Feng Shui Your Thanksgiving for Abundance

by Leave a Comment

Thanksgiving tableIn the world of Feng Shui, abundance is a key word.  Who doesn’t want abundance in their lives?  One of the ways to allow abundance to flow is through GRATITUDE.

At Thanksgiving time, it is  one of the times millions of families get together to give thanks.  Giving thanks says to the universe that you appreciate your life and all your blessings.  This action creates a movement of more good things to come your way.

Unfortunately, the holidays can be a depressing, argumentative time for some people.  Getting a head start in your mind  and actions will make for a happy and stress free, day of Gratitude.  Intend to have a harmonious, fun, and stress-free holiday.

Here are some Auspicious Decorating Tips for inviting good chi into your home with the Thanksgiving holiday:

  1. Add Reds.  Red is the fire element and it invites prosperity.  Red candles, tableclothes, fresh flowers, etc.
  2. Use pairs.  Set your dining table up in pairs.  2, 4, 6, 8 chairs create harmony.
  3. Create an Abundance Table.  Bring out your best stuff. Go all out with decor, colors, candles, to create a feeling of abundance and wealth.  Add golds for wealth energy.  Plate mirrors expand the abundance.
  4. Add Scents.  For energizing use eucalyptus.  For calming, lavender.  Pine, cedar, and cinnamon are also good ones.  Not too many but a spritzer or diffuser with essential oils can do the trick.  A warm baked pie or cookies in the oven always works well.  Scents move energy creating a feeling of flow.
  5. Add Earth.  Thanksgiving represents “the bounty” and earth is its element.  Ceramic and pottery dishes and serving pieces do the job nicely.  Bringing in yellows and orange colors also help.
  6. Clean.  Clean your home thoroughly before company arrives.  Dust creates stagnant energy.  Take care of kitchen, bathrooms, and bedrooms beforehand as they all are important in feng shui . This will set the energy for a clean slate to begin to entertain when guests arrive.
  7. Show Gratitude.  Ask all your guests to say something they are grateful for as you begin your meal.  Let your guests know how grateful you are to be spending time with them.  “What you have you will get more of”, is an energetic  prosperity law.  So if you have good friends over dinner  it is said you will have more of them in your future.
  8. Give to your favorite Charity.  Giving back brings good fortune your way.  It is not the reason to do it, it just happens to increase your money flow.  I go to the bank and get a bundle of dollar bills.  I give them out all month to homeless on the streets along with either protein bars, water, or nuts.  Many have their dogs with them so I have some packaged dog food to give out.
  9. Give Service in some way.  Do something extra for your customers that they might not expect.  I know of a realtor who delivered fresh pumpkins to many of her customers throughout the month.

The design tips work for your business space if entertaining during this time.  Call us for our Holiday Decorating Package.  We can help you decorate your living, dining, foyer, or lobby of your business to save you time and make for a prosperous event.

Feng Shui for happy pets

by

40208203_SInviting a pet into your home allows fire energy to permeate your life and your space. Pets can banish depression, unhappiness and lethargy in humans. The fire energy from your furry friend can greatly enhance the passion you feel for life. By practicing Feng Shui, you can create wonderful energy with a pet by your side.

As any good pet owner knows, you want to be attentive to your pets, taking great care of their every need. Neglected pets can invite very negative energy into your life. The way you treat other humans, animals and even plants can greatly impact your own energy. Give pets all the love, attention and care they deserve.

Pure, clean water is essential to your pet’s health and happiness. Take care to change your pet’s water each day. If you have an aquarium, change the water often as dirty water can allow wealth and prosperity to elude you. Promote good Feng Shui by giving your pet its own special area. Be it a specific pillow, bed or corner, honoring your beloved animal with its own space near the left corner or the center position of the far wall in your home will benefit your entire household. Include photos of your pet throughout your home, especially when introducing a new animal into your family. Utilizing natural wood frames will also help boost your pet’s natural fire energy.

Ensure that you are the master of your pet, or other people may begin to take advantage of you in life. Avoid feeding your animal scraps or human food. Though some folks will disagree, it’s best not to permit your pets to sleep in your bed, as this can be detrimental to human relationships and intimacy. Animals will often avoid areas in the home where energy, or chi, is stagnating. Pay attention to where your pet spends the majority of its time. This may clue you in to areas of your home that need attention or adjustments to generate better energy flow.

If your animal is showing signs of distress, chances are they are reacting to an energetic imbalance in their environment. Disruptive or negative energy can trigger behavioral problems like excessive barking, chewing, improper bathroom habits or aggression. Animals are extremely sensitive to changes, noises and unfamiliar situations. If an animal is acting out, it’s a great time to assess the issues that could be creating discomfort or unease in your home or life. If in doubt, Design for Energy can perform a consultation in your home or pet-related business to determine how you can invite positive energy back into your space for the benefit of both you and your furry friends.

20100520_M Wedding season is just around the corner and the stress to plan the biggest day of your life can be crushing. With so many details to remember, decisions to make and tasks to complete, it can take a toll on even the most organized bride. Before you finalize all your big plans, consider incorporating Feng Shui into your event and space to ensure a prosperous and abundant marriage.

Feng Shui can make a huge difference in the success of not only your magical evening, but your life of wedded bliss. Design for Energy is here to help and we love consulting with brides-to-be about locations, outdoor venues, landscaping, colors, seating arrangements and all the details that should be considered for a perfect event. In thinking how to incorporate Feng Shui into your wedding plans we have a few simple recommendations for couples to consider while you let Design for Energy handle the rest.

Stay Within Your Budget
Spending money within your budget will help to set a a good trajectory for wealth in your future. Overspending may cause you to set a bad precedent, while being miserly may discourage wealth from blessing your new family. The key here is balance. Dedicate enough money to properly celebrate this momentous event but stay within your means.

Remain Calm and Carry On
It is incredibly important that the bride and groom do not argue on the big day in order to launch a successful marriage. Weddings can be stressful, so it’s important to communicate and avoid arguments and upsets. However, it is also important not to avoid your partner on the wedding day, as this could lead to distance in the relationship. Make an effort to spend some quality time together on the big day.

Smile
While your smile may get tired from so many photos, it’s important to remember to keep your pearly whites showing. Smiling promotes a huge outpouring of energetic love, happiness and good luck. You want your married life to be endowed with loving, happy energy, so harness that with your smile.

You’re well on your way to creating the most memorable day of your life. Let Design for Energy help to make the most of your event while promoting longevity and success in your marriage.

Feng Shui For Successful and Harmonious Weddings

by Leave a Comment

 

lovebirdsA wedding is a very special and big event and with all big events, should be done as large and grand as possible. This day is very similar to Chinese New Year and is symbolic.  Everything you do will set the tone for the years to come.  Elegance, family, fun, joy, romance, etc. There are certain do’s and don’ts of the day and we at Design For Energy, Austin, Tx.,  have written some of them below to help you get you started.

 1) Choose an auspicious day for the both of you to ensure that your wedding day brings in a lot of good luck  and as they say with all big milestones in life “Begin as you plan to continue!”   There are many feng shui almanacs online or a feng shui professional like Belinda Mendoza can help you with this.

2) Choose an auspicious time for your wedding ceremony to start (this will be the time you write down on your invites) so that you really do get the best luck possible during your special day.

3) Get a good photographer for lot of great photos on this day and frame the best ones to place in your home. This will create a really good atmosphere for love and romance in the home and will also bring a lot of Sheng (positive) Chi in to the home.  Place photos of wedding couple in the bedroom.  Place other family photos in living room or hallways.  Design For Energy can help you set up your home for a new start if you need help there.

 4) As far as your budget will allow you, it is generally considered that a big, expensive car (a fancy cart in the older days) will help bring great wealth to you in the future. Obviously weddings can be a VERY expensive day so make sure that you do not go over your budget when renting a car as this can cause money to leak from savings in the future as with Feng Shui, everything must be done in scale. If you can’t afford a big fancy car I would not worry too much, the key to getting this perfect is to only spend what you can afford; if you can afford a big rolls Royce, by all means get one but if you are on a budget make sure that you spend what you are happy with as this will set a good balance with wealth for the future.

5) Try to make your wedding flowers as big and as beautiful as you can afford. Fresh cut flowers symbolize good Sheng Chi (Good luck) and make great gifts for guests to take away to share your new luck but make sure that you dispose of the flowers once they start to wilt. One way of preserving the flowers would be to clip a top off and press a beautiful flower head in a wedding scrapbook; you can find information on flower pressing online.

6) It is very important that you do not argue on your wedding day as this can start the marriage off in a bad way. Weddings can be a very stressful day with trying to make sure that everything goes perfectly so if you do happen to have cross words with each other at any stage of the day, apologize to each other straight away and move on.

7) A wedding is a massive social event but be sure that you do not neglect spending time with your new partner on this day when you are busy socializing with your family and friends as this could lead to a distant relationship in the future. This doesn’t mean that you have to be joined at the hip with your new partner all day long but make time with your loved one on this day.   We like that some people supply a lot of pairs of Mandarin ducks to place on the tables at their wedding for each guest to take home as a momento.  It is believed that sharing the bride and grooms good luck on the day also helps the recipient and is considered good luck to everyone who receives them.

Hope these few tips were helpful in either planning or executing your wedding day.  Belinda Mendoza, Feng Shui Master, Austin, Tx., is available for event planning advice, feng shui design of banquet hall, feng shui advice for planning your wedding, life guidance readings for the couple, energy work for the couple on their wedding day, and energy clearings of space for successful outcomes.  Call for your Free 30 minute phone assessment and money making session anytime.
