You can pick up a Feng Shui book and everyone will tell you to paint your front door red to bring in the strong Yang energy. This door is very important because it brings to you the very auspicious energy that will nourish your house. Maybe you don’t like the color red and just maybe the whole housing plan has red doors. Is there any help for you?<br />
<br />
These doors located in Pittsburgh, Pa. have the beautiful Victorian colors represented in the entrance area.<br />
<br />
All Feng Shui experts will tell you to look at the <a href="http://www.fengshuiplaza.com/Feng-Shui-Elements/" target="_blank">five elements</a> when doing your Feng Shui. The elements are what helps you put your home or office in balance and keeps you strong and focused.<br />
<br />
The following is each element and color that represents them:<br />
<ul>
<li>Fire - Red.</li>
<li>Earth -Yellow. </li>
<li>Water - Blue/Black. </li>
<li>Metal - Gray/white.</li>
<li>Wood - Brown/green </li>
</ul>
Then you have to consider the following:<br />
<ol>
<li>What is it you are trying to accomplish in your life? In other words, have you set intentions? For example, do you have a home office and need encouragement to keep focused and clear on what you are to accomplish each day? Paint your front door the color of Metal, either gray or white. </li>
<li> If you are looking for calmness and the energy to come to your home for abundance, use the color of the Water element, either dark blue or black.<br /> </li>
<li>If you are looking for healing in your home or growth of your business, use the Wood element and you will cover both bases. Use the colors brown or green.<br /> </li>
<li>The Earth element will take care of bringing in the energy for good health. It also provides stability and is a grounding force for everyone in the home. Use yellow or light beige. </li>
</ol>
The Fire element will bring in the strong yang energy and support you in your career and also support you in your fame and reputation area. These colors are the reds, dark oranges and purples.

It almost has a gravitational pull, so it makes sense to acknowledge that the kitchen has a unique energy, and to try to make sure that energy is all flowing in the right direction. That's where feng shui comes in. Rules of feng shui design can often seem indecipherable to those who are unfamiliar with the concept. Learn more about this type of design in our infographic below!<br />
<br />
Feng shui is all about maximizing the flow of positive energy (Chi) in your home. The placement of certain objects or pieces of furniture is believed to greatly influence this flow. Even the shape of pieces of furniture can be influenced by feng shui, which values rounded shapes like an oval table over sharp corners.<br />
<br />
If you have a hard time making design decisions in your home, using feng shui principles can be a huge help to guide you in the right direction, especially when it comes to picking a color scheme! Determine your kitchen's direction in your home, and then use our guide to find out which colors to use. Each color scheme is derived from the five Chinese elements: wind, fire, earth, metal, and water. Read on for more tips on how to feng shui your kitchen!<br />

Most of the time, your living room is also the “company” entertaining space. The family room is usually your family hang out space. When looking at your living room area, remember that <b>this area is creating your reputation with others you are entertaining</b>. Therefore, if the Feng Shui of the space isn’t very good, it affects your relationships.<br />
<br />
The <b>best shape for your living room should be a regular shape, either a square or a rectangle</b>. If your only option is an L shaped or irregular shape you must fill in this space to complete a well maintained Feng Shui room. You can do this by adding “more space” with mirrors.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b>Feng Shui Tips for Your Living Room: </b></h3>
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Utilize the elements, water, fire, metal, earth and wood in the corners of the room</b>. You don’t have to use all of them within the space, just a symbol in the area will work fine. For example, the water element that is located in the South will support your career.<br /><br /></li>
<li>When you have corners that protrude into the room, <b>add tall plants to diffuse this negative energy</b>. <br /><br /></li>
<li><b>Check out your artwork to make sure that it is a symbol of positive energy</b>. You wouldn’t want a picture of a large, aggressive animal in this space as it would sublimely create discomfort in the room.<br /><br /></li>
<li><b>Lighting is very important</b> to keep a “yang” energy with in the room to keep conversations lively.
<br /><br /></li>
<li>If you are looking to bring more wealth into your home, this is the space to work the Feng Shui magic. <b>Place items that symbolize wealth coming into your home in the far left hand corner of the space.</b> Combine the color of purple in your décor and it will also enhance the prosperity in this same space.<br /><br /></li>
<li>You can also <b>place the colors of the elements, red (fire), blue (water), green (wood) yellow (earth), silver (metal) within your décor on a coffee table.</b> You can easily add these colors with candles on a tray or colored glass in a bowl.<br /></li>
</ul>
Make your spaces work for you and your family by utilizing some of these tips and you all will realize the benefits of Feng Shui.<br />

<a href="https://tse1.mm.bing.net/th?&id=OIP.M61fd4a1928a84e549aeccce8911f2437o0&w=300&h=290&c=0&pid=1.9&rs=0&p=0&r=0" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://tse1.mm.bing.net/th?&id=OIP.M61fd4a1928a84e549aeccce8911f2437o0&w=300&h=290&c=0&pid=1.9&rs=0&p=0&r=0" /></a><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">Your concept of wealth depends on your level of
satisfaction and varies depending on your personal priorities and belief
system. Although wealth does imply material gain, it’s important to note that
people’s needs are different. In general, the ancient Chinese felt wealthy if
they had an abundance of food, shelter, and livestock. Prosperity not only
included health, family and love it also indicated an increase in resources.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">For example some might feel wealthy as long as they
have enough food on the table and a protective roof over their head. Others
only feel wealthy if they can buy a Porsche. Examine yourself and determine
what wealth means to you—careful introspection will tell you where you may need
to make adjustments. However you measure Wealth, it’s important to make sure it
does not become a prison that locks you away from generosity and love.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Self-cultivated and enlightened persons are
aware that money is not the purpose of life.<span style="font-family: Cambria;"> </span></span>A simple life of contentment is true wealth.<span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">The concept of Prosperity has a wider scope.
Although it can refer to increasing your material possessions, its main focus
is health, family, love and personal growth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>To prosper means to gain much more than material possessions. It means
having the things that money cannot buy. Almost often Prosperity brings a
feeling of security and contentment.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">The elements are out of balance this year of the Fire Monkey-not so good! Water is missing and you need to add a lot of it bring in this element to your environment. Many of the symbols of Wealth and Prosperity are related to water. However
there are sub-meanings as well.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">Here are three of the many relevant symbols:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">Goldfish— not only because they live in water, but
also because having plenty of fish to eat was something the ancient Chinese
considered to be evidence of prosperity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The Goldfish do not have to be live; you can have pictures or a likeness
of them in art.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">Fountains— flowing water represents Wealth and
Prosperity flowing into your life. Clean drinking water and water for
agriculture was a necessity for the ancient Chinese, so the availability of it
was a large part of what the ancient Chinese considered prosperity. Flowing
water brought abundant crops and health. Fortunately these days you can
purchase a miniature fountain that is practical for almost any living space. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">Plants and Foliage—</span><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12.0pt;"> successful agriculture was essential to the
concepts of Wealth and Prosperity to the ancient Chinese.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Water was and is essential to having an
abundance of food. Additionally, the complimentary element to Wealth and Prosperity is wood, so you’ll want to include some objects representing the
wood element as well.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12.0pt;">The
contemporary methods of Feng Shui associate Wealth and Prosperity issues with
the back left corner of any space. If you stand at your front door facing into
the house your wealth area is at the back of the house on the left-hand side. Face
any room from the doorway of the room and the wealth area is the back left
corner. These are usually the places you’ll want to pay attention to this year.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12.0pt;">Finally,
there are things you can <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">practice</i> and
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">actions</i> you can take that will help
you maximize the opportunities the year offers.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12.0pt;">Eliminate
clutter in your house. Clutt</span><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12.0pt;">er represents stagnant energy and disorder—two
things that will inhibit any opportunities for Wealth and Prosperity. Although
you should keep a clutter-free and orderly house, pay particular attention to
the Wealth and Prosperity areas of each room.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12.0pt;">Fix things that are broken—especially the Wealth and Prosperity areas. Anything
that doesn't work as it should is a sign of something wrong in the area of your
life that corresponds to that part of your space.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12.0pt;">Organize
your finances. Think of this as removing financial clutter. Clean out and
organize your purse and wallet. Start handling your money as though you value
it. Keep your checkbook balanced and pay your bills on time. If you neglect your
money, it will neglect you.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12.0pt;">Practice
generosity. Wealth and Prosperity needs to flow through your life, not just
into it. If you don't yet have ample money to share, give as generously as you
can of your time, energy, compassion, and appreciation.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12.0pt;">Finally,
remember that it’s too easy to focus on financial and material increase than it
is other forms of Wealth and Prosperity. Unfortunately this is largely due to
our current culture’s concepts than the ancient truths of Feng Shui. If your
family is safe, secure, healthy and happy you may already be Wealthy and
Prosperous.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In that case, practicing
Feng Shui correctly can not only help you keep that, it could even increase it!</span></div>

The very first Thanksgiving Day event was not considered an event, it was a happening! Everyone came together and brought their best displays of food and sat down for a meal that provided them with soul comfort and celebration for the end of the harvest season.<br />
<br />
Today we still celebrate with our family and friends and even those who are far away from their families usually have a family to support them, whether they are the college student or one of our military who happens to be stationed in our area.<br />
<br />
People were integrated with the earth because they harvested their own fresh food, they baked their own breads and of course, used everything locally. They used vines to make baskets and they used gourds for drinking cups and they used straw for mats. What a concept for us now as we try to bring this back into our lives! So many look at the buy local as something new! Our décor today is mums, gourds, corn on the cob and straw and they are all of the earth.<br />
<br />
When you think of our baked brown turkey and stuffing and acorn or butternut squash and sweet potatoes; they all represent these same traditions as in the past. Some tips that will insure that everyone has a comfortable relaxed atmosphere are:<br />
<br />
A round table or an oblong table will create good family relationships and great conversations. No worries if you only have a square table, the softness of a tablecloth and round dishes will also help your family to have a good experience. The elements of Feng Shui are, metal, earth, wood, fire and water. If these elements are in our surrounding area in the room this will also support a good balanced environment.<br />
<br />
If you happened to use green placemats and have a salad in that location, this would cover the wood element. If you would add to the table the white dinner napkin, it is symbolic of the metal element. The addition of lovely candles and now you have the fire element to keep people energized. By placing a goblet of water on the table, you will have covered that element also. Your food will be the best of all of these elements as it is of the earth!<br />
<br />
Here are the basics:<br />
<ul>
<li>Create great seating arrangements.</li>
<li>Set lovely dinner table décor and settings. Now is the time to use those dishes in the China Cabinet and the real silver.</li>
<li>Complete the whole process with the addition of the 5 elements of Feng Shui. </li>
</ul>
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day!<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">The long standing
tradition of festivals of lights is a tribute to celebrating all the good
things in life and of the joy of holiday seasons. Filling the home with lights, music and
hosting families and friends to celebrate is what makes festive occasions so
memorable. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">With another
Christmas season coming around the corner, homes, neighborhoods, city squares
and parks will be glowing with thousands of twinkling lights and candles,
lighting up the night skies at the darkest time of the year. What would Christmas be without the magical effect
of twinkling lights? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">The action of
twinkling lights turning on and off creates the effect of “new light” being
continually generated, warding off the opposing darkness of night with each
twinkle. The result is the creation of
happy energy and joyful vibrations to uplift the spirit. The ancient art of Feng Shui reveres light as
a Yang activator, increasing the cheer and positive energy in the environment. As a perfect reflection of the Tai Chi of Yin
and Yang, the twinkling of lights represents new energy being created and the
celestial balance of opposing forces of light and dark in harmony with each
other. One can’t help but feel affected
by the positive energy created by the display of contrasting energies in a complementary
dance of light. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Throughout the
world with all celebratory occasions, the power of lights has been creatively
harnessed in grand displays of glowing triumph to inspire and uplift the
senses. No matter what culture, people
naturally understand and celebrate the symbolism of the forces of light winning
over darkness. Many religious
traditions, such as the Christians, Hindus or Buddhists have understood the
effect of lights in the either the form of candles, lanterns or modern day
electrical lighting, to signify offerings to God. With light being revered as the manifestation
of yang chi, the more and brighter the lights at ceremonies and altars, the
greater the spiritual strength and upliftment of the devotees and worshipers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">The magical
science of Feng Shui regards twinkling lights as powerfully attracting the
energy of good fortune, and as a tool for enhancing business and more
customers. The Chinese have known this
for centuries and utilize twinkling lights and Chinese Wealth Trees in their homes
and businesses. It’s known that shopping
malls with large Christmas trees and twinkling lights benefit from increased
sales by naturally attracting customers, in comparison to trees with stationary
lighting. With each twinkle of light,
energy is activating the positive vibration of the premises. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">In the home,
twinkling lights offer a warm welcome to friends and family upon entering,
lifting moods and increasing harmony, peace and joy. Any home can benefit from utilizing twinkling
lights at all times of the year, and it’s wise to incorporate this beneficial
and ancient Feng Shui tool for happy ambience, abundance and good will.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">The universal
understanding of good is perfectly reflected in grand displays of twinkling
lights. Motivated by nostalgic sentiment,
tradition, spiritual upliftment or the knowledge of Feng Shui, many cultures
uphold collective ceremonies of lighting millions of lights on certain nights
of the year. So as the festive season
approaches around the globe with Winter Solstice, Christmas and New Year’s Eve,
remember that a little twinkling lights can go a long way in creating a festive
and joyful ambience.<i><br />

According to an article in the New York Times, the McDonalds
Corporation joined the forces of <br />Feng Shui in 2008 in Los Angeles. Who would
ever believe that! They did it by creating comfortable seating arrangements,
good color design and great artwork. It is
the same kind of energy you want to create in your office and home.<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Feng Shui is all about creating peace and harmony within
your environment. Retail managers
constantly strive to keep us all in their businesses for as long as
possible. This is not always the goal of
the Hospitality Industry. Most of the
time, they want a quick turn over, which means uncomfortable seating and a
rushed atmosphere. <br /><br /><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Disneyland made quite a few mistakes with its Hong Kong
location. After they consulted with a Feng Shui Master, they changed the
position of the door by 12 degrees. This
was to ensure that the prosperity would keep on flowing in the doors straight
through the entrance way of the park. Once it was realized that they had to
keep in mind the Asian culture and their love of Feng Shui, their business
improved. <br /><br /><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One of their services in this location is to cater large
weddings. The event center was designed utilizing the number
8, which is believed to be prosperous! Their event room is 888 square meters,
for this reason. They do not use the
number 4 because it is considered bad luck.
So if you are looking for a room on the fourth floor, you really are out
of luck!<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
This ancient art will affect your mood and behavior and also
be a factor in successful personal and professional relationships. The goal is to get it right from the
beginning, which means during the construction or remodeling of a building or
home. There are many ways to “fix” an
area that doesn't have the correct design after it is built, but sometimes it
requires more money to make any necessary changes. <br /><br /><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ideally, you should have a Feng Shui expert look at the
property first, before you start construction. They will look at the geography
of the land that will impact everyone in the building or home. The ideal
location would have hills or mountains to the north and the reason is that the
hills are symbolic for being protectors of the property. The southern area for your front door is the
most auspicious.<br /> <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The next time you are hungry for the burger and fries menu,
check out the restaurant and see why you like going there. Is it the colors, the energy of the servers
or is it the French fries?<br /><br /><o:p></o:p></div>

makes for a cluttered mind. The constant distraction and pull of random
objects and piles of useless items around us only scatters and erodes our
energy. True to the ancient science of Feng Shui, the movement of energy
forces have an enormous impact on our psyche and emotional state. Like our

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-CA">As we begin a new year, why not enter it
with a lighter load and fresh outlook? Perhaps it’s time for you to take stock
of your possessions and evaluate if you have use for them anymore. Whether
it’s clothes and shoes you no longer wear, old furniture, magazines and CDs,
dishes, ornaments and trinkets, or cupboards full of old products, there
are plenty of outlets that will gladly take used items, and you can feel
good that you’re assisting others in need. You can approach the process
with a light heart rather than as a dreaded chore, knowing it will benefit you
and others.</span><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When
does nostalgia over an item become a weight? As the perception of what’s

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="line-height: 107%;">Why not start with your purse? Then turn to your
home and clear the corners, entrance ways, window sills, closets, and bedroom
drawers, under the sinks, the basement and garage. It’s vital to clear the
foundation beyond just the surface, leaving nothing festering behind closed
doors.</span><span style="line-height: 107%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-CA"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">A helpful
strategy is to arm yourself with some empty boxes and garbage bags, with the
intention of categorizing your throw-away items for recycling, garbage, gifts
to others, and second hand stores. Start with something that won’t
overwhelm you and leave you feeling inspired; perhaps that might be
de-cluttering your car! After clearing out the junk from your home, you
might find yourself enthusiastic to continue revitalizing it by washing the
walls – think of washing away years of old energy beyond cleaning off dirt and
stains. </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The very
first Thanksgiving Day event was not considered an event, it was a
happening! Everyone came together and
brought their best displays of food and sat down for a meal that provided them
with soul comfort and celebration for the end of the harvest season.<br /><br /><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today we
still celebrate with our family and friends and even those who are far away
from their families usually have a family to support them, whether they are the
college student or one of our military who happens to be stationed in our area.<br /><br /><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">People were
integrated with the earth because they harvested their own fresh food, they
baked their own breads and of course, used everything locally. They used vines to make baskets and they used
gourds for drinking cups and they used straw for mats. What a concept for us now as we try to bring
this back into our lives! So many look
at the buy local as something new! Our décor today is mums, gourds, corn on the
cob and straw and they are all of the earth.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When you
think of our baked brown turkey and stuffing and acorn or butternut squash and
sweet potatoes; they all represent these same traditions as in the past. Some
tips that will insure that everyone has a comfortable relaxed atmosphere are:<br /><br /><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A round
table or an oblong table will create good family relationships and great
conversations. No worries if you only
have a square table, the softness of a tablecloth and round dishes will also
help your family to have a good experience.
The elements of Feng Shui are, metal, earth, wood, fire and water. If these elements are in our surrounding area
in the room this will also support a good balanced environment.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you
happened to use green placemats and have a salad in that location, this would
cover the wood element. If you would add
to the table the white dinner napkin, it is symbolic of the metal element. The addition of lovely candles and now you
have the fire element to keep people energized.
By placing a goblet of water on the table, you will have covered that
element also. Your food will be the best
of all of these elements as it is of the earth!

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Spring brings forth the large energy force of Yang because
of all of the growth in nature. It is needed to encourage all plant life to
stand up and shine for us! In the fall,
the weather shifts and changes into a Yin energy which is a lot softer and easier
for us to navigate. All of a sudden
children are back to school, work becomes more serious and we start are winter
journey of being more of a private person.
During the summer days we are out and about in public places and see a
lot of people and that shifts once the weather changes.<br /><br /><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is very important that we make allowance for these
changes and help the energy move in the right direction now. All of the great chi earth energy comes right
through the front entrances of our homes.
I strongly encourage you to walk outside and stand back at the curb and
look at your front entrance way.<br /><br /><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Check out the gardens or bushes or trees that are located in
this area. How are they doing? </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Most of the profusely flowering bushes have settled
down and are in need of pruning and cleaning up of the dead leaves and flowers
that have fallen to the ground. I have
started this process and I can hardly wait to bring out the jewel tone colors
of the chrysanthemums. Their brilliant
colors will create the pop in your garden and surrounding your house with the
warmth of fall. The deep oranges, the brilliant purples and bright yellow
colors will lift our energy. Be sure to
take a look at them when you come home from work!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><o:p></o:p></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I always see the autumn as a wonderful time of the
year. The weather is perfect, kids are
ready to get back to school and there is excitement in the air when the first
bus pulls up to retrieve your child and move him back in to the world of
education instead of the world of play.
This is a hugh transformation to undertake for all of us, schedules
change and we have to get back to a regiment and most of us would prefer not to
do this yet. We want to hang onto our
summers just a little bit longer. <br /><br /><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While you are at the curb area, look at your front entrance
way, what is going on there? Are the
flowers dead; is anything in need of de-cluttering? Have you thought about what is next for your
gardens? Now is the time to purchase the
flowering tulip and daffodil bulbs that you love to see in the spring. A front door entrance way looks great with
the addition of two tall plants at the door or two large statues. They then become protectors’ of your front
door and your family. It is just as if
you have placed two large Lion Statues in the space.<br /><br /><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now take a look at the front door, is it in need of
painting? Replace any Welcome Mats if
necessary, anything with a touch of red is great. Pull out those wreathes and make sure that
they are looking good! If not replace or
re-glue anything that needs repaired.
Check out the bow, maybe it is time for a new one!<br /><br /><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Are your light posts clean and have new bulbs in them and is
the brass cleaned on the front door and light post? Remember this is what others see when they
come to your home to visit with you. <br /><br /><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now
move into the entrance way into your home.
Is it welcoming to everyone that walks through the door? If not, add some great artwork or floral
arrangements that give your guests something to look at </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">when they walk in the door. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">A subtle touch of aromatherapy here works
wonders!</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">All of these details will help
anchor in the fall season quickly and easily for you.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">Happy Fall!</span><br />

how to register and he would be very glad to handle my baggage until I was
registered.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

my way to the registration area, a lovely lady met me with several cocktails of
my choice. I didn’t want to be rude, so
of course, I helped myself to a cool looking Mohito. Yes, it was just a perfect start of the

in most of the Mexican resorts the colors are the earthy tones of oranges,
yellows, soft greens and very welcoming.
My room was no exception; it made me happy right away. I threw the bags down and was on the search
for my new island resort wardrobe that I could hardly wait to wear. Now the trick was to find my way back along
the curving pathways to the swimming pools.
Have no fear; the place is very well marked and easy to navigate. I find Pool number 1 and it had the most
amazing children’s water pool I have ever seen.
It was totally separate of the other pools and had everything that you
as a parent would hope for, including two lifeguards who were actually
interacting with the children in the pool.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

to pool number 2 (the adult pool) l, hmm
there is a sign for a “Quiet Zone.” Yes,
I am going to check that pool out. It
was located in an area that was away from the children and any other loud
activities like the water volleyball or singing and dancing that were going
on. This was my first day and I needed
to de-stress to be able to enjoy my time at the resort and this seemed like the
perfect location for me. As I entered
into the pool area, I saw a large waterfall with a lovely pool underneath
it. Does it get any better than this for
a Feng Shui expert? I am home and I am going
to enjoy a relaxing time until it was time for lunch.</span></div>

is exactly 12 noon which means it is time to check out the food. As I am a foodie from way back, this was
very, very important to me. There are
many outdoor dining rooms to choose from, but I decided on the one that was
easy to go to with their lovely buffets and well-designed food areas. I can hardly choose my food as I am going
through the area just enjoying how well they have prepared the food area for
our arrival that day. Every food station
was merchandised with fresh fruits and veggies and had a great display of plants
intermixed throughout the area including miniature water falls mixed in the
displays. Yes, I was happy, happy,
happy! These are areas that I work in on
a daily basis in my food career and was delighted with their attention to
detail. Now the real test was what to eat easily and safely for me. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">Food
safety experts tell you to not eat the fruit and veggies or to drink the water
for health reasons. The main reason not
to eat any items grown in the soil is that they don’t have the standards that
we have here in the USA. But that is
what everyone, who is not in the food industry usually, eats. They think it is ok, but in reality, it
isn’t. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

fruit, no veggies, no water and now what.
My first day was a burger and fries, just because they were cooked well
and nothing was there to upset my system until I was more used to their
food. I didn’t give them a 5 star rating
on any of their dining areas, I would say more like 3.5, but I critique food on
a daily basis and I always go for the gold in the food area. Most other diners were perfectly fine with
their food choices.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small; line-height: 115%;">Most people
who are just starting to practice Feng Shui know that their bedroom and </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">their
living room are very important and they focus on balancing those two
rooms.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most Real Estate Agents can tell
you why—people spend more time in the bedroom and the living room than all the
other rooms in the house. So it’s natural that the practice of Feng Shui makes
it clear that those rooms play a vital part in determining how well peace,
prosperity and harmony flows into our lives.</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small; line-height: 115%;">But although
those rooms are important, there is another part of the house that is just as
important, but almost always overlooked:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>the entry way. Ch’i enters the house through doors and windows and the
major part of Ch’i enters through the front door (or the main entrance).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The entryway, how it’s constructed and how
it’s arranged and/or decorated determine the quality of Feng Shui that is
experienced by the entire household.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small; line-height: 115%;">The entrance
to your house plays a huge role in creating an environment of peace, prosperity
and harmony. It’s the first thing you experience when you enter the house and
the last thing you touch when you leave the house. Many of the oldest religions
recognize this. Judaism uses a Mezuzah on the doorframe to demonstrate that
their home is a sanctuary in miniature of holiness. Catholics use Holy Water at
the entrance of their churches so people can anoint themselves before they
enter the sanctuary.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While the exact
reasons may vary, it’s clear that the entryway is thought of as a portal of
peace and harmony by many different cultures and religions. Most probably, Feng
Shui, was taking advantage of this idea thousands of years before Judaism and
Christianity.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small; line-height: 115%;">The idea of
Feng Shui is to create the flow of positive energy (Ch’i). Unless you pay
attention to where that flow begins, it will be impossible to control that flow.
Even worse, since the entry way is the largest portal for Ch’i, it literally
determines how much positive energy comes into your home.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small; line-height: 115%;">Given the importance
of this topic, the next few articles I write will explain how to create an
entry way that is conducive to bringing peace, harmony and prosperity into your
home.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small; line-height: 115%;">The first
consideration you’ll want to make is <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">where</i>
the entrance is. Most homes have two main doors: one that was built by the
architect (the front door) and the side entrance, which is usually an entrance
from the side of the house or the garage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Most often, the occupants prefer one of the other for reasons of
convenience. So the first rule is to pick one.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Decide on which entryway to use and make sure all occupants use that one
exclusively.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course, using the other
door occasionally is fine if you’re emptying the trash or if the door leads to
the garden. Once you’ve determined where the portal is, then it’s time to
consider how to use it in order to maximize its potential to attract and
channel<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the positive energy that is
vital to helping you create a life and an environment that’s charged with peace
and prosperity.</span></span><br />

to make sure it’s harmonious with everything good that you want in your life.</span></span></div>

This is China’s most colorful and important event of the year. This year it is named “The Year of the Fire Monkey.” There are a total of 12 animals and they rotate throughout the years. There are many activities that happen during this time. On the first night of the celebration, there are fireworks to let go of the old and bring in the new, just like we do here in the USA. Also, on this night, they open all the windows and all of the doors in the house to allow the old year to go out! They have large parades and the lion dancing sways back and forth to the beat of the drummers. On the 5th day of the New year is the Chinese Lantern Festival and it is very colorful and beautiful. You will see paper lanterns made of the animal of the year and also large lanterns that are displayed in their parades. <br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Clean your house well in advance of the New Year. Do not sweep or clean on New Year’s day or it will represent you sending your wealth out the door. All brooms need to hidden and not visible. </li>
<li>Wear red since it is believed to be a happy color and symbolizes a bright future.</li>
<li>Give red envelopes filed with crisp dollar bills to children.</li>
<li>Decorate your home with nuts and sweets on a beautiful tray. You can also add chocolate gold coins to this mix as well.</li>
<li>Entertain your friends and laugh and enjoy the evening.</li>
<li>Open every door and every window on the stroke of midnight to let out the old year.</li>
<li>Clear your mind of “clutter” this day and keep your thoughts bright and optimistic for the coming New Year.</li>
<li>Don’t scold your children or cry on this day, for if you do, it will symbolize how your coming year will play out for you.</li>
<li>Postpone washing your hair this day as you will be washing out your good luck.</li>
<li>Display large bowls of oranges on the tables to give to your friends and family as gifts. </li>
</ol>
Lillian Too has shared her traditions with students and followers of Feng Shui during her training sessions. She has told them that early in the morning of the New Year, she brings in a truck full of oranges and she rolls them from the front door straight through her whole house. She is creating her own luck by following this ancient tradition.<br />

Lots of stones, not too many stones; more trees, fewer trees so many questions arise when someone wants to apply Feng Shui to their yard. To begin, orienting oneself with the Bagua will ground you in your approach <a href="http://www.creativecolordesigninc.com/">www.creativecolordesigninc.com</a>. <br />
<br />Determine the entry to your yard. Stand with your Bagua so that the bottom of the map is at the entry point. In general, this is the most auspicious location for your vegetables and flowering garden. You should fill it with a variety of vegetation and budding plants, as variation is a key element in FS. To your immediate left, you will want to add blue, such as cornflowers or yellow in the form of flowering bushes, sunflowers, varietals or shrubbery. Morning Glory and Hyacinth work perfectly. This placement will energize the flow of energies to allow knowledge to grow and your spirituality to increase.<br />
The area to your right inspires helpful people and travel. Silvers and whites should adorn this area of your yard, as you want to energize this area. You may wish to locate your dog house or bird feeder in this area. Add metallic silvers of all kinds to this location in your yard, including wind chimes, sun dials and statuary.<br />
<br />The very entry to your yard or garden is the career spot. Remove any and all obstacles from this area. Cut all low hanging limbs and add dark blues and blacks to this area with embedded pavers, reflecting balls or windsocks. Water is essential to career as it represents life, flow and counters stagnation. Locate your bird bath or water feature in this portion of your yard. Avoid locating jagging plants such as black berry or raspberry bushes in this area.<br />
<br />In the middle and to your left side of your yard, plant a tree or add a wooden picnic bench, for wood is the essential element of family. Green should envelope this region. This area should be filled with lush grass. Toss a table cloth down here from time to time and share a family picnic in this spot.<br />
In the center of your yard or garden, you want to foster the energy of self. Gold and yellow should decorate this area. Earth is the energy we are enhancing in this region, so allow it to remain as open and clear as possible. A small grouping of yellow tulips or marigolds is all you will need.<br />
To your immediate right, fuel your creativity and create positive energy for your children. The metal element should be added. The whites and silvers of the travel area should carry over into this region of your yard. Add sculpture and perhaps a swing to this portion you your yard.<br />
<br />Wealth energy is encouraged by the color purple. According to the Bagua, your wealth area is directly to your left across from the family area. Add crawling vines such as Clematis along with wooden lattice and wealth energy will cascade. <br />
<br />Directly across from the entry point to your garden, place your fire pit. Fire element feeds fame and reputation energy. Add hedges as the backdrop and allow red plants to dot the landscape. Salvia, Japanese maple, or a red rose bush would be perfect to promote your reputation energy. Also, do not be afraid to get creative and sculpt round and square shapes in your hedging; this too fuels the fame energy.<br />
<br />Love is in the air directly to the right of the fame and reputation corner. Love grows from the earth element. Enhance its energy with Wild Hyssop, encircling a couple of cherry trees would maximize pink which encourages love energy. Focus on grouping your plants and trees in twos in section of your yard. Though it may be tempting to add a wooden glider rocker for two to this region – avoid it if possible – for love is of the earth element and as much earth as possible should remain open.<br />
Energy will flow freely through your yard. You have not merely maximized the energy of your yard; you have maximized the energy of your life, mind, and soul. Have a tall, cool glass of lemonade and soak in all you have created.<br />

<div style="color: black;">
As spring invites us to get outdoors again and spruce up our yards, why not consider going beyond the usual habits of gardening, and instead work with your landscape in alignment with the wisdom of Feng Shui?<br />
<br />
With the summer months our yards can become an extension of our living space, and the garden allows us to feel connected to nature. Since the effective application of Feng Shui techniques do wonders for shifting the energy of interior spaces, it makes sense that the same principals apply to your yard and garden. A well designed Feng Shui garden landscape appeals to all the senses, delights visitors, and provides a calm and restorative environment to fully enjoy the summer season.</div>
<div style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black;">
Landscaping that is energized with the flow of chi will bring life to your home, and attract an abundance of birds, butterflies and a feeling of wellbeing. By incorporating representations of the elements, you can make your garden a retreat oasis in alignment with the wisdom of Feng Shui.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black;">
•Remove clutter, weeds, dead plants, objects to trip on such as tools and hoses, and other strewn debris in order to clear the space and let the energy (chi) flow.</div>
<div style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black;">
•Don’t overwhelm the environment with every dazzling color in the book, but choose a selection of uplifting colors such as orange and yellow, and calming colors like blue, purple and white. </div>
<div style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black;">
•Steer clear of items with sharp and pointed angles; rather choose smooth rounded corners to all objects, decorative pieces, flower pots and furniture.</div>
<div style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black;">
•Avoid placing a fence or large object in the middle of your yard or garden, as it will block the flow of energy and disrupt the positive chi.</div>
<div style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black;">
<b>Elements of Feng Shui in your landscaping: </b></div>
<div style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black;">
•Earth - Keep the soil fertile and the flowers, trees and grass well maintained, as this enhances the earth element. Place round stones as a border around spaces, or as appealing and calming decoration to enhance the grounding balance of the earth element. </div>
<div style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black;">
•Wood – Choose wooden planting boxes, or adorn your landscaping with decorative wooden pieces such as a carving, bench or bamboo pieces. As a lucky Feng Shui cure, bamboo is used to attract health, abundance and happiness.</div>
<div style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black;">
•Metal - Place something metal in your landscaping to encourage the properties of that important element, such as wind chimes or planters.</div>
<div style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black;">
•Water - Include still or slow flowing water such as a fountain, bird bath, pond or pooled water from a stream. It’s not encouraged to have a fast moving stream or river through your property, as this carries the positive energy away from your home, akin to “peace or abundance flying out the door”. Instead, have pooled or slower flowing water which can collect beneficial chi to stay in your yard.</div>
<div style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black;">
•Fire - For the final touches of balancing the elements, fire can be represented in various ways such as candles or lanterns, or a fire pit.</div>
<div style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black;">
You can easily create a feel-good and ambient garden patio with pillows, blankets, and outdoor music.</div>
<div style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black;">
Just a few extra touches and working with the surrounding landscape brings restorative benefits and balance to the energy flow around and through your home. You’ll feel the difference and savour your time in the yard even more. </div>Yvonne Phillipshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07402366252659290863noreply@blogger.com0
