It’s back to school and it’s time to get prepped for a new school year!
Follow these 10 Feng Shui tips for education and success for the best school year yet.
This
time of year is basically about going from mall to mall or store to store in
search of materials, a new uniform, outfits or shoes for your children to start
a fresh year. These things are obviously necessary; however, it’s not too
probable that these materials will actually
benefit your children’s success like a new room arrangement. According to
Feng Shui when a child’s room is arranged well it can really impact study habits
and thus fully, good grades and more achievements. Feng Shui is about harmony in all spaces,
it’s about creating balance. The same goes for a child’s study room, (in most
cases the bedroom) if well balanced, there will be great differences in this
school year, and we all want success for them right?
The 10 Feng Shui Guidelines for School Success.
The salt
cure is a perfect, static cure, to dispose of negative energies and replace it
with pure chi.
We recommend you give this a try! We are sure you home will
benefit greatly from it.
The salt cure is used to reverse the negative energies
caused by the negative flying stars and any other negative energy you might be
experiencing at home, or just for cleansing purposes.
The
Negative Flying Stars this cure must be used for are: #2 - #3 - #5
These stars
represent an element that is weaker than metal, this is why
a strong metal cure is needed to really subdue their negative consequences. Pay attention if these stars are located anywhere you
spend a lot of time in, for example: kitchen, living room, main entrance, or the home office.
In this case the salt cure should definitely be activated. (for more information about 2016 flying star location, visit this chart)
Pathways
Fixing and rising
the Chi leading to your entrance
In Feng Shui anything that has to do with the front
door is important. There’s a difference between an entrance with no pathway, a
straight pathway and a curvy pathway. The way a pathway is arranged, directly
affects the energy and the way it is leaded to your front door. A pathway can
also be welcoming, and not so much. And this is just something that works
subconsciously in our minds when walking up a pathway to a new neighbor’s door
for example. The path leading to the front door, speaks for itself. Imagine a
straight pathway with no plants, or dead plants, clutter or blocked by objects.
Now imagine a curvy pathway, with vegetation around it, flowers and beautiful
green grass and a tidy garden. It’s different isn't it? It reflects different
aspects of the residents of that home, the first is not welcoming, but the
other slows you down, makes you feel at home, it makes you feel comfortable. In
the second example, somehow you “feel” that you will be greeted with open arms,
right?
There is a certain language being reflected in the way
your pathway connects to your front door, and you don’t need to necessarily
know anything about its inhabitants. As we know, Feng Shui has to do with the
way energy travels and drifts. Also, we know that straight lines don’t exist in
nature, not even a tree’s trunk is fully straight, right? So a straight pathway
would mean that the energy flow is getting to your door way too strongly and it
might not be very beneficial. So the best option is to have some curves going
on when it comes to your path.
Hold on! We don’t mean you have to go outside and
start digging up what you already have; there are some simple and inexpensive
solutions to make your front yard and pathway empower and raise the Chi.
·
Connection
The front path must
connect the front door to the street, and yes, this is a must. But no worries,
if this is not already set up this way in your front yard, you can make one,
even if you don’t use it (which it would be better if you did) you must
remember that this will connect in deep symbolic levels and it is very
powerful.
You can create one by
laying some stepping stones in a curvy fashion leading to your front door. Use
any material you like. Just by visiting your local landscaping store you’ll be
able to get many ideas! Here are some:
6 Tips to Keep your
Basement in excellent Feng Shui Conditions- Easily!
Ok, so we know that basements, like garages, can be
challenging to Feng Shui (or to even begin to think about organizing). We
understand! But, once in a while, we need a challenge to keep things
interesting and to keep our home with those pure energies that we love feeling.
And, the basement is a very important part of that energy; it is almost the
foundation of it.
Here’s why:
According to certain studies, the basement represents the subconscious and
rooted feelings that are being suppressed, such as certain desires or things
you want to accomplish. It is very meaningful; this is why we have to take the
basement into account as a part of the home too! So having bad Feng Shui here, can be harmful for the rest of the home, clearly.
Now, if you
use your basement as a storage room, we suggest you follow our Feng Shui for
the Garage tips to begin the de-cluttering process more easily and take that
first step. But, if you’d like to transform the basement into a living space
(or if it is already a space you use daily, but need to improve), we’d like to
help!
Here are: 6
EASY ways to Feng Shui your Basement
5 Feng Shui Tips for an Energized Entrance
The main door is called "The Mouth of Chi" in Feng Shui, as this is how the house absorbs Chi, or Universal Energy. The amount and quality of energy is largely determined by the condition of your front door and entryway.
If the entryway is clear, open and easy to access, chi can enter in high quantity and positive quality. If the front door is hidden, dark or cluttered, chi flow can drastically reduce, symbolically starving the house and its residents of greatly needed energy.
If this is the case, then you should definitely take these easy-to-complete tips:
· If you can, paint your door with an upbeat color such as red or a color that will lift the energy if your door seems to be hidden from sight or too dark. You can also paint it with the color that belongs to the area it sits on: Click here for more info on entrance colors.
· If the above tip is not possible, then you can purchase a bright red carpet to place on the outside/inside of the door to activate the entrance. This red needs to be really red! The reddest you can find, to activate auspiciousness.
· You need to make your entrance the most visible as possible. You can place two pots of luscious plants of your choice on the sides of the entrance. You can also get a little bit more creative and create a path of stones (if possible) leading to your entrance.
· Lighting is always important in Feng Shui, especially for the entrance. Since it needs to be visible, you can install two lights on each side. A single bright one above is also OK.
· If you’d like, as a “last touch” you can add a nice water fountain running (which symbolizes flowing opportunities and positive chi) or a statue of a protective figure, such as Buddha. For him to look over your entrance and protect it at all times.
Entryway and hallways should have powerful yang energy which will play a very important role to bring good fortune into the house. Keep it bright and uncluttered all the times, fresh and healthy atmosphere are essential for good health and prevent tiredness.
I hope this article will definitely help you create a welcoming and energized Chi to be spread around your home.

Let’s
work on that Garage
Feng Shui reasons
why your cluttered garage is not working out anymore.
Usually we care more about fixing up our homes nicely, but never focus on our garages, attics or basements. This is
where we basically store memories, objects, and forgotten junk that we don’t have a
place for at home. No matter where the garage's location may be, according to Feng Shui, you must pay attention to the clutter.
When we decide to finally de-clutter these
areas, where things are left to be forgotten (it feels like some sort of
graveyard for forgotten objects) we can bring our lives back into balance once
again. Believe it or not, the energy that these objects generate are of a loss
of balance, because some of these things are always there, in our subconscious bothering
us, because every time we see them, we don’t know what to do with this or that,
we basically don’t know where to start.
So, what we’re saying here is: Take that
first step! We know it’s difficult, but finding the time to start is important.
You can start organizing and de-cluttering whenever you want to, but remember,
these forgotten items create stagnant energy, attracting unbalanced chi.
(Take note!)
**Questions I should ask myself throughout
the declutter process:
o
Do
I need it?
o
Do
I appreciate and love it?
o
Does
it uplift me?
o
Is
it useful?
o
Does
it reflect who I am today?
o
If
this is broken, will I ever fix it?
Here are some tips for you to follow to
have this process go much, much smoother!
- · So we all agree on that garages are used for the storage of cars? Great! So make it an area in which you can actually fit your cars.
- · If you find certain things that you will need daily don’t have any cabinets in there to keep them. You can get some uplifting and colorful bins and place them there, it’s handy.
- · Remove heavy objects from the ceiling, such as bikes, heavy sporting gear, etc. This created pressurized energy going down, not good.
- · Heavier boxes (of useful and beloved items) should go on the lower shelves and lighter boxes above. If you have too many boxes, then we suggest to store some things elsewhere, less is more!
- · Hang bells or wind chime in your garage area, keep them handy and reachable so you can ring them in order to store u the chi in your garage and keep stagnant energy out.
- · You can display photos of your family or simply pictures or artwork that reflect a happy and uplifting area. An area that is pleasant to walk in.
- · Keep your tools organized, get rid of the one that you never make use of and keep the others in reachable cabinets.
- · Any dangerous looking tools such as rakes or saws definitely need to be out of sight inside the cabinet
- · If you see any unsafe wires, make sure to organize or get rid of them.
- · If you need to keep trash cans in here, you can keep them by getting nice and colorful ones with fun colors that uplift the energy.
- · (Extra Tip) If you know where your garage falls into your bagua map, great! You can always decorate with symbols that activate the energy there. For example, if the garage falls into the Wealth area, then you can hang certain charms or coins from cabinet doors or the garage door as well as other items that symbolize wealth income. You can also paint a wall according to the color of the sector if you’d like to.
You see, it’s not
so hard to get rid of old clutter that you simply don’t need. You just have to
take the first step! Trust us; once you are able to get rid of all these “obstacles”
you will even feel relieved, as if a weight has been lifted from your
shoulders. We promise!

5 Areas where a Mirror
should be placed (correctly).
According to Feng Shui, mirrors can double your
wealth, health and even your happiness, but only if it is placed and reflecting
in the correct area. If it is reflecting incorrect energies, then it can do
harm. Let’s take a look at what your mirror should NOT be reflecting:
- · Clutter
- · Another Mirror
- · Dirtiness
- · Flames coming from the stove
- · The toilet seat
- · A bed
- · A door or window (or both)
Let's take a look at some possible areas where you can place a mirror and bring auspiciousness:
A mirror in the Kitchen
It is
usually best to keep mirrors out of the kitchen, especially because mirrors
symbolize water and the kitchen has a lot of the Fire element. Water destroys
the fire energy being generated here. Some consultants recommend a mirror to be
placed behind the stove, for a cook to be able to view anything happening
behind their backs. If you do not cook with your back facing a door, then there
should be no problem.
A Mirror in the bathroom
To prevent
energy from going down the drain, affix mirrors on top of the drains. This way,
the mirror prevents any energy to go down any drains. You can affix small round
mirrors above the shower drain and the sink, easily. The Feng Shui mirror cures for bathrooms are a great way to prevent the energy from leaving.
A mirror in the Bedroom
Sometimes
the reason why you’re not getting any sleep might be that mirror you have in
your bedroom. Avoid the mirror being placed next to the bed. If your mirror is
facing you when you are lying on your bed, this attracts a third person to your
relationship. (Remember, anything that a mirror reflects, it will double that.)
We
understand if you need to look at your reflection before going out. You can
easily solve this by placing your mirror inside your closet, this way, you can
close the closet door if you’re not using the mirror and no energies are bouncing
around in the bedroom.
A mirror in the living room.
This is the
best area they can be placed. If your mirror is reflecting food then this will
attract abundance and prosperity. You need to be aware of a mirror reflecting
an entrance or window, because if this is happening, energy is just escaping
outside, this is inauspicious. You can also display the mirror in a way that it
may reflect any house plants or outside fountains, which will bring
auspiciousness.
There is always a solution for everything!
With just a little bit of will power and some inspiration, you can simply move
things you already have and make the most of your Feng Shui area.
As always, if you've any questions on our
tips and tricks, feel free to chat with us or get in contact with us. We
love sharing Feng Shui with you.

Feng Shui your Aquarium in 5 Steps
Now that you’ve decided that you do want to get your
own aquarium at home for Feng Shui (or you just want to Feng Shui the one you already
own) let’s activate it! These useful tips will for sure help you out.
1.
The Lucky Number of Fish and Type
The number 9 is considered the luckiest number in Feng Shui. It is the
number of prosperity, attracting wealth for a life-time. The best types of Fish
for your aquarium are the Goldfish
or the Arowana (Dragon Fish), this
selection is much more expensive than the Goldfish. Both of these types will
suit the tank perfectly for Feng Shui.
2.
Combining the Nine Fish
The perfect combination of number and symbolism for your tank is having
8 red goldfish and 1 black fish. This symbolizes prosperous energies and
wealth. Moreover, the number 8 is the prosperity number in Feng Shui.
3.
Why one Black Fish?
The purpose of this fish is to absorb all negative energies entering the
home; it is a symbol of protection against this. It is said that if the black
fish dies for unknown reasons, it is believed that the fish died from bad luck
directed to you or any family member. Apart from the black fish, if any of the
fish die from unknown causes, then it is believed that it has died from
negativity directed to you. If this happens, make sure to remove the fish from
the tank immediately and replace it as soon as possible.
4.
You can choose your own number of fish!
If you feel that you want to symbolize different energies at home or
your office, you can do this by choosing a number of fish according to
symbolism:
One: This is equal to new beginnings, new roads to be traveled.
Three: Expansion & Evolution
Six: Luck from heavenly Guides.
Eight: Wealth in abundance, prosperity luck
Extra tip: Make sure the aquarium's placement is in the wealth area or somewhere you need to implement the water element.

Feng Shui
your Bathroom now, in just 5 Super Easy Steps.
Before we
start, you do need to know how important your bathroom and its placement actually is.
The main
energetic issue in your bathroom involves the drains, this is where chi is lost
if the drain issue is not taken care of. You can cover your drains in different
ways to prevent this, once you cover them, you can help retain energy in the
house, and in your life. The solutions we’re about to give you, will can make
your home wealthier and healthier.
1.
Where is your bathroom located?
Depending on its location, you need to enhance or subdue certain
elements, take a look:
·
Bathroom in the SouthWest (Love & Marriage area)-
Strengthen the Earth Element. Fire is also good in
this area; consider painting a small portion of the bathroom in a color that
represents fire, such as orange, purples or reds. You can also strengthen this
element by usually placing candles or by lighting scents.
·
Bathroom in the West & Northwest.
In this case you need
to strengthen the Metal element, by subduing the Water element. Consider
painting in sandy colors. Avoid blacks and blues. Do place circular figures or
mirrors.
·
Bathroom in the Wealth Area
Strengthen Wood, Water
and Earth. Paint in brown, green, blue, black, sandy or light beige. You can decorate
with simple wealth symbols. Crystals like Amethyst, quartz and others. For the
Wood element place 8 Bamboo Stalks. You can also place certain plants to energize the green.
2.
Hide all drains.
You can do this by placing a mirror above the drain to reverse the
downward effect.
You may also place lose stones such as, clear quartz or
amethyst on the drains themselves. Obviously this is a solution if you are sure
they won’t be falling inside.
3.
Hang a crystal in the Center
No matter where your bathroom is located, a faceted crystal ball in thecenter will definitely bring balance into this area.
4.
Keep the toilet seat down.
More than a step, this is a reminder. Since this is where the most
leakage of energy happens, you must keep the toilet seat down at all times.
5.
Keep the space as clean as possible
This is a Feng Shui rule you must read and hear a lot, it just simply
goes for all areas!
We hope this information is useful and that you will be able to have a great Feng Shui bathroom. As always, if you have any questions about this, or any other posts, you can always chat with us!

How to Feng Shui your Desk- Quickly!
Your desk
is much like your Bagua map. Draw your own Bagua map just like ours and start organizing
your desk according to it. By organizing, you’re not only getting rid of
clutter and old chi, but you’re also “placing” your elements in the correct
energy position. Remember, Feng Shui is the study of placement in the right
directions to generate the right energies for the right purposes, plus at work you will definitely feel differently. Great!
- Relationship Area (Far Right)- In this spot, you can place photos of family members, spouse or lovers. This is really positive in this area. Make sure to keep free of clutter.
- Wealth & Fame Area (Far Left, Far Center)- This area not only represents prosperity, it represents your self-esteem, your success and your self-empowerment, so empower it! Any element that represents your successes is great in this area. Also create motion, place a nice water fountain, representing wealth flow and running elemental energies.
- Creativity Area (Right)- Creativity is important even If your job is not necessarily to design, creativity is used at all times. When you need to resolve issues, find a new way to complete a task, etc. The color GREEN and plants will definitely boost creativity, especially bamboo plants. Green is also for concentration, so keep a small plant of your choice in this area if possible.
- Career & Self Areas (In Front)- Be it the image on your desktop or a nice “vision board” place imagery that inspires you to keep going. Inspire yourself constantly with images that represent what you most desire to accomplish.
+TIPS:
- As always, keep control of your clutter. Be careful with wires, these represent entanglement, keep them well organized!
- Your desk arrangement, just like the Bagua map, must be kept organized for the entire week for the best results.
- Get rid of that “junk drawer”. We know everyone has one. Anything that won’t serve you in the future can go.
We hope
these Feng Shui desk tips helped you organize your Feng Shui desk. These are the most
representative areas in one’s career or job. Enjoy it!
