Bedroom Feng Shui

Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese art, where placement of objects in a room depends on the movement of chi or natural energy of our environment. Based on the patterns of nature, a Feng shui master will tell us where to place every individual object in our home or workplace. A master will also provide advice on how a building should be positioned on a property. Feng Shui shows us how to support the flow of energy in our lives for better health and prosperity.

The best location for a bedroom, according to Feng Shui is in the rear of the home. This is where it is said that all "restful" energy lies. In order to preserve this energy the bedroom should have only one door connecting it to the rest of the house. It is best that the bedroom is not located over a garage. If it is, to preserve a restful sleep, one must use heavy solid objects on the floor or hang a mirror on the garage ceiling so that it will reflect the image of the car away from the bedroom. If a kitchen is located over the bedroom, place a mirror on the ceiling of the bedroom reflecting downward, sealing off the bustling activities occurring in the kitchen.

There should always be a door connecting the bedroom and the bathroom, and the door should always be kept closed. Feng Shui recommends not having a television in the bedroom as it causes less interactions between couples. If one is present, it should be covered when not in use. A work station in the bedroom is also discouraged as is exercise equipments because these release opposite energies than that of restful energy.

Mirrors in a bedroom can be a problem as they are said to reflect one's negative energy when one is sleeping, thereby causing nightmares. This principle applies to any object that reflects like paintings, computer screens or metal surfaces.

Feng Shui recommends that a person sleep with legs facing away from the door because such a position is referred to as the "coffin" position. Colors in the bedroom should be subtle, as should the colors of bedroom furniture. Clean up clutter in the bedroom including closets for good energy.

Bedrooms are rooms to go to for peace and relaxation. To distract negative energy Feng Shui encourages a good circulation of natural energy and plenty of fresh air.

Limiting Beliefs: Allow Feng Shui and Alternative Treatments to Help You Heal

As Feng Shui Consultants, we are told to reach for the sky. To put our Intentions out for what we want to attract back to us. We are taught the Laws of Attraction, The Power of Intention, Getting our Name out to the Universe. These are new thoughts and belief systems for some, but it's gaining ground. More people then ever before are starting to believe and becoming more spiritual and are finding it impossible to deny there really IS something to all of this "positive thinking."

Years ago I worked in a wonderful, completely Wholistic Center. Many of the people that came there for "treatments" were there because their doctors had turned them away; they were the hopeless cases. Cancer, MS, advanced heart dis-ease flocked to the center looking for another way to heal. And there, they found it. It is amazing to me still that watching these people come in, so saddened and downtrodden by what they had been told but they held out their beliefs that there was hope and help for them.

It has long been said that you have to give up your life force before you can pass; many of these people, though beaten down, were simply not ready to "cash it in." And surrounded by love and non invasive, pure energy treatments such as Acupuncture, Amma Therapy, herbs, a change in diet and everything natural created miracles. I saw people heal, come in with better attitudes, begin to smile again and finally to laugh at times. I saw the fear go away and these people start to heal.

In retrospect, while I am an absolute believer in all forms of Energy Healing and recommend it to my clients (with their doctor's permission, of course), I believe it was also the love showered on these people by their practitioners. They instilled hope, belief, light and a new way to look at things. They gave them the tools to help them create their own healings by their own Intentions, attitudes and pure energy they transmitted to their patients. Double the energy is energy intensified.

The patients were stopped from having the "limiting belief" ideas that had been instilled in them as they went from doctor to doctor, hearing the worst news. They were not taught about their own powerful energy, universal laws, that we come from source energy and it has every thing we could need or want in our lives. We just forget or aren't sure how to connect to it. And that's when we lose our way.

Don't limit your belief system. Reach out to the Universe, send out the best possible thoughts and intentions even (and especially) when times are difficult. If we live by the law of attraction, we will get back exactly what we send out. If you are having a difficult time connecting or are just plain "stuck," get some assistance. There are some wonderful, well known energy healers that can give you insights and help you release some of the negative energy that perhaps is stored in your body from those stressful times. Don't be afraid to reach out, find help and learn that you really CAN heal yourself. Don't limit YOUR beliefs, your Intentions are much more powerful then you are likely to ever realize. Now it's your turn to reach for the sky.

10 Tips to Feng Shui Your Office & Boost Your Prosperity

Feng Shui (fung-shway) is the study of arranging your environment to enhance your life. Every minute of every day your environment is either supporting you or draining you. Feng Shui teaches you to join forces with your environment to make living your best life effortless.

Not only does your environment reflect your consciousness, but also the flow of energy in your home and workplace determines the overall quality of your life and its outcome.

By balancing the energy in your environment, your own energy will be in harmony, and you will draw to you, people and opportunities that reflect this balance. Your environment indirectly determines the type of relationships, finances, career opportunities, etc you attract.

Because we spend so much time in our workplaces, these spaces have a huge influence in our lives. These feng shui enhancements will support you in creating prosperity and balance in your work.

1.CLEAR THE CLUTTER IN YOUR OFFICE

Clutter is anything unfinished, unused, unresolved, tolerated or disorganized. When you clear your clutter you create space for new things and your energy and creativity will increase.

Clutter is like emotional constipation - it bogs you down. Filing cabinets need to be regularly purged and desktops kept clutter free.

2.PLACE YOUR DESK IN THE POWER POSITION

The ideal placement for your computer and desk is in a position that allows you to see the door of your office. If this is not possible, you can restore good Feng Shui by arranging a mirror that gives you a clear view of the door. A small convex mirror designed for use on car side mirrors can be purchased and stuck to the edge of your computer. cost about $3.00.

3.MAKE SURE EVERYTHING AT YOUR DESK ALLOWS YOU TO BE COMFORTABLE

A good combination glare screen/radiation filter to prevent headaches and eyestrain, a comfortable chair that doesnt squeak, comfortable keyboard and arm position, a mouse that fits your hand etc. Anything that causes you discomfort will drain your energy.

4.KEEP YOUR COMPUTER CLUTTER-FREE How is your Inbox? If you see hundreds of emails when you open your Inbox you will feel overwhelmed. Create Folders to file emails you want to refer to. Go through your folders regularly to delete emails no longer needed. Once a week empty your Delete folder.

Is your Desktop full of shortcuts to programs from a past life? Do you have programs on your computer you never use? Computers are great clutter collectors, and like us, they work better if we keep them decluttered.

5.ENHANCE YOUR PROSPERITY CORNER As you enter the door of your office, the far left hand corner is your Wealth and Prosperity corner. What do you have there? Clutter here will definitely be affecting your prosperity.

This would be a good place for a small tabletop fountain, a valuable item or even an affirmation. Blues, purples and reds are the colors of prosperity. Can you include these colors in something that makes you feel prosperous?

6.CREATE A NOURISHING VIEW What do you see when you look up from your desk? If you see a brick wall, this could explain why you feel stuck! Paint the wall a color you love, hang a favorite painting or poster. Make sure what you see as you are thinking, uplifts you and nourishes your creativity.

7.CLEAN YOUR WINDOWS, DUST AND VACUUM What do you see when you look out your window? Do you look at the world through a murky lens? Regularly cleaning your office, and emptying garbage bins daily will keep the energy fresh.

8. BUY A HEALTHY PLANT
A plant will bring life into your workspace and will also absorb toxins in the air.

9.SEPARATE YOUR WORKSPACE If you must have your workspace in your bedroom, try to partition it off with a screen. Work and sleep are two conflicting energies and having a relaxing sleep will enhance your work time.

10. REPAIR OR REPLACE BROKEN OBJECTS Anything that isnt working represents a block to the flow of energy. For example, light bulbs, clocks, doors that dont open smoothly why risk not being at your best?

By consciously creating your environment, your environment will in turn create a quality of life to support you in reaching your potential. Feng Shui has a powerful effect in your life and you can use these enhancements to create a flow of prosperity, energy and creativity in your work life.
