Well, here you have it.  California has snagged the first (as far as I know) Feng Shuied McDonalds.

I did some research a few years ago and found the following companies who used Feng Shui:  IBM,  Chase Manhattan Bank,  Coca Cola US Division,  Donald Trump:  Trump Towers,  CNN, ABC,  ATT,  IMAX … (10 comments)

Interior Designers and Feng Shui - 02/21/08 06:57 PM
Here I go...but I just had to share my experience from last weekend. 
Saturday I met a client and his Interior Designer at the office he had asked me to feng shui.  After I had gone through the building the designer arrived.  She was loaded for bear.  I explained to her that … (6 comments)

Feng Shui This---Monticello--Part Two and Done - 02/21/08 07:43 AM
Jefferson had a beautiful clock placed in the entry of Monticello.  Its chime is a Chinese gong on the roof, loud enough for field hands to hear while tending the crops.   Although the sound of metal is an excellent feng shui cure, the gong on the roof of the 5 mountain … (3 comments)

Feng Shui This---Monticello--Part One--On a Little Mountaintop called Monticello - 02/19/08 07:01 PM
Introduction
There is no more lovely place than the mountaintop at Monticello.  Even today, a walk on this mountain brings about a peace and serenity not often found in our busy  world.   I have no doubt Jefferson would love to see how large the trees have grown, and how beautifully the … (0 comments)

Feng Shui This---Part Eight--And The Moral of The Story Is... - 02/18/08 03:52 PM
Poor George.  The home he loved so dearly was a large part of his early demise.  It wasn't long afterwards that his wife, Martha, died and Mt Vernon began it's spiral into neglect.
Restoration
Mount Vernon was never successful as a private home after his death.  After falling into near ruin the estate … (5 comments)

Feng Shui This---Part Nine--Retirement - 02/18/08 03:24 PM
Sixth Period: 1784-1804
There were no outside forms that would have given support to the 6 mountain star.  A lack of mountain support would hurt the health of the family, most especially General Washington, since most of his time inside the house was spent in the study wing, either working downstairs or … (0 comments)

Feng Shui This---Part Seven--George's Additions - 02/17/08 09:38 PM
 George Washington had most of the work on Mt Vernon done while he was away from home. 
Fifth Period: 1764-1784
Between 1774 and 1778 the study, master suite, and the new dining room were added to the mansion.  Period 4 had ended in early 1764, and Period 5 had begun.
The wings were … (0 comments)

Feng Shui This---Part Six--Show Me The Chart! - 02/15/08 07:28 PM
Reading the Charts
All charts are drawn with the front of the building at the bottom of the page. The numbered stars in each chart represent different types of qi.  Written in the form of a triangle, each number has its own special attributes.  The way they interact with each other, the … (0 comments)

Feng Shui This---Part Five--Location, Location, Location - 02/15/08 07:15 PM
A spectacular view of the Potomac River greets visitors as they step out onto the portico, just like it did in Washington's day and last year, when this photo was made.
The Potomac side of the house also contains the only consistent downstairs bedroom. The quiet and personal Little Parlor is also … (1 comments)

Feng Shui This---Part Four--Which Chart For Mt Vernon? - 02/15/08 01:29 PM
Well, lets get this out of the way first; There's an airplane in the South lawn.  Apparently George also likes to fly.
Now... we need to figure out when the mansion was built.  Then we will have to decide if and when renovations were sufficient to change that date and effectively treat … (1 comments)

Feng Shui This---Part Three--Flying Stars...More Names for Qi - 02/14/08 04:14 PM
The element names represent their basic character.  How they interact is similar to the interactions of a large family.  Each has his or her own personality and specialty.
When the stars combine with each other the reactions influence those living in the home.
Nature of the Stars
•1.   White Star:  The Angel of Sheng … (3 comments)

Feng Shui This---Part Two--It's Elemental - 02/13/08 10:18 PM
The Five Element theory is another way to explain the qi in our homes and businesses. It is a way to describe the relationship between the different stars, showing how one will help or hurt the other if given a chance. 
To read the diagram, start at metal and go clockwise.  … (3 comments)

Feng Shui This---Part One--QI - 02/13/08 12:35 PM
Do you know the difference between "Real" Feng Shui and "Psuedo" Feng Shui?  Lots of folks out there haven't a clue.  I've decided to post exerpts of my book "The Feng Shui of Mt Vernon".  In it I explain what Feng Shui really is, and how we can use it.
What is Feng … (3 comments)
