Bringing Heritage Art Back, to the Future
By Kathryn Wilking
Art work and furnishings are important as they help set the tone for your business. If your business resists budgeting for furnishings and décor, you may be missing an opportunity to make a connection with your clients. Think of the old stereotype of a dentist’s office; sterile and uncomfortable with an assortment of out-dated magazines. You need to do better. If it is ‘normal’ to have clients waiting in your…
Office Yin and Yang
Yin and yang are energy terms in feng shui. In fact there are many different combinations and levels of yin and yang.
Seen as opposites; the image of two tadpoles swimming intertwined with the other. Neither one is completely pure white, nor pure black, as there is always an element of the other hidden inside.
Yin is feminine: soft, gentle, and nurturing. Yang is masculine: strong, energetic and aggressive.
When applying this concept to your work…
The $100. Challenge!
In my workshop this past week we talked of the tales of years passed, and how money, and our relationship with money has changed tremendously.
One thing is constant: if we keep track of the small money, it will have an impact on the big money. It has worked that way since the money world began.
It is so easy these days to just keep pouring money into parking meters, shopping at the expensive shops and overlooking…
Dec 5, 2014 The Chickadee….
The chickadee is being featured as the ‘bird of the year’ for Vancouver in 2015. Chosen at random, it is a way to promote awareness to our local birds. Here is a card I picked up recently that addresses the chickadees and their attributes through a native artist, Sue Coleman.
The chickadee is known for its cheerful call: chick-a-dee-dee-dee-dee, chick-a-dee. There are seven kinds of chickadees, most of them sporting a black cap on their…
The ‘official Bagua’ is an octagon shape. Its use was similar to a compass in centuries past, containing information about earth, man and the heavens. This is very auspicious tool that was carried from town to town, it offers guidance and protection.
This particular wooden Bagua with a convex mirror is for use outside only. When hung from a doorway, it will reflect negative energy with the mirror and provide balance within the bagua wheel.
For many consultations, a…

Choose your images carefully when bringing new items into your home.
Common Shapes for Decorating
When supporting an area within the Bagua, shapes are often the easiest to manipulate. The three common shapes:
SQUARES: If the life area you choose to enhance needs solid grounding, then squares would be the shape. You can choose one item, or you could arrange several items into a square shape. In addition, you can arrange several ’square-type’ pictures into one…
Rethinking the Bucket List
Are we happy yet? We have all been working for many years, saving our money, trying to plan for the future… and the unknown. The planning is one thing and life’s surprises are another! I’ve noticed that many people begin talking about their ‘bucket lists’ whenever a ‘big’ birthday rolls around. So, what is wrong with that? Nothing, but perhaps it is the little nudge you need to actually start the list.
Feng shui can help…
WHAT ARE YOU REALLY SELLING?
Is it a dream, a feeling or a life style?
When you have developed a product or service that you are proud of, the next step is to find buyers for the product. Expand on the basics and get creative; get under the hood and inside their heads.
When marketing tangible items, the consumer can actually visualize the product.
If it is a car, you can entice them to sit in the driver’s seat, feel…
The Empty Desk
What happens to productivity when you work beside an empty desk and chair? Are you happy that no one is in ‘your space’? Or, are you aware of the empty void nearby?
In feng shui, even an empty space has a place in time, no matter how inactive it may be. Could you really be affected working beside an empty desk?
In some cases, it depends on the reason why the desk is empty? Predecessor energy is…
When purchasing crystals as a ‘cure’, be sure to buy a quality product!

The Crystal Speaks!
When using a crystal for a cure, it applies energy-enhancing qualities. It can either gather or disperse chi-energy. So, how does that work?
Chi-energy is able to move very quickly through a long hallway. If the intention is to ‘slow down’ the aggressive chi, a crystal can be placed mid-way through the hall. The multi-facets on the crystal will absorb and…
