energy: Quantum Mechanics of Feng Shui - 12/30/17 01:00 PM
“All is energy (all physical things),” said by Cellular Biologist, Bruce H. Lipton, Ph.D, who studies quantum mechanics in America. Dr. Lipton refers to energy as “the field" and shares the entire makeup of our world and universe is sitting in "the field" of energy, which acts as a communication system that is constantly broadcasting unique vibrations to and from everything and everyone.
 
Based on his research, “the field” needs to have harmonistic residence which could be achieved or dismantled through the process of entanglement which leads to interference. Entanglement depends on the type of INTENTIONS, ACTIONS, SURROUNDINGS and PEOPLE you interact … (3 comments)

In some forms of Feng Shui its said using what you already have within your home offers a stronger emotional, psychological, energetic and physical connection. In general, it is suggested to know the history attached to that item to help indicate if that object could be beneficial within your environment.

energy: Traveling With Feng Shui - 03/16/16 03:25 AM

When we travel and stay at a hotel or a friend's home, we need to be mindful of the energy that is constantly in flux. This meaning, we are giving energy and receiving it, knowing and unknowingly.
This could also be referred to as "predecessor energy," meaning energy left behind from those who previously occupied that space physically and spiritually. When you travel, its suggested to either wear a protective emblem of your choosing and/or bring along a small traveling altar that could be placed inside the room of where you stay. 
I did this when traveling throughout North Carolina, as I stayed for a week providing Feng Shui workshops. That is a lot … (4 comments)

energy: Feng Shui and Skylights - 10/17/15 10:02 AM

Skylights are great options to allow natural light into any space. Yet, it is also important to be mindful of what happens to the energy when you have a large skylight within your home or business.
The image above is of a Chinese Restaurant in Hicksville New York. By the front entrance it has a very large and height ceiling skylight. Observing the photo, you will see they strategically placed a large sun screen and four lanterns between the skylight and ground level. This keeps the front door's energy from escaping in an upward direction. The skylight is a direct link to the outside and if not contained, the energy by the … (4 comments)

Just as with anything over a long period of time, change is required to help enhance progression and growth in keeping your life force energy and the energy of your environment fresh. So the answer is, yes. This also becomes a metaphor with areas in our life that perhaps have gone undressed. 
 
How do you know when the energy becomes stagnant or stale? 
 
You feel bored, un-motivated, you loop the same patterns of behavior, thoughts and actions. These are just some "symptoms." If that is the case, it's time to consider making some changes. One … (10 comments)

Feng Shui Video Library: What The Bleep Do We Know?
 
 It was suggested to me to check out a movie called, "What the Bleep do We Know?" Perhaps some of you have heard of it? When it first came out, theaters across the country shunned it, even Sundance for what ever reasons.
After wacthing the movie, the world that came to mind was, "timeless." What the Bleep was created about 10 years ago and still holds messages that we are just beginning to open ourselves up to in 2015. 
 
This film is part documentary, story telling and inspiring visual effects to … (1 comments)

This is a proverb from Lao Tsu who was an older contemporary of Confucius. Lao Tsu practiced Taoism which is concerned with the more spiritual level of being.
Much of what is shared falls along the lines of Feng Shui and really in general all teachings Alchemy teachings of energy and connection to self and source (how ever you wish to define that).

energy: Keeping It Real With Feng Shui-It Is Not Interior Designing - 05/21/14 06:23 AM
Keeping it real with Feng Shui is not Interior Designing
Feng Shui is not Interior Designing.
What?
That's right. More and more Feng Shui consultations are starting to recognize this as they delve deeper into practice. I applaud all those who are stepping up and talking.
Feng Shui has been marked in this light since the 80's to help introduce it to the masses. Yet now,  it's time to put that mis-conception to rest and be truthful. It's also time to honor Feng Shui and all those who have been pioneering the way.
So yes, Feng Shui incorporates principles from Interior designing but it is not Interior Designing.
