While bunkbeds have always been popular for space saving in a room as well as fun for kids, they are not the best for your child’s health or their sleep.

Bunk beds suppress chi (vital energy) which creates a heaviness for the one sleeping on the bottom bunk.  The one at the top has little space between the child and the ceiling so the same issue exists.   You need to be creative with remedies for these types of beds.

No beds with drawers underneath as the chi or energy needs to flow all around the child for optimum health.  Stuff underneath causes stagnation. [Read more…]

I spent over 18 yrs. in medical sales and attended hundreds of medical conventions over that time.  I remember one of my most interesting.  It was the Society of Reproductive and Fertility Surgeons annual meeting in Dallas, Tx.  There were over 4,000 physicians from all over the world attending this convention to learn or improve on infertility. Who would have thought it would be such a huge business?  Hundreds of thousands of dollars are spent each year on infertility drugs and procedures.  It seemed like such a paradox to me since there are so many unwanted children in the world.  Unwanted children but people paying to get pregnant?  I found this intriguing.

In my feng shui practice I have had clients with this issue. Tell all your friends who have been trying to get pregnant that feng shui can do wonders.  If you recall in previous blog posts, we have mentioned that feng shui is not a magic bullet, it is not a spell, or anything “woo woo”.  It is all about moving energy. The core concept in feng shui is Chi (energy).  The ancients found that everything in the universe is made up of energy, even a tiny fetus or a soul. [Read more…]

The song by Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, “Love The One You’re With”, is one of my  favorites.  It makes so much sense.  If you don’t have a lover, romantic partner, mate,  you always have you.  Actually you are the starting point.  Loving ourselves draws healthy love to us.  Listen to the song if you like.  Turn up the volume. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5IVuN1N6-Y

In feng shui, the art of harmonious object placement, we seek to bring nature into our environments.  As practitioners, we arrange spaces to mimic nature. We might bring in plants, water features, candles, etc. to represent the five elements  so we feel connected to nature.

In nature there is an order, a flow.  It is called, “The Way” or The Tao in chinese philosophy.  Ancient China was an agrarian society.  People farmed, fished, and grew crops for food and sustenance.  The ancients observed nature for everything.  They did not have books or philosophers to tell them how to think or what to believe.

Many ancient cultures like the Mayans, Indians, Native Americans and Egyptians, did the same thing.  Observance of the four seasons, the sun and moon cycles gave key information into nature’s order. [Read more…]
