feng shui: Nature Takes Her Time and So Can We - 03/13/18 10:29 AM
"Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished." Lao Tzu
 
Some who follow me on Facebook were notified in mid-February of this year, that my beloved pup, Skylar, of 14 years passed away. How he passed, was shocking and very unexpected. 
Since that time, a 'reset' button has been pushed, forcing me to reassess my lifestyle and values. Before that time, I was flying on auto pilot; over extending and exerting myself in various realms of life. Moving forward from this experience of loss, I have made the commitment to really practice being present with all that I do (as often as I can). 
Since embracing this practice of being more present … (8 comments)

feng shui: Why Does the Octagon Shape Play Such an Important Role In Feng Shui? - 03/13/18 09:44 AM
In regard to sacred geometry when viewing the octagon, there are two shapes coming together as one; which is the circle and the square. The circle represents heaven and the square represents earth, thus unifying these two energies through an infinite connection. 
 
 
 
 
In BTB Feng Shui (Bon Buddhism), the octagon is seen as a symbol of protection to ward off negative spiritual activity. A common modern-day BTB recommendation is to hang an octagon-shaped mirror above the outside of a home’s front door that is direct across the street from a cemetery. The octagon is also seen as a vehicle for the advent … (3 comments)

feng shui: Exploring Los Angeles California: Angels Flight - 03/09/18 05:37 PM
During my visit to Los Angeles, CA I stopped off at Angels Flight®. This is a classic tourist spot to check out! "In 1901, Bunker Hill was one of the most fashionable neighborhoods in Los Angeles, and the cars, Olivet and Sinai, ferried riders up and down the steep slope between Hill and Olive Streets, adjoining the Third Street Tunnel. The beloved landmark was dismantled for “urban renewal” of the area in 1969. In the early 1990s, the Railway was refurbished and relocated a half-block south from its original location, reopening adjacent to California Plaza in 1996."

feng shui: The Interesting History of One North In Jericho NY - 03/04/18 06:51 AM
I shared a lovely meal with my family at One North Mediterranean Soul in Jericho, NY not too long ago. Approaching the restaurant, it obviously displayed a historical facade. I asked my father if he knew anything about the history? He responded, "yes, it's a preserved historical landmark through the Town of Oyster Bay and is known for being part of the Underground Railroad. It used to be called, the Maine Maid Inn." I was like WHAT! That IS amazing!!! 
 
Once we stepped inside, I was eager to learn more and asked one of the staff members if they could share additional historical insights. They told me they didn't know much … (5 comments)

feng shui: Easy To Do BTB Feng Shui Cure for Your Front Door - 02/15/18 11:59 AM
This is an oldie, but goodie. "Ringing in the Money" is a BTB Feng Shui cure. Hang a bell from the inside of your front door. This could be done for both your home and office. The intention is to help stimulate the energy flow near the front entrance and the metaphor is to "ring" in money, opportunities and provide protection. Find a bell that you personally resonate with: size, sound and look.
I found this little gem of a bell hanging from the inside door handle of an Italian sandwich shop. It's a great example. Simple, small, and has a really … (3 comments)

feng shui: Does Furniture Arrangement Matter in Feng Shui? - 02/12/18 08:15 AM
In regard to western practices of Feng Shui the answer is, yes. Why? Because the practice of Feng Shui will ADAPT itself to the lifestyle of each person and culture. Utilizing the discussion and implementation of furniture arrangement is one of the easiest first steps to establishing a strong foundation of Feng Shui.

feng shui: Honoring Martin Luther King Jr. Day 2018 - 01/15/18 07:20 AM
The civil rights movement started around the 1950's and continued through the 60's, with roots of the movement spreading back to the 19th century. Today, those actions still stands strong as it covers the entire spectrum of humanity in how we ALL choose to interact with one another. It's no secret during 2017 an uprising of groups and/or individuals who would prefer to keep America stuck in a very dated way of thinking and living openly reveled themselves.
The reality is, this world, this nation, our communities and families need find a common denominator if true AUTHENTIC change for the better is going to blossom. Thank you for your teachings Mr. King and happy … (4 comments)
