Joy-filled Holiday Greetings! Winter is the season of stillness. The I Ching, which Feng Shui is partially based on, advises us that this is a time to turn inward. And, I know that for many of you, the truth is that this is a time of high activity. However, as we move toward the Winter Solstice, […]
The Center of Your Home
Late Fall Greetings Everyone! The Center of your home relates physically to your heart and other internal organs. It’s also the area Feng Shui experts go to when there are undiagnosed physical conditions. Since it’s the Earth element, it’s also associated with weight gain and health issues related to sugar metabolism. Another important characteristic of […]
Feng Shui, Health, & The Five Elements
Fall Greeting Everyone! Autumn is related to the Metal element. Like metal, it can have a cutting energy, similar to the wind stripping leaves off of the trees. Want to know more about Metal? I’ll be expanding on all of the Five Elements on my Facebook page (Suzanne Metzger – Feng Shui Consultant) this month […]
Feng Shui, Clutter & Your Brain
Feng Shui, Clutter & Your Brain Most of us have some clutter. It usually isn’t a problem unless it’s longstanding OR you have no idea where to start the clearing process. Did you know that whenever you reach a stalemate in any area of life, your brain automatically shifts its control from the rational area […]
Feng Shui & the Attached Garage
Hi Everyone, Earth is the main element this month. Especially since this is a time of great transition on our planet, it’s important to ground yourself and maintain any practices that enhance your personal stability. Since I was running late in getting this month’s newsletter out, I dug into my archives and found inspiration from […]
Feng Shui for Tiny Homes & Downsizing
In the past I’ve written articles on Feng Shui for dorm rooms, but recently I’ve known several grownups who have either been forced to live in a tiny space or done so by choice. Some folks have chosen the relatively free life of RVing or living on a boat. Two families I know have lost […]
Feng Shui & A Healthy Brain-Do Something New! & Start with the Feng Shui of Your Home
As many of you know, I’ve have had an interest in neuroscience for quiet some time and taught Brain Gym® (among other things) for several years before moving to Colorado Springs 19 years ago. Current research on the brain got me to thinking about how we can apply this information to Feng Shui. One thing […]
Feng Shui, Wealth, & Your Power to Create
The Wealth area is intimately connected to springtime. I wasn’t planning to write about Wealth this month, but I had an auspicious event happen on my own front porch. (The front door and porch is related to opportunity.) A sweet little bird chose to build her nest in the wreath I have hanging next to […]
Feng Shui, Romance & the Heart Chakra
Spring Greetings! The Wood Element is dominant from the Spring Equinox in March to the Summer Solstice in June. Among other things, it is symbolized by trees awakening from their quiet Winter slumber and, at least here in Colorado Springs, buds are starting to appear. In my own yard, a colorful display of crocus and […]
The Career Area & It’s Affect on Health
Greetings Everyone! This month I’m writing about the Career area of the Bagua and its affect on health. (Many of the same health remedies, mentioned below, can also be used for issues around your actual career and related activities–such as volunteering and hobbies.) The Career area represents the beginning of our individual path through life […]
