3 Steps to a Sustainable Prosperity Lifestyle

Is there a sustainable lifestyle that provides calm; one that reduces stress and increases prosperity? It was once thought that the only way to achieve this was to live on a mountain top, in a Zen garden or to isolate oneself from the outside world.

Today, with the use of positive thinking and the flow of positive energy created by applying Feng Shui principles to your life, you can remove energy drainers that cause you discomfort, concern and worry. By eliminating them and shifting to a flow of positive energy, everything can improve.

Feng Shui is not the placement of things but rather the flow of energy throughout your life and surroundings. It is the key to a sustainable prosperous lifestyle. Feng Shui is about eliminating negative energy then replacing it with positive energy. It uses the same energy that everything and everyone is made of; it is not religion, magic or a bandage. In fact, it is the flow of the same energy Einstein recorded in his famous formula E=mc².

Does It Matter?

Should you care, does it really matter? Yes, it matters if you want your tomorrow to be better than today, yesterday, last week or last year. If any part of your life is out of balance, and if your health, income or relationships are suffering, it matters!

Feng Shui is simply a tool that helps you create a better tomorrow, a sustainably better tomorrow, through the use of positive energy. Its principles are a guide for how to eliminate energy-draining clutter in your life and the negative energy that zaps you. Feng Shui helps you replace that negative energy with things and people that will provide you uplifting supportive and encouraging prosperity energy.

Feng Shui is no panacea or magic bullet. It is simply a tool to help you improve various aspects of your life that are not working for you, whether it’s your marriage, your family, your children, your job or your business.

Feng Shui Principles

All areas of life respond well to the use of Feng Shui principles - whether personal and intimate goals or broader ones such as financial well-being or improved relationships. Always begin in your bedroom, your sanctuary, and then move on to the kitchen, which is the heart of your home.

Principle One - Eliminate all energy-draining barriers; they create prosperity constipation in your surroundings. Start with all of your stacks, piles, mounds and boxes of stuff – if you haven’t used it in two years, it doesn’t fit or is broken, get rid of it. Countertops should be 80 percent empty in kitchens and bathrooms for a proper flow of energy. Eliminate oversized furniture or reduce clutter if you have too many furniture items; these block the flow of prosperity and well-being in all rooms. And, make sure the entrance to your home is clean, welcoming and clutter free. Maintaining clutter-free surroundings is key to sustainable prosperity entering your life.

Principle Two – Create a bedroom sanctuary to embrace rest, relaxation and regeneration. Your bedroom and the kitchen are your two most important rooms when it comes to your well-being and prosperity, so treat them as royalty. Besides being free of clutter and anything that remotely resembles work or the trials and tribulations of a given day whether a troublesome boss or yelling children, these areas must be peaceful. That means eliminating the stack of unread books, the things you’ve stashed under the bed and the electronic equipment such as computers, televisions and even workout equipment.

Next, thin out your closet and dressers. Remove clothes that either went out of style five years ago or were two sizes ago. The subconscious mind hangs onto the idea that you are unsatisfied with yourself and your weight. And, get rid of most of the family pictures; you do not need all those eyes staring at you all night long.

Through pastel colors, soft edges and relaxing music create a true sanctuary that helps you forget the woes of the world, while encouraging your body and mind to relax and revitalize itself.

Principle Three – Let there be light. Encourage nurturing prosperity energy to flow throughout your home by opening curtains so it can find its way into your life. Clean the windows so it isn’t filtered or blocked, causing stagnation. In rooms with limited outside light, add torchier lamps shooting warm soft light upward. Play soothing music. Stop watching the doom and gloom on the news and read a book, watch a humorous movie, meditate, create or just sit and reflect. Each of these creates a flow of prosperity and well-being energy so it can abound in your life.

Feng Shui is a vast subject but not difficult to grasp or utilize. Think of using it the same way you would eat a triple scoop ice cream sundae. You would eat the sundae one bite at a time, savoring it and thoroughly enjoying the process. Approach Feng Shui in the same manner to avoid becoming overwhelmed; tackle one area of your life or one room of your surroundings at a time.

By taking your time you will guarantee success with a minimum amount of inconvenience. When you are ready to have a better tomorrow, get busy and make it happen. Try these simple Feng Shui principles -- they really work.

10 Feng Shui Tips For Your Kitchen

Feng Shui has been around for thousands of years, actually over 3,000 years. Feng Shui was developed in China and is an ancient art that involves the balance of energy within a specific space. By balancing energies we can be assured of continued good health and fortune. The Chinese have felt for centuries that the wind and water mean good health and fortune. So take heed and do not design your kitchen with bad Feng Shui.

-The Kitchen is the Heart of the Home

We would all be well and good to take some Feng Shui tips for our whole home, however the kitchen is the heart of every home. We get vital nourishment from our kitchens, and many of us sit around the kitchen table to discuss important matters or just have fun. Children many times gather around the kitchen table to do their homework so Feng Shui is very important in every kitchen.

There are at least 10 tips for Feng Shui that can be utilized in this important area of the home. It is very important to keep a balance of our environment throughout the whole home and more importantly in our kitchens. When the environmental balance is right then relationships within the home will flourish. Everyone will remain in harmony, one with the other.

-Don't Steal the Energy from Your Food Sources Before they Nourish Your Body

Food staples feed our bodies every day and should be stored in a way that will offer just the right balance for these vital nutrients. Storing our food in metal is not good, because metal gives off an enormous amount of energy. A kitchen Feng Shui tip is to utilize a light colored wood for storage cabinets.

-Colors Make all the Difference

Earth tone colors within the kitchen arena are much calmer to the soul. If the homeowner can work into their kitchen colors of nature such as whites, beiges, and any number of the pastels palettes this also offers a calming effect to those within the home environment. A light colored or darker colored floor is acceptable, however a dark kitchen floor works better.

-Design Your Kitchen with Energy in Mind

Environmental substances such as water energy and heat or fire energy should be placed in opposing areas of the kitchen. Never position a stove by a door or window due to incoming drafts. Plumbing should not be constructed in different areas of the kitchen. All plumbing should be on the same wall.

-The Good and Bad of the Sun's Rays

It is a known fact to many that thermo drapes or blinds help to cut down on the glare and heat from the sun. Purchase some blinds or other window treatments in pastels that can be closed to help filter out the sun's rays when it is the hottest. This will help keep rooms at a more even temperature, thus our bodies more in balance.

-Don't Let Kitchen Clutter Drain Your Energy

Don't clutter the kitchen with a lot of decorations and knick knacks. Everything that is placed in the kitchen will draw one's energy from their body. If you need decorations in the kitchen keep them at a minimum and follow the earth tone and pastel colors.

-Fresh Air Flow is Important to the Body

Keep airs flowing in the kitchen, especially when cooking. Install a fan over the stove or somewhere in the kitchen to help decrease cooking vapors and stove fumes.

-Keep the Proper Lighting in a Kitchen

The cooks in the home need light to see what they are doing, however a low energy lighting is best, as this type of lighting save on energy cost and will not add to the heat in the kitchen.

Your house not selling? Check your feng shui!

The past few years we've heard of how housing value in the states have been slammed and how some experts are even saying that we haven't seen the worse yet.

Here in Canada however, and especially in Toronto, though we're seeing the market starting to soften a bit there's still a bit of competition going on and house values still remain fairly high. When you see a house listed with 'new price' or 'motivated seller', you know that's not a good sign.

So what do you think about a house that checks the following boxes :

- 5-minute walk away from a subway station

- 3 good sized bedrooms and 2 full baths

- family-friendly street with a school just round the corner

- very beautifully decorated considering the couple consists of an architectural engineer and an interior designer

- fully finished basement

Even in a soft market I thought this house wouldn't last on the market too long. However, it did. For months. There were apparently many times where they were close to getting an offer but something, somehow always falls through at the last minute.

Though the husband was straddling between being a skeptic and wanting to believe, the wife contacted me saying they're willing to see if a feng shui audit would help in selling the house.

First thing I realized, the compass direction inside and outside the house is not aligned. What does this tell me? I essentially need to do the internal and external feng shui based on 2 separate energetic charts. Is this common? Not before, but I can't tell you why I'm starting to see more and more of this in my practice. The mistake most schools of feng shui would make is to just treat the internal and external as a whole. If you do this you'll essentially only be 50% right. And I don't want to be 50% right and charge my client for it.

The unfortunate news for this is the external direction doesn't support the couple especially for 2012, so that needed to be remedied.

The main house was afflicted with what was directly opposite it - a tree. Though it looked harmless to the non-fengshui-eye, this is a big poison arrow pointing right at the mouth of the house. A big no-no. That needed to be remedied as well.

Floor lights were placed where they were strengthening afflictions and needed to be moved.

Their power wealth corners were actually well positioned and very easily activated, and though placing water features will violate the Direct and Indirect Spirit ( Ling Shen Zhen Shen ) they could strengthen it by other active items.

The center of the house has the dreaded 5/2 xuan kong flying star feng shui combination. And that happened to be their dining table which gets A LOT of use. When I asked if there's possibility of them to reduce usage of that area, this is where I could see I'll get some "are you kidding me?" looks. And I did. :) I know it's a lot to ask, so I said at the very least don't turn on the lights too long in that area.

But this is also the part where I advised them they will need to sell the house before the annual energy shifts next year as things will get really, really challenging in that house unless drastic measures were taken.

They asked me a very valid question: their next door neighbour has the mirror image of their layout, yet it was only on the market for a short while before being snapped up. I asked them what are the differences between the 2 units and they said mainly how their dining table is at the front where they themselves have their living room, and vice versa. I said, so if your neighbour had the living room in the center but it doesn't get as much use as the dining table ( assuming they use the basement as the family room as well ), that alone would have helped them reduce the affliction as they won't be strengthening it as much as my clients do in their house. Of course, I didn't see what else the neighbour did in their house when it sold so I acknowledge this is all theoretical.

Anyhow, the audit was done with recommendations leaning heavily on boosting up the main floor and the front door.

About 2 and a half weeks later, the house sold.

The husband feels it could be coincidence. I don't have a problem giving it that. I realize the challenge in this profession is, sometimes it IS hard to prove if it's really feng shui. We don't have insight to a parallel universe of the same house that wasn't feng shui-ed ( oh how I wish we do!!! ) to know for sure if that's the success factor here. But if the house was on the market for ( I believe ) six months and it just so happened to have sold after it got properly feng shui-ed, I'll let everyone else do the questioning and the "I wonder". I'm not here to prove my knowledge is superior. I'm just here to use feng shui and help you get closer to the results you're seeking.
