The golden ratio and feng shuiWritten by Jakob Jelling
The golden ratio is a very important concept in feng shui due to way it implies aspects of balance and perfection of shapes. Feng shui is based on search for harmony between human beings and environment in which they are. Feng shui is always looking for balancing elements and objects which surround living beings and compose their environments. The environments in which human being lives often tend to become unbalanced and loose its natural harmony due to way in which he modifies it and adds artificial elements to it. Feng shui provides guidelines and knowledge necessary to reestablish natural balance which human beings as well as all living beings need to surround them and golden ratio is a constant always present in this natural balance. The environment in which human being lives is made of natural elements and shapes. The golden ratio is a rule that can be often found in many elements of nature as well as in artificial objects made by man. This way, it can help achieving desired harmony by being used along with feng shui balancing elements and objects.
| | Spring ThinkingWritten by Paul Griffitts
Spring is springing here in Pacific Northwest plants and trees are blooming. When Spring is here in full force in Pacific Northwest, temps rise to 60 in day time and only drop to high 40’s at night. Everything is blooming and ski season is over even if it never got started. A water emergency has been declared because of low snowfall and lack of rain this past winter. This means that we will see some sort of rationing and water districts can raise prices ad hoc. Pollen fills air and I have to take two allergy pills a day now. Spring is here and all this negativity, why? Only to demonstrate that there can be a downside to everything one thinks which means there can be an up side to thinking as well. Lets try upside now. Spring is here and Magnolia trees are blooming brilliant white, oriental fruit trees teaming with bright pink blossoms are stunning as you drive past. The warm afternoons feel so comfortable that only a t-shirt is needed. The hot chocolate mochas turn into iced mochas and decks are swept clean and chairs washed down for evening beverages with good friends in twilight.
