Feng shui

[Gertrude]

Great tip! Am off to put mine in the drawer. My eldest is doing leaving cert so needs all the help she can get especially the year that’s in it. Thanks, @Gertrude, I’m a novice but eager to learn.

Oh, so am I! I don’t know a thing about it but have been sucked into it after it was mentioned on the other thread. Interesting too see whether making some little changes will make any difference. I think we could all do with some positive vibes!

@50sGirl I’m so sorry for your loss it makes total sense why you’d want to postpone the clapping for a little while

I ring a bell in my house to reset all the energy ... it works wonders.

I might try that sometime. I have a Tibetan singing bowl which is patiently sitting in its box not doing much. It has a tone like a bell. I like bells - a very dear friend gave me one a little while ago.

Yes! I love the idea of clapping corners or smudging sage as a group and reporting back

I didn't mean it to sound harsh. I was trying to be helpful from a Feng Shui perspective.

I was not aware of, nor am I part of, the group you have mentioned, so thought this was all just Feng Shui talk

I don't think Milton Keynes has taken offence at my comment though, which is good, as I never intended it to be mean-spirited.

I do take offence to being called Milton Keynes, however.

Good Morning Everyone - welcome to Saturday.

This morning I asked my I Ching how I could best help @Hi there. It’s the first time I have used it for quite some time, but since I had actually gone looking for it to put it up here for her to see I then started reading it again. I have decided to put up the response the I Ching gave me when I asked it the question because a) it may resonate with her and b) it may resonate with many others. I say that because it has just really resonated with me when I read it. I think it might be particularly apt for the times we are living in now and yet was originally written when thet didn’t even have printing presses. Anyway; here it is...

To be honest I found this quite moving...In the I Ching the bottom line of the hexagram is the one that matters. I seem to have photographed the bottom 2 but have left it in anyway because maybe the penultimate line may help someone too. (No such thing as coincidence etc...)

What a fascinating read. Thank you, @Oops.

 

[Hi there]

I’m absolutely loving all these posts and advice on this page! Thank you all so much

Yes, the first thing I see when I walk out of the front door is the entire staircase. OMG you are so right about head and stomach problems. At that old apartment, I had such bad cases of headaches out of nowhere and had one incidence of bad stomach ulcer that I had to go to the hospital. It's a bit manageable now, not sure if it is because I am more mindful of what I eat. But I like to think it's better energy than before. Yes, please do share if you come across anything stair related.

Ok so if things have improved then it might be that the energy where you are now is better than before. Fresh mint tea is very soothing for tummy problems in case you didn’t know that btw. I thought that you meant your front door was beneath your inside staircase so that’s why I couldn’t think of anything. Seeing the stairs when you go out is clearly affecting you so might not be ideal. Maybe getting the energy to move outside your front door might help. Wind chimes are good for this if you don’t mind the noise they make. Also you might put a convex mirror on the outside of your front door to re-direct the energy away. You can buy Feng Shui mirrors on eBay but don’t buy them if you don’t like the look of them. Its important that you like the look of the cures you try to effect otherwise the look of the cures can irritate you if you get my drift. Also, listening to Tibetan singing bowl music might help you if you feel anxious indoors. There are many on You tube so pick one that resonates will with you. This kind of sound is really good indoors to clear negative energies too. Sometimes I put this sort of music on in my laundry (where I keep my water distiller). Other times I let it play in my bedroom too.
When we do our Clap For Great Energy day it might be a good idea to have this sort of music playing as we clap our corners. I do have a bowl and I know @PixelGirl does too, but playing a recording would leave our hands free to clap and smudge the white sage. Just an idea...

Thinking out loud - It might not go amiss to include shoes and bags on ‘Vignettes and Pets’ as well. I say this on the basis that I have been known to collect them er...frequently (hardly worn any of them in the last year or so but nevertheless...) and I think there might be just the smallest chance JUST a few others may be of the same cough mindset cough...

Yyyyyeeeeeeesssssss!!!!!

Wow! Feeling so much frustration after reading the other thread, yet so helpless. I understand the poster being heavily pregnant must be going through some heavy hormonal changes but do think she went overboard with getting offended. I felt so sorry for our french lady, I genuinely believe she was speaking of her own experience and nothing else.
My heart broke after reading @Miscanthus message. I haven’t been through it myself, but I know I will not be able to have kids. My boyfriend has been through a life changing trauma and has lost complete faith in him to start a family, physically and mentally. Wouldn’t even try/think going IVF route and I know we aren’t married so if I want kids I should just end things now but it is so so hard to do that. Going through very difficult self reflection to decide what I want moving forward in my life and reading that thread last night left me speechless. I knew speaking up will just bring more chaos.
I find so much comfort in knowing all you ladies are here and are so much help and supportive xx

I really feel for you. I don’t know if this will help you BUT I was once told this and it has really helped me. If you get a coin and say heads I should do this...and tails I should do that - then you toss that coin and it gives you your answer - THEN if you want to say to yourself “best out of 3’ from the result you just got then the right decision is the opposite of what you just got on the first toss. (If it wasn’t you would not have wanted to do the best of 3 because your answer would have come with the first toss). I hope you can understand this very badly written post. I am more than happy to attempt to explain it again if it sounds like gibberish. Also, maybe the energy on the other thread has resonated with you because it might be more uppermost in your mind than you maybe thought it was. It’s almost like you’ve been given a processing trigger by reading the views of the posters. Energy is SO powerful...half the time we aren’t even aware of it. It might really help you to have a good hard think. On a quantum level we can at times damage ourselves by doing something that doesn’t feel right. If it feels right do it - if it doesn’t don’t. That’s your inner bell - It rings for a reason.

I think I may have said this before on this thread but Tesla said this;

If you want to understand the secrets of the universe; think in terms of Energy, Frequency and Vibration.

It arrived!! My secret animal is Rat.

Came with a lovely note and some gift coins. Are these for good luck as well or more protection? Where should the coins be placed for optimum results?

@Miscanthus - Do you think some of us lot who are ’refugees’ yet still want to make sure we can all keep in contact (I do very much indeed) might benefit from our own thread where we can do just that? I thought maybe we could call it Ex ‘L‘ Spreadsheet or something like that. Whadderya’ think?

Does anyone has a tip how to clean a place from bad energy without painting and moving furniture? It is a hotel, so it is not an option. I was thinking about maybe flowers would help.
I personally do not believe in ghost, but there was a guy who came and cleaned them, but I think nothing changed. The place is generally great, but there is some part with few rooms which has a bad vibe. Others swears for ghost. For me it is somehow creepy quiet. It is not because of how it is built, because all the rooms are on the same side. But in these "bad" rooms, I can't really explain it, but you can hear the cars less(?) and it has a heavy feeling. Every time I leave this part and step over the hallway door I feel relief, and feel alive!

Gosh - that’s something you might want to ask a Feng Shui Master. I would feel out of my depth advising on anything to do with possible ‘ghosts’ and would be fearful of saying the wrong thing...I think what you are picking up on is the energy there. What I can say is clearing, smudging, airing, live flowers, letting light in and possibly realigning any furniture that could be better placed will surely help. In the earlier posts on here we touched on this when we did our clapping and clearing. Maybe read back on those pages - it might help you.

Hi there, a brief update:

I didn't win, it didn't go my way. I am very disappointed. I am especially shaken as I felt I did everything I could - I visualised (followed Oops' guidance), I meditated, I even saw my "sign" twice when I went for a walk in the morning - and still didn't get what I hoped for.

My lawyer had advised that it looked good for me - but the judge saw it differently.

Sorry to hear that.
Many years ago we lost a court case.
We told the truth under oath and he lied.
It made me view the legal system completely differently - it all depends on the judge you’re allocated sadly.
I’d prefer to lose by being honest than win by lying.
Even though we lost, it was a relief that it was finally over and a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders.
He will get his comeuppance one day I’m sure.
Take care x

Oh I love this! Some of these things are hard for me to adjust so I’ll need to find remedies. For instance, the mirrors in the bedroom & coffin style sleeping. Not sure I can change the position of the bed, and we are saving to get the wardrobes remodeled. They’re from the previous owners who, by the way, had A LOT of bad luck. Interestingly, we’ve had a lot of good luck since we moved into this house. When I’ve some time, def reading up on remedies.

One question about front door / back door. We have a door in between the two separating the rooms. The front & back door are not perfect in line, and there are stairs blocking a 100% view, but the back doors are also the whole lengthy (mostly) of the back side of the house, if this all makes sense.

Does the middle door “make up” fir possibly being able to see partway through the house. It’s so hard to explain

It is funny you say that about the previous owners. It was the same in our house. There was a lot of bad luck with the previous owners and looking at photos of the house's interior it was set up completely wrong. We had a friend come around a cleanse the house as well (if you believe in that sort of stuff) with sage.

 

[Oops...]

I am SO sorry if I did the wrong thing - I was trying to bring balance - I maybe failed miserably. I could feel the spiral and I wanted to hold a finger to the dam post haste - I was a bit annoyed she brought Nicky into it but I could feel her fear wasn’t necessarily about the weight so much as where she’s at at the pregnancy and is a nervous wreck about what she’s facing.

I think your response was perfect, though, as always, You are amazing.

When I read it @Milking Keynes I saw it as you trying to pour oil on troubled water not the other way round! You were the complete voice of reason and comfort IMHO EDIT. (As you always are, have been and will be - there I’ve said it).

 

[Milking Keynes]

Two new family members!

@Milking Keynes are you in the UK or in Southern Ireland, I seem to think it is Ireland for some reason?

We used a service much like this, but not this one to make calls to overseas without it costing us an arm and a leg, we would top up our account, follow the instructions and at the end of the call it would tell us how much credit we had left. It was significantly cheaper, pennies a minute, varied but where we were calling 5p I think. Finding a solution might mean that there is less anguish for you regarding the call to your Aunt, especially as you do seem to benefit from it. http://www.justcall.co.uk/how-it-works

Thank you so much, @PixelGirl

 

[whathastheworldcometo]

Good morning All,

Thank you Yes, I have seen the posts and also did some research from Feng Shui Masters. I am happy to share what I decided to do with my little money frog:

- I found the wealth corner using the Bagua and the compass on my iPhone
- I placed him an a sideboard in which I will now keep my bank cards - he will be facing my / my desk
- He has read eyes so is already activated but I put a red candle next to him
- I decided on a mantra (intention) so that he also knows when to get to work
- I also bought some Chinese Coins with red string that I will sit him on

Then I also need to de-clutter! This seems to be a major part of it and I am currently storing lots of boxes in my flat.

 

[Oops...]

Haha, he is just a little toad but I have high expectations

Does this mean you would put the two coin shaped money plants into the wealth corner as well? I was hesitant as they are two and not the three I initially wanted....

If it was me i would put one in my wealth corner and one in my wealth corner in a different room.(Not bedroom though) Hope this helps Also, always keep your loo seat down when not in use. (Just an easy add on) x

 

[Rubythefirebat]

What is the Lydia thread please?

Lydia Millen, she bored us to death, and started talking about feng shui on her thread. We loved it, so we started a thread for it.

 

[Oops...]

Oh thank you - it means the world - last thing I want to do is make matters worse for Miscanthus right now - things are off-key just as you predicted, and you second guess. I think everyone is coming from the right place, actually, it’s the energy that’s off so there are misunderstandings and then mistrust. It’s 100% as you said it would be.

We have eachother’s core support so if we keep sprinkling good intention can we halt the bad energy do you think?

Unequivocally yes! It can be diverted by good intent and steadfastness. What’s happened there possibly is a portal got opened and the bad energy whooshed in. So jointly you can ’put the door back up’. This should stop it happening (If you get my drift...)

EDIT. No-one needs to see the rear garden from the front door (It looks like I’ve started talking in parables )

 

[grumpycat]

Gosh, I’ve just had a re read of this thread after I keep meaning to sit down for so long and properly read it because when I come on here I like to really concentrate and take in everything that is being said and shared.

@Oops... I’m not sure if you remember, when I shared my bagua map I did of my house to check if I had done it right. The spare bedroom you mentioned would be a lovely room for another child.. will (fingers crossed all being well!) be filled with another child towards the end of the year when I was looking at it the other day (the room) thinking about it’s future your comment sprung to mind. It made me smile and made me remember to sit down and go through this lovely thread again. It really does have the best energy

@50sGirl i know you found me on the pregnancy thread - I have been catching up on here and saw your posts about your dad, and I hope this doesn’t upset you for me to comment, but I just want to say what a lucky pair of souls you and your dad were. He was very blessed to have such a kind hearted and loving daughter and I am sure he is so proud of you, and the way you keep his memory alive. Sending you love, and waves of healing hugs xx
