What shade of blue are you?

What shade of blue are you?

Blue is one the the most favorite colors in the World, but it is a tricky color for feng shui!  In Western culture blue usually represents water or the sky.  In feng shui it also can represent water or the sky.  So, which shade of blue is supportive to you?

Cyan, a blue that is warm,  is not a representation to fire, rather it is a metal blue.  Supportive to the elements of water and metal this blue is special.

Mid to Navy blues are supportive to water and is as close to black as one can get when going for the element of water.  But, be careful there are shades within this generality that can hold the energy resonance of fire, earth, metal or wood.  Any blue that looks more like the night sky than the deep sea will resonate more with fire than with water.  Always side with water if there is any question.  Water is an element that destroys fire in feng shui.

Light to mid blues usually represent the element of fire rather than water, but again be cautious  there are shades of this blue that may represent that of metal, wood, water and earth.

Blue greens are wood energy.  The more green, the more likely it is wood, however turquoise is an earth blue as is azure blue.

See blue is tricky and is so often feared in feng shui design , because it can cause the wrong reaction to a remedy, if you have it wrong.

Remember that a shade of blue from light to dark will resonate with one of the five elements of feng shui.  Always consider the shade with great respect.  Do NOT judge the shade of blue in haste.  Ask yourself does this resonate in a reflective nature.  If this shade of blue is reflective,  you can be sure that it resonates metal.  If the shade is deep and rich with a flow of liquidity about it, you can be sure it resonates with the element of water.  If the shade of blue has inclusions and refractions, then you can be sure the shade of blue resonates earth.  If the shade of blue is light, airy or twinkles, it is of the element fire.

Cyan is a  metal blue, but add some inclusion of brown and it becomes turquoise which is earth.  Take away it’s rich deep iridescent qualities and it becomes fire.  Add more green to it and it becomes blue green algae which is wood.  Darken it and it becomes water.  Try this with any shade of blue and you’ll see that blue can be easily be used without any fear of making a wrong choice.

Blue is a color that can resonate as any element.  The shade of blue for your own personal kua or energy signature is the shade of blue for you!  So, look carefully and add or subtract from the shade that you like and it can be a supportive shade of blue.  Use blue, wear blue and enjoy it’s wonderful chameleon like qualities. What is the shade of blue for you?

 

History of Feng Shui in America – American Feng Shui

11 Mar
American Feng Shui

Wealth Bull

The history of feng shui in America is quite fascinating! We’ll have to take you back to the Ancient Egyptians, who happened to practice a very similar art/science. With the take over of their empire, Western Civilization went into a very dark era. Only a very few were even remotely educated in this system until it was almost completely forgotten.

Fast forward to the Age of discovery. During this period of Western history explorers found ways to trade with China directly, no longer dependent on Arabs and the Middle East as middle men, England, France, Spain, Holland and Portugal traded with and studied Chinese Culture. With that came the introduction of Feng Shui to Western Civilization, a more advanced form of the Egyptian art/science. This is not to say that had the Egyptian form of this art hadn’t been interrupted, it may have been just as advanced, but it was.

By the late 1600’s, American Whalers were also trading with China and were soon practicing feng shui in their homes in New England. The rich Whaling Captains homes were designed in a feng shui square, split into thirds and were raised up to four floors or stories high.   The feng shui brought them luck and wealth.  New England became a rich asset for Britain.

This wealth brought with it an independent mind. With the practice of using feng shui in the design of American cities and forts, sculptures and homes, luck was on America’s side. Revolution was poised to win the independence that wealth had brought to mind.

By the 1800’s, America was still using feng shui and many of the occult symbols of Egyptian lure. Washington, D.C. for instance, uses many of these symbols and can still be seen today in it’s city plan. For the average man the style of architecture was still being influenced by feng shui.

By the 1880’s, the height of the Victorian Age, the well to do learned to minimize the shar chi rooms and maximize the chi rooms. Most of these homes were irregular in shape with a clear reasoning behind them. They almost always started with a square and shrank the rooms that were not so helpful to the head of household or shar chi rooms and made larger the rooms that would support the head of household, the chi rooms. It was probably the wealthiest period in American history for the individual man and his estate.

By the 1920’s, America was on a new path of discovery and back to the square box. For mass production homes and resale reasons homes no longer were designed for the individual, but for trade as a commodity and feng shui expertise faded.

Today, is a new dawn and Americans are now rediscovering what past generations already knew. Feng shui works and has been a part of our national psyche for nearly 400 years, that of course includes our colonial heritage. Discover the wonders of feng shui for yourself. Love, fame, wealth, health and personal growth all yours for just taking the time to educate yourself in the art that is feng Shui.

Can Feng Shui Help Sell Your Home?

04 Mar

Feng shui can help to tip the scales towards your home for a buyer.  It isn’t a guarantee that your home will sell.  Other factors are at play, such as is your price fair for the current market?  Do you truly want to sell your home or are financial pressures forcing you to consider it? If this is the case, consider other options.  If you really need to move for a new career,  your needs have grown or you’ve decided it’s time to downsize, then look at your market value and price it accordingly.

Life can sometimes throw us a curve ball.  If you are going to take hit, you might find that the loss turns into a gain in the long run.  Sometimes change can mean two steps back and one forward.  But before deciding to act on this, consider what direction that one step forward will take you.  Will it be full of opportunity to run free or will it be a step to the same place you just came from?  Don’t let the real estate market scare you from going after your dreams! Don’t just jump.  Take prudent steps towards making a sound decision that you can live with.

Once you have decided to sell, the step will be easier than you think.  Preview “Feng Shui Tactics For Selling Your Home”  for FREE, right now.  Feng Shui can help you attract a buyer.  Make your home inviting!

Personal Kua and Feng Shui Love

18 Feb

What exactly is your personal kua? Well, to be quite frank it is your energy signature. It’s value is determined by the stars in the heavens and the Earth itself. Mostly the Earth itself!

Every year has a different energy signature. So when you were born your essence took on certain general attributes of the year you were born in. And these run in cycles of nine. Every ninth yearthe cycle starts again.

The calendar which we use today is politically based and not naturally based. The modern Western Calendar is one that we agreed to use Worldwide, mainly for commerce. The Chinese lunar calendar is based on the movements of the moon. The Chinese solar calendar is based on the natural planting and harvesting cycles on Earth. This is the reason that the Chinese Solar calendar is the one you use to figure your kua or energy signature.

It falls on February 5 at midnight (a.m. on 2/5). Why? Because it is exactly half way between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox . It is when spring planting begins. So if you were born on February 4th or before then you will use the year prior to the current western calendar year. If you were born on February 5 or after then you’ll use the current Western calendar year.

Does the Chinese lunar calendar play role. Yes it does! The heavens give your basic nature more characteristics to your personality. It gives you individuality! But, this, too, is predictable. The Chinese solar calendar cycles every nine years and lunar calendar cycles every twelve years thus giving an amazing variety of individual personalities.

Why is your personal kua so important in feng shui. Because you are from the Earth. The Earth is the most powerful influence on your life. So the nine cycle nature based Chinese solar calendar is the biggest determinant to your energy signature, thus your personal kua.

Your essence is from the stars and that determines feminine or masculine energy. Or yin (feminine) and Yang (masculine). Sexual orientation is a very big confuser of the formulas. So, are you feminine or masculine? The vast majority don’t need to worry about this. It’s very obvious, their physical attribute match the energy signature.
