Feng Shui

For my birthday I received a gift certificate for a massage, a much needed one I might add. I woke up late the morning of my appointment, rushed to get there, struggled to find parking and on top of it I was sweating like a pig because it is so hot out here in Tucson, Arizona. Anyway I walked into the establishment which looked nice, but similar to many salon/spas I've seen in my life; over priced hair products and plenty of magazines. As I walked up to the counter the masseuse came over and asked me if I wanted a glass of water or tea, I replied sure. She then showed me the way to the room we would be in. She opened the door and there was a table in this small white brick room. Instantly I was soothed by the aroma, the music and of course the shrine of Buddha there in the far end of the room. Buddha was large and had a small fountain behind it that provided a creek like sound. I instantly turned off my phone and went into zen mode; all because of this environment that she had created. As I walked out I found myself relaxed and content. Then I went to work, its not the work that bugs me, its these stacks of lost papers, the giant metal file cabinets, and mismatched furniture. Good feelings gone, stress on, I just wish I could organize the world or at least the one I am exposed to so that I could feel that calmness all the time. My roommate who is a pack rat laughs at me because I believe in feng shui; laughs until she comes home and says, wow it feel so good in here, did you clean? Nope, just spent some time placing objects in places that make me feel good!
