A small group in Taos and I talked this morning about anticipatory design and herbs/essential-oils. Our discussion lead to the use of the phrase “conscious placement”.
Using Goggle we find the following:
Create
a Sacred Space (Fall

"Silence is the altar of the spirit." Yogananda quoted from The Path by J.
Donald Walters
In this era of intense activity, too much information and overwhelming stimulation, one craves silence and alone time. We want time just to be, to slow down, to meditate. We want to get in touch with the infinite source to know deep peace.
A small room completely dedicated for this purpose as a meditation room or temple is ideal. But if you do not have this luxury a corner of a bedroom partitioned with a screen will do just fine. Create an altar with a small table or even bricks and boards covered with a beautiful cloth. Choose pictures of saints or teachers who inspire you, crystals and gifts from nature such as shells, stones, feathers or fresh flowers. Keep your altar simple and clutter free.
Before praying or meditating in your "temple" take time to clear the energy by chanting a mantra such as Om, using incense of smudge or saying a prayer. It is also very important not to talk while in your meditation space--it will dissipate the vibration.
As you meditate over and over in this space a vibration will begin to build. Eventually you will be able to feel deep peace just by entering your sacred space and sitting down to meditate and others may also comment on feeling this vibration.
We note also that the phrase “conscious placement” is used in a advanced and new form of hash table technology (see {**} and {^^} )
In our AIC based discussions leading to virtualTaos formation, we mean simple that the space used in the Tea and Herbs shops be arranged in an anticipatory fashion (as discussed by David and Scott).
As is layout of the virtualTaos space
Design for virtualTaos Headquarters
We want to use the Feng shui concepts of conscious placement to develop the virtual Taos space.
In our design for the virtualTaos space at the Indian Hills Inn, the back converted to a private office and computer lab. The private office will have a shower and bathroom, a place to sleep and a kitchen (across the back wall.) A canvas oil storage bin and workspace will be in the front room, along with the Taos Herbs and Tea Shop ™. Display walls will be built to provide privacy and display to the outside Paseo Del Pueblo Sur. These display walls will be inside and house digital displays or original paintings.
Two deep heated fishponds will be lighted and provide an attractive framing for the Display Walls.
The next beads will be made after I get myself and Kelly settled in the Big Bend area. ŕ [57]
