Essential Feng Shui Tips: Art
Feng Shui Definitions
Art of all kinds, including paintings, sculptures, collages, and textiles, has a powerful effect on people. To enhance the Ch’i in your home, choose art that elicits positive feelings and in some way makes your heart sing. Your goal is to make sure that every piece of art in your home is one that you love.
- Match your art with the function of each room. Choose soothing, romantic, or sensual art for your bedroom; lively, colorful art for the living room; powerful, motivational art for your office.
- Use the Bagua Map to help you find the places in your home that correlate with your goals in life. If you wish for romance and your Love and Marriage area is in the dining room, choose art that’s romantic and appropriate for your dining area. If you wish to improve your health and your Health and Family area is in the bathroom, display art there that evokes radiant health and vitality.
- Honor everyone living with you by making sure they also like the art displayed in shared rooms.
- Your art should portray whole images and serene or inspirational subject matter. Art depicting violence, death, distortion, or negativity is not advised.
- Very special Ch’i resides in art that you and your family create. Sow your personal Ch’i into your home by expressing your creativity. Make sure you aren’t hiding away any art pieces that deserve to be framed and displayed.

Community Love: Wealth and Prosperity!
Love from our friend Casey:
Hey Terah & Liv:
First of all, thank you for the webinar it was great! Your joke about the refrigerator-looking at it, wondering what was in it, then having to eat everything in it- made me laugh a lot! I love the new word “ESSENTIAL-IZING,” it’s so much more empowering then “downsizing,” and makes me want to start doing things that I have definitely been putting off…LOL!
Going forward I will definitely be taking pictures, and am bummed I didn’t think of it before I recently tackled my kitchen counters-but mine is a funny story even without pictures, so here goes:

Feng Shui Q & A: Porches: Orienting the Bagua Map
Our friend June asks:
My house in Grenada has a covered verandah (porch) all the way around, 12 ft wide in the front, overlooking the sea & 6ft wide everywhere else. Does this mean that each Bagua area will consist of a piece of verandah as well as the adjacent room? The main house itself is under one rectangular roof & the verandah roof wraps around like a skirt & is attached to the walls of the house, slightly lower than the main roof. I really would be very grateful for your advice.
Great question June! The quick answer is YES it all counts! And it’s completely fine when Guas are both indoors and outdoors. Just draw your Map over the entire house including the verandahs. You may wish to enhance the interior more than the exterior, remembering that every inch ‘counts’ – so no clutter, and everything in good repair.

Community Love: Bagua Success!
Juicy gratitude from our friend Nicole, who found Bagua gems in The Western Guide to Feng Shui:
My boyfriend, step-children and I live together in a home we recently purchased. We did some renovations but I always sensed there was something off. It was kind of blah, and the amount of arguments and unhappiness in our home were growing rapidly. We’d never been the kind of people who fight all the time. I did a study of the bagua map, but it didn’t dawn on me until a few weeks later that our love area was lying almost entirely outside the house! I went to work immediately to make changes with landscaping and screening outside. It was the side of our house where things like electrical meters were located. I even found a rusty razor blade on top of the utility box. We also stored our garbage cans there. This was less than one week ago. I cannot even express how entirely different the mood is almost immediately. I relocated furniture in that part of the house as well to a marked difference. It’s truly amazing. Even my partner remarked how great it looks and feels now. From utilitarian to bamboo and palm like the beaches of Hawaii that we love so much.
