Are You In or Out of Balance?
CLUTTER: When clutter starts to accumulate in an environment, imbalance in our personal, professional and social lives always follows. This can range from health and financial challenges to struggle and conflict with friends, family, co workers, affiliates, as well as with buyers and sellers. Feng Shui is the communication that takes place everyday between you and your environment. At a glance, take a look at your home, office, desk, car and briefcase and check to see if you are in or out of balance! DE-CLUTTERING: This is the first step in reclaiming your health, vitality, energy and business! Creating a sense of harmony and peace in your space will reflect the same in your life and career. Consciously letting go of "things" that no longer serve your highest good, will invigorate and energize your personal Ch'i, and empower you to attract blessings, abundance, health, wealth and good fortune in your life. FENG SHUI... "Should I include porches and decks in the Ba-gua when I Feng Shui my listings?" If a porch or deck completes the Ba-gua square (eliminates a missing corner or qua section) then, yes, include it. If it extends beyond the Ba-gua and is less that 50% of the width, then do not include it. The later scenario is called an "Extension" and is considered a fortunate blessing for the occupants. "Given the choice to face one of my power directions at work vs. sitting in one of my best gua areas, what would you advise me to do?" Good question. Although some Feng Shui Masters would disagree with me, I would definitely honor at least 2 out of your four "empowerment" directions, at all times, when working or talking to significant others. Also, some Masters believe the sitting direction is more important than the ("eyes") facing direction. I believe the facing direcition is the most powerful school of all. Aligning yourself with your power directions will help to reduce stress and eliminate wasted time in the day. If you are lucky enough to sit "facing" 3 out of four of your best directions, it's possible to reduce your work time by a third, too. This phenomenon is based on magnetic energy alignment. Each human being has four out of eight magnetic "compass" directions that support them in almost every aspect of their lives. (Click onto www.chiquiz.com to find out your personal power element) "How can I tell if a house has good or bad Feng Shui?" The answer to this question is both simple and complex. The perfect form/shape of a house in Feng Shui is square or rectangular with no missing corners. However in Classical Feng Shui, we believe that the "unseen" energy inside a property will either support or deplete the Ch'i of the occupants. This is based on many factors ranging from "compass" sitting/facing directions, year constructed, your year of birth, whether you are an East or West Group person, the compass direction of main doors and bedrooms, as well as the location and shape of the land and building too. To embrace Feng Shui from a Classical perspective like this, requires a consultation with someone who practices both Traditional and Western Feng Shui. "What is your 5 Element Business System all about? There is a gal in my office who had you Feng Shui her office last year and teach her this and now she is number one in our office, but she won't share anything with me, it's like some kind of big secret." I'm happy, but not surprised, to hear she made #1!! However, I am sad to hear that your associate is not willing to share her success story with you and others. There is an "endless supply" of abundance in the Universe for everyone to tap in to, even within the same real estate office; therefore, it's impossible for competition to hurt anyone. My 5EBS is not difficult to learn, and it is not a secret. It's a powerful color code system based on the "productive cycle" of five Chinese elements that when used properly, magnetizes business to you. This system is effective in any industry. It's our most sought after consultation; it's called the COMBO (a 2 hour recorded phone consultation) and includes the Feng Shui of your office, desk and learning a 5 Element Business System that supports high volume sales. This consultation has helped hundreds of RealtorsŪ triple their existing sales and income in record time. However, because the 5EBS is designed to honor each individual's or company's visions and goals, it is impossible to duplicate the 5EBS on CD, thus the reason why it is done by consultation, one-on-one. (click onto the Consultation link at www.FengShui4RE.com for more information or to read a few Real Estate testimonials) "I have a listing that won't sell, what can you do to help me sell this property fast before the listing expires in 30 days?" Believe it or not, 90% of the time, it's the Ch'i of the land that needs to be Feng Shui'd more than the house to get it SOLD. Western Ba-gua, the simplest school to learn, is the easiest and fastest way to Feng Shui and sell a difficult or hard to sell listing. You can learn how to do this, step-by-step, on your own with our REALTORŪ EMPOWERMENT program. It's fun and the results are fast and dynamic, and your sellers will love it too. You can order this unique marketing and sale program online at www.FengShui4RE.com by clicking onto the Product link. After learning this program, it will take you less than ONE hour to Feng Shui your listing!! Also, super star agents around the world are proactively Feng Shui'n all their listings today, even when they know they are going to sell quickly, because Feng Shui'd properties act like magnets to attract buyer, seller and referral business, effortlessly. "Someone told me that single women artwork in my bedroom is affecting my ability to find a mate, is this true?" Feng Shui is the language of symbols, colors and metaphors (among other things). Thus if you are single and desirous of a partner in life, this would be an inappropriate placement. Pairs of things would help to pull in partners i.e.. artwork of lovers kissing, dancing etc. would certainly enhance your odds. However, I have found that many clients, both male and female, with single object artwork in their living environment, are often times more "ambivalent" than desirous of a relationship. Thus the fourth realm of INTENTION always rules! You would benefit greatly by listening to TeleSeminar CD# 2 LIKE GRAVITY you Don't have Believe in Feng Shui for it to Work!! "I've listened to your REALTORŪ EMPOWERMENT program several times and think it's TERRIFIC! I also Feng Shui my listings using your program, and they all have sold!!! I love Feng Shui and it's amazing how both my life and career have changed since using your unique methods. Thank you so much!! I can't wait to learn more, can you tell me what books I should read or do next?" Congratulations!! It sounds like you are ready for advanced Feng Shui!

The Wireless Home It was only a few years ago that Real Estate agents and Builders were promoting the "Wired" feature as a must have when buying a new home. Wired meant that the home not only had cable running throughout it, but also Cat-5 wire. Cat-5 wire consists of four pairs of wire that are sheathed into one bundle, and is used for interconnecting multiple computers and computer peripherals throughout the home. Electricians went to great length to run Cat-5 throughout new homes, and homebuyers paid a handsome premium for it.

Conventional Steam Saunas vs. Infrared Saunas The health benefits of steam saunas have been recognized for centuries, beginning with sweat lodges, traditional Finnish saunas, and other methods of heating the body and producing perspiration that cleanses the cells and pores.

Easy To Follow Tips For Keeping Energy Costs Down When it comes to cooling our homes and businesses, the cost of air conditioning just seems to keep going up and up. This year is no different. We like the cool comfort of dryer less humid air and we are willing to pay for it. However, there is no reason to just give your money away to the utility company. Older homes are typically thought of as energy wasters. However, newer homes from the 70's and later also have issues when it comes to energy efficiency. More often than not there are mature trees surrounding the older homes. New construction generally stands in a flattened area with new landscaping. If you have ever lived in this new construction, you know immediately that there is a difference in the temperature of your rooms because there is no shade. Check the thermal envelope of the home. If you are asking what a thermal envelope is, it is everything that protects the indoors of the home from the elements and the outdoors. This includes the wall and roof assemblies, insulation, air/vapor retarders, windows, weather stripping and caulking. If you are considering buying a home or you just need to remodel and improve your existing home, know as much as you can about the shell and what is protecting you and you will be ahead of the game when it comes to lowering utility costs. There are some common sense things you can do to cut your energy costs and keep your homes and businesses cool at the same time. Interior Design For Children Interior design for children is one of the most fun, delightful aspects of the business if you ask me.

Transform Your Home with Decorative Country Lighting As we become more of a home-based society, many more of us are pouring money into our houses with DIY renovations. Mommy, Mommy, Theres a Caterpillar on my Bed Chenille has been used for bedspreads since Catherine Evans revived the craft in the 1890's. She applied raised tufts of yarn to cotton sheeting and these spreads were often referred to as chenille products. Chenille is the French word for caterpillar - the yarn looks like those fuzzy little creatures. Thick pile of yarn ends stuck out all around at right angles. Stamps were created into a pattern and the yarn was stuck on to fill in the pattern. Bedspreads from this craft were all the rage in the 20's. The demand was so high that new warehousing systems were developed to put out these products. This truly developed from a cottage industry in that haulers would deliver stamped sheets to the women of north Georgia, Tennessee and the Carolinas. They would then pick up the spread, pay the women and take the spreads back to the warehouse. A final finishing of washing in hot water locked in the yarns. They were also dyed in all kinds of colors.
