If you were like me as a kid your bedroom wall would have been covered with posters and pictures.  For me it was the Bay City Rollers, Jackson Five and, of course Donny Osmond.  I guess you can work out my age now!  For others a football team, pictures of friends or family.

As kids we put stuff on our walls that we wanted to look at.  That allowed us to dream and imagine our future lives.  Our pictures inspired us.  We knew the value of an image and how it affects us on a subliminal level.  But I often wonder if we lose that as we grow up.

Perhaps we adorn our walls now for different reasons: because we’re trying to emulate somebody else, because we saw it in a magazine, because it was a present and we feel we should hang it up, because it matches the colour scheme or because the wall’s bare without ‘something’.

Wherever we go we are inundated with images, so much that we have to block a lot of it out or our brains would frazzle. However, there are two places where images can have a deep effect on us, slowly seeping their message into our subconscious and you may not even know that it’s happening.  Those places are our home and our workplace.

So let’s take a step back and think about images whether they are paintings, posters or any other artwork on display.  They all visually represent something.  It may be something that we recognise or it may be abstract where colour and shape dominate.  Whatever is represented we will have a visual/mind reaction when we look at it.  We’ll like it, not like or couldn’t really care less.

However, images have a much deeper effect on us and our choices of imagery in our homes and workplaces can be very telling.  Once we understand this effect, we can use it to our advantage to make changes in our environments and, therefore, in our lives.  This is a vital part of a Feng Shui consultation where images can exacerbate an issue and can often be used as cures.

What are you battling against?

This depicts a scene from the charge of the Light Brigade during the Battle of Balaclava in the Crimean War.  It’s a pretty rousing picture and would not look out of place in a traditional house, perhaps in a study.  But it’s a battle, it’s war, people die and there’s lots of blood.  It is far from relaxing or inspirational.

If you’re looking at this scene when you work you may find yourself battling with suppliers or fighting to get your customers to pay you.  And if you’ve got it hanging in the bedroom well, I think you can work that one out.

Is life a little choppy at the moment?

Here’s a classic example of the type of picture you find on many board room or senior managers’ walls.  Now, I don’t know about you, but if I’m dealing with any organisation I’d be concerned if I thought they were going through rough times like the boat is in this picture.

Do you really want a relationship?

This is typical of an arty, atmospheric image.  You would be amazed by people who are looking for a relationship, or can’t seem to make relationships last that have this type of imagery in their lives.  On the one hand they say they want to find somebody and settle down but their walls say ‘I want to be alone.’

Relax and take it easy

Even abstracts have similar effects.  The fluid shape and blue tones here represent water.  Water is very Yin and is about stillness, quiet and the feminine.  So it will work well in areas where relaxation takes place.

Don’t even try to relax

However, this one is the complete opposite.  The red makes it very Yang which is fiery, active and stimulating.  Also the rectangular shapes represent a rising energy so put this in a place of relaxation and it will have the opposite effect.

Are you starting to look at your walls differently now?  Any imagery you use should reflect what you want, what you aspire to.  A typical Feng Shui type picture would be a mountain because it represents stability, security and support.  However, there’s a big difference between the foothills and the top of the mountain.  So, if your mountain picture is in front of you, make sure it’s showing the view from the top, unless you really want to stay stuck kicking your heels at the bottom.

It is responsible for the success of your creative work and for the birth of babies. It can also help children. If you want to succeed in your creative expressions, discover new abilities, have a baby, bring good luck to the life of your child, or improve your relationship with your children, you should try to boost the energy of this particular sector.

To activate this sector, you can use the following objects: posters, paintings, collages, photographs, images of children, and children’s drawings; artistic materials and tools (paint, applied arts); whimsical figurines and toys; objects in white and pastel shades; round, oval, and arched objects; objects made of bronze, steel, tin, silver, gold, aluminum, copper, etc.; quotes and sayings about posterity and creativity; homemade things, and pleasant memorable things from childhood.

For permanent activation of the feng shui Creativity and Children sector, you can place a metal piggy bank in this sector, and put coins in the piggy bank every once in a while. Another good symbol to use in this sector is a bell, which will bring joy and luck every time you ring it.

The following colors are preferable for the interior of this zone: white, golden, sand and silver. Use red in small amounts. In the interior, use metal shelves, frames or vases. You can also consider placing a round table or round chairs there. Another good idea is having plants with round or spherical leafs in this area.

This is the best area for creativity, where you can gain inspiration and success. Thus, try to engage in creative work particularly in this area of your home. Here, you can set up a work zone with all the necessary tools and materials. For instance, if you are an artist ‘” you can put brushes and paint, and hang one of your successful paintings on the wall.

One school of feng shui, called the Black Hat School also recommends the use of certain affirmations, which will help you quickly reach your goals, as they will direct your thoughts. This school works with thoughts, to make them come to life. Please find some good examples of statements (affirmations) below.

‘œI express my creative abilities easily and happily. My creative ability develops freely. I am a talented and unique personality, one of a kind. My child is happy and safe. I happily support my child, helping them develop and express their abilities. I rely on my own wisdom and reveal my potential in all available ways. I am filled with sincere faith in my creative impulses and always give them the opportunity to come to life.’

You can think of any other statement that would fit your goals best, write it down and place it in the feng shui Creativity and Children sector. Prior to placing it in the sector, thoroughly read it and imagine that what’s written, is reality, and then it will come to you.

“Scientists say that energy can never be destroyed or created.”

Many energies affect our health. These energies maybe good or bad and everyone has his own defence mechanism to deal with them. Few can resist what others cant. Even in nature trees like cherry, nectarine, peach, elderberry, mistletoe, fir and oak, cats, bees, ants, insects, bacteria and parasites prosper above these energies. We humans suffer from being exposed to detrimental energies just like apple, pear, nut, beech and plum trees, currant bushes, lilacs and sun flowers; dogs, horses, cows, pigs, chickens and birds.

Things collect energy. Things reflect energy. There may be few  things we just don’t like, but we can’t “put our finger on it”. Similarly, buildings are made of possessions and people…lets say things and thoughts.  Buildings do not just keep the weather and wind away! We spend more than 90% of their lives in spaces – houses or offices or schools. We collect things and things collect and reflect energy…so where do the thoughts go? And what does it mean to keep the clutter away at all levels – mind, body and spirit?

This journey will guide us to define, nurture and enjoy our favorite spot just like our pet . The microcosm and the macrocosm will be balanced to bring all the creative energies in harmony.

A simple example – wherever your dog likes to rest is a good place for you. Cats on the other hand indicate the opposite. These are some of the stresses explained in Vaastu : that’s the name for ancient bio-physics.

Universe is an amalgamation of perfection and imperfection. Only when the imperfection keeps bringing undesired effects, humans wake up. Uncertainty opens many options. It also takes a combination of factors to manifest a serious defect. And a defect is serious when we are out of balance and can’t resist or handle it. Vaastu will suggest corrective methods and not too many compromises. There are laws of geopathic stress and the method of balancing the qualities of the five elements earth, water, fire, air and ether. These laws work at 3 levels – energetic, karmic and geometric and affect each person differently.

We will now identify and learn the scientific explanations behind them – slowly but surely!

There is no need to doubt that printer is certainly beneficial for printing documents with the best result. One of the best options of laser that available on the market today is presented by Xerox. As the brand name that has been popular for years, Xerox creates laser printer that uses xerographic printing process for printing an image onto the paper.

There are two types of laser printer which are monochrome and color laser printer. Monochrome laser printer uses only one toner in the printing process, while color laser printer uses three or four colors which are cyan, magenta, yellow and black. These colors are commonly known as CMY or CMYK. Each of these colors needs its own image so that it will take up three to four times as much memory as the monochrome printing.

If you still cannot find the idea about the work of color laser printer, the followings are going to give you some information that you can take a look. Just check out the information below to find what this printer can offer you so that you can be sure that this printer is a great investment for you.

In creating the image, the first process is to fill the imaging drum with the negative charge. Then, the charge needs to be exposed by using a laser, from the areas where the image is to be placed. When the image is exposed, it is developed to start. In the process of developing, the negative charged toner jumps onto the exposed sections of the drum. Then, the image is transferred to a piece of paper and it runs over the heated fuser drum where the toner is melted to the paper. Then, the drum is cleaned and the process can be started again.

Moreover, the printing process in most monochrome printers is done in tandem by using a small drum. While in the color laser printer, because it uses three or four toner, it cannot run in the tandem because it may cause misalignment

Some things are hard to define succinctly.  When somebody asks me what I do and I reply “I’m a Feng Shui consultant” people will understand it in a different way.  If they then ask me what it’s all about do I tell them it’s about how the environment affects their lives, or how their home fits into the landscape or how they can find love or good health or wealth

The thing is that Feng Shui is many things to many people, which is what makes it so fascinating.  However, there are some common thoughts of Feng Shui and what it is so I thought I’d start defining it by explaining what it is no

Zen is a form of Buddhism where meditation is practised to achieve enlightenment

Feng Shui can help create a calm, relaxing place in which to meditate and, an understanding of Feng Shui will help you look at the world in a different way which is very enlightening.

Minimalism strips something down to its most fundamental features.  In terms of design or placement this can be seen as having little furniture and ornamentation in our homes and work places and ‘displaying’ what we do have.

Where this suits some people, many of us prefer our environment to be expressive of our lives which often means anything but the bare essentials

Feng Shui supports this and advises on how to express your life in successful and positive ways through your decoration, ornamentation, artwork, images etc.

Three legged toads,just like four leaf clovers, are hard to find.  There’s nothing wrong with symbolising luck but Feng Shui doesn’t rely on superstition.

Feng Shui analyses the types of energy in your home or workplace and advises on how you can make the most of the good stuff.  Feng Shui believes that you find positive energy.  It’s not about crossing your fingers and hoping.

Disruptive.  Being told that the best place for you to sleep in is the broom cupboard or you shouldn’t share a room with your partner is not realistic.

A Feng Shui consultant takes account of your personal situation and works with you to find realistic solutions.  A Feng Shui consultant also understands that, sometimes, subtle is best

Expensive.  Re-position the front door or your life will be doomed – and knock down this wall while you’re at it.  Who’s got the money to do that

Well, some people have but expensive renovations are not necessary.

A Feng Shui consultant can provide a range of solutions to a problem.  There are always options.

Mumbo-jumbo.  “It’s not scientific” we cry. 

Actually, there is a lot of data from studies of our environment and its effect on us: colour, lighting, noise, electromagnetic frequencies.  Before such studies we relied on anecdotal evidence and beliefs.  Who knows what we will prove ‘scientifically’ a hundred years from now.

By the way, do you believe in electricity?  Well, we don’t know how electricity actually works so that’s not scientific.  Maybe you should switch the kettle on for a cuppa and think about it.

Number of bedrooms
Transport links
Close to the school
Close to work
Has a garage
Good sized garden
Etc.

The majority of us have a checklist when we are looking for the right property and it often determines whether we even bother to get the details or go to view it.  However, many people often discard the same checklist if the house ‘feels right’.  I believe in estate agent speak it’s called ‘compromise’.

Of course the practical checklist is important but life, and being happy and healthy in your environment, is about much more than being practical.  In fact, to ensure that any house is capable of being the right home to support you and your family, you need to go beyond the practical and venture into the impractical.

Feng Shui practitioners may not like to be considered impractical but they can help you see the world in a very different way.  Their services can be used for many things including finding the right home (whether it’s a purchase or rental), deciding between two properties or even the right business or retail premises.

If you want to bring Feng Shui into your home buying process there are four additions you need to add to your practical checklist:

Predecessor Chi
Form school
Compass school
Geopathic stress

Predecessor Chi is the energy that the building or land has accumulated or inherited throughout its existence.  This could come from the inhabitants that have lived there, the people who built it, its use before it was a dwelling or the use of the land before the house was built.

Healthy Chi is fluid and vibrant but, in the same way it can have an effect on living beings so living beings can have an effect on Chi.  Any negative emotions such as fear, hate or anger can, if repeatedly experienced, clog the Chi causing it to become stagnant and heavy.  The walls of any building can literally soak this up and hold it there.

Think of walking into a church and sitting down.  In most cases it’s a calming experience.  It’s quiet and meditative.  It’s you soaking up some of the church’s collective Chi.

Think of walking into a room where two people have been arguing.  You become tense and sense the atmosphere.  Again you’re soaking up the Chi of the room.

It’s important to consider Predecessor Chi because it will have an effect on you, whether you consciously sense it or not. 

Form school is all about how the building fits into the environment and whether the environment supports it or not.  An ideal building would have an open Phoenix which brings beneficial Chi to it for nourishment.  At the back it would have a strong Mountain for support and to stop the Chi from the Phoenix escaping.  It would also have a beneficial Dragon and Tiger on either side sweeping round to the Mountain to balance the male and female aspects of the Chi.

Although Form School originated in the natural landscape, using real mountains and rivers and wide open plains, in this modern world a Feng Shui practitioner will understand the urban environment and adapt it to Form School principles.

Compass School considers both the orientation and layout of the building.  The main door of the building is considered a mouth that receives Chi and the nature of that Chi differs depending on its direction.

In addition Compass School attributes different types of Chi to different areas of the building so missing sectors (where the building blueprint is not square or rectangular) will mean that the building will be missing certain elements.  This doesn’t always translate into a problem because, as people we are all different and have different requirements.  However, circumstances change with time and any missing sectors should be considered.

Compass School also shows us the placement of auspicious areas enabling us to choose the best place for cooking, socialising and sleeping and it can guide us on colour and furnishings that will enhance good Chi and calm down not so good Chi.

Geopathic Stress is activity taking place underground that causes areas on the surface to vibrate at a level that is not beneficial to humans and a lot of animals and plants.  If you spend too long in an area of Geopathic Stress, such as sleeping or working, it will have a detrimental effect on your immune system which could lead to chronic health problems.

Feng Shui practitioners are often dowsers and will use these skills to pinpoint where Geopathic Stress may be having a detrimental effect. 

These four areas are very worthy of consideration and, if you get it right, can make the difference between buying a house and buying a home.  If all four boxes can’t be ticked, and it’s a very rare property that could, there are lots of ways to improve, cure or negate the effects.  So, what may put off potential buyers because they don’t ‘feel comfortable there’ leaves the market open for you if the building ticks everything else on your checklist.

My twelve page Feng Shui House Buyer’s Guide goes into this in a lot more detail: how to recognise good Chi and not so good Chi; what’s important and not so important, remedies and cures.  Study it careful and you will pick up a lot of tips and information that you can use in every aspect of your life.

Nothing can replace a survey by a qualified consultant to give you a unique insight of how you relate to your home or work environment. However, there are some simple things that anyone can apply to bring about improvements to their environment. Here are a few:

Make it easy for good chi to find you

Imagine a stranger visiting your house for the first time. Is it easy to get to the front door? Is the house number clear? Does the door bell or knocker work?

If you make it physically difficult for anyone to find you then good chi will have the same problem. So, mend the doorbell, clean up the house numbers (or replace them with big, bold clear ones) and clear the front path.

A generation ago women cleaned their front door steps regularly. It’s a tradition that we could update and use to our advantage.

Open your door to opportunity

Your front door is the mouth that feeds energy into your home. Does your door open properly or does it creak and stick? Do people feel welcome when they step over the threshold? Or are they happier to leave than to arrive?

The experience of our front door reflects our relationship with the outside world. If you feel distant and shut off from people, or are missing out on opportunities, have a look at your front door and hallway.

Is your hallway dark and dingy? Is it cluttered? What does it feel like when you walk into your home at the end of the day?

Making your hallway light and airy is not just dependent on its physical size. Using colour, light, artwork and minimising furniture or clutter in your hallway will open it up.

Also remember your doormat. It’s where people wipe their feet and it’s where they drop off their ‘stuff’ energetically too. So change the doormat regularly.

Focus on the centre

The centre of your home, and any room, is known as the T’ai Chi. This is the pivotal point around which chi flows and is considered of great importance in Feng Shui practise.

Always keep this area clear and clutter free.

Reflections are important

Do your mirrors work for you? Check out each mirror you have to see exactly what it reflects. Mirrors oppo-site doors, especially the front door, will bounce chi back out again so should be repositioned.

Some decorative mirrors are made up of more than one piece such as mirror tiles and bathroom cabinet doors. Be wary of mirrors that break up your reflection. A fractured image can have a fracturing effect on your energy.

What mirrors do you check your appearance in? Are they small and show only a part of you or large and visual? The way you see yourself in a mirror is the way you present yourself to the world. Use a large mirror that’s well lit and in an easy position to use. You’ll be amazed at how much it boosts your confidence.

What’s going on in your bedroom?

The bedroom is a key area of focus in Feng Shui because it represents relationships, you spend a lot of time there and you are also at your most vulnerable when you’re sleeping and need to feel secure.

Key things to consider are:

A solid headboard. This is classic Form School Feng Shui. The headboard acts as a Mountain to support your back giving a traditional sense of security.

Also part of Form School, position your bed in the middle of the wall where possible so there is space on either side. These areas represent the Tiger and Dragon, again providing a feeling of security.

If possible position your bed so you can see the door, or anybody coming through the door.

What do you see when you wake up in the morning? Is it a pleasant view through a window or an inspiring piece of artwork? Whatever you see will set the tone of the day for you.

If you begin a new relationship change your mattress for a fresh start.

Keep the area under the bed free of clutter. Do you really want to sleep on a load of junk?

Remove as many electrical items as possible. Not only are these stimulating in what should be a relaxing environment, they also emit electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs) which have been shown to be harmful to health.

Behind closed doors

The amount of water and water systems present in a bathroom can be very draining to the house’s energy and yours. Build the habit of keeping bathroom doors closed. This is especially important if you sleep in a room with an ensuite.

I have seen some houses with door-less ensuites so, if this is you, consider adding a door to close the area off. I have also seen houses with master suites that have a bath in the bedroom! I’m not even going to go there….

What is your artwork saying to you and about you?

Look at the pictures, paintings and posters that adorn your walls. What do they do for you? If what you’re looking at doesn’t inspire you, uplift you or make you smile then you shouldn’t have them on your wall.

Don’t worry about upsetting whoever gave it to you, take it down and replace it.

Another way to consider your artwork is the message it is saying to the world about you. For example, do the paintings of battles on the wall have anything to do with the constant arguing that goes on in your house?

Or, if you’re looking for a partner, do the pictures of single people really say you want to be alone? Think about it.

Clutter, clutter, clutter

Without doubt, levels of clutter are a personal choice. Few of us feel comfortable in a Zen like minimalist home and often the effort required to keep a house or room in that state is so stressful that it negates any energetic benefits.

However, clutter can quickly get out of hand so review your space regularly. If things have been lying around for a while and you’re not using them then consider storing them. After all, if you are holding onto things from the past you’ll have no room for new opportunities to come along.

And finally…

…your home is an expression of you: your desires, your opinions of both the world and yourself. So, take care in what your house is saying about you.

A recent news article featured a man who had won over £175,000 on a William Hill jackpot game.  Just ten months before he had won £95,000 on the same jackpot game.  ‘Lucky guy’ you might say but he put it down to implementing changes to his home after a Feng Shui consultation.

The purpose of this article is not to advocate gambling you understand.  The purpose of this article is to consider how Feng Shui might improve your wealth and to offer some tips to get you started.

You’ve probably seen lots of things advertised that guarantee abundance: money trees, three legged toads and pyramids are just a few.  But there’s a huge difference between hanging up a charm hoping Lady Luck will notice you as she passes by and using Feng Shui intelligently to improve your life and let abundance in.

Feng Shui works by considering the energies of your home or workplace and how they interact with you as an individual.  But it’s not just about space.  Timing is also important.  Each one of us is living our own unique cycle.  So, where you are in your life will have an effect on your interaction with your environment.

Confused?  No need to be.  Feng Shui is not complicated, just multi-faceted.  Once you know the nature of the energies around and within you, the key is to live with those energies – enhancing the good ones and minimising the not so good ones.  And a good Feng Shui consultant will be able to advise you on how to do this.

However, there are some general things that you can do to attract the good stuff:

There are two wealth areas in your home or workplace that you need to be aware of.  The first is the south east sector and the second is the top left area as viewed on a floor plan of your space with the main door at the bottom.
Clear clutter from these areas.  Clutter causes energy to stagnate which makes it thick, heavy and depressing.  What self respecting wealth would want to turn up in such a place?  Tidy things up and you make space for new energy and new opportunities.
Keep the areas light.  There are a number of ways you can do this: remove anything outside the window that is stopping the light coming in (such as overgrown trees or shrubs); clean the windows; change the curtains if necessary; if natural daylight is limited consider a permanent source of artificial light; use a light, bright colour scheme and furnishings.
To stimulate the energy in this area use a wind chime, aquarium or plants.
If using plants choose the traditional money tree/jade plant (crassula argentea) and keep it healthy.
If using an aquarium keep goldfish.  Their bright colours attract abundant energy.  Have at least three fish and, if more, keep them in multiples of three.  Keep the aquarium clean and the fish healthy.

Finally, you may be wondering what changes the guy who won the jackpots made which brings me to my final tip:

Keep the toilet seat down and the bathroom door closed.  This rule applies to bathrooms anywhere in the building but is especially important if the rooms are in the areas mentioned above.  Energy is drained very quickly in the bathroom as water is flushed or washed away and you don’t want to get rid of it before the magic has happened.
