    Feng Shui Fabulous-Jay Johnson, Design2Share editor and publisher

    Hi Everyone-
    I made it without hanging up on our first guest!!  Whoo hooo...

    Jay Johnson is the editor & publisher of Design2Share.com.  If you  haven't checked out this web design magazine, you must!  Not only is there a phenomenal column called Harmony2Share (shameless self-promotion!) which is my monthly healthy design/lifestyle contribution, you will meet featured artists, incredible video of great design, artists and gardens...and a plethora of other design info.  Visit the site at www.design2share.com.

    Jay shared insight on how he uses Feng Shui personally and professionally for over 20+ years.  Applying Feng Shui principles to his Manhattan apartment and week-end home in PA, he gave tips on how he has used these principles to create different atmospheres for the function of both homes.

    Jay also left us with this sound advice: "If it isn't a toilet, tub or sink, something that is attached to the wall or floor-it is PORTABLE.  Move it around, try different places and see where it "fits" and feels comfortable to you."  He went on to say that "people can think of their homes as shrines, and when you place something down, that is where it is TO STAY."  Love it!

    Side note-Jay will also be our guest on tomorrow's CasaVerde radio show, where we will discuss Design2Share and some GREEN trends that he's seeing.

    Until next week where we will discuss Feng Shui Fabulous tips for EASTER!  Happy Feng-Shui-ing....

    Feng Shui Fabulous-The Power of Intent

    Hi Everyone-
    Wow, I'm going to have start making shows longer as time is just flying by!  We will continue our "intention" discussion next week due to time running short on this past segment.

    Today we discussed the "power of intention" and that we need to KNOW what we want to change and how to use Feng Shui to make those changes-through de-cluttering, changing up accessory choices in any given space so that they represent the Life Area depicted/corresponds with.

    I used the example today of the RELATIONSHIP area-what is displayed in the RELATIONSHIP area of each room and/or the bedroom?  Hopefully it's items that represent ROMANCE!!  I gave the examples of 2 clients, both of whom wanted to work on this area-1 had single women pictured in profile, looking down throughout her bedroom, the other client had a "missing" RELATIONSHIP area (L-shaped house) and bedroom needed some "tweaking."  First client, while she didn't get a new "romantic" relationship DID get a new job (business relationship) that paid more with better hours/benefits!  (Imaging what she could have accomplished had she worked on her closet!!...on-going battle...)  The 2nd client, met someone whom she subsequently married!  Yea!

    In working, or giving "attention" to any "intention", make sure that you actually DO something to initiate a CHANGE in that area!  You can't just "hang a crystal up" and expect all to be perfect.  You need to use Feng Shui as a tool in your quest to be "more present" in your life.  THIS is what we will discuss more of next week...

    If you want to work on WEALTH/ABUNDANCE, then you need to stop thinking "I can't afford that!"  Because if you think you CAN'T, then you NEVER will.  Now, that doesn't mean you go buy a Porsche to prove you CAN have a Porsche-but it does mean you should test drive one (I have!) to get the "feeling" of having it.  As most of us are on budgets right now, that doesn't mean we stop or can't feel "abundant" and wealthy.  Treat ourself 1x a day (or week, or month...) to something that makes you FEEL abundant and wealthy!  For me, that was my Starbucks visit  every Thursday morning, when I quit my job and went back to school to get ready to start my current company.  I saved $5 every week for my 1x a week visit for my "venti soy vanilla latte."  Even now, when I can now afford a daily Starbucks infusion, those Thursday morning visits are still the best. 

    Don't give in to the "fear" of can't, shouldn't or could'va...they are dream and goal killers!  If you are on a budget, but want to increase "family" in your life-host a pot luck at your home and invite everyone, hang family photos up w/everyone looking happy.  If you want to bring more "romance" into your life-but you aren't currently in a relationship or want to improve your current one-buy flowers, light candles...think of what represents "romance" to you and bring those elements into your life.  Who cares what anyone else says or thinks?  They are probably just jealous that you have the courage to make a life change.  One of the scariest things we can do is change-it's much safer to keep everything "the same" even if we're miserable.

    Next week we will discuss this further-getting rid of fear and moving forward...

    Until then, don't forget to get your Bante Design toolbar-it's free and you get our "design" ticker, RSS message alerts, Google search bar and drop-down menu of all things Bante Design & DeAnna.  Also-don't forget to check out our groups on Facebook-Feng Shui Fabulous-join others in discussion, add photos/video of Feng Shui inspired projects and more!

    Thank you again for listening!!

    Feng Shui Fabulous-WEALTH & Abundance

    Hi Everyone-
    Today's episode went by quick!  We discussed a lot so here is a summary of how to activate the WEALTH energy/chi, into your space:

    First off, the WEALTH area is the far left corner of any room, your lot or your space.  You find this by standing in the entryway to the room (your house/office) or land.  The far left quadrant is the WEALTH area.

    This area is activated by the color(s) purple or any metallics-silver, gold, copper, bronze...The shape is free-flowing organic lines (water takes the shape of the container its in!), the WATER element and "salty" tastes.  Since METAL precedes WATER on the "productive chart" of elements, you can also use METAL to help activate the WEALTH area!!

    Personal items to use to activate WEALTH energy:

    fountains/aquariums
    any water-related animal (dolphin, frog)
    jewelry case
    coin dish
    model of car you want (Porsche, BMW)
    floor plan of dream house
    metal windchimes

    Menu Ideas:

    WATER taste is "salty".  Examples: soy sauce, kelp, salty fish.  Prepare WATER element foods by boiling, simmering or soup.
    METAL taste is "pungent".  Examples: ginger, garlic, brown rice.  Prepare METAL element foods by baking or pressure cooking.

    METAL menu ideas include:
    Spicy tuna tempura
    Steamed sole
    Chocolate & Pineapple ravioli
    Pistachios
    Mango, orange, grapefruit
    Sushi

    WATER menu ideas include:
    Creamed celery soup
    Braised veggies
    Any type of soup
    Any type of gravy, dressing, glaze, syrup
    Ceviche
    Any type of fish (water) especially prepared boiled, simmered or soup

    Chocolate is PERFECT for this area!  Think DARK chocolate with a champagne, saffron, cointreau or liquer ganache filling!  Totally decadent and fabulous!  Treat yourself to a Feng Shui Chocolate or a Godiva ice cream scoop!  YUM!

    The most important tip for this area is to actually FEEL wealthy and abundant.  Sit down and think of what makes YOU feel this way.  For some it's the daily trip to Starbucks.  For others it's silk sheets and for others it's cooking on great cookware w/expensive, quality ingredients.  It will be as different as there are people.  There are no right or wrong ways to FEEL wealthy.  One of my friends LOVES sunflowers-she has pictures of sunflower fields in bloom to give her the feeling of abundance.  What works for you?  Then get a picture of it and hang it.  Place a representative of that item (a model Porsche on your desk) and place it in one of your WEALTH areas.

    ***Get out of the poverty consciousness or bag lady syndrome of "I can't afford it" or "It's too expensive."...blah, blah.  You may NOT be able to afford the payments on a new Porsche or to go to Starbucks everyday or WHATEVER...but you CAN test drive your dream car (or rent it for the day!), and you CAN go to Starbucks 1x a week or month...If you continually thing you CAN'T...you NEVER WILL.***

    To decorate this area, use mirrors, upward growing plants, tabletop fountains, water and/or metal related items, things that represent wealth/abundanc to you, large bouquets of flowers, a cornicopia of overflowing goodies (change it with the seasons/holiday).  Lastly, you can use silk, leather, velvet, cashmere...whatever fabric that makes YOU think of luxury.  Buy a pillow, blanket, sheets...whatever, so that whenever you touch it, it makes you feel fabulous (and abundant!).

    Don't forget to post pics or join in the discussions on our Facebook group!  You can follow us on Twitter (I'm getting MUCH better at it!) and don't forget to download your custom toolbar to stay up-to-date on all news and goings-on!
    http://BanteDesign.OurToolbar.com

    AND if you want to "activate" WEALTH energy using aromatherapy-use the BERGAMOT Environment spray by 3E Products.  Each 8oz spray is $8.99.  This eco-friendly spray can be used in any space!  Visit the Bante Design LLC website for more info at www.bantedesign.com.

    Until next week, with our very first guest!!!

    Happy Spring and Happy Feng Shui-ing....

    Feng Shui Fabulous-WEALTH & Abundance

    Feng Shui Fabulous: Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda

    In today's episode we continued out discussion about the "power  of intention" and how FEAR can stop us cold in our attempt to make life changes and/or work on our goals/dreams.  Feng Shui is applicable here as we "wrok on" or try to "activate" any of the Life Areas, our fears, negative self-talk and lack of self-worth can actually stop any progress we may make on our quest for happiness. 

    ***Side note-negative talk and lack of self-worth can come from "well-meaning", or NOT so well-meaning friends and family as well.  they may try to "help you" through their own fears, jealousy (afterall, who are YOU to try and make a change) and/or insecurities.***

    I mentioned, and recommended the book by Esther Hicks, "Ask and It Is Given" as a reference in helping you to overcme any of these fears AND to help you "get in vibe" (my words) with what you want to achieve.  The first "exercise" to help you "raise your vibration" to fit with acheiving any goal is called the "Woiuldn't it be nice if..."  Here, you just start imagining all of the things that would "be nive" if they were to happen RIGHT NOW.  I would say as I'm writing this..."Wouldn't it be nive if...I had a venti vanilla soy latte?  yes it would...Wouldn't it be nice if if my fence were painted?  yes it wol (weather please cooperate with me!)...Wouldn't it be nice if I was writing this blog post on a beach?..."  See how this works?  You want to feel like a 5yr old on december 23rd waiting for Santa to arrive...The joy...the anticipation...the utter feeling of jumping out of your skin because you ARE SO EXCITED!!!!  THAT'S how you should feel whenever you are thinking about one of your goals or changes you want to make.  If you don't, you only feel a sense of dread, guilt, los...whatever negative emotion comes up....ask yourself WHY you feel this way, and work to change it.  Is it YOUR feeling or is it SOMEONE else's "voice" you hear...Change it..

    the next exercise, also from Esther Hicks, is the "Removing the rees from your path" exercise.  Here we take our negative thoughts/emotions (or the TREES) and try to move them from the path.  Example: imagine you are driving from Phoenix to San Francisco to move there.  It's ALWAYS been your dream to live in SF.  You start to pack, plan your trip and find a place to live (You should have some sort of plan or outline as you move forward with any goal.  A budget, a time-line...you need to know the HOWS of how tostart and proceed).  Along the way, well-meaning, or not so, will try and be "helpful."  are you SURE this is what you want?  SF is expensive, can you afford it?  The weather is worse there...(this can also be going through your head as negative self-talk as you might not feel "worthy" of acheiving your goal-for whatever reason.  As you move forward on your journey, the negativity can either make you drive SLOWER towards your goal OR make you stop and turn back altogether.  You give in to the fear and negative self-talk, declaring your goal unattainable or you are not worthy to receive it.  Do NOt SUCCOMB TO fear AND LIVE YOUR LIFE IN REGRET .  You don't want to be part of the 'coulda, woulda, shoulda" club.  You want to reach SF (or whatever your goal) in record time!  THAT's the goal.

    Start small in making changes to your life, and trying to bring about positive life change.  Take a different route to work.  Try a different flavor of coffee.  Do the exact opposite of something and see what the results are.  There is a great Seiffeld episode where George Costanza does this as his "life is going nowhere."  So-he does the opposite.  He lands a date with a beautiful woman and gets his dream job with the NY Yankees.  Be George for a day and see what happens.  Also of note is that you can't keep doing the same thing day in and day out, and expect DIFFERENT results.  (This is the definition of insanity by the way).  I have a neighbor who wants to find "Mr Right."  Yet, she won't go out, she only socializes with her married sister and her father.  She is "hoping' that Mr Right will move into our neighborhood and ask her out.  Oh if it were only that easy....DON'T be like my neighbor.  Go out.  Try new things.  Take a chance.  I tell me workshop attendees to think of the absolute worse thing that could happen and then do a "pro/con" list.  If youcan live with the cons-go for it.

    this week, try a new flavor of coffee, take a different route to work or sign up for workshop you've always wanted to take-whether someone else signs up with you or not.  Worse case senario, you waste $20 and a couple of hours, best case, you make some new friends with the same interests and learn something new.  You choose.

    Next week we will discuss Feng Shui and the Wealth/Abundance area of the Bagua.  Some tips on how to feel wealthy and abundant in our current economic climate

    Remember to check out our Facebook group and view the Events area.  Also-we will be offering webinars through Design2Share starting in April!  Stay tuned for more details on that.

    have a great week and Happy Feng Shui-ing....
