I have been asked many times; “Why is feng shui so complicated? Isn’t there a quick fix to help me with my money issues?”
The layers and layers of feng shui do seem complicated. There is not a ‘one size fits all’ for each situation. However, it is be possible for you to put a few changes into place, with good intentions, and observe the shift in your situation. The rewards will come.
A practical solution: You need to make…

For maximum efficiency you will need to have your back protected, your vision unobstructed and good supports on each side of your body. It is easy to understand the routine process in setting up your desk and physical environment, but there is so much more.

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…
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…
Is your desk out of control? Are the documents getting misplaced? Are you anxious and stressed out easily? It may be time to pay some attention to your office and desk arrangement.
Feng Shui, the ancient art of influence for your environment, can help you sort out your surroundings and therefore your life. Often, only a few simple changes are needed to fuel the change or energy in your workspace.
1. Set yourself up in the Command Position
The Command…
Is it time to deal with the workday blues? Are you procrastinating with the projects and the task list, again? Did the summer months just slip away?
Feng Shui can be applied to re-energize your space.
The base logic of all Feng Shui ‘cures’ states you need to change something, in order to make a change. It is the energy moving that makes the change… things you can see, and things you can’t.
An example of dead energy would…
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…
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…
My husband and I recently attended a Laughing Yoga Workshop.
The question: “What is Laughing Yoga?” was still in our minds as we walked into the room.
It turns out that ‘laughing’, itself, can be classified as ‘cardio exercise’; as you use your diaphragm and lungs to the fullest when applying a good full-belly laugh. Good to know!
Sitting in a circle of about 16 strangers, it would appear that no one was going to talk, let alone laugh…
