Change Habits

change, consumerism, feng shui, habits, need, purchases, roseline deleu, shopping

After being away for a few months from the place I usually live, I sat in our local shopping center and watched people walked past.

Interestingly, I realised that the population had changed: much more Asians are now running the shops, many more African immigrants were now part of the current population. I wondered to what extent this newer changes impacted on consumerism! (By the way, these are happening all around the world.)

Where would they stop and purchase what they liked? Is this why there are so many shops changing since last year or is it simply because of the exhorbitant rent and change of habits of people buying online?

Buying online is fine for a few items. Luckily, for many people it will never replace the human contact and the fun people have going shopping and browsing.

When you go shopping next, sit down and think how much people are buy stuff they don’t really need and how much that impact on the garbage and on cluttering of their homes.

When you wish to buy something next… take it in your hands, look at it, then ask yourself “Do I REALLY need this?”.

When you buy online, think twice before tapping that ‘add to cart’ button.

We don’t NEED much to BE happy ❤

Thank you.

I have always loved the beauty of stairs. Steps and stairs have inspired me to name my website, as each step in life takes us further.

Stairs have an amazing impact on our outlook of life and influence the Feng Shui of our home too.

Today I would like to share with you a short talk that I really enjoyed 🙂

Feng Shui Yours,

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.

Are you sitting on your desk facing a blank wall?

You may feel limited by your belief of lack options in life and noticed that you may well have lost some confidence since you have been facing that wall!?

Balgo, Western Australia

Add a beautiful photo/poster of nature where you can see an opening of the landscape! Yes, surrounding yourself by nature is essential!

Forgotten Ceilings

Tags

apparent beams, beams, ceilings, cracked ceiling, decoration, easy, feng shui, gold, roseline deleu

Do you miss the days when the ceilings were nicely decorated? I’d love to put this back into fashion 🙂

In Feng Shui, attics as well as ceilings symbolise what we think (in our head). Too much junk in attics or old objects reminding you of bad memories could be stored there too – all those negativity stagnates above your heads. Likewise, cracked ceilings or traces of water damaged (repaired or not) are not the best omens to live a sane and positive life.

Looking at Asian temples and monuments, ceilings are often decorated with golden leaves. Imagine living with gold above our heads – how rich we would feel!

Nice lighting in our modern interiors can do the job though.

Ceiling apparent beams are lines that ‘cut’ the Chi above our heads, Asians decorate their beams to dissipate their negative effects.

As illustrated (right) with this modern room, today’s decorators are keen to make rooms cosy and use tasteful draping even if there is no beam.

Today, look up, check your ceilings, clean up your lights, change the broken bulbs and think of washing or repainting your ceilings if necessary.

Unsettled in new Home

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.

Un-welcoming?!

Tags

broken car, broken fence, dump, easy, entrance, entry, feng shui, front garden, garbage, repair, yard

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,

Sleepless Nights

Tags

auspicious bed direction, bed, bedroom, Deleu, direction, experiences, feng shui, Roseline, sleep, sleeping in bed

Dear Roseline , I cannot believe how changing the direction of lying on a bed totally changes how you feel. Its bizarre and totally unfair the misery of sleeplessness to have endured because of the direction. How do people cope with this?
My life has been absolute *#)@(* emotions, feelings, thoughts all in disarray and it changes when I lay in a different direction on the bed. – N.R. USA

Dear subscriber,

Indeed, we are part of a big universe and it affects us in a positive and less positive way sometimes.

I trust that you found your best direction and that you are sleeping better now.

Having felt all these emotions when you change direction means that you are very well connected with the oneness.

I have slept in all directions and still do this wherever I go. You will find me sleeping across or totally opposite in a bed as I do not want to be stuck to rely on a compass. Each hemisphere is different, each country, each place too. Hence why, feeling is essential rather than relying on one direction only.

Wishing you better nights.

Have a fantastic year 2017 and enjoy your Feng Shui experiences!

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.

Ultimate Feng Shui Business Card

Tags

attract clients, be professional, business, business cards, consultations, feng shui, give the right message, look good, marketing tool, roseline deleu, wallet

Let’s look into some Feng Shui suggestions to design a good and effective business card. Indeed, it is the most compact marketing tool you will ever carry in your wallet and often the most powerful one too.

Make it easy for people to contact you.
Therefore, ensure that your business card is easy to read.

I know for sure that many people who met me remember vaguely my name – Roseline Deleu is not the easiest name to remember nor to spell correctly. Hence why I designed my business card so that people will easily link it with me.

Business cards are still very fashionable and a good way for people to remember how to contact you. Your card says everything about what they need to know and you present yourself and your business in the way most want to be seen.

A well thought-out and designed business card allows you to specialise in and attract the sort of business you want.
For example: for those who start in life or are running a small solicitor’s practice, with the goal of becoming a local leader in conveyancing, you can promote that fact with a simple tagline such as “specialising in conveyancing”.

Always carry plenty of cards and make sure that they are in perfect condition – invest in  a card box or holder from your favourite stationery shop.

THE DOs AND DON’Ts of BUSINESS CARDS

DO:   🙂
– Include all relevant contact details, such as names, job titles, address, phone numbers, mobile phone, fax, email and website.
– Have a look at the business cards of other companies and individuals in your industry for ideas and reference.
– Communicate well with your designer. Give him/her lots of options and information regarding your vision. There is no use portraying your company as ‘cutting-edge & funky’’, when the reality is ‘traditional & conservative’.
– Match the style of the card to the essence of your company – whether it’s quirky, conservative, traditional, dynamic, artistic or leading-edge.
– Choose a distinctive font without going over the top, people need to be able to read the type.
– Ensure the type is large enough to read, as many people who need glasses don’t necessarily wear them all the time!
-Include your logo or trademark, or a distinctive design element.

DON’T:   😦
– Don’t forget your name is the most important unit of copy on the card, ensure that it is not dwarfed by other elements.
– Don’t make your card too fussy or busy.
– Don’t use too many colours, remember the image you want to project
– Don’t use fonts with serifs, they are not particularly suitable and should not be used in upper case.

NOTE and REMEMBER :
– glossy varnish, a slogan or embossed paper can make an ordinary business card look outstanding.
– use stock of 250-300 gsm strong paper will look good, feel sturdy and stand the test of time.

And at the end of all these suggestions, if you still doubt, contact me by email with your project.   🙂
