I believe with a help of Feng Shui we can all be the football owner of our life!

The concept of yin and yang, five elements and Chi are the most essential and fundamental components in Feng Shui.

The symbol of yin and yang is an ancient Chinese cosmology. The interaction between yin and yang create a life force or chi. Yin and yang are two opposing truth in the universe, and one does not exist without the other.

For instance, when we compare a black and white, black is yin and white is yang.

Or, when we compare a feminine and masculine, female is yin and male is yang.

That is why yin and yang are introduced as a complement source in the nature and humans life.

In addition to that, the five elements which is water, wood, fire, earth and metal plays a vital role in  our surroundings. These elements are not actual elements, but sort of continuously changing energy. The constant changes between the seasons are a good example. Spring represent wood, while summer symbolizes fire, autumn stand for metal and finally winter signifies water. However earth is an exception and is represent in all season.

The elements are interacting in a productive cycle, destructive cycle and weakening cycle.Therefore the interaction between these cycle generates balance or imbalance.

Stay with me, and learn more about the five elements  in my next post!

On the 4^th of February each year it’s time for everyone to start to prepare them self for the changes of the energy of the earth.

This is the time which the animal sign of the year will change and in Fact this year we are going to have the Metal Tiger as our guest.

The Metal Tiger is not very friendly with us and its shows that there is a conflict and clash within the heavenly stem and earthly branch. Therefore it’s advisable to use more Fire and water color in your interior such as red- purple –orange or black and blue as a water element.

In Chinese calendar 4^th of February is the beginning of the spring called Li Chun.

For the purpose of Feng  Shui and Four pillar of destiny (Chinese chart reading) it’s necessary for everyone to update the Feng Shui of their home and working place. This will help us to enhance and energized the positive side of the year and de-energized, cure and be aware of the negativity and destructive side of the Tiger.

As you may be aware about the Feng  Shui knowledge, Feng Shui is not a general fix for every house and each place has their own energy map. Cure and enhancements are based on the direction of the house and date of birth of the residents . However I thought it would be helpful for all my dearest Feng Shui Clients, Friends and mentors to be aware of the Feng Shui up- date and help them make some changes in 2010 in their life.

One of the method in Feng Shui is called flying star which is the most used and beneficial system. This method is based on 9 numbers and each number represents different type of energy. Some of them carrying a positive and prosper Chi and some have a very negative influence.

3 affliction :

These sections convey uncomfortable and harmful energy which you should be aware of and take it into your consideration. I am going to explain to you in a next couple of line about each section and what are the does and don’t. But before that you should remember the golden rule and that is:

You should not disturb the Five Yellow, Tai Sui and 3 killing with renovation, digging and knocking.

Southwest:  Five Yellow, occupies from 202.5 -247.5 degrees of each building

Flying star number 5 create obstacle and troublesome for the Southwest section and bring misfortune.

To avoid bad luck you should hang 6 rod hollow metal wind chime in the Southwest.

Avoid using fire color such as red- purple – pink and rich orange. Candle is not advisable as well.

Northeast: Tai Sui or Grand Duke Jupiter, occupies from 52.5-67.5 degrees of each building

Flying star number 2 is the strongest of killing energy and carries sickness.

To avoid illness you should place a 6 metal coins to dissolve the bad influence.

You should not  facing towards   the Tai sui

North: Sam sart or 3 killing, occupies between337.5-22.5 degrees of each building

3killing brings loss and misfortune.

It is advisable not to sit with the 3killing behind you.

Unfavorable section:

South: legal action

Flying star number 3 brings argument, fight and conflict in one’s life.

To avoid that you should use fire element such as “Red color” in this section of your place.

Southeast: complication

Flying star number 7 means violence and misfortune in life.

To avoid the bad influence of this number you can place a bamboo stick.

Favorable section

Flying star number 8 is located in the center of the home. This is the most positive section of each house in the year 2010. To enhance and get the benefit from this auspicious number you should activate this section of your house with crystal- chandelier or warm color.  This is if, the center of the house is located in the good section and not somewhere like bathroom or storage.

The west- East and Northwest section are signifying positive and prosper energy and if it’s possible you should spend more time is this area.

Have a happy Feng Shui day

De-Cluttering

This week one of my very good friends has a plan to move to her beautiful new apartment. While we were chatting on the phone and discussing about what to take with her self and how she should pack her stuff it’s just occurred to me that now it’s a best time for her and her husband to get rid of their clutter. In this way she is not only taking the pieces she need but more importantly she is moving only the item she likes.

While I was speaking about that with her I just thought it’s a great idea if I share some very easy and basic tips with you. So it can help you if you are also in the process to moving to the new place. Or even if you stay in your current place maybe it’s a good time to create new energy to your house and invite better opportunity in your life. So there you go:

1-     De-clutter and cleanse your house with joyness.

2-     Remove the item you don’t like and only keep the pieces you love and offer you a blessing.

3-     Give away the stuff you don’t need. This is a rule of thumb when it comes to cleaning up and freeing from clutter. Being generous involves giving away stuff you don’t really get to use. What you won’t use for a long time and collect dust may actually be an answer to somebody else’s problems. Just make sure that you are not transferring clutter but something that can really be of use to the person you are giving it to. You can also divided it in to 4 section:

a-      the items that you want to give to charity

b-     the things that you want to give it to friends

c-      the one’s you want to sell

d-     the items that are going to the garbage

in this way its make it very easy for you to start de- cluttering.

4-     While working on a project, clean as you go. This means that you will not just leave stuff lying around on the table as you do your work. This ensures that the work space remains clean, and this also implies that you are open for more productive work in the future since the space is wiped free of any traces from previously done work.

5-     Don’t keep anything under the bed

6-     Keep the kitchen free on any expired food.

7-     Paper work- mails – try a clean desk

I am sure you have a pile of paper which you think one day you are going to check them but as you know better than me I guarantee this day will never arrive. So let’s start it right now. Throw out the mail you don’t need and try to keep it as a daily habit. In this way your desk will never cover with the pile of paper.

8- Remove or give away the bad memories.

9- Moping the house once a month with salt and water.

10- Fix all leaking pipes – clean all the dirty window and open the window when ever climate allow you to bring the fresh air in your place.

Sounds like a lot of work but it will open your house for new energy.

Try it.

Yours Proshat Lehmann
