Some recent events in my life pushed me to feel like a big tree growing another strong branch !

Indeed, new interests have developed in the last few years and are now part of who I am today. These changes made my Feng Shui approach much stronger and my personal links with Nature and the Universe more loving.

I let go of the old website to launch (currently a simple one page) the updated version of myself to discover on www.fengshuisteps.com.au

The best email address to contact me these days is

Looking forward to reading from you!

Feng Shui Aquarium

Dear Roseline, I just discovered your blog and I’d like to ask you a question about my aquarium. What is the best number of fish and which colours? Currently I have 9 fish: 1 orange cleaning windows, 1 grey cleaning floors, 6 red/orange ones and 1 black. I’d like to know which place is best in the home to place it so that I can run a successful business from home. – Thank you for your answer – Camille (France)

Dear Camille,

Thank you for your question that will help many readers!

1. Number of Fish
   9 Fish is very auspicious in Chinese Feng Shui, so you are already on the right track! 🙂
   What is really essential is that your aquarium is large enough for those 9 fish to live and swim comfortably. A little round bowl wouldn’t be good 😦  !
   If any of the fish dies, please replace it immediately.
   Avoid placing the aquarium near EMF, which means near TV, power boxes, router etc.
2. Fish Colours
   Chinese Fneg Shui recommends red/orange fish and 1 black. Personally, I do like all fish colours, so I make sure that I have at least 3 red/orange and 1 black, the others will be multi coloured ones. So, what you currently have is perfect!
3. GOOD Aquarium Placement
   Best spots for aquarium are either:
   – near your main entry door (right hand side)
   – in sector ‘1’ (Career, Life Path)
   – in sectors ‘3’ or ‘4’ – to encourage Health (3) and Abundance (4)
   – in sector ‘6’ (Help & Travels) best for you to increase number of clients that you are helping with your work and who help you in return by paying your fees.
   How to place the Magic Square – Feng Shui Grid onto your premises, see my previous blog articles.
4. AVOID by all means!
   NEVER place an aquarium (nor water fountain, nor photo of waterfalls, rivers etc) in sector ‘2’ – your relationship would ‘float away’ – NOR in sector ‘9’ – it would ruin your reputation.

Best regards,

Dear Roseline, We have been here in our new home 2 and a bit years and my family and I have all felt displaced and unsettled. Something is not quite right! Your advice would be appreciated. – Jordan, Australia

Dear Jordan,

There are many reasons why someone would feel unsettled. I will list only a few with dot points – this list is far from being exhaustive!

Could be that…

• Was this new house built on a aboriginal burial site?
• Do you still long to your old home?
• Did you say goodbye to your old house (equally important if you rented or owned it) ?
• Did you take with you in this new home newly bought antiques or mirrors that had been used by another person?
• Did you bring in with you in this new place objects of recently deceased people?
• Is your house located near one of those really high electric poles? or high electric fields?
• Is your new place ‘closed in’ and were you used before to have a large garden or lived on a big property?
• What is across of your main entry door?

More details from you would be welcomed so I could give you further suggestions. Cheers!

I am happy to help all my readers help themselves with Feng Shui tips.
Even though this blog doesn’t replace a Feng Shui consultation with me, I do welcome simple questions via email to which I will answer by placing an article on this blog so that all followers can learn.

Feng Shui – Back to Basics

Always a good refresher!

Feng Shui, two Chinese words Feng = Wind, Shui = Water. These two words translate in our world today as the “Art of Placement”. Through famous author Lillian Too who wrote over 100 books on the topic – these two Chinese words can often be daunting and confusing for many. There are many approaches (Schools) of Feng Shui; those that I follow, that I use for consultations, and that I teach to anyone who wish to become a Feng Shui consultant, are inspired by the Black Hat School and the Form Schools. That Feng Shui approach is easy to follow and based more on static magic square, intuition and landscapes, rather than worry of Compass directions (the latest being a more typical Asian approach).
Where our ancestors placed their huts/homes centuries ago, was based on common sense certainly protecting themselves and their family from cold winds (Feng) and floods or excess of water (Shui). This existed in ALL countries – yes, worldwide – hence why what we refer to Feng Shui today can be applied in all cultures while respecting some basic principles.

Chi is the most important component of Feng Shui. Chi is a life essence, a motivating force. It animates all things. This word could also be a synonym of cosmic breath or energy.

There are 3 different types of Chi that influence our lives:

1. Chi animates our bodies
The quality of our personal Chi can be improved with daily exercises, good food and a balanced life. It is part of your choices and responsibilities.

2. Chi circulates in the Earth
The Earth energies influence our health. Underground water veins and ley lines have to be detected before completing a physical healing process.

3. Chi permeates the universe
We cannot change our time of birth nor the stars in the sky at that particular moment. Feng Shui relates this to Heaven Chi. In order to help us achieve life changes, consider heaven on earth and project it onto your home, sometimes to your office and daily surroundings. Placing your furniture to promote a gentle Chi flow alters your lives for the better! Would your astrology forecasts an accident on a particular day, having a correct Chi flow around you will decrease the strength of your life lesson and for example, you might just twist your ankle rather than crashing your new car.

Each kind of Chi influences the other. All of us possess a personal Chi. We vibrate; our aura expands and retracts depending on our health and moods. Our cells continually regenerate, yet our basic self is the same, that constant self is our personal Chi. Chi is the essence maintaining our physical and emotional balance, our environmental stability and the universal equilibrium.

Chi flows fast, slow, up, down, high low, in, out. It also rises, falls, sinks, floats, bends, twists, curves, inflates, and deflates.

Chi travels along curves, waves, spirals, mazes, labyrinths or straight lines. It pulses through electrical fields and disperses with the wind.

Bad Chi
Negative Chi is called Sha Chi. Chi becomes Sha Chi when it carries unfavourable currents that will affect you negatively.

Sha Chi drips. It oozes through cracks, holes, broken windows and chipped items. It accumulates and stagnates in dead corners and sharp angles. Sha Chi is aggravated by bad smells, too bright lights and loud irritating noises. Sha Chi can be felt, sensed, smelled, heard and tasted. It is dangerous, sharp, rotten, contaminated, polluted, toxic and painful. It can be internal or external, hidden or apparent and it affects physical, mental, spiritual and social conditions.  Sha Chi is also produced on a grand scale by geographical faults and fissures in the earth.

Good Chi meanders

Sha Chi speeds

Easy Exercise about the Chi concept:

Look at your home with ‘Feng Shui’ eyes: do you feel that you have too many straight lines, a long corridor or any other Sha Chi around?

Get inspired from the cartoon illustrations and find your own ideas to turn Sha Chi into Chi to quickly reap the benefits – it often takes less than 9 days to feel the difference.

Relationship challenged

Tags

child bedroom, child clinging, control, Deleu, difficult child, feng shui, frames, love, relationship, rivalry, Roseline, stubborn, tips

Dear Roseline,

Sorry to say but the relationship with my husband is rather challenging. He is impatient with our 3 y.o. son who is very stubborn (like his dad and myself) so as a matter of fact our couple is suffering. I can’t seem to speak kindly, feeling too tense; on top of that, my husband wants to control me (and everything) non-stop and does nothing.
Would you have some Feng Shui tips for us all? For the moment the rivalry between our son and his dad has the child clinging to me constantly.
Thank you so much – A.X.

It is essential to have all frames at the same level – BUT here above, the example translates into two couples divorcing: a woman looks away, the man on the right too, while the couple in the middle are looking at each other – the middle couple are the two lovers who are together now!

Dear A.X.,

A few suggestions as I don’t have many of your personal details:

1. I hope that your 3 y.o. sleeps in his bedroom and not in your marital bed
2. Place a photo of the 3 of you on his bedside table at your child’s eyes height
3. Display a recent happy and smiling photo of your couple somewhere in your apartment and/or in your master bedroom (photo without the element of water – so no lake, no ocean, no river etc)
4. Are all your frames hanging at the same height?  Indeed, in your case it is essential – because having one on top of the other or one higher that the other would translate into having one of you in the couple being ‘above’ the other… so in other words: ‘controlling’
5. Do you have equal access to both (each) side of your marital bed? If bed is stuck in a corner and only one is accessible then only one person in the couple has a say the other one not.

Feng Shui Yours,

House # 9

The house numbers ‘3’ and ‘8’ have been posted last week. Today let’s have a look at the number ‘9’. House numbers are believed to influence our lives to a certain extend.

Illustration of this article show a house number  ’27’ which when we add  2+7 = 9. It also resonates with both number 2 and 7 number that will be important to read in my next posts.

Of course there is much more than a simple number to influence your life!

Nine is an auspicious number in Feng Shui and symbolizes completion, recognition, acknowledgement, fame and emotional well-being.

Living in an ‘9’ house, to a several digits number adding to ‘9’ or a house number containing ‘9’ in the digits, has a positive influence on its inhabitants.

Buying or living in a ‘9’ house could well be the place where you reach your full potential, get that promotion, start and finish all the projects that you always dreamed of. All this and more can happen as long as your sector ‘9’ in your garden and inside your home – of course – carry the energies of the Fire element!

Emotional health is so important in our lives, living with a positive and constructive attitude can lead you to wonderful life experiences.  🙂

Living in a ‘9’ house will help all inhabitants review where they are in their lives today and re-evaluate on a regular basis. They then grow towards a emotionally balanced and strong being and a happy family.

I really like this entrance from a Feng Shui point of view, lots of positive points:

• Path leading to the house is equal width than the entry door
• Rectangular stones are strong and wide (rather than having chosen the tiny square ones)
• River pebbles (Metal element) give the idea of a ‘river’ so the flow going to the house
• Beautiful, neat and clean door smiles and welcomes you

What would I suggest?

• I’d probably change the two wooden poles holding the mailbox. One taller than the other may give the idea that one person in the couple may feel not equal to the other. The two pieces also lean on each other.
• I’d add a circular ornament in the middle of the 4 windows on the left wall. For example, I ‘d see an empty circle made of moss, the green colour will uplift this white wall and balance with the round pot with green plant on the right hand side of the entry door. If you don’t like the moss idea, any other circular feature on that wall would be good.

House #3

In my last post, I mentioned a few insights on number ‘8’ houses. Today, let’s have a look at the number ‘3’. House numbers are believed to be influencing our lives. Illustrations of this article show a house number 93 which when we add 9+3 = 12 -> 1+2 =3.

Of course there is much more than a simple number to influence your life!

Three is an auspicious number in Feng Shui and symbolizes the past, respect, health and family.
Thus, it looks like living in an ‘3’ house, to a several digits number adding to ‘3’ or a house number containing ‘3’ in the digits, has a positive influence on its inhabitants. Buying or living in a ‘3’ house is known as being a place where inhabitants will be solving things from the past, family or/and health.

People say that most of the health challenges come from emotional imbalance – thus, the way that you managed your emotions in the past during challenging events. Living in a ‘3’ house will help you review it all and encourage you to reconsider a few points within your today understanding.

When realising that in any case, it is no-body else’s fault and that blaming is way out of fashion – you will make steps towards wisdom, personal researches and new choices that will take you to the path of perfect health, appreciating your past and family they way they are rather that the way you’d like them to be. In a ‘3’ house, you start respecting yourself and take responsibility for your actions.

The way to perfect health is following doctor’s orders and combining them with good food, sport, positive attitude + with a good Feng Shui House Entry as well as the correct position of your bed.

The example of this ’93’ house is actually all what you’d like to avoid as this entry and home design is only leading struggle to the inhabitants!    😦  Let’s see what you should avoid!

This ‘3’, home illustrated here will never give good results as a ‘3’ could do! – WHY?
Well, start looking from the front door… Stand in the entry and look out – what do you see?

• a path ‘cut’ on an angle instead of a solid and curved that should be best to lead to the front door
• the statue on the floor next to the door seems representing a stressed person with arms and legs crossed
• when looking out, we see the slope going down to the garage, so Chi goes first down… how can it reach the entry door?
• front door glass panels are showing down and right again towards the garage slope
• this house is located in a cul-de-sac where there is no exit for the Chi -> unfortunately all inhabitants of the cul-de-sac will be worrying and res-sassing their same old thoughts and same old ideas all the time
• windows are all different dimensions (no harmony) which could symbolise each time another outlook on life and perhaps a lot of mind changing
• why designing a narrow balcony where no-one will ever go above the garage to breathe the exhaust fumes? This unused balcony costs a lot of money and doesn’t add anything to the house.

Ideally, BEFORE building, call a reputable Feng Shui consultant who has experienced many building designs. Is it is a worth while investment, as you will be living in your new home for many years to come.

If the house is already built, it is never too late… as I have experienced so many suggestions for you to live better. Which means that investing in a Feng Shui consultation could well be a life changing experience!    🙂  ->  Good news!

I consult and I train Feng Shui Practitioners world wide. I run individual classes that are real Journeys with your Master. I’d love to count you among my practitioners in your country. Contact me and let’s organise this soon together.

I finally did it!

As usual, I was tempted to put it off (again and again) because it was never ‘the right time’. I was quite stressed just finishing my work contract and plenty of other things at hand!
Now,  I am so proud and happy that I completed the 5 day Training to become a Feng Shui Practitioner, with Roseline Deleu.

I met Roseline in February 2008 and since May of that special year I wished to follow her course. So it was long overdue. Finally we decided to go ahead.

Roseline came and we “Feng Shui-ed” my place as this is part of the teaching (big enjoyable bonus!!!). Yes – We moved furniture around. Yes – We de-cluttered draws, wardrobe and book shelves. This is the active part of the Feng Shui. However, we went much deeper into the reality of this art of placement!

Roseline often spoke and taught about the Nature elements, about the power of them working together in harmony… or not working in harmony   😦
She had me thinking and observing Nature and its amazing work.

Roseline asked off me repeatedly to reflect on: “what does one element to the other”.
– What happens if there is too much of one element when supposed to work along with another? (e.g. wood with water)
– What happens if there is too little of an element or a missing element? (e.g. wood with water)
Yes – Feng Shui is much more than just de-cluttering and moving furniture. In fact; de-cluttering and moving furniture is THE RESULT of Feng Shui understanding and practice.

When finally understanding what clutter and placement does to the energy around you, what clutter and placement does to your own energy; you want/need to de-clutter.

Much is said and written about what ingesting good or bad food does to your body and mind, much also is said about getting rid of people with low energy to keep up yours.
Little these days is said on what the environment YOU CREATE around you is doing to your mind, soul and body.
Yet this is something you alone can change for yourself; and this is Feng Shui, this positive movement and environment that you create is Feng Shui.

I will go to more into details in a few other articles to come; right now I only want to share with you a few of the first results of this amazing 5 day course:
-My place looks great and it feels really good to be here and so do I
-My wardrobe is looking colourful and quite attractive (see picture)
-I was stressed, yet, after the day 3, I could wake up in the morning around 3 or 4 am and fall asleep again easily (I stress very much at the end of a work contract hoping all of my students are able to finalise their course and get a job, I usually then wake up early and can’t find my sleep again)
-I shed 3 kg (still a lot to let go off )
-I am serene and happy again
-None-the-less, we had so much laughter and beautiful experiences

If this article comes up on Roseline’s Blog it means that I have understood what Roseline is teaching and I am sooooooo grateful to have met her and finally taken and completed her five day course.
I will even say: I wish I had done it sooner! So, if you are thinking of doing it, my advice to you is: Go, Do, Have fun and create for yourself a much easier life.

attract clients, business, coffee shop, consultation, create a cocoon, feng shui, feng sui, increase turnover, re-vamp business, roseline deleu

Which building to choose and start a successful business? That’s a good question to which everyone would like an easy answer – but it is a bit more complicated than this! Among many possibilities, I’ll explain you one example here below showing  a couple of coffee shops about 100 meters apart. I wasn’t there for Feng Shui consultations but thought of taking photos for teaching purposes.

Those 2 businesses both are located in a spot where they are well seen, that’s the first essential point: BE SEEN!
Let’s see which one people will be choosing?

1. In this round building
Inside this building, many mirrors separate sections of about 4 tables where people are comfortably sitting and reading their newspapers while enjoying their coffees and other of the menu options. Mirrors multiply quantities of who is actually sitting there. We then always have the impression that it is a busy place while still very quiet too. The message that this environment gives is that is is popular and… people like that!

To add to this thoughtful interior decor, the shape of this building is very interesting because round. This shape will attract people as they will feel the welcome of embracing ‘arms’ or a ‘cocoon’ idea that this shape subliminally creates. The lovely look of combination of glass and wood makes this place look warm and is thus attractive to people who want to spend some time in there.

2. In a modern rectangular and too linear building
The ground floor hosts a famous brand coffee shop. Nevertheless its fame, its decor – like in each of these franchised coffee shops – is very cold, linear, dark, impersonal, in other words: cold. The sensation created in this place is fast pace, colours are grey, back and brown. Clients are local admin workers who don’t make time to sit and enjoy but rather pick up a cuppa and go. I took this photo at lunch time and only 3 tables were occupied in the 30 available.

Too many empty tables in an already very open space in a building at the corner of two busy streets doesn’t seem to make this place conducive to stay and relax.
With the purchase of 20+ fresh green plants creating a few more personal spaces, this coffee shop would increase its turnover tremendously. Instead of rushing for a take-away coffee, clients would like to sit and taste the patisserie too. Marketing is much more than a brand name, it is about creating a place where people feel good about themselves. It would be interesting in this case to see if the franchise would accept the idea of implementing plants.

Conclusion: we can’t change the shape of buildings – on the other hand, investing in a Feng Shui consultation with a reputable consultant is really worthwhile! Many people call me to re-vamp their business and have increased their turnovers after following my suggestions.

Feng Shui is not ‘that’ Magic Wand

Calling upon a Feng Shui consultant is getting help and support to go through life experiences 🙂

From a business point of view: Feng Shui cannot be taken responsible for a bad business plan, challenging personalities who don’t want to change nor for bad attitude towards staff or clients. Feng Shui is there to suggest and prepare the positive changes, welcome Chi flow – up to the clients to follow up and live accordingly.

From a personal, family and relationship point of view: regular Feng Shui changes and support from your consultant – or my blog – guide you to progress and it’s a real boost for so many people  🙂  !

Most of my clients come back for further support and keep in touch for years after my visits, follow me on the blog and on Facebook.

I have heard that some readers may think that Feng Shui consultants have a magic wand – if so, please let me know where they bought it!  😀
Believing in ‘that’ Feng Shui Magic Wand is sadly a trick for some clients to hide behind excuses to avoid changes and remain the way they are.

Please consider, that when Feng Shui is crossing your life path it is there to help you when you refer to it regularly and you are open to look at yourself and change on daily basis!

Feng Shui Yours, always 🙂 !
