Feng Shui Made Simple 2012

Change and align the energy in your home for love, abundance, health and happiness by simply rearranging, adding or removing specific elements and colors. Your home environment is a total reflection of the energy within you. Are you lacking love, can't find a partner, wanting children, not enough money, get sick too often, receive no respect? Read on...

Generic Western Feng Shui only scratches the surface but there is a deeper, more serious method, original traditional Eastern Feng Shui. We have done all the research for you and made this very simple to apply.

LETS BEGIN:
Your home represents all the directions of the compass including the center area.
Imagine a box divided into 9 squares.

Each compass direction (each box) has a numbered star which represents a specific energy, either positive or negative.
Each year these stars move into a different box/compass direction (same as planets moving through houses and signs in astrology).

Each month a second star visits each box, and slightly shifts the energy for good or for bad just for that month (for advanced practitioners only - we don't want to confuse you).

This page will tell you what elements and colors you need to focus on for each compass direction according to the energy residing there for this year. We will not be updating and adding the monthly visiting stars - check here instead: www.fengshuiweb.co.uk

INSTRUCTIONS:
Work thru this page step by step, slowly and carefully.

OK, get a compass and determine where your compass directions are for your home: N, S, E, W and NE, NW, SE and SW.

Feng Shui grid - BAGUA - representing your home with traditional
elements and colors associated with each direction.

Next, apply the Bagua elements and colors to each direction:
a) You are going to focus on and add/accent certain elements - Earth, Fire, Water, Metal, Wood.
b) You are going to focus on and add/accent certain colors - red, green, blue, brown, silver etc

THE BAGUA:
North: Dark Blue, Black - Water element - Your Career, path in life.
NE: Beige, tan, earthtones - Earth element - Knowledge, Skills, Communication.
East: Green - Wood element - Your Family, foundation in life, the past.
SE: Green - Purple, Red - Wood element - Abundance, prosperity, wealth corner.
South: Red, Orange - Fire element - Your reputation, social status, fame.
SW: Reds, Pink, Orange, Purples - earth tones - Earth element - Relationships, love/romance - Mother, lover.
West: White, Pastels, Silver - Metal element - Your Children, creativity, projects, the future.
NW: White, Grey, Silver - Metal element - Helpful friends/people, mentors, heavenly help - Father, man of house, lover.
Center: Earth tones - Earth element - Physical, Mental, Emotional Health.

TIP: Use fabrics such as throws, table runners, scarfs, cushions, rugs, bed sheets - and objects such as candles, plants, vase of flowers, lampshades, crystals, photos and wall art, to accent each element and each colour needed for each direction.

Note 1: Each room of your home may be any color you choose and does not have to be the actual color of the Bagua direction - instead, add accents of the elements and colors needed to activate the specific energy in each direction with appropriate element objects and fabrics.

Note 2: After you apply the nine box Bagua to your home layout in general - you can apply the Bagua within each individual room, especially if you live in a studio or rent a room. eg Bedroom is in SW so you first apply the colors of love or earthtone colors, then, you apply the Bagua within the Bedroom according to each direction, such as, in the NE corner of your room, you place your books and awards (knowledge corner).

THE ACTUAL ELEMENT IS MORE POWERFUL THAN THE COLOR WHICH IS SECONDARY.
eg: Fire = Candles, fireplace. Earth = Pottery. Metal = Home decor object such as candelabra, wall art, photo frame. Water = Vase of flowers, indoor fountain, aquarium. Wood = Plants, bamboo.

To understand how the elements work together, look at how they react in nature:
Productive - Earth produces metal, metal turns into flowing liquid, water nourishes wood (trees, plants), wood feeds fire, fire becomes earth (ash).
Destructive - Earth absorbs water, water puts out fire, fire melts metal, metal cuts wood (axe), wood drains earth.

Elements in home must be balanced for energy to be aligned. Make sure you don't have an over-abundance of any one element and be sure the elements are in the correct location, eg: South is traditionally fire/red, North is traditionally water/blue and black. However...

Annually: Every year, due to visiting stars which each represent a specific element and meaning, the exisiting element/colors may need to be changed slightly by removing, adding or toning them down. There is no need to go spend money - work with what you have, get creative.

Confused? No worries - simply read and apply the following:
The numbered visiting stars written after each compass direction, are explained further below for those interested.

OK, after you have applied the traditional foundation of the Bagua colors and elements, take a look at the elements and colors for this year 2012, and apply accordingly to each direction. If you are new to all this, DO NOT APPLY THE FOLLOWING UNTIL YOU HAVE UNDERSTOOD THE BASIC BAGUA ELEMENTS AND COLORS, AS EXPLAINED ABOVE.

The #9 star can go either way. Here are the meaning of the stars:

FYI:
Feng Shui BEDROOM - room for Love and Healing:
NO mirrors, water, fountains (will create infidelity) or plants.
Remove photos of family and children from bedroom and place in another room - place photos of lover and yourself only.
Never use peach as choice of main color for bedroom - will create infidelity.
Wall art should be happy, romantic or sexy - NO images of single people if you want a relationship!
Make sure space on either side of bed is evenly spaced, with 2 side drawers, 2 lamps etc.
Do not have bed in corner but centered, with sturdy headboard against wall.
Bed should NEVER directly face door - symbolic of a coffin!
Nothing should be stored under bed.
You should not have view into bathroom - keep door closed.
No computer in bedroom, nothing electric near head such as alarm clock or cell phone, no work-out equipment. If you have a TV in bedroom, cover or unplug when you go to sleep.

Feng Shui HOME IN GENERAL:
1) Keep closets clean and organized - give away or throw out anything and everything that you don't love or need or use.

Note:
a) If you store things in closets/cupboards, why do you have them there, unless they are for a specific season or holiday?
b) If you have objects/clothes that have bad/sad memories - get rid of them!
c) If you have stuff/clothes you have not used or worn for 1-2 years - get rid of them. Give to Goodwill, have a garage sale, give to friends - whatever you don't use or wear, someone else can!

2) Anything broken, leaking or cracked - fix it or throw it away asap.
3) Keep toilet seat down and door closed.
4) Flowers need to be fresh (not silk or dried) - throw out when dead - make sure water is clear and clean and never stagnant.
5) Use natural fabrics and elements such as cotton and silk - stay away from plastic and polyester.
6) Never place your bed or desk chair sitting with back to door - place bed or desk where you can see the entrance/the entire room.

7) Check you have balance of all 5 elements in each room of home - an excess of any element in home or any specific room will misalign energy and disrupt, causing health, wealth or relationship challenges.

8) Be sure to have a great color palette throughout your home to energize love, health and wealth - if you have any monotone theme going on, use accent colors or expect a monotone life!

Note: I recently met a very eligible bachelor with money, career and good looks who could NOT find a girlfriend - His entire home was brown and beige and... his bedroom only had one nightstand and one lamp... no surprise he is single!

9) Artwork is critical - place paintings that you love, art that inspires whatever you desire :) No images of single people if single. No sad images. Artwork reflects the status and energy of who you are or who you want to become, and your life to date.

10) Be sure to the bathroom and kitchen clean (stove, sinks, bathtub, mirrors, floor) - vacuum and dust the entire home every week, otherwise expect negative energy consequences.

11) If a corner or area is missing due to apt/house design, simply remedy and activate by placing bright light/tall lamp, hanging crystal, mirror or plant.

12) If bathroom is in SW (female) or NW (male), finding a mate or sustaining a relationship will be challenging. To remedy, place plant in SW and heavy statue or boulder in NW. NO fire/candles/kitchen in NW ever - will destroy head of household income.

Feng Shui works whether you believe it or not, so why not give it a try - much of it is common sense!

Feng Shui Health 2012

Here is special bonus information for those needing help in the health department.
1) Your physical health challenges may be caused by incorrect Feng Shui in your home.
2) Check to see why you are feeling specific emotions or moods - they may be due to element imbalance, or incorrect placement.

YOUR PHYSICAL BODY:

Find your physical problem below,
a) Check and correct (remove or add) the elements/colors in that compass direction relevant to 2012.
b) Make sure the area is clean and tidy, with everything located there working properly (nothing broken, leaking, cracked).
