CHOCOLATE Pick: dark chocolate & mint
  
  to help activate the NEW GROWTH/Career/Life Journey area:
  use SALTY food and food s/b boiled or simmered
  i.e. soups, fish (it IS a water area!), braised veggies, honey, distilled mineral water
  CHOCOLATE Pick: dark chocolate & lavendar
  
  to help activate the CREATIVITY area:
  use PUNGENT food which should be baked or pressure cooked
  i.e. ginger, garlic mustard, radishes, brown rice
  CHOCOLATE Pick: dark chocolate & orange or grapefruit
  
  to help activate the SPIRITUALITY/Knowledge/WIsdom area"
  use SWEET food (hmmmmm, like chocolate?) which should be poached or stewed
  i.e. corn, peas, syrups, cooked fruits, sweet veggies, chocolate
  CHOCOLATE Pick: dark chocolate and vanilla or melon
  
  Next week, we will talk about Feng Shui Fabulous for the Garden where we will focus more on the New Beginings and New Life that Spring, and Easter, bring into our lives this season...
  
  Until next week, Happy EASTER, Happy SPRING and Happy Feng Shui-ing....
