Be Strong!

Be Strong!




The month of January is represented by the arousing trigram of zhen - the powerful energy of thunder. This trigram is also associated with its strong roots - like that of a mighty oak tree. If you can envision a tree gracefully stretching its branches high into the skies, as it soars, guidance is present. The roots reach deep into the ground and find strength. This support system is the same as a family's dynamic. It provides roots so you may know strength and develop the ability to soar, so your infinite potentiality is cultivated. 

The family root system represents springtime when the bulbs burst through the earth; it is a time of renewal. It is a time to understand who and why you were born. The family dynamic shapes and influences the very core of your being. Thus the time is NOW to cultivate who you are from within yourself.

Strong roots enable you to meet the surprise of strong winds, the thunderstorms so to speak in life, and yet not be surprised and swept away. This energy teaches us how to develop strength of character, a healthy body, and a productive sound mind. The trinity builds on what was inherited; endowing opportunities to open. Continued personal development is held within this aspect of life where dreams, ambitions and intentions are grown in the fertile soil of belief. This strong upward growing energy puts ideas into motion so they may become a reality.

The energy of Zhen encourages the ability to work diligently. It can be compared to the farmer who rises early to tend to his crops. This active energy stave's off procrastination and activates a strong will to believe and achieve transforming ideas into reality. Everything is new and simply awaiting your initiative to bring it forth into being. 

Gaining the gift of inner strength and forgiveness and to share them with humanity expands your dreams beyond expectations. The roots of your past support you as you grow into a person who changes the world for the better. The ancestors smile as you go beyond their ability to make necessary changes and transform from the inside out. BE STRONG is he message for this month!

Environment Focus:

The eastern sector is the environmental directional focus this month. It is important  it is strong and resilient as changes are about to occur. Below is a brief list to follow when evaluating the eastern sector of your home or office this month:


  1. Note if anything is malfunctioning indoors or outdoors. Anything that is not operational or has fallen into disrepair will only hinder the motion of spinning new ideas into reality.
  2. Plant strong vegetation outdoors that can withstand the winter months. 
  3. Place a well rooted plant indoors - one that will grow over time.
  4. Add a water feature here to sustain the beneficial water star entrance for the month while fueling the wood to the east.
  5. Make sure the elements are in a sheng cycle to the element of wood - thus water, wood and a touch of fire are key element choices.
  6. Place a vision board of what you would like to transform in your life from the core root of who you are and what you want to ultimately achieve.
  7. Add an incense burner and let it waft to keep the energy bright here for the month.
Blessings,

Helping Self and Others

Helping Self and Others



The greatest mentors in life are said to reside in this space such as Mother Teresa, Jesus, Dr. Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra and Gandhi - just to name a few. These are people who have honored the call to create peace in the world through their skills and talents. They paved the way to higher awareness by leading with their heart. How is life calling you to make a difference?

The helpful people and travel portion of the feng shui ba-gua is about moving forward whether from one location to another or a shift in your state of mind. Movement and development of spirit is essential for growth. This sector of the ba-gua calls to action synchronicity - the blessings of being at the right place at the right time. It's about expanding our ability to be compassionate towards self so we can be compassionate towards others. 

This time of year there is a great deal of movement - gathering with family and friends to celebrate the holidays. Albeit a wonderful time, it is also a time that stress levels rise, tempers flare, and compassion takes a back seat to the ever growing list of "things to do." The energy of the helpful people gua reminds us to refine our truth, be authentic, create beauty around us and live in clarity. That begins with compassion and leads to serving others. Most of all...be in-spirit or what is most commonly recognized as BE INSPIRED!

Where to Find Helpful People Sector: This is the location of the northwest. It's metallic qualities arrive from the universal electricity from the sun and stars. Therefore, metal is a key element for this sector. As these particle rays drop down into the planet, then the element of earth bodes well here too.

Images: Globe, angels, travel pieces of art, photos or artwork of mentors, gemstones such as celestite, metal objects.

Colors: Metal color hues (bronze, creamy white, gold, silver, pewter, copper).

This holiday season live in kindness and vibrate the energy of compassion.


Merry Christmas - Happy Hanukkah - Happy New Year!

Keeping Calm During the Flurry of the Holidays





In the flurry of the holiday season, waves of emotions may arise. Remember to breathe, let go and to meet all that arises with loving awareness. Easier said than done perhaps but here is a powerful concept to consider; Take One Minute for Yourself!

It is the self that we need to take care of because when we take good care of our "selves," we are healthier and happier and are more able to help other people.
How do you take care of you in one minute? Make a point several times a day to STOP and ask yourself this question: "Is there a way, right now, for me to take better care of myself? You have the answer within exactly how to nurture yourself but here are a few ideas to consider:
  • Simplify your life
  • Change your attitude
  • Tap into the power of self observation through prayerful meditation
  • Treat yourself as you would like others to treat you

  • Encourage others to take better care of themselves
  • Be loving
  • Give yourself a daily hug




When every person in the world takes better care of themselves, everyone in the world will feel better taken care of and then we may finally begin to care more about each other.


December is the Month of the Rat
&
Trigram Xun (4) Wood

This month rely on being resourceful when it comes to your job. Take on leadership roles whenever you can. Trust your ability to interpret information especially when it comes to financial matters, career goals and vision for the future. Practicing yoga or meditation is advantageous since the Rat has a tendency to elicit feelings of anxiety.



It is also very important to set aside time for family, personal and business relationships this month otherwise friction will arise. Perhaps arrange for a movie night with the family or dinner with your partner. Anything that says YOU CARE is the point. Get creative and take the lead here especially when it comes to paying attention to the patriarch and eldest male, as the energy is pretty difficult for them both this month.


Feng Shui Tips for December

Water is strong this month peaking on the 21st. Water has a downward flow that stifles elevated fire as a result of festive decor and entertainment. In order to balance the conflict place wood elements in and around your environment and temper with some earth.

Simple ways to infuse these elements while decorating for the holidays:
  • Christmas tree
  • Real garland
  • Pine cones
  • Plants
  • Ceramic ornaments or decorative objects
  • Burlap or cotton ornamental bows or fabric
*Most of all...Create a zen-like room so you can take care of yourself!
Items to include:
  • Candles
  • Favorite essential oil or incense
  • Favorite stones
  • Soothing music
  • Meditation pillows or cushion
  • Images of nature or higher being

Yoga Pose for December





What better pose than savasana to relieve tension and recharge the batteries!


Happy December!

The Life Giving Element

The Life Giving Element



Where there is water, there is life. Acting as a medium in which organic compounds can mix with one another, water facilitates life form. In humans, water acts as both a solvent and delivery mechanism, dissolving essential vitamins and nutrients from food and delivering them to cells. Our bodies also use water to flush out toxins, regulate body temperature and aid in metabolism. No wonder, then, that water makes up nearly 70% of our bodies or that we can't go for more than a few days without it.

As we enter the month of November, we enter the element of water in stage 4 of its 12 stage life cycle. This is a very powerful point for this element and therefore a perfect time to capitalize on water qi. Here are some things you can do to take advantage of this propitious element:

  • In your environment think about flowing designs and physical water features including accent colors of blue and touches of black
  • Create a list of long term goals and review it closely for the next two months
  • Tap into your passion (s): the element of water directly correlates to the naval chakra
  • Make an effort to communicate more effectively by honing your listening skills
  • Be careful when it comes to the kidneys, bladder and ears for the next two months as water qi is very strong making these body systems more vulnerable
  • Take time to socialize with friends and family - it will feel natural as the Pig energy rises this month
  • Be the peace maker - the Pig wouldn't have it any other way
  • Be mindful when it comes to drinking, eating and spending as the Pig has a tendency to over indulge
  • Make networking a priority in business 
  • Consider a get away weekend
  • Become more introspective
The element of water is considered the fourth element that follows the ebb and flow of the seasons from spring to winter. It is the most important element because of its fueling quality to create life and therefore should always be represented in your living and working environment especially if your life feels stagnant.

Water qi is the gateway to life - engage in its beauty and flourish!

Get Your Travel On



Get You Travel On!




So many of us never get the chance to travel. Why not change that situation right now! It's a big world out there just waiting to be explored, but before you pull out your luggage and begin packing, there are a few things you can do to get the energy moving in the right direction.


  1. Determine where it is you would like to visit in the world. Print out a few images of this destination and post them on your refrigerator - a great reminder to keep your travel dream alive.
  2. Take a look at the northwest portent of your home. What's there? If strong earth and metal elements are not part of the decor then add them in. Simple things such as stone, terra cotta or metal accent pieces work great. While you're at it make sure the wall color is also an earth or metal hue. Wall space has a tremendous impact when it comes to feng shui designs.
  3. Kick up the bank account so you can board that next flight by enhancing the southeast portent of your home. Think water and wood elements  such as plants, landscapes or water art scenes.
  4. Talk about the trip often to let the Universe know you are ready to go now!
  5. Refresh the aforementioned directional portents (Northwest and Southeast) daily by wafting a pleasant essential oil. The sense of smell is one of the most powerful ways to activate the limbic system (ancient brain) for pleasure - exactly what this trip will bring you.

Once you are ready with luggage in hand, make sure you peruse this blog for excellent travel and finance advice. 



Happy Travels,

Fun in the Sun - August Flying Stars



Fun in the Sun - August Flying Stars



The month of August reveals the 8 white star relating to the trigram of Gen. This is a fortuitous energy in this current 20 year cycle. This star represents steady growth in wealth but it requires  getting to know who you are first. In other words, it is the wisdom body that reveals messages when we take the time for meditation and prayer. Instead of trying to chase success and financial reward, let it chase you. How? By letting go of it.

Gen trigram is very powerful in this age cycle and fortuitous for young males especially. It is an excellent time for real estate transactions but requires stillness and patience like that of the mountain.

This trigram corresponds to the shoulders, arms and hands. As the trigrams moves to the center of the lo shui - it does receive assistance to its element (earth) - this is beneficial. One should still be mindful of the aforementioned body areas for this month.

Since the 8 star resides in the central palace it is an energy that will spread throughout the home. The analysis below is a generalized interpretation of how this star, when moved into each direction reacts to the energy of the directional portent. For personalized assessments email consult@fengshuiyoganj.com. 
*Note: All recommendations below should be placed on August 8th and removed by September 7th as the energy will shift for the month of September.

Interpretation:

East: Travel with elder male this month is likely. This may lead to unexpected business opportunity especially for males. Mentors may appear for eldest male this month and assist in discovering your expertise and leadership qualities. This is an auspicious energy and therefore you should take advantage of networking with others and expanding your skills. Feet and neck are vulnerable this month especially for male.

Cure: Add virtual water to the east and remove cure by September 7th.

Southeast: Creative activities with younger female this month proves to bode well for financial growth.  Be careful of undermining female when it comes to bank account and investments. This is a back-stabbing type of energy that relates to either stealing of money or taking credit for your work. Hips and pelvic area are vulnerable this month.

Cure: Place virtual water (seashells, sea-glass, etc.) in the southeast to drain this poor quality star and fuel the wood element for this portent. Remove cure by September 7th.


South: Quick and idea provoking energy this month for younger female. You may find thoughts are swirling around for new projects when it comes to your goals. It would behoove you to write down clear set goals when it comes to your career path and in life. This is a fueling energy so be prepared for lots of action.

Cure: No need to add anything to this portent this month as the fire of the south is holding  overactive star in check. 

Southwest: Okay matriarch, put the breaks on this month and be cautious as the 5 yellow star is being assisted by the portent. This can place pressure on relationship. It will be like swimming against the tide so better to take two steps back and chill out. Stomach upset is a possibility.

Cure: Place strong bronze metal and metal vibrational sound to break up this negative energy.

West: This is a bright star that enters the portent of fun this month. Look to get involved with your favorite things to do and just relax and enjoy every minute. Male energy assists with planning a fun trip - go with his suggestions!

Little draining for skin and mouth area this month so just be aware of these areas and take extra care.

Cure: Add strong earth to ground and build leadership qualities for elder male. Remove cure by September 7th.

North: Look for advice from partner when it comes to your career. It may require female input too but make sure you fully trust this person otherwise things can and will backfire. Look for ways you can add a creative twist to things as well and take time to infuse some literature into your day.

 Bladder and urinary systems can be vulnerable with this star presence as it has a draining energy.

Cure: Add  metal element to the north and remove cure by September 7th.

Northeast:  Don't be surprised if your meditation practice gets interrupted easily. Simply press on to remain seated in your practice.  Female energy is strong and can have a depleting effect on younger male adding to a sense of feeling off centered in your thinking process. Males may have stomach ailment this month or eating of sour food - be careful when eating out this month.

Cure: Add strong metal element here and remove cure by September 7th.

Central Palace: As mentioned in the beginning of this report, August reveals the 8 white star relating to the trigram of Gen. This is a fortuitous energy in this current 20 year cycle. This star represents steady growth in wealth but it requires getting to know who you are first.

The Peaceful Home

The Peaceful Home


Your surrounding environment plays a significant role in how you experience life. Why not take time to explore the different ways you can create a peaceful home and manifest real change in your life? Here are some simple ways you can shift the energy in your environment.

1. Use mirrors, in moderation of course, to maximize the flow of energizing natural light through the home. Light promotes physical vitality and mental alertness - two dynamics that are important when it comes to peaceful living.

2. Follow the sun on its journey around the room. Notice how the light changes depending on the angle at which the sunlight falls through the windows. Plan your decor to make the most of the natural light that enters the space.

3. Use directional lighting to highlight your favorite objects or the room's most interesting fabrics.

4. Infuse mood lighting through the use of candles. Floating candles in interesting decorative bowls are excellent accents while establishing an ambiance of gentle mysticism.

5. Use cushions in different hues to add changeable accents of color.

6. Use patterns with restraint - too many patterns of different kinds may clash with each other and subtly disturb your mental equilibrium.

7. Touch up paintwork, clean your windows and repair things. When there are things in disrepair is weighs heavy on the mind and disrupts feelings of peace.

8. Add natural features in your decor - fresh flowers, a lively plant, seashells, stones, images of animals and other nature scenes give off positive energies.

9. Burn incense such as frankincense and sandalwood to create a positive yet relaxing feeling.

10. Welcome yourself and guests with a display of container plants at the side of your front door. By using pots of herbs you can combine a visual with an olfactory salute.


Have fun with these simple peaceful home tips and enjoy every moment in your environment!

What I see When I Walk Through Neighborhoods

What I See When I Walk Through Neighborhoods




I enjoy taking long walks through different neighborhoods to see how others express themselves through their landscape and their home - and of course if there are any great ideas that I may want to borrow for my own home. One of the things I notice immediately is the front door. As soon as my eye travels to it, a plethora of questions rattle inside my mind:

  • How is it positioned?
  • Is it too small or too large?
  • What is the material of the door?
  • What color is it?
  • How is it enhanced?
  • Is it welcoming?
  • How would I change it or would I change it?
  • Do I love it?
Believe it or not, I will go through this list as I pass by every home. Sometimes I crack myself up wondering if anyone else out there ever thinks about these things. Well, I'm pretty sure there are and I am glad about that. 

I find the front door expresses the personality for the home. I actually can sense whether the home feels happy, sad, lonely or neglected. It reminds me of a time when my nephew said; "Houses looks like faces." He hit the nail on the head. From that statement, the artist who did renderings in one of my feng shui books (The Feng Shui Connection to a Healthy Life), drew "house heads" connected to the human body. 

Continuing on my walk, I take note of the rest of the architecture of the home. This is a quick survey:

  • What's the overall feel?
  • Are there too many windows?
  • Are the windows too small or large?
  • What are the shape of the windows?
  • Is there a combination of materials used on the outer structure?
  • What is the main color choice?
  • What is the roof shaped like and material used?
Here, I go for the overall feel of the home. I know immediately if I would feel comfortable living in the structure and for that matter, if most people would feel comfortable. Sometimes, I can actually get a sense of the interior through the outer dynamics.

Finally, the overall landscape presentation - the curbside appeal is what I am specifically after. Does the property look lush and alive with vegetation or does the essence of neglect come immediately to mind. I like to see a few dynamics at work when it comes to the property:

  • Defined boarders
  • Landscape lighting
  • Curved pathways
  • Varying heights in vegetation
  • Assorted plants and colors
  • Movement - bird feeder - flag - water feature
  • Sound qualities - chime - rain catchers
I'm sure this sounds like an arduous walk through the neighborhood but I actually find it very entertaining and refreshing. Covering several miles on my neighborhood walk, I get a twofer, cardio fitness and great ideas for my home. 

If you like to take walks through the neighborhood tell us what you see. 

Best -

Indoor Plants


Indoor Plants

 

Variety is Key




Indoor plants are fabulous not only for reducing indoor pollutants but add a wonderful feel to any room. Think variety when it comes to choosing your plants to give the home a more balanced flow of energy. For example, ivy has a clinging trailing habit or corresponds to water energy. Therefore, it is useful in an area that lacks sunlight (such as internal bathroom) because, unlike many plants, it grows in shade. North is an ideal position for ivy with its strong water energy and underlying wood qualities.

Dracaena's have a strong upward growth with sharp pointed leaves combines tree and fire energy. This is a wonderful plant to stimulate energy in a corner or under a sloping ceiling. This is a good plant energy for the east, southeast or south areas in your home.

African Violets are a strong fire energy with its vibrant purple star shaped leaves. It is helpful in attracting attention and getting public recognition for your efforts. This plant is very yang or active in appearance and therefore fantastic for low vibrating areas such as corners. The east, southeast and south portents are strong areas for this fantastic plant.

The Money plant with its round thick leaves represent strong metal qi. It provides a sense of stability with finances. Albeit plants by and large are wood energy this particular plant holds strong metal within it. Therefore, adding this plant as a gentle feature in the northwest especially will assist in networking opportunites for financial gain.

The aforementioned are just a few plants that have powerful qualities in the feng shui of your home or office. Using plants can effectively help avoid stagnation by getting the energy moving. Plants can also soften protruding architecture by calming the cutting qi, slow down fast moving energy in long hallways, add natural living energy, improve air quality, and for those plants with spiky leaves adds a sense of security.
