Energy Shift- Mercury Retrograde

I have been feeling a shift in energy and looked it up. And indeed, Mercury retrograde starts April 17th and ends May 11. So this doesn’t mean get depressed and frustrated. It means be aware that there will be communication challenges and the more challenges we each have is because there is a lesson that we haven’t learned and that we are creating that block. Go with the flow and be mindful to be very clear in our own communication and intention and we will all be fine during this energy shift.

Best wishes for a magical day!

Feng Shui Eyes

Feng Shui Eyes
Did you know that everything around you is alive and talking to you? When I say ‘talking to you’, this means how does an object for example, resonate in your heart. What is your furniture saying? What does your art say? Does it make you happy or sad, bring joy or guilt? Do you have rooms in your home or office that you spend more time in than others? I’d like to tell you a little about Feng Shui and how, through Feng Shui eyes, you can create harmony and balance in your home or office.
Feng Shui is the Ancient Chinese art of placement. This simply means that through strategic placement of items in your home you can create and achieve what you desire in life. Your home is your place of rejuvenation, nourishment, and family time. If your home is out of balance, you tend to be out of balance.
So how do you go about achieving balance in your home or office? In Form Feng Shui we use what is called the Bagua Map, which originates from the I Ching and has eight trigrams, or “special areas of life.” We use the Bagua as a tool to locate these special areas and enhance them. For example, the far left corner of the Bagua is your Wealth and Prosperity area. We can enhance this area to help bring in more abundance. Place something in that corner that makes you feel wealthy; an expensive piece of art, a coin collection, or a water fountain. Water represents wealth in Feng Shui. Wealth can be in many forms, not just money. Are there boxes of stuff in this corner or a messy closet? Too many boxes that are unorganized become clutter. We look at clutter as holding you back in life. Think about it, if you go into a room or office that has stacks of papers and books and to do lists, do you feel overwhelmed and frustrated? Most people do. Most people are easily distracted. An organized and clean office helps people concentrate. This is called clutter and you can see how it affects your mind. Clutter blocks us from achieving our highest potential. Why are we holding onto so many things, especially when we live in such an abundant world?
Feng Shui gives your home or office a facelift. Using your style, I create balance and harmony in your space. If you are looking for a more relaxing living room or need more energy in your office, we can achieve this through Feng Shui: using color, shapes, textures, command position, and aligning with your goals. I work with your furniture and can help you in choosing new furniture to replace or to add to a space. I look at the energy flow inside your home as well as outside. When you come home you want to love driving up to your home, parking and walking through your front door and feel that you have arrived home to your personal oasis to be nourished. You want to go outside and love your backyard and enjoy your time outside. Feng Shui creates that balance!

Feng Shui Tip on Beams

I have had a lot of people ask me recently… “what do I do about a beam on my ceiling?” The best thing you can do with a beam is to blend it into the ceiling so it doesn’t feel like you have a heavy beam hanging over you or that it is chopping the room and furniture in half. Painting a beam to match the ceiling color does wonders!
