Wed, 01 Jul 2009 11:11:43 +0000

The feng shui element of Northeast is Earth, so the cures you will bring have to be either of the Earth element, or the element that nourishes it (Fire feng shui element nourishes Earth).

The life area connected to the Northeast bagua area of your home is called Spiritual Growth and Self-cultivation. It is recommended to always express, at least in some of your Northeast feng shui cures, the energy desired for your personal growth, as well as your reverence for the divine presence in your life.

Late or Last Minute Grad Gift

Wed, 24 Jun 2009 11:11:43 +0000

You might be the type of person who likes to plan everything in advance, and no celebration or occasion ever can find you without a great gift! You can find the best Christmas gifts in July and wait many months till presenting that special gift to your friend.

I used to be like that, too, but then somehow I became more of a last-minute, spontaneous gift giver. It happened kind of gradually; don't know exactly why and when, it might have something to do with the desire to live a less structured life, I guess.

If you are looking for a late or last minute creative gift for the graduate in your family, you might consider a gift that will make it easier for him or her to adjust to the new stage in life.

I recommend looking into a gift certificate of a feng shui consultation, especially if your graduate is moving into a new space soon. Investing in as little as 2 hours of a professional feng shui consultation will help create a space with the most supporting energy for your new graduate.

The feng shui forum has a growing list of US, Canadian and International feng shui consultants, see if there is one in your area and go for it.

Where Do I Place My Feng Shui Crystal Tree?

Mon, 22 Jun 2009 11:11:14 +0000

If you have received a feng shui gem tree as a gift and do not know where to best place it as a feng shui cure, first find out about the use of specific crystals in your gem tree.

Each gem tree will usually come with one or several types of crystals, thus defining its feng shui application. There is a wide variety of feng shui gem trees on the market, from amethyst gem trees to agate and even pearl and coral trees.

For example, citrine is a stone used for wealth and abundance purposes in feng shui, so a citrine tree will be used in the Wealth area, which is the Southeast area of your Bagua. A jade gem tree can be used for health in the East. A rose quartz is obviously for heart matters, love and romance, and is good in the Southwest area of the Bagua.

Bird Symbols in Feng Shui

Fri, 19 Jun 2009 11:11:58 +0000

Bird symbols, just like flower symbols, have an intrinsic universal energy that does not need translation. Humans looked at birds since times immemorial for the feeling of inspiration, freedom, and a longing for being united with the divine.

The ability to fly and soar high up in the sky is closely associated in feng shui with the ability to be near heavens, as well as the ability to serve as messengers from heavens.

In traditional feng shui applications, birds are considered powerful symbols of new opportunities that are there for you even in times of adversity. Birds can also symbolize love and commitment (as in the case of Mandarin ducks), or abundance and good luck (as in the case of the peacock). Read more How To Use Bird Symbols for Good Feng Shui

A Good Feng Shui House: Understand the Priorities

Wed, 17 Jun 2009 11:11:16 +0000

To live in a good feng shui house is to be surrounded by a healthy and vibrant quality of Chi, or energy. A good feng shui house will feel good, look good and attract all the good to you! Knowing that, wouldn't you want your house to have good feng shui? Of course, you would.

The Secret Feng Shui Cures

Mon, 15 Jun 2009 11:11:55 +0000

To understand what are the secret feng shui cures, we need to first look into the meaning of feng shui cures, as this is a widely misunderstood concept.

"Feng shui cure" is a general term used for various ways to work with the Chi, or energy of your home to achieve a desired result.

For example, if your home needs more fire feng shui element energy, a red color in a specific room will be a feng shui cure; so is a mirror added in a Bagua area that needs more water energy. Many feng shui cures are really easy to use and apply, and you can explore the use of a variety of feng shui cures, such as mirrors, colors, feng shui crystals, fountains, etc. Read more What Are the Secret, or Sacred Feng Shui Cures?

Horses in Feng Shui

Thu, 11 Jun 2009 11:11:21 +0000

We are continuing the exploration of popular classical feng shui symbols, especially symbols that are often used in the Western feng shui applications.

I believe the language of animals, flowers, trees, fruits, nature in general, transcends cultural definitions, as there is an intrinsic energy that is expressed no matter what culture you try to explore.

Horses always represented freedom and inner strength. Feng shui-wise, if you love the energy of horses, there are better feng shui bagua areas than others to display a powerful, beautiful image of a horse (or several horses.) Read more
