I have yet to use an LED light source, whether it’s a bulb, a nightlight or the screen on a computer or phone, that has made me feel comfortable. There’s both a harshness to the light and a felt sense that I’m not getting something I need.
A Family Home History Seen Thru the Lens of Compass School Feng Shui
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
The feng shui of a home has a big influence on our children. Although the emphasis in a child’s life is different than that of an adult, children benefit from all the same principles that help to create health and harmony for adults.
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.
This is not about what we usually think of as sacred sites or power places, those singular spots on the planet where pyramids, You-Are-here-300x199pilgrimage routes and healing waters are found. This is an invitation to look at “sacred” from a very different angle of vision: the sacred life of every person, every day and in every place, thru the reflective lens of feng shui.
Mirrors can be wonderful, adding light, charm, movement, interest and dimension to any space. They are ideal for some areas in homes, such as living rooms, bathrooms, hallways and dining areas.

“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.
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.
This technique, testing for the spin of the spaces where we live and work, is one of the most valuable pieces of information I have come across in all the years I’ve been practicing feng shui.
“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.
On a beautiful day in December of 1996, I was walking across a parking lot in Kailua-Kona on the big island of Hawaii, and out of the blue I had a realization that stopped me in my tracks, and changed the course of my work.
