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.

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…
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…
The FS Garden and Neighborhood Tour
Last Thursday was a bit soggy, but the rain let up after 4pm and we were still able to step into our feng shui ‘walk and talk’.
I usually lead a talk or a seminar in the safe confines of a sheltered building, but this time, the spring energy was calling me outside!
A small group of us met in a Kitsilano neighbour for a feng shui tour of a few blocks. Feng shui…
The ‘Royal WE’
It is easy to fall into a routine when we are comfortable in a relationship. I think that is part of the ‘beauty’ of a long term relationship. We already know what to expect, how the chores are divided up, who is in charge of the garbage and who takes care of the laundry. But, after a while, resentment can set in. Someone else can be perceived to have a ‘better deal’ or your work schedule no…
ENERGY FIELDS in Humans and Pets
Energy fields in humans and pets can be detected using the same dowsing tools for geopathic stress.
We all have an energetic field around us. Think of the chi-energy we’ve talked about earlier. It is invisible to the naked eye, but it has enough power to send out our moods and temperaments to the general public. The dowsing rod can assess your energy level by counting each time the arm swings a full…
Victorian Balloon Back Chairs: Can they turn into Clutter?
Built in the 1860’s these chairs support an amazing history of the pre-industrial era. Retracing their history; the tree was grown in England, harvested at its prime and destined for its purpose of being admired and ‘sat-upon’ by the elite.
We believe this set of six chairs served its purpose in England for many decades before immigrating to North America. When Stephen found the set in the early 90’s, several…
McDonald’s comes to Vietnam!
First world food comes to Third World country:
But, Is it too much to ask for a stove and a bed?Many of you know my son Jeremy is living in Vietnam. He is doing a number of things, mostly teaching English and driving Jeeps for tourists. The language is often a huge barrier, but sometimes the culture is…different.
