ABC’s of Fine Design

My mom was suppose to come home from the hospital today, but they are keeping her there another day so no luck there. The good thing is today I have time to put some of my feng shui things into place. This will I hope help her once she gets home. I haven’t had time yet this week to do anything. It’s been crazy!

One tip that is suppose to bring good luck and good health is to put a dragon image next to water on the east side of your home. I may try this with an image I print off the Internet with a dragon and a waterfall. Maybe it will help. Try it your self and let me know what you find.

On three Fridays each month I give you feng shui tips to help improve the look of your home and your life. A month or so ago I decided to try to grow some plants to see if it would help me make more money. I didn’t get started until last week so I haven’t seen much happening, but the day after I planted them I got accepted to a paid blogging site that I had been waiting for over a month to get into and some problems with another site were solved and I was able to make more with them. It’s not much maybe another $50 for the month, but it’s something.

Fung shui is a great way to balance your home so that it looks good and help in problem areas of your life. This week my mother went into the hospital and she may be sick for a long time. I will be adding a few things to our home to try to help her heal faster. Below is a list of a few things I’m going to try. Try it yourself and see what happens.

Planting a peach tree in the east: We already have this, I will be heading outside later to make sure it’s healthy and growing strong.

Using the Immortals images: The eight immortals were deities who ate the fruit of immortality. Using an image of an immortal can help someone who is older be healthy. I’m going to be looking for the immortal Lan Tsai Ho.

Use wind chimes to help direct the flow of chi in your home and keep flying stars away. They are best used in the bedroom or over the front door.

Are you looking to gain back the good times you once had? When you had money and time to do things. Your job was going good and you didn’t have to worry about the mortgage? There may be a great secret that fung shui holds to help you get that back. This is not a grantee but it doesn’t hurt to try does it?

Reverse your fortune.

Start by checking out your front door. Is there a bunch of junk near it or did you add something there recently that was suppose to improve the look? Take it down and clean it up. The next area you need to look in is the corners of your home. Corners seem to be the place where we stick things we don’t really need. The problem is that when we do this we keep the good fortune that comes from these areas from being let out and able to help us.  You can have things in these areas, such as a decorative item, but make sure there is no clutter or that the items don’t block the flow of Chi.

With spring on the way many people are thinking about spring cleaning. I was just reading a blog about spring cleaning, it was for your blog, but it got me thinking about home spring cleaning.

In fung shui a clean home is a huge advantage to a not so clean home, but when you do spring cleaning you can also help make your chi even better by doing a cleaning ritual. The one I have chosen to talk about today is the use of incense. After you have cleaned your home use incense to cleans the chi. You can do this by lighting the incense and walking around the room clockwise three times. This helps to burn off the bad chi. There are two more steps to this process, check back next week for the second one.

When trying to find accessories for your home you tend to look at artwork as a main focal point. If your trying to keep your feng shui in check you want to make sure you pick the right kind of artwork. Like this landscape of a castle on a lake.

You do not want sad images that make you feel lost and confused. You also do not want scary images that will make you nervous. Try to find pictures that calm you or make you happy. These types of pictures will bring good energy into your home and leave the bad energy out.

For the inbetween Fridays of the now once a month Furniture Friday I will be having fung shui Fridays. All this will be is a short post with one or two fung shui tips for your home. I hope you enjoy!

Fung shui tip

If you have a stair case facing directly out your door you are letting out the good chi. To stop this you can place a bright light or a screen between the stairs and the door.

The stairs should also not face a toilet, a mirror or a bedroom.
