Another year...not going to be easy!

Well, this year, 2010 may have some hardships and let's face it, 2009 was not a walk in the park. I think we are already watching some of those unfortunate events unfold like the tragic earthquakes. Master Gayle Atherton warns of car accidents, posibilities of rioting in certain neighborhood configurations, relationships can become a challenge with enhanced agitation and feeling forced to pick a side and having to live with that choice, and in business, it is a year to not "force it or it can come back and bite you".

All in all, the more you push, the more difficult you will make it, kind of like struggling to dig out of quicksand. So allow life to unfold, be more cautious on the roads, don't text and drive, slow it down and try to be more aware of what you are experiencing. Choose to use both ears, listening twice as much as you speak and take time to listen to the wisdom within you!

Simple Changes, Lasting Results!

Hopefully this is not the first time you have heard the term Feng Shui, which translated simply means “wind” and “water”. My name is Teresa Svedman and I am a Traditional Feng Shui Professional. I practice a classic ancient form that has been around for over 3000 plus years. It is the Asian method of creating wealth in all aspects of life and is credited to have empowered Dynasty’s. My goal is to treat you with tips and tricks and to disperse some of the myths surrounding this very special way to improve your health, wealth and happiness.

Feng Shui is scientific and practical. It is the study of landforms and how the energy called ch’i moves through and around those forms in either a positive or a negative manner. Traditional or classical Feng Shui is also referred to as “flying star” which only references the mathematical formulation of a pattern ch’i establishes and should not be mistakenly misrepresented as Chinese astrology. These star numbers create a beginning energy that gives insights to a Feng Shui Professional on how one can assist their client.

To most effectively improve your luck through the study of Feng Shui, you would need an accurate floor plan and facing direction of your home or office. All flying star work begins with those two very important functions. If Feng Shui is new to you, I will be sharing more generic information, helping you to “get your feet wet”. It is essential you understand that Feng Shui is holographic and a very complicated network of layers and working in each space is unique and has its own individual issues.

AT the end of January and through February 4^th, 2009 marks the anniversary of annual flying star energy changes. A new year creates new challenges when renovating or redecorating your home. Just as important as the building’s flying star energy, another layer is this annual energy apt to create chaos or bad luck. Have you ever started a project that just seemed jinxed? Feng Shui may ease your pain. Each year, some months, days, even down to hours or minutes, certain directions can have harmful effects on your health and or wealth. Of course we can certainly live through a minute or an hour, but a day especially a month, on top of a year in negative energy, can create a pretty bad day, month or worse yet even a year. So, after February 4^th, 2009, it is not recommended to “move earth” or break ground on your property including the inside of your home or office, in the Northeast, North, East or the Southwest. It is also not recommended to sleep with your head pointing one of those directions or sitting for long periods of time facing one of those directions.

If you are forced to work on or in any of these areas in your home or on your property, there are traditional cures that will mitigate the negative influences. The term “cure” reduces or stops the offending energy. The cures are created with the basic understanding of the essential theory of nature, the cycle of creation and destruction, using the five elements which are Metal, Water, Wood, Fire and Earth. If you are suffering from bad health or bad luck in general, consulting a Feng Shui professional can help assist you in creating a more peaceful resolution.

Symbolism

I have been fascinated with the symbolism used in Feng Shui. It is my understanding that symbols evoke feelings and they carry energy. Allow me to use an example of a symbol we can all relate to. Imagine your flag for the Country you live in...most people feel pride and patriotism when they reflect on their flag. But let's take it one step further, lots of people live in your Country and they all feel the same way. This massive energy makes your flag an important symbol in your life and this good chi' can energize your home or office when placed properly. I hope this analogy helps you understand the importance of symbolism in Feng Shui. Think about the things in your home and how they make you feel!
