THE IMPORTANCE OF A GOOD DATE!

No, we are not talking about a romantic date or dinner date with friends more a positive date for:

a) making Feng Shui changes in your home or workplace

b) proposing marriage to that special someone

c) celebrating your Wedding day

d) breaking ground to build your dream home

e) moving home

f) signing a business contract

These is only a drop in the ocean compared to what date selection can be used for.  It is mainly for those events that will have a long-term effect on your life.  So why is it important to choose a particular date?  The simple answer is the quality of Qi present at a precise date and time will influence an event and people involved in the event.  To infuse the occasion, whatever it may be, with positive energy requires knowing when the energy is harmonious. 

Qi (energy) is constantly in motion.  In Feng Shui we tend to focus on the annual and monthly changes of energy but in truth this also goes down to the day and the hour and it is this that we look to when choosing a date for a specific event.

You have all experienced days when everything you turn your hand to goes right or wrong or your mood changes from positive to negative (or vice versa) for no apparent reason.  This is the impact that Qi is having on you.  Often described as 'one of those days' the energy of the day is, or is not, in harmony with you.  Did you know that your birth date will influence whether a day is positive or not? 

 

There are generic 'good' and 'bad' days and then there are those days that are good or bad for some and not for others.  When you are looking to arrange something that will impact your life for the foreseeable future it makes sense that you start on a day and at a time that will benefit you.  In 5 or 10 years time is it going to matter what the weather was like on your Wedding day or where you held that important business meeting?  It might matter more that things are not going well for you in your personal or business relationships and you cannot understand why.  Imagine that you went into partnership, whatever kind, on a day that benefitted one party and was a conflict day for another, or the day was a generic bad one - things will ultimately come to a head and disharmony will ensue.

Consider the benefits of date selection and how it can help you will ensure your adventure begins on the right footing, there is definitely more to gain than lose.

To the fulfillment of your dreams

Feng Shui and the Magic Ratio-Home and Garden

Magic Ratio in the Home

The Magic Ratio as it is known in Feng Shui or the Golden Ratio, as it is probably more commonly known in the West is said to appeal to the human psyche making shapes and living environments that conform to this 1:1.618 rectangle harmonious and auspicious.

So what has this to do with Feng Shui? 

The simple answer is that this Magic Ratio, when used in room layout creates an instant auspicious and open feel.

If you have a long narrow room, such as may be present in a traditional Victorian style property using the proportions of the Magic Ratio to lay out the space you spend most of your time in will invite a feeling of harmony and optimism.  The area will instantly appear brighter and more spacious.

Even in a small space this Ratio will open up the area making it feel more user-friendly and roomy.

Obstacles or blocks to your success will also begin to disappear inviting positive results into all your endeavours.

  

Using the Magic Ratio is your living and sleeping areas will instantly create a feeling of wellbeing.  Any space ‘left over’ can be separated with wall or floor covering, a piece of furniture, a screen; anything that will create the divide.

By measuring the length and width of a room and multiplying the results by 1.618 the answer will identify exactly what length the room should be.

For example if your living space is 18 feet wide multiply that by 1.618 and the answer = 29.124 feet.  Ideally your space should be demarcated 18 x 29.124 feet.

In an open plan living space whether a home or an apartment this Magic Ratio can be used to great effect to separate the various areas to create harmony throughout.

On a smaller scale placing a family photograph in a frame that reflects the Magic Ratio is incredibly auspicious as is the presence of a mirror with these proportions.  Dining or coffee tables, side tables,  hall tables; will also prove effective and propitious.

Magic Ratio in the Garden

Just as in your living and sleeping spaces, regardless of the size of your garden, the Magic Ratio can be used to bring a sense of space and sanctuary to your outside room.

If you are fortunate enough to have a large outdoor space you can create more than one of these Magic Ratio ‘rooms’ and use each one for a different purpose; for family and social space or for quiet and meditative space.

The Magic Ratio of 1:1.618 can be separated from other areas by planting hedges or erecting trellis with plants growing over it to provide screening and privacy.

Within the Magic Ratio you can arrange your outdoor furniture in auspicious Feng Shui configurations just as you would in your living area to invite harmony into the space.

A well-maintained garden will always invite auspicious Feng Shui and by incorporating this with the Magic Ratio you can make it into a space that will ooze Sheng Chi (auspicious energy.)  Remember, the quality of Chi that enters your home whether from the front or back will only ever be as good as the quality of your outside space.

It is both satisfying and auspicious to make the effort to attract auspicious Chi, and in addition, having effectively turned your garden into one, or many, outdoor rooms expands your living space and being as one with the natural world.

If you live in an apartment and you have a balcony, you can still use this principle and place growing plants and flowers to activate the space as well as a seating area if you have the space.  This is a very effective method of maximizing your Feng Shui in a limited space.
