The Value of Feng Shui Certification Part Three
Read Part One and Part Two I have studied with several teachers/mentors who are not affiliated with any organization, as a deliberate choice. I have colleagues who mention they prefer to study with different teachers/mentors and out of their training form their own unique modality. Even with the advice of mentors telling of the pitfalls of belonging to an organization, when I began the process of taking certification courses ‘credibility’ and acknowledgement as a graduate of that school seemed important. This is probably really useful for someone starting out in …
The Value of Feng Shui Certification, Part Two
Read Part One The ‘Real Deal’ Practitioner What I think of when I use the term the ‘real deal’ practitioner are those individuals who are invested heavily in experience and independent thought and study, and probably who have studied with several different teachers and traditions of feng shui. In other words, it is someone who practices feng shui first and then maybe other services secondly – not the other way around. There are exceptions: of course there are. I wouldn’t want to …

The Value of Feng Shui Certification, Part One
This is a sensitive subject to write about, especially as a feng shui teacher, but I think it is important and there are not many people talking about it. It is about the value of certifications. In my own life it has happened twice now that I have invested money in training and have become disappointed, first in aromatherapy and then in feng shui. As these two professions caught hold and became popular in North America, books and courses became widely …

Feng Shui Colour Sensibilities
Did you know climate and culture influence colour palettes? Hot climates receiving a great deal of sun can take intense and darker colours, like the intense blue of the Mediterranean. Intense and saturated colours can be quite jarring to the senses for those who live in cools climate with long winters. Personal history also plays a role in colour preferences. If a particular colour or shade is associated with a past trauma, the dislike of that colour can be internalized for many years. You can find out …

Personal Feng Shui and Loving Kindness
I was moved by this blog post I found on SoulHiker. Often I read about kindness being related to image and external beauty. Nothing wrong with that but what about kindness to your inner self? I call this Personal Feng Shui and beauty from the inside out! Read on for this excellent article. “Kindness is synonymous with giving and being open and emphatic to others around us.

This week I moved some furniture around in order to literally and symbolically create space for my next great adventure in life as a Nia® dance teacher. I wish I had a dedicated dance room but I don’t: what I have is my living room. All I did was create an extra two feet of space by moving my sofa table to a different spot in the living room, but it took me all morning and had a cascading effect: The sofa …

5 Strategies to Make your Practice Shine
Have you chosen this profession (feng shui, healing, coaching, etc.) because you didn’t want to be in ‘sales’? Well, here’s something I certainly didn’t ‘get’ right away. We are all in sales, whether we are offering a service or a product, and what we are selling is ourselves. Or to rephrase it more appealingly, we project ourselves in such a way that people have the comfort level and trust to hire us. Without putting thought and action into how project ourselves, we are …
