I am a Christian, and yet I’ve explored many of the Buddhist philosophies within the study of feng shui. I had no intention of bringing a Buddha into my house, converting to Buddhism or starting a shrine. So, I’m a little reluctant to admit how much I am enjoying his company.

Q: Kathryn, I remember you talking about energy rings a few months ago and you mentioned something about using them to be more cheerful in the gloomy months. Can you elaborate on this topic?

My phone is charging in the hallway instead of my bedside table, and the laundry is out of sight. I am wide awake at 3am every morning and I just can’t function!
