Feng Shui Folly: Ram On

Posted by on Mar 13, 2015 in Feng Shui Folly, Inspiration, Q & A | Comments Off on Feng Shui Folly: Ram On

Our friend C.G. asks:

“If I Am displaying a figurine of the Ram this year what should I do with the figurine of the horse?”

 

Why not save your horse figurine for the next time around? The wonderful Horse year comes around every 12 years. The next time it will be the Fire Horse, the most dramatic horse of all, in 2026.  As the years go by, and you acquire an image or figurine for each zodiac animal, they may make a lovely little audience in the back of the shelf that displays each current year’s animal in the front.  Or you could store them, respectfully, out of sight, to wait their turn again. It might become a family tradition to pull out each successive year’s animal token and enjoy seeing them again in their turn.

If you do not wish to keep the figurines/images of past years’ animals, you can also consider giving them as birthday gifts to family and friends whose birth year they represent.  Print out a description of the animal’s characteristics on some lovely paper, and include this with the animal totem for a complete gift.  Theodora Lau’s The Handbook of Chinese Horoscopes has very detailed chapters on each animal, and which years they represent, if you wish to research further.  Asian import stores also have nice cards of each animal, with their descriptions, to give as birthday cards.

Q&A: Which Bedroom Color is Best?

Posted by on Jul 8, 2014 in Art, Feng Shui Bedroom, Q & A, Relationship Tips, Your Home | 2 comments

 

Q: Good morning, I’ve been reading The Western Guide to Feng Shui Room by Room. Wonderful and very interesting.  I’ve actually recommended it to about 10 friends.

 

The challenge I am having, choosing a paint color for my bedroom. I’m a single woman looking to attract a man and bring romance into the bedroom. I want to find a color that balances both masculine and feminine energy.   I’ve read through the list of paint colors on p.181 of the book dozens of times and brought the list to the paint store.  So far I’ve tried 30 samples and yet not have resonated.

Q&A – Spiral Staircases

Posted by on Apr 8, 2014 in Ch'i, Five Elements, Garden & Landscape, Q & A, Your Home | Comments Off on Q&A – Spiral Staircases

Q: I have a spiral staircase and I don’t know what to do with it. I find that I’m avoiding going upstairs, afraid I’m going to fall through! Help!

A:  The downward moving “waterfall effect” of stairs is greatly amplified when those stairs are also spiraling down just as water does in a drain. Spiral staircases affect our sense of stability and safety, especially when there are no risers installed and the banister is open as well. The ch’i rushes down these stairs too forcefully, and there is a sense of danger in using them—are we going to fall through those openings in step and banister on the way up, or are we going to lose our footing on the way down?

Essential Feng Shui applies our balancing tools of The Five Elements  to remedy the situation.

Q&A – Which color should I paint my front door?

Posted by on Mar 31, 2014 in Bagua, Q & A, Terah | Comments Off on Q&A – Which color should I paint my front door?

Q. Hello!

What color should I paint my front door? It’s at the southeast, could I use a different color inside or does it have to be the same? I stood with my back to the door standing outside to get this information, was this the right way? My back door is to northwest. Which color would be the best? Thank you so much for your help.

Janet from Puerto Rico

 

A. Hi Janet,

Our School teaches Form Feng Shui and you are referring to Compass Feng Shui. I would advise you to paint your doors the color/s that are your absolute favorite and that make your heart sing every time you see them. This lifts your energy every day and enhances your vitality, happiness, creativity, and productivity. Our approach focuses on your individual preferences rather than a generic formula.

 

Enjoy choosing Colors that you LOVE!

With Every Blessing,

Terah Kathryn Collins
