One of my great joys is teaching about the Elements: the Four Element system of the Native American and western tradition and the Five Element system of the Chinese tradition. They are not the same systems, but there are overlaps as there are with the Fire Element.
The Fire Element is about transformation. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote: “All the means of action–the shapeless masses–the materials–lie everywhere about us. What we need is the celestial fire to change the flint into the transparent crystal, bright and clear. That fire is genius.”
Today I am presenting my latest video creation: Celebrating the Celestial You with the Element of Fire. Wishing you radiance!
They have space for prayer rugs and windows facing east – but no pews or religious symbols. They are called meditation rooms, sanctuaries where families can pray for patients, and doctors can pause for spiritual refreshing.
At least three area hospitals have plans to open meditation rooms – or expand and revise what were once… Continue reading
We lived in an RV for 18 moths and there were a lot of things about it I liked (and things I didn’t), so I am always interested in small home spaces. This one was sent to me by a friend and looks very interesting! I love the green building materials they’ve used. Would’t I love to give it a feng shui makeover though!

Here in the northwest, our hearts are full with the promise of Spring. Well, more than the promise…we are almost basking in blossoms and warm breezes. In this video, I explore the meaning of the Element of Wood and the season of Spring!
In Day 5 of the Feng Shui Life Make-Over program, I wrote about the woman in my workshop who counted gratitude with a ‘clicker’. The funniest thing just happened! I received an email from a buddy who reported that she ”shared my use of the GratOodle with a group of people at a Feng Shui workshop and one of the… Continue reading
As I look around my house and see all the benefits of doing the 30 day program, I am filled with a sense of satisfaction. Things are moving forward nicely!
I have to admit the hardest part of my program has been my paper and files. I am still not finished even though I really didn’t have a lot to go through to begin with, but I knew… Continue reading
When does the future happen? Tomorrow? Next week? Next year? Sounds like a silly question but it is a dichotomy because the future is actually being created right now since we can only experience life in the present moment. We do not usually see it this way of course, because we do not have the evidence from one… Continue reading
In my work as a feng shui consultant I am always struck by the individuality and unique expression in the homes I visit. Every home is actually a work of art – regardless of whether it is a simple cottage or a grand estate, how aesthetically beautiful it is or even how austere. Each one is a story unto itself and a declaration of personal expression about the people who… Continue reading
