A Mountain of Protection

The way this house is situated, nestled in the mountain, with clear visibility all around, and facing a body of water, is a prime example of good Feng Shui placement. The mountains particularly are the key factor in this setting. They are behind the house, serving as a fortress against unwanted visitors or unsavory weather conditions. giving the residents a sense of security. In the past, when we lived closer to the land and from the land directly, securing property took on a different meaning than it does today, but our human psychology has remained. The mountain represents safety of a most primal kind, and because it is of nature and the earth, it resonates with a most basic need to be sheltered.

The water in front of the house is equally auspicious. Water represents money in Feng Shui, and can be a very tricky element if not managed properly. But in this case, what looks like a small pond, is well positioned. From what the picture is showing, the size of this body of water is proportionate to the size of the house. There may be a tributary to the right of the frame, in which case the water takes on another factor. To have water near one's home represents good money chi. Important footnote regarding water that is still: it must be kept clean at all times. -S.C.-

My Mission

I believe there exists a direct connection between how we live and our personal relationship to the planet. What we do to our immediate environment, how we choose to live, what kinds of things we value and gain support from, all speak to our place in the world. My mission is to awaken people to the significance of our role in creating a better world. Everything we do or think or feel is reflected back to us. Feng Shui is simply a way of doing which is designed for positive results; it infuses cheerful and uplifting Chi into our homes and work places. What we gain in fulfillment and nurturance from our Feng Shui choices reverberates beyond our four walls - a symbiosis is established and harmony is restored.

The Why and What of Blue Moon Feng Shui

This blog is a place where I want to educate and inform readers about Feng Shui. I will write about the subject and use examples for what I think is useful and important. I began this blog on February 18, 2013, and I am adding content as I go along. I hope you find Feng Shui to be fun and bring renewal into your lives. Perhaps over time some things might repeat themselves, but that is okay because the image or photo that I draw from will be unique. one from the other.

Please understand that the explanations offered here are not a substitute for an on-sight Feng Shui consultation. These are guidelines that give the reader a sense of how we might look at something from a Feng Shui perspective. An actual consultation takes into account a great many details that can only be determined by being in the physical space.

A very important aspect of analyzing a home or office is determining the quality of Chi, or energy, that permeates any given area. This is done because the consultant knows what to look for, and understands how different aspects are affecting the greater whole. The furniture and objects, the architecture and the floorplan, in a room or a lot or a house, affect the greater whole. As a creative Intuitive, I work largely with my intutition to assess where the strengths and weaknesses are placed and why they are there. I am guided by sources of Light, whose benevolent presence works through me.

Feng Shui is a healing tool, it is a modality of diagnosing the pathology of an environment and works towards remedying any imbalances in the Chi of the space. Feng Shui works because it incorporates the individual into the assessment of the energy - you are where you live and work. Our environments reflect back to us ourselves - it is a continual exchange of live-force energy that must be replenished. Not unlike our physical energy, our homes and work spaces are living, breathing expressions of the macrocosm. When you take care of your environments, the exchange of energy becomes heightened and you are better able to express yourself. You begin to embody your authenticity and therefore move through your life in a more relaxed manner. Feng Shui sets out to put more of you in your life, and support your path for your highest fulfillment.
