practice feng shui

I finally got around to buying a book last night for Feng Shui in a dorm room. I’m trading rooms with my brother this summer (so I can get used to having a tiny living space) so I figured I’d just model my room after a dorm room. I can’t wait to get started!

I finished the book on Clear your Clutter with Feng Shui. It was a good read…helped to motivate me a bit.

I’ve tried to declutter. Easier said than done, but each step is a closer step to the balance and harmony that I seek. The yard work was huge the last couple of days…but still lots to do.

I need to start drinking green tea in the day as that seems to give me a fair bit of energy…gotta stop the coffee. I put way too much creamer in it. It’s a matter of one’s whole environment….

I feel much more peaceful that the yard is looking better.

I’ve heard that one should receive a bagua mirror but not buy one for oneself. I bought a bagua mirror for my daughter….and hung it above her front door when I went over a week ago.

Yesterday I bought a money frog and put it in my office at the door facing inward.

I haven’t cleaned much in the last week so today I need to reduce my clutter and let the energy flow….

I received my book today on Clear your clutter with Feng Shui. I think it should be a good read.

I think once you feel that feng shui principles have merit and will work for you, it becomes an ongoing way of life that you practice daily. Not like a religion, but more like remembering you must bring harmony and balance to your life and your surroundings on a consistent basis.

I bought a book last year Feng Shui for Dummies. It’s actually a good book. I just bought another one that I should be receiving soon…Clear Your Clutter With Feng Shui.

I bought a bagua for my daughter’s house. I read that it is not good to buy one for oneself, but rather they should be given to you.

I am in the midst of moving my bedroom to the Love/Relationship area and switching my office to the front of the house where it is the Influential People & Travels / Careers

The only thing that perplexes me is that it seems like a bathroom is a bad thing to have in the house ;)

When I’m done my house, I’m going to then do my yard….

I bought some papers and covered the mirror doors of my wardrobe, it actually looks better now without always having my reflection there every time i turn around. This is something my mum ‘wants’ me to do, she’s more into the negative effects of having the mirrors than i am. Picture is taken on a side, floor to ceiling, so yes it is a big mirror. ;)

I can’t believe that the last time my mum cleaned my room was 6months ago. It’s not in a state of mess at presence but the thing that has been bothering me is the closet mirror doors, 2 full length mirror sliding doors right at the foot of my queen size bed. I’ve always had a suspicion about it but recently my mums been telling me to cover them up as it’s metaphorically draining all the good vibe, harmony, fortune, and basically the elements of success (Is it possible it’s indirectly contributing to my lack of financial stability?).

Heres what i found on the net:-

“The use of mirrors in your home can create energies that are either very good or very bad, and bedroom mirrors are strictly taboo. Believed to cause infidelity and bad luck, avoid them in this room, particularly opposite the foot of your bed. If you must include them, drape them with cloth or suppress the negative energy with plants or wind chimes.”

I’m going to cover it up, it won’t hurt if i do but if i don’t, i’ll never know if it’s the cause.

In the next few days, I’ll be feng shui-ing my bedroom. I need something different in there or whatnot. I’ve already drawn my chart and what goes where, them some small purchases and I’m set. I’ll post pics when done!

Went online and found a neat ‘grid’ to follow. I love my bedroom. I already had good placement for some stuff, but I am decluttered and have added pictures and splashes of color in the appropriate places. This is the web address of the site I found:
