10 Feng Shui Tips to Increasing Finances!

The ancient Chinese system of Feng Shui uses the power of focused intention, compass directions, architecture, landform, and a combination of other data to improve life experiences. If you would like more abundance for yourself and your family, especially after the holidays, try these ten basic Feng Shui tips.

1. Position income producing documents, bank statements and business invoices in the directional bagua polar points of opportunity (Northwest) and income (southeast). This little act helps you to become more mindful of available opportunities and finances.

2. Choose color palettes for rooms located in potential income (Northwest), in earthy tones or metal hues. To support and assist daily finances choose wood and water hues in those rooms located in the Southeast. Choosing proper colors will support and assist these bagua points tremendously. After all, walls take up a great deal of square footage and therefore have a substantial impact.  

3. If appropriate, place a water feature or fish bowl in the southeast. The movement of clean water propels energy, and when it comes to finances, who couldn't use more movement here!

4. Place images of generosity in theses wealth areas (Northwest and Southeast). Perhaps a change bowl for charity, or an image of a particular charity you give to often. It is in the giving that we receive.

5. Add some lush green plants especially to the southeast sector of your home. However, be mindful if this direction is the location of a bedroom, and then only one plant is appropriate. Healthy plants are a symbol of vitality and growth.

6. Make sure there is amble support to the rear of your home with tall trees, hedging, rockery or fencing. Inside, make sure the back walls are well supported with powerful furnishings and artwork. Good support to the rear of the structure (fu wei), directly impacts finances and health. After all, if you are not healthy, it becomes extremely difficult to produce wealth.

7. Spruce up the front property and entrance to your home to invite healthy energy to circulate. 

8. Place a movement device outdoors in the Northwest (metal chime), and Southeast (bird feeder) to attract wealth from outside sources. 

9 and 10:  Refine, Refine, Refine. This refers to finer points of wealth such as the sheng qi (up to 4 points), the Fu wei (up to 4 points), flying star and 4 Pillars. Some of these refined points will require the assessment of a professional.

Expansion of Horizons in Your Home

A landscape painting or print will bring a refreshing openness - literally, an expansion of horizons to any interior, as well as a mood of pastoral tranquility. Some examples include, rustic scenes, sublime wilderness landscapes, snowscapes, water views, forest scenes or ancient Eqypt, which suggests an exotic spirituality, especially if they feature the Pyramids or the Sphinx. These images are particularly effective when transitioning from one room to another or the front entrance, especially if a wall is the first object your body encounters.

Our brains are programmed in such a way that an image can immediately trigger a parasympathetic or sympathetic response to our nervous system. Serene images will effectively activate the parasympathetic mode and relax bodily systems, whereas action oriented images will have the reverse effect and trigger the sympathetic nervous system resulting in a fight or flight mode whereby respiration and heart rate increase. Obviously, the goal is to relax the body and invite a high vibration of energy into the environment so your body can resonate with it.

Mercury in Retrograde and What to Focus On!

Mercury in Retrograde and What to Focus on! View this email in your browser Mercury Retrograde  What to focus on! I hope everyone is finding some peace during the flurry of the holidays.  If you didn't get a chance to read "In the Flurry of the Holidays,"    click here for simple things you can do to ease the chaos. Right now Mercury is in retrograde until December 23rd. Additionally, there are only a few days left to autumn. What does that all mean?  Let's delve in and take a look. Also, don't miss out on my Holiday Sale below! Elevate Your Consciousness! Mary Jane     Mercury in Retrograde:  As the solar system's smallest planet appears to reverse through the sky, you'll hear it blamed for a wealth of frustrating situations, including overspending on new purchases, poorly planned projects, and the feeling of taking two steps back for every step forward.  In reality, mercury' s back-tracking is a matter of perspective. Its orbit is smaller and faster than the Earth's. When its orbit catches up and passes the Earth, it creates the illusion that it is back-tracking, or moving in reverse.  Mercury in the Waning of Air and Metal Autumn Season: Mercury is the messenger in Astrology as in Mythology. It not only rules communication, it represents coordination. Thought processes, ideas, and sensory information from both conscious and unconscious sources all need to be coordinated and understood. Mercury analyzes, sorts, groups, and makes sense of things. How we convey and express our thoughts during mercury retrograde is very different than when the planet is direct. In addition, with mercury retrograde falling within the season of vatta (air) and metal, it sets the stage for how we can successfully navigate through mercury's back-tracking effects. What to Focus On: We are approaching the end of autumn with the winter solstice just days away. However, there is a combination of elements coordinating with one another. Air and metal are still active with undercurrents of yin water that birthed in November (Pig month). The air or vatta corresponds closely with the throat chakra and how we choose to communicate with others. It is the voice of reason, authenticity, and truth. The qualities of metal are contractive, precise, organized, thought provoking, and honest while the qualities of water have an ebb and flow, introspective, and persevering impact. During mercury retrograde, it behooves us to slow down, turn inward and listen. In doing so, it provides the opportunity to reflect on 2017 and intuitively acknowledge the lessons we were served. Listening to others, including our guardian angels, is extremely powerful during this retrograde, as mercury is known as the messenger of the gods. Tune in and listen to the subtle messages from the heavenly realm and don't worry about plotting out your plans for 2018. Instead, tie up loose ends and reflect on all you accomplished in 2017. The peaking yang water Rat branch arrives in full swing next week so stay tuned for what you can expect!  Holiday Sale Items!

Power day for Success!

This is a power day for success! First off, there is a great deal of water flowing in the month pillar with an assist in the day stem and fueling from the day metal branch. What to do with all that water? Get the lines of communication wide open for business strategies. The metal day branch not only fuels this process, but brings clarity, precision, organization and overall know how to any business negotiations today. It is exceptionally powerful as the northwest portent, which is all about networking and potential opportunities, is flooded with a double money star that not only grounds and supports new business ventures, but has the blessings of heaven. This has the potential for automatic increase in finances as long as there is good leadership skills. Few things to do for today:

• Add virtual water element to the southeast to regulate flow of finances
• Strong metal sound vibration to the east to ease negative energy
• Metal element to the south to break up any obstacles with daily goals
• Fire element to the southwest to secure partnership energy
• Earth element to the west to stabilize your future vision for today
• Movement to the NW to activate resources and opportunities
• Fire element to the north to ease work tension
• Virtual water element to the center to ease tension between females

Have a great afternoon!

Helping Self and Others This Holiday Season Through Feng Shui

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 portent of the home. It's metallic qualities arrive from the universal electricity emitted by the sun and stars. Therefore, metal is a key element for this sector with earth to support it. 

Metal holds the qualities of truth, precision, justice, intuition and an inward or contractive movement. It behooves us to be mindful of these qualities while working with this sector of the bagua so we can bring them into daily living. 

Images of Enhancement:

Note the type of images displayed in this sector. What do they say to you? Do they reflect the aforementioned qualities?  If not, here are a few ideas:

• Powerful mentors
• Cultural pieces of artwork
• Images of places in the world
• Globe
• Metal ornamental art
• Heavenly images

Colors:

It is best to expound on the elemental qualities of this portent through the choice of color. Metal is the natural home of the northwest with earth being the parent element of support to nourish and fuel it. Therefore, any metallic color hues such as bronze, creamy white, gold, silver, gray, pewter, or copper bode well. Earth tones also apply here such as muted yellow, terra cotta, browns, or tan. Since walls within a home take up a great deal of square footage, then color is a powerful way to activate a portent.

Elements:

We already ascertained the elements of metal and earth bode well in the northwest sector. Choose accents pieces that contain these elements. For clarity, stone, terra cotta, clay, brick, slate (any stone), and all metals works very well to ground, support and assist in enhancing the qualities of mentoring, travel, guidance received from spirit guides, angels, and God. These elements will also activate those who are called to help you.

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

Om Shanti,
