YOUR SPIRITUAL CONNECTION

Hello everyone! I hope everyone is having a marvelous halloween so far! For this blog we will be making some changes. Instead of posting on monday mornings, we will now be posting on sunday afternoons so that you have something to read while starting your new week. I hope everyone has a wonderful night and I will talk to you guys next week! 

I think this gua is the most important of all the gua's because without your HEALTH you really can't enjoy all the other wonderful things that life has to offer you. In my Feng Shui opinion, take care of this gua first ,especially if you have HEALTH issues.
The center of our home is yin energy. It should be calm, quiet and stable. You should avoid having yang elements or centers of high activity in this space.
Health - This section of the Bagua is located in the center or middle of your home or office.
*Note - There is no need for exact measurements for any of the guas in
the Bagua as they all blend into one another just like all of life's categories
do.
When you're feeling great, you are energetic, productive and are able to capitalize on opportunities that lead to wealth.
In addition to eating right and exercising, there are ways you can use Feng Shui to improve your health.
What can this part of the Bagua help you to attract into your life?
-When you want Balance, Peace and Harmony for your mind, body and soul
-When you are sick, or want overall better health
-When you have a situation that needs improvement, and you don't think fits in any of the other guas.
The best colors for this Gua: Yellow, Gold and Earth tones
The Element for this Gua: Earth
What not to have in this gua:
-Clutter (stagnant energy = Health issues)
*Note: As a Professional Organizer I have had clients that had major clutter issues and almost always they also had major Health issues. The health issues ranged from being overweight/obese to Cancer. Although I'm not a doctor my advice to you is to "Get Rid of the Cutter". You will be so happy that you did as it will clear your mind, body and soul!
-Dirt and dust (attracts negative energy)
-Broken things (Why are you keeping broken things?)
-Dead plants, dried flowers and/or the ashes of a loved one(having death in your Health gua is just wrong on so many levels...LOL)
Cures" to place in this gua:
-Healthy Plants & Trees
-Things made from the Earth i.e. China, ceramics, clay times, clay pots, brick, natural stone flooring
-Square shaped items (tile flooring) 
-Funny Stuff - photo's of you and your family having FUN!
-Fresh Fruit
-Animal prints (No, I do not think that the animal print underwear would be 
appropriate here. LOL)
#9 is the number for this gua. Nine means achieving the highest accomplishment, contentment in success, gratitude. The number nine 
is considered one of the luckiest numbers in Feng Shui.
.
Next week we will learn about the CHILDREN/CREATIVITY gua.
Enjoy your afternoon :)

As the saying goes...You can choose your friends but you can't choose your family...well isn't that the truth. :) LOL
Family - This section of the Bagua is located directly in the middle on the left hand side of the map. This gua is all about your Family. Everyone has their own thoughts and feelings about their family. To some, family is all about the wonderful childhood memories and to others it brings back some not so nice memories of their childhood. No matter which type of memories you have this area is important because it relates to your past family members and to your family today.
What can this part of the Bagua help you to attract into your life?
-Feeling more secure in all areas of your life
-Improve your sex life
-Help you to have a better relationship with your family members
-Start being treated like family by non-blood relatives
-Enhance your business and increase your income
-Improve your physical and mental health
-Make better choices in life
The best colors for this Gua: Green & Black
The Elements for this Gua: Wood & Water
What not to have in this gua:
-Clutter (stagnant energy = stagnant results)
-Dirt and dust (attracts negative energy)
-Broken things (family relationships)
-Dead plants, dried flowers and/or the ashes of a loved one(dead things attract dead energy)
-Metal (When it comes to the elements -Metal cuts Wood and you do not 
want that here...so no Metal beds)
-White stuff ( represents Metal)
-Round things (represents Metal)
-Dying Trees a.ka. Charlie Brown Trees (unhealthy trees represent unhealthy family members)

Have a wonderful night! :)

Love/Relationships - This Gua sits on the upper-right hand corner of the Bagua. This gua is about love and your significant other but it's also about the other types of relationships that we have in our lives. Friends, family and co-workers. The root word in relationship is "relate". So the question
you have to ask yourself is; How do the items in my environment (home or office) relate to one another?
Now take a walk over to this section of your home and take a good look
at it and see how it looks but also sense how it feels too...Does it feel and look loved and loving? Is this space full of unloved things? Do you see things that make you think of a "Couple"? Does it look inviting? Does it say "Welcome guests"? Is this space a disorganized mess? Do you have old and broken items here? Is this a storage room full of items from the past? Do you see what I am getting at here...what you keep in this area of your home affects the relationships that you have in your life...it really is as simple as that.
Note: If you are divorced and looking for love having your old wedding albums in your closet of your Master bedroom is probably not a good way to attract a new love in your life. Everything and I do mean EVERYTHING in your home affects your life either in a positive or in a negative way.
What can this part of the Bagua help you to attract into your life?
-Marriage or moving in with the one you love
-Finding "the one"
-Having a better relationship with your significant other
-Getting along with family, friends and coworkers
-Putting the spice back into your marriage/relationship
The best colors: Red, Pink, White
When you think of love the above colors usually come to mind so 
put these colors in this area. However, "Cures" do not have to be seen to work. If you do not want your walls covered in "Pink" then just add the color pink in a drawer, closet or in some part of the decor. The intention is 
there and every time you see whatever you put there, it will remind you of what you want to attract.
Elements:
The element for this gua is Earth
What not to have in this gua:
-Clutter (stagnant energy = stagnant results)
-Dirt and dust (attracts negative energy)
-Broken things (broken promises, relationships)
-Too much water (water and earth creates Mud - YUCK)
-Dead plants, dried flowers and/or the ashes of a loved one(dead things attract dead energy)
-Games (you don't want to be playing games...do you?)
-Pictures of unhappy people
Cures" to place in this gua:
-Plants (the earth in the pot and the growth of relationships)
-Art that have couples in it (no pictures with single men or women here)
-Things in two's (2 Doves, 2 candles, 2 chairs, 2 dressers, 2 end tables)
-Flowers
-Symbols that mean "Love" to you (Romantic items)
-Mirrors

#2 is the number for this gua as in 2 people in a relationship.
Next week we will learn about the FAMILY gua. Enjoy your evening!

We are moving onto FAME/REPUTATION... Are you ready?
Fame/Reputation - This Gua is located in the middle of the top section of the Bagua. It represents who you want to be known as or what you would like accomplish in this lifetime. It refers to fame such as in public recognition, wanting to become a well known actor, doctor, or business person. Or just being recognized as a loving mother, a nurturing father or an inspiring Teacher. No matter who you are or what you do, everyone should be recognized for a job well done!
What can this part of the Bagua help you to attract into your life?
-A good reputation and keep it protected
-Business increases or improves
-You get the credit you finally deserve
-You gain respect from your spouse, family, coworkers, friends and even strangers
-You become very well known for what you do
The best colors: Red and Green (green represents the Wood element, which means it feed your FIRE)
Like we talked about yesterday, Red is a wonderful color and can benefit you when used in moderation. Having too much Red around you can make you feel anxious and angry and obviously you do not want that so choose wisely when adding the color Red to your home or office.
Elements:
The 2 elements to add to this gua are Fire and Wood. Fire is the main element but Wood is also a good choice because Wood feeds the fire.
What not to have in this gua:
-Clutter (stagnant energy = stagnant results)

-Water (puts out the fire)
-Dead plants, dried flowers and/or the ashes of a loved one(dead things attract dead energy)

-Woodend decor - picture frames, decorative piece, furniture

-Recognition items - Awards, diplomas, certificates of appreciation
-Lighting
#1 is the number for this gua. After all, with fame and reputation, it's all about you and you alone.
Remember if you have any questions, please post them here.
Next week we will learn about the RELATIONSHIP/ LOVE gua. Have a great evening everyone!

Do you have your Bagua ready? Did you figure out how to place it over your floor plan? 
Prosperity/Wealth/Abundance - This Gua is of course about attracting money but it is also about having Abundance in all areas of your life and feeling an Abundance of Gratitude and Love for all the people and things that you do have in your life today. Appreciation and feeling prosperous is step one!
What can this part of the Bagua help you to attract into your life?
-a salary increase
-ways to make more money with your business
-wealth for all the good things in life i.e. a dream car or vacation
-money to help others
The best colors: Purple, Red, Green, Royal Blue and Gold
The colors you surround yourself with have a powerful impact on your moods. The color Red is considered auspicious and powerful. Think of walking the red carpet or wearing a red dress. How does that color make you feel? Powerful, Confident, In control, Anger, Overwhelmed, Anxious?
Purple, Green, Royal Blue and Gold are also key colors for attracting prosperity but if you don't like any of these colors then painting a wall in one of these colors wouldn't benefit you because the feeling that you have for that color will attract a negative outcome instead of a positive one. However, if you love purple then paint a wall any shade of purple that you like or add a "Lavender" throw to your couch. It's not just filling your home with stuff — it's about decorating with mindfulness and enhancing the vibration and power of your own home.
Elements:
The elements to add to this gua are Wood and Water. If your home office is located in the Wealth gua of your home I would recommend two things: 1st - use a wooden desk rather than a metal desk to bring in the wood element.
2nd -place a black table top fountain onto your desk. *This fountain has 3 cures attached to it: 
1st - the water in the fountain brings in the water element
2nd - the color black represents the water element 
3rd - placing this fountain in your wealth area of your home as well as on your desk is an added bonus
What not to have in this gua:
-Clutter (stagnant energy = the money flow is stagnant)
-Dirt and dust (attracts negative energy)
-Broken things (if you are feeling broke, look for broken things in this area)
-Fireplaces (don't burn your money)
-Dead plants, dried flowers and/or the ashes of a loved one(dead things attract dead energy)
-Toilets (If you have a toilet here keep the lid down as much as possible 
so your money won't be flushed down the toilet)
-Trash cans (attracts negative energy)
"Cures" to place in this gua:
-Water fountain (flow of money)
-Wooden furniture (the element for this area)
-Using the colors mentioned above in your paint, pillows, furniture and decor
-Round-leaved plants (a Jade or African violet plant or any healthy plant but NO Cactus here please)
-Symbols that remind you of wealth and abundance (piggy banks, actual money, jewelry)
-Do you have your Feng Shui Dream Board ready to hang up? (if not then 
take a minute to sign up for my Feng Shui Dream Board Workshop which is on Sunday January 17th) If you do, then this would be a great area of your home to hang it as it reminds you of your goals, the wealth, abundance and opportunities that you want to attract.
#8 is the most powerful money manifesting number so use it in this gua.
Remember if you have any questions, please post them here.
Next week we will be learn about the FAME gua. Have a great night!
