Metal-Energy People are the Backbone for Society
The elements in feng shui are directly related to properties of the earth. Each of these properties has its own structure, specific components, and their own personalities. Just like us, some of these elements work very well together, and sometimes not!
In feng shui, the metal element represents structure, integrity and discipline. Metal people are introverts, and more methodical than the others. Metal-type-people like to work with numbers, finite issues and can easily…
Looking for a better flow through life?
Let’s face it, our lives are full. We‘ve picked up a few habits along the way, good and bad. We have goals. We’ve made connections, plans and we are moving along. But things could be better.
Something is stopping our progress; over time, projects and dreams can end up on the shelf. Often, the problem is allowing oneself to procrastinate.
My experience through feng shui has taught me that many of our…

In the next few months, you may find the blues setting in; waiting for spring to arrive. Hibernation can be a option for you. How could you bring some spice into your world?
~I looked up synonyms for the word ‘spice’; the top three words I liked best were interest, pizazz and enhance! Very cool, indeed!

Change; it is inevitable. Coming out of hibernation each year is a BIG DEAL! All of a sudden, one day you’ll be tired of wearing the same clothes all winter and look forward to a change. With daylight savings time, there is energy for a walk after dinner. These are all signs of the change coming ahead!
Many of us have been sick or ‘under the weather’ this past month; could it be the SAD syndrome (Seasonal Affective Disorder)? That…
Mindfulness has been the new buzzword used to describe being quiet and ‘being in the moment’. It is easier to talk about, than it is to do it!
Mindfulness is a practise that allows you to actually forget about the ‘stuff’ going on around you, and focus on the task-at-hand. Mindfulness takes discipline.

Q: Hi Kathryn, Feng shui is supposed to help with a good nights sleep. Which is the best direction to face the bed? Thanks.
