Feng Shui
he Black Hat Sect Feng Shui, an art of placement, in architectural and interior work, for example, assigns areas in space to a specific function. You can either place the bagua, above, over a floor plan of the home or office or apply it to each living space within it. The same area of any space has the same value. Feng shui works primarily in intent. The same location, regardless of the space, can contain a similar representation of a thought. Feng shui, or wind and water, presents an applicable process to elevate the existence of objects and furniture in your home.
A matter in which a human has usually much greater liberty is the decoration of his room, and it is one of considerable importance to him. For example, the pictures which we hang on the walls of our homes are exercising all the while an unnoticed influence upon us, not only because they keep the expression of certain ideas constantly before our eyes, but also because the artist puts a great deal of himself, of his inmost thought and feeling, into his work, and the effect of all that thought and feeling inheres in the picture and radiates from it just as surely as scent inheres in and radiates from a rose. There is a hidden side to every picture-- the conception which was in the artist' s mind and heart. That conception, when he formed it, expressed itself clearly in astral and mental matter, even though he may have succeeded but partially in bringing his idea down to the physical world.
You want better relationships, for example. If you have eight rooms, you could get into great detail by applying eight related representations in the same area of all of the rooms. This area is the far right corner in relation to the room's entrance.
The Bagua
Another Way to Use Feng Shui
First, create a story. Write a couple of paragraphs on the type of relationships that would benefit you - professionally, or personally - and the persons involved.
Select the remedies to trigger your thoughts when you look at them or even remember that they are in the room.
A pink bow (a remedy I used and I felt it worked) in the far right corner opposite the door would attract intimate relationships. Place images of couples in various places - in parks at picnics, in theaters, at events - in the same area in each of the other rooms that show what you would like to do with your partner.
If marriage is a desire, one should show a couple with all of the objects that represent that ceremony. Include a time line and be specific.

The reinforcement of thinking the thoughts that support your intentions make this process a dynamic, energy-driven activity. Thoughts are things, built with consistency and manifest in accordance to the type of energy you give.

The colors used for feng shui do not necessarily match the colors suggested for vision boards. Mix them so both energetic intentions are included.
- Knowledge/Meditation/Mountain-Blue
- Family/Ancestors/Thunder-Green
- Wealth/Wind-Purple
- Fame/Fire -Red
- Partnership/Earth - Pink
- Children/Creativity - White
- Helpful People/Heaven - Gray
- Career - Black
I find Catherine Ponder's work on prosperity that included meanings for colors also empowering. I would include both, opening the possibilities for interesting décor combinations.
Use:
· Gold and/or green for finance.
· Yellow for spiritual.
· White for understanding.
· Blue for intellectual accomplishments.
· Orange and/or bright yellow for health.
· Pink, rose and/or bright red for love.
Images make excellent remedies or, as I like to
call them, reminders when placed in the designated areas representing your
intentions. They will serve to remind you of your thoughts about what you wish
to achieve. As stated above, personal mementos serve well. You can:
- create your own images, drawn or collages;
- personalize posters and prints with frames, and
- with additional images pasted to the image itself.
Include what makes you unique. The elements do not have to be Chinese. If you are an American, use American coins. If you like a fragrance that reminds you of what you wish to achieve, then use it. If the sound of water stimulates fond memories that you associate with what you want to achieve, include a fountain or two.

Snowflake:
Nature's Multi-Purpose Creation
The snowflake’s composition and geometric perfection makes it an exceptional feng shui wealth remedy.
A lot of dedicated people documented fascinating information on water crystals.
According to Patrick Flanagan, we consume them in water. A statement attributed to Flanagan is “In theory, liquid water, even when boiling, has microscopically tiny ‘ice bergs’ of crystalline water within it, liquid crystals that retain their set structure, whereas, the rest of the water is randomly oriented, vibrating vigorously. Cooling water automatically creates more of the crystals until nearly the whole mass becomes crystalline ice.”
I have read that the hexagonal shape is preferred by inorganic life. Organic life prefers the pentagonal (remember starfish). The images of snowflakes available here clearly dispute this.
Snowflakes! They are the perfect
form for the Wealth or Prosperity area. Wind is the Feng Shui element for this
area.
from The Science of Snowflakes-3
Why? Because snowflakes are:
1. The products of Wind and Water
2. Frozen animation
3. Embody energy- the result of wind’s action on water, and
4. They are light enough to be transported by the element of this area.
Snowflakes can be displayed in this corner (far left from the entrance) in various ways, either dynamic or static. Snowflakes, because of their intrinsic nature, do not always need to presented mobile.

Dr. Masaro Emoto documented the beauty of positive words spoken to water. I feel water responds to the feelings of the speaker. Meditation and prayers to water involve speaking directly to it in a container. No one has differentiated between leaving it on a surface or placing your hands around it. In Silva Mind Method, the container is held between hands. You achieve level and then you speak to the container.
Marble Snowflake
Energy – your focused feelings of compassion, gratitude, and appreciation are absorbed by the water.
Suggestions for symbols:
• Masaru Emoto’s images available through his online store
• Snowflake designs etched on glass and framed either in white or, the color of this area, navy blue.
• Snowflake mobiles made from thin Styrofoam originally created for applying on windows;
• A mobile snowflake like the one I
found at Cracker Barrel several years ago made out of metal and marbles.
Thomas Kinkade Crystal Snowman
Thomas Kinkade Crystal Snowman
A human should be happy when working with energy to elevate it for life enhancement. The Snowman, who deserves a capital "W" because of all the happiness I feel when I look at him, saturates the aether with joy. The material of a snowman is crystal and appropriate for display in the Wind and Water corner.
The multi-faceted material reflects light over and over, expanding the brightness people share with each other when they gather for holidays, friends, and family events, and human gatherings in general. This Thomas Kinkade creation is an amazing object to look at as one imagines and visualizes their home, their gatherings, and what they desire for themselves and everyone else in their lives. The homes in the belly represent community, or the world of people.
The train connects them and hearing the sound of it brings joy ahead of the people we care about when they arrive and happiness and memories when they are gone.
This snowman, or any snowman represent to actively create new memories. Snow melts and, like sand paintings, they exist for an amount of time conditions are supportive.
Environmental and Seasonal Feng Shui Remedies
The Thomas Kinkade Crystal Snowman is a readily understood remedy (at least, in my mind). The Crystal Snowman and snowflakes would be less of a pleasant memory and trigger on the southern continents and their countries.
The image or object must represent wind and water for consistency in feng shui application.
A sailing vessel is an appropriate solution. Sails require wind and makes a canvas to receive an image tht represents a desire. It is stressed that using galleons or cargo vessels used for conflict, or moving involuntary cargo would be counterproductive.
Feng Shui Feels
All of the feng shui choices evoke feelings. The stronger, the better. The feelings carry you throughout the day and evening. Carry them into your dreams,
"It will be a sound approach to describe ‘imaginative’ vision in relation to dreams which a man endowed with imagination may have.
Now the imaginative seer can dream too; and under certain circumstances his dreams will be just as chaotic as those of other people.
From his own experience he can quite well judge the world of dreams; for, side by side with the imaginative life that is inwardly co-ordinated, clear and luminous, the dream-world runs its ordinary course, just as it does side by side with waking life.
We see behind the scenes of dream-life and, in doing so, become aware that we have before us something related to man's spiritual being in quite a definite way. We see that, in a spiritual sense, the dream is the human being, as the seed is the plant."(1)
Many people, with respect to manifestation, discuss manifesting their dreams. Manifest plans using the dreams as a means to achieve them.
