Prepare Your Home and Yourself for the New Year with Feng Shui

Image
As the New Year approaches, you may find yourself pondering the past year and you may be counting your blessings or thinking about what you could have done differently. If you're like me, you might do a little of both. Whatever the case, it's important to start the New Year off on a positive, hope-filled note. This can include everything from stocking the refrigerator to clearing out old junk from the closets. If you miss the January 1st deadline, don't worry: the Chinese New Year isn't until the third week of January, so you've still got time. To greet the New Year, set aside a couple of hours to give your house, bedroom, or office a New Year Blitz. Just remember, you are inviting a very special guest to your house: The New Year. So treat your house the way you would a very important dignitary. This is a new year of your life so welcome it in a grand way. Take the list below in hand and check off the items one by one. Remember to get everyone in the house...

From the earliest fairytales of genies and fairy godmothers, we all have wishes that we would love to see magically happen. Luckily in feng shui there is a wonderful technique for activating the energies associated with all of the usual aspirations that everyone wants: love, wealth, health, happiness, good fortune. It involves using gems and crystals, and when used correctly, can almost magically bring about anything you desire. Gems and crystals are powerful symbols of our earthly desires and they are powerful activators.

These stones are widely regarded as storehouses of this beautiful earth energy - and potent objects to ground your deepest desires and help them come to fruition. Don't believe me? Think about one of the most common gem activators. This one is an activator of love and commitment. It's called an engagement ring. The size, quality, and ...

What Your Health Says About Your Life

Body's Feng Shui When we want to read our environment to learn more about our lives, feng shui helps us to understand what our environments are saying about our business success, our family, our health and our relationship happiness. What's fascinating about the study of feng shui is to see the correlation between our lives and our bodies. In addition to reading our spaces to tell us where we can improve our lives, we can also look at our bodies to gain better understanding of our lives and our happiness. Many times before we take a big step in our life - especially a step that requires our faith and courage - we become ill. Illness isn't always a sign that something's wrong; it's often a sign of growth. It's our body's way of "pulling in" and helping itself to marshal its full energy before taking on a big endeavor. To put it another way, we often break down before we break through. Start paying attention to when your body breaks down. I...

According to Benjamin Franklin, early to bed and early to rise was supposed to make us healthy, wealthy and wise. And Ben Franklin was right. He understood the importance of proper rest and being industrious and productive during our daylight hours. There's no arguing that a good night's sleep makes you feel like you can take on the world. Having enough sleep will make you less prone to disease, more effective in your job, a more pleasant person to be around and in feng shui, more likely to have romance  and wealth. Besides the front door, the second most critical area in feng shui is the bedroom. For the foundation of good health, the bedroom that's arranged well and optimally for sleep is also the bedroom that is also arranged best for romance and has relationship enhancing qualities. Perhaps equally important, a bedroom that's arranged well preserves wealth. A bedroom that isn't often sees the occupants' fortunes drained away, and their health an...
