CLEARING CLUTTER – MAINTENANCE

Is your car regularly serviced?

Do you replace fuses and light bulbs as soon as they blow?

Do you check your tyre pressure regularly?

Have you got a regular maintenance check you perform without fail?

Avoiding these important procedures creates intangible negative Energy that gives you an unsettled feeling without knowing the reason why.

Where is your car parked overnight?

Your car is aggressive and predatory by nature so parking it with the front towards your home is inviting negative Energy indoors.

If you have an integral garage, backing the car in will ensure it is not ‘threatening’ your home in any way.

Parked on your driveway, your car is better parked with its back to the home and not towards it.  Not only will this ensure its predatory nature will not threaten your home, it will also act as a protector.

Your car is Yang Metal and depending on its colour its nature can be enhanced still further or calmed down.

A blue or a black car is a Yin colour on a Yang vehicle and will create a calming effect.

Red and white are Yang colours and how you drive your vehicle can reflect this.

Green is a growth colour and any Earth colour is a stabilizing and solid colour.

KUA NUMBER

What is your Kua number?

Do you know your good and bad directions?

You can match your car colour to your Kua number to enhance your personal strength.

If you travel with your work you can enhance your ‘Success’ direction with your car

If you are focused on your ‘Family’ your car colour can match your ‘Love and Family’ direction

If ‘Health’ and ‘Mentors’ are important to you, your car colour can reflect this

If you are studying or improving your knowledge base in your job you can match your car colour to this

INTERIOR

Just like the inside of your home, your car benefits from a harmonious feel.

Introduce some Yin elements such as a cushion or two in the back seats.

Having something blue inside creates a calming, focused space. 

Keeping bottled water with you will introduce the Water element, as well as provide a thirst quencher. 

 This is especially important when you are travelling long distances.

A crystal in your car, being the Earth element, provides grounding and stability and will help dissipate any negative Energy lurking around.

An air freshener will also invite a sweet smelling, pleasant interior.

If you travel long distances on a regular basis keeping six peacock feathers in the car will protect you and help keep your car safe when you are parked.

Birds are always positive and if you have the image of a bird in your car it will bring good omens and protect you when travelling.

The image of a Laughing Buddha on your dashboard can take away all the stress associated with travelling.

TRAVELLING

If you are travelling alone, listening to music is a harmonious accompaniment on your journey.

Remember, that the type of music, just like the colour of your car, will reflect how you drive.

If you listen to loud rap, or heavy rock music; your driving will tend to reflect that

If you listen to catchy, sing-along music you will be relaxed and happy

If you listen to slow, quieter music this could have the effect of making you sleepy

Your car is as much a part of your life as your home and your work, so the Feng Shui elements relating to your home are just as relevant in your car.

A free-flow of positive Chi Energy is important to both.

Spending a little time creating harmony is well worth it to ensure that any journey you take, short or long, is as enjoyable and relaxing as possible.

This allows you to arrive at your destination calm, focused and happy, whatever the experiences you have encountered along the way.

Feng Shui Home - Staircase Decor and Colour

In the modern practice of symbolic Feng Shui decor and colour are used extensively.  While traditional Feng Shui does not encompass these aspects of the practice, the way we decorate our homes and the colours we use are a reflection of our personalities and their effects will have an energetic influence on us and the way we live.  We will either feel good about it or uncomfortable with our choice.

The staircase is a carrier of the Qi that enters your home.  When it is auspicious you want to maximise this and enhance the quality of Qi moving up the stairs.  If there is nothing to slow it down such as when your staircase directly faces the front door,  it will move too quickly carrying Sha Qi to your upper floors.  The route upstairs is usually into your inner sanctuary; your bedroom, one of the most important rooms in Feng Shui terms.  As the room you go to, to refresh your mind, body and spirit having auspicious and meandering Qi entering will make you feel safe and secure, relaxed and ready to refresh your senses.  This is why it is better if your bedroom door does not directly face the top of the stairs, especially when you have a straight staircase.

How you feel about the route this energetic journey takes and the quality of Qi will be determined by the staircase, its location in relation to your main door, and your attitude towards it.  Displaying photographs of your loved ones, your family or your friends on the walls will give you a sense of belonging and love every time you use the staircase.

Objects, paintings, pictures and lights placed at the bottom and along the walls up the staircase will all help slow down the movement of Qi.

To carry Sheng Qi to the upper floors the use of lights and colour on the walls, such as peach, pink or yellow will create a sense of warmth and a welcoming backdrop for family photographs.

Good lighting is essential on your staircase, especially if it is in a dark location or it is narrower than normal.  A wide comfortable staircase is more auspicious for you and your family and also for the Qi.  If you feel constricted when climbing the stairs, so will the energy.  Mirrors, lights, wall covering and colour, pictures of wide open spaces will all help open up a narrow space.  

Colour will play its part in bringing balance.  Earth colours will help create stability on your staircase, useful if you have an overly wide set of stairs.  The paler fire colours of pink and peach will bring warmth to a dark staircase.  Green will give a sense of the natural world and of growth, particularly important if you have a young family.  White or off-white will open up a restricted space but will benefit from lighting to ground and control this most yang of colours.

To the fulfillment of your dreams

Bedroom Feng Shui

Your bedroom is your sanctuary and whether you are currently living alone or share your bedroom with a partner, it is the place you escape to, to refresh your body, mind and spirit.

Having your bedroom as a multi-function room is inauspicious Feng Shui.  Your bedroom is a place of rest and as such there should be more Yin than Yang elements.

Televisions, exercise equipment or even work creates too much Yang Energy.  It can result in lack of sleep, restlessness and the inability to totally relax.

It’s also important to keep the room clear of clutter, whether it is in cupboards, drawers or under the bed.

When decorating this very important room, the colours you choose will have an impact on the type of Energy you attract.

Earth element colours are always auspicious.  They are grounding colours and also Yin so are perfect for your bedroom.  Depending on the stage you are in your life, the accessories you choose will vary.  Young people or couples can introduce elements of brighter Yang into the accessories.  More mature couples benefit from darker shades to create relaxation and peace.

You will benefit from your bed having a solid headboard and being placed against a solid wall.  This provides you with support and security while you sleep.

If space allows, the best position for your bed is diagonally opposite the bedroom door.  If this means your bed is underneath a window this can create a lack of support.  If you have no other option, then at least ensure you have a heavy window covering closed at night to provide support.

A major bedroom taboo is having a mirror reflecting your bed.

This suggests inviting a third party into your relationship.  The third party can be a rival, a family member or even work.  It also creates an unsettled feeling which can prevent you from sleeping well.

What is opposite your bedroom door?  Is it a bathroom door?  Is it the staircase?  Is it another bedroom?

The best solution to these situations is to place some kind of ‘barrier’ between the two.  If you have the space, hang a six-rod hollow metal windchime.  The rods will absorb any negative Energy created and the movement of the wind chime will dissipate the Energy.

En-suite rooms are a fact of our modern life.  They do, however, cause inauspicious Energy.  If you have an en-suite door that is positioned at the side of your bed, is it possible for you to block your sight of it with a free standing screen?

If you have overhead cupboards above your head when you sleep, or a beam, this has the effect of pressing down on your head.  It can cause headaches.

A canopy over the bed or a four poster bed with a canopy is an effective way of hiding any overhead beams.
