One of the most critical concepts in watching your star rise? You have to see it to believe it. Fame and recognition belong to the eyes and heart in feng shui. It’s why movie stars and celebrities captivate us; all eyes and cameras are on them. Even if you’re not on the big screen and paparazzi don’t follow you around, you can surround yourself with your own success, and that influences the energy around you, and that ripples out into the world.

Five Minute Feng Shui

Episode 141: Feng Shui for Recognition and Success

Seasons are very meaningful in feng shui, and the fall is one that is full of prosperity and good fortune symbolism.  In the west, many homeowners like to decorate their homes with decorations of fall and around harvest themes. The look and feel of these decorations are one of abundance and prosperity, but they also bring great feng shui and augur good fortune for your home and family.

Episode 152: Fall Decorating Attracts Good Fortune

Too often we fall into the rut of day by day living to the point that we can’t imagine anything different or anything better and our life’s vision gets cut off. Most of the time, the thought of something better in our lives never enters the picture because we’re so busy just trying to get through the day, get the bills paid on time, the kids fed, car gassed, and attend to all the other little details of our life that the big things slip silently by, and we can’t see anything different for ourselves.

Episode 151: Feng Shui Views That Can Change Your Life

A house that is still and quiet is the type of home that creates yin energy – and over time that kind of energy can depress the person with even the brightest and happiest outlook. To lift the energy of your home, try incorporating the clear, pure sounds of a singing bowl or brass bell. The sound of a bell or singing bowl emits a tonal frequency that cuts through yin energy and dispels it from your home.

In feng shui, deferred maintenance on a house means deferred money. In other words, if you’ve put off replacing that cracked window or cutting down a dead tree, you’re likely not receiving all the money you could be if your home were in good repair. Why is repairing your home so important to feng shui? In a word: chi. The chi, or energy, of a home declines when it’s got leaking faucets or roof, when the paint is peeling or when it’s dirty and cluttered.

Episode 149: House Maintenance for Wealth

Stairways do more than just provide a way for us to get from one floor to the other. If placed properly, stairways can help the energy that exists in our home, called chi, to move up and down easily and smoothly. If stairways are not done well, they can inhibit the proper flow of energy throughout the home. Worse still, poor stairways can create problems or even harm us.

Episode 148: Staircase Feng Shui

Every school year parents and students dutifully trudge through the malls in search of the perfect sneaker or the cool new outfit for the coming school year. However, it’s unlikely that the new shoe or shirt will benefit them as much as a new design in the bedroom. That’s because a bedroom makeover will create new interest and energy – what feng shui calls “chi” – in the bedroom that will benefit a child.  

Episode 147: Back to School Feng Shui

There’s a lot of talk about women entrepreneurs and business owners these days, but do they have special feng shui needs? Absolutely. Women are opening businesses at a record pace. They account for $1.9 trillion dollars in sales, and they employ almost 8 million people (NAWBO.com).

Episode 146: Feng Shui for Women Entrepreneurs

Trees are an important life source and vital members of our outdoor community. Often called “the lungs of the Earth,” trees take the carbon dioxide that we breathe out and return it to us as oxygen. They also prevent groundwater run-off and soil erosion. It is obvious that trees are a crucial part of our living Earth and treasured members of our landscape family.

Episode 145: Tree Feng Shui

One of the most common concerns in feng shui is an energy block, such as a tree opposite a door, or a wall facing the door of your home. Blocks can stop and prevent energy from moving properly and will cause blocks to everything ranging from pregnancy to money, illness to opportunity. However, the same could be said of energy siphons, but unlike blocks, siphons can actually cause serious harm. Energy siphons are the holes and drains on your home – and your life’s – feng shui that prevent income, happiness, success, marriage or good health.

Episode 144: Feng Shui Energy Siphons

One of the greatest joys in life is friendship. It’s one of the aspirations of feng shui – the gift and wealth of having friends and enjoying an active social life. This area is reflected in the south sector of the house. This sector also refers to the fame and recognition area of the home, as well as your reputation and family name. Having friends to do fun things with, share your troubles with and who you enjoy being with truly is a gift. But what happens when your social life has dwindled and you find that you don’t have as many friends as you once had, or maybe you’d like to find people who you enjoy spending time with?

Episode 143: Feng Shui to Make New Friends

This is a COVID update for the continuing health concerns and worries caused by the coronavirus.  The new COVID delta variant continues to make the coronavirus one to be focused on and to take steps to ensure your continued safety as we encounter additional work stoppages, shelter in place confinement, and quarantines. Right now, it’s a good idea to make sure you follow the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control guidelines to help ensure you and your family’s safety.

Episode 142: Feng Shui COVID Update

There are many questions about how to divide up your home when you are trying to understand its feng shui but no more so than when you have an open concept home. When you have a home that’s open concept, how do you apply feng shui to a large open space?

Episode 140: Feng Shui of Open Concept Homes

In addition to the life benefits it provides, feng shui also offers a roadmap, so to speak, of not just how to decorate your space, but why, and this is never more important than it is when it comes to decorating your child’s bedroom. Naturally, children must feel safe, secure, and cared for to thrive, and feng shui offers guidelines that help foster those feelings. Feng shui believes that children can enjoy good health, growth, and happiness when the environment supports them.

Another fascinating aspect of feng shui is to see the correlation between your life and your body.  Even more interestingly, your body has a way of talking to you in feng shui terms just like your home does. Many times before we take a big step in our life – especially a step that requires our faith and courage – we become ill. Illness isn’t always a sign that something’s wrong. Instead, it’s often a sign of our growth. It’s your body’s way of pulling in and helping itself to marshal its full energy before taking on a big endeavor.
