Feng Shui Goodness

So, this post is a little late. My Feng Shui experience went very well. We started out with an analysis of my Chinese Horoscope. Master Yau started out by telling me everything I needed to know about my life including an analysis of my personality, relationships, business, children and more. Apparently I'm not supposed to get married until I'm about 36. I'm also supposed to date women who are much older than more much younger than me. Sounds good to me.

The most important part of the reading was my elemental balance. In Chinese Medical theory, we look at the 5 elements and their properties and balance in the human energy system. According to my profile, I'm high in water, relatively balanced in fire and earth, and low on wood and metal. In terms of Feng Shui, this means that I need to fill my space with more wood and metal items and less water items to create a balance that works with my energy.

The beautiful piece of artwork pictured above is what happened when Master Yau started to do his work on the space. Each space has 8 areas on the compass that are set when the structure is built. These have varying degrees of luck from luckiest to unluckiest. My most lucky places seemed to be kitchens and bathrooms (red) and my unlucky areas were right smak in the office, bedroom and gathering areas (purple). No problem though. That's what Feng Shui is all about.

He suggested plants, guardians and other tips to offset the negative effects of the unlucky spaces. I know you can get the little Feng Shui creatures really cheap in Chinatown but I've decided that I only want to get things that I really love, so I've been gathering these items slowly.

Last week, my beautiful Jade Pixiu came in the mail and today I received two metal Kylin protectors for my office. They really hold the space together. I also just got a new desk for my office, an amazing organic shaped couch, and a low natural wood table. The space is really starting to come together!

My ultimate vision (I had this inspiration while sitting on the couch which has now been dupped the 'epiphany couch') is to create a collective of like minded people here in LA to host gatherings and events for the purpose of teaching and sharing knowledge in wisdom and community.

If you happen to be in LA, please join me at my first event this Friday, Tantric Beat. I'll be teaching an Energy Awareness/Qigong class there.

More to come...
