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.

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.

Clear it Out!

Clear it Out!

By: Mary Jane Kasliner
 
 
 
 
 
Do you ever feel like a gray cloud is constantly hovering over you?  Do you feel no matter what you do it seems to be a struggle?  One of the most common reasons for stagnancy in life is clutter.  When energy is stuck in a physical sense it has far reaching effects on every aspect of our being.  It has a tendency to throw us off track in life, question our direction, and to trigger emotional, physical and spiritual malaise. On some level, your mind is aware of what is going on.  On another level it is the subconscious mind’s way of avoiding what needs to be done. 
For our life to work well it is necessary to clear the clutter and make room for new energy to propagate.  Part of this process is to disengage from the emotional attachment we have with the objects we possess.  The trick is to make any honest assessment about the objects in your space and the emotional strain it is having on the flow of your life. When we understand that every part of the human life experience is encapsulated within our home through design, images, symbols, sounds and smells, we can then assess whether these objects add value to our life or keep us physically and emotionally stuck.
Take action now to energize your space and begin a life filled with abundance by following these simple guidelines.  You will feel empowered by your ability to control your space, feel lighter, realize new opportunities, and move through life more effortlessly.
1.      Take a tour of your home and record the clutter zones of each room.
2.      Note how you feel when you look at your possessions. Do you have a positive reaction or a negative one?
3.      Create a system for discarding unwanted, broken, return, or donation items.
4.      Set an intention as you remove unwanted items.  You are now energetically opening up to attracting new desires into your life.
5.      Take breaks during the clutter-clearing session to recharge your energy.
6.      Strive for a cleared, simple, natural and uncluttered feel.
7.      Make sure each room has at least two strong light sources.
8.      Add pizzazz to each room with accents (i.e.: fresh coat of paint, flowers, seashells, or plant).
9.      Re-think your furniture positioning and create open and inviting seating arrangements.
10.  Locate the East direction in your home and place a healthy plant and other wood elements (green colors, floral designs, columnar shapes or wood accent pieces). This is a direction that sparks “New Beginnings.”
11.  Space clear each room for a fresh revitalized feel by spraying pure essential oils.
12.  Let go, have fun and live simply.
Once you begin the process of aligning your space, you will naturally increase the energy level of the structure and in turn, your personal energy will heighten.  You will naturally be drawn to healthier eating habits, physical habits and spiritual habits.  You have a choice to change your life through the design of your space. What are you waiting for?

Feng Shui Nature Designs

Feng Shui Nature Designs




At the core of all feng shui lies the subtle beauty of nature; all of its essence exudes a level of harmony and balance unparalleled. The age-old principles of feng shui are based on these laws and acknowledge the ever-changing interaction and connection between human beings and their environment.This powerful connection is the key to experiencing good health and prosperous living.

Architecture and design materials determine the energy flow pattern and synthetic out gassing that occurs within a structure. The fine-tuning of color, sounds, scents and nature’s elements are the defining details that impact our emotions. Our senses process these subtleties within our space and synthesize it in the hypothalamus and limbic system of our brain.

Our environment is a direct reflection of who we are. It represents a snapshot of our inner self or “landscape.” We automatically resonate to our environment; therefore, if it is unbalanced than this becomes our perpetual state. If we shift our level of consciousness to include more of our subconscious intuitive mind, our innate intelligence will take over and we will be drawn to healthier spaces.

Working with nature’s essence in our building and decor is feng shui pure design. It is the healthiest way to align body and space for harmony to ensue. Here are three ways to incorporate nature in your designs:
  • Sacred Geometric Shapes: Nautilus shell, spiral designs or plants follow the Golden Mean Ratio and the Union of Opposites explained in the famous Fibinocci sequence. These natural laws imbue an environment with divine harmony creating a vital new energy.
  • Natural Buidling Materials: Homes contain a vast amount of synthetic materials in their construction and design. Waterproofing, insulation, flooring, adhesives, paints, and fabrics are just a few examples of potential irritants. Incorporating natural materials, plants, real hardwood, bamboo, stone, cotton or silk fabrics, organic paints and healthy plants are just a few ways to counteract the negative side effects of synthetic emissions.
  • Location of Rooms: Through feng shui directional analysis and birth data from occupants you can determine the best energetic location for rooms and especially rooms you spend a great deal of time in such as the bedroom and home office. This is a wonderful way to trigger an overall feeling of calm and personal energy balancer.
