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.

Connect ❤    🙂

Poor little Cactus

Hello Roseline, Firstly, I want to thank you for all the precious Feng Shui info that you put on your blog! I have a question for you – I bought a little cactus and placed it on the window seal at home on the wall that is touching an electric cabin, hoping that it’d take the bad vibes away. White spots appeared on the cactus, would that mean that the energy is bad there? That the cactus has absorbed the negative vibes that would otherwise come to me (this is possible). Is is better to get rid of the cactus or to look after it? Thank you for your insights. – Angie (France)

Hello Angie and thank you for your question as this is important for keeping the blog interesting for the readers!

Having no photo of your cactus, I can only answer to you… assuming. From what you describe, your cactus would have indeed reacted to the effect of the magnetic field coming off the electric cabin next to your home. Which means that by developing the unusual white spots, it shows to you that there is something bad around for yourself in that area.

Unfortunately, a little cactus wouldn’t be enough to protect you. Be logic, look at the size of the power cabin and your size compare it to the size of your little cactus… how many cacti would you need for a decent protection in this case!?

With your scenario, here are a few good questions to ask yourself:

• Do the inhabitants and the animals living in your home have health issues?
• Since when do you live in that house?
• Do you rent or are you the owner?

In regards to your little cactus, move it to a safe and healthy environment and give it time to heal.

If you like, purchase many cacti and place all of them on your kitchen window on the electric cabin side and see what happens.

Take care. Best regards,

DAY 4 – Shoes & Underwears

Interesting day again today…

Shoes
I’m sure that all of us have shoes we don’t wear anymore, those too tight, too old, wrong size, those that we bought and never wore… and never will wear 😀  all those shoes that have no real good reason to be in our shoe cupboards! NO more excuses, today, you give them away!
Shoes are the symbol of going forward in life ❤

Underwear
Elastics that don’t hold anything anymore, worn out undies, too small ones… you name it! I’m sure you have got some 🙂
Our underwear are our next skin, so our body deserves to be comfortable with nice underwear with nice colours that will make us feel good.
No more reason that those unwearable underwear overload your draws! Today, they leave your home!

You may now deserve to buy ONE new item (if you really need it!)

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.

I would like to give the opportunity to all my subscribers to email me photos of nice ceilings ideas that you could get inspired for you to do at home or at work. Email me to roseline @ fengshuisteps.com (without the spaces before and after the @) – thank you 🙂

We probably won’t be able to copy what was done on this high ceiling in a temple, nevertheless, it could give you some ideas !

Here a photo of a reader with a view of the ceiling about her massage table – thank you Josée!

                                   

and an idea of a bedroom where I recently stayed 🙂

Looking forward to receiving your ceilings ideas photos!

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,

Ceiling – Looking at the Stars?

ceilings in dining areas, cosy, dark ceiling, Deleu, delue, easy, feng shui, good feng shui light, lighting, night sky ceiling, Roseline

I recall when my son was little, I decorated its bedroom ceiling with some glow-in-the-dark stars. We all loved the idea! They were blue-tagged and sadly the blue-tag of that time made a mess when many years later I decided to remove them when moving out.

Today, it seems trendy to have that night sky feeling inside buildings. As you can see in those photos, the ceilings are painted in night sky blue or black and are decorated with many little lights. The effect is stunning as long as your ceiling is very high – this point is essential!!!

Some trendy restaurants also decided to bring on dark ceilings – maybe we can’t see our food as well – but this gives a nice and cosy atmosphere in the place.

From a Feng Shui perspective, having the sky above your heads creates the feeling of infinity, it opens up your mind and possibilities. Avoid having this decor on normal height ceilings please as this would deter the point and you would make the room feeling much smaller.

Feng Shui Yours,

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.

Feng Shui & Mirrors

Tags

art, clutter, cure, dried flowers, dust, easy, feng shui, feng shui steps, fresh flowers, mirrors, roseline deleu, stair cases

Mirrors are too often consider as the Feng Shui ‘aspirin’. When something doesn’t see to go as we want… we place a mirror! Aouch! Aouch ! Aouch 😦 this could be far from ideal!!!

Here a FEW suggestions (many more suggestions exist of course, these ones will get you started)

GOOD placement:

1. YES: in a dark spot where light (in the mirror) can be reflected and thus will lighten the room
2. YES: on the wall where your grid has a missing area
3. YES: when it reflects something nice for ex. a fresh bunch of flowers

WRONG placement:

1. NO: not in your main entry reflecting your door (Chi comes in and goes out immediately)
2. NO: not reflecting stair cases (as illustrated in the photo above) – this would encourage too many UPs and DOWNs in life!
3. NO: absolute NO when mirror reflects clutter and/or broken items

AVOID mirrors in bedrooms – so, if you can’t sleep, cover them at night and feel the difference for yourself.

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!
