Ask Conscious Design ~


Dear Conscious Design Magazine

As one of my New Year's resolutions I would like to lose some excess unhealthy weight.
Is there anything I can do in my living space to help me?

Dear CF,

One of the greatest gifts in understanding conscious design and feng shui is the connection we have with
our environment.
We can truly support our wishes and dreams by working from the "outside in."

Here are some suggestions:

  


Lavender, both the color and the scent can reduce cravings. Lavender is often used to assist people battling alcohol addiction and can work miracles with sugar cravings. One of our clients painted her kitchen lavender and lost 40 pounds. The essential oil of lavender can be diffused in the home to reduce hunger and invite calm.

  
Shape also has a large impact on us and is often overlooked as a strategy. A square shaped dish will contain the appetite. The color blue also reduces hunger and appetite, so we recommend using a blue colored plate for meals.
  
Water is vital to weight loss. Using a red crystal glass for drinking will stimulate digestion and support the base chakra in survival and self esteem. Red glasses for weight loss were recommended back in the 1970s by astrology guru Linda Goodman in her book Star Signs. She also recommended eating red colored foods to stimulate digestion.
  

 

Check your room to see what symbols and messages you have around your kitchen and dining room. One friend that was working on her weight loss goals had a kitchen filled with country cows. Unless we choose to look like a cow, we may want to find images that are slim, streamlined, moving, joyful, and healthy.

 

 

Good luck from all of us at the Conscious Design Magazine.
