A Clutter-Free Space for Children is Possible!

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 00:00:19 +0000

I have consulted for numerous homes overtaken by children's clutter and I know it is a real problem.

Instead of being constantly frustrated by your children's clutter, though, do take some time to create a clear organizational system, then teach your children to stick to it.

Do not forget to give them some time to assimilate the new system; as well as let them make their own mistakes while they are learning.

In the world of energy like attracts like, so if you keep the rest of your house clutter clear and clean (good energy), your child will inevitably learn to manage his or her clutter (bad energy); and good feng shui will win!

Is It Good Feng Shui To Have a Mirror on the Bathroom Door?

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 00:00:06 +0000

If you think you must have a mirror on your bathroom door for good feng shui, it might be good to know that you do not really need it. Unless you absolutely like it and would have it there even if you did not know anything about feng shui!

The first and foremost thing about feng shui cures that work is that they have to be really liked by you and make sense in your overall home decor style.

If you bring a so-called powerful feng shui cure that is supposed to work but looks totally out of sorts in your space, I assure you it will not create good feng shui for you. Maybe even quite the opposite. Read more Is it Good Feng Shui To Place a Mirror on the Bathroom Door? Why Do I Need It?

Check the Flow of Energy in Your Home

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 00:00:29 +0000

You do not need to be a feng shui consultant to know how to check the flow of energy in your home. Asking yourself often " How does my home feel?" is a good way to start.

It is especially good to do this little feng shui exercise after you have been away for a while and just entered your home. Your senses are more fresh and you will see and sense more about your own home (and about yourself, too!), because your house is your reflection.

One of the basic ways to check the energy flow in your home is to imagine Chi, or energy, as water. If water where to flow into your home from the main door, where would it stagnate? Read more Feng Shui Home Tips: How To Check the Flow of Chi

Feng Shui Tips for Children's Rooms

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 00:00:43 +0000

Feng Shui applied to children's spaces can bring a vibrant, healthy and lasting sense of joy, at the same time providing relief from an overwhelming clutter chaos often present in children's rooms.

Young energy is expansive and vibrant; it needs a sense of uninhibited space in order to thrive. Feng shui can help promote a harmonious growth, thus avoiding cluttered, busy and chaotic energy around your children.

Fresh air and clear organization are always the main priorities in children's rooms, as theirs are the spaces that see the biggest influx of toys, gadgets, clothing, and various other items and accessories. Read more Feng Shui for Children's Rooms: Create Joy, not Chaos

The Miracle of Mirrors - Aspirin of Feng Shui

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 00:00:56 +0000

Mirrors have fascinated humankind since ancient times and have powerful lore attached to them. From protective to reflective to pure "How do I look today?" uses, humans have been using mirrors for centuries.

In feng shui, a mirror brings the energy of the feng shui water element, and it is easy to guess why. Where do you think the origins of mirrors come from? Of course from us looking into our reflection in the water! Pure, deep, and calm water always serves as a reflection of all that is projected into it.

Mirrors have been called the aspirin of feng shui because with proper placement they can dramatically shift the flow of energy in any given space. Mirrors also bring a sense of freshness and calm. Read more How To Use Mirrors for Good Feng Shui

Feng Shui Tips for A Bathroom Above the Main Entry

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 00:00:27 +0000

One of the concerns you might have with the feng shui of a new or existing house is a bathroom over the main entry. As the main door is very important in feng shui, should you consider a house with a bathroom over the main door to have bad feng shui?

Well, first let me suggest we substitute the words "bad feng shui" for "challenging feng shui" or "feng shui concerns". It is more empowering, as well as more accurate. You can change almost any so called "bad feng shui" situation for better if you know how to take care of it.

When a bathroom is located over the main door, it becomes very important to take care of its good feng shui, as the quality of energy that comes through the main door determines the quality of energy in the house. Read more Feng Shui of a Bathroom Above the Main Door/Main Entry

A Bathroom in a Metal Feng Shui Element Area

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 00:00:13 +0000

Bathrooms do have a bad reputation in feng shui, but they still have to be located somewhere in the house, do they not? If you take good care of the energy in your bathroom, then its location in a specific feng shui element area should not present a problem.

A bathroom in the West or Northwest is not bad, or worse feng shui, than a bathroom in any other feng shui bagua area of the house. You might have a bathroom in the love area, or in the money area.

You might also have a bathroom above the bedroom, or a bathroom above the main entry. In each of these cases you would have to constantly keep an eye on the energy of your bathroom in order to keep the overall energy of your home fresh, stable and harmonious.

Applying feng shui in a small apartment or studio can be a challenge, as often there is little or no separation between your living, working and sleeping space.

In other words, how do you apply feng shui if your bedroom is part of your living room, and the kitchen is right close to it; all areas with no walls to separate the different feng shui energies?

Even though this is a common situation in many big cities, it does not mean you can't have good feng shui in a small apartment or a studio.

There are two main skills you absolutely have to master if you want to achieve good feng shui in a small apartment or studio. Read more How To Create Good Feng Shui in a Small Apartment or Studio
