Exploring and Feng Shui   

Have you ever been detoured along a regular route only to discover something you never knew about the area? As someone who prefers the road less traveled, I come across many of these places while looking for shortcuts or alternate routes to a destination. Whether I'm on foot, behind the wheel or simply out of curiosity, these excursions nearly always end as learning experiences. I've discovered that off the beaten track is where things get interesting. Our senses are heightened in new surroundings as we simultaneously take in the sights, smells and feel of a place. We immediately evaluate our presence there, looking for signs or distinguishing landmarks, calculating the flow or absence of traffic, noting wildlife patterns, landforms and sounds. Unfamiliar places hold our attention longer, allowing us time to process new information. And sometimes we're rewarded with a hidden gem just waiting to be explored.

These elements exist both for and despite each other and contribute to the balance of nature on earth. But they never remain the same. Water flows, wood reaches, fire flares, earth gathers and metal descends. Their boundaries change constantly and over time, their power and control. The fire element is strongest at midday in summer, but wanes in deepest winter when water calms its energy.  In feng shui, we discourage living on dead end streets because energy has no outlet which can limit opportunities.  But on a journey they too have a purpose. A temporary end to your exploration is a pause not a finish and a reminder to stop and reflect before rerouting.
