Animals & Feng Shui

Posted on by

Take a good look.

Photo removed

I’ve often spoken of animal’s intelligence, but here is a case where one species has recognized the energetic need of another.  What caused the squirrel monkey to protect/adopt the baby kangaroo?  Whatever cues the baby gave, the monkey who responded in a positive manner recognized them.  In Feng Shui we look for imbalances of energy and try to correct them for a positive result. That doesn’t mean we pick up strays!  But it does mean good Feng Shui is a harmonious flow of energy.

When we live so divorced from the natural world, sensing where imbalances are present is much more difficult, and the cures not always obvious.  Yet the animals we have domesticated, especially our pets often will show us the good, the bad and the ugly!  If you’ve every had a pet who takes a distinct disliking to a person(s) or place, you usually learn later exactly how spot on the pet was.

Pay attention to animals.  Take time to observe them.  They will show you where negative energy is and where positive energy is.  Watch for the subtle cues that are more than just food hunting. Then study that situation and see if you don’t find clues.  Those clues will help you develop your own Feng Shui sensibility.  It can serve you well.

Investors turning to Feng Shui for advice

Posted on by

Seems that Hong Kong investors are increasingly turning to Feng Shui masters for guidance with their investments in these turbulent economic times.  And while the Wall Street Journal is reporting this, we need to consider the status of Feng Shui in Hong Kong.

A city perfectly designed by Feng Shui experts.  Hong Kon is the world’s 11th largest economic center.  Almost every business has used it’s Feng Shui advisors in the design and implementation of its space; buildings are designed to create “feng shui wars.”  It may be prudent to realize what’s good for Hong Kong may OR may not be sage advise for the rest of us.

What’s the lesson? Feng Shui absolutely can help businesses increase their bottom line, but when it comes to investing, it should be just one of many tools used in judgment making.  When sailing, it is wise to check the direction of the wind rather than ignoring it.  And, as Confucius would say, “all things in moderation.”  At the same time, realize that Feng Shui definitely has accuracy in helping to see where both the wind and the water are going.

Income Doubled in one month

Posted on by

Thought you might like to see what one Feng Shui master was able to do for a client:

Northport, NY (PRWEB) February 15, 2009 — Guided by Feng Shui Master Peter Reiss, entrepreneur Dean Mercado was able to almost double his business income in one month.

Mercado, president of OnlineMarketingMuscle, an Internet marketing and coaching firm in Holtsville, NY, called on Master Reiss’ services in December 2008. His business had been growing but not at the pace he desired and he felt that in these tough times he needed to be open to any tools for growth, no matter how “exotic”.

“I know Richard Branson uses Feng Shui, so I figured, ‘What the heck?’, and boy was that a good decision. From the moment Peter Reiss came into my office it was like a whirlwind of change. He showed me things that had been sitting there for years blocking my wealth flow. We got rid of the blocks, made the other adjustments he suggested and the difference was amazing.

“Our office felt better – more powerful, if you can believe it. And the results reflected it. I didn’t do anything different – no extra marketing, no extra sales effort. The only changes were what Master Reiss suggested and the numbers show how amazing he is. Even in this down market we just about doubled business income in one month, from December ’08 to January ’09, and are already way ahead of our financial projections for 2009.”

Valentine’s Day & the BaGua

Posted on by

I find it more than coincidence that the color of love, the color of most Valentine’s Day items, is pink.  If you look at a Bagua for the Relationship area, you find the colors there are pink to white.  So what? I hear you say.

The ‘so what’ is that almost all customs coming from a different culture most often have a different color associated with them.  To wit, white is worn by widows in India, white is worn by brides and virgins in the west.  Black is for mourning in the West, not at all in the East.  We could go on, but it’s not necessary.  It’s interesting that in this case, we in the West are totally in line with the 5,000 year old energy map from China.

Love someone special this Valentine’s Day!

Feng Shui tips to Sleep Better

Posted on by

Want to Sleep Better?

 

While there are many reasons why you might not be getting a good night’s sleep, one of them can be the condition of your bedroom.  Let’s do a brief makeover and see what happens. [The most dramatic example of this will be found with the first two pictures on Before and After!]

Clear the clutter.  Unfolded clothes, unread parts of the newspaper, stuff you haven’t put away yet – clear it out.  If you like to read in bed, it’s fine to have 1 book beside the bed – but not 5.  And keep the bookcases out of the bedroom – they’re little energetic fingers pulling at you with all those pages as yet unread.

If you have lots of stuff on the walls, remove most of it. Simplify, simplify, simplify.  Put away or remove more than you’re comfortable having around.  Remove as much visual stimulus as you can and then a bit more.  What we’re aiming for is a Zen room.  When you enter it, you start to relax, because there’s almost nothing there.  Now when you climb into bed, you’re either going to sleep, or become intimate with your partner, or just have a bit of room to decompress. 

See if that doesn’t improve your sleep.

Year of the Ox means?

Posted on by

It is said the Buddha asked all the animals to gather with him on Chinese New Year (January 26 this year.)  Only 12 showed up and he gave a month to each animal.  This year is the year of the Ox.  People born in the Year of the Ox are loyal, steadfast, hard working and stable.

So – if you were born in any of the following years: 1913, 1925, 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985 or 1997, 2009, you were born in the year of the Ox.

In the Rogue Valley, Jacksonville is the center of activity as there was a huge Chinese population during the gold rush days. It did not last, as the Chinese were forcibly sent back when I became illegal for a Chinese to live in OR. 

But February 5 will see an entire day of activities celebrating the Year of the Ox.  For a full schedule, see http://www.mailtribune.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090130/TEMPO/901300307.  And outside the area, see if there is a local Chinese Association that will know what’s happening at this auspicious time of the year.

Cosmic Balance for the President?

Posted on by

You just saw my posting about lucky charms for 2009, but here’s something that has the hair standing up on my neck.

Take a look at this photo and see if you don’t see what I do:

The Washington Monument

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This photo was taken on Inauguration Day less than one hour before President Obama was sworn in on the steps of the Capitol.  Taken by the GeoSat satellite, it looks amazingly like the Yin/Yang symbol to me.  That ancient symbol represents balance – male/female, night/day.  Seems to me that President Obama has made it a point to seek balance in trying to extricate ourselves from the hydra headed mess the former President left.

From a numerological point of view, his year is a year of moderation.  From an astrological point of view, the wild excesses and unmitigated greed are over and we are entering a new era of much more considered and cautious judgement.  Then this picture appears and it makes me wonder.

Lucky Charms

Posted on by

Here’s a link to a story recently published inthe Phillipines.

http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/print/35379

I find this article illustrative of how much the Orient has altered Feng Shui into charms and spells and away from patient observation and intuitive sensing energies.  Yet this aspect of some folk’s practice of Feng Shui does not mention one point – and that is what you believe in can manifest. The power of intention is discounted in American culture, but it is real and it is powerful. So if your gig is to beleive in crystals, power on.  

But for those who pick up info like this, go of and buy some crytals and think their life is going to change – well, not too likely.

Why the Resource Blog

Posted on by

Many readers have asked me questions about topics that I covered in the eZine, or wondered what I had to say about.. .color, fans, etc.  The Resource Blog answers that and more.  You can search for whatever I have written about at any time and print out whatever is useful to you.

I’ll be growing this blog, adding the newspaper columns I’ve authored, and archiving past eZines.  In addition, as my understanding of how Feng Shui relates to other fields of endeavor, I’ll be developing material on that as well.  Then I’ll categorize it so that it’s easy to find and easy to use.

In addition, I invite you, dear reader, to add your comments and questions, so that a real dialogue can happen between us.  If you have problems or questions, don’t hesitate to add those and I’ll try to address them as quickly as time allows.
