No I don't nor anyone else in my family practices feng shui.

But methinks alot of us can "feel" the vibes of a place upon stepping into an empty house ....if one is looking to buy or rent a home.

Abit of belief in karma for where a retail business or new restaurant is located might have saved some people's bank accounts ...no matter how sophisticated one's market research maybe.

You can choose a bad location, but then you must work doubly hard to overcome some negative things that create the wrong energy.....light up a home/restaurant more, position furniture abit better, have door and windows facing in more optimum positions. More sunlight is good...as long as it doesn't bake people in broad daylight.

Jane has the best newsletter. If you haven't signed up for it ladies, you should. How she comes up with all of these analogies, I'll never know. They are always so profound, and give me an "ah moment" just about every time.

I like it when somebody gives me a new way to look at things. (Short, fluffy Queen circling arms and going, "go Ja-neee, go Ja-neee,")

I am going to be the party pooper here, to me Feng Shui is just another name for a glorified Interior Decorator, and isn't for the poor people, or even the moderately rich....

It costs an arm and a leg and who knows better than we ourselves what makes us happy in our home? I go by Char Shui, if I like it, thats all that matters to me, and all I can afford...

Quote:

When we bought our house, I specifically chose this room as my work room because of the light. My desk faces the window and I see a lot of trees.

The energy doesn't flow out -- it flows in. There's an incredible energy from all those trees which infuses me and expands my horizons. It also calms me and centers me so my creativity can flow. When I've had desks facing walls or room interiors, I'm more antsy and my ideas are more likely to get jammed up in hyperactivity and sometimes even claustrophobia.




Interesting, I focus alot better "inside my head" if my desk is facing a window scene outside that is not totally gorgeous or if I face a wall. The only way for me to become more imaginative, is not allow myself to be distracted by real external visual scenes. Unless I am drawing or whatever the acutal scene.

Similarily, I find it very difficult to read a book for a long time outside, if there is a majestic scene right in front of me. My whole spirit is yearning to go out to greet and be one with the sun, mountains,etc.

Chatty,
Feng Shui doesn't have to cost a dime. You can go to your local library, check out plenty of books on the subject, and just follow the instructions. I'm not sure why you think it cost an arm and a leg. Its is very much the "do it yourself" hobby for some.

JJ, I have been watching that program called Going Green with Ed Begley Jr. and one of his friends, also a movie star, Victoria De Angelo hired a Feng Shui lady and mentioned the cost. I also called around locally just for the heck of it and it was upwards of $1500. for a three bedroom home. Plus I don't care how many books a person reads about decorating or Feng Shui, you have to have a natural knack too, which not many actually have.

I was speaking TOTALLY for MYSELF, no one else when making those statements. "To each his own." Oh no, now I'll be humming that song all day long...LOL!

Personally, I believe my FENG could use a bit of SHUING!!!

No way would I pay that. I have good common sense, and I think I have a "knack" for these things, so I would trust my own judgement. Jane did her house, and all she did was read a book. Its like anything else, you can hire a decorator, or do it yourself, hire a housecleaner, or do it yourself, hire a plumber...or...hire a plumber...there are some things I won't do..ewww...
