Remember what I’m always saying, what’s closest to you in your environment impacts your life the most. Well, on that note, what is closest to your food is affecting it a lot as well. The state of your kitchen is the state of your health – and especially the state of your liver. And the liver is the main detoxifying organs in the body! So do your liver and your health a favor and clean that kitchen! Think about it. The food you eat which turns into your body is stored, cleaned and cooked in the kitchen. It is the …Read More

Feng Shui Your Personal Health Inventory

By Karen

Since many seem to take personal inventories this time of year, why not get specific and take a personal HEALTH inventory and work it the feng shui way. If you have any condition that seems to be inherited through your genes, review the Family Gua (half way back on the left based on where you enter a home or room) of each room in the house. This is the wood element/green color gua so see if it has at least one of these items dominating the space. If it does not appear to be inherited, then concentrate on the Center …Read More

COLORADO FIRES – Tragedy or Triumph?

By Karen

Since I was just in Colorado, and there are fires going on there, I thought I’d talk a bit about that. The fires that raged through Colorado certainly give those who live here an up close and personal look at the interplay of the five elements and how quickly things change when one element dominates at a particular moment in time. For those of you who have read my book or know a bit about feng shui, there are several “cycles of elements.” In the creative cycle, wood “fuels” the fire (Page 36, 37) and fire creates earth. The trees …Read More

My job as a feng shui consultant is to notice environmental patterns and arrangements that work against a person’s health and well-being, and suggest ways to mitigate or better them. And, being in thousands of homes over the years, I have become quite good at it. For example, I’ve noticed that kids who get bullied often have a window at the head of their bed, and people with shoulder trouble have sharp metal (like weapons) near their bed. Recently, another new connection seems to be happening, and I wanted to see if I could see if there are other people …Read More

With all the tornadoes flying around this past week, I thought I’d give those badly affected a little checklist to consider if they have to rebuild. In order to be brief, I’m going to assume you know a bit about the feng shui that I practice or have read my book. I would highly recommend, if you have the resources, to hire a feng shui consultant (hopefully one that is very comfortable with the design process like an architect, landscape architect or interior designer) to help you navigate the rebuilding process with the best feng shui outcome. But if that …Read More

Were Cabbage, Exercise and Visualizations her Trick to Beating Cancer?

My friend stayed with me this weekend because she was in town for her yearly scans. She has been cancer free for a couple of decades now, and with the over-the-top stress in her life, you’d be scratching your head to figure out how. She had metastisized melanoma – in all lymph nodes, etc. but surprisingly, it was not a death sentence. Her oncologist has been dragging her charts around the earth for years trying to see if anyone can connect the dots as to why she not only survived, but consistently thrives in spite of such a diagnosis. (I’ll …Read More

#1 I have to tell you a happy story that involves feng shui. My brother has been laid off for just a few weeks shy of 2 years and had only 3 more checks coming from unemployment. He told me about an interview he had with Antonelli College in downtown Cincy for an IT administrator job. They interviewed him 3 times and said they wanted to hire him as long as he passed a background check. However, about 20 years ago he had legal problems in Texas that has been keeping him from being hired at other companies, so he …Read More

On average, one third of your life is spent in your bedroom. I think it is practically impossible to “waste money” on creating the perfect bedroom as it is your most impacting room of your house! Here are my tips for bedrooms if your love life seems stale or is non-existent, or your health could use some improvement, or you are looking for a new or different outlook on life: #1 Remove anything that does not support love/passion and health/rest. If your bedroom looks more like an office or multi-purpose room, your environment is working against you. If you want …Read More

With the 10-year anniversary of 9-11 here, let’s talk about keeping fear and other lower energies away. These lower emotions cause nothing but stress – which leads to disease…and who wants that? Since I have decided my life path was to create a better world (one house at a time!) I thought it would be a good idea to address the best possibilities for creating a great world in these “at war” and fearful times. It is no surprise that my advice is to try to create the best vibrational field as possible in your mind, body, and your home. …Read More
