Happy New Year 2015

Hello everyone! Welcome to a new calender year. I wish you a bright and blessed 2015 full of laughter, fun and harmony.

It has been a while since I have nourished this blog, but this morning, I woke up with memories swirling through my mind about how and why I utilise Flying Stars Feng Shui in my life. The writing up of the Annual Influences Guide 2015 has been coming to a close for the last few weeks, and with the distraction of festivities at this time I've been unable to complete as much work as I felt like. It's been a 'trade-off' between being present for my family or getting other work completed. Being present for my family would always win, and so my mind has had the downtime to mull over the workings of the feng shui I've put in place for social occasions and to help things 'run smoothly'.

In my thoughts I was taken back to about a decade ago when I found that feng shui theory was becoming more and more interesting for me. I'd read all the tit-bits, magazine articles, and pop online to view some of the suggestions for more harmony in life from the well known experts. It was while I was 'searching for harmony' that I came across a lady in my own state who was practicing 'holistic feng shui'...incorporating various aspects of other holistic therapies into the feng shui theory. Buddhism had already caught my attention, and I had been practising meditation, as well as loving up some crystal therapy and aromatherapy too, so the idea of bringing all these things that were familiar to me already into the new avenue of feng shui really appealed!

Our homes are our haven and sanctuary. A place of protection and rejuvenation.

Studying at The Institute of Holistic Feng Shui opened up my life to what I'd like to call 'useable feng shui'...the sort of thing you could easily implement into your daily life and make changes that promoted good outcomes I could notice. This was important to me, because I feel that I am a natural skeptic ... I do need to experience something for it to mean something to me, and with holistic feng shui theory I ended up having many amazing experiences. Here's a list of just a few about the 'basics'...
* clearing away clutter and providing an inviting space in the Wealth Sector of the home (the SE area)  - we won $9000 on a lottery ticket
* clearing away clutter and organising the children's rooms, implementing mantra music and meditation time before bed - our children were able to go to sleep easily and learned to put themselves to sleep, plus, my connection to them improved because of this devoted time spent with them and for them
* using flower essences, music, mantra, incense and aromatherapy on a daily basis increased my level of peace and my ability to navigate through stressful situations when they arose
* cleansing on a physical level led me onto an awakening of my senses, and a higher level of consciousness - I became aware of a world I only remembered from my childhood.

But it wasn't until I'd studied 'Flying Stars Feng Shui' that I really understood the potency of the spaces we inhabit. Houses, to me, until then were just structures that could be affected by energy from the aesthetics, the people who lived there and 'where' they were in a suburb or city or place. However, Flying Stars was going to show me for real what a house's structure combined with it's history and it's construction date could manifest. As I said, I feel I am a born skeptic, so what eventuated was what I now know is 'universal synchronicity'...when forces align to show you something specific. It felt like my world was falling apart, but such things happen so you are able to build anew.

This is the grid of Planet Earth. Each  numeral represents an energy type. Each building has it's own grids for active and passive energy and there is also a grid for the Time Period it is built in as well. Each grid is overlayed and combinations form from this, which are then interpreted. All very simple really yes?

Flying Stars uses the construction date of a home similar to an astrologer would use someone's birth date. Along with the Facing reading (the compass degree the house aligns with), Flying Stars plots a chart of the house's energy grid, which is then interpreted using the same method as the I Ching. Complicated is an understatement when you are learning this method, but to grasp a sense of mastery with interpreting a chart is like seeing the planets for the first time. Magical stuff!

I had just moved house after completing my Advanced Holistic Feng Shui course where I had been introduced to FSFS. I realised that the house I'd moved into was called a 'Fan Yin' chart which is fine in the Time Period (a 20 year period) it is constructed in, but has the unfortunate potential for great disharmony when the next Time Period of 20 years clocks over. I had signed the lease already, and we were moving in just twelve months after the new Time Period had clocked over. To be honest, the possibility of 'problems' didn't seem real to me. Then a few months elapsed, and I began to see what was unfolding. Terror would have to be my first true reaction. Panic was second. Refusal the third. Solution finding with a positive attitude fourth. Complete arrogance of the situation fifth, and then finally the light dawned on what needed to be done. We had to move out. And quickly.

Fan Yin chart houses have the potential to make a 'hemorrhaging of harmony' occur. Health, finances, peace of mind, etc. When problems began to arise I implemented the strategies of the holistic feng shui I had been using at the other home. Things improved slightly, but then 'something else' would tumble into our lives and disrupt our harmony. We had gone through inexplicable ill health problems, traumatic states of mind, utter dis-satisfaction with pretty much every sector of our lives. The crux came when my husband lost the contract for his business' income and our savings went from substantial to being $11000 in debt when we finally moved out. We broke the lease and suffered an extraordinarily difficult 'exit' of that property to our new home. It didn't 'end' till we had finalised some complicated financial problems with the removalists. This symbolically ended our association with the 'Fan Yin House' and we experienced a bloom of good fortune in all levels of our Life Experience at our new place.

I think of what might have become of us as a family if I hadn't had the training and been given the valuable knowledge to perceive what was happening in our lives during that period of time. I'm in awe of the invisible energies that impact our daily lives and grateful to have been connected to the ancient observations of authentic Flying Stars Feng Shui!

What a trip down memory lane the last month has afforded me. A deeper appreciation for the path in life we can be placed on, and a sense of gratitude for all of life's experiences. Some of those dark clouds do contain the fears we are inclined to hide. Once out in the light they can be seen for what they are and then summarily banished, sorted through and rationalised.

Here's to more silver linings and sunshine days full of bright relief for everyone :)

Blessings for the new year and keep and eye out for the new Annual Influences Guide 2015 available on January 15th 2015.
