Is Feng Shui necessary in a mostly unfurnished home?


The short answer is YES.

A Feng Shui Consult will help find any “glaring splinters” as we like to call it in the Feng Shui world. A consult will: help with paint colors, determine placement of existing furniture/pictures/knick knacks, point out clutter and, can tell you which elements to enhance while taking into consideration what you already have and what you plan to purchase in the future.

Feng Shui works with what you have and what you love. If you are prone to clutter, remember that passing on the things you no longer need or love, makes room for the new things you would like and possibly do need. Keeping it all = clutter.

Feng Shui will never dictate what color you must paint, but it can answer the questions of what color would go best in sections of your home and what colors to enhance with.

Feng Shui isn’t wholly about color, it is about the elements and which areas of your home prefer certain elements.

Yin and Yang play a large and important role in that you need balance. Balance of color and of the elements.

Feng Shui can help with all aspects of your life. Your home directly affects and reflects who you are and who you want to be.

Feng Shui is an ancient form of modern Quantum Physics.

Feng Shui makes a direct correlation between the quality of your life and your environment.

Feng Shui explores the intimate connection between you and your environment.

Enhancing your environment can change your Chi.

Feng Shui can be traced back more than 3,000 years. Ancient Geomancers of China noticed a relationship between man and his environment and by aligning the environment; change would occur. Feng Shui is the practice of aligning the energy of your environment to cause positive change.

Quantum Physics is a modern version of what the ancient Chinese Geomancers noticed.

Everything is alive! Einstein’s formula E=MC2. Einstein explains the relationship of energy and matter as interchangeable. Everything is energy; dancing, fluid and ever changing.

Unknown to most people, we are picking up the vibrations of EVERYTHING around us, all that we eat, smell, hear and see. Both indoors and outdoors, inert and alive. Our furniture, car, furnace, children, clothing….on and on. This energy is constant and affects our unconscious. Feng Shui taps into this connection between man and his environment; seeking to harness the flow. This allows us to tap into this vast resource of energy surrounding us, using it to our advantage and potential.

I think Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys was actually onto something when he wrote “Good Vibrations”.

Take a look at the picture; can’t you just feel this energy?

Size of Your Dwelling Doesn't Matter in Feng Shui




Feng Shui Practitioners enjoy helping people. They specialize in finding stuck energy and giving practical ways to help get it moving based on you, your experiences and your home.

Whether your home is a single room in a shared house, a 1 bedroom apartment or a 10,0000. sq ft mansion; size does not matter with Feng Shui.

The Ancient Geomancers of China determined that man is affected by his surroundings.

After 3,000 years (or more) of studying the landscape and it's effect on man, they realized the cause and effect were the same and devised a formula.

The Bagua Map; the Bagua can relate to any size dwelling.

The surroundings you live with DEFINITELY affect you.

If you are unhappy in any area of your life (money problems, job problems, love life problems, health problems, finding and trusting friends problems, children problems, creativity problems) this can all be related to your surroundings.

Feng Shui Practitioners can pinpoint "stuck energy" in your home and suggest ways to unblock it. These are usually simple enhancements or removals. It may be suggested you add an element (perhaps using color via a pillow/vase)or removing the sad looking single woman picture from your Love Gua. There is no home too small or too large for a Feng Shui Consult and the best part is; Feng Shui works with what you already have!

Happy Spring Cleaning and Happy New Beginnings


Spring Cleaning should start with a good look at what is clutter. Make a bin of stuff you no longer love. Living with what you love is what Feng Shui is all about. Consider passing it on to Charity or make a Garage Sale, earn extra income. Even consider posting it on ebay or Craig's List. Once you have the clutter under control,take a good look at the front or main entrance of your Home This is where Chi or energy enters your home. If it looks tired or you are not happy with the appearance any longer then it's time to freshen this area up. If your front door is centered at the front of your home this is the Career Area and using water features and dark colors work exceptionally well.

In order to allow new possibilities in your life, you must make room for them.
Out with the old and in with the new.
Happy Spring and Happy New Beginnings!

Welcome Spring and Welcome Chi


Well it's time to think about going outdoors and freshening up the yard after a long, cold winter. Why not start at the front entrance? Consider the outdoor mat, does it need replacing? Maybe a new wreath for the season and be sure to sweep away the cobwebs and leaves that have accumulated.

Your front entrance and door is critical in Feng Shui. The front entrance is the mouth of the chi and you need to keep this areas fresh and tidy, always! You want to attract and invite the Chi to your door. Chi is attracted to well kept, clean, shiny, tinkling, trickling, twirling objects! That's right. Consider Chi a curious creature, and to attract it's attention you need a meandering path with interesting and fragrant plants,sculptures,water features,wind chimes. Of course not all of these, but one or 2 that add interest and that you enjoy.
