Dreaming Your Sacred Space – Part 2
In the previous article I wrote about creating your Dream Book with images you have seen. The next step is in writing down everything that comes to you about the type of space you would love to live or work in. Just let it flow thru you. Dream about what you desire, write down anything that you can imagine.

Dreaming Your Sacred Space – Part 1
Have you ever entered a wonderful hotel or flipped through the pages of your favorite magazines and thought “I would really love to live in a space like that”? Can you go back in your minds eye and re-create what it was about those spaces that moved you so deeply? Was it the style of furniture, the colors, the way pieces were laid out, the flowers, the music? Did the space feel warm and comforting? Was it homey and had a lived-in look? Was it modern yet still inviting? Was it quiet and still or lively and fun? Was the space understated or was it filled with things and nick-knacks? What was the quality of light? Did the space work better with natural sunlight filtering through or was it the glow of lights in the evening? Did it feel good both in the day as well as the evening?

Is Feng Shui Right For You or Is It Time To Trust Yourself?
In my last article I mentioned that I am not much of a follower of rules. I have never been drawn to Feng Shui, although I am sure that for some people it is the best thing that has ever happened to them. Along the way, I have heard so many contradictory theories that it has created doubt in me as to the quality of some practitioners. My concern has been that although many of these people had their hearts in the right place and wanted to learn this in order to help others, they may have unknowingly attended courses that not only did not last long enough to fully comprehend the fullness of this study, but were taught by those who quite possibly would not have been considered qualified to teach by the masters themselves.

A Conversation with Spirit
I have been going back and forth in my mind if I should write about this experience or not, especially since it doesn’t appear to have anything to do with home, but when I listened to Jennifer’s August 1, 2009 Ho’oponopono healing session with someone, the similarities were just too great for me to ignore. I am trusting Spirit that this is something that I should share, so here I go.

Conscious Designing
I had long ago been shown that death as I had known it did not exist. So when my big
brother, who also was my best friend, was dying, it was relatively easy to let him go
because I knew that his pain would be over once he left the physical realm. Even if I
couldn’t see him, I knew he really wasn’t going away. What I was totally unprepared for
was the loss of my business partner.

“Mary As Home”
Usually when Spirit wants to talk to me it is either upon waking, before I’ve had a chance to start thinking, or while I am taking my morning shower. I don’t know what it is about the shower but it seems to be the place where I receive inspiration.

My Home Forgiveness
I just had an amazing breakthrough and feel inspired to share this with all of you. I have become increasing interested in Ho’oponopono since meeting Jennifer and I’ve finally started reading Joe Vitale’s “Zero Limits” where he talks about Ho’oponopono and Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len who is the major teacher of this technique.

The Spirit of The Home
I recently attended a workshop with Marianne Williamson & Deepak Chopra. Marianne’s opening was to confirm what I have long suspected. She said that we have read all of the books and have attended more than enough lectures. We don’t need to learn anything more, the information is there within us. One of my favorite lines was “God cannot do for us what he can’t do thru us”, which is the essence of my purpose in writing about Conscious Design and The Spirit of the Home.

Creating a Sanctuary for Yourself and Others
I just finished listening to Neale Donald Walsch of the “Conversations with God” book series. In his forthcoming book, “When Everything Changes, Change Everything” he talks about peoples tendencies to isolate themselves when they are going through rough patches. He spoke of the time that rather than calling his father for help, he stayed homeless for close to one year.

Biography for Leslie Harris
I have a degree in Fine Arts and Design (painting, ceramics, photography, graphics, woodworking, etc.) I studied Architecture for a couple of years but realized that my true love was Interior Design which I have been practicing since I received my BA degree. It’s the perfect profession for me because I can make use of all that I studied in college + more.
