By IFSG Blog Team, on April 30th, 2012% Human beings are always seeking an ideal environment, and the ideal landscaping is different from one culture to another. But the essence is the same: everyone looks for balance, for the sensation of peace and happiness, for the feeling of no worries…
The first men and women had an incredible empiric instinct and naturally discovered how to survive, and how to deal with the nature surrounding them.
And we inherited their knowledge about the importance of the sun, the moon, the stars, the four seasons, the climate, the light, the shadow, the best time to plant and to harvest plants and herbs, the power of the water, the rain and the rivers, the wind, and the animals. They taught us how to survive, and we discovered in our own ways how to make a living with those natural wonders.
Depending on the pattern of the landscaping we see, we may feel better, vitalized and energetic, or we can feel down, stressed, emotionally and physically disturbed. So, certain spaces and places can either nourish our health, or can slowly degrade our sense of well-being.

By IFSG Blog Team, on March 8th, 2012% When one door physically collides with another at any point of its swing, the condition is called clashing doors. Among other things, doors correspond to voices – specifically the voices of adult residents. Therefore, clashing doors can induce conflicts and arguments between members of the household. This principle applies to any pair of doors in the home, whether inside, outside, closet, or otherwise. For example, if the master bedroom door swings open and hits a closet door in the bedroom, the energy of these doors striking each other can create marital discord and confusion between the partners. Similar situations can ensue in any other area of the home.

By IFSG Blog Team, on January 12th, 2012% 6 Heaven Year 4 February 2012-3 February 2013 The 6 Heaven Year usually brings clarity and completion for the party. The hidden element of the year is that of Metal. In the I Ching the Heaven trigram can represent authority or the father. Another take is that it is the harvest since the north-west is the autumn and brings with it the reaping of what has been sewn. In some ways it can be the end of an era. 1940 in Europe, 1949 in China, 1967 and the summer of love are just a few examples. (See below to determine your I Ching Star.)
