Feng
Shui & Your Pet’s Health (Part Three)
Holiday
Greetings!
Do you wonder about
time, about where has this year gone, or even where today went?
Feng Shui looks at time through the areas of Career, the Center, and Fame.
The Center of your home is especially important because it represents
the present. And, NOW is the only time that really exists. Think
about it. The past is gone and when the future appears, it will be NOW.
By taking care of the Center of your home—which is represented by the yin/yang symbol, an image of perfect balance--you are also taking care of your own personal center.
Whenever there is a depleting element in the Center, it’s especially important to keep the energy in balance there. (A bathroom in the Center is an example of a depleting element.)
The Center is also the major health area of your home. Its energy radiates out to the rest of your space. Even if you make other corrections for health problems, make sure that the Center is in balance.
This is as important for your pet’s well-being as it is for your own. As you will recall from the October and November newsletter articles--Feng Shui & Your Pet’s Health (Part One) and Feng Shui for Fido & Fifi--there are many similarities between our health problems and those of our pets.
If you missed the previous articles and wish to read them, go to the archives.
Feng
Shui & Your Pet’s Health (Part Three)
The last two newsletters focused on our personal animal friends. However,
a few weeks ago, there was a terrible oil spill in the
San Francisco area damaging birds and wildlife. This reminded me of the
global applications of Feng Shui which affect the cities and countries
of the world. Usually you can’t directly alter the basic layout
of your town or country, but you can begin to create positive changes
by working on your own space.
If you happen to be involved in the San Francisco or a similar cleanup effort, or you’re involved in any type of animal rescue, you can influence the outcome by working on the Children’s area of your own home and workspace.
Place healthy and positive pictures or representations of the birds or animals that you are working with here. Make sure that that area in your own home is clean and clutter-free.
You can also place affirmative statements for perfect healing (or placement if you have a foster pet) in your Knowledge area.
Now
back to the main subject, which is our personal pets:
• If your pet happens to be a bit on the chubby side,
pay attention to the Relationship area and the Center.
The rule here is lean and clean. In other words, remove all that excess
stuff.
• Genetic disorders found in certain breeds can often be aided by an adjustment to Family in addition to areas related to the problem. An example is, if your dog is predisposed to hip problems, you may also want to enhance the Wealth area.
• An animal with a history of seizures may benefit from an adjustment to the Helpful People area and the Center.
Next month I’ll complete this series and discuss other problems related to our animal friends, including what to do when a pet dies.
May both you & your pets have a healthy & happy holiday season!
