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!

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.

What does this entry reveal?

Your entry and your home reveal a lot about your life and your projections. Single items you scan, single life you project.

Single women often surround themselves with statues, photos, paintings and/or art of single women… and wonder how come they aren’t attracting any partner?!

Different Cultures

As we walked along the Molonglo Gorges (Canberra-Australia), we stopped and looked at those trees.

They seem to have grown next to each other, have their own roots and when you observe closer, they look like they are embracing each other!

We immediately thought how much Nature is telling us. Today, with all what is happening in the world, we feel challenged with different cultures… while different sort of trees with different roots systems can without problem live together in harmony. We are sure we can too!

Food for thoughts!

Buddha Head

I recently saw a wrong placement of a Buddha head in a front yard and took a photo to explain this to you.

As you see, the Buddha is not in full body, people choose to place only a head.

Before I explain anything, I’d like to ask yourself “How do I feel seeing a head on its own like that in a bare garden?”

Moreover, the head is turning its back towards the street, while we would rather prefer that a Buddha welcomes us at home. Turning a back to the street or to an entry means that you can’t see who is coming – you can’t see the dangers either.

From a respect point of view, I would always encourage you to display a Buddha in full body with a full wall behind his back and preferably on a certain height on top of an altar (not on the floor).

For those of you who have a Buddha’s head, place it on the height where a head would normally be.

Building, Renovating or Moving Home?

Tags

apply feng shui principles to your renovations, Canberra, design your home on feng shui principles, feng shui, feng shui training courses, fengshui consultation, fengshui design

A good home layout and design will take into consideration the needs of its occupants. For a family of 5 a house will be very different than for a couple of retirees.

A family with small children will enjoy a safe garden with enough space to play, a large entertaining area for kids parties, alfresco or BBQ; an older couple will probably be happy with a smaller garden easy to maintain with many colourful flowers that bring joy into their lives and a paved area to sit comfortably with their visitors.

When designing a house for my clients, firstly we visit the block of land and during pre-design conversation I include many questions for example:

– How long are you planning to live here?
– How many people will live in the house and how old are they?
– What are your hobbies, sports and interest?
– How many cars do you use in the family?
After many more questions and listening to their life stories, I start the design process including their needs and wishes combining this with the most beneficial and tasteful Feng Shui.

Nowadays, people tend to move house more often than the previous generations. This is good so people (hopefully) review their possessions and decide before the move what they really want to take into their new homes. Having said that, I sometimes find removal-ists boxes stocked in top shelves in garages that have been moved and moved again for years and that are only collecting dust… bringing stagnation into their life. Hence why I am also the ‘biggest enemy’ of storage places that are good for people moving countries and coming back rather than storing excess of unnecessary possessions.

Did you know that what is stored in boxes for more than 1 year, most of the times you won’t need anymore because your patterns of using what you have in there has changed and you can easily live without it.

Is your home today reflecting the life style that you wish? Does it give you burden or pleasure?

In other words… do you feel happy to be home and if not what can you change?

Two good questions for you right now…
1. Do you think that your house too big?
2. How much do you think you spend per year to keep/store the excess of your material possessions?

We can live in comfort with the essentials; sadly TV, advertising and Egos tend to tell us differently… – Food for thoughts. 🙂 –

I am available for Feng Shui consultations, make-overs, renovations and new designs.
During consultations, I use items and decor that you already own, having taught Feng Shui to interior Designers and Decorators I never use Chinese items. Together with my clients we choose taste & harmony. Clients say that their consultation with me was the best investment they ever made – read more feed back on my website www.fengshuisteps.com

Feeling good at home will certainly change your outlook on life.

I travel the world with my consultations and Feng Shui training courses… I am only a flight away! Looking forward to reading from you soon.

Feng Shui suggestion for large Outdoor Space

easy feng shui, feng shui for a work promotion, labyrinth centennial park sydney, let go of worries, outdoor feng shui, roseline deleu, simple feng shui tip

For thousands of years, many cultures used labyrinth to relax. Most of us know a few  famous ones for ex. the one on the floor in Chartres cathedral in France.

Since, many more popped up around the world either paved ones or edges, or blocs or even lavender ones! I recall 15 years ago our trip to Tasmania was visiting labyrinths as many as we could and my young son at the time thoroughly enjoyed this holiday!

Public parks now start more and more building a labyrinth on their lawns. I walked the one in Sydney Centennial Park as illustrated in these photos. I walked it emptying my mind towards the center, then walked it the other way repeating a mantra. How powerful this is!Not all of us have the chance to live near such a labyrinth, alternatively, display the photo of a labyrinth in your home and ‘walk’ it with your finger.

Those who have a large vacant piece of land, look into creating one with local flowers or little bushes.

A labyrinth works on the Feng Shui of your mind, you relax, you let go of your worries, you allow yourself to simply BE.

Face in Tree

It’s when you are truly relaxed and opened that you can connect with nature.

I happened to see a face in a tree and took a photo to realise a bit later when I looked at the photo, that another tree (in the shadow) was also waving at me!

Do you see the face? I zoomed it in for you.

Enjoy your next walk in and with Nature.
