Feng Shui For Real Estate


When showing a home that has good feng shui, buyers are more comfortable and tend to make better offers. They report feeling a strong connection to the home. Also, buyers "in the know" can be very attracted to a home that has been professionally feng shuied!


When you enter a home that has a positive flow of energy, you will have a sense of well-being and delight.


Some beautiful homes will sit for months, even after the price has been lowered, and other homes, perhaps, not so attractive will fly off the shelf.


Simple feng shui 'remedies' help adjust the energy making a home more appealing to clients.


Simple things like adding a fountain or a wind chime in precise locations can move the energy to such an extent, that the "feel" of the home actually changes for the better!




Yours in Good Feng Shui!

Feng Shui Money Tree



Many of you have asked me, "what is a Money Tree?" What is considered a Feng Shui money tree is actually a plant called Pachira. It's a beautiful plant/tree and when placed in certain positions of the home, can increase prosperity and wealth.

The shape of the plant's leafs represent the five elements of the BaGua (which is the energy map used in feng shui analysis). The five elements are: water, fire, metal, earth and wood. These leafs represent a balancing of energy in a space, and when energy is balanced, life becomes easier.

Money trees can be placed in areas of the home according to your BaGua position. For instance, a tree placed in the southeast area of your home, can draw in more wealth and abundance. Being that the southwest area of your home represents relationships, a tree placed there can solidify and heal relationships.

I always get my trees from Eastern Leaf. If you'd like to see how beautiful they are, check them out on my RESOURCES page on my website. You can order a beautiful tree right off the site and have it sent to your home!

Can feng shui help my child sleep better?


Yes!

If your child is having trouble sleeping, or maybe doesn't want to sleep in his/her own room, the first thing that I would check is the positioning of the bed. Is the foot of the bed directly facing the door to the bedroom (or the bathroom doorway)?

Try to move the bed away from this position (even a few inches) and see if that helps.

Feng Shui Tips for Your Office


The working desk should be positioned in a commanding position. This means that is can be considered as the seat of power and thus has to be placed in a strategic position with view of the door.
The desk's position should offer one the greatest possible control.

The shape of the desk is also able to have an impact on the productivity within a working environment.

The more curves a desk has, the higher the likelihood of generating creative ideas while working on it. It could also affect a person's mood, for instance a desk that is shaped in the form of a kidney normally gives inner alignment to a person.

Feng Shui and Mirrors


Mirrors in Feng Shui .....................Some schools of Feng Shui prohibit any mirrors in a bedroom. Black Hat Feng Shui teaches us that a round or oblong mirror placed on the SW wall of your bedroom can enhance marital harmony. Never place a mirror at the foot of the bed. This is a no-no in all schools of Feng Shui! Opening up spaces. Mirrors are wonderful in opening up spaces that may be small or cramped. If your entryway seems congested, first clear the clutter and then add a mirror on the wall to 'open up' the small space. Reflection of nature Using Feng Shui mirrors can also be a wonderful opportunity to pull in the wonderful aspects of nature into your space. For this to be accomplished, the placement of a mirror inside the house should be positioned so it faces the element that is desired. In this way, a beautiful lake or the ocean view can be drawn into the home to give an illusion that the natural element is inside the house.
These are some good suggestions for bringing good feng shui into your home.

Feng Shui front door tip


According to the principles of feng shui, doors represent the mouth of chi, (where energy enters ones space). The rule is to try and attract the most positive energy through the front door in order to nourish and energize your entire space.

There are various tips one can use to increase the positive energy directed at the front door as seen below. When a wall is the first thing you see upon entering your door, what will occur is a stoppage of energy into the heart of the home. Hanging a mirror to face you as you enter will allow the energy to 'pass through' without any obstacles. The front door should also be as close as possible to the living area as this will welcome visitors and support the lives of people living in that home.
