Feng Shui News for Feb. 12 – ‘Extraterrestrial Visitor Day’ and ‘Extraterrestrial Culture Day’

When I saw that today is both ‘Extraterrestrial Visitor Day’ and ‘Extraterrestrial Culture Day’ I immediately thought of one of modern culture’s most famous taglines: ‘E.T. phone home.’ That thought prompts me to share this Feng Shui ‘Phone Cure.’ If you want your telephone to ring with new clients and opportunities, place your phone on a round or octagonal mirror that is sitting on a piece of red cloth the same shape and size as the mirror. Then place symbols of the twelve Chinese zodiac animals in a circular design underneath the phone. Leave the phone sitting on this ‘cure’ for at least three consecutive hours in order to recharge it with good fortune. Don’t ask for whom that bell tolls, it tolls for you!

Feng Shui Tip for February 11th – ‘Clean Out Your Computer Day’

According to Feng Shui, clutter is the enemy, and not just those musty old objects you’ve been collecting for years. Cyber clutter can be just as chaotic and damaging to the flow of good Chi, so on this ‘Clean Out Your Computer Day’ I encourage you to do just that. Clear out or answer old email before deleting or filing them away. Remove old files that are taking up space and literally clean the computer equipment itself. Lastly, position or hang a clear quartz crystal somewhere in the vicinity of the computer and see how quickly clarity and clear-headed thinking come back to rule the day.

Feng Shui Tip for February 8th – ‘Laugh and Get Rich Day’

On ‘Laugh and Get Rich Day’ it might be time to go fishing. Feng Shui says that a fish mobile or a statue of a fish signifies gold, abundance and wealth filling the house. Fish are also employed to avert mishaps and disasters. Position fish in the ‘Wealth’ area of your home or bedroom or place them in the hallway leading to your bedroom. If you go fishing in this Feng Shui manner you’ll surely find yourself laughing — all the way to the bank!

Feng Shui News for February 7th – ‘Wave All Your Fingers At Your Neighbors Day’

Today is ‘Wave All Your Fingers At Your Neighbors Day.’ But what if there’s one finger in particular that you want to wave at them because they won’t quiet down? Looks like it’s time for Neighbor Shui! If you’re having difficulties with a neighbor, this philosophy says to hang a convex mirror on the same side of the house as the annoying neighbor so that any negativity will bounce back to them. A Feng Shui bagua mirror will do the trick, as will hanging a metal wind chime with solid rods. Good fences might make good neighbors but mirrors can make even better ones. Whatever cure you put in place, remove it when the animosity or the neighbor disappears.

Feng Shui Tip for February 6th – “Digital Learning Day”

In this world of pads and apps it makes sense that we would celebrate ‘Digital Learning Day.’ But when trying to educate yourself about anything, energizing the ‘Knowledge/Cultivation’ area of your main floor or bedroom is very important. Looking into the room from the main entryway, put a bell in the upper left hand corner. Feng Shui believes bells can symbolize ideas, clarity and mental acuity. Positioned in this arena, the bell also allows you to cope with changes and be optimistic about new projects, however you choose to learn them.

Feng Shui For The Day, Feb. 5th: “First Thing In The Mornings”

Are you looking for love in all the right places, including your very own bedroom? If you’re intent on finding the perfect partner it’s important that you represent that same desire in the space that you will both eventually sleep in. It’s also important for you to remove all reminders of failed relationships and replace them with symbols that show your commitment to finding your new true love. Remember that whatever you see first thing upon awakening each day influences the energies that come your way, so put a picture of a loving couple in your line of sight. Soon enough you will roll over and see your other half. For real.

Feng Shui News for February 4th – ‘World Cancer Day’

The energy surrounding ‘World Cancer Day’ prompts me to share information from my most honorable Feng Shui teacher, Grandmaster Professor Lin Yun, and his effective adjustment for healing from this insidious disease. Master Lin Yun also shares that this treatment should only be used to augment and reinforce appropriate medical interventions that address this disease. He recommends that the patient look upon an image containing the Feng Shui ‘Six True Colors’ (white, red, yellow, green, blue and black — in that exact order) so they can then transmit this healing color sequence to all afflicted cells. This coloring outside the lines of mainstream allopathic medicine can be powerfully effective and empowering.

Daily Feng Shui News for Jan. 24 – ‘National Compliment Day’

Today’s ‘National Compliment Day’ recipe will have them eating right out of your hands, or, more appropriately, drinking a magically complimentary elixir from your kitchen. This next recipe comes from ancient Indian texts and tells how we can say or think the sweetest things, and how we can get someone else do the exact same. You need a small amount of saffron, almonds and milk. Mix sliced almonds and some of the saffron together and then boil that in milk. The lore surrounding this secret recipe says that whoever drinks this will then be blessed and think only sweet thoughts and say only sweet words. This legend continues that drinking this mixture will also allow anyone imbibing to expel their anger and forget their woes. Got milk? I hope so.

Daily Feng Shui Tip for January 13th – ‘Rubber Duckie’s Birthday’

Today is ‘Rubber Duckie’s Birthday,’ and if you want someone to think that you’re ‘the one’ and to make your own bath time much more fun, then you could use a duckie or two. Feng Shui says that a pair of mandarin ducks placed with loving intent into the ‘Romance/Relationship’ area of main floor or bedroom (or both) will quickly bring a perfect partner to you. And who doesn’t want a perfect partner to help feather their nest? If it walks like a perfect partner and talks like a perfect partner, well then it is the perfect partner! Thanks for the love, mandarin duckies — we’re awfully fond of you.
