Get The Energy Flowing

Before you can Feng Shui your home or work place you need to rid yourself of clutter. There is no point implementing remedies if you have clutter, as it will reduce the effective flow of energy.

If you look up the dictionary for the word "clutter" the words referred to are disorder and confusion. This is symbolic of what you may be experiencing in life. In different areas of your home you may have clutter that may refer to the way you are feeling in a specific area of your life. Your home is a reflection of you and clutter can block the energy flowing effectively through the home and therefore can affect opportunities available to you.

Start with a drawer, once you do it you will feel great. Anything that you look at that you do not like or conjures up a negative feeling either throw it out or give it to a charitable organization. An example of this is a present or gift you may have received from someone you don't like and every time you see this item you have negative feelings….what is the point of holding onto it? You must surround yourself with positive energy and that means surrounding yourself with items that mean something positive to you and make you feel good.

I make a point of de-cluttering every 6 months. Once I get started it's hard to stop because you feel a load lifted off your shoulders. If you want to keep things, get organised. Put them in a cupboard so they are neat and you know where everything is. You will feel a lot more in control of your life.

In short, if you don't like it or haven't used it for a long time, get rid of it!

Feng Shui Entrance

# The energy coming through the door is the single most important factor that will determine how prosperous the occupants will be. Therefore you must keep the entrance clear of any clutter to allow the energies to flow freely.
# Make sure there is nothing in direct alignment with the door such as a tree or telegraph pole. To remedy this place a Bagua mirror over the door so it is reflecting the Sha Qi.
# The path to the front door should be wide & spacious & well lit. Curved windy paths leading to the main entrance are auspicious.
# Place two wide leaved plants next to the main door to help entice the energy in such as peace lillies .
# A beautiful picture placed on the wall opposite the main door is used to encourage energy into the home & therefore opportunities to come into your life.
# Your main door should always open inwards into a wide space to invite the Qi & therefore opportunities into ones life.
# The location of the door with regards to the sectors of the home, indicate a priority to the occupants therefore if the door is located in the North sector, you will find that your career is a priority to you.
# Avoid facing a dark, pokey room, an interior staircase, mirror, stove, sink, fireplace, the door of a toilet, laundry, bathroom or bedroom. To remedy this keep the doors closed or place a screen between the doors.
# Be careful placing water features as they could activate negative energies.

Erotically Charge Your Bedroom with Feng Shui

You can turn your bedroom into a romantic retreat by using the ancient art of feng shui (pronounced fung shway). Feng shui is about enhancing the environment or the energy around you.

Lillian Too who has written 16 books on feng shui says, �The structures around you also emanate energy and if these structures are placed in a harmonious fashion based on feng shui guidelines, you can attract good energy, and therefore you can attract good fortune and good luck.�

Feng shui guidelines take into account compass directions, colors, natural elements like wood, minerals, fire, water, and earth and aspirations such as wealth and prosperity; recognition and fame; marriage and love; creativity and children; mentors and helpful people; career; knowledge and education; and family relationships and health.

In feng shui, romance begins in the yin (feminine) vibration of your bedroom. Excite the ch�i (life-force, energy) by making your bedroom romantic.

Here are some of the basic ways to erotically charge your bedroom with sex positive energy by using the guidelines of feng shui.

First of all remove all clutter so positive energy can flow throughout the room. Clutter blocks the flow of ch�i. You should also remove anything reminding you of past lovers. Photos, love letters, presents and gifts, anything that reminds you of the past should be removed. You might want to go as far as getting new bedding and even a new mattress, especially if you shared you current one with a long term love who is no longer part of your life.

According to feng shui guidelines you should get rid of items associated with loneliness. You should not have just one of an item, not one flower in a vase, or one single photograph or one painting and definitely not one night stand. Everything should be arranged in pairs to symbolize a union. Have two candles on a dresser, two paintings on a wall, two end tables, etc. You should also avoid paintings or photos depicting one thing.

Pointy items should be avoided; they produce too much yang (male) energy. Replace pointy items with softer items representing natural curves.

Plants, whether they are living, dried, or artificial should be avoided in the bedroom.

Water is prohibited in the bedroom according to feng shui. It clashes with the fire element, the element of passion. Avoid having any water features such as fountains or fish tanks in the bedroom, also avoid any photos, painting or sculptures depicting water scenes such as waterfalls, rivers, lakes, streams, etc. Water in the bedroom can lead to financial loss and loss in a relationship.

Try to keep computers and televisions out of the bedroom. If you can not keep them out of the bedroom try to hide them in a cabinet or armoire that has doors that can be shut at night or cover the television and computer monitors with screens or thick cloth at night to block the yang energy that they emit. The bedroom should be full of yin energy, not yang.

Feng shui guidelines say the bed should be placed diagonally opposite to the entrance door. You should be able to see the door but not be in front of it. Do not sleep with your head toward the door. Have your headboard against a sturdy wall and your bed up off the floor with nothing underneath it to impede the flow of energy. Do not sleep next to a window because feng shui concepts say it disturbs the energies around you. You should also avoid having a mirror directly facing the bed. The mirror should not reflect the bed.

You should not be able to view your bathroom from your bed. Bathrooms should be screened or the door should remain closed. Feng shui principles suggest bathroom plumbing drains energy.

Keep all exercise equipment out of the bedroom. According to feng shui the bedroom is not the place for the excitement and flow of yang energy used during exercise.

Feng shui places a lot of emphasis on color selection and use. Stay away from cool colors in the bedroom such as blues, grays, whites, and blacks. Warm colors are best for the bedroom such as browns, beiges, reds, apricots and yellows. Red, the color of love and passion, is best for sexual energy. Yellow is also another very good color for the bedroom because it symbolizes communication.

Women should avoid filling the bed with lacy pillows, dolls, and stuffed animals. The bed should be comfortable but uncomplicated.

Feng shui suggests including materials derived from animals such as fur, leather, and wool. Do not use polyester or other synthetics. For your bedding you should use natural cotton or silk.

For an erotic bedroom incorporate the fire element of feng shui by using candles and oil lamps.

The bedroom shopassionate energy in your room with objects and paintings in shades of red, pink, and garnet.

Feng shui principles suggest placing a red object on the female night stand to increase eroticism in the female partner. On the male�s night stand place a tiny jar of copper scraps or something made of copper. Copper represents the male essence and enhances eroticism to its fullness.

To preserve sexual receptivity place a ruby or garnet on or hanging over the night stand. These stones are very energizing and powerful in attracting the opposite sex.

By incorporating these principles of feng shui in your bedroom you can create an erotically charged romantic retreat to attract a new lover or recharge the energy in eroticism in a relationship. Even if you can not apply every principle of feng shui into your bedroom, try to use as many as possible to get the erotic energy flowing.uld be an erotic retreat fro a couple. Display photos of the two of you doing things together. Avoid having too many photos of friends or family members. The bedroom is a private place, the children and in laws should not be involved.

Open your curtains and let sunlight into your room during the day. Let sunlight charge your bed with positive energy.

To enhance the sexual energy in your bedroom with feng shui, use the right hand corner (from the entrance) of your bedroom to display symbols that activate the energy of love, such as a photograph of you and your loved one, a sculpture of lovers, or two sculptures, a heart shaped object, a crystal prism, a mobile, or a sensual painting.

Activate your Fame Section - South

Feng Shui is important for attracting success and luck for your career and business.
Activating the fame section helps bring you fame, whether it is in the business
world or the arts.
If you are an artist, writer or musician, activating this section can help increase
your chances for recognition and success. Painting this section of the house red
will be beneficial for attaining success and fame. Placing a horse, turtle or elephant
in this area assures that you will have strength and power to complete your
projects. You can have all three objects to make sure you have strength and determination
to achieve success.
Keep this area well lit, the brighter it is, the better. If you wish to become famous,
put a world globe in this area and twirl it from time to time. Whatever you have
to send out will go to all parts of the world.
Never have water flowing in this area, in the form of a fountain or sink.
This is not a good placement for a bathroom, either. If you have a bath in this area,
be sure not to use it if your desire is to become famous.

Your Element and its Relationship to Colors

If you know your element, it will help you decorate by identifying the best placement
of things and the best colors so that you can achieve overall harmony and
well-being.
WOOD - Green
If you are a wood element person, you can benefit from using lots of greens, blues,
blacks and some reds, but not yellow, gold or white. Use plants and water in your
home, but be careful as to the placement of these elements. They belong in the
North, South or East section of your home.
FIRE - Red
Fire element people can use lots of reds, greens and blues, but not too much white,
gold or yellow. White is a detrimental color for fire, wood or water elements. It
causes misunderstandings between family members and friends. It can also cause
loss of income. Use lots of the color green, including green plants, and you will
see an increase in your financial status. In fact, after red, green is the most important
color to be used in your home. Blue is also beneficial, as it enhances the quality
of your life by creating harmonious conditions for good relationships between
family members and friends. Blue is also a good color to use to help attract partners
if you are single. If you have single children in your home, it helps attract a
lucky and happy marriage for them.
EARTH Ð Gold, Yellow
If you are an Earth element person, you can have a lot of gold and yellows in your
home, in addition to some browns and reds. Avoid an abundance of green, blue or
black as these colors are detrimental to your health. Crystals and crystal chandeliers
are beneficial in different locations within the home. In fact, I am an earth element
and have every room painted yellow, except for one wall which is red. Red
is a beneficial color for Earth people.
