    Feng Shui Fabulous-Clutter

    Hello Everyone-
    Another segment in the archives...and, if you listened, you know that I was calling from my home office with the 2 dogs barking towards the end of the segment...ah, the joys of working from home...sorry.

    Today we discussed the evils of clutter and the process of clearing our stuff.  First off, clutter is the physical manifestations of our emotional bagges.  I have written extensively on this topic and a month long series of articles featured my advice on Examiner.com in articles by Jay Johnson.  Check those out for more information.

    Clutter also tends to congregate in areas that we are either "working on" in Feng Shui terms (see 9 Life Areas) or are "stuck in."  I guarantee this.  I can walk into a home and tell what Life Area a person is having "issues" in.  (It's a great party trick...just kidding, I don't Feng Shui analyze a house unless asked to.).

    There are 3 questions you need to ask yourself:  Do I use it?  Do I need it?  Do I love it?  If you answered "NO" to any of these questions, the item needs to go.  As you are going through your items, you have 3 piles to choose from:  Keep, Sell/Dontate and Toss.  Once an item is in a pile, it stays in that pile!!

    Start small.  You will NOT be able to go through an entire home in a weekend!  Each item must be picked up and/or tried on.  If the item doesn't serve a purpose or state who you are NOW, it must go.

    In the next episode, we will go more in depth with relationship clutter, paper clutter and what a collection really is....

    Until next time, Happy Feng Shui-ing...

    Feng Shui Fabulous-Companion Pets

    Alright, we're on a roll now...talking about pets.  Did you know that you can apply the same Feng Shui principles you use for you for your pet?  You can!

    Pets are very sensitive to their surrounding areas. Watch where they hang out, and what areas they avoid.  This could give you a BIG clue as to what areas in your home are "blocked" or can validate Life Areas of concern for you.  Here is a Bagua Board with "cures" for your pets:

    Wealth/Abundance                     Success/Fame                 Relationships
    Purple                                                   Red                                  Pink
    Water                                                    Fire                                 Earth
    $$/metal charm                               Red treat jar                      pet bed
    Swavortsky crystal leash/collar


    Family                                                Health                       Creativity/Kids
    Green                                         Yellow/Earth tone                  White
    Wood                                                  Earth                              Metal
    photos of your pet                          NOTHING              pet toys/bed for puppies


    Knowledge                           Career/Life Journey          Helpful Ppl/Travel

    Blue                                                  Black                                Gray
    Earth                                                Water                               Metal
    show ribbons/trophies          metal water dish     cat litter box/animal angel figurines


    Signs of an "unbalanced" pet-watch for signs of illness, but if pet just seems "off" and not themselves, look to Feng Shui to help.  Signs include: excessive barking for no reason, unaccountable fear, unwilling to go for a walk (when they usually can't wait), inside marking or an unwillingness to use litter box.

    Pet Feng Shui cures:
    Clean and/or de-clutter their space OR any area they shy away from

    • Keep pet bed out of the "death" position (space in direct line with the entryway).
    • To help w/bonding, add pink to their collar/leash.  You can also add pink to their bedding w/blankets, monograming or bed color to promote a positive "relationship."
    • No plastic dishes for food/water-use metal or anything made from the earth element (ceramic, stone).

    For more info, check out this month's article in Animal Wellness magazine on "Pet Safe Remodeling" written by DeAnna.  DeAnna will also be moderating a panel on eco-friendly pets at the upcoming GREEN Expo in Chicago May 16-7.  Watch the Bante Design LLC website for more info (www.bantedesign.com).

    Also-3E Products, the products division of Bante Design LLC, offers Lavendar Environment sprays to help calm your pet and "lull" them to sleep if you have a puppy or a pet that thinks night time is "play time."  8oz almond oil-based sprays are $8.99.  The SLEEP line of laundry products (also lavendar scented) are great for washing your pet's bedding.  Liquid laundry soap, stain pre-treater and fabric softener are all available.  Buy the set for $15.  Add a lavendar Environment spray for a total of $20!

    Till next time....Happy Feng Shui-ing....

    Feng Shui Fabulous-Valentine's Day

    Hi Everyone-
    2 episodes down!!  I think I'm finally getting the hang of this...thanks for hanging in there with me.

    OK-Valentine's Day is fast approaching..what to do, what to do.  In this episode we talked briefly about color, element, shape & menu ideas.  Here's a recap:

    RED-if you are in a LEGALLY binding relations (married, engaged w/date set)
    PINK- if you are single & looking or dating
    PEACH-if you are single & not looking for a relationship

    Element for the Relationship are is EARTH.  Think things made from the earth: brick, stone, clay, marble, semi-precious stones....(diamonds are always nice!).  In Feng Shui, in the "productive cycle" (meaning ADDS TO) you want to use FIRE as well to "amp up the energy."  Think candles, fireplace-anything that represents an open flame or fire.

    Shape for EARTH is a square.  Shape for FIRE is a triangle (can also use star or pyramid...anything with points)/

    For your decor, think candles, a lit fireplace, a table set w/red or pink square placemats or dishes.  Fabric draped across table/chairs...anything that will bring a sense of "sensuous" to the room.  Use velvet, silk, satin, leather, cashmere...anything that is soft to the touch and encourages you to feel it.  Items should be grouped in 2s or pairs-think a couple!

    Again, think about what is romantic to YOU.  I think beach scenes are romantic, you may think a garden is...or a walk in the forest...or castles...whatever.  Keep that in mind in your decor-whether it's for Valentine's Day and/or your bedroom.  (We'll discuss the importance of bedrooms in more detail in another episode.  But remember, the bedroom is synonomous with romance/relationship).  You should only have things here that represent rest & romance-no exercise equipment or pictures of your in-laws or kids.  Those can be definite romance killers!  Only things that represent you and your partner or what is romantic to you!

    Romance is about sharing, loving & having fun.  Think about cooking dinner together!  (or at least ordering from the same take out menu!). Food needs to be shared and not too heavy (which will make you tired...you want to be energized!).  Again, going along our theme of EARTH & FIRE-we are going for spicy and hot.

    Shrimp Tempura w/ dipping sauce
    Japanese Nabe
    Fondue
    Most types of shellfish (oysters, lobster)
    Tuna Brochettes w/tempeh
    Vegetable sushi

    Desert:
    Green tea ice Cream w/chocolate sauce
    CHOCOLATE anything!
    Crepe suzettes w/sambuca
    Raspberries w/creme fraiche

    For menu choices, whether eating at home or at a restaurant, think light & energizing, not heavy & putting you to sleep.  (Remember the Sex & the City episode with Charlotte & Harry going to the French restaurant for their romantic dinner.  They ate a 5 course VERY HEAVT meal which ended up making them sick it was so rich...Don't let this happen to you!).

    I hope this episode gave you some ideas for a great Valentine's Day day.  The most important tip though is for you and your partner/date, to have fun & do what is romantic and fun for you!  If it's movies w/pizza, a romantic weekend getaway to Napa or somewhere in between-do what YOU like to do.  Just remember to add some Feng Shui color to it!

    Happy Feng Shui-ing...

    Feng Shui Fabulous -an Introduction

    Well,  it's done.  Our first segment on BlogTalkRadio.  I hope it wasn't too rushed-I tried to fit in as much info as possible into the 15 minute time period.  As we continue on this journey, I may experiment with a longer segment time, and then be able to take caller questions.

    For those of you who may have been confused, or questioning how the Bagua Board is set-up...here are the 9 Life Areas:

    Wealth/Abundance                Success/Fame/Luck           Relationship (social/romantic/biz)
    Purple                                                   Red                                    Red/Pink/Peach
    Water                                                    Fire                                            Earth
    Free flow lines                                    Triangle                                     Square
    Bergamot                                         Clary Sage                               Ylang Ylang

     
    Family                                       Health/Well-Being                         Creativity/Kids
    Green                                                Yellow                                            White
    Wood                                                 Earth                                              Metal
    Rectangle                                        Square                                            Circle
    Lemongrass                                  Lavendar                                        Orange


    Knowledge/Self-Empowerment    Career/Life Journey            Helpful Ppl/Travel
    Blue                                                        Black                                        Grey
    Earth                                                      Water                                       Metal
    Square                                                  Free flow lines                         Circle
    Eucalytus                                              Geranium                                Grapefruit

    Whenever you lay out this grid, you're entryway/door must align with the BOTTOM row.  Thusly, Wealth will always be in the far left corner and Relationship will be in the far right corner.

    I hope this clears up any questions, or confusion that may have resulted.

    ***Check out 3E Products, the products division of Bante Design LLC, for the line of Environment Sprays!  These 8oz almond oil-based sprays, are keyed to the 9 Life Areas!  So you can "spray for the scent, or with Feng Shui intent."

    I look forward to many more episodes!!  Next week, Feng Shui for Valentine's Day!!

    Happy Feng Shui-ing....
