Walking in nature allows and helps your mind wander and connect on a deeper level without daily stress of modern life.

Where we were born influences our lives: location and its surrounding nature – these our roots, our strengths.

Native animals, Family, school, friends, work environment are among many more factors that will shape us – our shape are the equivalent of the tree branches and how these grow.

The tree is well balanced, it can show its equivalent of branches in the quantity of its roots system.

How about you?

Look at the photo of this tree and meditate on the way it is growing. Can you find the positive points in this illustration?

Nature is our greatest teacher, we are part of it.

Ba Gua and Feng Shui Protection

Whenever you feel threatened in life, especially since you realised that it has been happening ever since you moved into that new home… It may be a good idea to check how and where your home is located!

             

In Chinese Feng Shui what is called a “Poison arrow” could well be what is making you uncomfortable. That “poison arrow” comes in many different ways, for example: a tall tree or line of trees right in line with your front door, a “T” junction of streets, protruding corner, a hospital or a cemetery  across the street and many other Sha Chi (rapid or negative Chi) that is coming towards you!

Large Ba Gua in a Garden

In Chinese Feng Shui, people use a Ba Gua, an octagonal protection decorated by I Ching lines and often with a mirror in the middle. This Ba Gua is said to deflect negative energy and protects your home. It is important that the Ba Gua remains outdoors. So its best placement is often above the front door, on the fly screen above your head height or above a window if there is a poison arrow aiming at it.

I recently took a few photos to illustrate what Ba Gua may look like. And for those of you who can’t find one in their local shop… make your own, it is often very powerful because you add your strong intent of protection into yours.

This special Ba Gua was located above a Car Repairer in Thailand

Whichever protection you will choose, depending on your culture, they all seem to be working amazingly!

The 7 Day Feng Shui Challenge – Day 1

Many of us would like a life change or simply are wanting to receive good news… you know, something that happens and that makes us feel ‘good’.

Today is the 1st day of my Feng Shui Challenge with you.

DAY 1 – Clean your Mailbox at HOME

At HOME
Our mailbox outside our home or in the entry foyer of our building is the symbol of receiving news. I looked at like mine this morning, a bird had left his ‘track’, the dust was outside the mailbox and inside too!  😦  “Oops”– I thought – “How can I get something good happening in my life when my mailbox doesn’t look very welcoming at all!”

So, I cleaned it, dusted it and added a note so I won’t get any junk mail anymore – I was meant to do this for a long time! ( Yes, I am normal  😀 )
It already does look and feel much better! Now, time to buy some shining product from the shop and make that number 42 shine.

Looking forward to hearing from you and seeing your before and after photos in reply to this post.

Buddha or no Buddha?

Tags

broken buddha, buddha, buddha head, buddha tatoo, decoration, easy, feng shui, head, roseline deleu, tattoo

During my latest trip to Asia in January 2018, I became aware that a Buddha decoration isn’t as appropriate as we thought!

Many religious organisations put a lot of effort in their street signs and forbid trade of Buddhas to foreigners.

Buddhas heads as well as tattoos are wrong too and illegal.

Many Feng Shui books recommend the placement of Buddhas in specific areas because initially those books were aimed at Asian readers that were Buddhists!

Now that we are aware of this, I believe that it is to each one of us to make our decision and ask ourselves what the Buddha truly means for us… before using it as decoration.

Personally, I have no Buddhas as home (and never had) and ever since I have consulted and taught Feng Shui, I have always been encouraging people to use their personal Feng Shui Cures and adapt this ancient art of placement to their own culture and in respect of the energy of their Land.

Feng Shui Yours,

Reinforcing your Intents with the Feng Shui Magic Square Placements

correct placement of the magic square, easy, easy feng shui, feng shui, feng shui sectors in apartment, feng suhi, grid, love, marriage, placement, reinforce your intent, romance, roseline deleu, sectors in rooms, steps

Dear Roseline, How can I decorate my master bedroom inside the Feng Shui Magic Square? Shall I do this in relation to the main house plan/Feng Shui grid (magic square) or shall I only place the grid onto my bedroom? Areas will change as the two Magic Square (grids) overlap. How can I do to make this right? – Cheers, Alice (Perth)

Dear Alice,

The Feng Shui Magic Square – also referred as Feng Shui Grid or BaGua – can be placed on many levels as long as the placement always aligns the side ‘8-1-6’ with the entry – this is valid when we follow the Black Hat School of Feng Shui (not the Compass school).

You can thus place the Feng Shui Magic Square as follows:

Grid A – On your Block of Land
Chi Kou, which means the mouth of the Chi = relates to the entry of your block, it is where Chi (energy) enters. This is generally located at the widest entry point which most of the time corresponds to the driveway. Align the side ‘8-1-6’ of your Grid A with the driveway.
Grid A of your block of land will be the first one to check from the Feng Shui point of view. Look for any dead trees, where your bins are placed, where flowers are blooming – each and every details will have an influence on your life.

Grid B – On the plan of your apartment or house
Chi Kou is the entry door of your home/apartment as designed and defined by the architect and by your address. It is the door people would normally come and knock on when they don’t know you. I strongly encourage you to open that entry door at least once a day – especially for those of you who would use their back door which is not really good Feng Shui. Align the side ‘8-1-6’ of the Feng Shui Magic Square (Grid B) with your main entry door.
Grid B which gives you the opportunity to live and scan your Feng Shui inside. Place Grid B on one level of your house or apartment, for two levels, you will have another grid placement upstairs, at the top of your stairs which becomes your entry point upstairs.

Grid C- On each of your main Rooms
Yes, the Feng Shui grid can again be placed on each of your rooms, generally the main ones such as living room, rumpus, bedrooms. Always place the C-Grids aligning side ‘8-1-6’ with the entry of the room (if two entries, the widest or the most used is the one you’ll choose).
When placing C-Grids is when you strongly emphasise what you wish to manifest the most.

That means that all grids are on top of one another?!
Yes, indeed, they often have different entry door directions so they will easily overlap – to avoid confusion, simply stay focus on your each intent you have in mind while doing the adjustments for each grid and everything will be all right.

Intentions are your keys to success!

Please Note
One of my clients had enhanced her Romance sectors ‘2’ of her garden, home and of each rooms. She is a single mum with a young girl with special needs. She cannot imagine having a relationship with a man until her daughter is old enough to leave home one day… Nevertheless, she activated the energies in that part of all her grids! This lady does not socialise much at all and only goes out of home to school or for grocery shopping. During that time, she sees men smiling and sometimes talking to her. She never makes a step to keep in touch with them as she believes that a relationship for the next decade is impossible. – So, may I ask you… why activate Romance when you are not ready!? The grid offers 9 sectors to choose from and each opens doors to something new in life.

Feng Shui always starts with common sense and logic. Activate energies and enhance your sectors only when you are ready to welcome its magic… because it can happen very fast!

Happy Feng Shui to you!

Feng Shui Garden – Wealth area

Hello Roseline, I hope this email finds you well. We have put a water feature into area 3 with big blue pots and blue and white flowers. I have 2 plastic gold pots with fake plants at the top of the feature and know by rights these should be real flowers not plastic. Can you advise please what type of plants or at least colour I should replace these plastic ones with please. Also we were thinking about putting a cascading plant that would hang done above the Buddha’s head but I don’t if that would be ok or not? I know this is not the money area but I really need to stimulate our money areas so that things get better in that regard. Its been a real struggle and problem the last 12 – 18 months financially. – X.D. Darwin (Australia)Dear X.D.  Thank you for your question!

I would suggest a couple of options:
Option 1 – Purchase a light fabric Safran colour and run it from top of buddha’s head (on top of the bricks) till bottom of the sitting area, letting it flow to cover the 3^rd level of bricks under the Buddha (below) so it covers the electric wire too. This will bring a lovely colour AND the effect of wind that you need.
Option 2 – Plant cascading down AND plant cascading UPWARDS (departing under the floor where the lilly is for the moment – can you do this?

Keep in touch,

Un-welcoming?!

I initially wanted to illustrate this article with a rotten teeth smile but the photos were so terrifying that I changed my mind!

We know that your entrance and entry door as well as the front yard of your home is like the smile on your face, it welcomes you back home… It is also how your friends and visitors get their first impression.

Garbage everywhere, broken down cars in the ‘driveway’ to only name a couple of ‘wrongs’ on the illustration below.

Beware… You seldom get a second chance to give a 1st impression!

This photo is real and was NOT taken after a cyclone!

Life of the occupants will change in no time when they’ll clean up their yard, fix fences and remove broken cars. Feng Shui starts as easy as that!

Once the front of the house is de-cluttered, then and only then, you start looking at the feng Shui inside of the home.

Keep the good work.

Feng Shui yours,

Stay away Ducks!

blue, blue eagle, clean swimming pool, Deleu, duck, eagle, feng shui, poo, Roseline, shape, steps

A nice and clean swimming pool located preferably in sectors 1, 3 or 4 of your block of land, is very auspicious as long as it stays clean.

Too often, ducks (and other bird life) use it to our detriment and leave their ‘marks’ into what do our best to keep as clean as possible waters. 😦

An easy trick to keep ducks and some other birds away from it, is simply to place the shape of an eagle in flight as illustrated on these two photos.

A sticker of an eagle in flight keeps ducks away.

Cheap solution and less use of chemicals, much better for your skin.

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 Number ‘8’

Tags

auspicious, cacti, cactus, entry, feng shui, feng shui consultation, feng shui master, feng shui numbers, feng shui steps, front yard, garden, roseline deleu, spiky plants, unfriendly entry

House numbers are believed to be influencing our lives. Illustrations of this article show a house number 35 which when we add 3+5 = 8.

Eight is a very auspicious number in Feng Shui and often 8 symbolizes infinity (->infinity of potential, infinity of possibilities etc.)
Thus, it looks like living in an ‘8’ house, to a several digits number adding to ‘8’ or a house number containing ‘8’ in the digits, has a positive influence on its inhabitants.

Watch out though! If your front yard looks like in the two photos of this post, it will be very UN-likely that luck would come and know at your door! The two spikes above the roof peak, the spiky plants and the cacti will keep all the good things away from you.

To attract good luck, always be Feng Shui and common sense aware.
