Yeeeessssssssssssssssss! SO HAPPY! I just needed to see you ...
How is your convalescence going? Thinking of you such a lot.
Been locked in the laundry hot-cupboard for a few days trying to get over myself

My much-unloved Tardis now has a problem with it’s shrinking sprocket-flange and the they can’t find grommets the right size for the rotary -unction-pacifier. Sending love, healing soup and organic sunbeams and snowflakes

I’ve been thinking of Teddy Bear, actually, as, when I got assigned to collecting doggy names for Downtonbury - in my imagination - Teddy Bear and Gem would fall in love - TB would sing ‘I am sixteen, going on seventeen...” from The Sound of Music and they would waltz outside staring into eachother’s eyes - ha - I’m a hopeless romantic (and TB turned sixteen in April, right?). Anyway, hugs to our wonderful fur babies.

Just how heart-melting is that? Warm and fuzzy creeping in this end...x

Get the ferry, woman - I’ll pick you up - me and Archer Karcher!

Other good news on the MK front, Mr. Mk is back to golfing - the man is reborn! No more sulking in front of Bloomburg Markets (Romaine - over to you - whacha got) Oh - I did despair..who could watch that soulless tripe..

I feel your relief! I feel it! I feel it!
I suspect Archer will welcome the extra time he can now spend with you

I hadn’t tried the money tree outside the front door but only because I know they don’t like draughts and some don’t like frosts. I say this only because I live in the UK of course . I believe it’s important to keep the leaves looking healthy and I think maybe the frost might discolour the leaves. In a warmer climate though I can see the great sense of it. I just have to use the wealth areas or my desk because of our weather

Hi there,

I love this thread, I’ve read it a couple of times and I’ve learnt so much - thank you all for everything you share.

Can I ask a couple of questions please? I’ve bought some money toads (and have had two lots of good financial news despite them still being in their boxes!) and wanted to ask how I go about setting their intentions when I put them on display in the house? Are there certain words I should say or a little ritual to do?

Also, the rose quartz crystal in the centre of my home, does it have to be hanging or could it be placed on a shelf?

Thanks all

The rose quartz will be very happy on a shelf. I have several all over the house and none are suspended.

Lovely to hear your toads are giving good results even from inside their boxes! Setting intentions just means telling them (maybe out loud) what you would like them to do for you. You can give each one a different job or give them both the same one whichever feels right. Turn them round at weekends so they can relax . Please keep us informed at what transpires now they have ‘broken free’.

Oh great, thank you. I bought some red coasters for them to sit on but didn’t know if I should talk to them as I put them out

I don’t know about your Dad’s house, someone like Oops would be best to advise. As someone suggested maybe 3 coins under the doormat? I know 3 is an auspicious number and someone else shared on here that they did that with their weekly lottery ticket and won (not millions unfortunately!) so maybe that would help.
Good luck with the sale of your Dad’s house, I hope it all goes smoothly for you. I don’t comment on here often but I read your posts about your Dad, both before and after he passed and I could tell how special he was and how much you love him x

Such a lovely post to leave.

I think with the money toads they need something red on them to “activate” them. So either a red ribbon tied to it, although some have red eyes or are red anyway are so already activated or you could sit it on a red piece of paper.

Speaking of money toads, we are about to put my Dad’s house on the market. We’ve cleaned and decluttered throughout but is it worth placing a money toad in the hallway, facing away from the front door so that it invites in money/offers? I’ve not done anything Feng Shui based in Dad’s house so any small (and discreet) ideas would be appreciated. Thank you.

If it feels right for you to do this I would go right ahead yes. You might also want to place one in the money corner of the sitting room. In addition if it is possible to advertise the property as “offers over” rather than a specific price you are setting your intention for an upward bidding situation. ( Just a small tip to help if it feels right). Hope this helps and please keep us all posted. X

The plot is the where the red dot is, end house but it isn’t a cul de sac

Thanks for that. On the map it looks like there is no exit at the top of the road so the house at the top will possibly suffer with the rush of energy that can’t keep moving. This isn’t the one you have marked so you should be fine. My only reservation might be that it’s a triangular plot. However, I imagine there will be fences up so it will not look triangular from your property. You may want to plant trees along the garden fence that backs on to the triangle shape. Good luck with this exciting new beginning and the time it will save you on the round trip travelling problem. As ever, do keep us posted. It is so interesting to hear of improvements and their results. Go girl

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.

Thanks I'll do a search

I’ve had a full fringe for years, explains everything

I have had a full fringe most of my life and do not seem to have much bad luck, lol.

Yesssss !!! So happy you are here

 

[Cunderthunt]

You've all got me into feng shui! I had a passing interest a while ago.

I have a question: the outlook from the back of my house is onto sports pitches, then beyond onto a horse field in the distance on the south west, and houses about 100m away in the south east.

I have heard that it's bad feng shui to have an open outlook at the back of your house.

Is there any remedy for this? We have planted fruit trees at the back of the garden which are about 13 feet tall now, but don't make much of a difference as they haven't changed the outlook from the top floor.

The land here is very flat so no noticeable change in elevation between my house and the background.

It is south facing, which I've heard is good.

Also any feng shui tips for endometriosis and chronic disorganisation?

 

[whathastheworldcometo]

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.

Thank you for your kind words.

It makes sense what you say - one aspect of the Feng Shui philosophy only won't rock the boat and make the world of difference.

Yes, I love crystals. I was meditating with pyrite (focusing on the money aspect) before and during the hearing took place.

I find it very hard to trust and often ruminate about what I could have done differently etc.

PMs

Re PMs We've kept them on for years now and it's gone from minor annoyances like when people don't spill tea and instead only send it via pm to people they deem worthy. Stuff like that is annoying as we'd like tattle to be inclusive and not cliquey. It got a bit more serious when quite a few...

tattle.life

Here you go

Okay, @Rubythefirebat, how did you do that?

 

[Oops...]

Great to read you had such a good day @Oops... and a good result.

@Ef27 There are places you can learn online, I don't know anything about how good those are at all. I did mine in person with a couple that taught Reiki and I did my levels I II and III with them. Their lineage was strong too, so I was glad I chose them. There is the Reiki Federation in the UK and you can search there for Reiki training https://www.reikifed.co.uk/reiki-near-me/

These guys are offering the training online https://www.udemy.com/course/reikicourse/ I have taken other courses with them before and they've been okay but it varies from tutor to tutor. The reviews seem quite good. With level I you can do Reiki on yourself, level II on others and well as distant healing, then level III (Master) you can teach.

Thank you SO much!!!! Love this post @PixelGirl - so hepful.

11am GMT?

Just tidying up, making trips to the dump (what we call the place you take your own rubbish that doesn't get picked up by the garbage company), always puts me in THE BEST MOOD! It's almost weird, how buzzed it makes me feel.

If anyone has a drawer even, that is always messy, just tackle that. It will make you instantly feel better. Even baby steps make a difference.

I've also found it helpful to, when possible, before getting up (just as I wake up), to take a few minutes and think about how I want things to go for the day. Not thinking about a list of things that must get done, as that's easily crushing. But visualizing the best scenarios. It can be really simple, for example, with our new puppy I envision a day of his having fun walks and play times and doing well with his potty training. I envision the kids getting along and doing well in their classes. I think of how much I love my husband. How grateful I am for our health and financial stability. Then I get up and it sets the day off right. If I know the morning is going to be busy and rushed, I make a point to think about these types of things as I drift off to sleep the night before.

It's the little things that snowball, both good and bad. If you can get the good snowballing, things start falling into place rather quickly.

Love what you say about your thoughts when you wake. I really do. Sounds like you have been very busy clearing too! Yes I should have said 11 am GMT but don’t worry if that’s too early or late for you. Cant wait to hear how you get on and if you notice any changes in the days afterwards.

 

[Milking Keynes]

oh apologies. I got my dates wrong! Thank you!

No problem. Your post got me thinking about stairs quite a bit. I’m reading about them today. I can understand why they are a feng shui challenge due to the opposing energy going up and down. I think they should be wide enough for two people to pass comfortably, be well lit, the materials shouldn’t oppose each other, and maybe include feng shui imagery on the wall half way up.

 

[chandlercheesecake]

Can I ask what is significance of the banana theme in this thread? Are they good luck?

 

[Oops...]

@Oops... Thank you for explaining the coin flip in detail x although I do feel it’s too soon to take that step as it’s not been long enough to know what I really want. It all came out first of the month so the emotions are still very raw.
I appreciate what my boyfriend is telling me, he keeps telling me that right now as I love him and want to be with him, I “may” think I’m ready to give up on marriage/kids but he thinks deep down I will want kids at some point and upon realising that he won’t be able to, will make me resent him eventually and he doesn’t want that. Nor does he want to see me sacrifice on my desires. He has made himself clear that if I wanted to end things now, he would fully support/understand the decision as he wants me to be happy.
We have been together 18 months, but I have not come across a man this honest, upfront and selfless. I’m totally baffled and at loss. I’ve noticed/felt change in his behaviour since this week. For eg no more saying love you unless I do first, no hugging/cuddling and worst of all he has not stayed over this week for the first time since last 6 months. He has got his younger brother staying at his own place for time being so not been at mine. Now I don’t know if this change in affection is intentional or not but it is so so upsetting. Sorry for the outpouring xx

I can hear how difficult this must be for you. I really hope it doesn’t overwhelm you too much. Things can change in a heartbeat can’t they? There’s a book called the I Ching which can be very useful to help give you advice and hope at the same time. I would recommend an English translation as the old Chinese translations can be difficult for us to understand. It is a book of ancient wisdom. It might help you to look into that right now. You throw coins and they create a hexagram and the hexagram answer is likely to be specific to what you need. I will try and find mine (have fairly extensive bookcases to go through first). I will put the book up here for you to see and I hope it helps you. In the meantime ,,,breathe...IT WILL ALL BE OK

Thanks, @Oops! . No, @Miscanthus hasn’t posted pics of her art unfortunately, I hope she does, though. I was congratulating her on her forthcoming exhibits. I would love to see her art so much. My dad, as you know from my posts, was a talented artist - as a hobby, really, - and it obviously skipped a generation

I’ve been looking forward to hearing more all day. I am sure she will tell us more about it soon.
Yes, you said about him being good at Art. I have a warm picture in my mind of your dear father from what you have said about him. I like drawing (as you can tell from my spell-binding efforts higher up) but definitely better at collecting it rather than actually doing the hard bit. That’s for sure.

 

[Geranium]

Can someone kindly recommend a money toad? I love real toads and frogs, incidentally. Toads have such glorious eyes!

 

[MissMidnight]

I am on mobile. Go to the thread, Click on web address, then copy. Then go to the thread you want to post, long touch in the post box and it offers to paste it. Then write your post. I prefer to check it in the preview to see if I pasted the right address.

Thank you, @Rubythefirebat, that was really helpful!
I did a practice run and checked it in the preview instead of posting and it worked perfectly, so if I need to do it in the future I know how to now!

I’m so sorry @Oops... instead of being helpful, I think I just confuzzled the living daylights out of you!

 

[happyforest]

I would say for simplicity if you stand in the doorway of each/any room these are the directions of that particular room. For instance my house runs East to West. However, for room placements I do it by holding the bagua in front of me in the doorway of that room. So my sitting room faces East however all my placements in my sitting room are done from the bagua standing in the doorway of the sitting room.
This is a grey area in Feng Shui and it would take pages to explain all the different ways and approaches. Hope this helps and doesn’t confuse more.

Thank you, that is very helpful.

Omg @Milking Keynes I’m a Snake too (ironic as they terrify me). I’ve ordered the monkey talisman via the link mentioned above. Will keep you posted.

I have just received some very good news (financially) today after trying to resolve it since January. I did get Crassula plants in early March as mentioned previously and they are both planted in green ceramic pots although it was suggested to put outside on either side of the front door... can’t do that due to the weather in the uk but I put them on each side of my front door on the inside. I don’t know if this is a co-incidence but I thought I would share the good news with you all

Er...no such thing as coincidence you know!! Great news - so delighted you had such a good result so quickly.

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?

They attract money. Thread red ribbon through them and put them in a drawer where you keep/file your bills. Or you can place them in your purse. When I set my company up centuries ago I had 3 coins threaded with ribbon on the front of my invoice file. I still have it as a memento today. We actually sent out paper invoices in those ancient times...The front cover of the red invoice file was many years later framed and put up on my office wall - just as a reminder. You may remember I said had everything Feng Shui’d when I set my company up by a FSM.

Or you can put the coins in a gold bowl in your wealth corner/area either in a room or on your desk.

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

Hi again so very happy to hear all your excellent good news! This came from your focus and set intentions. Well done.

Please can you put up a larger site plan and say which of the
houses you are considering? It’s hard to see the most auspicious position without details of surrounding property. Thank you xx

For instance it’s important not to live in the end house in a cul de sac...

Hi all. I’ve been quietly following this thread and enjoy your insights. I was reading an article about the benefits of snake plants. It absorbs CO2, removes allergens and toxins like formaldehyde and toluene from the air. The article said it is also good “feng shui” but didn’t get into it much. What do we know about this and other houseplants in those terms? I know money tree has been discussed. I just love my snake plant which has grown so much that today I divided it into 2 new plants. What a gift! 🪴

I know that spiky plants like cactus are not good indoors as they can cause arguments and spiky conversations. I am not sure of what a snake plant is can you put up a photo?

 

[Oops...]

Thank you for thinking of me @Milking Keynes, I’m so glad I found this little corner of the internet - you are all helping to keep me sane at the moment.

Nooooooo dearest - you lot are helping to keep me sane and have done for over a year. (Do you see who I’m sounding like?)
