monday morning feng shui (on tuesday today): the power of plants

go green, we hear this everywhere.  from recycling at home, to hybrid cars, to eating organic...we get messages everywhere to make conscious choices in how we live.  

my version of going green involves adding plants to your home.  not only are they good for air quality, plants add so much life and vibrancy to a room or space.  in terms of feng shui, plants are considered an immediate cure or remedy to uplifting the energy of a space.  in simple layman terms, plants can bring immediate change to your space.  have you ever noticed the change in your mood, energy, or the air when you enter a greenhouse?  if you cannot recall, visit one soon and take the time to make mental notes about how you feel in this space.

for more beautiful images and green information, visit my friends over at the design chic blog today to view their post on plants.  they offer ideas for those of us, myself included, who have trouble keeping plants alive.  in my own space, i use cut stems in vases for instant green energy in places where the light isn't so good for growing plants.  my daughter's room is one of those spaces.  

whatever your skill level with plants, you will never go wrong with adding a plant or more to your space...great things can come from this small but powerful change.  happy monday and happy ch'i, dana

monday morning feng shui: a quick tip for instant change

good morning to all.  the sun is shining here, it is so beautiful to see the yellow glow on my porch today!  just a quick post...wherever you are, wherever you call home, your office or even if you are away on travel; this quick feng shui will make you feel instantly energized. 
 
use flowers or a plant to add instant life to your space.  if you need color, buy a bunch of fresh cut flowers at the nearest market; pay attention to the color you are attracted to as this has significance.  if color is not what you gravitate to, a small plant or even a single plant stem placed it in a nice, clear and clean vase will do the trick.  you will be amazed at how much these simple touches change your space, all while energizing and uplifting your mood.  ♥dana 
 

monday morning quick feng shui for your work or home office desk

Another Monday, another chance to start the week off right.  Coming off the weekend vibe can be difficult and can zap the weekend rejuvenation for some.  My first words of wisdom, grab a great cup of coffee or green tea to start your time at the office.  The sensory experience gives you just enough of a boost to energize yourself and starts you off in a positive place. 

While sipping your choice of beverage, tackle the feng shui of your desk.  What is this you ask?  The bagua map in feng shui placed in correct position over a house or room, can be applied to your office desk!  It's quite effective and takes just minutes to implement, making it a great Monday morning ritual. 

To start, organize your paperwork.  Place work to tackle immediately in a tray; and if necessary, use labeled, stacked trays to further organize projects.  Once your desk is somewhat cleared of paperwork, take a few moments to look at your desk, scan everything on it and decide what you love and what you do not love.  Remove what you do not love, if possible.  Use this time to create your personal sanctuary, keep in mind the bagua area you would like to focus on and map it out on your desk.  For example, the upper left-hand corner of the bagua is related to wealth, getting more wealth (however you define wealth), increasing opportunities for wealth to come in and resolving any blockages you may have in this area.  This can take just minutes to do, so don't worry about spending lots of time on this; remember, this is a quick "feng shui tune-up".
 
Wealth enhancements could be a plant to encourage growth in this area or a small water fountain.  These are just a couple of ideas, there are many things that could be creatively done...the possibilities are endless!  Make it a Monday morning priority to start off in this manner and wait to see what things come of it.  This is the beauty of feng shui.  love and happy ch'i, dana
