Plant a Garden Dragon and Surround Your Home with Wealth-building Energy

Kathryn Weber — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 15:46:32 +0000

Grand homes, like the Palace at Versailles in France, the Medici Estate in Florence, or Biltmore House in North Carolina are all beautiful landmarks in their own right, but they are also noted for their glorious gardens.

That’s because the architects and designers of these estates understood that what creates a magnificent estate is more than just the structure — it’s also the natural environment that surrounds the home.

When a home is surrounded by beautiful landscaping, trees, flowers, and gardens, the home’s exterior environment gives beautiful sheng chi (the highest form of energy) to the home.

A home is more beautiful, more prosperous, and more enjoyable when there is a “Garden Dragon” living there.

The Garden Dragon brings precious, vital, and growing energy to a home — and everyone who lives in it.

By their nature, homes are empty space and that makes them yin.

But having beautiful gardens around the home brings beautiful dragon energy that energizes the home for health, happiness, growth — and prosperity. But merely having trees and grass is not enough to bring a garden dragon to your home. It needs to be alive with flowers, breezes, shrubs, and flowing water.

These tips will help you to create the kind of garden that inspires happiness, good health, and fruitful abundance.

Plant good luck.

Beautiful greenery brings good luck to a home. Create a balanced landscape, making sure to plant trees on both sides of the house and at the rear. This creates supportive luck. Trees on the left side of the house help control the man’s anger and trees on the right side of the house control the woman’s.

Add balance and movement.

To entice a garden dragon to reside at your home, add plants that are different shapes, sizes, and textures. Add movement by adding curving lines to the garden with pathways and planting beds and plants of varying heights to simulate the humps of a dragon.

Lure a dragon to your garden with water.

A famous building in Hong Kong was built with a large open square in the middle so the dragon of the hill behind the building could drink from Hong Kong harbor. Beautiful story, isn’t it?

Consider adding a pond, waterfall, pool, or fountain to your landscape. The soothing water provides a beautiful sound, draws birds, and is a wealth enhancer. Water can also draw a garden dragon to your home. The dragon helps improve everything and everyone in the household – including robust health, happy family relationships, and greater wealth through career opportunities, good investments, and accumulated wealth.

Light your garden.

Lighting is a wonderful activator and helps to energize the chi of the garden and dissolve any negative energy. The lighting will help to raise the garden’s natural chi and make it more potent.

Bring your garden indoors.

One of the best ways to use your garden is to create views from your home’s windows. This brings the beautiful sheng chi into the home and gives your eyes a visual rest that is natural and beautiful. Beauty, in and of itself, is a wonderful feng shui activator. If you have windows to your garden, plan your landscape to be captured and framed by your windows.

Plant auspicious flowers, plants, and symbols.

Certain plants and flowers are more auspicious than others. Bamboo is generally regarded as an auspicious plant as are citrus trees such as lime, lemon and orange and plum, peach, and pine trees. Avoid spiny, prickly plants that can stick you. Bulb flowers are considered good luck because they represent accumulated wealth, so plant narcissus and hyacinth flowers. Old trees are also highly regarded if they are healthy. Old, rotting trees bring very bad health and wealth luck to the house.

Clutter’s Effects on Your Life — How clutter affects you and what to do about it

Kathryn Weber — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 17:24:04 +0000

Creating a healthy, energetic home or office relies on diligence. It’s much easier to let your home or office become cluttered and messy than it is to keep on top of papers, throw out old magazines, or otherwise dispose of the things that you no longer need, want, or use.

For that reason many people don’t bother with this kind of routine maintenance. And that’s how Spring Cleaning should be looked at: maintenance for your home.

Now, I’m not going to tell you what to do for your personal Spring Cleaning because only you know if you are harboring clothes in your closet from 30 years ago, or if your addiction to paper has gotten out of hand. YOU ARE THE EXPERT at your own mess. Give yourself permission to clean it up and let go of it.

Let’s go over some basics about dirty, cluttered homes versus clean and organized homes…

What does a dirty, cluttered home do to you?

It makes you feel tired. A cluttered home is a visual and psychic drain. All that stuff makes you fatigued. One of the most fatigued people I know simply can NOT throw anything away. Antiques are her specialty. Everything is a “collectible.” But that does not mean SHE has to collect it. This client is slowly letting go of her addiction to acquiring and is finding her energy is rebounding.

It makes you feel hopeless. Simply put, too much stuff is overwhelming and we can’t handle it all, so we throw our psychological hands in the air in frustration. This leads to that hopeless, it’s-all-inevitable feeling.

It makes you poor. Yep, that’s right: POOR. Ever notice those homes of the mega-wealthy? They’re a study in restraint. You notice their homes because stuff isn’t everywhere.

Time and time again, I notice the environments of people who are struggling to make ends meet, and I notice that they have an overwhelmingly HUGE baseball cap collection, some kind of collectible that’s taken over the house, or too many pets. Get rid of all but the most meaningful things. You can do it.

How does clutter hurt you? It makes you feel out of control in your life. That’s because the stuff is in control and you’re not. Put yourself in the driver’s seat of your life and take control of all THAT STUFF by donating it, throwing it away, or organizing it — and get everyone in your home in on the act.

What does a clean, organized home do for you?

It gives you a sense of calm. Imagine walking in to a room where the tops are cleared off and there are no papers and mess scattered about. How does it make you feel? That’s the AAAHHHH feeling you get when you walk into a hotel room…it’s neat and you can see the room and not all the stuff.

It gives you back your health. Dirty, cluttered houses can make you fatigued, constipated, have back pain, and congested. Not just because there’s stuff everywhere, but because there is dust on all that stuff — and dust is nothing but negative energy. Unclog your home and your health might be better to boot!

It gives you wealth. Think about the times when you were doing well financially… As money worries piled up, did you ever make the correlation that so has all the stuff around you? Get rid of it and you will see financial flow again.

It puts you in control of your life. Suddenly, order appears in the Universe, you can find things, the feeling of being overwhelmed isn’t omnipresent and you look forward to things; life is sweet again.

What do you want from life? Check the list below for ideas on where clutter is stopping the flow in your life.

LOVE — Clear out the SOUTHWEST corner of your home, bedroom, living room, and office. Clutter here can manifest as problems with relationships or can create health problems such as a large stomach, reproductive or elimination system problems or bulging middle.

MONEY – Clear out the SOUTHEAST corner of your home, bedroom, living room, and office. Clutter here can create problems with lack of savings (accumulated wealth) and difficulties in the hips, legs and knees. Start a savings program — no matter how small.

FRIENDS, FAME, RECOGNITION — Clear out the SOUTH corner of your home, bedroom, living room, and office. Clutter here can create problems with friends, social contacts, as well as health problems with vision and heart issues. Brighten and lighten this area up and create open space (air feeds fire!) and watch stress come down and fun rise.

HEALTH, FAMILY GROWTH — Clear out the EAST corner of your home, bedroom, living room, and office. Problems here result in difficulties with family members, tension in the house, problems with skin, lungs, and feet. Beautify with water images to feed the wood energy of this sector and improve health and family relationships.

CAREER, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES — Clear out the NORTH corner of your home, bedroom, living room, desk and office. Problems and clutter in this area creates problems with kidneys and ears. Brighten and lighten this area, create space to create flow for the water energy here that brings career and business opportunities.

CHILDREN/BABIES, CREATIVITY, PROJECTS TO FLOURISH — Clear out the WEST corner of your home, bedroom, living room, and office to watch projects come to fruition. Clutter in this area creates problems with children, the mouth and teeth. Add metal to this area to create movement in projects and help children.

EDUCATION, PERSONAL GROWTH, SPIRITUALITY, WRITING — Clear out the NORTHEAST corner of your home, bedroom, living room, and office. Clutter in this area keeps you from thinking clearly, making good decisions and keeps you feeling anxious and uncertain about your life. It also affects your hands. Keeps hands in good condition with lotions, manicures and watch how you think more clearly.

TRAVEL, MENTORS, HELPFUL PEOPLE — Clear out the NORTHWEST corner of your home, bedroom, living room, and office. Clutter in this area creates problems with men, the man of the house, and with finding people to help you and assist you in life. Excess mess can also create problems with the head, such as high blood pressure and headaches. Open up this space and the world opens up for you!

Books that can help you declutter AND have good feng shui

Clear Your Clutter with Feng Shui by Karen Kingston. EXCELLENT book every since feng shui enthusiast should own. This is my hands-down favorite.

Lillian Too’s 168 Ways to Declutter Your Home by Lillian Too. The guru of feng shui (and my personal teacher) explains the connection of clutter and feng shui — including mental and spiritual clutter.

Stop Clutter from Stealing Your Life by Mike Nelson. Nelson talks about the mental health side of clutter and how to get out from under the control of clutter.

When Should You Move Out of Your House? – Feng Shui’s Telltale Signs That It’s Time to Go

Kathryn Weber — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 18:37:29 +0000

Many people fear feng shui consultations. They worry they’ll be told that they have to move out of their homes, do major renovations or stop using certain rooms. A qualified feng shui consultant rarely tells someone that their home is hopeless with regard to feng shui.

Good feng shui consultants will also talk to you about your life in addition to your home. They’re trying to understand how the house is affecting you and they look at your life and your home at the same time.

Some people worry about a toilet in their career sector, yet they’re a thriving professional. Your life really is the best indicator of your feng shui – and not where your bathrooms are located. Rather than focus on the feng shui problem areas in your home, taking stock of your life is a better way to determine if these feng shui flaws are really a problem for you.

If life is good, relationships happy, health is wonderful and money isn’t a concern, then you don’t have a feng shui problem even if a bathroom is in your southeast sector or relationship corner. Another problem is that people frequently think they’re stuck where they are.

With a little ingenuity, you might find that a new home, condominium or apartment is possible. Start by visiting some that you think you might like. That could get the energy moving in the direction of a new, better space for you. If you aren’t sure whether or not to move, here’s my take on when moving really is the best choice.

Life has been one long uphill battle.
If constant struggle and misery has been a part of your life since you’ve lived in your home, then it might be time to move. General unhappiness and inability to make key areas of your life take root and grow is a good indicator that the house is not supportive or beneficial for you. It could also be that the environment that surrounds the house is affecting your home – and your life.

Nothing has changed. You’re stuck.
Buddhism teaches that hell is not a place of demons and flames, rather it’s a state of being stuck. When your life is one long march of sameness, there is no growth, no happiness, little to look forward to. Are you in the same position you were from a year ago, three years ago, five years ago, ten years ago – or even fifteen or twenty years ago? When life had not progressed, then your home could be holding you back. Take stock of your life and progress.

You haven’t grown.
Good feng shui helps you to grow. Bonsai trees are very bad feng shui. They’re old trees, stuck in tiny containers meant for seedlings that never allowed them to reach their potential. When your space is too small, you fail to grow, or “branch out” in your career, your relationships, your life. Like the bonsai, you can’t “grow up.” This is very similar to being stuck. I have a number of clients who believe moving is not an option for them and don’t desire a grown up place. Interestingly, these clients all live in the smallest of homes.

You don’t like where you live.
People often say you should grow where you’re planted, but the right environment is key to growth. A fir tree won’t grow in Brazil and a rubber plant won’t grow in Siberia. If you aren’t happy where you are, such as the locale, then move. Your happiness with where you live affects your feng shui. Moving isn’t easy, but it’s not the end of the world either. In two weeks the whole affair can be over and you can be somewhere you want to be – and that’s great feng shui.

You’ve tried feng shui and have failed.
Too often applying feng shui amounts to putting out a fountain or making some other small change, but not committing to taking care of serious issues such as bed or desk alignment, painting your home a harmonious color with the facing direction or fixing other feng shui flaws. In other words, we focus on what we want from our home before we correct the problem areas. This is a simple fix. When the flaws have been addressed fully and enhancements made and nothing happened, it might be time for a consultation with environmental assessment or considering moving.

Five Things That Spoil Your Home’s Feng Shui

Kathryn Weber — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 18:34:26 +0000

Living in a home that promotes contentment, harmony, and success means creating a thoughtful environment. These days everyone understands the importance of environment because, after all, we are a product of our environment — and if that’s true, then what is your environment saying about you?If your home is messy, dirty, and disorganized, chances are you are tired, struggling, and frustrated. But this is just one correlation. However, even in homes that are seemingly “together”, there can still be things that work in the background to undermine our success.

Could these items be working — or lurking — in your home, damaging the good feng shui you are trying to create? Read on to find out more.

1. Negative, sad, or harmful images or objects.
All too often American homes feature the television as the centerpiece of a successful house. The living room is more correctly called a “watching room” because of all the viewing that goes on. What’s more, the TV is almost always on in many houses. The TV isn’t the problem though. It’s what’s on it.

From Jerry Springer shows to the nightly news, there are horrific events taking place in the world, and if they are allowed to play out on the TV in your house, then the “sidewalk” of the world has effectively spilled into your home. The best thing to do is to reign in the TV, make it so that it, like toilets, is not the first thing you see when you walk into the house or living room.

Another family I consulted with had a problem with the kids fighting and not doing their homework. I suggested that the TV stay off until after seven in the evening when the evening meal was over and so was the homework.

Then, TV became family time and the parents controlled what was on. They found that the family talked while dinner was prepared and during dinnertime, and even found that they preferred to play games after dinner instead of watching TV.

Even things like urns of cremation ashes or crosses out of the coffins of loved ones are not a good idea to display in the house. These are very yin and could create all kinds of difficulties — from low income to low vitality and relationship problems.

Look around the house and see what kind of images are allowed into your home. Then determine if they should be eliminated or controlled.

2. Shoes.
Shoes are everywhere, from public places to restrooms, and can pick up all kinds of dirt, germs, and energy. Keep shoes confined to entrances and exits so that their energy doesn’t track negativity throughout the house.

3. Bad odors.
A clean home is good feng shui. But even a clean home that suffers from bad odors will also suffer from bad feng shui. Never try to cover up odors. Instead, work to find the source of the odors so that they can be eliminated.

Odors often come from water leaks, sewer problems, pet urine, stale air conditioning filters, moldy air ducts, and never opening the house up for fresh air. All homes should be thoroughly aired out from time to time or at least three times a year. Houses that are closed up and never aired out trap musty odors and this will bring down the feng shui of your home and will press down the positive energy.

4. Hidden messes.
These are the problem areas that are out of sight. In this case, out of sight does not mean out of mind. In fact, you almost always KNOW that the coat closet, for example, is rammed to capacity and you just always avoid it so you don’t have to look at the mess. Sound familiar?

If there’s an area of mess in your house that is out of control, embrace it. Get to the bottom of it and clean it out. Having a house that looks good on the outside, but has every drawer, closet, and dresser stuffed with useless stuff and junk plays tricks on your mind — and your feng shui.

5. Illegal or illicit items.
This is the big one. If you have stolen or illegal items, such as drugs or pornography, you are risking your good feng shui. These things attract VERY negative energy to them and have no place in a home that is working for good feng shui. Did you ever wonder why alcohol is called “spirits”?

It’s because some people could see negative energies or “spirits” around liquor bottles. Make sure there isn’t anything in your house that illegal, illicit, or negative that will harm the good energy of your house.

Cure Illness Energy–Keep Your Home Happy and Healthy

Kathryn Weber — Thu, 07 May 2009 18:28:17 +0000

Many people think of feng shui as a technique that can help them to make their space more comfortable, more productive, and more prosperous. But did you know you can use feng shui to improve your health?

Feng shui is based on energy. And, we all know from our basic grade-school Science classes that energy is constantly moving and changing. Therefore, feng shui is constantly moving and changing.

Because of this movement of energy (think of undulating radio waves that bounce through the air and bring us our favorite music stations), it can create prosperity, good relationships, and good health. But, for every positive there is a negative.

Practice protective feng shui first

Positive and negative, like male and female, and inextricably tied. They cannot be separated. So, you must be aware that while you can use feng shui to enhance your space for the positive benefits, you can also be subject to negative energy, and feng shui can help you to keep it from harming you.

In fact, this is what’s called “protective feng shui” and it is the number one rule of practice in feng shui. Feng shui should always be employed first and foremost to keep you and your loved ones from harm.

This is especially true if the energy is located in an area where someone is recovering from illness, or if there is an elderly, young child, or pregnant woman located here. Why? Because these are the people who are most susceptible to negative energy and therefore require the most protection.

Defining feng shui illness energy

There are several types of illness energy that can cause problems for you. These are often associated with the directions they come from and from the energies that move into different areas of the house from year to year. Here’s a quick rundown:

5 Yellow

This energy flies around to the various directions (north, south, southeast, northwest, etc.) and can cause serious health problems, particularly with the heart, spine, and bones. It will also cause problems associated with the various directions. For instance, the east is associated with the foot and legs. It can also cause general sickness.

If combined with the 2 black, it can cause serious life-threatening illnesses like heart failure or cancer. If the 5 Yellow is located here, you could suffer from a broken foot or leg. Metal objects, such as windchimes and lucky Chinese coins (6 on a red string), a laughing Buddha figure, and lush plants can help to offset the negative energy.

2 Black

The number 2 illness star can create problems for the liver, stomach, and reproductive area. If the illness star flies into the west, it can create problems for the mouth and illnesses will begin there. In the northwest, it would affect the head, but it could also affect the head and the stomach region, simultaneously. Metal windchimes (6-rods, hollow), lush plants, and 6 Chinese coins on red string are excellent ways to control the negative energy of the 2 black star.

3 Jade

This star can be deadly when it is combined with the 2 star. It can cause problems with slander, gossip, and scandal. For health, it will hurt the limbs, particularly the hands, feet, arms, legs, toes, and fingers. Red objects and bright lights are excellent cures for the 3 Jade star in the sector it flies into.

What to do when the illness energy affects you

If the illness energy is at your front door, don’t use it and use another door instead. If it is in your bedroom, try to relocate your bedroom. Always try to employ remedies, such as color or elements (bright lights, metal objects, etc.) wherever the negative energy resides. If there is a large cabinet, closet, bathroom, or storeroom close by, you can possibly “lock up” the negative energy — so count yourself lucky if you have one of those situations.

When to watch for their energy: Annually, Monthly, and Natally

The five yellow and 2 illness stars are the most serious of all. Each year, I update this information so you can follow where the energy is located and make the appropriate corrrections for the year. Be sure to check the annual feng shui every year and make the appropriate remedies. You can also follow where the energy flies each month by looking at monthly flying star charts. These can tell you each month exactly what areas to avoid and how to handle the negative energy.

Flying Star Charts: The natal — or birth chart — for your home

Another way to know where the negative energy stars are located is to have a flying star chart cast for your particular home. This is cast using the date of construction and last renovations for your particular house. You may want to consider having a flying star chart for your home so you’ll know where the negative energy in your home resides.

If you are interested in building a home, it’s wise to have a flying star consultation for your home so you can plan storerooms, bathrooms, and closets for the areas with the negative energy and plan your dining rooms, bedrooms, and living areas for the areas where prosperous, beneficial energy resides.

The 6 House Types that Prevent Prosperity

Kathryn Weber — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 06:08:16 +0000

Could your house be one?

When your home has a poor arrangement or certain architectural characteristics, you could find that your financial situation is a constant struggle. Particular homes lend themselves to wonderful abundance and material prosperity and yet others offer only financial trial and tribulation for their owners.

Some houses are more likely to help the occupants acquire the wealth they desire and those are the homes that have few, if any, feng shui challenges. Of course, every house has challenges, but some are more significant than others.

When you look at homes that have more serious obstacles to wealth accumulation, they fall along a number of lines. If your house isn’t one of the homes listed below, then count yourself lucky! If you do have a house that has one of the following challenges then you’ll be relieved to know there is a reason that money has been such a problem for you.

Houses that prevent prosperity are many, but some are more common than others. Below are several house types that stop material advancement and wealth and opportunities for their residents.

The L-shaped house.
This house is shaped in such a way that there will be a serious case of missing sectors. When there are missing sectors, this can severely limit the opportunities that a house receives – and consequently the money that the residents make. This is also called the “cleaver” house because the shape is that of a cleaver – which cuts off opportunities wherever the missing corners fall. Correcting the missing sectors is important. An addition to the house or completing the house symbolically with a garden, a roof, etc., will help.

Emptiness house.
An emptiness house falls along the lines of the cardinal directions (N,S,E,W) and subdirections (SE,NW,NE,SW). This creates a very yin house that causes health complications, money is extremely difficult to generate, growth is futile and there is an overall lack of accomplishment. In short, nothing can succeed in an emptiness house. Correcting this is important because nothing can happen in a vacuum – and that is the best definition of a yin line.

Big mouth house.
Unfortunately, many architects have stressed the importance of automobiles versus people. These houses have giant, oversized garages that gobble up the energy that should be going into the house. You’ll notice the garage before the front door and this limits the opportunity for energy to enter the house. A picture of this type of house is above.

When homes, which are already yin to begin with, are cut off from the flow of energy, the residents cannot create financial traction. Acquiring wealth and growing financially is a struggle. Correcting this involves creating more energy at the front door and taking the emphasis away from the garage through the use of color or other design techniques.
Door and house facing differences.

When the door to a house faces a different direction than the house, this can create problems generating energy and bringing chi into the house. Growth slows and the financial picture becomes a question of just trying to retain what you have. To stimulate growth and prosperity, the door should be moved.

At the least, more emphasis should be placed at the door with lighting, color, and décor. If there are any large windows, these should be emphasized to allow energy to enter the house.

No support house.
The house that has ground that slopes away from the back of the house is in a constant state of trying to hold up financial appearances. The money seems to slip away and there is no accumulation of wealth. Lighting at the rear of the house will help to shore up the energy drain from the house.

Locked or imprisoned house.
The locked house is severely restricted in the ability to generate income. This is called an imprisoned house because the occupants simply have no choices in life – similar to being imprisoned. The locked house occurs at various time intervals and creates problems with conceiving children, businesses going bankrupt and an inability to maintain relationships.

If you live in a house that has not been updated since the last period (1984-2003), and have had severe difficulties, you might have a P’o chun (“breaker of armies”) house. Renovation, updating or redecorating is the key to unlocking your home.

If you have a house like one of these above, take heart. If you have a house that has one — or more — of these problems, get to work! Most can be corrected in some manner and that’s the good news. The wonderful part about feng shui is that it helps you to both diagnose the problem and helps you find the solution.
