Essential Feng Shui Tips: The Royal Bed
Make your bed “the King or Queen” of your bedroom. Although a multipurpose bedroom may be practical, it is not the slightest bit romantic. To attract a partner, make room for romance by putting your exercise equipment, television, desk, and computer in other rooms. If any of these items have to stay in your bedroom, screen or cover them attractively when not in use so that your bed commands your bedroom.

Q&A: Which Bedroom Color is Best?
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.

The Incredible Resiliency of Being
By Liv Kellgren, WSFS Instructor
My mom was enjoying a romantic weekend away.
With her boyfriend.
On a motorcycle.
It did not end well.
Crisis = Danger + Opportunity
The Chinese character for Crisis is actually two characters side by side: Danger and Opportunity. Danger seems to be short-lived and easily identifiable. Danger, hot water! Danger, mind the gap! Danger, accident ahead! Meanwhile, Opportunity triggers the start of a much longer process, teeming with questions and decisions that can only unfold over time. Opportunity, go back to school! Opportunity, travel abroad! Opportunity, 6 months of rehab!
I’m really glad that Danger is over so quickly.

Read MoreEssential Stories: A New Compass
Hello WSFS!
I’m happy to report that A. found a job! It came about through a series of “coincidences” shortly after we changed the photograph in the bathroom from the sailboat to the anchor, and installed the compass in the career area!
I initially thought it took longer than I expected but after talking with A. about how he found this job I came to realize that the process actually began right after we implemented the changes to the Career area.
Things had seemed to be going slowly after the Career area changes so I made additional tweaks in the Helpful People area (added the statue of an angel) and changed the color of a candle in the Prosperity area to purple. I also swapped out a plant for a fountain on a part of the balcony that sits in the Prosperity area.

The Tao of the Holidays
by Terah Kathryn Collins
O, here they come! The parade of holidays is about to begin. While meant to be relaxing and enjoyable times, holidays can also be quite stressful. When we look through the eyes of the Tao (the Way to sustain or regain harmony) we can identify ways to diminish stress and increase our harmony-quotient throughout the season.
Take a few moments to define in detail your own version of an ideal holiday. Consider reinventing any traditions that cause you stress. Ask yourself “how would my holidays be if they were exactly the way I’d love them to be?” Contemplate the following questions, focusing solely upon your personal preferences.
