Where is your Ancestor Chi-energy?
I have discussed chi-energy previously and as you know, it can be found in many forms. Ancestor-chi is passed along via the blood lines that connect you with your direct ancestors.
My dad’s working career was a Newspaper Ad-man. He did the ‘copy’ for all the ads and special features that ran in the newspapers back in Ontario. He came from a bloodline of serious artists. When retired, he turned his attention to paintings…
Good Vibes in the Bedroom by Kathryn Wilking
We all know how ‘sacred’ the master bedroom is; but is it getting the attention it really needs for a solid relationship? Often the master bedroom is the last room to get any attention!
In feng shui, the main objective of the ‘relationship area’ is to have this area balanced in order to maintain an equal partnership. The master bed should be large enough to support both parties, without a crack…
Embrace Your Chaos
Did I read this right? Embrace your chaos?
Absolutely! In order for you to try and maintain order in the office, you do need to identify what is going on during your day.
Side-tracked? Are you spending too much time ‘doing stuff’ and not completing anything? Are you driving these distractions? Time to start being accountable for your time; communication with e-mails, texts, games and issues with deadlines. Assign a reasonable time for personal tasks and…
Fire People have Energy to Burn
Do you remember the last time you were really passionate about something? It could have been something quiet; perhaps a breath-taking view of the lake? Or, more emotional; such as standing up for someone who was falsely accused?
The fire element, in feng shui, is represented by the colour red and generally shows up in the Fame or Wealth areas of the home. These areas of your home are definitely hot, as they…
Dreaming Your Life Away?
Do you see a face in these clouds? This is the statue of Kuan Yin, the Goddess of Compassion. She seems to have an omnipotent presence in the sky beside her. Is this a message for her or to us? What does this say to you?
Take a look overhead today and see what the clouds are doing. Stretch your imagination. Serious daydreamers are extremely creative! They replay scenarios, conjure up delightful solutions to problems…
The Little Buddha
This little guy is barely 3” high (7cm), solid jade and full of life! He was acquired on impulse.
I am a Christian, and yet I’ve explored many of the Buddhist philosophies within the study of feng shui. I had no
intention of bringing a Buddha into my house, converting to Buddhism or starting a shrine. So, I’m a little reluctant to admit how much I am enjoying his company.
I was in a busy Jade Factory…
Q: Kathryn, I remember you talking about energy rings a few months ago and you mentioned something about using them to be more cheerful in the gloomy months. Can you elaborate on this topic?
A: I did mention energy rings back in the spring. I was talking about redirecting EMF and geopathic energy away from the body. These copper energy rings come in three sizes. One, 10” round, small enough to fit under a chair cushion. Others are 13” and…
Wealth and abundance are measured different by everyone. Wealth, in terms of feng shui, speaks of luck, fortune and abundance. These things won’t materialize without some sort of effort on our part; fortunes don’t fall out of the sky very often. We need to define what we are seeking in order to find what we are looking for. Luck, fortune and abundance can be found in many forms.
In order to change something in our lives, we need to initiate…
Life is more than the routine work/home/sleep cycle. Whether we realize it or not, our lives are sorted into a plethora of accountabilities; personal areas, health and family, children, relationships, creative hobbies, spiritual growth, continuing education and learning, domestic chores, holidays, crisis management, hockey or soccer games and personal recreation. This is a lot to maintain! For personal growth and optimum health one needs to find the balance.
Feng shui has a tool called the ba-gua, which divides the life…
Q: I’ve just given my daughter two chairs from our living room. This room has always felt crowded and now it still doesn’t work. Where do I start? Is there a formula for arranging a living room?
A: The starting point is; what is the room used for? Depending on the answer, that is how to determine how much furniture you actually need. Then, decide if there is a focal point; a TV, fireplace or a nice view.
A simple…
I want to Thank You very much for helping me put up my pictures before all the festivities. (Chinese New Year) It was nice to have your expertise in placing the pictures in the right place, so we have good feng sui.
I love coming home; it is such a safe, calming retreat for me.
