Feng Shui and the Wood Energy

PERSONAL TRANSFORMATION FOR LOW GROWTH AND MISSING PROSPERITY

 

If you experience little or no growth in your life, it could be because the growth area of your home is blocked, hindering your progress. My writing is specifically about the Wood Energy of the East and Southeast.

LACK OF GROWTH, HEALTH, ANGRY, ALCOHOLISM, FAMILY ISSUES

When you have a health problem that goes unresolved, it can drain your energy and zeal, leaving you feeling drained and lifeless. This is also true if you have emotional baggage from your family, like old scars and secrets you’ve carried around for too long, PTSD, or emotional apathy.

You may also feel that life is only moving sideways for you and you are not growing, evolving and moving forward. You may also have missed the pursuit of a life purpose or ambition.

This is the east corner domain.

This corner relates to our overall health, relationships with our family, whether positive or negative, or our ability to see our lives grow and evolve. It is also the corner most related to anger and liver diseases such as alcoholism or past trauma.

If you feel stuck in life, with little growth or improvement to your endeavours, the East Corner should be considered carefully.

Another area in which Eastern blockades show up is problems with the feet, pain in the feet or problems with walking. When you’re feeling blocked, stuck, and stagnant, you may be physically restricted from walking and literally moving forward in life.

Wood Blockages

The elements Fire and Metal are the two culprits, eroding health, leaving entrenched family problems, and fostering a life of little or no growth. This also applies if the east corner is missing or your bed is not in the command position.

There may also be a problem with physical and financial energy withdrawal, e.g. B. when a front door opens outwards instead of inwards, or when your bed is in line with a door or bathroom.

The element of death can also be present, from dried plants to dead bushes or trees in your yard, or a non-working or overly large wall clock, ashes of pets or loved ones, or memorabilia from funerals. All of these items should be removed from the home. Excessive pictures of deceased relatives should also be reduced.

Like the east, there may be a fireplace, a stove, or anything related to fire or metal that can stop your wealth and the wealth of living. You may also have dead plants or other broken or non-working items. All sources and items related to death, broken items (windows, cracked car windshield, chipped dishes, dented pans), and dead or dying plants should be removed.

Activators.

Sometimes the best activation is removing items that are blocking your health and growth. Remove all painful items from your home, especially if you have health issues that you can’t seem to get past, or family items or other memorabilia that represent loss, trauma, lies, hurt, and disappointment.

Add health-related colours such as green, blue, and brown, and items to increase your growth potential and health effects, such as: Such as a healthy plant, new landscaping, beautiful flowers, pictures of trees and nature, pictures of healthy people, exercise equipment, and more rectangular shapes.

What are you working towards? Writing a novel, better health, freedom from old tapes and family wiring? Add meaningful images and words to these areas and place them in the east corner to support your growth here.

LIFE FEEL LIKE LIVING ON A LONG LINE OF CRUMBS

Many people who earn a good income often lack wealth, savings and real financial security. This is one of the biggest pain points in life, creating a background of worry that can hamper your growth.

When your financial distress is that you have little or no financial reserves, there is always a nagging sense of insecurity or a sense that you are not a proper adult even at an advanced age that you have no resources to fall back on.

Having a salary and an income is nice and makes life possible, but assets that are set aside for emergencies, retirement, or just things you want and not the kind of money that just “pays the bills.” ‘ is the sweetest fruit.

More importantly, owning assets, investments, and savings—and putting savings and investments into regular deposits—gives you peace of mind and lets you experience life more fully and plentifully, and makes you feel richer.

But your net worth sometimes reflects your self-esteem, and when you don’t feel worthy or build your self-esteem by saving or investing for an important trip, life can feel like it’s something you have to endure without some pleasure … like sitting at the table and just eating one crumb at a time. Life may feel small, insignificant, meaningful, and like your accomplishments are just a collection of small things.

This is the area of ​​the Southeast Sector and the corner related to your wealth beyond your salary.

This is the realm of wealth that you tend, nurture and add to like a money garden that you cultivate.

That is the goal of wealth. It’s not just about getting a salary, it’s about money that you devote yourself and actively nurture. are you increasing your money Do you feel like disaster is just a layoff or late check away? Have you made financial progress in your life?

Financial deprivation can create problems with anger and insecurity, leading to anxiety and a feeling that you are not in control of your life. You may also feel that the good things in life happen to other people and not to you.

When you’re not saving for the things you want in life, it can feel like life has let you down.

In terms of health, you may have problems with your legs and hips, or you do not want to face insecurities. The liver can also be affected as resentment and anger towards life can build up, mood swings and outbursts can occur unexpectedly.

To make more money, receive more financial blessings, and see your wealth grow, you must put into it something that creates the energy that makes you feel rich in life.

That starts with making investments and putting away money that just goes in and you don’t touch.

It is persistence and the act of investing for yourself that redirects your chi toward greater abundance, rewires your mind and self-image, and helps transform chi from lack and uncertainty into growth and reward.

And that can show up anywhere in your life, from a nicer place to live, to a healthy and loving relationship, to a sense of accomplishment.

Blockages

Like the east, there may be a fireplace, a stove, or anything related to fire or metal that can stop your wealth and the wealth of living. You may also have dead plants or other broken or non-working items. All sources and items related to death, broken items (windows, cracked car windshield, chipped dishes, dented pans), and dead or dying plants should be removed.

Aactivators

Look to water-related items to help spur your energy and to grow your wealth. Adding water in the southeast corner of your home, garden, or living room in the form of a fountain, image, or figure helps promote the small wood growth that relates to abundance and prosperity. Ships, fish, and water scenes are also auspicious. Furnishings made of wicker, small rectangular shapes, green and light green colours will help stimulate growth.

Remember, that Feng Shui is also made up of your actions.

Look at ways you can accumulate money, such as starting a small investment or savings account where money goes in and never comes out, and whose only job is to grow.

Find a financial planner, a money guru, or subscribe to newsletters and online services and people who talk about investments, such Suze Orman or Dave Ramsey, or the online stock and investment service Motley Fool.

Buy some small plants to tend and grow, or plant a garden with flowers, vegetables, or herbs. Tending plants helps promote growth chi.

Have a financial goal.

Maybe it’s to save $50 a month….or $500 a month. Just have a set amount and stick to it and make it an automatic withdrawal.

In your home, add a small fleshy-leaved plant like the jade plant, or other succulents, to the southeast corner. These plants represent savings and accumulated money.

Look at ways to strengthen your hips, such as with lunges, rollerblading, or yoga.

 

 

 

Feng Shui and the 8 Prosperity Stars

THE WHITE 8 PROSPERITY STAR OF WEALTH AND SUCCESS

When your home’s chi is affected, your finances suffer. Feng Shui creates the chi of prosperity. Learn how to create an abundant and prosperous life by creating an environment that helps you improve and increase your financial prospects and income by making adjustments to your home’s Feng Shui

There are numbers in Feng Shui  that are considered the most favourable for luck and wealth. For when the numbers 1, 4, 6 or 8 (and sometimes 9) – represented by the qualities of success, promotion, achievement, love, travel and prosperity – appear in your home, either as natal, annual or monthly energy, happiness comes to you.

Let’s start with the most popular number of all, the number 8.

Associated with the north-east corner of education, wisdom and good choices, the 8-star is an earth star. Until February 2024, the number eight also relates to water and earth and therefore it can bring a lot of prosperity and success in two areas: relationships and wealth.

The 8-star value brings opportunities to create more wealth and prosperity.

Job and career success are a bonus of the 8 stars and when the yearly moves put the 8 stars on the doorstep or in the bedroom it can rain financial benefits.

It is also a godsend if your living room, bedroom or office is where the 8 stars fly.

This star brings wonderful success when this sector is brightly lit and activated with yang energy such as candles, red colours, crystals and filled with activity.

What are the 8 stars?

In 2022 the eight-pointed star will be in its native Northeast. This brings benefits through education, learning, writing, certifications, and taking exams.

In 2023, the 8-star hotel will move to the southern corner, bringing financial benefits and opportunities through networking, social connections, and friends.

Every year I write a Feng Shui  forecast and note the position of the 8 stars for each month and this information will help you make the most of the energy when it is in favourable places like your front door, your bedroom, your home office , living room or dining room.

If a lucky star falls in a kitchen, bathroom, or garage, the beneficial effects cannot be fully utilised.

How do I activate the 8 stars?

If your front door is in the direction where the 8 star for the year or month is, you should activate it with earth related and yellow items.

Adding vases in the place of the 8 star will help you “gather and store” the excellent energy here for business and personal prosperity and success.

A great way to add and collect this great wealth and energy of opportunity is with an arrangement of vases. Vases shaped like a gourd or in the shape of a figure eight are the most promising.

IMPROVEMENTS

Other activators include crystals, lighting, seashells, and items coloured red. A mystical knot or eight is another way to amplify the energies of the eight.

Pictures of stones, mountains, deserts and maps or educational institutions also help to promote the beneficial properties of the 8 star.

To give the 8 Star the most energy, try an arrangement of nine objects, as the number 9 relates to the fire element, the element that creates the earth, the element of the 8 Star.

Since this is a lucky star, make sure you spend plenty of time here and keep it brightly lit and activated.

If you have a bathroom, garage or other unfortunate space here, make sure you add something red and bright, e.g. B. A lamp with a red shade in the corner of your living room, corresponding to the position of the eighth star. In 2022, that position would be the northeast corner.

You can also activate the eight star by hanging some red artwork or pictures of birds or horses here. Red candles, red lamps or red pillows used here are nice additions that make the 8 star fire and reveal its best energies.

The other side of the golden coin

Although the eighth star is considered very auspicious, every star has a dark side, just as every afflicted energy has a positive side. For the 8 stars, the energy can be difficult for children. Most often, the difficulties involved are the potential for injury or illness in children.

Take good care of your children when they are engaged in sports activities or when their bedroom is in the area where the eight stars are guests to protect themselves from accidents or illnesses.

Feng Shui and the advantage of clutter

What brings you to a clean, organised home?

It gives you a sense of calm!

Imagine walking into a room with the ceilings cleared and no papers and clutter strewn about. What feeling does that evoke in you? That’s the AHAAAAA feeling you get when you walk into a hotel room…it’s neat and you can actually see the room and not all the stuff.

It gives you your health back!

Dirty, cluttered houses can make you tired, congested, have back pain, and be constipated. Not just because there’s stuff everywhere, but because there’s dust on all that stuff, and dust is nothing but negative energy. Unclog your home and see improvements in your health and well-being.

It gives you wealth!

Think back to the times when you were doing well financially… With money worries piling up, have you ever made the correlation that all the stuff around you has? Get rid of it and you will see the flow of finance again.

It puts you in control of your life!

Suddenly, after tidying up, there is order in the universe, you find what you are looking for, the feeling of being overwhelmed is not omnipresent and you look forward to things; life is sweet again.

What do you want from life?

Check the list below for ideas where clutter stops the flow.

LOVE – Tidy up the SOUTHWEST corner of your home, bedroom, living room and office. Clutter here can manifest itself in relationship problems or cause health problems such as a large stomach, problems with the reproductive or excretory system, or a bulging midsection.

MONEY – Tidy up the SOUTHEAST corner of your home, bedroom, living room and office. Clutter here can lead to problems with lack of savings (accumulated wealth), low returns, and trouble in the hips, legs, and knees. Start a savings program – no matter how small – to boost your energy to build your wealth.

FRIENDS, FAME, RECOGNITION – Clean up the SOUTH corner of your home, bedroom, living room and office. Clutter here can cause problems with recognition, difficulties with friends and socialising, and health issues like vision and heart problems. Lighten and brighten this area and create an open space (air feeds fire!) and watch the stress drop and the fun rise.

HEALTH, FAMILY GROWTH – Tidy up the EAST corner of your home, bedroom, living room and office. Problems lead to difficulties with family members, tension in the home, and problems with the skin, liver, and feet. Embellish with water images to nourish the wood energy of this sector and improve health and family relationships.

CAREER, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES – Tidy up the NORTH corner of your home, bedroom, living room, desk and office. Problems and clutter in this area cause kidney and ear problems. Brighten and illuminate this area and create space to improve the flow of water energy here which offers career and business opportunities.

KIDS/BABIES, CREATIVITY, PROJECTS TO FLOWER – Tidy up the WEST corner of your home, bedroom, living room and office to see projects coming to fruition. Clutter in this area causes problems with children, lungs, mouth and teeth. Add metal to this area to add movement to projects and help kids.

EDUCATION, PERSONAL GROWTH, SPIRITUALITY, WRITING – Clean up the NETHERLANDS corner of your home, bedroom, living room and office. Clutter in this area keeps you from thinking clearly and making good decisions, and keeps you anxious and insecure about your life. It also affects your hands and can cause problems like arthritis.

TRAVEL, MENTORS, HELPFUL PEOPLE – Tidy up the NORTHWEST corner of your home, bedroom, living room and office. Clutter in this area creates problems with men, the man of the house, international business and travel, and finding people to help and support you in life. Excessive clutter in this corner can cause problems with the head, such as: E.g. worries, high blood pressure and headaches. Open this space and the world will open up for you!

 

Feng Shui and Chandeliers

The 8 important things to know about Feng Shui and Chandeliers

Chandeliers enhance dining

If you’ve ever noticed Chinese guests, they often gather around the table in large groups. The chandeliers bring excellent chi into the restaurant and stimulate relationship chi with the guests. As you can see, eating and enjoying relationships with others go hand in hand in Chinese society, and chandeliers symbolise this symbiotic relationship.

The crystal’s earth energy and energising light (fire that also cooks food) are excellent enhancers in any dining room.

Chandeliers raise Chi

Without question, light is one of the most promising Feng Shui activators. It is doubled and tripled as this light is reflected in a sparkling crystal chandelier. The prisms of the chandelier crystals cast off rainbows that bring particularly wonderful chi. Crystals represent the purest and highest form of energy on earth, which is also a source of abundance.

Chandeliers as a remedy

Since chandeliers are earth energy, they are great as a remedy for issues like the stove and sink opposing each other. When this happens there is a conflict between man and woman, represented by the clash between fire and water. However, the earth energy of the chandelier can act as a mediator and settle the dispute between the two clashing energies.

Chandeliers welcome Chi

A wonderful way to draw chi into your home is by adding a chandelier. Placed in a foyer or near the front door, the beautiful energy of the illuminated crystals can draw beautiful chi energy into the entryway of your home.

Chandeliers help the lady of the house

Women are symbolised by the element of earth and “illuminated earth” like a chandelier brings wonderful happiness to the woman of the home and of marriage. It also improves the relationships and love happiness of all household members.

Chandeliers elevate bedroom energies

If your room is dark or dull, a chandelier will easily bring out the chi of the room. Be sure to hang a chandelier over the bed as it is not recommended. If so, place a canopy over the bed or use a smaller flush mount style here.

Avoid walking under large chandeliers

Because of their oppressive earth energy, it is best to use chandeliers that aren’t too big or heavy if they’re in a location where they’ll be walked on. Use a smaller chandelier if you want someone to walk underneath.

Activate critical corners

Chandeliers are wonderful anywhere in the home, but they’re especially helpful in certain corners. Use chandeliers in the west and northwest corners, where their light and earth energies benefit the children and men of the home, in the northeast and southwest where their energies foster relationships and create family harmony, and in the south, to bring wealth, success, and material bring benefits.
