Feng Shui Friday

I teach courses in Feng Shui and I also incorporate it in my coaching practice and in my own home. It is a wonderful tool in creating a more tranquil and enjoyable life. I am dedicating Friday's blog to all things Feng Shui.

This is the fifth of the nine lesson Baqua Map Course. The baqua map shows where the nine areas of your life (guas)are located in your home. Each lesson I give you tips on how to enhance one of the guas. This week I will cover the Health Center. (not to be confused with a gym).

The Health Center is the center of your home. Your entire well being centers around your health. In ancient homes that practiced Feng Shui, the center of the home was entirely empty and served as a courtyard or had a labyrinth there. It is an important place in your home.

Ways to enhance this area:
*Start with an intention. I use, "My health is constantly improving in all ways."
*Clear and declutter and bring energy to the space. Bring extra attention in keeping this area clutter free.
*The color yellow.
*Symbols and pictures that symbolize total health to you.
*Keep the center of every room clutter free.

Pretty soon we will have these blooming. Bring them in and display them in this area.

In the very center of my home I have this displayed. It symbolizes my center, Christ and Love.

Have fun! Remember Feng Shui is pronounced FUN Shway. Enjoy making your home  a mirror of your wonderful life.

Blessings,

Feng Shui Friday

I teach courses on Feng Shui and I also incorporate it in my coaching practice and in my own home. It is a wonderful tool in creating a more tranquil and enjoyable life. I am dedicating Friday's blog to all things Feng Shui.

This is the fourth week of the nine week Bagua Map Course. The Bagua map shows where the nine areas of your life(guas) are located in your home. Each week I will give you tips on how to enhance one of the guas in your home. This week I will cover Journey Career.

The Journey Career gua is located in the front center of your home. Do you feel like you are living a purposeful life? Are you longing to fill your soul with passionate work? This is the place to go.

Ways to enhance this area.
*Start with an intention. I say, "God is always leading me in the right direction."
* Clean and declutter to bring energy into the room.
*The color black. It doesn't have to be the entire room. Even a black frame would do.
*Pictures of water.
*A mirror.

My journey career area is my living room. When you walk in you see this, one of my favorite spots in Maine. I took this photo. Art that you create has more Feng Shui energy than any art you could buy.

This saying also hangs in my living room. Not only does it have black in it, but it also is the perfect mantra for my chosen journey.

Have fun. Remember Feng Shui is pronounced FUN shway.. Enjoy making your home a mirror of your wonderful life.
Blessings,

Friday's Feng Shui:Two Super Powers

I am dedicating Friday's blog to all things Feng Shui. I love utilizing Feng Shui in my own life and in my coaching practice.

Last week I wrote about clutter. Please know, ridding our homes/minds/hearts of clutter is no different than how our body rids itself of waste. It is a daily practice.

Our homes have two super powers. The two places that crave the most attention are the entry ways and the bedroom. These super powers let the energy in our home and  let us rejuvenate every cell in our body. Front doors and bedrooms matter!

Suggestions:
    Doorway:
 Do whatever you can with whatever you have to make your entry ways sparkle.
 Put something in the color scheme of reds in your doorway.
 Make a curve or turn with plants or rocks or (again) with what ever you have for the entrance. Try to make sure there is no straight line to your door.

   Bedroom:
Make your bed.
Make it beautiful in any way you can.
Get rid of all electronics, exercise equipment or anything work related. If this cannot be done, cover them with a pretty blanket or a pretty something.
Put a plant in there.
My personal favorite: Fresh flowers in my bedroom at all times.




To my front door in the summer with my thumb blocking the road. AHHH!
