By IFSG Blog Team, on November 17th, 2011% Encouraging chi to enter the romance trigram of your home is a good first step toward attracting romance in your life. But what if you’re looking for something more? If you want to increase the passion in your current romance, or find a new, passionate romance, consider activating positive chi using the fire element. The Color Red in Feng Shui Red, as we know, is the color of love. Chinese wedding gowns are red, not white, since this color is also said to bring good fortune. Red is also associated with the fire element. Consider adding red objects to your romance trigram or your fame & recognition trigram (the very back center of a home, apartment or room), since this trigram is associated with the element of fire. You can also use an object that is symbolic of fire — something that gives you the sense of warmth of passion — or actual fire in the form of candles. A pair of red candles placed in your romance corner can really set your love life on fire! Too Much of a Good Thing Be careful of incorporating too much red in your home, especially . . . → Read More: How the Feng Shui Fire Element can add Passion to your Romance
By IFSG Blog Team, on June 24th, 2011% How can a house be too big? We have oodles of things that need a home, a desire for space so we can move about without tripping over one another, and perhaps a feeling of pride in owning a big home.
A house is too big when the ratio of people and animals to the square footage of the house falls out of balance. What that ratio is can be felt by being in a home that is too big, and it will have some degree of variation in accord with ones personality. However, it is safe to say that a home which houses a couple and a dog, for example, and exceeds 3,000 square feet is touching the edge of a person-space imbalance.
The imbalance is energetic: a house is inanimate, or in human terms dead. The furniture, clothing, artwork, carpet, and mechanical systems of a house are also inanimate. We are animate, or alive, and equally important, we are social animals.
When we are in a setting in which there are more dead things than live things, as in the too big house, we lose energy to the house. When we are in a setting in which there . . . → Read More: The Too Big House
By IFSG Blog Team, on March 29th, 2011% In Feng Shui, we use many systems, and a primary one is the Bagua. This is a set of 8 Trigrams, and the central symbol of the Tai Chi, or Yin and Yang. In some forms, we lay this 9 square grid over a home or building, to evaluate the place, and define where to enhance certain aspects of life, or business. This month, we are discussing one of these Guas, or symbols. This is the Trigram Zhen. Loosely translated into the term Thunder, this has several other meanings, including ‘The Penetrating.’ Made of 1 unbroken Yang line, and 2 broken Yin lines, this Trigram shows a solid surface, where the penetrating lightning reaches down through the clouds. This Trigram has many attributes in Feng Shui. This is a partial list: Name: Thunder Direction: East Time: Early Morning Season: Spring Element: Wood Polarity: Yang Family Member: Eldest Son Number: 3 Organs: Liver Emotion: Anger Colors: Green, Gold, and Purple We associate this symbol with the eldest son, so it is about the perpetuation of the family. In Chinese tradition, the eldest son was to carry on the family name, inherit the home, lands and businesses of . . . → Read More: Zhen – The Gua of Health and Family
By IFSG Blog Team, on March 16th, 2011% The Happy Family area is about people in your life that feel like family as well as your biological family. Standing in the middle front of your home it is located on the left in the middle between Self Cultivation and Knowledge and the Prosperity corner. The element is wood and the color is green. This area represents safety and security in life, a strong foundation. This is an area that can hold the energetic intention to forgive and be at peace with family and friends. Family energy and agreements can be some of the most difficult to navigates. When we incarnate we choose our parents and the family we are born into for our soul’s evolution. We pick the place where we can learn the most to fulfill our soul’s purpose. Sometimes we have wonderful families and sometimes we don’t. The Happy Family area is where we can make an energetic intention to bless, forgive and release past family energy so that we can be empowered. When we forgive someone we do it for ourselves, for our freedom and happiness it has nothing to do with the other person. It is also a prosperity area for day . . . → Read More: Easy Feng Shui – Relationship Areas – Happy Family Area
By IFSG Blog Team, on February 21st, 2011% Feng Shui, meaning “Wind & Water,” is the ancient system of environmental placement. Practiced for more than 3000 years in China, the Western World is now embracing it as a way to create balance and harmony in our homes, offices, and in our lives. Feng Shui can be a powerful tool to help us manifest what we want in all different areas of our lives, including intimate relationships.
In Feng Shui, a nine-box grid called the BaGua is used to map out areas of the home that correspond to specific areas of life. In Black Sect Feng Shui, the Love & Marriage area is in the far-right hand corner of your home based on the front door. In Compass Feng Shui, the Love & Marriage area is located in the Southwest part of your home. Both systems are effective in activating energy and anchoring intention around partnership.
Enhancements for the Love & Marriage Area · Pictures, paintings, collages, photos and figures of a significant other, or someone who looks like the one you wish to attract · Pairs of things such as lovers, doves, dolphins, hearts – all symbols of love, or symbols that meaningfully exemplify the relationship you desire . . . → Read More: Feng Shui Tips for Manifesting and Enhancing a Love Relationship

In Feng Shui, Relationships, Love & Marriage is located in the back right 1/3 corner of your home (or Compass Direction: SW) where you can enhance loving relationships. Receptivity, the quality associated with this gua, is important in communication with one another for a loving relationship. Unconditional love, support, flexibility, adaptability, and devotion are other qualities associated with this area. The element is Earth, and the Earth energy in this gua is that of Mother Earth, having the qualities of receptivity and nurturing. The pink color associated with this gua also brings in the Fire element, adding warmth and passion to a relationship or help to start one.

By IFSG Blog Team, on January 7th, 2011% The front left area of the bagua is referred to by several different names. I call it Self-knowledge and Introspection. Others use a variety of terms; knowledge, spirituality, contemplation, and self-cultivation are the most common.
These terms are not actually very far apart. This area is about knowing oneself, requiring some introspection and/or contemplation. Self-cultivation also requires knowing and developing oneself. The idea is to focus on the self in a meaningful way to evolve and grow.
In order to fully appreciate and understand this bagua section, it is important to also look at the Relationship area, diagonally opposite Self-knowledge and Introspection . Self-knowledge puts the emphasis on the self and Relationship puts the emphasis on connecting/relating to another.
First, it requires that a person have a clear sense of self before entering a relationship. Otherwise, the person becomes lost and is defined by the other person or the relationship itself, and is no longer an authentic individual. If two people have a healthy relationship, that relationship will, in turn, support individual growth. And the positive cycle continues…
Secondly, balance relates to time. Does a busy schedule allow for individual time? If every free moment is spent in relationship . . . → Read More: Self-Knowledge & Introspection Area of the Bagua
