In Times of Insecurity and Worry... Find Comfort

During times of worry and insecurity:

Seek soothing yin energy '- choose flowing lines and soft, graceful forms.
Fill elegant crystal vases with blooming roses and other fragrant flowers.
Create cozy, comforting nooks with soft cushions and reassuring sunlight.
Combine warm, amber hues with deeply soothing shades of pink and rose.
Provide soft, diffused lighting.
Cover floors with colorful, woven rugs.
Develop a motif of repeated patterns and colors.
Display family photographs, paintings and treasured artifacts.
Store newspapers and magazines out of sight.
Remove televisions from bedrooms, kitchens and dining areas.
