I never knew what Feng Shui was until I became a home inspector and found so many notes and books on Feng Shui in many of the homes that I was inspecting. It seems that the Asian culture here has a serious interest in Feng Shui.
Now, of course, I have my own personal Feng Shui expert by the name of Carole Provenzale. No, she's not mine alone. She's actually available to everyone here at ActiveRain because she's an ActiveRain member and owner of Feng Shui Long Island and New York.
Every time I go over to Carol's blog, I find that I've been practicing a little bit of Feng Shui here and there but just didn't know it. Perhaps that has something to do with who I am as a person. I don't know. While visiting Carol's blog today, I found out that "amethysts are known to have healing properties." I wonder if they have preventive properties, too, because I rarely get sick -- these past few days are an exception and worthy of a blog post all its own -- and I've had amethysts in my home for many decades, an appreciation that I got from my wise old grandmother who loved the color purple and anything that was purple.
Just before my wise old grandmother died in 2003, she gave me her amethyst bookends during my last visit with her:
If you're feeling a little under the weather, or your house just doesn't feel right, or you're just curious about Feng Shui like I was, hope on over to Carole's blog and do some reading. Also go with an open mind since so many people are afraid of something that they don't understand, too afraid to try to understand it. I'm not an expert on Feng Shui, but you just might learn some things like I have.

Russel, What a delightful surprise, thank you! no wonder you're rarely sick, crystals are mined from the earth and each is considered to have their own special properties. Amethyst is to achieve and maintain health. And some people actually DO have what we call "Intuitive Feng Shui." You just might be one :) I am always amazed when I see it in a client's home! Thanks again my friend.
It is interesting and crystals do have healing properties, I'm sure you have a good aura with all those crystals. Amethyst is a master healer for healing and peace. It particularly calms the mind and restlessness and worry.Many healers put the amethyst crystal on the forehead for meditation.
How wonderful to have one's own Feng Shui expert -- and what is wonderful about AR, is that I feel as if I have my own wide variety of experts. Truly though -- I do feel very attached to the people here -- wish I could read and know them all!
amethysts...ahhhh the color purple....not old enough to be your Grandmother...but oh the color is good for everything....eye candy, healing....it is a power color....with it, all things are possible....feel purple !
They are stunning Russel! Never knew that about amethysts. Had a Japanese doctor tape a piece of jade to my back when I had back problems a few years ago though.
Hey, Carole - How ever did you manage to get over here to be the first one to comment on a post about you? LOL
Hey, Monika - Now I'm wondering what other crystals in my home might be doing to me.
Hey, Terry - Are you talking about female Crystals or the rock kind? LOL
Hey, Alexsandra - I can certainly agree with you on that one. So many experts Playing in the Rain with us.
Hey, Sally and David - I remember my first bicycle that my wise old grandmother bought for me. It was one of those banana seat bikes that were popular in the late 1960s. The only problem was that mine was purple, not the best color for a young boy. I rode it with pride, though.
Hey, Rebecca - I'd actually have more of them if they weren't so expensive. The bigger they are, the more crystals they have, and the more peaks they have, the more expensive they are.
Hey, Larry - And if they keep me well, they are very cool indeed.
Hey, Matt - I'm wondering what diamonds do for women - LOL.
Hey, Al and Peggy - Jade, huh. Did it work? I've learned not to be opposed to anything just because I haven't heard of it before or am ignorant about it. I can always be educated.
