Essential Feng Shui Tips: Blessings
Feng Shui Definitions
Blessings have been a part of life since the beginning of time, fulfilling our basic need to bless and prosper each other. In Feng Shui, when you bless your home, you are blessing the dynamic “being who” houses and protects you every day and night. Bless and celebrate your home frequently with your thoughts and actions, and remember that no matter how many times blessings are performed, it is your personal Ch’i that gives them life. The quality of your inner life is directly reflected in your home. No amount of outer blessing will bring light into your home if you are unwilling to carry it within you. In essence, you are the blessing.

Essential Feng Shui Tips: Nature Objects
Feng Shui Definitions
Nature objects can be very Ch’i-enhancing when they connect you to the special experiences you’ve had outdoors. Bowls of shells, baskets of pine cones, vases of seed pods; and collections of rocks, stones, and fossils can be the most evocative mementos, especially if you gathered them yourself. The memories associated with your nature objects keep you connected to the natural world, even when you live in an urban setting. And unlike plants, flowers, and pets, nature objects are “easy-care,” requiring only an occasional cleaning.

Essential Feng Shui Tips: Pets
Feng Shui Definitions
When loved and well cared for, pets are natural batteries of lively Ch’i. As is always the case in Feng Shui, the key to success is care. Treat your pets with love and dignity, and they will “spark” your life.
- Make sure indoor pets have their own special place in your home. Dogs and cats need a bed, rug, or mat that’s specifically theirs. Smaller animals need their own cages or tanks that give them plenty of room to live happy, healthful lives.
- Keep pet homes fresh and clean to assure the health and vitality of your animals, as well as the quality of Ch’i flowing through your home. Don’t allow anyone—child or adult—to abuse or neglect a pet, and pay close attention to the well-being of pets living in children’s rooms.
- If your pets live outdoors, they also need clean, dry homes and places to exercise. Dog runs and horse stables need to be large and cleared of manure every day.
- The best remedy for cat and rabbit litter boxes is to keep them extra clean. Keep them hooded and out of the way in garages, large bathrooms, or basements.

Begin today to nurture yourself in this way by signing up for a class that will nurture your creativity. Decide which avenue of expression makes your heart sing, and give it to yourself as a gift!
