Feng Shui Makeover of a Psychotherapy Office
   

The wall full of pictures is unsettling. The smallest picture/diploma is trying to hold up a stack of larger pictures. The three other pictures have mismatched sizes and frames.

   This area was redone by placing an inviting couch and pillows and a blanket against the wall, and creating a balanced look with two pictures of equal size and frames. Now the unique clock is the focal point. Clocks are an important feature in psychotherapy offices.  
     

Desk area before.

The desk area has been upgraded by choosing a larger, professional desk, and leather chair, instead of a “child’s” desk. Vertical blinds give the feeling of “jail bars” and cut up the view. Opening the blinds and adding rounded accessories such as the lamp and side table, make this a much more “healing environment”. The wind chimes and plants circulate chi energy.

  
   

Living Room Enhancements
   

This client wants to focus on getting into a healthy romantic relationship. Her house is very small, which presented a challenge. She only had one place to sit, a love seat that was full of pillows, i.e., no more room for anyone else.

   The homeowner put her loveseat on an angle, brought in another chair, and a small oval shaped glass coffee table. Now she can invite someone over, and the coffee table helps facilitate the flow of the new conversation area.  

Using the Concepts of Form and Function



There are two clocks on the same wall, showing two different times. The grandfather clock doesn’t work and is emitting large, prominent, “broken energy”. The grandfather clock is not performing its’ function and must be fixed or removed, or else the occupants will be “stuck in the past”, in some manner.
 

 

  

The homeowner has dramatically altered the feel of this small area by making it much more modern, functional, and inviting. The warm, new wall color and wood floors help tremendously.

 

Moving into a New House is an Excellent Time for a Feng Shui Consultation
   

The wall during unpacking.

   During this consultation, we chose the placement of artwork and furniture from all of the homeowner’s possessions, without spending any money.  

Here is an example of the Powerful Use of Mirrors
   

Getting unpacked.

   Hanging the large mirror above the desk provides a very expansive feeling to the person sitting here by reflecting the nature through the back window.
 

Mirrors in the Dining Room
   

We were able to find a chest and a mirror in other parts of the house to set up a side board area to compliment this dining table.

   Hanging a mirror in the dining room can increase your health, and subsequently your wealth, because it magnifies the abundance of good food. Be sure to hang the mirror high enough so that noone sees themselves eating, as this is unpleasant.  

The Guest Bedroom
This small, narrow basement guest bedroom presented several Feng Shui challenges. Because of the size of the room, and the location of doors and closets, the only place to put a queen size bed was against a low window with an unattractive metal, corrugated window well. People sleeping next to a low window like this will not feel safe because of the potential for break-ins.
   

We had to provide a headboard for protection and a visual screen for the window well. Using a colorful bench that the homeowner had, and rich looking pillows, and a comforter, we created a cushioned, protected “nest” for their guests. Adding beauty with colors and fabrics is a feng shui cure for negative energy in a room.


Enhancing Specific Areas of the Bagua Map
   

The Fame and Achievement area is energized with an award and framed newspaper articles about the business.

  The Ancestor’s area is enhanced with an inherited picture of an eagle that hung in the owner’s father’s office. It gives him inspiration and encouragement in his business.
 

   

The fireplace is in the Wealth corner of this home.

   The owner added positive chi to the wealth area by building this mantel, and adding beauty and size to the fireplace.
 
In this house, the rough hewn, dark stained beams were heavy and oppressive dividers of this room. Because the beams are low, (8 foot ceilings), the residents are affected by their presence. The feng shui cure, to cover the beams with much lighter, smooth finished wood, makes the beams “lift” up and they now are a beautiful feature of the room. Crown molding was added to further tie the beams into the décor of the room, and match the existing woodwork. This makes the room feel cohesive instead of “chopped up”.
This homeowner enhanced her yard and garden using Feng Shui principles to place the fountain, grapevines and vegetables, and the sandy seating area. She now calls this her "Serenity Garden".
 
The peaceful feeling of this bedroom is created by the use of round shapes and furniture that is correctly sized and balanced for the room. The deep red color, and the matching nightstands and lamps contribute to the couple's positive experience in this room. 

 
Here is a creative example of how a homeowner hung a mirror over her stove in order to see people entering the kitchen while her back is to the entrance. This allows her to feel more comfortable while cooking. The style and size of the mirror fit in the kitchen perfectly, illustrating the concept of "personalizing your cures".
