Spring has Sprung! Are you getting ready to paint your front door? Try using the colors of Feng Shui

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?

These doors located at Phipps Conservatory in Pittsburgh have the beautiful Victorian colors represented in the entrance area.

All Feng Shui experts will tell you to look at the five elements when doing your Feng Shui. The elements are what helps you put your home or office in balance and keeps you strong and focused.

The following is each element and color that represents them:

• Fire - Red.
• Earth -Yellow.
• Water - Blue/Black.
• Metal - Gray/white.
• Wood - Brown/green

Then you have to consider the following:

1. 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.
   
   
2. 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.
   
   
3. 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.
   
   
4. 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.

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. What color is your door?

Tangerines & Oranges

Tangerines and oranges are passed out freely during Chinese New Year as the words for tangerine and orange sound like luck and wealth, respectively. And let's not forget pomelos. This large ancestor of the grapefruit signifies abundance, as the Chinese word for pomelo sounds like the word for "to have."

Feng Shui is based on an ancient philosophy and it is supported by intentions or resolutions. This is exactly what this day is about. It is locked into ancient tradition and symbolism and you too will be given the secrets to support you and your family on that day.

I trained with Grand Master Lillian Too and these are the "secrets" she shared with her students. They are fun and your children will be happy to be a part of this day. Along with the these traditions, I will be sharing what my family does on this day. I started this event when my children were very young, just to give them some fun on a dreary winter day, who would believe that I would get so immersed in this ancient tradition! You too can be a part of this day, if you are unable to attend, I will be glad to send the recording directly to your mail box.

10 Feng Shui Tips for 2010

Every little bit of shift that you make in your home or office will help assist you in your day to day living. Here are a few tips to get you started:

1. It is most desirable to have a South facing door and if you are lucky enough to have one,

use the door often to bring in the good chi energy to help you each day. Most of us come

home through our garage door, so you do need to pay attention to the front door. Open

the door every so often and check to make sure that the door bell rings and that the area

close to the door area is clean and looks good to those passing by your home.


2. If you are an urban dweller and you don't have mountains surrounding your home, rethink

those tall buildings around you-they are your mountains. They are a form of protection and

when they are close around you, especially behind your home, they hover around you and

protect you each day.


3. Actively flowing water is good Feng Shui and you need to make sure that it does not get

stagnant or it will create a negative energy around you. 2010 is a year that shows the water

element will be missing and it is most beneficial for you to add more around you.


4. Bamboo is a great plant to use in your decor. It can be used in any form and it has all of the

5 elements of Feng Shui built right into the plant.


5. A house that is located in an area where the the water and wind are in constant extreme

motion creates a yang energy. This is not the part of your home to have a bedroom or an

office. The energy shift will be detrimental to sleep or work.


6. If you build your home near a meandering stream or lake, it will benefit all of those who live

in the home. The gentle flowing energy is good for everyone.

7. If you live in the vicinity of a a church that has crosses and spires, it will impact the

neighborhood negatively. The best solution with this is to plant a tree or place a fence

facing it to block this energy. It will just shift the energy back into the church area and

not be harmful to anyone.


8. Bright objects can be an easy office cure to lift and shift the energy in a space. When you

make these small changes, you will be able to see others reacting in a positive way around

you each day.


9. Creating different sounds around you can increase energy or decrease energy. It just

depends on what is happening around you. Is it so noisy that you can't think, soften the

music. Are you falling asleep at your desk, step up the beat of the music!


10. If you would like to have wind chimes around you, listen to different types of chimes. Some

of them are deeper or softer. What kind of sound would work in your space?

I work on my house and office Feng Shui constantly to allow for the ebb and flow of my life and business. These tips will help you focus in a few areas that can get you started in the wonderful world of Feng Shui.

Color Tip

Support your wellbeing with color
Author: Diantha Harris


Color healing therapies date back centuries - to the ancient cultures of Egypt, Greece, India and others. We are rediscovering and relearning the power of these venerable modalities: that color appears to have the capacity to support healing on all levels of our being, both spirit and flesh, from heartaches to headaches.

I would be remiss if I did not add that in this country I cannot lawfully make claims that color can help us physically, so let me just say that color seems to help support our quest for wellness and is a good helper.

That said, what are some of the ways to use color?

First, always consider consulting a specialist or color therapist for your particular issues. What could seem just a headache might stem from something else, so it is important to consult a professional as well as your regular doctor.

Second, once the color has been selected, bring it into your body:

~ Use colored light therapies (available through a color therapist)
~ Wear clothing of a certain color
~ Be in a room painted a certain color
~ Eat fruits and vegetables of a certain color
~ Wear color therapy glasses
~ Use color breathing techniques
~ Use color meditation techniques
~ Use color sprays

How do you select the right color? If you do not have a color therapist near you, educate yourself about the colors that affect your situation. My website has a lot of information in the section on color sprays, and my book, Simply Color, is chockfull of information on color and how to use it.

Color is effective because it comes to us through the energy system connected to our eyes (color therapy glasses, paints, colored windows, accessories, furnishings, flowers, trees, water), our skin (clothing, color sprays), our stomach (foods we ingest) and our lungs (color breathing, color sprays).

The energy and vibration of each color goes throughout our bodies to the area where it is housed in our bodies (chakras). When we have challenges, the color is drained from our chakras and we need to replenish it. For example, when we feel ungrounded or listless, we have probably used up much of the red color in our bodies or perhaps we are naturally deficient in it. The need for red is met by wearing the color, eating red foods like raspberries, strawberries and red apples or holding a red object in our hands. If red deficient, we could also do red color breathing, wear the red or use the red therapy glasses.

Color is around us always. It is part of our everyday lives. If you can learn about how to use it effectively, you will always have a tool for healing and wellbeing at your fingertips.

Rainbow blessings to all!
