Feng shui

[Geranium]

I was so touched by your post. Truly . Also, it has INSPIRED me! I had a moment! I am absolutely mad about Interiors. They give me so much joy. Also, so do animals. I KNOW I’m not the only one. Maybe we could have a new topic thread where we could all share snapshots of some of our own interiors maybe or interiors we really like the look of AND our own pets! I am thinking it could maybe be called ‘Vignettes and Pets...’ I could write poems and songs about the pets again - I LOVE doing that and ANYONE else who wanted to could too.

The best part of Fur Babies (for me) was seeing the photos and hearing about the characteristics of everyone’s beloved pets. The mixture of sadness and joy of the Rainbow Bridge Babies (I bawled my eyes out writing some of them) and the feel-good factor of us all sharing them. So combining the two might give us a really happy, joyful site to visit and share together...So we’d have Feng Shui here and Interiors and Pets there; Whadderya’ think? If you like the idea I can set up a new thread tomorrow.

...this is me doing a giggle-fandango at the thought of it...

Id love that thread...

So if you remember we wanted to sell & we did for over the asking price after the first day on, we had 5 offers over the asking price & after meeting a lovely couple of ftb accepted their offer. We are deciding between a new build prop on it’s a row of three houses & we can’t decide between the two end ones mortgage accepted in principle but still some number crunching to do x looking forward to no more hour round trip school runs Any tips for bringing in a fortune or helping decide on a house most welcome x ive popped the plot photo on I know it seems 370 might not be a good option but it’s got a garage

I’m delighted that you recommended The Spruce. I was googling the money toad when we first opened this thread and came across it and I similarly found it to be a very calming, informative, well-laid out website.

I was wondering, @Oops, if I can get my girls to do the energy clapping and smudging in their rooms or if it ideally should be the same person throughout.

I can do either of the times mentioned so await your confirmation.

I would say it would be perfect if your girls do the clapping yes! Make a family fun day out of it .

Hopefully we can agree a time suitable for all soon - Great you can do any of the times mentioned x

 

[PixelGirl]

Thank you. I need to do this. All his things are gone and I'm doing a huge clear out. House feels lighter already but will clap and put the salt down too!

Yes, I got rid of lots of things, I had to sell the house as I couldn't afford it on my own. I downsized considerably, but I love this house I am in now. It's not grand at all and for my daughter and me, it is enough. I hope you find your happy, I did x

@Oops... @Milking Keynes @namina @happyforest
Girls, so pleased I tracked you down. How are you? What on earth happened? I feel completely discombobulated. I apologise if I said anything offensive. I wanted to step away but I felt I should start the new thread. There was so much I wanted to write about our lovely group and how we are all different but respect each other's opinions but I ended up not being able to express it....

Thank God you’re here - you two are besties - two peas in a pod - you will resolve this together, I know. Love you both

I have no idea what is going on on that thread. Some bad karma is there for a while.
And last night was such a sesitive subject. IMO the poster got offended, and while giving voice for it, posted such an offensive post it was hard to ignore.
The thread has fear all over it. Fear of posting and get banned or loosing other members.
Sending love to everybody! Life is an absolute challenge, and everybody is a hero on their own to deal with it!

I tend to think it might be the energy I was trying to suggest should be avoided when I tried to ask for a certain word to be considered a no-no...for the good of all. Rather like the removal of the kitchen door so you could see straight through from the front to the back because then trouble just whooshes through. Look what happened there - 4 ‘gates’ in quick succession. If there was an emoji for a deep sigh this is where I would put it.

 

[Oops...]

I'm so sorry I was not there for you @Miscanthus ... But your response was 100% on point, you brought tears to my eyes. I am sending you virtual hugs for making such a brave brave post

You are such a supportive rock to all of us @Namima . You are a .

As soon as I saw @Miscanthus ‘s post I went to look but it was a few hours too late. She has spoken her truth and dealt with it well. I really feel for her too. As ever @Milking Keynes saw it as it was happening and went in with exactly the right post giving reassurance about how everything went back to normal quickly for her. Then it kicked off again...I read so much sadness and heartbreak there last night . My heart really went out to those who so bravely posted. I do agree with scrolling past as @Miscanthus says (I used to scroll past the dehumanising posts about women’s anatomy because I learned to know who was most likely to make them) but sometimes you have read the post you wish you’d scrolled past and the damage has been done. It’s a hard one. I think it’s so comforting that we support each other though .

 

[PixelGirl]

I've been catching up with this thread for the past week or so, I'm really enjoying the information and the general sense of support and positivity <3 I have some questions (which I will ask later, when I can gather more thoughts more eloquently) but trying these out to feel less stuck and trapped sounds like a great start. I am not in a position to alter anything where I currently live - even though I badly want to but hopefully even adjusting my own space will help lighten things up a little bit.

Don't worry about being eloquent about your thoughts, ask away, hopefully we can offer some help x I'm offline now for a while, but I will check in later x

 

[MissMidnight]

Good for him! It’s his revenge!! Ha.

I think he’s loving the power a little too much!

Speaking of the year of the Ox. As an Ox, this year is a rather sluggish one for me (and it's true in that I'm exhausted and the year just started LOL). So I need all the luck I can get and will get some protective talismans for my purse or phone case. My protection animal is the Rat. I'm seeing a tonne of purse mice talismans. I guess rats and mice are interchangeable in this instance?

From what I read today about my own sign, Rat, that the year of the Rat for me is not my most auspicious, so I am guessing that is the same for you as an Ox when it's your year? I'll have a look at those website links thank you. Found this, get your partner to buy you some red underwear to ward off bad fortunes lol https://www.chinahighlights.com/tra...bring-yourself-good-luck-on-ben-ming-nian.htm

 

[Milking Keynes]

Just seen this
It wasn't your fault you didn't see my post. There was a problem with it. I could see it here but there were no reactions to it and it was just sitting here. I looked on my activity list and it wasn't there! I decided to report it, even though I thought I had broken a rule, and miraculously it was ok!
I'm with you...I think I was shocked when I realised my dependency on our group and I've felt quite stunned by everything that's happened, but I couldn't have got through Lockdown without you!
PS you must pop across and see Ali's outfit...


Thank you so much

It couldn’t understand how I didn’t see it either, however, it happened me once, my comment just sitting there no reaction. I eventually realised that my post and one other had the same post #number so mine never actually went up and I had to retype and post it - it’s rare but it happens.

 

[Oops...]

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.

Oh no! That’s so unfair. I WISH I could have been more helpful...such a disappointment for you.

On Lidl thread. Please send help.....

Oh dear...Just went to have a look when I saw your post! Not again !!
Loved what @Jeana J said and the encouragement from @Milking Keynes and @propane_lover - I sent you a heart and here’s another one. I’m so sorry.

 

[Oops...]

I did see one disturbing avatar. It’s still there, though, so now I’m unsure if it’s the same one. I always feel sick when the word in question is ever mentioned and I feel on-guard like I can’t relax - so we were absolutely on the same page. I know you specifically related it to bad energy so you backed up your point with reason. Lovely to see Namima here last night - what a wonderful support. I’ll most likely give the other thread a break for a day or two and, hopefully, things will rebalance and we can get back to normal.

Oh - is it still there? I thought it would be taken down. Well in that case its a good illustration of bad energy attracting more bad energy. I will go back and have a look to see if its the one I was talking about or if its another one. Like you I always feel sick too - so were 40 other people so it’s comforting not to feel the only one isn’t it? I see it as dark energy which is to be avoided like the plague. Yes it was lovely to see our Namima and Dandy and happy forest. I have rung my bell for MissMidnight too.

OMG, please tell me @Oops... hasn't been banned. She is such a lovely poster, full of wisdom and support.

I am so sorry to see all the recent discord and discomfort in the other thread. @Oops... was so bloody right, bad energy snowballs. Sending you all big positive hugs. This place is only as good as its posters and we need all of us to keep the wit and participation going. Tattle has been a big consistent highlight for me this past horrible year.

So good to see you again!!! No I haven’t been banned just feeling a bit misunderstood, misquoted and missing in action

Same - we need to keep supporting eachother no matter what. A was idiotic in refusing to take down the post (content considered) on the other hand, the other one was complaining on far too many levels before the event - lets stick together and really watch out for eachother.

I am SOOOO sorry you felt so stressed. Truly. Yes I 100% agree we should stick together and watch out for each other too.

Oh, this is devastating news, @Oops - I was hoping we could possibly go back to where we were before all this. I’m going to have to have a serious rethink now that you think the bad energy there might be a permanent thing.

Noooo, please don’t let it spoil your enjoyment - I’m trying to say my energy isn’t right for it and how I see it going potentially - I now REALLY regret saying what I have said. PLEASE forgive me I am so sorry. I should have been more considerate and not made it sound so doom laden. I am going to go and have a little think of solutions to it rather than focussing on the negative side of it. BRB x

Seeking @AmaliaLana
Anyone heard from our girl ?

I am now wondering if and whether the boxes in the hallway behind the entrance door to my flat created bad Feng Shui and blocked the flow of money into my flat and that this is responsible for the negative outcome of the court case.

I totally blame myself

I haven't read about your situation but what's done is done and you must look forwards, not back. You can't change what is done, but you can change how you react to it and how you let it affect you.

Boxes definitely do obstruct the flow of Chi. BUT you also have to look at the situation on the whole ... if you live your entire life via Feng Shui principles (like a religion) and didn't achieve the desired outcome then it's worth probing what might have caused that; but if you just adopt bits and pieces of the practice then it's not worth worrying about.

I don't know if you work with, or are interested in crystals? They can help in court cases (moonstone springs to mind); it's important not to place all your faith in these things though - trust in the process that what's meant to be, will be. This won't be evident at first but at some point down the line you'll look back and see it had to happen.

 

[Milking Keynes]

Definitely do not sleep with your feet facing the door of a bedroom. They say also you should not have an uncovered mirror in your bedroom at night too. If you can arrange everything in twos on your bedside table it makes for good relationships. There are so many little tips for the bedroom. Lilian Too helped me a lot when I was setting of on my quest years ago since she understands the western outlook. Do let us know when you feel ready to clap wont you? Also, @PixelGirl has put up some really good places for research higher up the thread.



PERFECT!! Sooo good to hear that - I hoped you would. I did too.

So frequency is how others pick your energy up - so its the electrical charges you put out as energy and how that can be received. So when/if your frequency is off kilter others can misunderstand you for instance and you wont understand why they have misunderstood you. So its the vibration you vibrate on. Its really hard to explain but you notice it if a pattern starts to happen when others misunderstand you for instance if that makes sense. Or if someone is unkind to you for no reason and you feel hurt by that. The only way I know how to deal with mine is to ask myself what I’m doing wrong until I get the answer. Then I have to consciously work on that so my frequency makes me approachable or more compassionate or more steadfast and able stand up for myself. I would love for this to be taught in schools because it would be so helpful for children to take responsibility for their actions and learn to trust how they feel and how they come across. Hope that explains it a bit. However, bear in mind this is only my interpretation intuitively. Someone else might have a different meaning for frequency. You can be very drawn to someone’s energy but their frequency is something that makes you really like them (or not).

After I did my clearing on Sunday and changed the energy around me (and therefore my energy too) I became aware of my frequency being a bit off. So I have spent some time this week getting in touch with people I haven’t spoken to for a while and just realigned with them. I knew it needed to be done because maybe they were misunderstanding why I hadn’t been in contact. So yes it is more focus and examination I guess. (Why give a short answer when you can meander for a paragraph like I just have?)

There was a man called Royale Rife who invented a machine that cured cancer many years ago. Naturally it was called a Rife Machine. Apparently he was a Tesla based scientist (energy, frequency, vibration) and he found the exact frequency a tumour emitted and then blasted the tumour with that exact same frequency it was operating on and the tumour just disappeared. So this is a good example of frequency. I think the establishment did not like the fact he could heal people with the frequency or the vibration of his electric sound waves so they stopped him practising saying there was no scientific proof. The people he cured may well have disagreed. Or they may have ALL had spontaneous remission...I think he tried his machine out on 38 people only. So not very many.

So incredibly helpful. I will definitely heed your advice. Personally, when I hope something goes away instead of addressing it directly, that’s when the negative energy sets in and I get defensive, probably because I feel guilty. An example is, I have an aunt who lives abroad and only has a landline. She has no whatsapp/facetime and when I call her, she keeps me at least an hour on the phone - and I can’t help but think I’m going to be down 70 to 80 eu each time! Plus, since my mum died in 2016, long phone calls don’t really happen so I have to psyche myself up each time. I’m going to suck it up, though, because I always feel a cloud lift after I talk to her. I am also guilty of not touching base enough with my friends and I aim to improve there as well.

Another thing, and @Gertrude referenced this - is that the pandemic has given us a new, unforeseen, normal, whereby we have our own work/life routine from home. I absolutely agree with her with regard to the anxiety of returning to a more tumultuous reality. It is inevitable but it will be hard.

I would love to do the clap for energy every month. I really enjoyed the run up to it as well - a thorough clear out and spring clean, the feeling of everything clean and bright as prep, and wearing something lovely, all contributed.

My lovely money toads arrived! So happy. Still waiting on the rose quartz, though.

 

[Oops...]

Thank you so much for all this info. I find it so fascinating and I’m just off to draw a floor plan of our home to place a bagua on top.

I feel like much of this I’m already drawn to naturally, and it really excites me. On the plus side, our house is a perfect rectangle so that’s a little easier!

If its a perfect rectangle it makes it very good indeed.

Mine is L shaped so I have a lot of filling in to do on my terrace at the rear of the house. It has removed 2 really important areas of my house so I have to recreate them in my garden as it were. (Long explanation but wont go into that detail just yet as it may confuse anyone just starting).

I did clapping this morning after seeing your post about clapping the other day @Oops... But I think I was doing it wrong. I was just clapping with no sense of direction. I would love to participate in group clapping. Sunday might work well for me.

Also is living under the stairs bad juju? My old apartment complex is 3 floors and my front door is right behind the stairs. I hated walking in every day because it felt that I am walking right under the stairs to get to front door. I got into a lot of arguments. We had to leave within 2 weeks of moving in due to legal reasons between the owner and the board of directors of the apartment complex. (this was all in middle of lockdown and we were only given a one day notice). Now this new place we are at is also slightly behind/under the stairs. Should we move?

Weerrrlll...I would use Harry Potter as a very good example of living under the stairs

What an awful thing to happen during lockdown!

Are you saying that your front door is actually under the stairs? If so I have never come up against this problem - ever...Anyone else got any ideas? All I can think of when I picture it is heaviness on entering which possibly could stay with you whilst you are in there. The front door is very important because it is the mouth of the house. If something is wrong with your front door that can translate as you won’t be emotionally fed properly or nurtured. This might then express itself with head or stomach problems...Its one to very carefully consider it seems...I will do a bit of digging to see if I can find something to help...x

 

[Gertrude]

- My sister lived with me for a while. She was VERY ill here and suffered from really serious digestive and women's issues. When she moved out her health rapidly improved.

Seems like you have been through a lot in your house. Hope that you are doing better now?
Sorry, no advice to give, but just wanted to comment re your sister and her health. I have various 'women's issues' that seem to have started when I moved into my current place, so am wondering whether it's linked? Glad your sisters health has improved, since moving out.
Apparently, the clear quartz is a 'master healer' so will be ordering that one.

Lovely website, you’re right. Love the rose quartz pieces. Unfortunately, their shipping outside of the UK will incur customs charges for me so I’ve ordered the money frog/toad from Amazon and some rose quartz from holisticme.com to get started. Just read that the money toad should never be left on the floor and should never be too raised too high on a table but rather at the same height as your pockets so the money can pour in! So fascinating! Plus, can be placed near front door facing in, and office desk that may hold financial papers. Am so excited to learn more.

ETA That sounds greedy. Eek!

Ohh, you will have to have to show us pictures of your purchases when they arrive! The crystals I want to order are currently out of stock, so I shall have to be a little patient.
I've also been looking for a money toad, but can't find one that I like. I'm looking for a clear one, if that's a thing!? That's very interesting re the different placements of them.

 

[Milking Keynes]

Amazing! I love the bubble detail, I can see it moving!

Thank you, @Rubythefirebat - I just took a quick pic of it on her wall so my photo is dreadful!
