Mirrors are a great way to cure a “missing” sector of the home. If the shape of your home, or of a room, is incomplete (such as a diagonal wall cutting off a corner or in an L-shape), you can complete the shape symbolically with a mirror. Place a mirror on the diagonal wall to extend it back and make the room feel complete. For an L-shaped room or house, place a mirror on the wall that you want to visually extend into the missing part (choose one wall for the mirror—no need to put a mirror on both walls that form the L).

Business Mojo: Achieving Success Through Mystical Exploration

According to Feng Shui, the New Year “gold standard” is to move 27 things around your home on New Year’s Day and then sit back and wait for Fortune and Luck to invade your life from every conceivable direction. Moving 27 things might be harder to do than you think, but remember, it will also count if you simply move the salt shaker to the other side of the pepper. The object here is only to shake it up in order to change it up. Then you’ll find that the “same old, same old” will head the way of 2010.

While New Year’s Day has come and gone, it’s never too late to start!

Feng Shui Conference, London

From the Website:

This beautiful fountain unifies several powerful feng shui elements in one place. Slate represents the element of earth – yin, i.e. feminine energy. The element of earth is believed to attract and represent stability. Copper bowl represents the feng shui element of metal. In feng shui lore, copper symbolizes the element of metal, i.e. form and organization. Flowing water is an auspicious element of wealth and prosperity.

As water flows from the top tier of natural slate onto the copper bowl, it creates a soothing and serene focal point. This beautiful fountain perfectly compliments your office or home.

One fountain will be given away. This sweepstakes ends November 24, 2009, and can be entered here.

In feng shui, there are a few very basic, yet potent, guidelines to creating an effective office environment – and that can instantly boost the career quotient of almost any office inhabitant. Although, some offices may require more extensive rearrangement to help promote success, most offices only require a few modest changes. Use these suggestions to help you create your own “Power Office.”

1. Sit in the power position.
This is situated opposite and diagonal from the door or opening to the room. The desk should be here facing the door. Draw more emphasis to this area by creating a focal point with a lamp, artwork, tall plant, etc. This also helps create a straight line of sight to this area, imbuing even more power and authority. What’s more, this corner is also considered the lucky corner of any room – so you definitely want your desk there!

2. Sit behind a power desk.
A power desk is one that is substantially-sized and correctly placed. A power desk is never an L-shaped desk (the shape of which is like a cleaver or hatchet, and is thought to cut the person sitting at the desk). It also has specific dimensions.

Here are dimensions for an auspicious desk (in inches):
75Lx43WX33H or 66-70Lx24-27Wx32-33H
Small desks are deemed inauspicious and thwart future growth.

3. Sit in a power chair.
A good chair is one with a high back and arm rests (solid, if possible). Although the chairs that are designed for the back are very popular right now, their open weave does not provide good symbolic support for the person occupying them.

4. Put power behind you.
Power includes symbols of mountains, banking or business photographs, and your boss. Be sure that your desk does not face your boss’ desk, but rather, he or she is behind you — even if he or she is on the other side of the building. This also means you should never sit with a window (no support; unless it is a window with a view to a very prominent business or bank), door (no advancement), or bookshelves (backstabbing) behind you.

5. Get power in front of you.
Keep the path in front of your desk open and clear. If there are obstructions, such as chairs, etc., the path to a rise in your career will also be obstructed.

6. Activate your desk dragon.
Put fresh flowers in the left-hand corner of your desk (as you are sitting at it). Or, place a plant in this corner. This is the ‘dragon side’ of your desk and it benefits tremendously from the special energy of plants and flowers. Never, ever put bonsai plants in your office, or your career will be stunted and short-lived. Nor should you decorate with cactus, or your career will be riddled with problems and difficult working relationships.

According to feng shui, the Chinese technique for design and arrangement, rooms that have good energy, or “chi”, create happier, well-adjusted children. Feng shui theories suggest that for a child’s room to have good “chi,” the room must follow certain guidelines such as that they must be restful, promote good relationships others and generate good self-esteem. Perhaps most importantly, harmonious children’s bedrooms encourage good study habits and promote greater success in school.

What does it take to promote greater success in school? According to feng shui, the following seven tips are key to creating rooms that inspire kids to study.

1. The room has a desk.
It sounds obvious, but many kids’ only workspace is either a bed, the bedroom floor, or the family dining table. Every child needs a suitable study area in the bedroom that includes a desk, chair, and a lamp. Children with study areas are more likely to study. Better still, having a study area keeps all the school books and papers confined to the child’s room. Feng shui also believes it’s best for children to study facing the northeast, the direction of wisdom and learning.

2. Ground your kids.
Buy your kids a globe to promote interest in geography and to help “ground” them and encourage them to study. Add a globe in the Northeast corner of the bedroom, if possible.
