Buddha or no Buddha?

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.

Forgotten Ceilings

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.

Look up to your ceiling

When I travel the world, I discover new decoration ideas that are Feng Shui friendly and lovvvvvvve sharing them with you!

I recently walked in a very chic and expensive furniture and decoration shop in Jakarta (Indonesia) where I saw this great idea of decorating the electric wire or chain that is holding your light fitting to the ceiling.

It is a very affordable idea and can easily be done by yourself at home as long as you keep fire and safety in mind!

Your old light will get a new life; you add a ‘chic’ touch to your plastic one. Change colour as you wish. It’s fun.

Enjour your Feng Shui changes!

A bit of humour with Feng Shui makes it easier to get! 

This example shows a bedroom layout in which you’d really be challenged to meet the right man. Yes, this room would belong to a spinster or a single woman with problems – or eventually a master bedroom of a couple where the poor husband would not have much to say in the relationship. Let’s have a look at the hints here:

1. The bed is centered in the middle of the wall, which is usually ‘good feng shui’ – yes, but… it doesn’t seemed balanced as on one side you have a window partially covered by the pillows and on the other side two frames – none of this layout would bring equilibrium into a couple.
2. Bed side tables and lamps are similar on both sides, which is usually ‘good feng shui’ – yes but… one of the light bulb is broken – so, no light, no energy is attracted on that side of the bed!
3. Pink is beautiful and symbolises Love – yes, but… when the decor of your room is excessively feminine or too girly, it is recommended to add a touch of ‘male’ or ‘adult’ decor/colours/touch in there.
4. The window cools down that side of the bed(head), while we really would like to manifest a warm and loving relationship!

Thus, we changed the bed and placed it on the other wall, where there is no window. We put a new light bulb in the lamp and changed the photos of the two little frames. One of the bedside tables (male side) is now empty and you are symbolically now ready to welcome a man into your life – not specifically straight away in your bed… one step at the time! 

Would you have one of those ‘Stay-out-Man-Bedroom’ and you are keen to meeting someone nice?… Send me a photo by email and I’ll answer with some suggestions in one of the upcoming blog posts.
