Feng Shui

The first house we ever lived in, I had a "Feng Shui" expert come in and  do a walk through our house.  She gave me advise as to where to move furniture, paint colors, prisms placements, getting rid of dried flowers... It was very interesting and peaceful once I had made the changes she suggested.  Feng Shui, in English means "wind-water".  So, the other day I thought that maybe Marionette needed some 'balancing'.  I started searching for ideas to "Feng Shui Your Boat".  I didn't have much success!  But I did learn a few more things.  Keep things clean, organized, and NO clutter allowed!  A healthy pet is good chi ( energy ) for any place you live.  Have one red something.  Mine is a tassel from China that was a gift from my brother-in-law.  I also have several prisms.  Don't forget that your prisms should not have any cracks or chips in them. 



Here's a few tips!


Keep the kitchen well stocked with food. When we have our cupboards filled with food, we feel more abundant.


Keep brooms and mops out of sight; preferably upside down. This keeps intruders out and prevent from the family's livelihood from being swept away.


Clean out your closets and drawers. Give away, sell or throw away anything that you not longer use or no longer like.


Playing calming music like ocean waves, forest sounds or rain falling to soothe a stressful working or home environment.

Add mirrors to increase the size of a small room. You will create a feeling of more space and also endless opportunities. Remember to NOT face one while you're sleeping!

Always open your bedroom windows at least once 20 minutes a day to allow fresh chi to come in, we do this so that it allows fresh new chi from outside to come into your bedroom, if not you will be sleeping with stale chi every night. And if that happens, then how can you expect your life to bring in more good fortune to come to you? So open that window and never mind if dusts comes in! The great good fortune that you can have will far exceeds the time you take to clean off the dust. 



Now, I'm sure some of you are getting a good laugh, or an eye roll, but Feng Shui can be fun, and really, who's it going to hurt?



How great would it be to FEEL as good as this looks?
