5 elemente Feng Shui. Ciclurile Productive Si Distructive Ciclul elementelor: Conform Feng Shui, exista 5 elemente in natura.

Acestea sunt lemn, foc, pamant, metal si apa. Primul element este lemnul semnificand inceputul unei noi vieti. Prin lemn, in Feng Shui, nu ne referim la piesele de mobilier, ci intotdeanuna a se intelege plante vii si plante in ghiveci. Al doilea element este focul si semnifica energia yang/masculina. Al treilea element este pamant. Prin pamant nu ne referim doar la sol, ci si la pietre, roci, stanci etc. Al patrulea element este metalul care poate fi gasit sub mai multe forme, precum aur, argint, cupru, otel etc. Apa este al cincilea element in Feng Shui. Fara apa nu exista viata. In Feng Shui apa trebuie sa fie practice intotdeanuna cristalina si curgatoare. Aceste elemente relationeaza in 2 moduri, ceea ce inseamna ca exista 2 tipuri de cilcuri ale acestor elemente. Ciclul productivitatii si ciclul distructiv. Ciclul celor 5 elemente (productiv si distructiv )

Ciclul productive al elementelor: elemental lemn produce elemental foc, ceea ce inseamna ca poti produce foc arzand lemn. In schimb focul produce paman, deoarece focul arde si creaza scrum (pamant). Pamantul produce metal, deoarece metalul este minat din pamnat. Metalul produce apa; se spune acest lucru deoarece metalul poate fi topit si ajunge in stare lichida precum apa. Apa produce lemn, doar prin apa putem creste plantele. Ciclul distructiv al elementelor: In ciclul dictructiv se poate vedea cu usurinta ca lemnul distruge pamantul, copacii cresc in pamant si absorb toate minerale din acesta lasand-ul neroditor/arid. Focul distruge metalul din moment ce metalul este topit prin foc. Elementul pamant distruge elemental apa deoarece pamantul ( noroiul) absoarbe toata apa cand ploua. Metalul distruge lemnul deoarece toate obiectele taioase care taie lemnul precum toporul, ferestraul etc. sunt facute din metal. Elementul apa distruge elemental foc din moment ce aa poate stinge orice. Unui incepator ii va lua ceva timp pentru a intelege ciclul elementelor, dar odata intelese corespunzator, ii va fi usor sa le foloseasca pentru amenajarea locuintei. Prin pozitionarea corespunzatoare a mobilierului, obiectelor de metal, bolurilor cu apa, acvariilor, peretilor din casa si de la birou ne putem asigura ca locatia este plina de energii pozitive prin asigurarea ciclului productive al elementelor astfel fiind redusa influenta energiilor negative.

Aici oamenii ar trebui sa acorde mai multa atentie cand vine vorba d ebaia lor si sa caute modalitati de a amenaja cat mai ingrijit si elegant spatial di camera de baie.

Evita nuantele care arata mohorat si innegrite, altfel baia ta va fi neprimitoare. Daca nu esti sigur care din nuante este mai primitoare, intreaba vanzatorul si consulte-te cu el ce nunanta iti recomanda. De obicei persoanele cu un ochi format in picture/vopsea vor tinde spre culorile calde, linistitoare. Peretii vopsiti in crem pot fi accentuate prin niste accesorii crem, bleu sau gri deschis. Toate cele trei culori, in combinative, sunt perfecte pentru o baie feng shui. Nu te grabi in amenajarea baii si astfel sa risti sa blochezi energia si resursele financiare. Mai bine acorda timp pentru amenajarea spatiului in mod corespunzator si asigura-te ca alegi culorile feng shui. Vei fi uimit d ecat de repede energia ta creste si probabil si resursele financiare. Utilizarea dispozitivelor de prindere in baia feng shui Feng shui este o doctrina straveche care iti arata cum sa echilibrezi energiile create intr-o incapere.

Feng shui utilizeaza conceptual Tao care spune ca natura este vie si are o energie proprie care contribuie si influenteaza atmosfera din toata camera. Exista cinci elemente care contribuie la energia din camera lemn, foc, pamant, metal, apa. Culorile verde si maro simbolizeaza lemnul; orange sir oz simbolizeaza focul; galben deschis si coaja de copac simbolizeaza pamantul; metalul este reprezentat de alb si gri; iar apa este reprezentata evidend bleu si foarte rar negru. Culoarea nu este suficienta ea in sine, trebuie utilizate dispozitivelor de prindere pentru baia feng shui. Metalul in Feng Shui Metalul si apa nu trebuie utilizate impreuna in feng shui. Singura camera unde aceasta regula poate fi ignorata este baia. Deoarece baia este camera cu traffic destul de intens din casa, este foarte important ca cele cinci elemente sa fie reprezentate in mod corespunzator. Cel mai usor mod de a evidential elementul metal in baia feng shui este de a utiliza chiuveta, scurgeri metalice si elemente metalice de prindere a dususlui. In Feng shui se spune ca o camera ar trebui sa trebui fie cat mai putin posibil dezordonata pentru a permite energiei positive sa circule in casa. Ce fel de dispositive de prindere ar trebui alese? Prinderile pentru chiuveta si cada vin intr-o varietate de forme, marimi si finizaje. Dispozitivele de prindere cu design classic si traditional sunt ideale pentru baile oaspetilor sau ale copiilor. Oricum, pentru baia mare, poate fi utilizat un stil modern. O stfel de prindere pentru chiuveta pentru baia mare imita bambusul taiat cu finisaj de nichel. Bambusul este considerat a fi aducator de noroc in feng shui si ne invata ca trebuie sa fim flexibili si sa-i permita spiritului sa zboare liber. Utilizand astfel bambusul nu numai ca se aduce elementul metal in baie, dar si aduce enrgie pozitiva. Sfaturi pentru o baie Feng Shui buna Este foarte usor sa pierzi energie prin baie; de aceea trebuie avut grija sa prevenim acest lucru pe cat de mult posibil. Una din solutii ar fi sa legi o planglica rosie de tevile pentru scurgerea apei prevenind astfel scurgerea energiei odata cu scurgerea apei. Baia ar trebui sa fie mentinuta curate, iar obiectele sanitare sparte, ciobite ar trebui aruncate sau reparate. Nu puneti comoda chiar langa cada sau dus deoarece impiedica circulatia energiei in camera. Prosoapele ar trebui s afie de calitate, curate si mentinute ca noi pentru a arata prosperitate. Puneti plante bambus in vase de sticla

12

si de ele legati o panglica rosie. Bambusul poate avea trei tulpini pentru fericire, cinci tulpini pentru sanatate, doua pentru dragoste, opt pentru bogatie si noua tulpini pentru noroc. Cafeniu pentru baia Feng Shui Feng shui provine din China si sustine idea ca totul lucreaza impreunapentru a crea un camp energetic care controleaza starea ta emotional, fizica si financiara. Feng shui lucreaza pentru o stare psihica pozitiva, pentru a alimenta canduri si activitati pozitive. Culorile pe care le alegi in casa fac diferenta mediului inconjurator din casa ta, de aceea trebuie sa inveti sa alegi cea mai buna variant pentru a obitne un effect pozitiv maxim. De exemplu cafeniu este o provocare pentru baia feng shui. Feng Shui in baie Baia ar trebui sa fie un spatiu pentru relaxare si pentru curatarea mintii si a corpului, de aceea nu trebuie sa fie aglomerata pentru ca mintea ta sa fie eliberata de energiile negative iar aura sa fie reimprospatata. Baia ar trebui sa aiba lumina naturala suficienta si bine aerisita. Un difuzor de estente aromate, bine plasat, va ridica vibratia camerei si iti va relaxa corpul si mintea. Utilizeaza plante vii, nu cele din plastic, deoarece acestea purifica aerul. De asemenea plantele vii ajuta la energizarea aerului. Daca doresti sa utilizezi decoruri pe pereti , poti opta pentru copaci, rauri, valurile marii deoarece acestea simbolizeaza renasterea, reinnoirea. Simbolistica cafeniului in Feng Shui In feng shui cafeniul confera sentimental de impamantare si statornicie, semnificand fiabilitate si confort si simbolizand intelepciune,pace si siguranta. Cafeniul este deseori asociat cu un corp puternic, dar nu ofera activitate cerebral si de aceea este relaxant. Oarecum in trecut, cafeniul era culoarea melancoliei si are semnificatie senzuala. Deoarece cafeniul este o culoare de pamant, deseori este considerate maternal. In feng shui, elementul lemn stimuleaza cresterea si permite intrarea intr-o stare de spirit creativa. Lemnul este bine de folosit in spatiile de creatie, pentru flexibilitate sau a obtine intelepciune sau dezvoltare. Utilizand cafeniu in baie In timp ce culori precum albastru, verde si alb sunt bune pentru baia feng shui, cafeniul poate fi utilizat cu moderatie pentru podele, decoratiuni sau pentru covorasele de baie. Albastru semnifica apa care curate corpul, verde reprezinta inceputul unei noi zile, iar albul curatenia. Cafeniul poate fi evidentiat prin ramele oglinzilor din lemn sau bambus, prin podele din lemn natur sau imitatie sau adaugand mici plante naturale. Cafeniul mai poate fi evidentiat in baie prin diferite lucrari de arta. Pozele in care apar copaci sunt cea mai buna modalitate prin care poti evidential cafeniul, copacii in sine reprezentant reinnoirea mintii si a corpului. Cea mai buna modalitate de a crea feng shui in baie este de vopsi peretii in alb sau bleu pal pentru a reprezenta apa si curatenia, incorporeaza verde cu ajutorul pantelor natural pentru a aduce noutatea in viata ta si cafeniu pentru podele pentru impamantare. De ce este important feng shui-ul in baie Oamenii au tendinta de a percepe baia ca pe cea mai neimportanta camera din casa, redirectionand toata energia pozitiva creatore in camera mai comune, cum ar fi sufrageria sau dormitorul. Oricum ar fi baia are un mare impact

13

asupra mediului inconjurator al casei, din moment ce afecteaza sanatatea si curatenia tuturor in foarte multe modalitati. Pentru a cunoaste mai bine importanta feng shui-ului in baie, haideti sa aruncam o privire asupra diferitelor madalitati prin care se realizeaza curatenia si sanatate, si cum aceste realizari afecteaza echilibrul.

Cea mai evident modalitate este faptul ca faci dus in baie, ceea ce insemna ca tu si familia ta abordati ad literam aceasta chestiune majora a curateniei in baie.

Daca iei in considerare decorul din baia de oaspeti sau baia mare, cada este punctul de atractie din acest spatiu. Asigurate ca instalatiile merg corespunzator, utilizeaza eneria eficient si materiale eco ori de cate ori este posibil. Acest lucru sporeste echilibrul energetic din camera.

Zona baii este importanta si pentru alte forme de curatenie, care sunt vitale sanatatii noastre.

Desi despre aceste lucruri nu vorbim deseori in societate, toaleta este zona baii folosita cel mai des, ea ajutandu-ne sa ne pastram organismul sanatos. Poti mari energia pozitiva din baie lasand inchis capacul wc-ului dupa utilizarea acestuia si/sau punand o piatra decorativa deasupra capacului de la vasul de wc. Piatra va pastra energia pozitiva, impiedincand astfel scurgerea energiei prin tevi si scurgeri.

Nu uita sa tii usa de la baie inchisa pentru a pastra energia pozitiva si a o elimina pe cea negativa.

Majoritatea oamenilor considera deranjant mirosul din baie, indiferent cat de curat este in baie sau cat de mult ne straduim sa imbunatatim mirosul cu lumanari sau alte arome. Nu numai ca rezolvam aceasta problema a mirosului tinand usa inchisa, dar astfel nu lasam energia negativa sa iasa din baie sis a intre in restul casei. Baia este sursa cea mai mare de energie negativa, asadar mentine balanta energetic tinand usa de la baie inchisa.

Tine minte ca baia ar trebui sa fie un spatiu ascuns in casa.

Asa cum nu faci dus sau baie cu usa deschisa, tine ascunsa viata ta private de ochii vizitatorilor, membrii familiei si prieteni. Acesta este un motiv in plus sat ii usa de la bai tot timpul inchisa. De asemenea protejeaza copii si animalele din casa de accidente, baia fiind un loc neprotejat pentru ei, acesta fiind un motiv in plus pentru care feng shui este important in baie. Stilul feng shui imbunatateste totul in casa, maximizand potentialul casei tale in multe feluri. Baia este inca o camera din casa care are nevoie de o atingere asa de importanta pentru a devein sigura, primitoare, un loc linistit pentru partile vitale care fac parte din viata familiei tale.

Feng Shui pentru dormitorul oaspetilor Most of the rooms in our home are easy to design using the ancient Chinese feng shui style, but sometimes the guest bedroom gets overlooked as one of those spaces that we forget about. We design the spaces that we live in, and the guest bedroom may not be used as often as the rest of the house, so it gets left for last, and then forgotten as life moves on to the next project for the homeowner. In fact, feng shui for the guest bedroom is more important than you might think, since it effects how people feel about your home and your family after an overnight visit or extended stay in your home. Follow the rules for other bedrooms, such as the master bedroom, and you will achieve balance in the guest bedroom. The bed should always be the focal point in the bedroom, even if it is a guest bedroom, so follow the rules that apply to the bed. Keep the bed away from the direct line between the window and the door as much as possible, especially avoiding placing the bed in the line vertically. Sometimes you cannot avoid the bed being placed in this line somewhat, but do your best to avoid the path of energy because it disrupts the guests sleep. Balance the room with the right symmetry. Add accessories, colors, and accents that give the room a sense of balance so that you create a more relaxing environment for your guests to sleep in. Even numbered groups or pairs of two items are the best way to bring balance back to a small, oddly-shaped guest bedroom. A pair of items hung on either side of the headboard will add balance to the focal point in the bedroom, and you can do the same throughout the room. When the room feels balanced, it is more relaxing for your familys guests.

Keep the personal touches to a minimum. It may sounds welcoming to have creative, personal touches in every room of the house, but this should not include the guest bedroom. Guests are actually more comfortable in a room that is not filled with family photographs or collectibles. Instead, decorate using abstract shapes, soothing colors, landscapes, and peaceful paintings so that the bedroom achieves the main goal of a guest bedroom by lulling guests to sleep. The room does not have to be memorable to be relaxing. You want your home to be memorable in a positive way, but this does not mean that guests have to be able to recall every aspect of the room. What they should remember most is that they slept very well in that room, and that they had a great time with your family whether they are also part of the family or family friends. Comfortable and practical furniture, peaceful dcor, and feng shui tips are all that you need in order to finish a guest bedroom that is comfortable for anyone, of any age, any night of the week.

Single objects in a bedroom give a feel of being solitary, whereas objects that are displayed in pairs give the feel of relationship and closeness, such as having a partner in the bedroom. You should be in a position of power in the feng shui bedroom, with the bed in a position where you can see both the door and the entire room, without being directly in front of the door. The Meaning of Purple in Feng Shui For feng shui, purple can mean one of several things, but most meaning point to qualities that are related to royalty or nobility. Meanings such as abundance, dignity, and mystical lend positive and significant energy to the room. Some shades of purple, such as violet for example, symbolize fidelity.

Using the Water Element in the Bedroom Water is one of the five basic elements that have an affect on your chi flow, negative or positive. When you design a bedroom based on feng shui principles, it is vital to make sure that each of these elements is adequately represented

21

in order to maximize the bedrooms potential. There are a few fun and creative ways to make sure that water is characterized in some way in your bedroom. Aquarium Method An aquarium is one of the easiest ways of representing water in any room, including the bedroom, and they are a beautiful addition to the room itself. The sound of the filter is very soothing, and watching fish swim is a great way to relax your mind and de-stress after a long day at work. The size of the aquarium dictates the expense involved, and the larger or fancier the aquarium, the more you will have to pay for it. A simple aquarium with a few fish should not cost more than about $50, depending on the type of fish that you choose. Pay careful attention to what kind of fish normally cohabitate to avoid a disaster later, and make sure that you have the right environment for each fish; such as keeping saltwater fish out of a fresh water tank. Feeding fish and keeping the tank clean is not nearly as much work as you might imagine, and often requires just a few minutes each day to feed and a little more work two or three times a month to keep the tank clean. Pictures of Water This is often the easiest way to use the water element in your bedroom, and likely the option that is best for those who do not want to have to deal with an aquarium. A beautiful picture that features a water scene, such as a lighthouse, beach, or river, can be a great way to be sure that all of the positive characteristics of water are maximized in your bedroom with little expense and almost no hassle. Simply hang the picture, and keep it dusted. Pictures of fish can also represent water, and these may be very inexpensive but still a very attractive way of representing water in your bedroom. Pictures that feature waves or wavy shapes are a similar idea, and are available at many retailers worldwide. There are many trendy geometric prints and watercolors that are a great option for those looking for a water feature in their bedroom. Waterfall Features Finally, another simple and relaxing method of featuring water is by using an attractive water feature, such as a working waterfall. Often costing just $20 or less, you can get a great water feature at most stores that sell home dcor, and they use very little water on average. The larger the fountain, the higher the cost in most cases, but it is well worth it for the beauty and relaxation that this type of water feature brings to your bedroom. 10 Positive Feng Shui Tips for your Bedroom Since the average person spends almost a third of their life in their bedroom, applying some basic Feng Shui principles in the space may serve you very well.

There are some secrets (independently of your individual feng shui number) concerning the bedding. First of all the bedding should be of soft and pastel colors and of the best color according to your individual feng shui color map(To know about it follow my e-book Create your luck with personal feng shui). But, very important notice, NEVER, I will repeat Never use blue color or even any fragments of blue color in your bedding. To the water symbol corresponds also the wavy pictures, so recommend avoiding them on your bedding. Blue color is water symbol and any wavy pictures are also water symbol and when sleeping your bedding absorbs your energy you will lose your energy it will simply go way or flow. Blue bedding brings only diseases and illnesses (especially it influences on your stomach and breathing). Your bedding may be of any light color, except for blue. Keep your bedroom restful. Change your bed sheets regularly to avoid the accumulation of negative energy. Let the sheets be made of natural materials like cotton, silk etc. avoid the synthetic stuff.

FENG SHUI TIPS FOR CHARGING YOUR BEDROOM WITH EROTICALLY POSITIVE ENERGY To enhance the sexual energy in your bedroom with feng shui, use the right hand corner (from the entrance) of your bedroom to display symbols that activate the energy of love, such as a photograph of you and your loved one, a sculpture of lovers, or two sculptures, a heart shaped object, a crystal prism, a mobile, or a sensual painting.

For an erotic bedroom incorporate the fire element by using candles and oil lamps. The bedroom should be in shades of red, pink, and garnet. Place a red object on the female night stand to increase eroticism in the female partner. place a tiny jar of copper scraps or something made of copper on the male's night stand. Copper represents the male essence and enhances eroticism to its fullness.

26

To preserve sexual receptivity place a ruby or garnet on or hanging over the night stand. These stones are very energizing and powerful in attracting the opposite sex. Avoid having too many photos of friends or family members. The bedroom is a private place, the children and in laws should not be involved. Open your curtains and let sunlight into your room during the day. Let sunlight charge your bed with positive energy.

By incorporating these principles of feng shui in your bedroom you can create an erotically charged romantic retreat to attract a new lover or recharge the energy in eroticism in a relationship. Even if you can not apply every principle of feng shui into your bedroom, try to use as many as possible to get the erotic energy flowing. Display photos of the two of you doing things together. Aromatherapy has often been used in sexual practices and rituals throughout many cultures and time periods. Scent has been used to attract lovers, heal a relationship; it has been used in the art of seduction and mentioned in the Kama Sutra. Cleopatra was known to have used a special blend of rose, cardamom, and cinnamon to seduce Marc Anthony. Basil was used by young Italian women to charm and bewitch potential lovers, ancient Arabic manuals giving advice on sexual matters refer to Black Pepper for its erotic qualities, Ginger was used by the Romans for its sexual enhancement properties, an Italian princess used Neroli to fragrance her gloves and bathing water, and Tantric disciples smeared Sandalwood on their bodies while celebrating sexual ecstasy. GENERAL FENG SHUI TIPS FOR YOUR BEDROOM - Remove all clutter. First of all remove all clutter so positive energy can flow throughout the room. Clutter blocks the flow of Chi. You should also remove anything reminding you of past lovers (photos, love letters, presents and gifts, anything that reminds you of the past). - Everything should be arranged in pairs. According to feng shui tips you should get rid of items associated with loneliness. You should not have just one of an item, not one flower in a vase, or one single photograph or one painting and definitely not one night stand. Everything should be arranged in pairs to symbolize a union. Have two candles on a dresser, two paintings on a wall, two end tables, etc. You should also avoid paintings or photos depicting one thing. - Plants, whether they are living, dried, or artificial should be avoided in the bedroom. - Water is prohibited in the bedroom according to feng shui. It clashes with the fire element, the element of passion. Avoid having any water features such as fountains or fish tanks in the bedroom, also avoid any photos, painting or sculptures depicting water scenes such as waterfalls, rivers, lakes, streams, etc. Water in the bedroom can lead to financial loss and loss in a relationship. - Try to keep computers and televisions out of the bedroom. If you can not keep them out of the bedroom try to hide them in a cabinet or armoire that has doors that can be shut at night or cover the television and computer monitors with screens or thick cloth at night to block the yang energy that they emit. The bedroom should be full of yin energy, not yang.

27

- Keep all exercise equipment out of the bedroom. According to feng shui the bedroom is not the place for the excitement and flow of yang energy used during exercise.

FENG SHUI IN CHILDREN ROOM

On the following pages of this section you will find information about feng shui for children room: feng shui children room colors, feng shui children room decorating, feng shui children room pictures, feng shui children room design, children furniture, children's bedroom, feng shui children room ideas, rules, photo, pictures and wallpapers for children room, children feng shui Children are very sensitive to their environment: to sounds, colors, and materials. Use feng shui to create a healthy and happy atmosphere for your children. A good flow of feng shui chi energy in the children's room will inevitably lead to a happier, healthier child, while a room with a poor energy flow will contribute to a child who can't sleep well, is playing up, is cranky, and tends to get sick often. Fresh air and clearness is always the main thing in children's rooms. You should pay special attention to the colors you choose for this space, not only for the walls but for the decoration in general. Use light colors in balance with the individual feng shui map of your child (You can find it in the book "Create your Luck with personal Feng Shui") to strengthen the energy for harmonious and successful growth. As with all bedrooms, the bed position is very important. First of all, your child's bed should not be right across the door. Besides, it should ideally have a wall at one side and be in such a position that allows him to see the door easily. If possible, the bed should be in a corner it would make the child feel secure and sleep better. Do not let your child sleep with a head positioned on the same wall as a toilet. This harmful position will cause your child to be distracted from studies and ultimately have bad luck. Also, the position in which the child sleeps can influence the time he wakes up and how deep he sleeps.

Anyway the child should always sleep the head in the best geographical direction

Feng Shui Affects Babies Too! This is not one of those articles about feng shui and sex, although feng shui does affect fertility in many different ways. It is not about feng shui and pregnancy either, although peace and balance can make the pregnancy easier for both mother and baby. Nursery tips abound, but it is important to understand exactly why you are attempting to balance this special space. This article focuses on how feng shui affects babies too, and how improving feng shui for babies can lead to better and deeper sleep, peaceful personalities, and improved development. Utilize Feng Shui Tips for the Babys Room We make sure that the home is balanced with proper feng shui, and the babys nursery should be no exception. Use the same techniques that you would use in the other rooms of the home to bring positive chi into the babys room, avoiding overuse of colors like red, yellow, and orange that can add too much energy to the space. Overwhelming energy in the nursery leads to colic, fussiness, gassiness, and other problems for your little one and a lack of sleep for parents. Calm, soothing shades and soft, peaceful music are very important, and so is soft lighting in the nursery. A neutral color palette is best for your little one, but you can add some color and energy through framed family portraits to inspire the baby and remind him or her of the love surrounding the space. Natural lighting and organization are also really important, as they are a positive influence and encourage positive chi. Never let there be a lot of sharp, pointed objects in the nursery, especially near where baby sleeps, or it will ruin the flow of energy and keep baby from resting. Geopathic Structures The feng shui experts say that the reason that many babies do not sleep well is not due to gas or any physical problem; it is due to geopathic structures that keep them from being able to relax and fall asleep properly. Once this is fixed, you may quickly begin to see your little one sleeping all night and staying in bed without crying. Sometimes the geopathic structure cannot be modified, such as due to the shape of the room, furniture placement issues, or the geographic direction of the bedroom. When these things cannot be changed, there are products called home harmonizers that can fix the issue and add peace and harmony to the area again. There may not be an immediate improvement when you attempt to fix the babys feng shui in the nursery, but babies recover faster than most adults and you should begin to see a difference within a couple of days. As you change things around in the nursery, baby will probably sleep in a different room, and you may see a change really quickly when your baby sleeps in a balanced space like your bedroom. Going to another home where things are out of balance, such as grandparents home, can also lead to sleep issues or fussiness, so be prepared to adjust while on vacation or away from home. Feng Shui to Help an Infant Sleep Many new parents fail to realize the real reason for their infants sleeping problems. The biggest reason many infants have trouble sleeping peacefully throughout the night is not that the child is hungry or lonely but that the energy

30

within the room is not conducive for the infant to relax and remain calm without the aid of either parent. Creating a peaceful, feng shui nursery for the infant is a must, unless sleep is not a concern and the parent is willing to go without sleep for years to come. Colors and Decor for a Feng Shui Nursery Many new parents choose to paint their childs new room in either shades of blue or shades of pink. However, parents should instead try and focus on colors that they themselves find comforting and soothing. Painting an infants bedroom in a color that is typically energetic can cause the infant to be unable to relax and rest. The color of the infants nursery should also match the elemental area of the home, such as, if the nursery is in the Fire area of the home, shades of red or pink are acceptable colors. If the paint color represents a destructive element to the elemental area of the home, it will cause negative energy and tension in a room. Decor items should also contribute to the overall restful atmosphere of an infants nursery. Electrical appliances should be kept to the absolute necessities only so that the overall energy field of the nursery does not interfere with the infants sleeping. Items within the nursery should be made from natural materials, such as wood, and man-made materials, such as plastic, should be limited as much as possible. Creating a Proper Feng Shui Energy Many new parents choose a decor that has an energetic feel or that encourages aggressiveness, movement, or other energy inducing decors. A relaxing, positive feng shui energy idea for an infants nursery would be to use elements that correspond to the area of the house within the feng shui area. The proper area for children is located in the western portion of the home. The western area of the home is also used for creativity and entertainment. Placing an infants nursery in the western area of the home enables the child to grow in creativity while they physically grow. Aromatherapy can also help soothe an infant to sleep. The source of the aromatherapy for infants should come from essential oils, aroma stones, or incense cone; other sources such as aroma candles and incense burners, are not safe to use around an infant as the infant can possibly knock them over and cause a fire. The scent of the aromatherapy should be appealing to your infant. Some scents that are good for infants are cedar, lavender, or pine. Cedar creates a comforting, safe energy while also balancing the energy in the room. Lavender and pine both create a calm energy. Lavender is a useful aroma when dealing with infants who are hard to calm or are having difficulty transitioning to life outside of the mothers womb. Creating Positive Energy in the Playroom When many people think about feng shui, they often do not consider how it can be used in areas of the home that are designed for family and children use. Feng shui has an aura of being an adult only subject that is reserved for making the grown-up aspects of the house feel more comfortable. While feng shui can indeed do that, it is also important to think about how positive energy can impact the entire family. One of the most important places in the house to have a good, positive flow of energy is in the childrens playroom. Why the Playroom

31

As any parent knows, the playroom can be referred to by many other names and none of which are complementary. The messy room, the disaster area, and others are frequently used to describe the room that is ruled by chaos. Unfortunately, when chaos rules in an area that is supposed to be happy and uplifting, energy problems arise that need to be fixed. If your playroom is turning into more of a war zone when your children (or you) enter it, it is time to seriously consider some very basic feng shui principles. Goodbye Clutter Clutter is the number one killer of positive energy and the playroom is a magnet for messes. When trying to clean up the space, begin by sorting everything in the room. Be ruthless and, if possible, sort and purge items when your children are not in the space. If you know that they have not played with the broken remote control car for years, throw it away before they get home. By taking the broken pieces, missing parts, and trash out of the space, you can focus on the things that have potential value. You may want to sort further and have three piles - keep, donate, and sell. Be sure that the keep pile is the smallest of the three. If you end up with too many things in the keep pile, you may want to ask your children to help you sort further and get rid of the items in the keep bin that they no longer want. The simple act of clearing away the clutter will instantly add a positive flow of energy in the space and make the playroom more welcoming. In Its Place Another aspect of feng shui is to have everything in its place. After you have gotten rid of the toys that are no longer played with and the broken pieces, organize the things that are left. Use bins and shelves that are easily accessible for the children to organize their toys. Label everything clearly and avoid using dark, depressing colors in the space. By the same token, avoid going overboard on mixing colors, as they create a cacophony of visual noise. When everything is in its place, you will find that the playroom is anything but a war zone. By employing a very basic, yet critical element of feng shui in the playroom, you can guarantee that your children will play more harmoniously and feel better in the space. Remember, too, that less clutter makes the room easier to clean and keep tidy. Feng shui is no longer just for the living room! 3 Ways to Use Feng Shui to Create a Relaxing Childs Room Feng shui principles are not only for adults bedrooms. They are perfect for creating a relaxing childs bedroom. Why might a relaxing space be so important for your child? Because children feel stress too, and at the end of the day, or while studying quietly, you child needs a place where he feels safe, secure, and relaxed. The three tips and tricks below can help you create the ideal space for Junior without breaking the bank. Calming Colors Instead of painting your childs bedroom bright fire engine red, consider painting the walls a more calming color. Pastels work especially well in the bedroom in feng shui designs, because they elicit a sense of calm and quiet. This is ideal for a childs bedroom not only when he is sleeping, but also when he is reading or studying for school. If he insists on blue, select a light shade of blue to make the room more relaxing than electrifying. If she insists on her favorite color pink or purple - pick a petal soft shade for the bedroom walls. The main color in the room can make a huge difference in the energy and feel of the room, so choose the wall color wisely.

32

Bed Position Even if you are limited to the areas where your childs bed may be placed, there are some definite placements to avoid according to feng shui. The most important tip is never to place the bed directly across from the bedroom door or a mirror. The open door and the reflection in the mirror can make for an uneasy nights rest and a greater chance of your child being startled should he awaken in the middle of the night. Instead, feng shui experts suggest placing the bed in a snug, secure corner where at least one side of the bed is flush with the wall. This will make your child feel more cozy and safe throughout the night. Desk Position If you are like most parents, you have never really considered the placement of your childs bedroom desk to be one that is critical to his success or the relaxing feel of the room. Unfortunately, by overlooking this simple step, you can easily set your child up for distraction and an inability to focus. One of the keys is to keep the desk away from the wall that adjoins the bathroom and would position the desk next to the toilet. This sounds like an easy task, but since the bed can also not go along that wall, you may need to think carefully about furniture arrangement. Once the color is calming, the bed is positioned in such a way that encourages sleep and relaxation, and the desk is away from negative energy flow, it will be easy to see the changes in your childs behavior. By creating a space that is calm, your child will reflect that in his actions and studies. Take the time to rearrange your childs room to ensure the success you so want him to have.

More Nursery Feng Shui Tips Your babys bedroom, normally called the nursery, is the place that he or she spends the most time. It should be the most peaceful room in the house, offering a quiet, restful environment during the formative months of life for your baby. There are dozens of ways that you can improve feng shui in the nursery, so here are some more nursery feng shui tips to maximize the positive energy flow and ensure that your baby sleeps better and deeper every day. Clean up the Clutter A cluttered nursery is not a peaceful one, so keep the clutter to a minimum within this space. Although baby has a few necessities that tend to make a mess, such as diapers, store them out of babys line of sight. Keep other items that should be in the nursery, such as clothing, accessories, baby wipes, bed linens, and so on, in drawers or bins so that the room always looks as clean and tidy as possible. If you share a room with baby, the same rules should apply to your things, and this is also the case if another sibling is sleeping in the same bedroom. Clutter decreases the quality of sleep that we receive each night, making it nearly impossible to get a restful night of sleep. Although it does not guarantee that your baby will sleep without interruption every night, it will go much farther toward providing that relaxing environment necessary to fall asleep and stay asleep. Minimize the Yang Energy Yang energy is awake energy, so keep it out of the nursery as much as possible, especially during the nighttime/sleeping hours. Yang energy is produced by light or living items, including live plants, night lights,

33

aquariums, water or rock fountains, and so on, so avoid placement of these items in the nursery. They can decrease the amount of melatonin your baby produces, leading to less restful sleep, fussiness, and crying. Another way to minimize the yang energy is to remove mirrors from the nursery, which produce light and are symbolic of natural lighting. Although some light is good for baby during the day, at night it will only keep baby from sleeping. Mirrors also reflect any source of light back into the room, so they act almost like a lamp to amplify all lighting. Window View is Important Your baby should always be able to see a source of life in the nursery, and the window is a great way to achieve this goal. Unless babys window faces a busy street directly, consider allowing the window blinds to be open or raised most of the time. Keep something green on or near the windowsill to promote life, such as a growing plant right outside the window. Feng shui experts say that a wind chime or mobile placed outside your babys window will also promote positive chi. This is an excellent idea if your babys nursery is not in the best compass direction, the bed is positioned poorly, or if the room is somewhat cluttered due to lack of space or other options. Is Feng Shui Important for the Nursery? Your babys room is the most important room for that little one, providing a safe place to sleep and grow during the first few months of life. Baby often spends most of every day in this room, so many parents ask questions such as Is feng shui important for the nursery? The answer is yes! Feng shui makes a difference even in your babys life. Follow the same guidelines for creating a feng shui style childs bedroom. This includes avoiding high energy colors such as red so that baby gets the most sleep possible throughout this time of growth. Red offers too much passion in a childs room or babys nursery, so the most you should see is small pops of red in accessories. You can represent the fire element through shape or other images very easily, negating the necessity of using the actual color red. Turn off the lights while baby is sleeping. You can keep a small nightlight or dim lamp available during feedings, but to improve your babys sleeping habits get the little one used to the dark. This increases the amount of melatonin produced by the body, generating a deeper and more restful sleep. Avoid light whenever possible, especially at night, as it decreases melatonin production and leads to poor sleeping habits. Keep computer monitors and televisions away from babys bed. These emit harmful rays called EMFs (electromagnetic frequencies) that decrease melatonin production. A sleepy baby who cannot get restful sleep is far more likely to be grumpy or fussy afterward. Other things that produce EMFs include microwaves, power strips, electric blankets, waterbed heaters, and computer towers, so keep these at least away from babys nursery. When you cannot avoid keeping one or more of these items in the babys bedroom, keep them at least a few feet from the crib. The nursery should always be quiet and soothing. Some babies do not sleep well in total quiet, but the nursery should always be a calm and restful place. Producers of white noise, such as a machine that plays the sound of running water or crashing waves, can help baby sleep much more peacefully. Music choices should be strictly limited to relaxing sounds such as classical music. When possible, get baby used to no sounds so that deeper sleep is possible.

34

Use only positive images in your babys line of sight in the nursery. What your baby can see even before he or she can understand what is being viewed is very important, so be sure that you only display things that are happy and peaceful. A framed photo of your family is a great idea, as are baby animals, landscapes that are peaceful, or motivational phrases. Avoid negative images, such as volcanoes, sharks, rock music posters, screaming or crying people, or photographs featuring people who are not a part of your babys life. This last part is very important, especially if Mom and Dad are divorced and one parent is not a part of the little ones life. How to Use Red in a Childs Room Children have very high levels of passion and energy without any help from color, so it is very important to know how to use red in a childs room. Too much, and you will begin to notice that the child has sleeping problems, struggles to focus, and deals with hyperactivity beyond control. This is because red is a high-energy color, adding a lot of passion to any room, and this should be minimized in the bedroom at least. Do not lose the fire element when you minimize red in the childs bedroom. You need each of the five elements to be represented adequately in the childs room, and this includes the fire element. This is necessary in order to keep balance in the room, so that none of the other four elements take over the space and create chaos. Use shapes or symbols to represent fire without adding a lot of red to the space. Red can be a great accessory without overwhelming the room. Utilize the color red in a small way in your childs bedroom without clashing with the rest of the rooms dcor. For instance, a cute throw pillow on the childs bed with red as one of the secondary shades would be sufficient. Make sure that the piece is not a focal point, such as one of several throw pillows to take the focus off the red, or the red will begin to add chaos to the room again. Use red as an afterthought, never as a focal point. Red should only be a focal point in a room that can handle the extra energy, such as the dining room or outdoor living space. No matter how small the red piece is, if it is a focal point it will overwhelm the space very easily, and it would require a lot of work to balance. Redand fireis very powerful, and likely one of the most powerful of the five elements, so be very careful to balance this color with peaceful, relaxing shades and focal points. Put simply, use red sparingly, if at all. As described above, there are several ways to incorporate the fire element without resorting to the color red. There are other colors that offer less passion but still represent fire, and shapes or patterns are adequate as well. Alternative measures are helpful, and there are dozens of fun shapes, patterns, artwork, dcor options, and colors that add a small amount of passion and energy without adding anything that is red to the equation. Be careful about shades that have strong red undertones. While we are focusing on how to use red in a childs room, it is just as important to remember that some colors have strong red highlights as well. This includes many shades of purple, orange and pink, some shades of blue, some browns, and a few shades of yellow. Use these colors just as sparingly as red, to avoid red energy from unexpected sources in your childs bedroom. Using The Fire Element in A Childs Room If you are familiar with feng shui decorating, then you know that the fire element can be the most difficult element to implement in a bedroom since it promotes energy and creativity in a room where you want to promote relaxation and peace. This issue is increased in a childs room, where you want to limit the energy and liveliness at bedtime without

35

stifling imagination and creativity during the play hours. Using the fire element in a childs room becomes a matter of maximizing the elements potential without overwhelming the room. By Using Color When using color to represent the fire element in a childs room, be aware that most colors that represent fire also energize children. This includes most shades of red, yellow, orange, purple, and even some pinks. That is not saying that you should completely avoid these colors, but rather that they have to be balanced and should never be the primary shades in a childs room. In order to balance the energy from colors in a childs room, consider warmer shades of blue and green instead, so that you can represent by using color without overwhelming the room in frenetic energy. The brighter and vibrant shades can be used for accessories, accents, and small focal points. Note: stay away from over-utilizing blue in this bagua, since blue can overwhelm the energy and hide the fire element completely. Focus on balance without control or domination, and include other shades as well. Most experts recommend yellow in a childs room instead of red, and yellows are perfect for representing fire in the south bagua. Combining yellow with green or white is a great start for a balanced childs room. By Using Shapes Shapes are a much easier method of introducing the fire element in a feng shui friendly childs room, since a shape is much less likely to energize but still allows energy to flow in a positive manner. Look for shapes that represent fire, such as the sun or flames, but any shape that is pointed upward will represent this element. You can also choose sunflowers, diamonds, triangles, and pyramids in a childs bedroom to promote fire without maximizing the energy potential. Triangles and pyramids are the best representations of fire, since they incorporate the upward point and warmth of the sun most sufficiently. Whether you achieve this through a piece of furniture, a unique piece of art, or an accessory, you will have represented fire in the right bagua. By Using Accessories Accessorizing is the easiest way to add any element to a room, since a figurine, photo, print, poster, or similar addition is inexpensive to replace if destroyed or damaged by a curious child. Natural light is a perfect example of something that can be used to symbolize fire without having to worry about damage, such as a window with sheer curtains or open blinds during the daylight hours. Light bulbs that mimic natural lighting are also acceptable, but be sure that the light source points upwards in order to maximize the energy without overwhelming the space. Using the Wood Element in a Childs Room Using the feng shui decorating style in a childs room can be a challenge, as it becomes slightly harder to work in each element and bagua correctly. However, wood is one of the simplest elements to work with in a childs room, and there are dozens of ideas that are relatively inexpensive, or that use items you may already have. Here are a few examples of how you can represent the wood element in a childs room. Picture Method

36

Most people choose to use pictures of woods in order to represent wood, such as a great forest print. To make it childfriendly, consider a castle in the forest for a little girl, with a princess somewhere in the picture. For boys, you could choose a knight in front of the castle, or an animal with a forest background. Using pictures is one of the easiest ways to characterize the wood element, and it often costs much less than other elements. A rectangular shape can be representative of wood, and a rectangular picture frame is a popular and easy way to include this element. Hanging a mirror with a wood frame is another alternative, and a rectangular shape only adds a bonus to the equation. This is why the picture method is so popular, since there is such a variety of ways to picture wood. The Color Green You can represent wood with the color green as well, since this color is a characterization of growing things. Fabrics that are green, including character prints, are easy to find, and you can find many choices that are primarily green for the best representation of this element. Most are not costly, and it is not expensive to design your own green wall art either. This is one opportunity to get very creative with your feng shui dcor, and the child or children who will occupy the room can get in on the fun. Use your resources, such as the Internet and many local retail stores, to find craft projects that feature wood pieces, green paint, and similar options. It is easier to find age-appropriate projects for children who are at least seven years old, although many can easily be adapted for older or younger children as well. Straw and/or Paper You might not think about products such as straw or paper at first, but they are actually a great way to represent the wood element in a childs bedroom. Using anything that is made from straw or paper is actually utilizing a form of wood, so the representation is taken care of when you add the item. This is true for pictures, craft projects, toys, wall art, and many other items as well. Keep in mind that the more wood you can work into the correct bagua, which is east/southeast, the better it will be represented. For example, if you choose a great picture of a forest, then add a rectangular wood frame, and finish it with a green matte, you are utilizing several forms of the element and it will maximize the positive chi for that area.

The dining room is a place where you take meal, spend time with your family and friends.This room should be a calm and peaceful place. Lighting is an important element in creating a good dining. The flow of energy through the dining room should be gentle but not stagnant. A mirror will help to improve the chi flow in the dining room. A mirror facing your table will double your food, the sign of riches and plenty: perhaps the center piece can be a full bowl of fresh, crystal, juicy fruits! Use round, oval, or octagonal shaped tables. Your dining room shouldn't be too close to the front door. Always try to eat facing one of your best directions- to know it check the book "Create your Luck with personal Feng Shui" It is also very important to choose a table that fits the size of your area to make sure there is enough room to walk around the table (equal space around the whole table works best). A faceted crystal ball or crystal chandelier over the center of the dining table will help to balance chi in the room.

Always use soft lighting in the dining room Be careful of sharp angles form wall partitions or furniture pointing at you: soften them by hanging crystal balls or a plant in front of them. It is very important to follow the Individual Feng shui map, because you can only do much harm by placing the wrong subjects in wrong places Best Accessories for Dining Room Feng Shui The dining room is the space that sees a great deal of traffic in your home, often filled with people at least three times per day on an average day. For homeschoolers or families with small children there may be projects going on at any time of day, so feng shui is especially important in this high traffic space. Accessories are the perfect way to achieve

38

the most positive feng shui in the dining area, so you should be aware of the best accessories for dining room feng shui. A Focus on Food Since the goal of the dining room is for the family to eat, the best accessories are often food-oriented as well. You can represent food directly or indirectly, depending on the style and dcor that you want for the rest of the room. Below are some examples for using food directly and indirectly: Direct use of food is exactly what it sounds like. For instance, a bowl of glitter-coated faux apples makes a great centerpiece on the dining room table, and it can easily be paired with another accessory that smells like apple. A print of a loaded cornucopia is another example of a direct use of food in the dining room, and it makes a great accessory choice, especially during the late summer and early fall. Crystal pieces shaped like fruits, vegetables, or other foods also make great centerpiece additions and are direct food representations. Indirect use of food is something that smells or is shaped like a food, but is not one per se. An example of this type of accessory could be a candle that smells like apple pie or banana bread, filling the room with the scent of food and inspiring the appetite. Prints with abstract shapes in colors that remind you of a certain food, such as candy apple red, are another great example. Air fresheners that smell like food, such as a tropical concoction, are popular uses of indirect food representations too. Adding to the Thought You probably do not intend to decorate the entire dining room with food, although food should be the rooms focal point. Build on the food-oriented dcor with the right complementary accents, such as colors and shapes that build depth in the dining room. Neutral shades are always a good choice when you do not want to risk taking away from the food theme in the room, but you can add pops of color that coordinate. Avoid colors that contrast too strongly with the food that you represent in the room, such as painting the room grassy green when you use pumpkin scents to represent food. A tropical scent would coordinate much better with this shade of green, or even the scent or shape of apples since either can easily be equated with a bright, vibrant green. Color contrasts work throughout the home, but contrasts of color and scent are not a good idea because they take away from the feeling of balance in the room. Representing The Feng Shui Elements in the Dining Room Decorating a home in the feng shui style means that each room within the home should represent each of the five feng shui elements. Representing the feng shui elements in the dining room is very simple once you understand the basics about these five elements. Each has a strong presence already in specific rooms, such as metal in the bathroom or water in the kitchen, and sometimes it is only a matter of balancing the other four elements in the most efficient manner. Water The water element is important in the dining room, since it represents the very foundations of life. Represent this element in a powerful way through color, shape, patterns, and icons, meaning that you have a broad range of ideas to

39

match almost any dcor or style. Water and metal work very well together, but keep water away from the earth to avoid destruction and chaos in the dining room area. Fire Fire is one of the most powerful of the five elements, since it is very destructive but necessary for passion and energy. Like water, you can use many different methods to represent fire in the dining room, but one of the most common choices is by placing candles on the dining room table. Lit or unlit, they are a reminder of togetherness, romance, and passion, and a great way to add a touch of fire without overwhelming the room in energy. Earth Another representation of our humble roots, the earth element goes back to the things that we need in order to survive and is symbolic of family together time. Earth is best paired with fire, through a variety of artwork and color combinations usually, but keep the earth representation away from the water element to avoid disaster. One of the most popular ways to represent earth in the dining room is through crystal, such as a chandelier, or glassware. Metal Although metal is another powerful element, it is not one of the most powerful elements in the dining room. It cooperates very well with the water element, such as a metal-framed photograph of waves, metal and glass aquarium, or many forms of modern artwork. Many people use metal accessories to represent this element, but coins and tigers are great ideas for something unique to represent metal. Fire and metal do not mix, and should be kept far away from each other to prevent disaster. Wood Finally, the wood element is often easily expressed in the dining room through traditional or modern furniture choices, from the dining room table and chairs to china cabinets and buffets. Live plants are also a common choice to represent the wood element, especially blooms to add fragrance to the space. If you do not represent wood adequately, you could add an air of depression in the dining space, making few people want to return to the room. Balance the wood with water for a great combination, but avoid pairing woods with metals since they cause chaos within this space. Feng Shui Decorating Tips for the Dining Room There are many different ways that you can add specific feng shui elements to the dining room, but you will also need other methods of representing the colors, shapes, objects, and styles that are important. Feng shui decorating tips for the dining room are diverse, depending on the overall style that you are hoping to achieve, so we will begin by helping you narrow down the selection. Having a particular focus will help you decide what works in your feng shui style dining room, and give you more time to enjoy the fruits of your labors. The two biggest factors in the dining room are food and sharp edges, as these have some of the biggest impacts on the environment of the room. You can destroy balance without the simple reminders that follow. Food is Essential

40

You want the focus in the dining room to be on food and dining, since eating is the reason for this space in the first place. Use different accessories to symbolize food, such as crystal accent pieces or centerpieces that are in the shape of fruits. A great mirror reflecting the food accessories that you choose will emphasize your abundance and blessings, and it is also a beautiful and classic addition to the dining room space. Use a frame that emphasizes the look that you want, from modern contemporary framing to something more traditional. Real food is important too: It cannot be overstated that the way that you plate and serve meals to guests, visitors, family members, and friends makes a big and long-lasting impression. Plate neatly and cleanly, and use your meal presentation to make people want to come back to your dining room. Use matching dinnerware whenever possible, bringing a sense of unity to the meal and heightening the positive energy and balance in the room. Representing Color Unless you are one of those people who love rainbows, cornucopias, or china cabinets filled with knick knacks, chances are good that you will be searching for ways to represent everything necessary for feng shui without overwhelming the room in colors, shapes, and objects. You can do that easily with prints, photographs, and other wall decor or decorative objects, as long as you know what works best in the dining space. Pay close attention to things that would take away from the appetite, thereby decreasing the appeal of the room, and you will achieve your ultimate goal in this space. Keep things soft and mild in the dining room, avoiding sharp edges or harsh lighting; this approach will promote peace and tranquility. People will feel more invited and hungry when they are most comfortable, so use tips and tricks that work best to soften the look in the room. When you cannot avoid a sharp edge, such as the edges of the table, it helps to soften the look with a great tablecloth in a soothing shade, for example. The same goes for harsh lighting, which can make the room feel cold and uninviting. Soften the look with a lampshade or lower-watt light bulb. Making The Fire Element Part of Your Dining Space Although not one of the strongest or most prevalent elements for your dining room, the fire element is still an important part of balance and feng shui. If all five elementsearth, metal, wood, fire, and waterare not represented, then the chi will not be balanced in your home and the negative energy will outweigh the positive. Making the fire element part of your dining space is important, and not as difficult to do as you might imagine. Color, shape, and symbols are all adequate representations of fire. From the most obvious ideas, such as the color red or images of the sun, to less noticeable objects, such as a red envelope with Chinese coins hung above the door to the space, fire is a simple element to represent in any room. Your dining space will become a more passionate and prosperous room by making sure that fire is represented adequately. The Color of Fire Fire can be represented through a variety of bright, vivid, vibrant colors that make an excellent addition to a dining room. Shades of red, yellow, orange, pink, and even warm shades of brown are great choices to represent fire in your dining space, and they work for shades of paint, accessories, furniture, centerpieces, focal points, and much more. The dining room is one of only two rooms in the home that can handle the energy and passion of the color red for more than just a small amount, along with the living room.

41

Since red represents passion and energy, along with the fire element, it should be used sparingly throughout the dining room in order to avoid overwhelming the room with fire. If you choose to paint an accent wall red, do not use the red anywhere else in the dining room. Most feng shui experts recommend red only as an accent color throughout the house, since the power of fire quickly overwhelms the other five elements if used too much. The Shape of Fire To get an idea of the shapes that represent the fire element, picture a flame in your mind, and you start to get the idea that upward pointing triangular shapes are critical. Think of other hot things as well, from sunbursts to campfires and more. Triangles, diamonds, pyramids, and similar shapes are all perfect representations of fire in the dining room, and your dining space is made richer and more passionate with a simple shape. Objects such as volcanoes, and any light source, are also representations of fire in the southern bagua. You can use a print or figurine to easily symbolize fire. For instance, a bronze sunburst wall hanging or a framed photo of a campfire makes great ideas. Combining the shape with the color red is a great way to boost the fire element in the room, but be careful to avoid overdoing it and throwing off the chi balance. In the case of elements such as fire, less is more, and it takes only something simple to achieve a big goal. Using The Earth Element In A Dining Room Contrary to popular belief, there are actually many different methods of using the earth element in a dining room when you are designing the room in a feng shui style. You do not have to find a drawing of sand or use a globe in order to accurately represent this important element in the dining are, nor are you forced to keep a jar of dirt under the table. There are many unique methods of introducing the earth element without resorting to something tacky or inappropriate in the space where your family gathers for meals. Clay Clay is made from materials found in the Earth, like dirt, so it is a great way to represent the earth element. There are many forms of clay to incorporate, such as pottery, artwork, terra cotta, and things made from ceramic. You can find some really elegant artwork featuring clay or terra cotta, and it goes well with a southwestern themed dining room, even with the feng shui style. Clay is versatile, meaning you can find many different objects that feature clay in some form, either as the foundation material or subject thereof. Jade Similar to clay, jade comes from the Earth, so it is appropriate for use in the dining roomor any other roomto represent this element in a beautiful way. Since feng shui comes from China in the first place, you can easily find pieces that suit your design without looking out of place. There are thousands of jade statues, figures, artwork, and dcor options if you know where to look. They may cost a bit more, but it is worth it for the good luck that jade brings. Rocks Rocks and stones are a very simple way to introduce the earth element in a very beautiful and unique way in your dining room. You could find a beautiful stone to place on a shelf, or a great rock fountain to promote tranquility and still look modern. Water features are beautiful additions to any room, and they bring a sense of calm and tranquility

42

into the room with them. This is helpful in a dining room, where so many people with different personalities and ideas meet together frequently. Brick Brick is another beautiful way to make sure that the earth element is adequately represented in your dining space. From fireplaces to artwork, you can find many different things that feature brick and brickwork. A great print of a historic brick building is interesting and unique, and you can easily make a focal point out of any wall art or artwork choice. Furniture Finally, one of the easiest ways to introduce the earth element is through the table in your dining room. Rectangles are one of the shapes that signify the earth element, as long as the table is wider than it is long. Earthy colors, such as greens, browns, and pale yellows work great for dressing up the table to represent the earth element, just do not use bright shades of any color or it will attract negative chi into the dining room. Using the Metal Element in a Dining Room The west/northwest bagua may be one of the most difficult to represent in the dining room, since the metal element is not commonly associated with this area. However, there are a few ways that you can include this very important element, which is symbolic of prosperity and intelligence, among other things. Here are just a few examples of how you can use the metal element in a dining room. Circles and Ovals Shapes such as these are symbolic of the metal element, and can be used as a means of representing metal in the west/northwest bagua when you are decorating using feng shui techniques. As you can imagine, this makes characterizing the element much simpler than you might have initially thought, since there are so many ways to introduce these shapes into your dining room. There are many accents, accessories, focal points, and wall art pieces that offer this shape, and many are inexpensive. One example of this method of introduction is to use an oval-shaped mirror to represent the metal element. A metallic finish is beautiful, and a common choice for mirrors anyway, so adding the metal is a goal you can accomplish quickly and with little hassle. Mirrors, even the heavier ones, are typically not very expensive, and most home decorating stores offer a wide variety of suitable mirrors. Crescent-Shaped Artwork The crescent is another common symbol for the metal element, and you can find dozens of artwork pieces to use as a suitable characterization of this element for positive chi flow. The moon-shaped crescent is a popular idea, and you can easily combine with the earth element for maximum effect. Avoid using a sun, or other symbol for the fire element, as this has the opposite effect and allows the flow of negative chi into your dining room. Since the circle is the traditional feng shui representation for metal in Chinese culture, combining crescents and circles is very popular with those using the feng shui decorating style. Items with a metallic finish heighten the positive chi

43

flow, maximizing your dining rooms positive chi potential. As always, the more you combine, the better the result in this type of situation. Bells, Coins, and Other Metals This is a wonderful opportunity to introduce a glass or metal curio cabinet into your dining area, since adding knick knacks such as bells, silver or gold objects, and even aluminum or steel products is a great way to represent the element. Coin collections and pictures of coins are also common, as these are another suitable method of characterizing this important element in your dining room. Since the earth element is the best element to pair with the metal element, using a paper album to display your coin collection is a great idea. It allows you to showcase something beautiful, represent the element in a suitable way, and spend little money if you already have the coin collection. Whether it is a very rare coin, something valuable, an heirloom, or just a sentimental piece, this is a stunning example of how you can use things that you likely already have to easily symbolize the metal element in the dining room.

Importance of Feng Shui Dcor In Your Entryway The first impression that people have of your home comes from stepping into the entryway, especially that allimportant first visit. Feng shui dcor is all about balance and prosperity, with the utmost importance placed on yin and yang and chi. Your chi is your life force, so providing balance within your home, work, and personal life will help you in every aspect of life, from finances to love life and travel. For this reason, the importance of feng shui dcor in your entryway cannot be overstated. Typically, the entryway is divided into two distinct spaces: the front door and the entrance. Each has a unique job for providing positive energy for and from your home, so each should be designed to maximize that spaces potential. Without a few simple touches, you could be limiting your familys prosperity and happiness, and you can improve the same with just a few simple steps. Here are some tips for improving feng shui in both aspects of your entryway: The Front Door The front door offers more than just curb appeal for your home, since it is one of the first things that a visitor or guest sees of your home and therefore has a lasting impression. Most feng shui designers decorate the front door in shades of red, either by painting the door red or framing it in red, so that positive energy, prosperity, and passion flow both ways through the front door with each time it is opened. That way, every time the door is opened, more positive energy flows in, and you release positive energy to the world. The view from the front door is critical, and you want to avoid open doors leading to the bathroom or bedroom whenever possible. Shut these doors, or offer some sort of screen that blocks view of them if they have to be left open for some reason. Wall art, such as a great mirror or landscape print, work well to make the space feel open and spacious even if the entrance is small. Since scent also plays a role in the first impression, making sure that your home smells nice is also pivotal at the front door. The Entrance Your entryway is more than just the front door; it is also the few feet in front of the door that make up the entrance to your home. For some, this may be a foyer or entrance hall, while for others it may be as simple as a table to set your hat or lay your keys on. Whatever space you have set aside for your entryway, make sure that you use it to make

Maximize the spaces potential with fresh seasonal flowers in a vase, with a great mirror hanging above.

Mirror and entranceway feng shui FAQ Q Where the mirror should be located according to the entranceway? A The mirror has ability to enlarge and strengthen all the things which are reflected in it. If you have feng shui harmonized entrance door, the mirror will strengthen positive energy. If not it will strengthen negative energy that flows through the entranceway. Too small doorway will not allow enough Chi to enter the home, but placing a mirror on the either side of the door or on a wall opposite the door, will solve the problem. FENG SHUI FOR THE ENTRANCE WAY It is important that the flow of Chi from the front to the back of your home is not hindered. It is also best to have it flow through in a meandering path and not a direct line. Entrance ways off the street or through your garden to the front door will determine the qualities of Chi that flow into your home. Therefore it is important to use curved pathways or garden beds. Breaking up the direction of pavers to allow curved lines will also help. A birdbath, fountain or a small pond along the way will balance and improve the qualities of Chi.

Kitchen Remodeling the Feng Shui Way Kitchen remodeling can be one of the most exciting renovations in a homeowners life. The thoughts of a brand new kitchen, filled with light and airy space, can be almost too good to be true. Unfortunately, many homeowners never take into consideration the ultimate effects that the layout and design of their kitchen will have on the familys well being and sense of energy once it is completed. Instead of focusing on kitchen designer magazines, look to the principles of feng shui for inspiration and design. The tips below can help you get started. Forget Crowded There is a country song that touts wide open spaces, and for the kitchen remodeler who wants a feng shui style kitchen, those lyrics should ring true. The best feng shui principle to adhere to in the kitchen is to keep the space open and airy. If possible, have plenty of natural sunlight filtering through the windows and gracing the space. The more open and bright your kitchen is, the more comfortable you will be when you are cooking or preparing a meal. So, if you are debating adding in another island or are thinking about going bigger on the countertops or appliances, think again. Feng shui focuses on energy flow and in the kitchen that is vitally important. Less Clutter Equals Fewer Appliances When you start your kitchen remodel and remove everything from your existing kitchen, take a look at all of the appliances that are in the space. The juicer, dehyrdrator, bread maker, toaster over, toaster, popcorn maker, and

48

more all add to the visual clutter in your kitchen. If you do not have adequate storage for all of the appliances out of sight, think about which ones really get used by your family. If you have not made fresh squeezed juice for over a year, it is definitely time to donate that juicer to a charity. While you may momentarily lament the fact that it is gone, you will be much happier knowing that your kitchen is less cluttered. Feng shui principles emphasize keeping the kitchen simple and eliminating unused appliances is one of the best ways to do that. Color Is Important Just like with every other room in the house, the color that you select for your kitchen should be in line with feng shui principles. A bright, cheerful kitchen will increase your energy flow and make the space a happy place to be. A yellow kitchen, for example, will not only help stimulate the appetite, but it will also increase your energy throughout the day. Yellow is a particularly happy color that can lift your mood and make the kitchen a space where people enjoy being. Tackling a kitchen remodel is a big job for anyone, but for the do-it-yourself homeowner, the challenges can be even greater. Instead of focusing on all of the things that can be crammed into the kitchen space, try thinking about what can be removed to provide a more open, airy kitchen. You will be amazed at how comfortable the space will feel when it is completed. Eco-Friendly Appliances Are Good for Kitchen Feng Shui Feng shui is not just about balance from a symmetry aspect, although this is one of the key characteristics of the room. It is also about making better decisions for your home, decisions that have a positive effect on the house and your life in general. In many cases, this includes those choices that are better for the environment, such as eco-friendly appliances, which are good for feng shui too. They balance what you use with what you save, and this increases the positive energy in your kitchen. Brand Names You do not have to sacrifice style or brand names when you choose to replace your current kitchen appliances with choices that are friendlier to the environment. Many of the top brand names in kitchen dcor offer appliances that conserve water, use less electricity, are made from more durable materials, and are easier to clean. Although most television shows focus on stainless steel refrigerators, most energy-efficient models are also available as dishwashers, stoves, garbage compactors, and other handy kitchen appliances large and small. Many retailers that sell kitchen appliances offer a variety of eco-friendly choices from top brand names, and the price will depend on the name. Although brand name affects price, sometimes we can afford to budget just a little more to be able to afford a great name for a product that should last for years. This is investing in the long run, and the wisest investments have a positive lasting impact on kitchen feng shui. Cost As mentioned before, some factors affect the price when you purchase kitchen appliances, especially models that are designed for high efficiency. It can seem like the best choices are also the most expensive, and sometimes this is true. Consider your grocery stores health food selection, and compare the cost of buying organic foods to junk food. They often are so different that you have to adjust the budget drastically when you decide to diet.

49

Keep in mind that sometimes the additional cost is worth it, especially when you are investing in your familys future. When you make choices that are better for the earth, you invest in the future of your family for several generations, even with one small contribution such as new appliances. We cannot regenerate what we lose with each generation; we can only conserve as much as we can for the next generation and the ones to follow after that. Summing Up So, is it worth it to buy an energy-efficient appliance just to satisfy kitchen feng shui in your home? It is if you can find room in the familys finances to replace models that are outdated or less eco-friendly. However, not everyone can squeeze this amount from the redecorating budget, so you have to prioritize what absolutely has to be done above what can wait until more money can be set aside for appliance replacement. Unless the appliances are broken or not working like they should, this is a project that may be categorized as can wait. Designing a Perfectly Yellow Kitchen Yellow is a versatile and cheerful color and a great choice for a space where you want to add energy and vitality every time you walk into the room. Since it is so bright and vibrant, many top feng shui experts believe that designing a perfectly yellow kitchen is an excellent decision. It symbolizes energy and alertness, and is a far better choice to add passion into a room than red, which overwhelms the space quickly. Choosing the right yellow is very important as you design your kitchen, so that colors do not clash or run together. Here are tips on choosing the right shade of yellow paint, based on choices available at most home improvement stores and home dcor retailers worldwide: Its hard to go wrong with pastel yellow paint. Choose a shade of yellow paint that looks lighter than you want. In many cases, the yellow dries at least a shade or two darker than what you see on the paint chip and you do not want to end up with school bus yellow in the kitchen. A lemony, pastel yellow is an attractive shade that always looks fresh and warm . You could go just a little darker if you want the yellow to really stand out, but pastels are ideal for kitchen walls, where the focal point is the appliances or an eat-in table area. Yellow can overwhelm a room if it is too dark. As mentioned before, yellow has a tendency to dry darker than you might think, so be sure to balance the yellow with other shades. For example, if you have chosen stainless steel appliances and light wood flooring, consider going with something neutral to break up the energy. A chocolate shade is a great choice as an accent color, but most shades of blue are also a good choice to represent the water element in addition to yellows fire element. Watch the undertones! Like most other colors, yellow has a unique color spectrum that can lead toward shades of green, orange, and brown, depending on the shade. As you choose the perfect shade of yellow for your kitchen, watch the undertones so that you are not unpleasantly surprised when the paint dries. You can normally tell what the undertones are by where the shade is on the paint wheel or color spectrum, but ask an expert if you have any doubts. White does not look as bright next to sunshine yellow. If you are hoping to achieve a country kitchen look, yellow and white may not be as ideal as they look on a sketch or television show. You have to be very careful about mixing yellows and whites as they tend to clash if you do not pick just the right shade of each. They can also tend to blend together if the shades are not distinctly different. Any time you want to utilize white stay away from pastel yellow or cream, and lean farther toward butter or squash shades of yellow, which are more vibrant and noticeably different.

Importance of the Earth Element in the Kitchen The earth element is one of the most important elements for your kitchen, since it relates to feeling satisfied by food, nourishment, and food preparation in general. It is very important to represent the earth element in the kitchen, and there are many different ways to do it effectively without having a globe or rock garden in this space. First, the importance of the earth element in the kitchen cannot be overstressed, since without it the food you make may not be satisfactory. What Is The Earth Element? The earth element is the representation of where we live, the globe that gives us life and nourishment. There are many different ways to represent this element, depending on the rest of your dcor and your individual taste. Color, shape, pattern, and artwork are some of the most popular methods, and you do not have to spend a lot of money or go into a lot of detail to represent the element effectively. In the kitchen, things are often chaotic and hectic, with people moving in and out doing a variety of things throughout the day and often into the night. The earth element represents stability and steadfastness, a very important balance to the chaos. This is why most people represent earth with stone or clay, since it is pulled directly from the earth and is an excellent means of indicating permanence. How Does Earth Affect Food? To answer this question, consider the origin of almost every form of food that you can imagine. Many wind up in a factory, but the humble beginning of most foods is the ground, or the Earth. Fruits, vegetables, and grains grow directly from the Earth itself, from the dirt that was the foundation of man. Many animals are fed from things that grow from the earth (such as grains), and a few eat things still growing. Representing the earth is important to make the food we eat taste better and truer, and to help retain the healthiness that eating right offers. Without the earth element, cooking becomes chaos, and we are robbed of the nourishment that our bodies need in order to live happy, healthy lifestyles. This helps us bring into clearer focus just how important Earth is to the kitchen space especially. Are There Many Ways To Represent Earth? Representing earth is very, very easy, and this element is one of the easier to represent within your home. A stone vase or mug, clay pottery, a basic square shape, the color yellow, rectangular shapes, flat shapes, and similar ideas are great starting points. Jade artwork is very effective too, and this can help you create the perfect focal point for the kitchen area. As a final note, representing earth can come in more subtle forms too, such as offering a recycle bin for all things that can be recycled. We take much from the earth every year, and there are few ways to give back to the planet that gives us life. A small way to represent earth is by composting and reducing your carbon footprint throughout your entire home.

Representing Metal and Earth Elements in the Kitchen When you think back to your earliest childhood memories, you will often have memories of meals, cooking, and spending time together as a family around a dinner table or in the kitchen. Therefore it should come as no surprise that the kitchen should be one of the most balanced areas in your home in order to keep the positive chi flowing throughout. Although each of the elements are represented with the basic design of the average kitchen, there is some balancing that still needs to be done to counteract the dangerous fire element , so representing metal and earth elements in the kitchen, along with others, is still essential. Metals Importance Because metal is the direct opposite of fire, it is the most important addition to the kitchen that you will encounter. While it can be disastrous to overwhelm the room with the metal element, since you do not want to completely destroy the fire element, you have to add more metal than is usually present unless you have stainless steel appliances. The stoves fire element can quickly outweigh all of the other elements in the room, so be very careful to balance the fire with the addition of metal in the kitchen. Adding metal is not a difficult job, and it can be as simple as purchasing energy-efficient and eco-friendly stainless steel appliances. When this is not an option, consider a great metal sculpture for the corner of the room, or a metal wind chime to hang in the kitchen window. It is all about balancing the power of the fire element with the coolness of the metal element. Whether you do it with something made from metal or something the color of metal, such as gray, silver, gold, copper, platinum, white, iron, or similar shades, it is important to remember to balance fire with elements like metal and earth, which we will discuss next. Earths Importance Earth is another critical element in the kitchen, because it protects against fire and can really have a tremendous impact on the room. Although it may sound like a great idea to add a lot of earth representations to balance the fire element, doing this may entirely quench the fire element and therefore throw the home out of balance again. Use it sparingly, much the same as you would the fire element, and it is often a great idea to stick to using the earthy shades, colors, patterns, prints, and accessories on the walls and flooring or somewhere subtle. Of the five important elements that make up the feng shui decorating style, earth is already the most stable and calm element, so it does not take much in order to achieve balance and maximize the positive chi flow in the kitchen. Earth is more than dirt; it is actually everything around you that is alive, from trees and grass to mountains and caves, so you can easily represent this important balancing element with a simple live plant, beautiful rock or rock formation, or clay pottery.

Using the Water Element in the Kitchen The kitchen is the easiest room in the house to decorate with the feng shui style, since so many of the elements are represented by the things in the modern kitchen, from fire to water and more. Using the water element in the kitchen becomes more about placement than representation in many cases, since something as simple as the kitchen sink or dishwasher represents water without adding anything else. Colors, shapes, and placement are the key to balance in the kitchen when decorating in the feng shui style.

52

Colors in the Kitchen Expert feng shui decorators advise steering away from most blues near the stove, since the water would overwhelm the fire element if placed near the stove. Instead, find a way to balance the water element without overwhelming the other elements, especially fire, which is the opposite element. Without balance, the energy in the room becomes skewed and you may discover problems beginning to arise quickly and without warning. Waters elemental colorblueis a great option for the eating area in the kitchen, but it should not overwhelm the space. For instance, you could have barstools upholstered in blue, or a blue tablecloth, or blue napkins. Blue balances overeating by dampening your appetite, meaning that you eat less before you feel satisfied. Since you should avoid decorating your kitchen entirely blue due to other elements, accessories become your best way to add the water elements best representation shade. Shapes of Water Water is a liquid, which is obvious, so most people begin to wonder how you can actually represent water by shapes. Waves and wavy lines are a perfect representation of water, just be sure to avoid placing them near the stove and other fire representations in the kitchen. Pictures and prints of water, such as a flowing river, work well, especially hanging above the kitchen sink. Most big-ticket appliances symbolize water, from the refrigerator to the dishwasher, so it is not difficult to guess what sorts of items can be used. Shape is secondary to color in the feng shui style, so if you are unsure as to whether the shape is right for water go with the flow and choose something blue. Placement is Critical In the kitchen, elemental placemen is essential, and the most critical aspect of decorating using the feng shui style. Mixing elements that are in opposition to each other, such as having your kitchen sink next to the stove, can lead to unbalanced chi and negative energy. Since your kitchen has the most traffic of any room in the house, it is the most important to balance if you want a good family life at mealtimes and more. It is not just the sink that you have to worry about placing; the fridge, dishwasher, and freezer contend with the fire element for the same reason. If there is no practical solution to the problem, find something to represent the earth element and use it to moderate the fire and water and avoid clashes of the two elementals.

The Effect of Organization on Cabinet Feng Shui Each part of your kitchen can be affected by positive or negative energy, depending on a few very important factors. The cabinets can be a primary source of negative energy if they are chaotic and cluttered, or a great source for positive energy if they are organized and clean. In this article, we will take a brief look at the effect of organization on cabinet feng shui in the kitchen. Positive vs. Negative Energy

53

Positive and negative energy are attracted by cleanliness or chaos, respectively, and in the kitchen the primary source of organization comes from the cabinets. If you just put things away wherever, with no sense of organization or order, the result is an unorganized chaos, and there will be no positive energy flow from that part of the room. This also drains the positive energy from the rest of the room, and could leave you with nothing good to come out of the kitchen, from meals to family together time. In order to maximize the potential of something as seemingly innocent as kitchen cabinets, keep them organized and tidy as much as possible, with a logical order to the items stored in each cabinet. Not only does this increase the positive chi, it also looks great, adding value to your home and increasing your potential return on investment (ROI) should you ever decide to sell the house. Whether you are interested in a future sale or not, keeping things organized will help you with each meal that you prepare. How to Organize Cabinets Start the project by seeing what you have, dividing things up into a logical order, such as bowls in one place, plates in another, and serving bowls in a different place. Stack the items that can be stacked, giving yourself a rough idea of how many items you need to store within the cabinets. Once this is done, you can start setting up the cabinets more efficiently. If you see that you have too much to fit into your available cabinet space, begin to weigh your options. You could prioritize; putting the things you use less often on a top pantry shelf or in the attic. You could give away or sell the things that you do not use at all. Or, you could simply try rearranging the stacks or using organizational accessories to make the space more efficient. The Right Tools Organization is not as difficult as you might initially think, with some help accessories offered by most cabinet companies today. Most are not very costly, and they will make your lifeand your organizational projectmuch easier. They can be found at the vast majority of home improvement stores, and with some online retailers, especially brand name cabinet companies. Lazy Susan technology has been introduced as a vital part of cabinet organization, with inserts that allow you to utilize even corner cabinet space effectively. Some offer pull out shelves, so that getting things is even easier. There are many different sizes to choose from, depending on the width and depth of your cabinet and cabinet door size. 10 MAIN FENG SHUI TIPS FOR KITCHEN 1.

Adding metal for a modern feng shui living room means finding the perfect complements to the cool tones and clean lines that make up the more modern dcor styles. Several methods of adding metal are available in the living room, although some are far more commonly utilized than others. Furniture

56

Most people choose to add metal through furniture accents, such as metal legs or armrests, and this is a beautiful and trendy option. There are many different furniture brand names and styles that offer great metal accents, including grommets, supports, decorative accents, and more. For the living room, this often includes couches and chairs, but you can also find entertainment centers, bookcases, shelving, as well as other accessories, accents and wall dcor that will match. Brand name furniture that features metal accents, or is made entirely of metal, is very trendy today, and most interior design experts recommend some sort of metal accent in every modern living room. It often comes in the forms of wrought iron, brushed or polished nickel, stainless steel, and similar options, although brass and gold overlay are also options. Repurposed metals are also very popular options for those trying to choose more eco-friendly furniture. Accessories Another common choice is to add metal accessories to the living room, creating beautiful dcor styles and focal point options. Metals are cool and classic options, and the perfect complement to the cool color palette preferred for the more modern design styles. Stay away from accessories that look outdated, and stick to the more modern and contemporary styles. Some of the more common metal accessories for the living room include modern artwork, end tables or coffee tables, shelves, and similar ideas. The types of metal are usually the same as the furniture, including many different versions of nickel, brass, silver, iron, and sometimes a hint of gold. It depends on your budget, dcor style, the type of furniture or accessory, and similar options. Artwork Since the focus of a modern and contemporary living room is the modern artwork as a focal point in many cases, make sure that you choose something that showcases a form of cool metal. Although most of us think about a framed picture when we envision artwork, it also includes statues, busts, abstract artwork, and anything that you and your family consider a form of artwork. You can have a lot of fun choosing metal for your living room feng shui, but keep in mind that it is represented by more than just basic metals, such as the color white, circles, tigers, and coins. Since metal is one of feng shuis five basic elements, it is important to represent it so that your room is balanced and positive energy is maximized, using the methods that we have described and many more. This makes your life happier and fuller, and adds peace and harmony to your home.

Feng Shui Design Elements for the Living Room Aside from the kitchen, the living room presents one of the largest amounts of traffic in your home, and this is also one of the first rooms that guests and visitors see once they are inside your home. Feng shui decorating is a very unique decorating choice, in that although it is very trendy and contemporary, it is an ancient decorating style that has been used for centuries in homes in China. Designs for the living room that obey feng shui rules but still look great are easy to find in many different places, from online stores to traditional home decorating stores.

57

Elemental accessory designs are classic, but still a great option for contemporary living room dcor. It is becoming very trendy to take something traditional and turn it into something different and modern without losing functionality. For example, a wood buffet can easily be transformed from a dining room storage piece to a living room entertainment center with storage for CDs, movies, games, electronic equipment, and much more. The buffet represents at least the wood element, but can also be used to represent the metal element and sometimes an earth element, depending on the pieces design style. Rocks are not reserved for fountains as a part of living room dcor. Its not uncommon to use a stone or faux stone fountain or similar water feature in the living room. This is a common decorating touch for the modern living room, and it is a sufficient and stylish addition to represent the metal or earth element. However, there are other ways to use rock in the living room that look great and represent the elements, such as a vase made from stone, modern artwork featuring a rock wall, or a print designed to mimic the face of Mount Everest. Wood furniture is classic and traditional, but not the only means of adding a touch of wood or earth to the living room space. If you want to keep things simple and elegant, wood furniture choices are ideal and there are hundreds of types of wood available, in both eco-friendly and other designs. However, consider that great print of the Black Forest in Germany. It represents wood and earth in a beautiful way, and with a great frame it becomes a modern focal point that can be highlighted with a spotlight or similar focal light in the living room. Fire comes in many forms in the living room as well. A fireplace is suitable to represent the fire element, but not always a feasible option for every living room space in every home. When we talk about representing the elements in entertaining ways, you can think about other ways to utilize elements that are suitable without being commonplace. For instance, a stone representation of the pyramids in Egypt as a focal point in the living room works well with a middle-Eastern dcor style. This can make a great choice for a shelf or mantel decoration without overwhelming the room in fires passion and energy.

Living Room Feng Shui: Representing All the Elements Like any other room decorated in the feng shui style, the living room should be about balance and order. Balancing yin and yang in the living room is about finding the right placement for things, especially furniture and accessories, so that the right element is represented in the right place. Representing all the elements in the living room for proper feng shui is not difficult, and many elements are represented with the furniture that you would choose anyway. Feng shui dcor does not need an expert in design, simply some basic tips. Here are some simple tips for making sure that all five elements are adequately represented in your living space, in no particular order: Earth The earth element is one of the easiest to represent, since you can easily use furniture to represent the earth. Coffee tables are commonly used, since the shape of most modern coffee tables, a long flat rectangle, is a perfect representation of this element. Adding a terra cotta vase adds to the earth element and completes this portion of your living room. To utilize color, greens, browns, and similar earthy tones are great, and grays add a representation of rock.

58

Water Accessories make excellent representations for the water element in your living space, such as a great aquarium or artwork depicting flowing water. You can use a variety of methods for representing any element, but the living rooms water element can be a bit tricky if you do not want to choose artwork. Color is one of the simplest ways to add the water element, through blues and blacks and similar cool colors. Fire Unless you have a fireplace, fire is another somewhat difficult element to represent adequately, since you are limited to upward-facing objects such as triangles and sunbursts. This is another case where color can be your best bet, through vibrant reds and yellows and similar warm and hot shades such as pinks and oranges. You could choose a great bronze sun as a focal point in this space, especially if it features lots of warm colors. Metal Metals are very easy to add to your living room dcor, since there are so many varieties to choose from and so many beautiful things that can be made from metal. There are dozens of metal objects that you can choose, from great pewter picture frames to furniture with metal legs. Color is also an option, with great grays and metallic shades like silver and gold. White is also among the metal elements colors, so consider using this shade a lot throughout the room. Wood Last but not least, wood is commonly associated with earth when designing in the feng shui style, but doing this eliminates the fifth element and causes chaos and unbalance in the living room. Wood is an element of itself, and you can represent it very easily through hardwood flooring, furniture, bookshelves, end tables or coffee tables, and much more. Blue and green are most commonly associated with life and growing things, so use these colors along with browns to represent wood through color.

FENG SHUI LAMPS Lamps are very important in interior feng shui, because lamp is an element of fire. Fire element is the strongest of all feng shui elements. It should be used carefully and well thought-out. If fire sector is negative for your, you shouldn't place any lamp in the fire gua sector (south).

For instance, if you work from home but have a traditional office too, orange would be ideal for your home office. Shades that have strong orange undertones achieve the same goal, such as shades of yellow, red, or brown. A Glass Ceiling While most of us are not literally going to have a glass ceiling, the idea that the sky is the limit is a great image for the home office. For this reason, a shade of white, a pale neutral or a pale pastel is a perfect choice for the ceiling.

Shades of Blue We will start with a color that you should actually avoid having in your home office, unless you are a writer or use writing as a major part of your career. Blue is a creative shade, but it is also very soothing.

Yellow represents clarity and vitality, and it is a great choice if you want to focus on your work and stay motivated. Strict attention to detail and calendar obligations are also necessary and the color yellow represents discipline, which is very important for those who earn their income solely from home. Brown is the New Neutral Although neutrals are often viewed as the go-to shade when all other shades have been eliminated, browns are perfect for designing an office with as few distractions as possible. Neutrals will shift your focus away from the decor and toward your work, increasing your overall productivity and therefore your income. Use it for a small office to make the room feel less oppressive or as an accent shade in any home office. Adding Energy to Your Workout Space with Color For most of us, it takes a lot of extra energy to get the gumption to exercise every week, and even more gumption to make a healthier workout regime a part of each day. One of the best ways to add the right energy is to eat healthy and make good lifestyle choices, but adding energy to your workout space with color is also important. The part of your home that you work out most in should be full of life, energy, and positive energy, and color is a very easy addition that makes a huge difference. Feng shui dcor is about achieving balance in the space, not about mystic objects or yin-yang dcor styles. Balancing energy and peace will help eliminate chaos in this space, dispelling the negative energies, which invites more positive energy into your workout area and the home in general. This should be your goal with every home renovation project, so it helps you add value and potential to your home, regardless of what room you are designing and what budget you have available for that particular project. Red, red, red! The color red offers the highest amount of energy that a color can make available for your workout space, but use it sparingly. Too much energy and passion can strip the room of peace, and add too much chaos. Whether your workout space is a part of your living room, basement space, master bedroom, or somewhere else, a little bit of red goes a long way. Balance is a vital part of feng shui dcor, so balance the red with a shade that is peaceful and neutral for maximum results. Similar to red, oranges and yellows are vibrant and add a lot of power, warmth, and energy to the space. Use them just as sparingly as you would red, but make sure to incorporate these bright and energetic shades to give yourself that additional bit of pep that is so important for a good workout. Accessories are a great way to add reds and other vibrant shades, but you can use them on focal walls with the right balance of peace.

Avoiding Peace Although a peaceful, tranquil home is normally your goal as you are decorating any space that you frequent, but you want to avoid too much peace in a space that you want to use for exercising. Balance the passion of red with the peacefulness and tranquility of greens and blues so that you get all of the emotions and characteristics that you need in order to feel great right after the workout. The neutrals will balance the passion enough to make cool down periods just as effective as warm-ups. Blue is the direct opposite of red in terms of energy versus peace, passion versus tranquility, and vibrant versus cool. Warmth and cool work together and coordinate very well, and the balanced feeling is amazing for a workout area. Adding shades that offer neither, such as black or white, give the perfect finishing touch to the space, and can really make the area feel complete.

Where to keep books according to feng shui Q Where to keep books according to feng shui? A Book is considered to be Wood element. The color of book jacket makes the wood element stronger or weaker. So books should be stored at the place appropriate to the Wood element. To make stronger wood element (if it is positive to you according to individual feng shui map) you may wrap the book in a piece of green or blue paper. To smooth the Wood energy, wrap the book in a piece of white, silver or gold paper.

From Cubicle to Corner Office - Feng Shui Tips for Success If you are trapped in a small cubicle everyday at work, you know how limiting it can be. Views of the outside are rare and feeling cramped and crowded is common. In fact, cubicles, by their very nature, are limiting in energy flow. This presents a big problem for those who want to get ahead in business, but who must first deal with the effects of a

66

cubicle workspace. The tips below can help increase your productivity and the energy flow in your space which can lead to more success and a more fulfilling career. Know Your Zones The first thing to do is to know the zones of your cubicle and address them individually. It is important to nurture success and growth by not crowding those spaces on your desk. In fact, many feng shui experts suggest that there by no more than nine items on your desk at any one time. If you are in the sales business and need to make important and timely calls as part of your success, place the phone in the area of wealth on your desk. A simple rearrangement can mean a much different feel about the work that needs to be done. Whats That? Most cubicles come with the desks positioned in such a way that your back is forever to the entrance. This is especially nerve-racking and can provide some very negative energy. Place a mirror on the wall to give you a clear view of anyone approaching or entering the cubicle. This will put your mind more at ease, as well as open up the proper flow of energy. Whats in a Color? Color also plays an important part in your success. In feng shui, red and purple are especially powerful colors when it comes to wealth and success. Purple attracts money and should be used around the means that you use to generate sales. For instance, place a purple flower on your computer monitor if you use it to gather leads and make sales. Red should be used to increase the flow of success and can be used to attract attention to your efforts. It is important to use the colors in moderation, but also to make sure that you are using them in the correct locations. Take the time to map out your cubicle space, especially your desk, to ensure that you have the most productive flow of energy. Having framed pictures of your family, as well as, your dreams and goals is important. In a cubicle it can be difficult to fit all of those aspects into the space, but by including them in moderation, they can lead the way to your success and that corner office that you have always dreamed of. No matter how big or how small your workspace is, if you are trying to get ahead and be recognized for your achievements, take the time to employ the simple, yet effective feng shui ideas that can make a big impact on your life.

Encouraging Feng Shui in Your Office Place As any corporate worker knows, there is more emphasis placed on productivity than on creating a feeling of balance and contentment in the workspace. While this may be understandable to some degree, there is the very real truth that a worker who feels more comfortable in his or her work environment is more productive than one who does not. You may not have the power to change all of the elements of your offices interior, but the ideas below may help you create a space that feels better for you and, thus, makes you more productive at work. Lighting Most offices have large, overhead florescent lights that not only make you look bad, but make you feel bad too. Without a softer, more gentle light in your workspace, your productivity will suffer. To combat the glaring florescent lights, have a small lamp in the south corner of your space with a 60-watt light bulb. This gentle light will cast a warm glow on your space and instantly make you feel more comfortable when working.

67

Desk Position If you have the ability to move your desk around in your office or cubicle, consider repositioning it so that your back is not to the entrance of your space. If possible, position the desk to the side so that you are not directly facing the door or entry point, but your body is off the side. Encourage your employer to allow you to reposition your workstation so that you can be the most productive. In Good Shape It is important that all equipment and furniture in the office remain in good, working order. If something breaks, fix it or have it fixed as soon as possible. A workspace and office that are fully functioning are not only good for productivity, but they are also good for morale. Employees feel much better about coming to work at a place where the equipment and furnishings are maintained and well-kept. Red Inspiration Red is a popular feng shui color and should be used in the office or workspace. When placed in the south corner of the space, it encourages productivity and success. Keep a decorative red vase or candle in the south corner of your cubicle or desk to help the flow of energy. Even a fresh, healthy bouquet of red roses or other flowers in the workspace will change the energy of the space to a much more productive one. Open the Doors It is essential that all of the doors in your office open fully. While you may, with good reason, want the doors closed at times, none should be hindered by items placed behind them. Be aware of people storing boxes of copy paper or other items behind the doors and move the obstacles out of the way as soon as possible. Encouraging good feng shui in your workplace helps not only you, but your co-workers and employer, as well. They may never have thought about colors and the positioning of workspaces, but with a bit of encouragement you can help them see the importance and impact of such changes. Before long, your companys employees will be more productive and your work environment will be much more pleasant.

Increasing Productivity With Feng Shui Office Decor Your home office is your source of income if you work from home, and the main source of income if your job allows you to work entirely out of the home office. Balancing dcor styles is a great method for increasing productivity, such as with feng shui office dcor tips. These maximize your productivity, not necessarily making you work harder but more efficiently and effectively in order to get the most income possible out of your home office space. Do not put your back to the door! Even in the home office, the door is symbolic of clients and business, and you want to greet the front door by facing it whenever possible. This increases the positive energy flow into the room and encourages new business in your direction, meaning increased income. If there is room, place the desk so that you can sit behind it and still face the door, but in some cases this is not possible. In a smaller office, angle the desk in a corner where you can still face the door without having to take up the majority of available space in the room.

68

Add symbols of wealth and income as accessories. Whereas most people would use colored rocks in a glass container as an accessory idea, consider faux coins, which symbolize money and wealth, so that you see the coins and your mind automatically thinks of money. This will inspire your desire to earn money, effectively increasing productivity. Colors that are money and royalty-inspired, such as great metallic shades, are also effective methods of increasing your profitability. Choose a room that maximizes natural lighting whenever possible. Light affects many things in your home office, from your mood to your physical well-being. Without adequate lighting, you could begin to develop headaches or eyestrains from staring at the computer screen. A large framed mirror will take the place of large windows, and open the blinds or curtains during the day so that your home office is flooded with the rays of the sun, adding more energy to the room and increasing your productivity. A safe symbolizes money and prosperity, so be sure to put your home safe in the office space. A large or small safe is an effective means of symbolizing the wealth and valuables that you want to fill it with, thereby increasing your drive to produce, provide, and earn more money. Although a safe can be a somewhat costly investment, it is worth it for additional protection for your valuable documents and other things that you may want to protect (such as antique jewelry, for example). Tidy office spaces are symbolic of organized finances and sound business decisions. Organize the files so that you know where everything is, keeping the clutter to a minimum and the room as tidy as possible. Since your files and documents represent your business and clientele, treat them with the same respect that you would show someone who is paying you to do a good job. Even a small office can inspire productivity if it is well organized and neat.

How to Combine Office Furniture with Feng Shui Technology and feng shui do not always go hand-in-hand, and sometimes our best efforts to combine what we need in the home office with the elements of feng shui go unrewarded to say the least. It is important to know how to combine office furniture with feng shui design elements, so that you have everything you need for success in your stay-at-home job. Whether your goal is increasing productivity and profitability or simply designing a home office that looks great without losing functionality, there are ideas that suit any dcor style and office choice. The Transition Look Some people want a home office that represents the nine baguas and five elements without an obvious shift in design style in the room. Others want very clear differences between the various areas in the home office, presenting clean lines and marked transitions from one space to the next. A transition look gives you a chance to use either method to give your office a distinct look that says something about your personality and creativity. One example of stark transitions is to start with a vivid focal wall, then add a great mirror above the desk, and finish the look with modern furniture and contemporary accessories. The office does not have to be sterile and technologically advanced, although these qualities are very helpful to some degree. Add touches of color and elegance in the home office to give it a personal touch; this is especially important in a home office to keep the home environment atmosphere without losing the motivation for work. You can do this with living plants and mirrors, and similar accessories that do not overwhelm the room in scent, color, light, or distractions

69

from what is most important. Natural light and scent are great combinations for the fire element and similar elements, and when combined with the other necessary elements you represent the ingredients for success. Focal Points It may sound strange to think that you need focal points when you are decorating in the feng shui style, but you still need places for your eyes to rest as you spend time in this room each day. When you have something to look at on occasion, your brain can take a break and this gives you time to regroup and refocus. Your productivity increasesand therefore your profitabilitywith advantages like these, and anything that helps you focus and make more money accomplishes your primary goal in the home office. Color is the best way to break up a neutral color palette, which is a very common choice for the home office space. Bright, vibrant blooms will disrupt the monotony without destroying the harmony and balance in the space, and they also provide a great way to introduce the earth element into the home office. Prints of living things accomplish the same goal, bringing in a feeling of life and growth into a space that can feel overwhelmed in paper and stress each day. This is important whether your home office is your primary source of income or something secondary to supplement your familys monthly finances.

Must Haves For Your Feng Shui Office Just like any other design style, there are certain key elements that are required in order to decorate your office using the feng shui style. Without them, you might as well try a different style, because the feng shui will lose its effectiveness and you are wasting your time and money continuing with the project. Here are some basic must haves for your feng shui office, at home or a traditional office space: All Five Elements Earth, water, metal, wood, and fire are the five elements crucial to maximizing positive chi in any room. Without even one, yin and yang are not balanced and the entire design scheme crumbles. Worse yet, you could attract more negative chi and your life could suddenly begin to fall apart, from bad financial decisions to poor health. Each of the five elements should be represented in their proper positions, too, never just randomly thrown together. Make sure that you do your research, in order to understand where each of the elements should be placed in your office. Proper position will ensure that each aspect of your life affected by those elements is taken care of properly. All Nine Baguas There are nine distinct zones in a feng shui circle, ranging from north to south and back again, each with a correct place in your office or home office. The baguas affect specific aspects of your life, from career to family and even money and travel. In order to know what goes where, and to make sure that everything is as it should be, you should be familiar with the nine baguas, including the center bagua, and each ones correct placement.

70

The concept of feng shui is not a new one, and neither are the baguas, or what they represent individually and as a whole. These concepts and ideas have been around for thousands of years, originating in China and gradually spreading worldwide. Longevity alone for this type of design style is an accurate indication of the effectiveness of feng shui. Distinctive Colors Each bagua and element is best represented by specific colors, such as white, blue, red, yellow, and black. That does not imply that you should paint each of your walls in a rainbow of colors in order to represent the distinctive colors that are must haves for your feng shui office. You can use accessories, accents, and artwork to make a bold, creative statement and still follow the positive energy flow in your office or home office. Again, it boils down to some serious research in order to ensure that you put harmonizing colors together and avoid destructive color palettes that ruin your hard work. Just like there are some elements that should not be paired together, such as fire and water, some colors go against each other as well, and these can create chaos in your home office and seriously affect your creativity and job performance. In turn, this can begin to cause some serious problems for your paychecks too. Ensure that everything is in the right place and with the right neighbors, and then your feng shui office will be perfect.

Home Office Organization for Positive Chi A lot of feng shui design articles discuss how to use the elements correctly, what colors should be represented and where, and how you should balance yin and yang in order to maximize positive chi in your home office. However, very few touch on the fact that home office organization for positive chi is critical, because without organization, clutter and chaos take over. You block positive chi and maximize the negative aspects of chi, creating a virtual nightmare in your home office space. Chi is an important part of productivity, which in turn affects your profitability, or how much you make. While a home office may not seem as important if you work at a traditional job, those who work from home may rely on their home office almost like a source of income outside of the job. Therefore, it is critical to use all of your resources to maximize a rooms potential, so that you can focus on what needs to be done in your life and on your job each day of your workweek. Organizing the Clutter The most important first step is dealing with the clutter that quickly takes over a disorganized home office. It is nearly impossible to stay on schedule in every aspect of your job if chaos reigns in your home office area. Without knowing what you are supposed to do, and what deadlines need to be met, your productivity and profitability wane, and the loss of income can quickly begin to affect your family life. Start simple, by separating things into boxes or bins of what needs to be kept, thrown away, given away or donated, and recycled. Deal with the boxes as soon as you are finished separating the things in the room, before procrastination and second-guessing cause you to keep more than what you actually need. Once this is done, begin organizing the keep things in a logical way.

71

The Best Home Office Organization Tools Just like any other job, having the right tools for home office organization is just as critical as the job itself. Shelving is great for books and ledgers, but will not organize paperwork or your schedule. File cabinets are perfect for organize paperwork into manageable chunks, so that you can easily find invoices, bills, order paperwork, paid items, and more when you need them. A daily, weekly, or monthly planner will help you organize your days so that you can get more done and meet more deadlines. Once you can see your desk again, make sure that you organize this space as well. Many retailers offer drawer dividers and inserts that make organizing small items, such as pens, pencils, paper clips, and thumb tacks easy. Others function more like a caddy, holding a multitude of items that you can keep in a place that is easy to reach and convenient without it looking unkempt. Dividers inside your file drawer also make keeping track of paperwork easier, with labels that show what is where by name, month, year, or function.

Representing Elements in A Home Office There are five elements in the feng shui doctrine - earth, fire, water, metal, and wood -each of which should be adequately represented in your home office if you are trying to maximize your positive chi and make the most of the rooms energy. If you miss even one element, you may be opening yourself up to chaos and destruction, based on the specific element that is lacking in the room. Here are some ideas to help with representing elements in a home office: Earth You can represent the earth element in a variety of different ways, depending on your personal taste and what you want to promote in your office. Jade statues are perfect to ward off fire, and this is a great idea in a room where you leave equipment, like a computer or laptop, running almost constantly. A ceramic or clay pot with a live plant is another excellent idea, as it represents the element in two different ways, with a growing plant and clay or ceramic, which come from the Earth. Fire Obviously, you cannot light a fire in your home office as a means of representing the fire element. Instead, use bright colors or bright artwork to represent the fire element in a dramatic and unique way. Live flowers in bright reds and yellows are perfect, as long as they are not in hanging baskets. In addition, natural lighting is a very good representation of fire, since it involves the sun, which is one of the main symbols for fire. Water It is easy to represent the water element in your home office without going to a lot of trouble or making a mess. A small fishbowl is a perfect choice, and they are normally very easy to maintain. Artwork that features the ocean, wavy lines, a lake, or a pond is another excellent choice. Deep blues and grays are ideal colors for representing this element, as are trace amounts of black, even though water is technically transparent. Metal

72

Metal can be one of the trickier elements to have represented in a home office, because so many people find metals to be cold and lifeless. The legs on your desk may be metal, and that is a great representation of this element, as would be a metal planter for live plants. The shinier the better for positive chi attraction, as dull metals tend to repel positive chi and attract more negative energy. Wood The easiest element to introduce to your home office is wood, since there are so many diverse methods of using this element. Potted plants that grow upward are perfect, and tall, thin bookshelves made from wood are another great representation of the wood element in a home office. Deep browns, leafy greens, and shades of true purple (those without gray undertones) are ideal to decorate with, but be very careful not to use too many of the earth element shades to represent wood. You can use artwork and wall art, murals or prints, as well as furniture and accents to represent wood beautifully and creatively.

Designing A Feng Shui Home Office Feng shui, or the art of using aesthetically pleasing design to bring balance to something in particular, is one of the most sought after design styles of the modern era. As more people learn the benefits of arranging furniture, colors, accessories, and foliage to benefit the home, office, or garden, they discover that it can be a life-changing event to everyone. Designing a feng shui home office can change your career in many different ways, starting with how much you can do or how creative you can be, and finishing with your overall profits and future goals or success. Productivity Overall productivity, how much work you get done in a given amount of time, relates directly to profitability, so maximizing wisdom, creativity, and career-based emotions or goals should be a priority if you want to succeed in your job. Colors like black deal with career, although blues can be symbols for wisdom, and whites are symbolic of creativity. If you combine smarts with insightful ideas, you quickly begin to accomplish more than you ever thought possible. Add some additional energy and positive chi, and you will soon discover that your day flows much smoother and more productively than before. Profitability As before mentioned, productivity is directly linked to profitability. After all, if you do not accomplish what you need to do during your work day, it becomes difficult, even impossible, to make money at your job. Unless you are the boss and have dozens of people working for you in order to increase your assets, chances are good that this can really affect job performance and opportunities for advancement. All of these combine for a poor payday, which can wreak havoc with your day-to-day life. Adding colors like purple to your home office gives you an opportunity to promote wealth and prosperity, but you should always put these colors in the right place. This maximizes the use of color, and keeps negative chi at bay more

73

effectively. Order and organization is the key of feng shui, in order to create balance and positive chi for everyone who enters that space. Color Importance You cannot just choose colors that have significant meaning and scatter them helter skelter around the home office for success. To achieve success, be sure to do your research and learn what parts of your home office are the best conductors for each color, by utilizing bagua graphs and similar resources. Do not overlook one particular bagua or color simply because it is not your favorite color; each color is just as important as the next on the wheel. Structure is pivotal, and perfection is the goal when you are prioritizing your life for success, and this can include making long-term career goals. These goals are best accomplished with the right kind of help, and sometimes a bit of luck, which you can realize with the right colors, furniture arrangement, accessories, and so on with feng shui design for your home office.

Applying Feng Shui to your Office Many websites and articles focus on feng shui in your home, garden, or a specific room, but few mention the importance of feng shui principles in your home office or workplace. However, these office feng shui principles will show you just how important even the smallest details in your office can be, from the position of your desk to the colors you decorate and accessorize with. 1. Face the door. This has a common sense explanation: your clients, customers, and other prospective business associates, traditionally enter through the front door. Facing the door, whether you are working from home or in a traditional office setting, will promote better business and overall prosperity. 2. Position your desk so that it is not directly in front of the door. Although you should face the door, your workspace should not be in line with the door. The negative chi will flow in from that direction, so making sure that you face it without being directly in the line of fire is important. Position your desk so that your back is toward something strong and supportive, such as a wall or a corner. 3. Computer placement depends on your job. If you write for a living, or utilize ideas for income, then make sure the computer is located in the north/west sections of the office. When the computer is the source of your income, place it in the southeast section if possible to maximize your wealth and prosperity. 4. Hide cords and take care of files. This will improve the chi in your office by effectively removing the most common danger zones. In addition, your files are often your most important job aspect, so taking care of them will improve your overall success. 5. Mirrors should be a no-go in the office. Introducing mirrors offers a means of reflecting the bad chi from customers to you or vice versa. Avoid them if at all possible. 6. Feng shui is all about balance. Balance colors to heighten and maximize the positive chi in your office. If you add a bright color, balance it with a dark or neutral tone somewhere else. This also includes textures, for example soft versus hard or rough versus smooth.

74

There are many accessories and color palettes that signify the best office feng shui principles: Since not every accessory or color is appropriate for every office, you can research these principles on line and choose the ones that are the most appropriate for you. The simplest additions, from a wind chime to a small aquarium, can create a very drastic difference in the long run, so making use of each item can bring about tremendous results in a very short time. Use your resources, such as Internet articles or advice from feng shui-knowledgeable friends, to create the most harmonious and balanced office possible, maximizing your general productivity and discovering new sources of income and overall wealth in your career, at home or in the workplace. Finally, since feng shui is all about harmony and balance, avoid clutter. De-cluttering your office may take some time and effort, but it is well worth it to remove all sources of negative chi in your office. After all, this office is often a clients introduction to you and the job that you do, and first impressions last much longer than any initial discussion or presentation. Make the best impression with a clean, tidy office and feng shui principles.

Feng Shui Office Colors for Positive Chi Balance and harmony are just as important at work as they are at home, and more so if you go to work in order to create your income. After all, if your workplace is the best representation of your prosperity, wouldnt you want to choose to maximize its potential? Office feng shui can best be accomplished by the use of colors, since the elements and the energy flow, or tai chi of the office can be most suitably established with color. This is usually the only way to introduce feng shui, maximize positive chi, and minimize negative chi in a way that your boss will approve of, whether you have a real office or just a cubicle or desk from which to work. Bright Colors Shades: red, yellow, orange, bright purples Bright of red and orange are all about energy, which translates into productivity (and therefore prosperity), so choosing those to represent the fire element is critical. Yellows are symbolic of power and control, and these are very helpful in a job situation, especially if you are a member of management, team leader, or just hope to be in control of your career. Purples represent creativity when you use bright shades, so adding these to your office can be a great idea if your job requires imagination on your part. Neutral Shades Shades: brown, white, pastels, etc Although most people think of neutrals as anti-colors, they are actually very effective ways of creating balance, which is a fundamental principle of feng shui. For example, a neutral shade of brown represents career stability, critical during this crucial time of job upheaval and unemployment for so many people. Avoid shades of gray, as these are indicative of gloominess or depression. Dark Tones Shades: blue, green, black, et cetera.

75

Use black sparingly, but be sure to incorporate it in the room as a symbol of power and financial success in your job. Greens offer peace to the office, but should be used sparingly to avoid a decrease in your productivity. After all, you cannot really rest or sleep at work, so steering clear of colors that are more serene will be the best way to achieve workplace success. Instead, add blue, which promotes calmness and stability. Color Balance Make sure that you balance your color choices in your office or cubicle, adding some of each to promote overall balance and positive tai chi. When you choose something that is bright, add something darker or neutral for balance. Similarly, if you add an accessory that is soft, consider something hard to balance, and the same goes for rough versus smooth, and so on. Balance is the key when creating a feng shui office, and the best way to promote balance is by the use of color, texture, and shape. Summary To put things simply, using your baguas to create the best overall environment for your office is essential. Maximize the positive chi and minimize negative chi by using feng shui colors and office layout. Even if you are only working with a home office or cubicle, this can increase your productivity and profitability in the long run.

Feng Shui For Your Cubicle While feng shui for your office is important, not all of us have a real office at work that we can decorate to our liking. A great number of us have only a cubicle for our own use, and we are rather limited in how we can decorate this area. In fact, we rarely even have a say as to our desk placement or position, let alone the ability to make major changes to our own space. Here are some helpful tips for adding a feng shui element to even a cubicle:

If your desk does not face the entrance of your cubicle, it is acceptable to use a mirror to reflect negative chi and maximize business potential.

Since customers and clients traditionally enter the door, you need to be able to greet each with a smile and a welcoming facial expression. Use a mirror to see the entrance if you cannot position your cubicle so that your desk faces the entryway. There should be no mirror in your cubicle if you face the entryway. You can also use pictures of water, such as beaches or lakes, to promote the career bagua in your cubicle.

Clearing Clutter to Improve Your Mood Feng shui is all about flow and balance. If your home is cluttered, that flow and balance is hampered and the feel of your home is less peaceful than you may desire. In fact, the more cluttered your home, the more stressed you may feel. Instead of looking at de-cluttering your home as a chore to be dreaded, look at it as an opportunity to bring peace and tranquility into your space. The tips and tricks below can help get you started. Start Small If the thought of tackling that crowded living room is more than you can handle, start small. Start with the cluttered, disorganized drawer in the side table next to the sofa instead of the entire room. Even the simplest acts of cleaning and organizing can make a huge difference in how you feel about the space. Clutter eats away at the sense of peace and tranquility that can exist in the house, as it is a constant reminder of disorganization in life. Start small and then move on to bigger projects.

81

A Little At a Time Another step to clearing out the clutter and making your house more feng shui oriented is to clean a little at a time. Instead of tacking the entire room, start by spending five minutes each day picking up pieces, putting things away, and getting rid of trash. Make it a goal to get rid of one item each day, whether it is a broken piece that belongs in the garbage or a piece that can be donated to charity. By taking just a little bit of time each day, by the end of a month, your home will be significantly less cluttered and you will be excited to see what else you can clear out. Closet Clutter Another culprit of non-feng shui living is having cluttered closets. Clothing closets are usually the biggest culprits, because many people have trouble getting rid of old pieces of clothing. When you have less cluttered clothing closets, it takes a lot of the stress of trying to find what to wear out of the morning routine. Start by going through every piece of clothing and determining if it is a piece that has been worn within the last year or will be worn in the very near future. If it has not been worn within the last year, donate it to charity. Not only will donating pieces that you do not wear help de-clutter your closet, it will also be, in many cases, a tax deduction depending on which charity you donate to. Your clothing that is no longer being worn, can be a treasure for someone else. Feng shui is not as much about drastic, quick changes, as it is about feeling comfortable in your own home. The best way to do that is to have enough space in your home to live and move around comfortably. Do not get discouraged if the task of de-cluttering seems overwhelming. Instead, look forward to making small changes and eliminating the clutter gradually. Over time, your home will be the stress-free, feng shui decorated space you desire. Feng Shui Colors to Enhance your World In Feng Shui, there traditionally are five elements which can be used to help create harmony and balance in your life, as well as to encourage the flow of positive energy. There are colors associated with these five elements that you can use in your home and work surroundings to enhance your life. Water Colors The colors associated with the water element are blue and black. The water elements are often associated with the career aspect of a person's life. Pictures or paintings of water landscapes are an excellent way to bring the blues and blacks of water into your surroundings.

Muted colors in the red family can be used as accents and wall art for the home. Fire elements are associated with the south area.

82

The element of earth is associated with earthy colors such as beige and light yellow. Earth is associated with stability and nourishment, and offers protection for your relationships. You can bring these colors into your surroundings by adding terra cotta tile, or natural crystals. Earth elements are associated with the northeast and southwest areas. Wood Colors Wood is the element that brings vitality, health and healing into your space. It is representative of the energy responsible for growth, and is often considered an expression of abundance. This is why it's also often associated with prosperity and wealth. Brown and green are traditionally the colors associated with wood. Plants are a good way of bringing these colors into your living space. The east and southeast areas of your living space are associated with the wood element. Metal Colors The metal element brings lightness and clarity into your home. It represents precision and efficiency, and is often associated with things that are creative or helpful. The colors associated with the metal element are white and gray, along with the metallic colors. A metallic wind chime is often a good way to attract this type of energy into your home, as is wrought iron decor items. Metal elements are traditionally used in the north area. Ways to Use Feng Shui Colors Although traditional Feng Shui uses these colors in specific areas, and in specific ways, you can also use them to create more of an overall effect within your home. For instance, using these colors in your overall home decorating scheme can help bring the associated types of elements into your home. They also have an effect on how you think, feel and behave, and can enhance the quality of your life. Choice of a favorable place for a house Feng Shui is secret and partners of Fortune are on friendly with Feng Shui, because Feng Shui gives real chance to plunge a life of each person in absolute comfort. You heard expression "born under a lucky star ". Feng Shui can become such happy star for many people. Peculiarity of happiness in the same time becomes not the fact of a birth, but the fact of carves a home by the person. For example, to fill life with the absolute happiness is possible correctly having chosen a place for the house. If you attentively peer into an environment, you will see that in the mornings fogs settle in lowlands. Also the energy shrouding the ground plunges in lowlands together with fogs. In lowlands it collects, then stagnates. If the house is located in lowland, the person feels himself at house constrained and moves as bearing a burden or overcome obstacles. What are the recommendations of Feng Shui for house? Feng Shui does not recommend to build houses in lowlands because in this houses it is necessary to spend forces for performance any work much more, than in more favorable places. If you are going to construct the house, do not build

83

it in lowlands. If you climb on the highest point dominating over district, you feel availability of influence of winds from all directions. You feel southern wind, northern, western, east and feel an opportunity of influence of all wind rose. Whence a wind blows, it cannot pass the house which stands on the highest point of district. Such house will be subject to constant influence of winds, whence they would not blow. People living at such house, will constantly feel tension because energy streams together with winds will constantly attack them. At such house it is necessary to spend for any activity so much forces, how many it is necessary for work and resistance of constantly attacking energy. It would be good, if this energy keeps back for a while in the house and filled their owners with force. But in the house which is on the highest point of district, it is impossible, because a wind, dispersing energy, having attacking influence on the person, carries this energy beside, creating an additional tension for owners of the house. The best place for construction of the house is the place located hardly above the midway between lowland and the highest point on district. At this level descending energy streams do not collect, and smoothly going down, as though caress the house and the people living in it, filling with energy approximately as the azure sea wave fills with energy of the person. In turn, ascending power streams fill the house and inhabitants with inspiring force, optimism, health and activity of mind and body. In houses located at this level, are born healthy and strong children. In addition, pleasure from sexual feelings attend people living in such houses more often because this level of location of the house promotes actively increase of sexual abilities of inhabitants of such house. In such houses, there are seldom dissonances because of sex, and families are famous for their fortress and unity. In the houses located at a level hardly above an average level, animals do not ill, and the ground, as a rule, gives plentiful crops. This level is optimum for a choice of a site. Choosing a site, it is necessary to pay attention to the rivers and roads. The rivers and roads are ways of energy movement. If the road comes near to your house, it means energy comes near also. If your house is located so, that visually is made impression, the road leaves from your house, it means, that there is a picture before your eyes, when energy leaves such house. Everything that is connected with roads is possible to relate to rivers. If the watercourse is directed to your house, energy arrives to you. If current carries away the waters from your house, energy becomes less.

84

In order to retard energy, it is possible to correct its movement. For example, if the road passes by your house, it is possible to create a small platform before gate, which would resemble backwater and would carry out function of the tank for energy accumulation. Often such platforms are small analogues of the areas before office buildings. Create before a gate of the house such small area and thereby you will create the additional tank for energy collection. The same concerns to the rivers. Create small creek that the watercourse did not carry waters by your house. Let the flowing water carrying energy, will a little be late in your backwater and will work for happiness of your family. It is very good, if road or the river carrying energy to your house will have meandering form. If the river or road is meandering, energy has no opportunity to be dispersed till the high speed and to turn in poisonous. Especially direct roads transform salutary energy in poisonous. In addition, it is necessary to avoid places alongside with express lines. If nevertheless your house has appeared near to such road, it would be good that near to your house there was a pedestrian crossing or a road sign limiting speed of movement. In this case cars will be forced to retard the speed and in that way, slow down, to promote accumulation of energy near your house. Braking, cars will transform poisonous energy of highways into favorable energy, which will bring Success in your house unexpectedly and quickly, forcing eyes to shine from life satisfaction.

Feng Shui Aquariums Feng Shui aquariums are popularly believed to be a powerful way to draw auspicious chi of prosperity and good luck into your space, they are believed to be a wealth chi and also serve as beautiful additions to the house. The water symbolizes the flow of life, of growth and the activities of living things. The motion and sounds of the bubbling water as it moves throughout the fish tank activates and increases the positive energy of the area bringing good fortune, wealth and abundance. Feng shui aquariums have the balance of all the 5 elements and this makes them an extremely useful thing to have: 1) The water element is pretty obvious since the aquarium contains water. 2) The wood element is represented by the plants in the aquarium.

3) The metal element is signified by the round shape of the aquarium. Two other ways of incorporating the element of metal into an aquarium include placing old copper coins below the tanks substrate material or adding gold colored fish such as golden arowana or gold fish. If you use old coins make certain the metal will not harm the fish. 4) The earth element is signified by the gravel and the rocks inside the aquarium. 5) The fire element is shown by the lighting and also certain fishes have fiery colours. A feng shui aquarium should be placed in any corner needed water according to your personal feng shui map, it would be best placed in the south-east part of your residence as wealth and abundance are usually connected with this area, but this is possible only if this corner is positive according to your personal feng shui map, this you can learn from out e-book Create your luck with personal feng shui. But never place a fish tank in the kitchen or the bedroom. The goldfish is the most common fish to use in your aquariums as they are extremely hearty and symbolize wealth. One other type of fish that can be used in aquariums is the dragon-fish but these tend to be pretty expensive. Make sure you have at least 1 black coloured fish in the aquarium. Fishes bring good luck I must say its not actually true. Fishes dont bring luck; they move water making it more active. Water activates energies. If water activates favorable energies then yes you will have good luck but not because of fishes. Further more you can use the benefits of numerology and put in your fish tank 9 fishes. There must be eight goldfish and one black fish. Gold will attract the good luck and the bad luck will be taken by the black fish. One thing you must keep in mind is to keep the aquarium clean and regularly clean out dead plants. If you do heed all these steps, then your feng shui aquarium is sure to bring in a lot of wealth chi.

CHOOSING RIGHT HOUSE One of the most pleasant things can happen with a person is moving new house. You have some difficulties in choosing the right house? Although there are some rules in transferring to a new house, you should first of all choose the house to transfer in. Many people are more and more conscious about the positive effects of Feng Shui in their lives. So answer the questions below they will help you choosing. Question #1. What is your first impression of the house? It should be welcoming, there should not be plants or trees blocking the door or the path to the house, there should not be cracked or broken basement or walls. Question # 2 What is the story of this house? Ask the Real Estate agent or the neighbors and find out what happened to the family living in the house that you are interested in. If the family moved because of any problems (illnesses, money, accidents etc) this is not good chose. The moved family should be happy and surrounding houses also should be inhabited with happy people. This is good feng shui. Question # 3. Where does the house situate? The ideal location for a home is gently meandering street. The Cul-de-sac position has stagnant Chi this means that you will always encounter the same problem. Straight streets (if they do not have any traffic humps) have fast Sha Chi flowing and your life can become an uncontrollable whirlwind. Question # 4. What do you see when looking out from the main door?

87

Anything that you feel is threatening to your entry is called in Feng Shui a Sha or Poison Arrow(power boxes, antenna, tree or lamp pole neighbour roof corner, cactus, rose bushes. Before your main door should be small open area. POISON ARROW CURES Place a plant over a corner to soften or cover the edge. A sharp edge of a bookshelf faces your workstation. Place a trailing plant on the top of the book edge for it to cover the harsh edge. Move the poison arrow You have a straight pathway to your front door. Reshape the path to be curved or strategically place plants along the pathway to make it appear curved. As you walk on the path your eyes should wander at the landscape and not directly focus upon the front door. Crystal in a window The sharpness of a rooftop enters the center of your living room. Place a crystal in the window to disperse the negative energy. Buy a crystal the size of a golf ball. Cover the windows. Your back window faces a hydro tower, place a crystal in the window and stain glass or cover the windows with blinds to let the sunshine in but keeps view of the obtrusive tower out. Choose Round Furniture Oval and Round Tables are most auspicious. Rectangular shapes causes poison arrows and needs to placed correctly not to upset anyone in the home.Put rounded safety edges on the table to round the table. This round edge will remove the poison arrow.

POISON ARROWS OR SHAR The Feng Shui principle of poison arrows is they are Shar Chi known as Killing Breath. The killing breath does just that, it destroys the chi in its path and is detrimental to the residents of the home. Feng Shui warns against Shar Chi or the killing breath. This brings misfortune and a great deal of bad luck, and are caused by the presence of secret Poison Arrows. The shar chi from the poison arrows need to be blocked, diffused or removed.

FENG SHUI TABOOS FENG SHUI TABOOS 1. Avoid ying energies (this energies are good for cemetery), prefer yang energies: fresh and clear colors for your interior are the best choice. Yang energy stimulates TV or radio in work, all self-moving subjects clocks, light curtains, wind chimes and so on. Yang aspect of life should prevail in your home or apartment over ying aspect of calm and death. This ying aspect can be only in your bedrooms, but keep the harmony. However, excessive yang energies are also very negative. 2. Plenty of corners is the second taboo in feng shui. The consider the plenty of corners, f.e. of tables, shelves or corners formed by the walls, "wound" energy flows, and making this energy negative one. Prefer rounded tables, corners formed by the walls should be hided by a creeper. The arch windows, wall embrasures and doorways prefer the rectangular one. Every edge, like a cutting knife edge, (f.ex. edges of the shelves of your bookshelves without the cover) pointed towards the sofa, armchairs, beds and tables- this is the potential threat to your wellbeing and health..

FENG SHUI CALENDAR ON TRANSFERING TO A NEW HOUSE Transferring to a new house is a very important step that can change your life totally.

The right choice of the day when you transfer to a new house will help you transform your life into a easy way to happiness, prosperity, well-being, health, career and bring luck to your children and be-loved. On Chinese tradition the transferring to a new house should be made on the rising moon in the morning in one of the best days. Additionally the best time for moving is sunrise, when its clear, without clouds. At this time you should transfer to the new house at least the biggest subject of furniture, for example, the cupboard. This subject should be of imperial sizes. Imperial sizes bring success in all spheres of life. Each size has a definite meaning. Some sizes are good they are imperial sizes. Others are bad and bring misfortune to your life.

Use Feng Shui Throughout the Home for a Healthy Marriage All couples go through some periods during their relationships when there is a question as to their commitment and the strength of their bond. For many, the home becomes one of the tension points in the relationships, because of the various chores and duties that must be performed on a daily and weekly basis. While there is no cure for chores, there are ways that you can incorporate feng shui concepts into the home to help make it a more harmonious space. Relationships cannot be fixed with feng shui but the ideas below can help take care of some of the feelings of stress that a non feng shui home can provide. Clean House Feng shui experts time and time again reiterate the fact that clutter is a defining aspect of a spaces energy. When you are trying to create a home for a healthy marriage, it is especially important to clear out the old energy and welcome in the energy of a healthy environment. Start with the areas that you frequent the most and give them a thorough cleaning. The entryway, the living room, the kitchen, the master bedroom, and the bathroom are great places to start. Tackle each space, one at a time, and clean out the clutter that has taken hold of your life. Be particularly mindful of clearing out the things that both partners do not agree on. For example, if there is a large floral wreath in the living room that the husband despises, donate it or throw it away. Likewise, if there is a neon beer sign in the kitchen that the wife cannot stand, sell it or donate it to charity. The key to clearing out the clutter is to create a space that both people can enjoy and that is filled with things that they love together. This will be, by far, the biggest part of the project, but truly the one that has the most impact.

95

Two-by-Two It is also a good idea to take a look at the items in your house and see whether they are in pairs, triples, or singles. Things that are in pairs have a better, more positive, feng shui aspect for married couples than things that are in odd numbered sets. For instance, a trio of candles does not have nearly the same feel or impact as a pair of long tapers. A pair of matching end tables looks and feels a lot better than two distinctly different pieces. Visually, it is important to create a bond between the furniture and accessory pieces that are in the space. Not only will your home looked neater, but it will give a clear indication that there is a pair of people living in the space versus two mismatched people. Feng shui principles may not be able to solve marital problems alone, but they can go a long way toward creating a more pleasing space. It can mean the difference between feeling comfortable in the room and feeling out of place. Not only will the house feel better after using the simple tips above, but by working together to create a better space, the marriage will be even stronger.

Feng Shui for Singles Single life brings with it challenges and opportunities that married life does not have. Instead of lamenting the fact that you have not found your true love yet, take heart that there are some easy and practical feng shui tips that can help you get to that point faster. As with all things, a positive outlook begins within and shines through in your personality. Let the feng shui tips below help you achieve that attractive inner happiness you so desire. Whats In Your Bedroom? Just because you are single does not mean that you should let your house or bedroom become a cluttered mess. If your bedroom is cluttered with clothes, shoes, and more miscellaneous things than you can even remember buying, it is time to tackle it and clear out the space. One of the most basic feng shui principles is that there needs to be good, positive energy flow and an order to the things in your space. For the bedroom, that means neatly putting things away, picking clothes up off the floor, and taking the time to straighten the area at the end of each day. Get the television out of the bedroom, as well. Televisions provide distraction and over-stimulation which is not conducive to a restful place. Quiet music is a much better way to wind down at the end of the day. Not only will the room feel better after you de-clutter it and take out the television, but it will also lead to a better nights sleep. A better nights sleep will, in turn, lead to a more well-rested and happier you. Color Me Happy Color plays a huge role in our attitudes and thoughts. Instead of surrounding yourself with dull neutral shades, bring some happy colors into your life. Yellows, reds, purples, and pinks can all attract happiness and positive energy. If you do not want to add a lot of color, work it into your home or apartment by using colorful frames, throws, or accent pillows on your neutral furniture. Happiness will be reflected in the colors that you add, so add them abundantly throughout your space. Wheres Your Relationship Corner? While you may not completely buy into the effect of feng shui in your decor, take a chance and map out your Bagua, or energy fields in the house. The Southwest corner of your home is considered to be the Relationship area of the home. This area should be decorated with romance and passion in mind. Red is a great accent color for this space. Be

96

sure that if you include accessories, that you do so in pairs. A pair of candlesticks or a pair of picture frames, for example, demonstrate the visual pairing which you hope to transfer to your relationships and love interests. No matter how old you are, being single can be a great time to explore feng shui principles in your homes decor. Not only will clearing clutter and decorating with beautiful, colorful objects make your home more attractive, it will make you feel better. As everyone knows, a positive, happy person is much more likely to attract positive, happy relationships than someone who is depressed. Feng Shui Tips for Stronger Marriages The goal of Feng Shui is to achieve balance in all aspects of life. And there is nothing more delicately balanced than the relationship of marriage. Its delicate nature makes it particularly susceptible to the flow of destructive energies. There is no better place to learn Feng Shui tips for stronger marriages than in the bedroom. Make Room For Love Think of the flow of energy, called chi, as a ripple on a clear pool of water. The ripple rides along the surface, unimpeded and uninterrupted. This is the visualization of how the energies should flow in your life. Now, think of a ripple riding on the surface of a briny, backwater pool cluttered with debris. The ripple clashes, collides, and shatters into chaos with no clear pattern or form. Consider this Feng Shui tip for stronger marriages: prepare for positive chi by making room for it to flow; get rid of the clutter in your bedroom. Clutter turns your home into a backwater pool of disruptive energy. Know Your Southwest Spot Feng Shui practitioners counsel married couples to pay special attention to their southwest spot. The southwest corner of the bedroom correlates to love and relationships in Feng Shui. This area should be well lit and remain free of clutter, sharp edged furniture, and protrusions which impede the flow of positive chi and hinders the escape of negative chi. Put Something Nice On Feng Shui is all about dressing the part. If you want a stronger marriage, your home should reflect a strong marriage. Dress the bedroom for success, or better said, decorate it for success. Your bedroom should reveal a loving union of two. All good Feng Shui tips for stronger marriages will include an adherence to symmetry. Symmetry, as it relates to marriage, is very important in Feng Shui because a marriage is the embodiment of symmetry. You have a woman and a man who come together as one; they are two equals in spiritual union. The symmetry of the man on his side of the bed and the woman on hers is maintained by placing a night stand on both sides or hanging symmetrical art on the wall over the bed. However you choose to decorate, be sure to maintain the principle of symmetry. Let It Go Married couples unintentionally invite negative chi by holding on to objects from past lovers or choosing decor that disrupts their focus on their mate. A teddy bear that was given as a gift from a past sweet heart, a piece of furniture

97

that you shared with a past love, or even a letter or card: all will compete in the space that is now reserved for your mate. Get rid of them. A key principle of Feng Shui is that everything is alive and speaking. If you hold to this axiom then you can self assess not just your bedroom, but other parts of your home for areas that can be improved by Feng Shui. Is your home silently giving you Feng Shui tips for a stronger marriage? General Feng Shui Marriage Advice Marriage is a special relationship, different from any other close relationship you will have during your lifetime. It needs a lot of work and special attention or the two of you will grow apart and the result could be divorce or, at the least, a troubled and stressful marriage relationship. Feng shui marriage advice could save your marriage if it is in trouble already, but if you start with these practical general feng shui marriage advice pieces early you can keep your marriage strong and happy, never reaching that bad level. Get rid of black and blue in the bedroom. In fact, totally minimize the appearance of the water element throughout the master bedroom to avoid tears in the relationship. Use a very small representation of water to balance the elements but focus more on passion instead, since this is the emotion that makes a marriage strong and healthy. Accessories, artwork, and accents that give off strong vibes of sexual energy and romance are perfect for the master bedroom. Pink, red, and white are classified as marriage colors. This is primarily because they are symbolic of love and romance, but they do not have to be true shades of these colors. Other colors in the same families are also suitable, especially for the master bedroom, and can be utilized for anyone who is not a fan of pink or red. Guys are not normally thrilled with the idea of a pink bedroom, so make sure to work in these powerful shades in a way that makes him happy as well. Natural elements such as fresh flowers are essential. We do not always have time to stop and pick up a fresh bouquet very often, but artificial flowers are fine so long as they very closely resemble the real thing. They symbolize life and growth, which are both critical to any relationship that you want to be healthy and strong. A marriage takes a lot of hard work and accessories that represent nature symbolize the ever evolving and growing nature of marriage, as you work toward living harmoniously. Use groups of two whenever possible. You do not need two beds obviously, but pairs of two represent the marriage couple (or couple who lives together) and they are great reminders and encourage positive energy. Most people choose candles and similar romantic items in pairs of two throughout the room, but other ideas include turtledove figurines, pairs of lamps or nightstands, matching wall sconces, and groups of even-numbered artwork types on the shelves or walls. Whenever two is inappropriate for whatever reason, try to use an even number as an alternative. Turn the bed to face the door. Both parties should feel like the bed is inviting them for romance when they come into the master bedroom. Never face the bed away from the door since this can cause negative sexual energy for the couple. Awkward shaped rooms need special attention through accessories and accents if the bed has to face a different direction, but it could cause some problems for the marriage bed. Building a Happy Family with Feng Shui

98

Family relationships are pivotal to healthy living, and it has been proven that people without family bonds are less outgoing and successful in many cases. Social development begins at home, and building a happy family with feng shui is a big factor in a childs upbringing, regardless of the childs age. From newborns to teenagers, a happy family is a healthy one, and this will mean a child who is more ready for success in adulthood. Here are some tips to get started: Remind the Family of Happy Times Pictures tell stories, and these stories can be hung on the walls in each room of the home to encourage strong bonds through great memories. For instance, happy family vacation shots and group photos where everyone is together and smiling make the best options for high traffic rooms. Avoid hanging pictures where family members are missing from the picture since it sends a negative image to the person missing. For the best feng shui avoid solo pictures of children too, opting instead for family portraits that keep the family together. The best zones for family pictures are the East and Southwest baguas, since those are the ones related to family relationships, marriage, and love. There is no real wrong place to hang them, but these are the best places for those attempting to maximize the rooms feng shui potential. Find frames that match the rooms dcor and present a unified presentation for the family, such as framing family pictures in identical frames throughout the home. Importance of Childrens Rooms Many feng shui articles focus on the living room and other high traffic rooms, but childrens bedrooms are also important from this perspective. As a matter of fact, they are just as important as the rooms with the most traffic, since they are the spaces that children often spend the most time in while playing, sleeping, dressing, or spending some quiet time doing homework or reading. Family portraits are great, but consider other creative approaches, such as allowing them to draw pictures of their families for framing and hanging on the wall. This is great for encouraging imagination and creativity, but it is also a wonderful opportunity for getting a sense of how they feel about their family. Reward Achievements Although many top home dcor professionals recommend keeping the personal stuff in a bedroom, there is nothing wrong with displaying trophies, ribbons, or other awards in the family room. Frame them and hang them near the portraits or in the Career bagua to remind the family of what can be achieved with hard work, and to show pride in the achievements of each child equally, regardless of who placed higher or wins more overall. Each child should be equal in the eyes of the parents, so that none feel left out or unimportant. If another child is not old enough or involved in activities that receive awards, use artwork and portraits to remind him or her that they are still very special to you and the family. Feng Shui and Sexual Partners Feng shui does not just govern our platonic family relationships, relationships with friends and coworkers, and peace in the home. These are all fundamental accomplishments with feng shui dcor or lifestyle, but there is also more to feng shui than these great benefits. In addition, feng shui plays a big role in the attraction of sexual partners, and this does not just mean a potential husband or wife.

99

Note: Feng shui does not encourage random sex with strangers, since this is dangerous and can have many undesirable side effects. It does, however, encourage pleasure and harmony in a bodily sense between two people who care about each other deeply. Feng shui represents balance and peace, never chaos, and unplanned pregnancy, disease, and unreturned affections do not symbolize feng shui Bedroom Feng Shui There are dozens of articles here and elsewhere that deal with bedroom feng shui including romantic encounters. They point out that you have to find ways to use artwork and symbolism to introduce sexual energy in the space and to potential partners. Most people choose modern art that features sex in some way without being crass or profane, such as gods and goddesses engaged in sexual union. Books like the Kama Sutra are also popular, as they introduce effective methods of adding pleasure for both partners. Body Feng Shui Your body should also be prepared for great sex through feng shui techniques, such as getting plenty of sleep and exercise, eating right, and keeping the body neat and clean in appearance. Learn about Kua numbers and discover your perfect sexual partner using this method. If the plan is to have a romantic encounter without adding actual romance (now or in the future) be clear about it in word, action, and body language. Do not lead someone on, this damages positive energy for both parties and will ruin the experience. Preparedness According to Feng Shui Beliefs As before mentioned, feng shui refers to balance in every part of life, never letting one aspect of your daily life become more important than others that are equally fulfilling. Be careful to keep your sexual encounters to a minimum so the experience does not become cheap and unfulfilling or risky. Also, use methods to protect yourself and your body, such as condoms or other birth control methods. Be selective about your partner, waiting for ideal partners based on more than just good looks. Another version of preparedness is getting your mind ready to experience sexual energy at its best, by getting rid of stress and limiting exposure to pornographic materials. There are many classier versions of sexually explicit items without setting the standard so high that it is unrealistic. If you set the bar too high, you will be disappointed in most experiences, leading to a lack of ultimate satisfaction and increased sexual desire. Make each encounter a great one and you will need fewer of them in order to feel satisfied and happy in this area of life. Above all, remember that you are there to please your partner too; it is not all about your own gratification. Using Feng Shui to Choose Your Love Partner It can be very hard to find the right person to love, whether you are looking for a romantic partner or close personal friend. It is even more important to pick the right people for close friendships when you have children. There are so many people who will take advantage of close friendships in order to get something they want, from sex to objects you own, that using feng shui to choose your love partner is essential. Here are some helpful tips for allowing the ancient Chinese principle to guide your friendships, including potential marriage material or bedroom partners. Kua is Key

100

Most cultures believe that opposites attract, and this is often true for all relationships, although you will need to have things in common for the relationship to deepen beyond casual acquaintances. However, people can like the same movies, music, or activities, even have a similar sense of humor and values, without being very much alike at all. These qualities are due to kua, which is talked about elsewhere on the website, and this dictates Eastern and Western personalities (or opposite love matches). Opposite matches are often the best types of all kinds of friendships. As you get to know someone, find out which group they fit into and choose people who are opposite of your field. For instance, if you fall into the Eastern category, find Western friends and lovers, and the reverse is also true. This can create deep and lasting friendships that mean a lot to you and your family, even if they never lead to sex or marriage. They key is learning about your own kua first and then finding opposites that enrich your life and the lives of your children. Apply basic fend shui principles and love yourself first; the other relationships will come with time and energy spent to develop the bond. Add Peonies Feng shui experts say that peonies and other symbols of love are the key to using feng shui for finding love, so make sure that they are represented in your home, on your person, and even in your car or desk at work. We have articles dedicated to maximizing feng shui for love, but be sure to read them carefully to avoid overdoing the love symbols and creating chaos. Chaotic and haphazard placement of items can send your relationships in the opposite direction, and instead of choosing a love partner you may wind up with a new enemy instead. The objects that you use should be dictated by the type of love you are hoping to attract, such as a new romantic partner versus a close family friend. Focus on the northwest bagua when you want new friends; the southwest bagua is absolutely critical for love relationships. If you are hoping for really good family friends the east bagua should be your focal area of your home. Feng shui can help so many different parts of your life, from your health to how much money you make and whether you have friends and fall in love.

Family Reminders Feng Shui Decorating for a Happy Family Have you ever walked into a home and been instantly at home? There is something to be said for homes that have aspects of feng shui in their interior design - especially when it comes to a happy, harmonious family life. Feng shui decorating ideas can offer the typical home a better flow of energy and a more peaceful feel. For the busy family home, feng shui is even more important, as it can help create a sense of happiness and togetherness that can be easily lost in the hectic daily routine. Use some of the ideas below to help create that happy home your family wants and needs. Clutter Busters Start by clearing your home of clutter. You will be amazed at how quickly the feel of the house changes when there is less in it. Clutter not only takes up valuable space, it also takes up valuable energy and blocks the flow of good chi. It is important that your family has a happy, open space where there are few things blocking the path and keeping energy from flowing smoothly. Wall decorations are especially important in a happy family home. Framed pictures of the family together and individually show the importance of the family bond. The pictures should be of the family members smiling and happy. They should evoke good, positive memories and bring a smile to the face of those who see them. Providing that visual reminder that family life is important and valued is key to creating a sense of belonging in the home. Clear the Air Homes have a habit of collecting lingering odors. Feng shui is all about the positive flow of energy and that means clean air. Instead of masking the scent of the house with artificial and potentially dangerous air fresheners, opt for essential oils and air purifiers instead. Not only will they remove the lingering scents, they will replace them with fresh, clean air. If the weather is warm, you might also want to open the windows and let fresh air flow through the

space. It is a nice, refreshing change of pace after a long winter or hot summer to throw open the windows throughout the house and allow an exchange of stale air for fresh air. Know Your Bagua The Bagua is the energy map of your house. While it may seem an unnecessary step, mapping out where the key areas in your home are can help you decorate accordingly. Placing feng shui elements in the key areas will help create a balance and harmony that you might not have even known were missing. A happy home begins with a happy family and a happy family is one that feels at home and comfortable in their space. By taking the time to employ some feng shui techniques in your homes decor, you can help improve the lives of those who live there. Before long, your busy, hectic family will be enjoying their new space and, more importantly, their time together as a family. Using Feng Shui for Family Planning Feng Shui strives to achieve balance, harmony, and beauty in all aspects of life and planning a family can be stressful and unbalancing. Using Feng Shui for family planning is the solution and family planning starts in the bedroom. Romance Given the natural order of things, romance is the precursor to an expanding family. Feng Shui can help here too. A key principle to Feng Shui is movement. For that reason removing clutter should top the list for any couple using Feng Shui family planning. A romantic couple looking to share their love should pay special attention to the southwest area of their bedroom. Applying Feng Shui principles of movement and adding energy activating elements like natural illumination and symmetry will kindle an invigorating fire to the passions of their marriage. Go West The western area of the bedroom correlates to children in Feng Shui. Feng Shui practitioners counsel couples looking to expand their family to decorate this area with vessels associated with the earth. Vases, wooden picture frames, and artistic rock gardens would fall into this category. The earth represents fertility because of the reproductive nature of it. The earth is where we plant our food and raise animals for food, so the connection makes sense. Because the western side of the couples bedroom is so centric to children, it is vital that the area be free of clutter. Clutter takes the flow of chi that is rushing in and around your home and disperses it into disarray. Decorate for Fertility Families using Feng Shui for family planning should make generous use of objects representing fertility. Symbolism is an important element of Fen Shui, even more so when the principle of symmetry is applied. There is no shortage of fertility symbols in Feng Shui but one of the more popular ones is the elephant. Placing an elephant statue on either side of the bedroom door not only satisfies symmetry but it is also a powerful symbol representing expectancy.

Healthy plants placed around the home promote growth, but specifically, bamboo is said to increase fertility. Unhealthy or dying bamboo has just the opposite effect, so take care not keep dead or dying bamboo in the home; to do so will discourage your chances of conceiving. Open The Door For Baby Chi The front door is the primary avenue of chi. Any obstruction in front of the door disrupts the flow of energy throughout the entire home. Blocking chi from entering the home is counter-productive and so to be reproductive, all obstacles such as trees and shrubs should be removed. Homes using Feng Shui for family planning will soon find success by first clearing the homes entry and making the entrance favorable for movement. A way of creating favorable movement is by attracting it with a brass wind chime hung from the homes entrance. It has the added benefit of gently letting you know when chi is stirring. Planning a family is one of lifes most important endeavors. People employee Feng Shui in other aspects of their life to guarantee success, so using Feng Shui for family planning makes perfect sense.

Some advice columns offer practical tips that work for a variety of end results, such as feng shui tips that make your home beautiful and bring peace and prosperity to your life too. We all go through periods where we miss loved ones and friends who are no longer a part of our lives for whatever reason, and feng shui methods for family and friends will help with this loneliness by helping us develop new and long lasting relationships. Create an area in your home such as a shelf or mantle that is dedicated to family and friend relationships. This space should feature a lot of positive energy, no sharp objects or clutter, and pictures of you and the person in question. Smiling, happy pictures are perfect for this, since they increase the positive energy flow in the space. Use all the normal feng shui techniques for the rest of the room at the same time, maximizing the space from a positive perspective and including that person in your thoughts anytime you look at the pictures. Add artwork that features happy people and good relationships if you do not have a lot of framed photographs of you and your family or friends. Magazines and Internet resources are great for finding these types of pictures, and make sure that you add a live plant or flower next to the photo group to give the feeling of life to the space. This increases positive energy flow and sends feelings of goodwill and prosperity not only throughout your home, but to that other person as well. Happiness keeps a relationship close and makes us forget about the sad times, although we should always remember those we have lost in a fond way. Get rid of broken picture frames or glass to avoid negative energy when it comes to friends, family, and relationships. Broken and damaged picture frames or glass indicate broken relationships, so get them repaired as soon as possible. Also, avoid any types of pictures that depict you and your friends when one of the friends has their back to the group or is walking away. You do not want anything that looks symbolic of a friend turning their back on you, because it can attract negative chi in your home and in your relationships as well.

Good family and friend relationships, whether you are all blood or just close to each other, are definitely irreplaceable.

Encouraging Positive Energy with Family and Friends When friends come to call and family arrives for a visit, are your interactions tense and stilted or is everyone relaxed and welcoming? You may be surprised to know that any negative or uncomfortable reactions your friends and family have in the space may be directly caused by your decor. While it is not a conscious emotion, different elements that can cause negative energy may make your guests shy away from coming to visit. Use the feng shui tips and tricks below to make the home the warm and welcoming space that you want it to be for both your family and your friends. Color Defines If you are entertaining in the family room and the walls are painted the wrong color, you may find that you are counting the minutes until your guests leave. Instead of dreading when friends come to call, paint the walls a soothing blue or green to encourage warmth and interaction. These natural colors are welcoming and ideal for a space where harmony and love are interposed in the relationships. You may also want to incorporate the colors in the fabrics and accessories that you have around the room, as well. This will help draw the eye and create a much more harmonious decor. Its Alive! Breathe life on your friendships and family relationships by incorporating living plants in the decor. Tall, potted green plants are ideal, as they add in the natural green coloring while also bringing the element of life and vitality to the space. Large, leafy plants are more welcoming that stringy or spidery plants that tend to be more uncomfortable in their energy and presence. Picture This Another feng shui principle that can help build harmony and relationships in decor is the use of pictures and photos of family and friends. Not only do these images subtly remind you and your guests of cherished moments and love, they also symbolize the importance of the relationships. Frame the pictures in natural wood frames and display them in your living and entertaining space. They will be a happy, welcome reminder of those you care about. Fresh Cut Flowers Bright cheerful daisies and sunflowers can bring a lot of color and cheer to a family space. Feng shui design encourages the use of fresh flowers in spaces where there is relationship building as they symbolize happiness and harmony. While it may not be practical to keep a vase of fresh cut flowers in your living room at all times, when you are preparing to entertain, be sure that there are flowers in the space. It is also important to remember that when the flowers begin to fade, it is time to replace them. Dying and dead flowers give off negative energy that you do not want in your home.

112

There may not be a magic cure to fix all relationship issues, but there are things that you can do to make interactions easier. The feng shui ideas above can help you have the happy, loving relationships you desire with just a few changes in your decor. Take the time to make your home a welcoming escape for all who enter.

Using Feng Shui to Prevent Divorce Proper feng shui can be useful for couples on the brink of disaster. While preventing divorce with feng shui is uncommon, it is not impossible. Many couples do not utilize proper feng shui in the home especially within the couples area. The couples partnership area of the home is found in the back area on the right of the home, and here are just a few methods of using feng shui to prevent divorce. Using Proper Furniture Positions The bed in the couples bedroom should be positioned away from the bedroom door as it causes the couple to feel vulnerable or defensive. Positioning the bed near the bathroom door can cause the couple to feel restless or tired. The best bed position for the couples bed is in a position diagonal from the bedroom door. The positioning of all the bedroom furniture plays a significant role in the energy of a home, which plays a large role in the energy of the couples relationship. Placing furniture away from the bedroom door not only allows the couple to enter the room easily, but it also allows the good energy to enter the room as well. The bed should have a solidly built wooden headboard to create a relationship based on harmony and unity. A metallic headboard should not be used as metal be used to conduct energy, both good and bad, especially for individuals who are emotionally sensitive. Clutter should be avoided in the bedroom to create a place to rest both mind and body. The amount of furniture in the bedroom should be limited to the essential items only to help promote positive energy. Add Positive Energy through Dcor The positive energy flow in feng shui can be enhanced through the dcor in the home to aid in preventing a couple from divorcing. Dcor items such as wind chimes or crystals can be used to activate the positive feng shui in any room, especially the bedroom. The wind chimes should play soothing gentle sounds rather than harsh or loud noises. Wall dcor should elicit a feeling of romance for both individuals as a couple rather than as an individual person. Art should have couples or dual objects rather than single objects or people or groups of three or more. Mirrors are a simple way to add positive energy to any room in a house. Dcor items should focus on the romantic colors of the bagua such as red, white, or pink. Pink is the primary color in feng shui for romance as it symbolizes relationships. Art and other dcor items can display pairs of butterflies as the butterflies are also symbols of romance in feng shui Other animals that elicit romance are graceful swans or Mandarin ducks. Be certain not to mix up the mandarin ducks with typical mallards as they are completely different animals and invoke completely different energy in any given area. Fish in a serene aquarium can also add positive life-giving and financial energy into any relationship, especially a couple on the verge of divorce.

How Friends Affect Feng Shui

113

Your friends have a massive impact on your life, affecting everything from how much money you make, to where you travel and who you marry, so it should come as no surprise that friends affect the balance in your life. To understand how friends affect feng shui you need to understand how they affect the balance in your life both positively and negatively, depending on the friend. Here are some tips for helping you decide whether a friendship is still worth pursuing. Positive Friendships, Positive Balance Obviously, if a close, healthy friendship is a part of your life it will affect your life in a positive way. These types of relationships are the best ways to improve all the different parts of your life, including making money and finding true love. The relationship does not have to be romantic or sexual for it to be positive; the friend just needs to be a person who inspires you to greater things in your life. To find more balance in your life, find positive friendships on all levels, from a love partner to close friends, family friends, casual friends, and even business relationships. This will help you eliminate stress and chaos in your life, which will increase your productivity and relaxation times. When you are making more money and getting enough rest, other parts of your life also begin to fall into place; for this reason you should do everything you can to eliminate all relationships that do not fall into this category. Negative Friendships, Negative Balance Where there is an up there is always a down, and a negative friendship can be a quick down that ruins your day, such as a friend who always talks bad about people or asks to borrow things without returning them. Most of us have at least one person who we call a friend who can fall into this category. While most people can have a negative attitude sometimes, it is the predominant attitude that matters; and if someone is rarely positive, the friendship is probably not a good contribution to your life. Adding balance means eliminating most of the relationships that fall into this category for positive feng shui but it is not always practical to end every negative relationship. For example, it may be your boss who is the problem, or one of your parents or siblings. In cases like this, do everything you can to improve the relationship from your own end, and continue to do what you can to help them make things better on the other end. Find out if there is unresolved conflict or ancient transgressions that are preventing you from having a good relationship. Even if the relationship can be improved from negative to neutral, this is progress worth pursuing. As you work to improve relationships, it is often the small steps that matter the most, and the same is true for learning about how friends affect feng shui positively and negatively. Learn to balance the good with the bad, getting rid of the bad when it begins to become a serious problem in your life.

How Shapes Affect Your Wealth You might be familiar with the Chinese art of Feng Shui and its contributions to ancient and modern design, but the ancient practice of balancing chi, or life energies, can be used to balance your finances as well. To do this Feng Shui practitioners suggest that you pay special attention to how shapes affect your wealth. The shape of wealth. The shape of wealth, like the shape of the coin, is round. The movement of a sphere represents movement and increase. Setting the shape in motion takes little work and the return is an accelerating action that picks up momentum. To do this use circular patterns and symbols effectively by knowing where to place them to align your environment with the chi that brings you wealth. Know your prosperity spot. The southeastern area of your home or office correlates to prosperity in Feng Shui. Feng Shui financial consultants advise their clientele to pay special attention to this area. A large part of your success will be determined by the shape of the adornments in this area. Circle decor. Artist and designers have long celebrated the majesty and simplicity of the circle in nature and in art. You will find that circular patterns and motifs are common in interior design, so finding something that appeals to your personal tastes will not be a problem. Circular carpets, rugs, pillows, tapestries, can all be incorporated to bring you, not only comfort, but also wealth to your home. Circular accessories. A key principle in Feng Shui is the understanding that the appearances of wealth and prosperity aid in achieving wealth and prosperity. The principle, as understood by westerners, is summarized in a saying that you have probably heard before, fake it till you make it. By adorning your home or offices southeastern area with objects and symbols of prosperity you will activate that energy to flow through those spaces. Chinese coins incorporate two powerful symbols in their shape. The circular shape represents Heaven and the square cutout in the middle represents earth. This contrast is centric to the coins design and creates balance. These coins, when hung in the southeastern area, attract favorable energies for wealth. Bowls are often displayed in this area and filled to symbolize abundance. Crystals or faux circular jewels are used to symbolize motion and an overflowing of abundance. The round shape continues to generate allusions of increase and movement even in objects not particularly designed to roll. Encircle the yard. Your interior spaces should not be the only place that you invite wealth building chi. Your yard can be just as chi friendly. Round gardens and circular garden decor like fountains and stepping stones are not only beautiful to look at but promote wealth as well.

It is not a coincidence that the historic shape of a majority of the worlds currencies has been round. The shape continues to this day to be favored. The Chinese have always understood this. The art of Feng Shui tells us why this is and how shapes affect your wealth.

Feng Shui and Finances With millions of get-rich-quick schemes available today, it becomes necessary to find the most effective methods of making money for your career. Feng shui and finances go hand in hand, working together in positive or negative ways according to factors such as your home, home office or traditional office, your car, and even the way you look and dress. A few feng shui tips apply directly to your finances, from making money to being the best that you can be on your job. Here are a few ideas and suggestions to improve the financial sector of your life: Chinese coins wrapped in a red ribbon are symbolic of wealth and money. The ribbon should be cut to a 9 length or an increment of nine to coordinate with the feng shui style and maximize your financial blessings. Three coins are recommended by most, but some experts say five or nine are better, depending on your kua and the type of job that you have. (A Kua Number is calculated by the year of your birth and gender. It used to determine your four lucky or auspicious corners or directions and those that are unlucky for you.) Get rid of all the clutter in your life, from bad relationships to unorganized desks and homes. When you minimize clutter in the home and your relationships, you will reduce chaos and negative chi that damage your productivity and therefore your finances. Things like garage sales are a great way to deal with the chaos and make some money at the same time, and if you let friends help with the cleanup and sale efforts you also improve the relationship aspect as well. When or if a relationship cannot be improved by your reasonable efforts, end it. To make money, you have to be able to focus on your job, and you cannot do this if you are stressed out about a relationship. Your best option is to end the relationship, especially if you have tried everything you can think of to make things better and they continue to get worse. This includes romantic relationships, casual friendships, close friends, and even workplace friendships, which can be the most damaging to your financial feng shui Wind chimes are the perfect home accessories to improve your financial situation. Not only are they a beautiful addition to your home, but they also attract wealth and prosperity through financial abundance. A painting that features wind chimes or modern artwork that looks like a wind chime can be a great choice for your office, home or traditional, and adding a picture of a wind chime to your cars glove compartment also attracts more money. As with the coins, make sure that the chime hanger is a multiple of nine, such as a nine-inch ribbon or chain. Water is also a financial blessing accessory. Water features can be more difficult to add to an office or car, but it attracts financial abundance in your life. Similarly, statues of Buddha are also ways to attract money that can be difficult to work into the dcor in a professional environment. When you cannot use an actual statue or water feature, try to find a replacement that signifies the same thing, such as a painting, picture, or card.

Add Prosperity to New Business with Feng Shui

119

If you are starting a new business venture, there are a number of Feng Shui techniques and practices that you can use to help insure its success. Since Feng Shui focuses on the impact that the environment and surroundings can have on a person's success, the time to incorporate Feng Shui is at the very start of your business venture. A Few Basics In Feng Shui, there are a few basics that you should consider even when deciding where to locate your new business. A location that has high visibility is best, and it is considered much less optimal to be located at the end of a dead-end road, or at the end of a cul-de-sac. You should also try to avoid locations that are near a subway entrance, or a place of worship. Your business name shouldn't contain anything that could be construed as a reference to bad luck or death. The Business Entrance The main entrance door should be as large as possible, since traditionally the main entrance is considered to be the mouth of the business. The entrance should be inviting not only to your customers, but also to the positive energy that you wish to attract to your business. Inside the entrance, there should be an unimpeded path throughout the building, so that both customers and positive energy will be able to flow smoothly through your business. The Wealth Corner One of the most important Feng Shui areas for a new business, or any business for that matter, is the wealth corner. The wealth corner is located in the southeast area of the building, and ideally is at a diagonal from the main entranceway. This area should always be kept clear from clutter, and should be well-lit and inviting. You might consider locating the cash register in this area of your business, and you can also place symbols of prosperity in this area, such as coins. You might also want to consider a small water fountain in the southeast area of your business, to encourage the flow of wealth into your business. Of course, if you do this, it is important to keep the water clean and flowing at all times, and never let it become dirty or stagnant. Reducing Clutter Clutter is the eternal enemy of positive Feng Shui energy. You should always strive to get rid of anything that isn't needed, and definitely dispose of any old items that were left behind from previous businesses that used the facility. For a convenient way to add new style to your entrance, buy wall plaques and candle sconces online that have clean, streamlined designs. If you have clutter in your business, it will block the flow of positive energy, as well as reducing your own ability to focus clearly on your business success. If you can keep your business organized and free of clutter, you will also be helping to keep your business free from stress, troublesome problems, tension and other negative types of energy. If you maintain a clean and well-organized business, you will not only attract positive energy to your business, but you will also attract customers and subsequent wealth and prosperity.

The Color of Wealth in Feng Shui

120

There are a number of different ways that you can use Feng Shui to attract wealth into your life. However, it's important to realize that the Chinese don't include only money as a measure of wealth; they believe that wealth encompasses everything else in our life as well, such as our family and health. By using Feng Shui, you will help give yourself the necessary support that you will require to achieve the wealth that you desire. Colors Associated With Wealth In Feng Shui, there are certain colors that you can use to enhance the wealth within your life; use them in paint colors, furniture, fabrics and wall art for the home. Purple is often used to represent the color of wealth, and green is a symbol of growth and vitality. However, purple is considered to be a color that has a very high energy, so it should be used carefully and sparingly. Additionally, the element of water is considered to be a symbol of abundance, and its colors are blue and black. Wood, another element in Feng Shui, has long been associated with health and vitality, and is an expression of abundance that is used in connection with wealth and prosperity as well. The colors associated with wood are brown and green. The element of earth is thought to nourish and give the relationships in your life stability, and its colors are beige and light yellow. If you desire more focus in your life, so that you can concentrate your pursuit of wealth, the element of metal can help bring you that clarity; the colors associated with metal are gray and white. Using the Colors of Wealth In Feng Shui, the south-east corner of the house, room, or work space is considered to be the wealth area. By using wood elements in this area, with its colors of brown and greens, you can encourage the growth aspect of wealth. A nice way to express this element is to purchase Asian style floor vases online and fill them bamboo reeds. Small elements of purple can also be used, perhaps in the form of crystals, so that it doesn't overpower the energy from the other elements. Black can be used to attract power and authority to your wealth area as well. The color blue, representative of the water element, can be used to enhance the wood element, encouraging the flow of wealth into your life. Colors to use with Caution The colors associated with the fire and metal elements can sometimes interfere with the flow of energy that is complimentary to wealth. Red is often used to direct energy to your endeavors, but red is often better confined to the south area of the room, to avoid it causing struggle. Likewise, the metallic colors of metal such as gold tend to work best in the west and northwest. However, you can use some red and gold if they are specifically associated with wealth, such as the traditional three gold I Ching coins tied with a red ribbon. You can also use the metal colors to attract wealth by burning some white, silver or gold candles, to encourage having prosperity in all the various aspects of your life.

The most off-stage secrets of Feng-Shui

121

Once my old friend has come to me and has told the history. He read many books about Feng-Shui and has tried all accessible techniques. Experimenting, he has lost nearly a significant part of his property, health and money. But craving for riches, prosperity and well-being violently pushed him to new experiments. Magic crystals, aquariums, air hand bells excited him and encouraged. In Feng-Shui books, which he read, unanimously affirmed, that Feng-Shui is safe or yields only positive results. To a huge regret after each new experiment his expectation has been deceived, results were negative or neutral. This negative experience suggest him on an idea, that if is negative result, it should be and unequivocally positive result. Not in vain the glory about mysterious Feng Shui excites minds of people six millennium. This means that in practice should be the facts confirming Feng Shui power. Then he has recollected about me because twenty years ago when we together were engaged in oriental combat sports, I told him about the Teacher whom has devoted me in Feng Shui secrets. My friend convinced me once again to open him secret knowledge, which would help him to change life to the better, to be more richly, more happily and to find significant other at last. I have asked him, and what have inspired him, I told to him twenty years ago. He has adduced my arguments, which has not believed, but has shifted them on modern way. He has adduced the statistics collected by him on our city, it demonstrated, that only four percent of dealers and businessmen who have painted doors of their shops and offices in red color, really prosper. What does the prosperity depend on? Only four percent of dealers and businessmen, who have erected fountains front an entrance in the shops and offices, have placed aquariums with gold small fishes and arrovans in cabinets and in trading halls, really prosper. Only four percent of dealers and businessmen who have placed images of gold-bearing mines behind armchair, have hanged out air hand bells where is it possible, enjoy success. He knows that I know it. However, I keep silent. Then he has asked me why having equipped the house and office in strict conformity with recommendations " Treatise about Yang house " and having put up big money in one commercial project, he hardly has gone bankrupt.

These reactions are displayed in individual horoscopes of our birth. Today such horoscopes refer to natal map. " Treatise about Yang house " as movement of stars for everyone. In addition, the individual Feng Shui map shows, how each concrete person should use this treatise personally for himself. All space where the person lives is penetrated by power fields, including electromagnetic. However, the person is not in harmony with them from a birth.

Secret source of power and prosperity I have read my first book about acupuncture one of sunny days. This book was less then general writing-book, but in a dense sound vinous cover. Thickness of a cover should give solidity and heaviness to this edition, because the content of the book was not very large. The meridians were described in it, their connection with organs, and methods of pierce and symptoms for application of the needles. I thought acupuncture is something special, confidential and effective one. About forty years has passed, but this first book about acupuncture kept in my memory very precisely and clearly, especially engraved in my memory the next lines: "Well-being, prosperity and success; poverty, a low social status and a shame - all this together with fulfillment of every desires is on spike of a needle. Correct points pierce can make every person happy and successful. " The years passed away, I actively searched for secret of well-being and prosperity in acupuncture. In addition, I have found it. When you will read up these lines, you will know it too. I have spent a lot of time of my life in studying materials devoted to this theme. I have read, probably, any possible materials issued for last forty years. I studied at well-known and dear people, the names of which in the world of oriental combats are considered the legendary. I have found out, serious experts in this region knew the secret of acupuncture, but nobody knows how to embody it. Knowledge of its practical embodiment was kept only by rare masters of oriental combats, who practice not only methods of protection and attack, but also methods of recovery of health and strengths after the fight. This very galaxy of masters has kept secret knowledge, which you can seize today and take advantage. However, before it let us find out the secret, known to any medical worlds. Secret, that can realize a few people. As any expert in the field of acupuncture knew, the person is healthy, when his internal energy is balanced with an external world and inside an organism. A few people know how to reach it. Now you will know it also. As a result of such balance, the person is always healthy and full of strengths. When there is no such balance, he is

123

always sick and weakened. Health is final riches because being healthy you have strengths to reach every results. It is not enough healthy people, because they do not know this secret. Healthy people have irrefutable advantage in every sphere of activity over unhealthy people. They have much more opportunities to be happy and successful. When we are born, health becomes the important factor of our life. Health forms everything. Bad health forms bad life. Good health - good life. If we know how to enjoy good health, we know how to enjoy life. What is the secret source of power and prosperity? When we are healthy, we become an insuperable magnet for surrounding us people, for Success, Prosperity, Wellbeing and every possible Victory over lifestyle. Healthy people give birth to healthy children and the last one become pride of their parents and continuers of healthy generation. In fact, it is so important, children and people, surrounding us, are healthy. When we are healthy, we work not because we should work, but because there is a desire to work, because work turns to fascinating game. Think of distinction when we should work and when we want to work. When we are healthy, we can establish the great purposes and achieve them because we have strengths for these achievements. Health becomes the key factor of our achievements, which provide us the deserved income and financial freedom. When due to health we can work qualitatively and effectively, when due to health finance dependence is not more relevant, there is an opportunity to study seriously our inner world and to realize our spiritual needs. Being healthy, you can realize every Dream. Health is a key to your well-being. If people worsen their health, their destiny deteriorates because those who are healthy and strength win social competition. If people improve their health, their destiny automatically improves because strengths are poured into they and they reach the best results, than their contenders. Everything, what you should do for achievement of the best results, to be filled with health and strengths. Any other actions are secondary, because only at presence of health and strengths it is possible to execute even the most ingenious actions.

PROSPERITY AND ABUNDANCE USING A STOVE Prosperity and abundance are extremely common Feng Shui goals. There are many ways to increase your prosperity and abundance through food and food related items. One common Feng Shui recommendation is to use your stove (this is not about your oven or microwave, just your stove or cook-top) often. This is because your stove, and its burners, represents wealth. More burners would be better than less. You need to repair any broken burners as soon as possible, because they would represent economic troubles. Using all of your burners evenly is much better than using one or two 'favorite' burners every day while ignoring the rest. Stimulating your wealth energy by using your stove often (hopefully by cooking meals using most or all of your burners throughout the day) can even be done by just turning on your burners every day for a few minutes. The dishes you serve your food in can also increase your prosperity and abundance. Ornate or expensive looking dishes carry wealth luck. Chinese or Asian dishes with fish designs or other wealth related designs also improve your wealth energy. Crystal glasses also improve the energy of your dining room table. The best way to serve up a meal that symbolizes prosperity and abundance is to set up your dining room table with your favorite fancy setting and crystal or crystal-like glassware, fill your table with an abundance of wonderful food (more food, more money), and double the food (thereby doubling your wealth) by hanging a mirror that reflects your dining table.

Creating a Calm Space for Children with Feng Shui Feng shui is all about creating a space that has good energy flow, a lot of light, and makes people want to be in the room. Nowhere is it more important than in a childs room to create a space that is both calm and relaxing. This quiet, nurturing space will ensure that your child sleeps comfortably and soundly, and awakens with a positive energy flow in his space. The tips and tricks below can help get you started in creating the perfect feng shui room for your tiny tot. Clutter Be Gone Children tend to be magnets for play equipment, toys, clothing, and more puzzles and books than any one person should have. In fact, most children have more clutter in their space than their adult counterparts. This is especially troublesome when designing a space with feng shui principals, because there is a serious lack of energy flow when a space is crowded. The first thing to do is to clear out the clutter and lighten the visible weight of the space. This can mean donating things that your child no longer needs or fits into, or packing them away for later. Remember, the more clutter you can get rid of, the lighter your space will be - and that includes the whole house. Do not forget to get rid of the negative energy under the bed! Clear it out and you will find that your child sleeps better at night. Color is Crucial After the space has been de-cluttered, it is time to start thinking about the color of the room. A calm space is going to have colors that reflect such a feel, so bright, bold colors are out. Reds, bright blues, and vibrant yellows, while attractive, can create too much yang or bold energy in room where sleep and relaxation are key. Some good choices for a childs room include pastel blue, pale pink, and soft yellows. The more mellow a color, the more relaxing it will be. Accessorizing Just as with other areas of a house, accessorizing the childs room is important. One of the easiest and best accessories is a picture of the family located on a nightstand or the wall next to the bed. Your child will feel safe and secure seeing the picture of the protective family unit upon falling to sleep and waking up in the morning. Try to avoid things that produce light when accessorizing the childs bedroom. Aquarium or animal cage lights are especially big offenders, as they cast a glow in the room and can quickly disturb the quiet energy needed for sleep. Take the time to position your childs furniture in such a manner that it helps create a positive flow of energy. By aligning the bed correctly, you can help promote a healthier and more restful nights sleep. By using the right colors

and really tackling the clutter, especially under the bed, you can use the principles of feng shui to create a room that focuses your childs energy and restores a healthy, positive flow to the space.

Feng Shui to Help Autistic Children Feng shui is a useful tool for a parent with a child who suffers from autism; it is especially useful for families with more than one child on the autistic spectrum. Children with autism suffer from the emotional stress of everyday life that many individuals see as nonchalant. What many people view as normal and going about being unaffected by it, including simple things like the color of the paint, lighting choices, and what sort of artwork is hanging on the walls. Children with autism are affected by the energies put off by every little thing surrounding them, both positive and negative. Feng Shui to Reduce Emotional Stress Using feng shui in the bedroom of an autistic child can help the child reduce his or her emotional stress significantly. Feng shui helps to balance the positive and negative energies to aid the autistic childs environment which in turn allows the child to remain in a positive emotional state, which can in turn reduce the number of aggressive outbursts greatly. Feng shui principles teach that in order to achieve this state of balance within a home, the home must be kept free from clutter and be well organized. Other factors that influence the energy within the home are the color of the walls, decor items, as well as what materials are used to manufacture the items in the room, such as wood, metal, or plastic. How to Feng Shui a Childs Bedroom The first step to feng shui a childs bedroom, including a child with autism, is to remove any form of wireless electronics from the bedroom, including baby monitors, in addition to all other electronics. Use only all natural wall papers or non-toxic paint for the walls. Smoke detectors should not be the sort that uses ionization. Bedding should also be made from natural substances and the mattress should not have springs. Water beds as well as metal frames should be avoided as well. Toys should be made from all natural substances as well and be kept well organized so that the child knows where his or her toys belong and where to find them. The walls of a childs bedroom should be painted in a color that improves the energy of the room and allows a child to be calm and relaxed. Children who are autistic tend to do better with colors that are light, such as pastel colors, while older children and teenagers, including those with autism, tend to do better with the deeper shades. The position of the bed also plays an important role in a feng shui bedroom. The bed should have a headboard that is built solidly and sturdy and should be placed both away from the door and away from the line of the door. The underside of the bed should be kept free of all objects to promote the flow of energy within the bedroom. Autistic children also benefit greatly from natural forms of light and air circulation, such as a good sized open window.

Creating a Balanced and Inspired Homework Area for Your Child

139

How often do parents battle with their children over completing nightly homework? For generations the nightly battles have ensued, but what if many of the tussles could be avoided by simply creating a balanced and inspired homework area for your child? Using basic feng shui principles, it is possible to help your child feel more focused, be more inspired, and complete his homework with less hassle than before. Where in the Home According to feng shui design strategies, the Western part of the home is the most conducive to encouraging creativity and it is also child-centered. As such, it is an excellent location for computers and other electronics that your child may need to complete his work. Since it is also a highly creative location in the home, it will be a place where energy is flowing freely and your child will be able to focus more quickly on the task at hand. If the Western part of your home is not conducive for locating a study or homework area, you should consider the Western part of his bedroom. While it is not ideal to have a work area in the same place where he sleeps, it is better than putting the space in the East or South. Clutter Free Have a well organized area for your child to study in. This means including proper storage solutions for papers, reports, files, and computer equipment. A desk or workspace that is cluttered and crowded will stifle your childs energy and creativity and lead to him being unfocused and discontent. Investing in easy-to-maintain storage solutions can save you a lot of time and hassle throughout the school year. Desk Location So you have decided where in the house you will locate the study area and are all set with an organization system that is sure to keep him studying. Now it is time to think about how you are going to arrange the desk and any other furniture. The most important thing to keep in mind is that your child must feel comfortable while working at the desk. Not only should the desk chair by high-backed and comfortable, it should also fit his size. An adjustable chair that is padded may work best. Feeling at ease in the space is also important, so it is critical that the desk not be placed in a location where a childs back will be to a door or window. The incorrect placement of the desk can lead to feelings of anxiety and cause him to become unfocused. If there is a window, make sure that it is located to the left of the desk and that there is a clear view of the door from where your child will be sitting. Proper furniture placement, a clutter free space, and the right area in the home can all make quite a difference in how a child feels about going to do his homework. Take the time to incorporate some feng shui principles into the study areas design and your child will thank you. Feeling comfortable and inspired may be all it takes for your child to excel at his nightly assignments.

Teaching Your Children Feng Shui Feng shui is easily learned by individuals of all ages, including children. Children are perhaps the easiest to teach feng shui to as they easily absorb new ideas and techniques, unlike adults who analyze and consider each new idea for long periods of time. Children often learn through example better than through books or oral instruction. Teaching your children feng shui and its importance has never been easier.

Always Begin with the Basics The basic feng shui system involves keeping belongings organized and put in their proper places. Teaching children to care for their personal belongings by providing them with adequate organizational items is the first step in the right direction. When the children know the proper place to put their items, it makes keeping them put away when not in use much simpler and less frustrating for them. Children who live in homes where the family areas and adult areas are kept clean and in order are far more likely to keep their own personal areas clean and in order as well. Feng shui utilizes color, furniture placement, and objects to help the individual achieve the greatest sense of peace possible for each room in a home. Feng shui allows individuals to live more peacefully with each other. Children who are taught proper feng shui techniques will live healthier and happier lives and have less negative behaviors than children who are not taught. Children should also be taught the history of feng shui and how it has affected people for centuries. Allow children to think for themselves on what sort of feng shui they should utilize in their own personal lives and how they would like to utilize feng shui in their own homes when they grow up. By allowing children to begin to experiment, you give them the ability to learn feng shui basics using their own instincts. Utilize Plenty of Object Lessons Adults should always remember to think like a child when trying to teach children any given concept. When teaching children about feng shui keep the lessons simple and give plenty of examples. For instance, when teaching children about the feng shui color bagua, be certain to have objects of each color to give each child a visual example of the color being referenced. Many children need the visual correlation between what is being taught and what the actual object is as it makes it easier to understand. Lessons on feng shui elements should also contain visual aids; however, when teaching about fire, it is best to only use photographs or drawings of a fire rather than a real fire. Be certain the child being taught fully understands each element and its relationship to the feng shui energy before beginning a new element. Be certain to also teach on the negative aspects of what contributes to feng shui energy how it relates to the childs well-being. Since feng shui affects every aspect of the childs life, be certain the child knows how each area of his or her life can be affected, such as education, health, and emotions.

Feng Shui Tips for Children's Lives Feng shui is useful in many different areas of a childs life. Feng shui has been used for centuries to enable children to improve their study skills and concentration levels in their education and other areas of life. Feng shui helps children experience positive energy within the home to improve all areas of their lives. Proper feng shui also allows children to experience a positive atmosphere to grow in all areas of their lives: Physical, mental, and emotional. This is important because children crave an environment that radiates peace and happiness and often experience negative behaviors when they do not have access to it. Feng Shui in Childrens Bedrooms Feng shui is just as useful in a childs bedroom as it is in the rest of the home. Children are very sensitive to the atmospheric energy when compared to the sensitivity levels of adults. The way the bed is positioned in the childs bedroom effects the way a child behaves. When the bed is positioned in a way to allow the childs head to point

141

towards a positive compass point, it not only helps the child sleep better, but also balance their emotions. The way bedroom furniture is placed also contributes to the energy flow in a childs feng shui bedroom. The bed should be placed with the head against a solid wall away from the door. The bed should not be placed directly under a window as it is an outlet for the energy flow. The bed should be able to be accessed from either side rather than one side pushed against a wall. Only the basic furniture is needed in a childs bedroom as too much furniture clutters the room and detracts from the positive energy flow. Promoting Sleep A childs bedroom should be kept dark for sleeping as this promotes a natural ability to regulate the hormone melatonin. Without enough melatonin, a child will not get adequate sleep and will experience depression, anger, or a combination of the two at any given point. Night lights, televisions, and computers should either be kept out of the room or turned off after the child is asleep to prevent the brain from believing it is daytime. Electronic devices can emit harsh energy which can destroy the positive energy flow in a childs bedroom. A child who is able to see a photograph of their family while falling asleep is much more likely to experience a good nights sleep and wake refreshed. The photograph offers comfort for the child as they fall asleep. Younger children enjoy objects with small animals, such as kittens or puppies, to look at as well. Wall dcor should be kept simple in a childs bedroom with bright primary colors avoided as much as possible as they provide an energizing atmosphere for the child. Softer pastel colors are best not only for wall dcor but also for the wall color as well. Mirrors should also be avoided in a childs bedroom as they also contribute to an energized atmosphere in the room. General Feng Shui tips for children and creativity sector The use of Feng Shui principles in a child's room or study space can aid them to learn more easily and have greater success in all aspects of their life. Children are especially responsive to the movement of chi, and therefore, small changes in their environment can make big differences in their lives.

FENG SHUI PRINCIPLES - THREE FOUNDATIONS Utilizing feng shui principles, people create comfortable, safe, and re-energizing environments for themselves and the people who visit their buildings or dwellings. With proper Feng Shui principles applied, people can see the results of happier attitudes, more prosperity, more sense of harmony and balance, an improvement in health and well being. Here are three main feng shui principles (so called three foundations) 1. The five elements. Ch'i energy can be manifested in five forms - the five elements of fire, earth, wood, water, or metal. The Chinese believe these elements affect everything we do. The productive cycle of 5 elements looks like that:

Wood burns producing Fire. Fire leaves behind Earth. Earth is the source of Metal.

154

Metal liquefies into flowing liquid like Water (or another explanation is that Metal when cooled it creates condensation). Water then becomes the nourishment for the Wood.

2.The eight trigrams. A Trigram is a structure made up of three parallel lines. These individual lines might be Yin or Yang. Yang is a solid bar and Yin is a broken bar. The eight trigrams are the secret of life. Each trigram represents a different "house, your house is determined by your date of birth. The Personal Trigram gives the element and trigram that a person belongs to. Additionally, the trigrams hold the keys to understanding the who or what is affected by the Feng Shui of a building. 3. Yin and yang. It is the Chinese perspective of balance and continual change. Yin (black) and yang (white) are the harmonizing factors of the universe. Yin and yang are totally dependent upon one another and one does not exist without the other. In feng shui, the goal is to achieve a balance of yin and yang. Feng shui Tips for your car
