Welcoming Rhonda Lanier
Written By: Mary Abranyi - Cashiers Valley Fusion | Issue: 2018/12 - December
Rhonda has been an interior designer for almost 28 years and with that experience she has become very skilled at reading the energy in a space.
Even after all this time, Rhonda is still amazed by the correlation of what goes on in our lives and how that is reflected in our living and working spaces.
Our physical spaces hold the energy that we create with relationships, finances, health, work and wisdom. In the same way that energy fields surround our bodies, energy fields also surround living spaces.
When hired for a project, whether It’s a design project or to perform an energetic clearing of a space, Rhonda will start by implementing the principles of Feng Shui. This supports that the space and occupants are balanced, blessed and prosperous.
Feng Shui is sometimes thought to be the art of placement. It’s a matter of understanding how the placement of yourself and objects within a space can affect your life in various areas of experience. Feng Shui is a complex body of knowledge that teaches us how to balance and harmonize with the energies in any given space, be it a home, office or even a garden. Its aim is to assure good fortune for the people inhabiting a space.
Feng Shui is an ancient art and science that was formalized over 3,000 years ago in China, with some elements dating as far back as 6,000 years ago. In literal translation, Feng means “Wind” and Shui means “Water.” In Chinese culture, wind and water are associated with good health, thus good Feng Shui came to mean Good Fortune.
It also contains elements of various branches of scholarly study, including physics, philosophy, astronomy, and astrology. It’s related closely to the taoist vision and understanding of nature, particularly the idea that the land is alive and filled with chi, or energy.
This energy within us and our personal spaces are often interrupted during the holiday season as we find ourselves working to accommodate potential travel, guests, and the overall stress of “giving.” The irony is that this wonderful time of year can also be very draining energetically so, just in time for the holidays, Rhonda is holding an “Energy Awareness & Self-Care Workshop” at Cashiers Valley Fusion on Sunday, December 2.
