~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Featured Article: A Feng Shui Garden This time of year brings thoughts of renewal and growth. For many of us, this also means garden
planning. Feng Shui gardens inspire our spirit and connect us with Mother Earth. Whether you live in an apartment, condo, or single-dwelling home; whether placing a potted plant on your patio or having
landscape professionally done; position everything in its right place and according to Feng Shui principles. This helps to create a healing, harmonious and natural environment.
Use three basic Feng Shui concepts in your overall design:
- Energy flow (wavy or curved edges are desirable; straight lines strongly focus energy and can be negative).
- Yin and yang balance--yin (dark, soft, passive, shade, muted color) and yang (light, hard, active, bright, pure color).
- Productive and reductive relationships of the five elements: Wood, fire, earth, metal and water.
The ideal setting for any Feng Shui project is similar to a good chair…A high supportive back, two arm rests, and a support for feet/legs (such as an ottoman). The table below shows placement of these symbols:
- Tortoise--the turtle provides stability and can be symbolized by a mound of high plants or trees, a hill, or statue.
- Dragon-this empowers relationships (people energy) and is symbolized the same way as mentioned above.
- Tiger-empowers abundant energy. Symbolize the same way but must be lower (height) than the dragon. Let's keep a healthy perspective in that love is more important than accumulation of wealth and things!
- Phoenix-symbolizes opportunity. This is a small mound, or statue of a bird.
Apply these basic Feng Shui principles to your garden sanctuary:
- Stand in the center of your planned garden space. Envision how you want it to look. Is this your plan for this year, or are you working toward a long-term plan?
- Use a compass to determine the eight directions. Some people are intimidated by this idea. Treat yourself to this knowledge as a compass is a good friend.
- Refer to the guide below to place the corresponding colors, symbols, numbers and elements in their matching areas.

To summarize:
Curve pathways and soften corners
Let the garden be full of surprises
Maintain a sense of privacy
Keep it simple
Include a water feature (how it flows, where it drains, etc., are very important)
Plants and greenery are a must
Ensure there's a place to sit (preferably for two)
Avoid anything looking too man made
Birds, bees, and butterflies are a must…their pollination keep plants around
Ensure all elements are represented (fire, earth, metal, water, and wood)
Remember to keep your gardening project in perspective (size and effort)…let it be a wonderful expression of you, and a pleasure for others. Enjoy! ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Question of the Month: For answers to more questions, see Feng Shui Facts.Q: We want to get married. Are there better days than others?
A: Yes!
- There are good and bad energy days.
- There are days better for particular activities, and days to avoid for those activities.
- There are good and bad days for us as individuals (based on our birth date).
If you have an important occasion to schedule or attend, it's worth researching energy patterns, so be sure and
consult with us for a good day. Walt Disney and others have successfully run their empires using this information.~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Tip of the Month: May's Energy My prayers are with the families of the victims of Virginia Tech. April's energy was fire
(explosion) and in 2007 this was unfavorable for children. It is not rewarding when predictions such as these unfold. On May 6 we enter an eight (earth) energy. In a two (earth) year, this
brings the potential for miscarriage. People who were once team or family oriented may prefer to be alone (not surprising after Virginia Tech). Health problems and money loss may
occur. Knowing this, take precautions and reach out. Pigs caution this month. Snakes caution this year. If you have an important decision to make (or action to take) be sure and consult with us for
a good day. Want to reduce your risk? Call us at 1-866-689-6891 to find out how you can be more proactive! Energy Days This Month

- May 3 is a low energy day so plan a day of cleaning or decluttering.

My husband was out of town and I was wore out. Two of our children came to me in the night because they couldn't sleep. Instead of returning to their beds, they went into the bathroom
to entertain themselves. They placed water in pails and carried it to the playroom, where they thoroughly soaked the carpet. I was furious until our Feng Shui report arrived and said our
home needed a water remedy in the playroom. Considering one child is a fire element and the other earth, water is a dominating factor for both and something neither child is
particularly drawn to … so to carry water where it was needed as a remedy is extraordinary. Evidentially (as you've said) people's intuition sometimes draws them to what their
environment needs. The report brought it all together. Their intuition was picking up on the energy!
