Feng Shui Stress Busters
We love to ask people at our seminars "Does anyone here live a stress-free life?" In seven years, only one person ever raised their hand and they were delusional. If there's any place where traditional Feng Shui techniques fail us, it's in dealing with the new stresses unique to our highly technological societies. Most of these stress-producing culprits didn't exist centuries ago, but there are still Feng Shui solutions.
Chief among these stress creators is the electrical wiring around you. Your body and diet was never designed to deal with so much canned lightning! That's how the body reads the alternating electrical current used in homes, as lightning, because that's the only place it's found in nature. How does it affect you? By making your muscles tighten slightly, but constantly, clamping down on your veins and arteries. If you work on computers and under fluorescent lights, that "AC" current really hammers away at your body.
In response the body relaxes your circulatory system by using the relaxing mineral, magnesium, which it pulls from the muscles and bones. Magnesium's counterpoint is calcium, which makes things tighten. Our diet and taste buds evolved before the creation of these powerful, modern electromagnetic environments, so foods and supplements are much higher in calcium than magnesium. Today, people are going through their magnesium very rapidly.
When you're running low in magnesium, problems like headaches, neck aches, constipation, leg cramps and heart palpitations become part of your daily life. Lots of people think those kinds of challenges are normal. They're not supposed to be! They can all be easily avoided, as long as you simply stop using electricity and never even look at a computer or television again.
Failing that, you can do some things to defend your health against these potent sources of stress. Get extra magnesium in your diet. If you already take a calcium-magnesium supplement, take extra magnesium tablets separately. How much? Until you feel more relaxed and your head and neck aches go away. Usually 700 to 1000 milligrams of extra magnesium is enough. If you take too much, your bowels become loose, at which point just reduce the amount a little, but take it on every day that you're planning on using electricity or having any stress.
Keep electrical devices far away from your very sensitive sleeping body. Throw out your clock radio and replace it with a battery operated travel clock. Even a television or computer on the other side of the wall from a bed or crib can cause a problem. Keep electrical sockets as far from your sleeping head as possible. Don't sit too close to your computer and whenever possible, use a laptop. They create a much smaller electrical field.
Placing plants around electronic devices tends to protect you, although it's difficult for the plants. Rotate your plants often to allow them to discharge. Otherwise your little green friends are going to be totally fried. There are an increasing number of technologies available to neutralize these problematic fields. Place them between you and your gadgets, but remember that distance is your best defense.
Finally, certain herbs help protect the body from radiation: Black Walnut, Astragulus and Kelp are especially helpful as daily supplements. "May you live in interesting times" can be a blessing or a curse, depending upon how well you adapt to change. Electricity is a great helper as long as you adapt well to its demands.
