Dreaming into the Future
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 moment to the next that we are actually creating change. We want to see something concrete, some dramatic change before we believe it. It is …
The Power of Style
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 created it. You may not consciously be aware of what …

Feng Shui your Bathroom
The bathroom, regardless of where it is located on the bagua map, is connected with the element of Water. There are at least two connotations for water: one is that water is connected to emotions (which we have already discussed) and the other is a connection to money: to take a bath is to take a financial loss; throwing money down the drain is to waste money. All the water pipes and drains, along with the function of the room — to cleanse, relax …
Water Element Enhancements
Traditionally, the Water Element represents our emotional states. If you think about it, there are so many metaphors in the English language that concern water and the emotions: We can have pent up emotions. The image here is that there is so much pressure from the held in emotions, they could burst at any moment. What analogy for water can we find? Water pipes burst under pressure as do dams. After a heavy rain that causes flooding, the quality and pressure of the water cannot be contained in the river …

Front Door Feng Shui
In feng shui we call the front door, the mouth of chi because all the energy of your home enters there. The front door is the threshold between the outer public world and your inner private world. All the energy of your home enters through the front door; it is the first thing you, and everyone who comes to your home notices, and it makes lasting impressions about who you are. Terah Kathryn Collins in Feng Shui Room by Room, calls …
Listen for Messages
There is a large part of feng shui that is purely action-oriented. Yet at some point we need to stop doing and listen. We need to: assess the energy take stock of what has changed know how your home or office feels Notice what is happening in your life. Are the shifts where you want them to be? Has what you set out to do when you began this process changed or stayed the same? © Deborah Redfern 2010-11. All rights …
What is Space Clearing?
Space Clearing is a technique used to change the existing energy pattern in homes or offices and bring in new energy, or intention. It seems a far-fetched idea in a lot of ways, but when I talk to people about it, they realize they are much more sensitive than they thought they were, and that they do in fact, naturally sense the energy in places. For example, if they walk into a room where there has been an argument, they can feel …
