Feng Shui CrazyMaking My World A Better One

I’ve read recently how music can balanced your living when you are using feng shui around your home.  And I have to tell you that music with my yamaha p90 certainly calms me down a lot at the end of the day or if I am stressed out.  I find the classical music works better for me than heavy and hard rock that my spouse like.  Whenever the spouse turns on his hard rock and heavy metal instead of having a calming feeling, I feel all agitated.  Of course, I didn’t say that to him for he loves that kind of music. The funny thing is when I wanted a portable piano he was all for it, in fact before my kid came along he too took some interest in learning classical music.   So if your home is chaotic or also full of problems - trying using classical music or take up some piano lessons to calm yourself and your surroundings.  It worked for me - and i feel strongly about new age and classical music.

Winter has been really mild - not much snow except for really cold wind - so the girlfriends and I are trying to decide if we should do our road trip earlier this year.  Every year, we try to head up to New York to visit a close college friend of ours.   The girlfriend just bought a 2nd hand trailer as you can see on the above picture and gotten her 5th wheel warranty - so she asked me to feng shui the 5th wheel - so that we will have a safe and awesome trip.

But we had already done the cleansing of the trailer when she bought it and put in some new curtains and washed it down with sea salt water and since she already has the warranty and road safety check - I think we are all set for our road trip.  I hope the weather keeps up and we will not have any trouble driving long haul.

With a little bit of help from Feng Shui - we can all have a great Christmas.  Now why won’t we have a great Christmas - I hear you asking?  well - with so many parties to attend - Christmas presents to buy - and also the outlaws to take care of - it can get quite stressful and messy.  And when one is stressed - we start screaming at each other and some even might curse their friends, siblings or partners.  But it doesn’t have to be this way - with a little bit of feng shui - I’m pretty sure - we can all have a great Christmas.

Colors for Christmas - bringing the Fire into your home - also needs to have some sort of balance - and by using some blue - you can balance the Fire - to bring joy to the home - and then using blue colors to bring calm to the season.

By placing your Christmas Tree at the right position of your home - you can bring in health and love in the East, Money and Abundance in the Southeast and Fame and Reputation at the South Corner.   Use candles to bring in the energy in your home.

And my favorite advise to everyone is to use essential oil to bring in fragrance to your home - to bring in the good mood and cheer in your home.  It is said that using essential oil is great for feng shui in your home.  And lastly - some poinsettias are great Christmas plants for your home this Christmas and remembering that using feng shui for healing and bringing in energy for Christmas is to bring love to the home.

My in-law’s old aunt is having a  new back surgery in about a month’s time - and they had asked if I can help look at the feng shui of her place - since she lives alone with a day nurse who will come help her in the day time after her back surgery.   I figured what the in-laws are saying is they want her to recuperate in a healthy environment and for her the heal fast.   So I went in to take a look at the house - hoping to help - of course as you all know I’m no expert in feng shui - I just practice it - and trying to make my world and life a better one each day.  So I had to read up a bit more on the back surgery and see what she will be like after and before the surgery - and then I can work a little better to make a better feng shui for her and her home.

My spouse’s grandfather just turned 100 years old during the weekend - we had a small celebration in the new retirement home he moved into.  While we were there, he was asking me to look around to see if I can feng shui his retirement home so that everyone will be healthy as long as possible and he wasn’t even joking about it too.  I did look around and saw a lot of trees and plants around the retirement home and lots of two step stools too.  I asked the caretaker there and she told me they were for the residents as they like to do their own things on their own and having the two step stools helps them to get things they need from the upper cupboards around the retirement home on their own without worrying about falling down.  I can see why they like to buy the ones with handle because it helps steady the older folks in the retirement home.

So I reported back to my spouse’s grandfather that he was in a good place - after all they do take care of their every need and even bought step stools to fit the residents and not the other way around.  I’m really happy for the spouse’s grandfather - he is going to be happy in that home.

There are more important things in life than just money - and becoming rich.  For me - health and harmony at home is very important  - and once upon a time I was taught to use incense to clear the stale air in the home - to welcome harmony into my home - by bringing in the positive chi.

One can also use incense to rid of bad energy left by guests in your home - or an irate customer.  This is what I have been trying out for a month now and I’m happy with the result - check it out yourself and you may find harmony not only at home but at work.

We are very lucky - we don’t have tornadoes in our town - but a friend who recently lost her home to a tornado - lost just about everything except for the shirt on their back.  It’s hard to live in a place where tornado can strike anytime - so she wrote and asked me how she can feng shui her environment now she is ready to rebuild her home.

First of all - I told her nothing is more important than the lives of her family - and now that she knows that she may have another tornado in the future - a storm shelter is a must before any feng shui can come in.  Of course, it would be wise to get a professional to come help you with the storm shelter and advise her on what needs to be in the storm shelter should it happen again.  Once a storm shelter is intact - then we can look at feng shuiing her environment.  I think nothing is a better investment than investing on the lives of your family.  Things can be bought again - but lives and health - no way.

Now don’t laugh now - it’s true people seek lucky auspicious invitation cards for the success of an important event or function and celebration party.  Why do you think people hire professionals to print out campaign invitation cards or a conference event.  I know my spouse received some Baseball Invitations at the office from an important client’s campaign speech to get him elected for a baseball manager or spokesperson not too long ago.  So yes - when sending out invitation cards for an event - some people also look at the feng shui aspect of it and making sure that the color and graphics are appropriate for a good and successful event.  So if you do get a special invitation the next time - think about how the invitation is designed and the color and then compare it with the usual invitation cards you have and see for yourself how good invitation cards can impact an event even if it was just a birthday party.

Yes!  if you want to be healthy !  take charge of your health - like my outlaw - who was diagnosed with thyroid and is now taking medication and treatment for it.  So when my friend asked me about feng shui for her current health condition because she is suspected to have thyroids too - I told her to check out the hypothyroid treatment austin located in Austin of course - since she is in that area - and then we can talk about feng shui.

Healthy living begins with treatment for your illness and not feng shui.  Feng shui isn’t magic - and moving some things around or sleeping in a different direction will not help treat your thyroid  but a proper treatment center can help you.  So if you have a health issue, please don’t rely on feng shui alone - you really have to see a specialist.

As I watch children going back to school and away for college a few weeks ago - I can understand why some parents have anxiety seeing their kids drive away with most of their things with them in their new found freedom and a car.  My girlfriend from here - bought some new buick lucerne custom floor mats for her son’s car because she wanted to give him the best and like all parents we want the best for our kids.   Which brings us back to feng shui for life - not only for ourselves but also for our children - especially those going away for work and school.

Feng Shui for Life is about welcoming the positive and dispelling the negative - so if you know that your kid didn’t do so well in his first year of college - it’s time to take a look at the area he studies in and the environment he is in.  Say he was in a room that is dark and has no open windows -  now how can someone do well in such an environment right?  and it’s a pretty easy rectification when it comes to that right?  And as for the car they will be zipping around the city in - well - you know what to do - have the mechanic check it out thoroughly - change oil - undercoat the car if you must - and make sure the tires are good and still has thread on them and if you feel wealthy and oblige - you can get them the lovely Buick lucerne custom floor mats  like the ones my g/f bought for her son.  In fact, after seeing the custom mat - I might get some for myself - I do like the Lloyd custom carpet floor and cargo mats.
