Every individual and culture is deeply influenced by the structures they inhabit to live and work in. A history of the world which tracks the effects of indigenous
architecture design – from the individual dwelling to community and nation planning – and all these influences over time would describe most of the scope of human experiences
Selling a house and moving involves many dimensions that are both financial and personal. It makes sense to consider several different points of view to create and apply a strategy for a successful sale. Realtors, property stagers and various assessors generally cover the basics of a building sale effectively, and yet there are often homes that sit on the market for some time. Feng Shui includes a broad spectrum of tools that have been used successfully to sell many properties.
In the world of interior design there are so many concepts and trends, it’s all too easy to get lost in someone else’s idea of the best way to create an interior. How does one choose what will create a home that really feels like home?
entrance (noun):
An opening, such as a door, passage, or gate, that allows access to a place.
an act or instance of going or coming in
the coming of an actor or performer onto a stage
the right, means, or opportunity to enter somewhere or be a member of an institution, society, or other body
“De-clutter, expand, de-clutter, expand, de-clutter, expand …”, these were the words used by a friend in a conversation we had a few days ago about how we move forward authentically in our lives. The “de-clutter, expand” notion captured my attention because it describes so much of the cycles in life, and a lot of what really defines the experience of living from one phase to the next.
Coherence sounds like something rather dry and academic, but what it means is an underlying unifying whole. We see it everywhere in the natural world – it’s responsible for the seasons, the beauty of the rose and regularity of the ocean tides.
Throughout our day from when our feet first touch the floor in the morning, until we climb into bed at night, we move from one place to another along various well-worn pathways throughout our homes and where we work. The degree of ease of moving from Point A to Point B adds to physical and also psychological ease of getting where we want to go to.
The more I learn about environments and the myriad influences that converge on any given place in the world, the more complex I can see it is. On the other hand, truth is simple, and there are two main principles which help one progressively improve the feng shui in any property:
At the beginning of a feng shui assessment, or an annual update, I like to ask people, “What do you want? What do you want feng shui to support for you?”
What I’ve observed after working with many different homes is that the feeling of what is placed at the center, or how the center area is treated, sends out a ripple effect to the rest of the entire home.
Clutter-clearing and organizing are a big part of feng shui, no doubt about it. There are all sorts of practical systems out there to help with getting and staying organized, and they do work if they’re a good fit for the organizing style you have inherently.
“Imagery”, in a feng shui context, usually means paintings, photos, all we visually see. In reality, sensory input from any of our senses – sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste, plus kinesthetic awareness of how we move through space – produces an “image” in the brain.
The practice of Feng Shui includes many different techniques and types of information. Compass School feng shui assessments, which I have provided for 18 years now, require study and experience, as do several other aspects of understand what affects a property.
A while back a friend sent me a card with a drawing on the front of it of a woman dressed in a business suit addressing several other business people gathered round a meeting table, her pointer aimed emphatically at a downward spiking graph behind her.

When my older son was five years old he shared a bedroom with his younger brother who was three. Between them they reigned over a small bedroom kingdom of many toys and books acquired from doting relatives.
Balance is a state of centered equilibrium. When we are in balance we can respond creatively and appropriately to every facet of our lives – relationships, work, physical health, creative expression and spiritual focus.
