Not since Madonna has anyone caused a stir in the world of pop music like Lady Gaga has. And with a name like Lady Gaga, is it any wonder? Her name, a reference to the Queen song, "Radio Ga Ga," is herself a controversy and is referred to in the media both as a ground breaking artist and a shock value put on. But whether you like her music or not, you can't deny that Lady Gaga is an attention-grabber. From a feng shui perspective, Lady Gaga teaches us some important feng shui lessons. Here are five that we can all learn from the pop sensation Lady Gaga. 1. The power of making your own luck. There are times when your luck simply happens. You win a contest, a surprise phone call with a wonderful offer comes out of the blue. But most of the time the luck you receive is luck you've earned; it's the luck of your efforts. This is certainly true of Lady Gaga. She knew what she wanted and with single minded determination she went for it, moving out of her parent...

by Kathryn Weber Living in a home that promotes contentment, harmony, and success means creating a thoughtful environment. These days everyone understands the importance of environment because, after all, we are a product of our environment -- and if that's true, then what is your environment saying about you? If your home is messy, dirty, and disorganized, chances are you are tired, struggling, and frustrated. But this is just one correlation. However, even in homes that are seemingly "together", there can still be things that work in the background to undermine our success. Could these items be working -- or lurking -- in your home, damaging the good feng shui you are trying to create? Read on to find out more. 1. Negative, sad, or harmful images or objects. All too often American homes feature the television as the centerpiece of a successful house. The living room is more correctly called a "watching room" because of all the viewing that goes on...

If you've ever had a feng shui consultation and it was good, you knew it. The same is true with the bad ones. I know about many bad consultations because I'm often called after someone talks to a feng shui expert who scared them. These poor clients are left wondering how they can continue living in a doomed house that will ruin their lives forever. They're upset, distraught, unnerved, and hopeless. Many homeowners are scared, and rightfully so. The tale of woe and misfortune these feng shui consultants weave would scare anyone. And if there is one rule in feng shui, it's the rule of balance. So, just like every house has its share of positive and negative energy (mine own house included), few of them are so bad that the owners should pack up and run away screaming. The majority of feng shui consultants are well-meaning, but many not have enough experience to offer you ideas and insights to help you. Here are eight of the most common ways feng shui consultant...

Feng shui is often called the Chinese art of placement. That boils a very deep and lengthy practice into something that's more about what picture to hang over the sofa versus a nuanced technique that accounts for time and the movement of energies in the environment and their impact on those who occupy it. What else does that sound like? If you're a student of esoteric studies, you'd say astrology. If you are more technically inclined, you'd say astronomy. And either way, you'd be right. At one time, the study of astronomy and astrology were one science, but the two diverged becoming two distinct fields of study, with astronomy being considered the more true science. However, Chinese scholars knew that the gross movements of the planets and stars often accompanied shifts and changes on earth. From that feng shui grew as a science based on their careful observations and study over hundreds and thousands of years. The Big Dipper and Feng Shui The Big Dippe...

8 Tips Show You How to Recognize and Stop Them There are two very basic kinds of energy in feng shui. These are sheng chi, which is called the dragon's breath. This is the beautiful and helpful type of energy that brings all good things. The second energy is called shar chi. This is harmful energy that creates all kinds of problems. One of the sources of shar chi is poison arrow energy. Poison arrows are negative energy that emanates from anything sharply pointing toward a main door, your body, or your home. These often occur at T-intersections where a road terminates directly in front of a house. It can also come from sharp corners of walls or furniture. These points can hit your body while you work or sleep. At their worst, poison arrows can create severe loss, such as loss of job, loss of money, or loss of health. It is important to assess any place you spend a great deal of time at for the presence and affect of poison arrows. These may be obvious and others not s...

There's a saying that success is just the accumulation of good habits. It's true. The more you do to help yourself and to be successful, the more successful - and prosperous - you'll become. Success and the wealth and acclaim that comes with it isn't as much a secret as much as it is a habit. Having a happy home life, successful career, ability to go and buy what you like when you want it, this brings happiness is true wealth. There are many people who have money, but lack wealth. One time my husband and I were shopping for a new home. The houses were beautiful, but there is little furniture, or what's there was of poor quality. It's as though the owner's money went into the homes, but there was no money to furnish the beautiful home with beautiful belongings. Is that a wealthy homeowner? No. That's the paradox of wealth. Having money (or a big house or a nice car) doesn't mean you are wealthy any more than breathing makes you healthy...
