FOR HARMONY TO YOUR CENTRE OF INFLUENCE
Come sit with me a spell
We'll talk about the weather
No secrets I will tell
I'll listen to your sorrows
I'll try to give you peace
You always will be happy
Just make this your retreat.
My heart is always there
No matter what your problem
Believe me I will care
If you want to chat awhile
Have nothing else to do
Come over I'll be happy
I'll take good care of you.
The water's piping hot
Tea I make delicious
It truly hits the spot.
So come on don't be bashful
You're nice to have around
Glad that you could stop by
With friendship hearts are bound.

WELCOME to my pages of easy to follow Feng Shui cures. Some basic Feng Shui ideas simply explained for your fun and entertainment.
Keep an open mind and value your intuition.
While Im no expert, I have used, and do use, these sample suggestions in my home and surroundings and believe they are suitable for north & south hemispheres.
In warm climates look for pale green, turquoise, blue, lavendar, and cream is better than white.
If you have an all-white home - add splashes of red, or other bright colour selections.
In cool climates choose pale peach, apricot, terracotta, lemon, yellow, or pink tones to make rooms cheerful.
* bright or light refracting objects - mirror, crystal, lamps
* sounds - wind chimes, bells, running water, birdsong, music, humming insects
* living objects - plants, bonsai, flowers (real or silk), fishbowl/aquarium
* moving objects - mobile, windmill, fountain, flag, weathervane, grandfather clock, bunting , moving lights
* heavy objects - stones, statues, large wooden screens
* electrically powered objects - air conditioner, stereo, TV, computer
* bamboo flutes - which must be hung with mouthpieces facing down, hand fans
* colours
* others - for example, just a few .. hanging red ribbons on doors with knocking knobs,
using a fringe to hide and resolve slanted beams in house, and placing 9 pieces of chalk in a rice bowl with a little uncooked rice and placing under the bed where your back is to cure backache.

WOOD FIRE EARTH METAL WATER
** WOOD - GREEN - introduce more plants, wooden features or objects made from wood, or wooden products, such as paper.
** FIRE - RED - introduce more warm colours, fabrics, light or heating.
** EARTH - YELLOW - introduce more plants or earthy colours in paint and fabrics.
** METAL - WHITE - introduce metallic objects such as furniture, vases or candlesticks, glass topped table
** WATER - BLACK - introduce water itself or objects that have a yin quality, such as soft fabrics and subdued lighting.
WISDOM area -- choose something that appeals to you in both green and black.
FAMILY area - hang flutes on the wall mouthpieces pointed downwards, and tied together with ribbons in red, green and black. OR place a goldfish bowl there.
Try a red and a green candle on a black dish. Perhaps a vase that is red/green/black with flowers.
PROSPERITY - place a round leaf plant (chinese jade or maranta perhaps) in a red pot there. Place some gold coins in a red envelope or wrapped in red paper and place on something green. (I put a red phone sitting on a green ceramic tile in one room). Also a piano in this area is good Feng Shui.
FAME or OCCUPATION - perhaps use a red/yellow/green lamp here. A photo in a frame of a mix of the colours with the 3rd colour in an item nearby. Picture of yourself in a yellow outfit in a green frame, with a red vase nearby could be used.
If you are in marketing, wrap a sample of your products in the cosmic colours and tie with matching ribbons.
MARRIAGE/RELATIONSHIPS - a pair of mandarin ducks could be placed in this area. Another suggestion is to place a red candle on a white dish OR have a wedding photo or picture of a loved one in a red and white frame. Maybe a white or red frame with a red or white ribbons sitting nearby. Red open fan with a white ribbon. White lace open fan with a red tassle.
CHILDREN - something that appeals with a combination of gold (yellow), black and white could suit this area.
HELPFUL PEOPLE/TRAVEL - something you like in black and white. Black phone with white phone message pad with black/white pen nearby. Use your imagination.
I have a pair of black and white ceramic cows in my area (given to me by a special friends many years ago). Perhaps black and white coffee mugs, or a nice ornament or people sitting on some black fabric or plate. Depends on what part of your room this situation area is in.
CAREER - you need something with colours of green, white and black. As I enjoy genealogy, in this spot I have sitting a white coffee mug with a green/black Clan emblem and surname on side. Place a small dark green box wrapped with black and white ribbon for another idea.
When checking your BA GUA, if rooms are odd shaped, place a crystal or small mirror on edge of the missing section, then better the ba gua area by adding a "cure" or colour/element nearby. If you have more than one entrance to a room strengthen any ba gua position with an extra cure of a windchime, green plant, silk flower, goldfish, or crystal. Instinct guides you to a good feeling.
the best place for your office desk is diagonally across from the door so you face the entrance. This is the dragon desk and commands power and authority. Never sit with your back to the door and keep mess to a minimum by putting files away out of sight.
Keep a crystal paperweight on your desk, or a bowl of flowers, or an evergreen plant - maybe a desk lamp, or a small goldfish bowl.
Keeping a rooster feather in the drawer gives your career a boost.
Sometimes you have no control over the office layout, but if energy is tired, or the office politics a bit heavy, then keep a small round mirror in your desk drawer, along with the above remedies.
If your office deals in money, have a painting on the wall of a water view - river, lake or sea.
If your office is in education have a landscape in soft colours.
If you are in a government office, ang a bright painting of waterlilies, or flowers with large blooms.
If you are in a legal office - try paintings of nice birds.
If its possible, perhaps you could place small blocks under the legs of your desk to bring it an inch or two, above the others - good feng shui!
Does your office feel lifeless? -- add a green plant and see the difference. A Spider Plant is good near computers and office machinery for absorbing up the electronic smog. A crystal also helps.
For general protection from the black tortoise house spirit, keep a tortoise statue near the back of your house.
It is better not to have dried flowers near room entrances or near the front door.
If you love them though, place them in a crystal vase or have a crystal nearby, or place a silk ribbon around them. Silk flowers, from a natural fibre, are a good choice. Plastic flowers are not good Feng Shui.
If you live near a busy road, put a small fountain in your garden between the road and the house.
tied with red ribbons) just inside the front door is a cure too.
Once bed is in the "emperor position", sleep will be smooth and tranquil. Bedrooms have more harmonious energy with the addition of an extra lamp with a peach or pink shade cover.
A bathroom facing a bedroom emits bad energy - hang a crystal between the bedroom and the bed OR put a small round mirror on the bathroom door .
Sparkling clear quartz crystals are used to improve energy flows - they can hang in windows or from theceiling or doorway to reflect lights. They are convenient to correct an imbalance.
A home with a central hallway often divides the residents into 2 hostile camps. Hang a windchime halfway along the hall to increase harmony.
If you live in a high block apartment facing a staircase, hang a mirror inside your entrance so it can reflect back the disturbing energy from the stair case.
If you sit with your back to a door, you lose power - give this seat to a pushy salesman.
An oval or round table is much better to use for harmony, than a square one.
Do you feel more energised in one room over another? If a room makes you feel drained and uneasy, a few celestial cures may help bring harmony back
Windchimes, as distinct from "mobiles" must have hollow tubes to be effective.
Water features and wooden benches give a balance of harmony to surroundings.
Exposed beams in your home is not good Feng Shui - these can cause the occupants sitting or sleeping beneath them to have headaches, quarrel or be tense. Hang a silky red tassel from each beam to bring on the "cure". You may need a few depending on room
If beams are in dining room, make sure they run parallel with table not across it, and use a celestial cure of a chandelier or candles, as well as tassles, flutes or crystal.
Did you know that outside doors symbolise parents mouths and windows the mouths of children. If by ratio, you have more windows than doors, 3 to 1, then you may have children not respecting their elders. The cure is to hang a small silver bell or windchime of bells near the front door. The bell sounds is good Feng Shui.
If you have to present a speech and are nervous - try this.
Wear something in a turquoise colour near the throat. Perhaps a necklace of turquoise gemstones, OR a silk scarf in turquoise colour OR even an outfit in this colour.
Visit the place where the speech will be presented, a few days earlier, to reduce "fear of unknown places" -- helps to reduce butterflies!
