breathe in, breathe out

“We are very good at preparing to live, but not very good at living. We know how to sacrifice ten years for a diploma, and we are willing to work very hard to get a job, a car, a house, and so on. But we have difficulty remembering that we are alive in the present moment, the only moment there is for us to be alive.”

“Only the present moment contains life.”

― Thích Nhất Hạnh, Peace Is Every Step

Feng Shui Tips for Travel

Clear the space.

Whether it's a hotel room, a sofa, or your childhood bedroom, there can be residual energies from the people that have stayed there before, or just from the people you're staying with. When you're traveling, you can easily feel sensitive to space as well as foreign energy. By clearing the space, you're just giving the place a little perk to provide a restful and spacious sleeping situation while traveling.

I suggest carrying some space clearing tools with you whenever you travel, such as palo santo or orange essential oil spray. I prefer room sprays when traveling because you're not burning anything. The Holistic Spaces Store sells palo santo sticks, and orange and white sage room mists.

Mind your electronic devices.

It's best to keep electronic devices at least 5 feet away from you while sleeping if possible. It's often challenging to sleep well in a new place, especially while traveling, and EMFs can also affect your ability to receive restful sleep. Paying attention to our devices can also be a big distraction to falling asleep.

Unpack and make yourself at home.

The first thing I do when I arrive at my sleeping destination is unpack! Putting your belongings away in a drawer creates a feeling of ownership and relaxation, rather than the chaos of literally living out of a suitcase. Then I tuck the suitcase away, which makes me feel at home and spacious. Just like you, your belongings deserve to stretch out a bit after a long day of traveling :)

lighting a candle

“It’s such a simple thing to light a candle it changes the whole tone of an experience….If I get the lighting right I can change people’s way of thinking. Predispose them to let the experience wash over them.”  — Alice Waters
