Tip of the day

Avoid Sitting Facing a Wall A desk that is placed facing a wall acts as a barrier to promotion. If you cannot move your desk, hang a picture of scenery featuring an open field to symbolize your own personal "bright hall". Or hang on image of a phoenix on the wall in front of you to symbolize being faced with many opportunities. This will help counter the negative effects of facing a wall, and will create the cause for you to change desk to one with better feng shui.

Tip of the day

Tidy Up the Clutter A cluttered desk is the surest way to dull your efficiency. Make it a point each morning to spend just 10 minutes clearing your workspace. Do not let newspapers, books and stationery mess up your space. People who say they prefer an "organized mess" have not enjoyed the joys of a tidy desk and will marvel at how efficient they can become if they work in a less cluttered manner.

Tip of the day

Place a black stone-such as onyx, tourmaline or obsidian- in your office and work area. This cure can help solidify your financial situation and provide greater security as black is colour of money in accordance with Feng Shui. Stones "hold down" money and keep it from slipping away too quickly and these black gemstones, in particular, contain subtle energies.

Tip of the day

A Four Leaf Image A Four leaf image is an ancient Irish symbol of luck. These are nothing but an image of 4 leaves placed together and given a shape of a flower. The four leaves stand for "faith, hope, love, and luck." True four-leaf clovers are rare, but luckily there are lots of ways to use them as lucky symbols. It is believed that if you hang this picture on the north wall in your office area or a longer room; it shall certainly grow your wealth and valuable assets.

GRAB A RED PEN. In red ink and on white paper, write a list of all the qualities you think your ideal mate might possess. Once he looks good on paper, place your list and an image of two peonies inside a small silver box, and place the box in the relationship area of your bedroom for 49 days. Your love life will bloom and grow faster as according to feng shui, the stronger and clearer you are in stating what you'd like to see happen in your life, the easier it is for the universe to send you your heart's desire.

Tip of the day

To amplify more wealth Keep your valuables such as a coin collection, a piggy bank, a safe, jewellery, in the far left rear corner of your bedroom, the wealth corner if possible. This amplifies or draws more wealth to you. If you cannot store your treasures there, then make your decorations look wealthy to you.

Tip of the day

In terms of feng shui, a staircase creates unsettling energy. The worst feng shui location of a staircase is in the heart/center of the home, as well as directly facing the front door. If this is what's happening in your home, you need feng shui to balance the energy.

Move your bed if it shares the same wall as a toilet. If your bed is on the same wall as the toilet-even if they are on opposite sides of the wall- your vital energy may disappear down the drain while you sleep. Move the bed to another location.

Coins - Symbols of Power & Protection

coins-symbols-of-power-and-protection-01.jpg
Coins made of standardized size and weight of a certain metallic material, stamped with identification marks or symbols, have been used throughout the ages as an easy-to-use physical item as a medium of exchange. These coins are generally issued by governments to facilitate trade within their borders. But more than just a tool for trade, coins have been used as symbols of power for the rulers in ancient times. As history has shown, once a new ruler comes into power, he would change the existing coins with new ones of his own design. Was this done with the advice of the soothsayers to further stamp his rule and longevity, or just to improve the ruler’s luck? Well, having a coin in your pocket with your king’s face on it… this will definitely remind both his subjects and foreigners about his rule.

coins-symbols-of-power-and-protection-02.pngThe Chinese have built in the symbol of the power of heaven over earth in their I-Ching coins, with the round shape representing heaven and the square shape representing earth. Central to that meaning is the name of the Emperor stamped on the coin, cementing his claim to being a divine ruler as chosen by the Gods. During the reign of the Emperor, he would also issue special authority coins stamped with symbols giving the mandate to the bearer to carry out the tasks required of him for his country and to keep him safe. This was especially the case when protective amulets were needed for men on the march to battle; they were made in the form of coins, as they were more durable than most other materials and were easy to carry around, and easily mass-produced.

In modern times, we see that most of the monarchs have given way to democracy, and the coins in circulation are used to pay homage to the great leaders of the country, and in some countries, to improve the luck of the country as a whole. One very good example well-known within feng shui circles is Singapore’s use of auspicious symbols on its bank notes and coins to lift it out of economic difficulty in the 1980’s. They placed the image of the auspicious Dragon overlooking the harbor on their SGD50 note; and they used the Pa Kua symbol on the SGD1 coin for protection.

The coins from the European Union (EU) also have some specific symbols designed into them. If you look at the coins today, mainly the Euro 1 and the Euro 2 coin, they contain many symbols, some good and some bad. First of all, as we know, each of the sovereign countries are allowed to mint their own coins, but they need to have a ring with the 12 stars representing the EU and the countries’ side of the coin has to be within the 12 stars. This represents the unity of the countries within the EU. Will this keep the EU together? Here I would like to bring your attention to the Euro 2 coin from Greece minted in 2002, with the image of Europa being kidnapped by the bull. This seems to have a bad connotation, like its wealth being kidnapped, and I do wonder if this has caused Greece’s current financial situation?

When you are on your travels, do take note of the symbols on the coins as some of them can contain protective or auspicious symbols. Find out from the locals about the meanings of the symbols on the coins, and keep the ones that have good meaning. Coins are small and easy to carry; why not have some around if they bring you good luck. So if you can’t get hold of a proper amulet, carry some coins with auspicious symbols to help keep you protected and energized. But do filter out the bad ones; try to keep as little of them as you can!!!

Remodelling Your Home Effectively Without Incurring a Small Fortune

Every so often we find the need to do a quick refurbishment on our home either to rent, sell or even add a touch of life. However, what we don’t want to get into is to go overboard and turn a small refurbishment into a total overhaul, which could cost too much time and money. So what are some sure-fire ways to change our living environment without having to incur excessive resources?
remodelling-your-home-01.jpgAssess your Situation
The first thing we will need to do is to assess the site conditions and determine what techniques would work for the space. Ask yourself a series of questions with regards to the following categories in order to identify what you need to get done.
 
  • Colours Used Cleverly
  • Lighting
  • Feature Walls
  • Furniture Type
  • Versatility

Colours Used Cleverly
When dealing with colour tones, we need to judge for ourselves whether the overall ambient feel is too warm or too cold. Usually this is matched up with the colour tones of the flooring and skirting. What we don’t want to do is get into a habit of changing the physical materials of the room, which would end up being a very costly affair. To create an instant change to a room, consider playing around with different colour mood sequences.

As a guide, avoid having one dominant colour throughout the room. For example, if you have a beige/brown tone flooring, avoid beige coloured walls, as this injects an overwhelming lethargic sensation into the space. Instead, introduce an opposite contrasting colour to balance out the colours in the room. Playing with the yin/yang colour effects allows our visual senses to delineate the space (floor, walls, ceiling) to create a more sophisticated environment. Similarly, darker tone woodworks should be counterbalanced with a lighter coloured wall to highlight the flooring effect and give definition to the room.
