The New Feng Shui Home Office
Remember those first cell phones we called ‘bricks’ for their bulky size? How about the first portable PC, laptops that were really too heavy to comfortably carry (or work with one on your lap for any length of time, for that matter). They were supposed to make our offices portable – and they did, if you are thinking large, heavy briefcase. With the portable devices like tablet PC, iPads and smart phones do we even need home offices anymore? A comfortable armchair, a …

Guided Meditation to Sense the Energy of your Front Door
This was one of the most powerful exercises I did when I was first learning feng shui. The front door can tell us so much about how we feel about our home. For one thing, all the energy for your home enters through the front door. It sets the tone and makes the first impression. So naturally, we want that first impression to be a good one. It wasn’t that I discovered something I didn’t already know when I did …

Excerpt from my latest book!
Yes I have a new book in progress; her working title is “Home Sensibilities”. Now this is going to sound completely unrelated but it actually is: here on the north Pacific coast, we are enjoying blissful weather with warm days verging on hot, and cool refreshing mornings, and it is only those early evenings (twilight at 8:00 now!) that I know that it really is the Fall. And so, by chance, this morning I was working on my chapter about late summer …

Feng Shui Ritual for Clarity
When you need to make a decision, or to get clarity on a situation in your life, doing this feng shui ritual may help. Here it is: clean the windows. Whether you use window cleaner and paper towels, or water and vinegar and old towels, cleaning the windows helps because in feng shui, windows are a metaphor for insight. They oversee the physical eyes and the ability to see clearly. So, when the windows are dirty, cracked, broken, do not open or stick, it is a metaphor for not being able …

Feng Shui, The Wood Element and Welcoming Spring
View the campanion video for this article: The Energy of Spring! The Five Element System used in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Feng Shui is richly layered. For example, did you know that each of the Five Elements are related to a season? The season for the Wood element is spring. Spring is the time of growth and movement.

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 …

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 …

Deepening our Connection to the Spirit of Water
Hello friends, I have created a new video meditation to explore how you can connect more deeply with the life-giving, renewing properties of water. In Feng Shui, the spirit of water is one of the five elements used to create balance. Having the spirit of water present creates flow in our lives: in our emotions, our vibrant and healthy careers, our passions in life. The most important aspect of water that I find is that it assists us to absorb our wisdom. Before beginning this guided …
