Power Feng Shui EZine
SEPTEMBER 2010 Dear Friends of Power Feng Shui, Pyramid Feng Shui & Black Hat Tantric Feng Shui & all Friends of Holy Spirit Ch'i (the Cosmic Breath of God). We are delighted to bring you our www.PowerFengShui.info EZine for the month of September 2010. September is the month of the beginning of Autumn and all of the wonderful changes in the Earth. The beauty outside everywhere is astounding. Get outside and experience all of this Autumn joy with a walk, a run, a drive to see the magnificence of the flow of the Ch'i, the Cosmic Breath of God. There is just nothing like the reds, golds, ambers that appear to be painted by the hand of God Himself. I celebrated the arrival of Prince Sakyamuni, "Thinking Bodhisattva" Buddha as he contemplated becoming the Buddha, "The Enlightened One," from the 4th-6th Century. A.D. at the Dallas Museum of Art. They were having a welcoming celebration lecture the first week the new acquisition was placed in the galleries. It happened to be on the same day as the anniversary date my late husband passed away. When I have the anniversary of a day a precious loved one passed away, I always take myself to see something beautiful, creative or uplifting. Celebrating Art, Life, and Creation to me is a truly fitting way to remember a day that in the past may have been sad or a day of loss. Spending time feeling joy and not pain replaces old memories, transforming them to a positive experience in your own life. Try this for yourself. Go somewhere that "Uplifts" you in an exhilarating way. You will only benefit by doing this for yourself.
Dallas Museum of Art: A few of my favorite things....Take yourself & a friend that loves museums to the Dallas Museum of Art if you live in Dallas or to whatever Art Museum is in your vicinity and have a glorious visit with beauty, art, history, gifts from the Gift Shop, lunch or dinner if they offer it, and have a huge "Creative Fire Lift" as you walk among the treasures that celebrate the joy, creativity, & beauty of it all. There is nothing like an afternoon at the Museum. I go several times each year just for the joy of it. If am I having a negative day I just walk through a few Galleries and it becomes the most positive day. There are no negative experiences there. On my Sept. 22nd visit before I left for Indiana I enjoyed a lecture about the new acquisition "Thinking Bodhisattva" Buddha. Below you will see some of my favorite things at the DMA. Hope you enjoy it!
These are only a few of my favorite things at The Dallas Museum of Art. I encourage you to go and enjoy it for yourself. It is a perfect "Spirit Lifting" experience. John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, Sarasota, FloridaThis is truly a spiritual experience with art of the ages housed here from the collection of the Circus owners John & Mable Ringling. Unlike anything I have ever seen. Truly loved it! Been back many times and enjoy it every time I go to Sarasota. It is unforgettable.
Ca D'Zan & Ringling Museum of ArtThe personal palace of John & Mable Ringling where they lived and entertained the most famous, the most wealthy of the world, built in Sarasota,Florida in 1924. These are the best two videos I have seen of the opulence and splendor of this magnificient architectural achievement that was built from a collection of Mable Ringling's postcards she collected on her trips abroad that she shared with the chief architect of this fantastic one of a kind mansion. Original furniture is also on display here.
If you get a chance to see it, it is so worth the trip. Thoughts of Thomas: Druids and HengeYou have probably heard from all the academics that because the Henge builders and the Celts were separated by hundreds of years there was no interaction between the Druids and the Henge. Celtic Druidism was a religion of the Oak and according to most historians their ceremonies' were held in sacred groves. There is no evidence they ever used the circles much less the Henge in any of their religious practice. While this is undoubtedly true, this proves nothing. I don't know of a single person that was there to confirm their theory. Unfortunately there's no one to disprove it either. I believe they not only used the Henges but the Circles as well in the practice of their religion. No doubt they preferred a natural surrounding like an Oak Grove, a natural lake or cave for most of their religious ceremonies but to think they would completely discount these points of power seems unrealistic to me. Their takeover of the British Iles didn't happen over night, so they had years to find out the purpose of the Henge. As for the stone circles they had lived with them for years in Europe, before entering Britain. This line of thinking still doesn't prove they ever used the circles much less the Henge but it does raise the possibility that they did. Its purpose was not unknown to them and both people revered their ancestors. Does it matter to me that my ancestors might not have used the Henge and I do. Not in the least, I just wanted to put before you a different perspective. A little something to think about before you discount my ancient connection to the Henge, as a few Henge purists have suggested. I didn't claim the Henge by ancestral right, it claimed me. It haunted me until I built one. Now it influences my life almost daily. When things are bad I run to it as a child would their mother. When times are good I just enjoy it being there. To think the Druids thought the Henge was just another pile of rocks is truly absurd. Today people come from all over the world to see the Henge and thousands gather before dawn for the Solstice. I doubt any of them have a drop of ancient British blood but still they are drawn to that place. Remember the old adage "build it and they will come" and they have come for thousands of years. Not only to Stone Henge but the stone circles as well, that dot the landscape of Europe and the Middle East. We don't use them now but we are still drawn to them. Even though we're unsure of their original purpose. Most archaeologists and I believe they were used as observatories to calculate the passing of time. That was an undoable part of their function but when you stand in one you realize there is more to them. They are much more than just an ancient clock, they are a point of power. Anyone that has visited an ancient site will tell you there is something unexplainable about them. They speak to everyone on some level and to the gifted the call of the ancestors can be very powerful. A few years ago my wife and I went to Cancun Mexico on vacation or holiday and while we were there we took a side trip to Chunyaxch'e, one of the great cities of the Mayan civilization. I walked the ball court, climbed the snake pyramid and stood on the edge of the sacrificial aquifer. It was a very inspiring experience. Would I use that place to practice my faith. Probably not. This in no way diminishes the power you feel as you walk this ancient city. Why I would not chose any of these sites is their practice of human sacrifice. It was a major part of their religion. While I can feel their power, it doesn't speak to me. I would not feel comfortable performing any ritual in a place that took so many of what I revere most, Human life. I understand the reasoning they must have used, that the ultimate sacrifice would give the ultimate gain. But understanding something and accepting it are two very different things. Human sacrifice was a part of many ancient religions but this practice, in my opinion brought down the old Gods . To sacrifice your own kind is to spite the eye of your Creator, and yes, I believe in a Creator. To believe in the oneness of everything is to believe in a Creator. If we all evolved on our own there is no oneness. By now you must have thought I've lost my train of thought and I'm ranting about things that have nothing to do with Druids and their use of the Henge. What I'm trying to show you is that two philosophically opposed religions would never use the sacred places of the other. They would raze them to their foundations, to build their own place of worship on the foundation of the old. But this did not exist in Europe at that time or today. At that time they were all Pagans, today they are Christians. Before we go any further we must deal with the fact that the Druids supposedly practiced human sacrifice and how I reconcile my feelings about the two, Druids versus the Mayan, first I'm neither. I also don't subscribe to any ancient religion. What records we have of human sacrifice mostly come from Caesar's accounts of his campaign in Gale and they seemed to pertain more to capital punishment than sacrifice. While the Henge has no historical evidence it was ever used as a sacrificial site, to the contrary it was built to honor their ancestors. The Druids undoubtedly used the wild places for most of their ceremonies. It seems inconceivable to me they would not use what the ancient Brit's left them, to honor their ancestors. It all comes down to the ultimate truth, no one knows and probably never will. What I know is the Henge gives me peace and power, while the other gives me power and pause, for I sense the dark side in these places. More than likely none of my ancestors ever worshiped at Stone Henge, but they did worship at the circles. They in all probability didn't know of its existence but I do. Thomas

Salt Lamps Dramatically Change the EnergiesLeigh-Ann of Leigh-Ann@lifeaquarian.com has a Salt Lamp link on her website where she sells them. She even names each one as she is spiritually inspired to do so. When I saw "Victory" I simply KNEW I had to have it. She graciously installed it in my office window, in the Wealth/Empowerment corner while I am in Indiana. Salt lamps, more than just a piece of functional art, are known as “Nature’s Air Purifier.” They provide relief for a variety of ailments by ridding the air of approximately 80% of pollutants caused by electronics, pet dander, allergies, and other sources of smog. In addition to their healing abilities, they also promote a relaxing environment with their soft ambient glow. As the chandelier light bulb inside the lamp begins to heat up, negative ions (the good guys) are released into the air. They attach to positive ions (the bad guys) and thus neutralize the air by removing irritating pollutants. I am so delighted with this to change to energies right under Jesus and all of the fresh Ch'i that is blasting into my office there at the front of the Church. Victory is a perfect name for it. I am thrilled with this. Have also noticed that my mental clarity & organization of thoughts, tasks, etc. have improved although I am almost 1,200 miles away. Money is changing too. The energies in your own office directly affect your outcome in your life. Thank you Leigh-Ann for this positive energy Victory Icon Salt Lamp. Will be adding these to my web sites Shopping Carts soon. Excellent Feng Shui!

She read me perfectly.
