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…
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…
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…
Avoiding the Valentine Syndrome
Okay, it is almost here again this year: Valentine’s Day. This day is almost guaranteed to bring mental anguish to a confident, productive executive. So, what is this all about?
It is supposed to be, a declaration or validation of love between two people. And, the media tells us we need to be running around looking for the perfect gift! The hype is often over-the-top and unrealistic for regular couples. So, why is this concept difficult…
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…
Stop the Madness …the short version
It was only a few years ago that we were dealing with our own renovation. Is was a complicated ordeal dealing with dry rot and removal of our east wall; then to rebuild the kitchen, two bathrooms and the upper deck.
I still have nightmares about ‘Living Under a Blue Tarp’ , ‘Where is the Microwave Today?’ and then ‘Sanity Still Prevails!’
When the year of continuous disruptions had past, the frame- of- mind…
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…
The Milking Stool
It always surprises me, when a well-grounded couple gets thrown off balance. The issue is often so trivial, you wonder what the heck was that all about. In my case, just last week, the issue was a milking stool!
My husband is an earth-personality. He likes to collect memorabilia, antiques and unique items. He holds them all very dear to his heart. In the case of the milking stool, it was originally his great-grandmother’s, from the…
Doing a live interview could create a sense of disconnection when I can’t see the other person. – Chatting with Kathryn however, was the exact opposite. Her interesting comments and questions had me thinking on my feet and I thoroughly enjoyed the dialogue. I love that she adds intriguing bits of feng shui wisdom that tie into the topic and open a whole new avenue of discussion. She stays true to her focus of providing Practical Solutions even when dealing with more esoteric subjects.
