Upgrade Your Vacation With Feng Shui

Posted on by

“Surely of all the wonders of the world, the horizon is the greatest.”
– Freya Stark

Is an irresistible vista calling your name? We humans have a keen curiosity for distant horizons that only mobility can satisfy. If travel is on your current agenda for business or pleasure, romance or spiritual awakening upgrade your vacation with “Think Outside the Travel Channel” Feng Shui essentials. This collection of insights will help you experience your vacation in an entire new spirit. Learn how to play with the energetic field in far away places. Discover you can smooth out a difficult situation. Develop quick tools that help you enjoy the unfamiliar. Open your heart to the profound appreciation of foreign places (at home or abroad) and find yourself abundant with opportunities to form meaningful encounters.

Set Your Intention Imagine this experience to be all it can be. 27 days before your departure meditate daily. Visualize the feelings the vacation generates – the joy, the excitement and the flow. Visualize the places you listed on your itinerary. Hold that vibration for fifteen minutes. Your subconscious will take care of the details.

Make A Favorable Start Date selection is part of Feng Shui astrology. Choosing an auspicious date is a proper part of vacation planning. When your vacation incorporates Feng Shui principles, it has a higher degree of travel success. Helpful People show up easily to aid your journey and help you find your way when you are lost. Consult a Chinese calendar or email me (bette@shenmenfengshuic.com) for general auspicious dates. I will be happy to go over this with you for red envelopes (generally nine).

Travel With The Buddha One of my favorites. Purchase a small Buddha statue, one inch is good or it can be larger or smaller. Place it in a container that holds heat such as an incense holder or a cauldron. Place this in a private area like the top of your bedroom bureau for nine days. Each day offer incense, visualize this is your “Traveling Buddha” and it will protect you when you travel and bring good luck. Let the incense burn down and allow the ashes to fall onto the Buddha. On the tenth day take out the Buddha, do not brush off the incense and carry with you. See you are protected wherever you vacation to.

Start On The Right Foot The Red Carpet ceremony is performed when departing from your home for an business appointment, wedding or trip. Create auspicious opportunities and safety by placing a six-foot red cloth over the threshold of your front door. As you step down onto the carpet (cloth) with your left foot, visualize your trip is accident free and negative energy is cleansed. Make eight steps and end with the ninth step, your left foot, stepping of the the carpet. Fold and take with you. Do not go back into the house.

Boost Your Immune System Jet lag and time change can leave you overwhelmed quickly. Color influences how you feel. Make sure you feel good. Pack a scarf or ensemble that has the five elements-black, green, red, yellow and white or the rainbow colors. When you notice an overall weariness change to this. Visualize you are receiving vitality, radiance and balance from the color combinations and they are infusing your endocrine system with vital Ch’i.

Remove Stale Energy It might old, it could be negative. Don’t take chances with who or what resided in your room even if it is five star Hilton or private B&B. If you forgot to carry orange spray or a mister made with citrus essential oils, you can also use the peels of an orange to clear stale or negative energy. Cut nine circles, rubbed them in your hands then place them under your pillow for a great night’s sleep.

Use Insight Over Anger The biggest influence maintaining an upbeat attitude and the good luck coming. If you are prone to tension and you speak before you think, step back and “Swallow Your Saliva”, nine times. First create the saliva with the tip of your tongue on the upper palate of your mouth by moving your tongue back and forth 27 times. Then swish the saliva around your gums and teeth. While doing this think whether what you have to say will cause harm. Swallow then speak. It connects all the meridians in the body. Not only will this create positive relations but strengthen your organs, in particular your stomach and spleen. Setting intention is the motivating factor to maintaining a great vacation experience. You will see heart-felt results.

Bring Home Only Good Memories and Mementos Think about what you want to gain from this experience and what you want to remember in the days ahead. Purchasing hand crafted items that depict a country, an artisan, and an experience create good karma. You are supporting the local economy and the creativity of the local craftspeople. Choose something you absolutely adore and will use.

Keepsakes are an ever-present reminder of your most fondest moments and they can also be used to reinforce the Feng Shui in your home. Here are a few suggestions. To enhance the power of Heaven and the continuous support of Helpful People gua purchase a relic or statue. If you want to amplify your wealth, shop for a gilded mirror to draw in resources or a gold container that will hold intentions and symbols of money in your Wealth corner. If you want to create good luck in your budding romance. Purchase your Chinese Zodiac animal and your partner’s too. Purchase a three dimensional animal made of jade, boxwood or bone for your Partnership gua. If you are not living together purchase two of each, one set for your home and one for theirs. Display together in your Partnership gua of the bedroom. 

Relax. Be Safe. Enjoy.

“It is your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.”
– Tony Robbins

Strong willed and confident, the Tiger isn’t one to stop and smell the roses, quite the opposite, energetic and determined, they are skilled in persistence that helps them stand out as leaders. A frank personality and willing to speak their truth, they gain others’ trust readily, both personally and in the public arena. 

The Year of the Fire Rooster provides fertile ground for Tiger to expand their career territory. With the blessing of many stars luck will unfold and be smooth. There will be joyous celebrations in the household. However Tiger needs to be aware of one unlucky star that may take them into the court room with lawsuits and legal entanglements. Best to start the year right with an abundance of good deeds to offset any unpropitious energy the zodiac may cast.

Every year at the Chinese Lunar New Year, the Tiger leaps with one powerful bound onto the Zodiac horizon. Tiger can offer its determination and indomitable strength to help you persevere as you find your momentum. But if you can’t find your traction, call on this big cat’s super power of persistence to see you through a project, devise an agenda, develop a strategy or devote passion to your dream. You cannot miss when you have a tiger in your tank.

The sky is vast with an abundance of stars to help you navigate the many possibilities available, find out what the galaxy has in store for you in this month of the Tiger. Rat: building your merits will pay off in good results. Considering performing a good deed a day. Do not be a guarantor nor walk alone at night. Be industrious and you can build a promising career and future. Ox: your fortune is highlighted and you will have strong wealth luck. Fame and profit will be on the forefront. You may feel anxious but take a calm attitude. Tackle your problems only as they arrive. Tiger: there is ease with your career with many favorable opportunities coming your way. Be cautious of accidents. If you travel aboard, perform “Walking On The Red Carpet” cure before as you leave your home. Rabbit: Chinese Lunar New Year is in the same month so participate in all the festivities. Seize the opportunity to host a big celebration in your home. If you travel, search for favorable opportunities. Dragon: seize good career opportunities. Travel with family (like a trip to Mexico) and relax. Don’t quibble. There is a saying, “Prosperity derives from harmonious families.” Snake: luck of the month is Mutually Offensive. Be cautious and be patient. You might suffer minor financial loss so pay close attention to expenditures. Beware of robbery. When having health issues do not hesitate to seek medical advice. Horse: the start of the year all things are refreshed. Earnestly plan for your career and life matters. Limit your social activities and beware of your health. Turn your attention to creating happiness and harmony within your home. Spend more time communicating with your niece. Ram: as the new year begins, write out your annual plan and execute it by adhering to well a established agenda. Look at what is realistic and idealistic and choose the former. In the area of romance take it slow to keep the good connection flowing. Monkey: the luck of the month is not smooth but you can turn this around by performing the BTB Feng Shui  “The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell” secret cure on Chinese New Year’s eve. Exercise caution in everything you do and think thrice (“Swallow Your Saliva” nine times) before you take action. Rooster: this month do not venture into affairs. Maintain the status quo. Cut back on traveling and social activities. Exercise what is good for your physical and mental well-being. Focus on relaxation to eliminate worries. Do not brood over what you have no control of. Dog: everything is new and fresh. Keep the home fires and social interpersonal relationships on a even keel by performing the BTB Chinese New Year ceremonies, “The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell”; “Welcoming The Wealth God” and ”Changing The Ch’i Of The House…” to insure good luck for the year. Pig: your luck is favorable but your ideas may run out of steam towards the end of the lunar month. “Clearly understand your limitations and do what you can.” Do not run your energy down with doing too much which brings on anxiety and stress.

If you request a cure from this forecast, I will ask you to honor the red envelope tradition. Have a great month, Zodiac friends!
