Q: I’m new at Feng Shui, and don’t know what to do about my bedroom. The mirror is on my dresser, facing the foot of my bed. There’s really no other way to arrange the furniture in this space, so what kind of cure can I do to make this a better Feng Shui bedroom?

A: If you are concerned about the mirror, all you have to do is drape a pretty shawl or scarf over it at night, so the mirror is covered while you are sleeping. That will solve the problem.

Q: My friend moved out of her house after breaking up with her boyfriend. She is a real estate agent and business has been very slow. She has a part time job for money for food, car payment and cell phone, but she really needs some real estate to take off to be able to build up enough cash to get into an apartment. She has been staying with different friends because she has no place of her own. How can she chi up her career sector?

A: I’m sorry to hear your friend is dealing with challenging circumstances. How fortunate that she has some income and friends who are sheltering her. The bottom line, though, is that if she is moving around among a series of temporary borrowed lodgings, then she does not have a career sector to “chi up.” I recommend she focus on shifting her own energy, rather than the energy of her borrowed space. Start here.

Wishing you both great future success,
Stephanie R.

Q: I will be getting new gutters in the next few months and I am very attracted to one that is pre-painted an olive green color. The current gutters are white, but for some reason that seems dull and does not appeal to me. Also they show dirt and mold a lot. However, with the productive cycle, the yellow house, white gutters, gray roof seems to correspond. Do you think the green gutters are an okay choice, or should I stick with white?

A: It’s really not necessary to coordinate every feature of your home with the element cycles. The productive cycle is not so much a goal in itself as it is a tool for making adjustments to a situation where imbalance in the elements is causing a problem. Sure, it’s nice if the colors of your home are in harmonious relationship, but that does not make the productive cycle the overriding factor in your choices.

Far more important is that your gutters be in good condition (which they will be when you install the new ones), and that what you see when you look at your home makes you happy. So if you are very attracted to the olive green ones, then go with those. Why compromise with another color you won’t like as much? Each time you notice the gutters you’ll wish you’d gone with the green ones, and that’s not good feng shui at all.

If you feel there is a significant imbalance in the element representation in the exterior of your home — and that it is affecting you in a negative way — then you can use landscaping and accents to introduce the desired balancing element(s) in a subtle way. There’s no need to overthink it, or to make choices that won’t please you.

Hope this helps,
Stephanie R.

Q: You advise to do only one cure at a time. I have some very serious health issues and I am focused on that. Can I start a cure for prosperity at the same time?

A: I do think it’s a good idea not to try to apply feng shui to every possible area of your life at once. That just leads to chaos and spreads your attention and energy over many areas, making it difficult to fully focus on the one main thing that deserves your priority attention. And if you are attempting a long-term or complex remedy, such as a 28-day method that requires daily focus and action, then yes, I would recommend keeping your other feng shui strategies simple during that time. When that 28-day period is over, if you feel it’s necessary, you might move on to another remedy or method.<

But that’s just a suggestion, and each individual’s needs are situation are unique. Sometimes there’s more than one top priority area to focus one.

Health issues are rarely about just one thing, because anything that adds to our stress level or interferes with getting restful sleep every night can make us more susceptible to illness or make recovery more difficult. So, if financial issues are causing or adding to anxiety and stress, then addressing them through feng shui may also support your improved health in the long run.

How much feng shui you do, how quickly, is really up to you. If you start to feel overwhelmed by it all, that’s a clear sign to slow down and step back. But if a situation is nagging at you and you feel intuitively that you’d like to address it with feng shui, feel free to move ahead, even if you are already feng shui-ing another issue.

BTW: Health issues are often impacted by “sha chi” of various kinds, because sha chi is a stressor that affects your vitality and can undermine the strength and resilience of your immune system. If you think this is something you’d like to explore, you may want to read this article from several years back in my newsletter archives:

One of the most prevalent forms of sha chi these days is electro-magnetic pollution. You can also download a free report on EMF Dangers & Solutions from my husband’s website here: http://www.emf-health.com
