OK – so I left Feng Shui for the past 5 days and lived in celluloid land, working as a volunteer for 5 days. Great time. Nothing vey Feng Shui to say about it, but Bill Plymton, the animator, gave a neat presentation and I thought you might want to check it out, so here’s the link. Enjoy

Fend Shui Masters: plants!
That’s right, without taking one course, without years of study, without the blessing of the Master, plants are feng shui masters. Admittedly, they can’t get up and move over there where the wealth corner is, or pull out that noxious week that’s blocking their career light, but right now, you’re witnessing a live demonstration of feng shui mastery.
Consider: how do the crocuses know when to pop up through the snow and bloom their little heads off? How do the daffodils know to wait for a few more weeks before showing off their beauty? Or that tulips wait till after the forsythia has done its thing? The answer, my dear Watson, is elemental. Each one knows how to read the energetic signs of the earth and stars. Each one reads the magnetic fields and constantly is doing chemical analysis of the soil. And when it all comes together for that particular genus, bingo! And we are saturated with beauty.
Plant are aware of the climate changing. Correctly reading all the scientific measurements we so diligently pour over, they have been blooming earlier. Other species are dying out as the climate passes their tolerance range. EPA said nothing to them, they know. So if they read Nature’s energies so well, what happened to us?
Simply, we lost out contact with Nature. Every client I work with will demonstrate their fledgling knowledge of Feng Shui, but dismiss it as ‘nothing.’ Those of us who study Feng Shui and become more and more sensitive to the flow, or lack thereof. And what we do is help people move the things that can’ help themselves (the chair, the sofa, the wall color) so that the chemistry is right and voila! Flow. How sweet it is!
Closet Feng Shui
Most of us do not live in homes with a basement or an attic. Both these places are famous for gathering clutter. Now we have garages! And storage units! But the bowels of our home are our closets. And that’s were lots of energy gets stagnant.
So when you feel stuck, take a look inside your closets. Are they crammed? Disorganized? Cluttered? Filled with clothes and coats you no longer wear, or wear only occasionally?
Take some time this weekend and really thin out just one of your closets. Then clean it and only put back ONLY what you’ve worn in the last 7 months. Everything else? Goes to Goodwill or the Free shop. You’ll not only start to clean out your own energy, you’ll be doing good for someone less fortunate. I like the idea of finding where folks can get clothes for free – too many are losing their homes and are having a really hard time of it. And so in this land of plenty, let’s move the plenty around to a place where others can use it. Your soul will lift. And that’s good Feng Shui!

Supercharge Feng Shui solutions
If you’ve been a client of mine, you know about energizing the various cures I’ve given you. But did you now that you can supercharge you efforts by doing them with a light heart? Even better, find some fun in it and have a good laugh.
What you’re doing is lifting the energy to a higher level. And doing that makes it all the more powerful. So don’t approach cures with a heavy heart – lighten up and lighten up you relationships, you loved ones and you life. Then celebrate the difference!

Animals & Feng Shui
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
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
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
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
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?
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. Gung Hay Fat Choi!
