Decorating For Fame, Good Reputation and Recognition-WYNDESONG’S PLACE- NISHA DESIGNS

Decorating Your Space For Fame, Good Reputation, and Recognition

The area of your home that will assist you in activating your fame and good reputation which are the foundation for success is the south. There are several ways to activate the energy of fame in the south of your home. It may be done by hanging a bright light that shines upward in that area of the house. A bright light that lights the whole southern corner gives the sense of upward moving energy. If lighting is a problem for the southern corner of your house fire in that area in the form of candles or a fireplace that you use will work. If you can not use any of the above methods then try to find a picture or statue of a phoenix some substitutes for that proud bird are the peacock, a picture, sculpture, or even peacock feathers worked into a flower arrangement will work. The most auspicious colors for the southern corner are red, bright yellow, or white which may be reflected in the furnishing. The feathers of the peacock are used to symbolize attainment that is associated with being recognized. You may energize the south by taking the whole house into consideration or you may do this in your living room or your office… It is best to activate this energy in a room that is used for daytime activity.
Why is being recognized important? If you own a business of any kind then you know that recognition means more customers. If you are a student or athlete etc..recognition will help you advance in your chosen field.
Some examples of pieces that you can use in the southern corner of your home to activate your fame, good reputation, and recognition.

Love is in the air, and not just for humans! Explore the courtship, grooming and everyday behaviors of some iconic New Jersey wildlife. Don’t forget to take notes, as these species know the secret to lasting relationships.

Northern Cardinals

Crimson male cardinals are not only perpetually suited up in the color of passion, but they are also on to what really warms the heart of their beloved: food and gifts! Cardinals, which pair up for life, engage in mate feeding as part of their quest for (and maintenance of) a companion.

Bobcats

Dancing cheek to cheek is a bobcat-endorsed love strategy—they rub their faces on potential mates (as well as offspring) to signal “be mine!”

Horseshoe Crabs

There is a reason that horseshoe crabs have been around for 300 million years. They know the value of a moonlit stroll on the beach!

Black Bears

Studies show that hugging increases bonding for people—and maybe also for bears? Black bears hug each other as cubs when playing, and when adults as part of the courtship ritual.

American Woodcocks

Wisdom from woodcocks: a little effort goes a long way when it comes to impressing a mate. Males of this species are true winged wooers, staging an elaborate show of singing, aerial acrobatics and feather ruffling in pursuit of their love interest. 

AMERICAN WOODCOCK Beginning in late March, males seek out woodland openings and clearings at dawn and dusk, when light levels are just right, to sing and display for females for about one hour.

Red Fox

Red fox pairs are lifelong partners, and even when mating season is over they meet to socialize and share food. Because no matter how long you’ve been together, making time for a one-on-one dinner is always a good way to reconnect.

River Otters

Good grooming habits are essential for making the right impression. River otters are fastidious about their coats, maintaining their natty appearance by rolling in snow, mud or vegetation.

Osprey

Leave the kids at home for your romantic date. Take it from paired-for-life osprey parents who let chicks rest in the nest while they fly off to hunt—the noisy calls, fishy demands, and spontaneous wing-spreading of your cute, but ungainly, offspring does nothing to enhance the mood.

Weekly Magick of Symbolism- Action

Magickal Properties of Action: Is Being: When my higher mind was weeding my small dwarf spruce tree my higher mind made me aware of the action. Asked what the action my higher mind was taking is doing? and I replied it is weeding out what is not needed on the tree. Like cutting the dead branches. And so, what does this taking action mean symbolically, she asked? And then it dawned on me that the action meant that I was also weeding everything out of my own life at the same time that which does not belong to my higher mind and trueself. Another way to release and let go. If I wasn’t aware of this, I would have lost the magickal opportunity that the tree was offering me with some extra booster dose to weed things out of my life that I was holding onto. This way it was easy for me to let go because of my awareness in its symbolic message. The magick of the tree and my higher mind makes it possible to just let go. So, by becoming aware of our actions, we get to see what the action represents symbolically. Is it creating what you want or is it creating what you don’t want in your world? What is your action showing you wanting you to be aware of? Pay attention to your action is when you will know whether your higher mind is in control, or you have stepped in and taken control from your higher mind.

Life is symbolic including our physical form. What we say, our doing, our choices, actions are sacred and symbolic in nature. Every action has a purpose, sacredness to it. Being mindful of your action and then putting intention behind your actions makes you aware of your choices, aware of your higher mind and soul and keeps those negative worries, concerns, emotions and feelings out. It is about taking charge of you, being in control of you, being responsible, not letting things slide, being in the knowingness, mindfulness, sacred, symbolic process, creating, giving birth to new beginnings, gratitude, love, magick, healing.

The other thing about action is who is taking the action? is it your higher mind and soul or the body has taken control from higher mind? Be aware of the who. When actions are done by higher mind and trueself it always serves the greater good of the environment and the balance between order and chaos and creates magick. Be your trueself!
