Clearing out hallways

The door and hallway is considered the mouth and throat of the home in feng shui, the ancient Chinese art of furniture placement and energy flow, so if yours is cluttered up with junk, your home is basically choking and you will feel depressed or uncomfortable living there.

Porches and doorsIf you have a porch, sort this area out. If you keep walking shoes and boots here, install a neat shoe rack to...

Author: Mary Lambert

Why is it that clutter seems to build up so easily in our homes? No sooner do you have a clearout than it seems to start creeping back in – one pile appears in the hallway and before you know it, it has spawned other piles that go down the hall and up the stairs. So what actually is the definition of clutter? Basically it is: If you love an item, or it still has a use it’s not clutter, so display it, wear it or store it where you can easily find it. Clearing out your clutter is the...

The Ancient Pathways of Cornwall

Posted on: 05 July, 2005

Author: Simon Mitchell

The Saint's Way in Cornwall is a story written into the land. This ancient route existed long before it was used by saints, taking advantage of the unique shape of Cornwall and its rivers. Evidence (especially Pictish Art forms) suggest that Phoenicians, Egyptians and Greeks journeyed to west coasts of Britain and Ireland even before the Iron Age, in search of Keltic wisdom and trade. They would hit Cornwall and Southern Ireland first. Gold travelled from Ireland through Cornwall and down to the Mediterranean via sea or overland through Brittany to the early centres of civilisation. Before the River Camel...

Global Warming....What Can You Do?

Author: Ellen Gaver

Today I made a decision. There are so many issues confronting us today, from political issues, to health issues, to economic issues, to environmental issues….it’s easy to become overwhelmed and do nothing. Sometimes I feel that there are so many problems in this world, and they are so huge, that my little voice will never be heard, much less have any measurable impact on any of these issues. I know that I am not alone in this feeling. For many years, I have talked about toxins and chemicals and their impact on our health, and I have shared this...

Another Doomsday, Another Dollar: Shifting Science Towards Peace and Ecology

Posted on: 06 June, 2005

Author: Charlotte Laws

In his book, Our Final Hour, Cambridge professor and Britain’s “Astronomer Royal” Martin Rees predicts humanity has no more than a 50/50 chance of survival into the next century and that by 2020 a million people will perish due to scientific error or terror. Some would call him prescient, while others would interpret his words as alarmist, resembling a layer cake with environmental fears on top of nuclear fears on top of chemical and biological threats, ad infinitum. With a sci-fi flare, he warns of runaway technology, human clones and an ability to insert memory chips into the brain. Doomsday...
