ABC’s of Fine Design

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.

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.

It is February First and that means that more people are trying to find that special someone. If your single like me it sucks being alone on Valentines day. This year I don’t have that problem. I have to be in class that night, but if your free for the evening you may want to try these tips to improve your chance of getting a date.

• Use Peonies around your home. Place them in the southwest corner of the room(s) and keep them healthy and alive, if you don’t want to use the real thing pictures will do well too.
• Make sure you don’t have to many girly items in your home. To much female yang energy will not help attract the male yin energy you want. Change pink colors to a blue or gray and get rid of lace. Pick a few things to get rid of to even out the energy in your home.

I have been having trouble getting the research done for Furniture Friday. I have started classes again and the workload is horrible. I will try to have one FF once a month. I want these articles to be informative and as accurate as I can possibly get.

So I will continue to work on it when I can. Until then I hope you enjoy the rest of the things I have to offer you.

Starting with some tips to help you earn some money.

These are new tips I have found from Lillian Too’s 168 Feng Shui Ways to Energize Your Life. I have not tried them yet, but I will be implementing them hopefully later today.

All tips should be done in the southeast corner of your room. 

1. Grow some plants in the southeast corner of your room, office and home. Start them from scratch as the more plants that grow from seed the more money you will get.
2. Paint the wall blue. This one I will not be doing, but I will be using blue pots to put my plants in.
3. Use wood in this area. Use shelving, furniture or a wooden accessory.
4. Place a red jewel in this area to help promote wealth, this can also be done in any earth corner.

Once I get these implemented I will let you know how well they work.
