Feng Shui Tip for October 4th: Improve Your Office Day

My marching orders are clear-cut on this ‘Improve Your Office Day.’ And I’m assuming that you already have all the gold standard Feng Shui at play in your office. A statue or image of an eagle flying into the office bringing bundles of cash and opportunity is office Feng Shui 101. Equally powerful is putting a symbol of water (or the real deal) in the ‘Career’ arena and something associated with fire (a lamp or light) in your ‘Fame’ area. Then there’s the ‘secret’ Shui that will give you a big jump up the ladder of success. When energizing an office you should strive to activate the auspicious good fortunes symbolized by the sacred dragon. You can invite incredible dragon magic by placing nine dragons on the east wall of your office, whether at your business or at home. Dragons with a symbolic pearl represent success, power and material gain. If you cannot find nine dragons together in an image you can use two dragons chasing the pearl. Be sure to download images of the ‘five clawed imperial dragon,’ as this is said to be the dragon of emperors. Most importantly, don’t enclose your dragon, as they need to fly free. This dragon will breathe real fire into your office and your career!

Feng Shui Tip for October 3 – ‘Balloons Around the World Day’

I’m not just being a blowhard on today’s ‘Balloons Around the World Day.’ But I want to share a ‘secret’ Feng Shui love cure that uses balloons to make dreams come true. If you’re looking for love or to further an ongoing commitment, then fill a yellow balloon with helium on any night of the full moon. Tie the balloon with nine or 18 inches of red thread, and with a red marker write your love-related wish on the outside of the balloon. One wish and on one side of the balloon only. With the same red marker sign your name and write the date on the opposite side. At sunset release that balloon to the sky and to the ‘God of Marriage Who Lives in the Moon.’ The legend states that this god will then hear your plea and send you solutions to your prayers within a year. Whether or not this balloon travels around the world, it will really rock yours, especially if that rock is worn on the third finger of the left hand!

Today’s Feng Shui for October 2 – ‘World Farm Animal Day’

You might think that pairing ‘World Farm Animal Day’ and Feng Shui might be difficult, but the two actually have a lot in common. Feng Shui started in China with farmers who found that the location of their farms often determined how they survive. Their animals also held special significance in the unfolding of this philosophy. For example, a pig is said to symbolize abundance, safety, fertility and success. During less urbanized days the intelligent pig was even considered to be man’s real best friend. Horses are said to symbolize fame while the cow and its milk producing abilities represented descendant’s luck and good fortune to those who fed it. In fact, cows were believed to be able to grant wishes and help one achieve their goals. Therefore, Feng Shui says to place an image of the pig in your ‘Wealth’ arena to increase your abundance. Or put a symbol or statue of a horse in the ‘Fame’ area to grow your recognition and rewards. Place a representation of a magical cow on or around your desk in order to turn wishes into reality. Gives new meaning to ‘Old MacDonald,’ doesn’t it?

Daily Feng Shui Tip for October 1 – ‘World Day of Bullying Prevention’

I know from past feedback that today’s tip absolutely works to push bullies to the side. So let’s spice up ‘World Day of Bullying Prevention’ by embracing an ancient technique. In certain Eastern and Oriental cultures, cinnamon is considered the ‘warm brown spice of friendship’ that also packs the power to fend off bullies. It is said that this spice bestows protection and strength while also destroying ‘enemies.’ A pinch in a pocket or a bit sprinkled inside a wallet (or anywhere else) will employ powers of protection that can conquer all kinds of fear. Now, that’s sweet!

Daily Feng Shui for Sept. 29 – ‘National Attend Your Grandchild’s Birthday’

It’s ‘National Attend Your Grandchild’s Birthday,’ and I have just the gifts that will give Grandma and Grandpa the knowledge that they’ve fully contributed in bringing their grandbaby health, happiness and prosperity. If the baby is a girl then a cherry tree should be planted in her name. This could be in the yard or anywhere else, as it carries a sweet and supportive energy. In fact, a cherry tree has energy that will strengthen all feminine energy. Within nine months of the birth of the baby girl, a cherry tree should be planted to encourage that same sweetness and support her whole life long. If the baby is a boy then a pine tree should be planted in his name. This tree of life will strengthen masculine energies and support him with potency and longevity all the rest of his life!

Feng Shui Tip for September 28 – ‘Neighbors’

‘Good fences make good neighbors’ but I say that using Feng Shui can make you an even better neighbor. But what if no matter how peaceful your home is, you still have to deal with that nasty next-door neighbor? Feng Shui says that if you live in an apartment and the problem comes from a neighbor living directly across from you, you could place one small mirror on your front door to reflect the neighbor’s negative energy right back to them. If the neighbor to your right is posing a problem, hanging a six-rod hollow wind chime on the right side of the outside of your front door will lift neighborly negativity away. If the nuisance neighbor lives on your left, position an image of a dragon or a healthy green plant on that same side. All of these cures are also applicable if you live in a house with negative neighbors. Home dwellers have the bonus of being able to use light cures to negate neighborly darkness. Light is considered an especially effective cure when attempting to stop nocturnal annoyances. Position a motion-detecting spotlight on the side of the house where the irritation comes from and shine some sense into those people. And then there’s the granddaddy of all Feng Shui bad neighbor cures. Place a large mouthed basin or half barrel of water between you and your neighbor. This water will absorb negative energies and soften relations between the two of you. Hey, stranger things have happened when using this cure. Like I said, good fences might make good neighbors, but Feng Shui helps make the bad ones go away.

Daily Feng Shui Tip for Sept. 27 – ‘World Tourism Day’

Today is ‘World Tourism Day,’ a time to learn to travel with ease while also keeping the home fires stoked. Before leaving home be sure to tie nine or 18 inches of red thread, string, yarn or ribbon on the handles of every piece of luggage. This is a kind of cosmic crutch that makes sure that your bags get to your destination. And don’t forget to download an image of the Mystic Knot. This is a mystical travel companion that keeps your energies and your trip running smoothly. If you encounter challenges in your travels, simply take out this symbol, run the hand you write with over it three times in a clockwise direction and then unravel any unexpected issues. Placing a small statue or crystal figurine of a bear in the ‘Helpful People’ area of your home while you’re away will ensure that all flows like honey on the home front while you’re away. In Feng Shui the bear symbolizes masculine energies, so he is tasked with protecting your space with strength and courage. He is also regarded as a potent charm against any break-ins or potential robbery while you’re out of town. As a bonus, keeping an image of a bear in this space is also believed to strengthen good health for the male head of household, especially if he travels a lot. Lastly, don’t forget to put some salt out in the space you will be sleeping in when you are away. Placing some salt in an open container inside your room will absorb negative vibes left behind by the previous tenant. Do any or all of these travel cures the next time you see the world or just spend a weekend away.

Daily Feng Shui Tip for Sept. 22 – ‘Elephant Appreciation Day’

No one appreciates an empowering elephant more than me, and so I dedicate today’s ‘Elephant Appreciation Day’ to each of you who brings an elephant into your living space! Elephants are considered a precious animal in Feng Shui, symbolizing fertility, strength, sagacity and wealth. When an elephant is present in the home, either through an image, statue or some other symbol, that home is blessed with ‘descendant’s luck.’ Eastern traditions tell that the elephant is one of the four animals of power and energy, along with the tiger, leopard and lion. The elephant is also one of the seven precious treasures in Buddhism. In China, the white elephant is the national emblem, while Hindu mythology shares that the entire world is supported on the back of one that stands on a tortoise. The Hindu Lord Ganesh, the deity who can help remove all challenges from our lives, actually manifests in the form of an elephant god. In Feng Shui and Mahayana Buddhism, the elephant is said to be the bearer of the ‘wish granting gem’ and we can put that info to good use right now. If you’re wishing for employment, place a statue of an elephant with a crystal on its back immediately inside the front door, facing into the space. Place a coin on the back of the elephant if your wish is for fortunes and wealth. If you’re wishing for a child, situate the elephant statue at the base of your bedroom door and place a stone on its back. Whatever your wish, this elephant really rocks!

Daily Feng Shui Tip for Sept. 21 – ‘International Day of Peace’

John Lennon once sang about today’s ‘International Day of Peace’ energies when he said ‘all we are saying is give peace a chance.’ In honor of that sentiment, today I’d like to show you how to do exactly that by sharing some essential ways of bringing sweet peace into your own life. The master teachers of old consider peace to be a cherished state of grace that brings rejuvenation to the soul. They instructed that we must be ever vigilant to practice peace because it is truly a choice as well as a state of mind. The following blend of essential oils, when inhaled or diffused around your space, will bring you to a powerful state of peace. Once you find peace those energies will ripple out to your immediate environment. First, though, you must become at peace before those energies can circulate into the world. In order to reach that peaceful state, mix a quarter cup of jojoba oil and five drops each of essential oil of chamomile, carnation, frankincense, neroli and melissa. Wear this blend as a personal perfume or pour into an atomizer bottle and spray it around your living space. Peace!

Daily Feng Shui Tip for September 20 – Sapphire

The precious gem that is most associated with the month of September is the mystical sapphire. It has long been believed that simply wearing a sapphire close to the skin (as in some form of jewelry) will bring the wearer big favor and fabulous fortune. It’s also believed that these magnanimous blessings will ward off jealousy, negative energies and envy. The star sapphire has been known in many traditions to bestow good luck and money-making opportunities. So sapphires were called by some ‘Stones of Destiny’ and were said to represent faith, hope and destiny. Holistic and alternative energy healers say that sapphires can bring great things to the wearer, especially if there is conscious intent. But at any time of year it’s an excellent idea to adorn your life with star sapphire to clear your thoughts, enhance your creativity and enchant everyone around you. Now, that’s one power-packed gem!

Feng Shui Lucky Animals

by Annie B. Bond

The ancient Chinese system of feng shui often uses small statues or images of certain lucky animals as a quick fix for energies that are out of balance in a home or office. One animal, for example, is often placed next to a cash register to increase the cash flowing in!

Find out which animals are the traditional powerful helpers to make our personal and career lives more fulfilling and successful, here:

First, find out which places in your home correspond to each of the major “guas”–like career, relationships, or wealth, for example–so you know where the lucky animal should go.

Dragon: Dragons confer power and good fortune in any gua, particularly Family/Health, unless you were born in a Dog year (since Dogs are opposite Dragons in Chinese astrology).

Three-Legged Frog: An odd-looking but charming creature, this frog is usually shown sitting on a pile of gold coins. It is especially helpful in a Wealth gua, or placed next to a cash register!

Fu Dogs: These dogs resemble stylized lions and they symbolize prestige and power. They usually come in pairs, one stationed on either side of doorways for protection.

Bat: The Chinese consider bats to be harbingers of happiness and good fortune. A pair of bats bring double happiness. (Imagine giving a pair of bats as a wedding gift!)

Crane: Cranes are symbolic of long life and wisdom.

Fish: Carp swim upstream, so they represent success and perseverance, but all fish are considered lucky for abundance and money.

Phoenix: This magical, mythical creature who rises from the ashes symbolizes peace and blessings. If you were born in a Phoenix year, it is especially lucky.

Daily Feng Shui Tip for September 19 – ‘National Women Road Warrior Day!’

Ladies, put your pedal to the mettle since it’s ‘National Women Road Warrior Day!’ But before you get behind this battle or your steering wheel be sure to follow a few tried and true Feng Shui rules for owning the road. First is to be sure that the car is clear of clutter. Another Feng Shui car cure is to hang a round and faceted clear quartz crystal with red thread from the rearview mirror. If you find this crystal distracting, keep one in the center well of the car or in the glove box. Speaking of that, Feng Shui says to keep six faux peacocks in that same space to guarantee that you not only enjoy the journey but also arrive at your destination. Lastly, a blend of ten drops each of lemon essential and peppermint oil can keep any warrior awake and alert. Okay, ladies, today’s your day. Start your engines! But not first without following a few of these Car Shui rules!

Daily Feng Shui Tip for Sept. 16 – ‘Collect Rocks Day’

On this ‘Collect Rocks Day’ I think about the symbolic golden mountain of rocks outside my front door that invites good luck and fabulous fortunes, especially where employment opportunities are concerned. According to Feng Shui, this ‘Mountain of Gold’ has several powerful variations that all entail using a small pile of golden rocks to activate energies of supreme success. All you need are some medium sized rocks, or even small boulders if your space can accommodate a ‘larger’ version of this cure. Paint the rocks a golden color and position them immediately outside the front entrance to your living space, arranging them in a mound — a symbolic ‘mountain’ of sorts. The promise is that career opportunities will come calling as troublesome work challenges or business obstacles fade away. Improvements in your life that should make it a happier and healthier place are also promised by this simple collection of rocks. You can look for the silver lining but you actively invite it with these golden and supportive rocks!

Daily Feng Shui Tip for September 12 – ‘Mallow’

According to the Feng Shui floral calendar, the plant most associated with the month of September is the perennial aromatic plant mallow, also called the marsh mallow. This herb blossoms between May and August but reaches maturity in September. Mallow is often called a ‘cure-all’ herb due to the fact that its roots and mucilage were believed to heal digestive disorders, urinary tract inflammations and infections, as well as relieving upper respiratory problems caused by the common cold. Native Americans highly recommended this herb as a poultice to alleviate pain and soreness from insect stings. The soothing effects of the marshmallow plant are generally understood in holistic circles to relieve irritated or inflamed skin. It is also used in infusions and tinctures aimed at helping to heal gastritis, ulcers and throat ailments such as laryngitis. It’s clear that there’s more to the marsh mallow than being just a confectionary delight!

Daily Feng Shui Tip for Sept. 11 – ‘Make Your Bed Day’

It’s time to get up and celebrate ‘Make Your Bed Day’ as today you will learn how to make your bed work for you! Feng Shui espouses many ways of how the favorable positioning of your bed can have a big positive influence. For example, the ‘Command Position’ is the most powerful of all bed positions in that it allows fortune to find you while you sleep. In this position the bed should sit as far from the bedroom door as possible. It should face the door but not in a way where your feet are directly across from it. The theory here is that the farther your bed is from the room’s entry door, the more control you will have over your sleeping space and your entire life. You won’t be surprised or startled easily and you’ll have time to react to events as they unfold. Speaking of unfolding, Feng Shui also maintains that sheets, blankets, quilts and comforters should always be clean and in good condition. And the bed should be made every day in order to establish order in the bedroom that will spill over into your life. Now for the secret ‘Bed Shui!’ Keep a smooth and rounded crystal ball at the foot of the bed on the side that you don’t sleep on in order to keep smooth and harmonious relationships all around you. All of these cures make for some really sweet dreams!

Daily Feng Shui Tip for Sept. 9 – ‘The Number Nine’

Today is the ninth day of the ninth month, and that means wish-fulfilling magic is in the air! In Feng Shui, the number nine represents happy and prosperous conclusions that can bring completion to certain cycles of your life. This happens before you embark on a brand new path represented by the number one. The reason that this number nine holds the highest mantle is that it is the last of the single digit numbers before the double digits. Consequently, on something called the Feng Shui ‘Magic Square’ (or Lo Shui) the number nine is always associated with transformation, recognition and rewards. But mystery surrounds this number too. The ancients buried their dead only on the ninth day. The Romans held a feast honoring their dead every ninth year and it was at the ninth hour that Jesus was said to have died. In Hebrew teachings it is said that God has descended to earth nine times. There are nine planets in the solar system and the number that symbolizes all of mankind itself is nine! It is also the number of force and energy and its purest form denotes ambition and domination over all. On this day try to do one or all three of these next exercises in order to gain the most magic you can from the mystical energies swirling all around: Knock on your front door nine times, visualizing opportunities and advantages coming through that same space. Put nine yellow roses in the center of your home and then light nine red candles in the ‘Fame’ area of your main floor in order to attract fortune and luck. Any one of these adjustments will put you in touch with the miracles surrounding this number, but enacting all three will put you in position of strength, power and fulfillment. Here’s to a day dedicated to the number nine!

Daily Feng Shui Tip for September 8

‘Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy! Our life, our sweetness, and our hope! To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve; to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn, then, most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exiles show unto us the blessed fruit of they womb, Jesus. Oh clement, oh loving, oh sweet Virgin Mary.’ It’s ‘Virgin Mary Day,’ that’s why.

Daily Feng Shui Tip for Sept. 7 – ‘Google Commemoration Day’

On ‘Google Commemoration Day’ let’s use that search engine to find and download one of the Feng Shui ‘Five Red Bats.’ This image will look like a circle with some red squiggly symbols inside of it and five red bats flying around the outside. Chinese legend has long held that when positioned properly in your living area any image of five red bats will attract the ‘Five Blessings of Feng Shui’ of wealth, health, longevity, love of virtue and a natural death. This symbol additionally represents being blessed with effortless prosperity, happiness, good fortune and a peaceful life with few problems. Or you can position those bats in your ‘Fame’ or ‘Future’ arena. A super secret Feng Shui cure says that to position this symbol so that the bats appear to be flying out of an empty vase or jar will activate the highest energies of fortune and luck found in this entire philosophy.
