Spread Love!

 

During a period, where being present in the lives of relatives and friends is somewhat limited, where trips had to be canceled, celebrations postponed, I noticed important days such as Easter, Mother’s Day, Birthdays, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, are becoming more and more common to be celebrated separately then in person with each other, not counting friends and relatives who live in other States and even in other countries as in my case. Faced with this situation I was thinking of ways to bring people a little closer together, ways to keep in contact with each other and to really be present in the lives of the people I love. Personally, I have been trying to do my best, always sending messages, making some calls, sending cards to communicate with them in some way.

At the end of the year 2020, I opened my online store and since then I have been following and observing the purchase history and comments of many of my  customers, (Because my items are very personalized including the comments they are sending in the gifts to their loved ones) and I realized that mainly my diamond-shaped candle was being widely used as a gift from mother to daughter, son to father, from a friend who lives in another state, to teachers, nurses, co-workers as a way of showing their love and affection. Realizing this I began to offer a more personalized message inside the box so that the gift can become a little more personal, also the choice of the theme of the box, and the responses from everyone were beautiful!

On the first day of the year, as I always do, I went to the beach to write my resolutions for the year that was just starting,  sitting in the sand, meditating for some time I started writing, first thankful for all the opportunities I had the previous year (yes I try to see the positive side of everything that was happening, to study, plan and organize my life), thankful for all my learning, and began to draw up a plan for the new year ahead. And what came to my mind immediately was “Spread Love” as my mission for 2021.

For a few seconds I was wondering what was the best way to do this and then it came to me, my diamond candle, which became one of my bestselling items in the year 2020. I realized that so many of these candles were being personalized with comments of love and affection and sent because they were missing seeing these people in person and wanted them to know they were thinking about them.

I then thought about the messages and reviews of my customers commenting on the joy of receiving a product made with so much love, received so unexpectedly most of the time, with personalized messages from their loved ones, often even without being a special day or holiday, simply because someone was thinking of them!

That is when the candle “Spread Love” was born, a simple gesture but filled with Love and affection. Each candle contains a hidden crystal inside, it also comes in a beautiful box with a personalized message from the sender, packed with great love & care, because I make sure that everyone who receives my products feels incredibly special and loved.

As soon as I came home, I created a list of people that I will surprise this year. With the start of the year, I have already sent some surprise gifts to some people who were not expecting them and the reactions were so positive that I immediately began to “Spread Love” to move of my friends and family.

What about you? Do you have someone you are thinking of that you would like to “Spread Love” to? Help make this world a little happier during these hard times by sending out a small token of your love and affection.

A wealth vase is an ancient Chinese amulet that was used to bring wealth and prosperity to Chinese families from the time immemorial. Back then, only the wealthiest people could afford to make such a talisman.

Create a Feng Shui Wealth Vase to Stimulate Wealth Luck

The feng shui wealth vase is an ancient secret for accumulating wealth. You can use it to improve your personal wealth luck.  it is important to fill the vase with your clear intent for wealth which helps energize the vase.

Size of Wealth Vase

You can choose any size of a wealth vase you want. Keep in mind that ancient emperors used huge floor vases as well as more discreet ones to attract and protect their wealth. Feng shui rules advise you to hide the wealth vase once it’s complete, although if you are comfortable having your wealth showcased, you can display, you just need to do this with intention, the size and color your decide, this is your vase.

Select Type of Wealth Vase

The type of wealth vase you use is important. You need a vase that has a base that is wider than its top. The classic ginger jar is the preferred choice since it has a wide opening, but the neck is narrow and comes with a lid. A regular vase doesn’t have the lid and although you can use it, your wealth vase will be far more secure with a lid.

Five Essential Wealth Vase Ingredients

There are three essential wealth vase ingredients you will need to infuse it with the powerful money magnet energy that it’s famous for bestowing to its creator/owner. These ingredients include soil, symbols of wealth, foodstuff, colored cloths, and ribbons.

1. Soil From Rich Person’s Yard

The soil you will add to your wealth vase needs to be from the yard of a wealthy person. The soil must be given to you freely by the wealthy person. If you steal the soil without the owner’s knowledge or permission, it won’t work its magic for you.

Substitute for Wealthy Person’s Soil

If you can’t get soil from a wealthy person, then you can substitute with a different soil. You will need rich fertile soil from an area that is thriving and flourishing with vibrant plant life and energy. You can also use a Picture of  a wealthy person.

2. Symbols and Items of Wealth and Prosperity

You want to choose symbols and different items to represent the whealth and prosperity you wish to attract to you. You can choose from traditional Feng Shui items. You can also choose to include things that are your ideal symbols of wealth. Most people opt to have a mixture of traditional feng shui items and personal ones. Since it is your wealth vase, the choices are up to you. Some of the traditional feng shui ingredients to include in your vase include:

  • Crystal chips in an assortment to represent earthly wealth (red and Gold Crystals are some examples)
  • Currency from different countries
  • Faux diamonds and gemstones
  • Five miniature globes of different colors
  • Gold bars and gold ingots (Real are best, but certainly faux can be used as symbols.)
  • Gold flakes for real gold element or pieces of gold jewelry
  • I Ching coins
  • One of the gods of wealth (Caishen)
  • Picture/photos of house, car, yacht, clothes, and material items you deem as status symbols of wealth
  • Photos of wealthy people you find inspiring
  • Semi-precious gemstones
  • Six mini-crystal balls, smooth finish for harmony
  • Three Chinese brass coins from auspicious dynasty tied together with red string or ribbon

3. Cash From a Rich Person

You need to include cash from a rich person in your wealth vase. The easiest way to get this currency is to ask if the person can give you change for a larger bill. This allows you to swap the money in a fair exchange.

4. Feng Shui Tradition of Adding Food to Wealth Vases

The practice of placing rice and other grains in the wealth vase is an ancient feng shui tradition for imbuing wealth energy into the food. The grains were annually replaced with fresh grains and the wealth infused grains consumed over the course of the following year. Use 5 differents grains, it’s best to place in sealable bags.

5. Five Pieces of Colored Square Cloth and Ribbons

You will need five squares of colored fabric cloth and matching colored ribbons. Each of the Five colors represent the five elements. The colors you need are blue, green, yellow, red, and white

.

Cleanse Your Feng Shui Wealth Vase Before Filling It

You will need to cleanse your feng shui wealth vase before placing anything in it. You can use a sandalwood incense cone or an incense stick placed in an incense holder.

  1. Set the incens or sage holder on a table.
  2. Light the incense or sage and place in the holder.
  3. Turn the vase upside down and hold the opening over the incense or sage.
  4. Fill the vase with smoke from the incense or sage to clear out any stagnant chi energy.
  5. Once you feel that the incense/sage  has cleared out the stagnant chi energy in the vase, turn the vase upright and set down on the table.
  6. Hold the vase lid over the burning incense /sage to clear any stagnant chi energy tramped in it.
  7. Once you’re satisfied that stagnant energy in your wealth vase has been cleared, you can either let the incense continue to burn or snuff it off.

How to Assemble the Ingredients in Your Wealth Vase

Once you’ve cleansed the wealth vase with incense or sage, you’re ready to begin assembling your wealth vase. You will assemble the ingredients in your wealth vase with deliberate intent. You want to have a sense of respect for each item you add into the vase.

  1. Hold the neck of the vase between your hands and focus your energy on the inside of the vase.
  2. Meditate on your intentions for creating your feng shui wealth vase and envision filling the vase with your desires, hopes, wishes, plans, and goals.
  3. Once you’re satisfied you’ve imbued your energy inside the vase, you can begin filling it.
  4. Place the soil/dirt collected from a rich person’s yard or other fertile soil in the bottom of your feng shui wealth vase. This soil becomes the foundation for your wealth building.
  5. If you’ve chosen to use grains, place inside your vase.
  6. Add the money and coins, gold bars and ingots, followed by the gemstones.
  7. Place god of wealth in the center of your vase, facing out (make sure you know where he is by making a tiny mark, piece of tape on the outside or bottom of the vase).
  8. Carefully, place the remaining items into the vase until it is three-fourths full to leave room for wealth to grow.

Sealing Your Wealth Vase

Once your wealth vase is completely full, you need to place the lid on it. You’re now ready to add the five pieces of colored cloth and tie it the five colored ribbons to hold them in place.

  • Place the blue square of fabric over the lid.
  • In precise order, add the green, red, yellow, and white fabrics. You should end up with the white piece of fabric on top of the other cloths.
  • Tie the five colored ribbons around the vase neck to hold the fabrics in place.

Where to Place Your Feng Shui Wealth Vase

There are several places you can store your wealth vase. The main thing you want is a place where no one will disturb it or accidentally overturn it. Always place your feng shui wealth vase of wealth facing into a room, never facing out of a room, door, or window.

  • One good location for a wealth vase is your bedroom inside an armoire or cabinet with the god of wealth facing into the room.
  • Some people prefer to put their wealth vase on display.
  • You can place your feng shui wealth vase in the southeast sector of your home.
  • Your personal wealth sector according to your Kua number is another great location.

Annual Additions to Your Feng Shui Wealth Vase

Each year on the anniversary of your wealth vase creation, you will add one or two pieces of gold. This symbolizes that you are adding to your wealth by accumulating gold.

  1. Remove the ribbons and cloths.
  2. Open the lid to add real gold or faux ingots.
  3. You can also add coins or paper money along with the gold.
  4. Replace the cloths in the correct order.
  5. Retie the ribbons and set the vase back in its storage or display place.

The main piece of furniture in a living room is usually the couch, which should rest against a solid wall. Currently, one of the popular western furniture arrangements is to place the seating group in the middle of the room without any wall support. This is called a floating arrangement and should be avoided.

No matter the function of the space, no living room is complete without a couch—and, as it turns out, its placement can have a big impact. 

 

After you select a commanding position for your couch, you’ll probably want to know where to place your television “Most TVs these days are so slim that you could mount it on the wall, which helps keep a more sleek and neat presentation,. When it comes to the question of whether or not you should you hang your television over your fireplace. But if your intention is to create a space for greater connection and conversation with family, allowing the fireplace to be the main focal point is a much better option.

Furniture pieces with sharp corners that stick out into walkways can obstruct the flow of chi in a room. Threatening angles or obstructive furniture can create cutting energy, which makes the living room feel uncomfortable. Use circular tables or rounded ottomans to keep the space open. Potted plants can also be added to diffuse obtrusive furniture edges and mask negative energy.

Before arranging your feng shui living room, you need to determine where the room falls on the Bagua (or energy map). This map details how to layout and connect different rooms in your home with the nine areas of life: creativity, health, relationships, travel, self, career, prosperity, wisdom, and fame. Arranging the layout of your home and each individual room with the Bagua can help attract the most positive energy.

With a Feng Shui Consultation you can learn everythng how to fix your Living Room energy flow.

 

Namaste!!

A Feng Shui Home Office is a positive and productive place to work. But contrary to popular belief, Feng Shui isn’t a way to decorate or a Chinese style of decor. Both a science and an art, Feng Shui is all about energy and attraction. The purpose is to create a space that triggers specific emotions and feelings.

Feng Shui is especially important for a home office because unlike a corporate space, you have complete control over how it’s designed, what furniture is used, and the layout of the room. There isn’t just one way to feng shui an office; it depends on the person and their professional goals, as well as what the room is being used for. Feng Shui can increase business by drawing in more clients, creating happier employees, and generating more wealth.

A Feng Shui office can be the key to a highly productive day, a more successful career, and ultimately, a better life. Here are some expert tips for creating a feng shui home office.

1 – The desk should face where you can see who is coming and going from the room. This is a power position and it equals major success. Your back facing the door creates vulnerability and anxiety.

But not all office layouts allow for the ideal position of the desk. If you have no choice but to have your back facing the door, hanging a mirror in front of your workspace so you can see who is entering and exiting the door. Ideally, your back will be facing a wall (not a window or other furniture like a bookcase).

 

The single most important piece of furniture in any home office is the desk. Making sure your desk is sturdy above all else (so avoid a leaning desk, for example). Whatever style of furniture you choose, make sure the desk is in good repair, the legs are even, and there is absolutely no wobbling.

Wood desks are ideal because it’s a natural material that is also sturdy.  It features two drawers for storage so the surface can stay neat with any clutter tucked away .White,  may be a better color for those who need to stimulate creativity or work in creative fields.

Color are very important Feng Shui especially in a room like an office. The colors you choose should really depend on what kind of work you are doing and the compass reading.. For example, the colors an accountant would likely choose for feng shui probably wouldn’t be as conducive to productivity as they would be for a graphic designer.

White or pastels help stimulate creativity, green represents growth, black represents the water element and is associated with money, while purple represents clarity. But if you feel stressed, go with earth tones.

 

4 – Don’t forget plants:

The Pilea Peperomioides  plant, which is also called the Chinese money plant. The round leaves look like little coins and it’s beautiful. It has become quite trendy on Instagram the past few years.

Any plant that has a rounded leaf. A succulent garden potted in a wood trough very good feng shui and makes an ideal desk accessory.

Flowering plants (purple and red) are also good choices,. An orchid fits the bill here.

Lighting is just one way to improve your home office feng shui. A well-lit office is important because working in a dark office can be draining. While an abundance of natural light is ideal, all office spaces need supplementary lighting from lamps. No matter what style lamp you choose, it’s best to avoid fluorescent light bulbs because they zap your energy.

 

 

Art is also very important for a feng shui office. Hang art that inspires you, Place images of people you admire and aspire to be like and use positive mantras painted or hanging on the wall.

Feng shui colors can change the environment and vibe of your home, but it’s more than just simply making a space look better aesthetically. Contrary to what many people believe, feng shui isn’t a method or style of decorating. It is both an art and science, the purpose of which is to balance and harmonize, which will ultimately increase your personal energy levels.

Feng shui triggers your subconscious brain to make new choices according to what you want to bring into your life. Whether you seek money, balance, happiness, or a renewed sense of clarity, feng shui will help.

An easy way to feng shui your home or office is to use color. Color has a profound effect on how you behave and on your energy level—it can increase or decrease it. Depending on the color, you can feel relaxed, anxious, tired, wide awake, hungry, and even romantic.

It is no secret for those who know me that I am in love with plants, flowers, and nature in general.

But since I moved to Florida, in the house where I live now, I lived with a serious problem in relation to my plants outside, always ugly and weak, with fungi, but the main problem was the plants inside the house always dying fast.

I tried various types of plant foods, vitamins to put in the water, and nothing solved the problem. Flowers, roses, sunflowers lasted a maximum of two days indoors, even with all care and dedication, which made me very sad.

I have always been studying about energy, how energy influences our lives, our relationships, so I decided to dive deeper in, to understand and help solve the energy problems in my home. The most well-known and effective method is Feng Shui, which I have known for a long time. So I decided to dive deeper into the subject to learn more.

In the middle of this journey, when I started to apply the bagua in the floor plan of my house, I came across a problem. My house was built in an L-shape which further complicated my progress, causing me to study more and more about Feng Shui on how to hit these missing areas, compensate for the missing energy, and help create a balance of energy flow.

I took several courses and was learning and practicing in my own home. It was an intense process because it involves cleaning, organizing, cleaning the closets, discarding objects that we don’t use, that are broken and unfortunately my husband likes to accumulate some things.

The organization and  the improvement of the flow of energy has everything to do with how your home responds to energy, affecting your health, your work, relationships, finances, spirituality, in short can both help and hinder your life.

If you feel sad, tired, unmotivated inside your home or office, surely you should be aware of the energy. Everything generates energy, our body is made of energy, everything we touch has energy and inside our homes and office, where we spend more time is where we share more of this energy.

Well after learning more and applying the methods I learned, the results in my house can be seen in the picture attached here. For the last few years ,flowers and plants are getting more beautiful every day. Flowers and roses indoors last from 2 to 3 weeks, some surprise me and last even longer. They all keep their colors vibrant and attract the attention of our visitors.

O QUE TE INSPIRA?

 | MARIHARTPHOTO

Seja qual for o trabalho que vc exerça, uma coisa é certa. É preciso inspiração para levantar da cama todos os dias, e fazer com louvor. E com a fotografia, não tem como ser diferente. A maneira como vemos as coisas, o mundo, as pessoas, nada mais é do que reflexo de nossas vivências, e é através dessas experiências que iremos nos expressar.

Um filme, uma música, um poema. A gargalhada de uma criança, ou o olhar encantado de um bebê para sua mãe. Uma obra de arte ou escultura. O som da chuva lá fora, o cheiro da terra molhada. Um casal apaixonado, uma mulher amamentando sua cria. Um café fresco, uma pintura. Ou ondas batendo na pedra, representando toda a força da natureza. Um mantra. Uma oração. Há quem chame de Deus, não existe regra, cada um a seu modo.

Tudo isso e mais um pouco, faz meu coração bater mais forte. Alimenta minha alma, enche meu peito de amor, e assim, reflete na minha fotografia que é minha principal forma de expressão. É preciso estar atento aos sinais da vida, aguçando os sentidos e exercitando o olhar perante o mundo. Esta é minha profissão, com toda sua doçura e amargura.

E vc?

O que alimenta sua alma?

Feng SHui is Energy

All life requires growth, evolution and movement. When we lack these elements in our life, the energy that makes up our lives becomes stunted. Imagine not having enough energy to power a light bulb: it grows dim and burns in a weakened state. When we have overstuffed homes – especially with outdated, unused and unloved items, our lives become weakened too.

But how do you know when it’s clutter and when it’s disorganization?

Clutter is when you have eight spatulas or a closet full of clothes you haven’t worn in years. Disorganization is when you can’t find what you’re looking for. Simply organizing your home with shelving, baskets, boxes, and other organizers will often clean up the disarray. In fact, by using organizing items you can often make more room than if you didn’t use them.

Look at your challenges to find the kind of organizers you need. Is the big mess in the kitchen or the bathroom? Maybe the living room is out of control. You might not be able to find an important bill that needs to be paid because you don’t have a place to put the bills when they come in. No matter what your need is, there are containers of every possible size and description that can help you organize your house where you need it.

Unlike a tornado, clutter doesn’t just happen. It gets that way over time.

Sometimes clutter is so insidious that we don’t even notice it until we’re deluged by it. Hopefully, you’ve learned some things about clutter, like what it is, what to do about it, and how it’s different than disorganization. But, just like any good habit, such as exercise, decluttering isn’t something you do and then it’s done: it’s something you start and then keep doing.

Too often people are bitten by the declutter bug and make one big push to declutter. That’s wonderful and having your clutter cleared in one fell swoop feels incredible and unburdens you. Most of the time, though, clutter is related to a vitamin deficiency. Either someone is frozen in fear and doesn’t do anything about the clutter, usually because they’re just overwhelmed, or they do it once or then forget about it for the next 25 years.

Schedule it

Having a regular routine for decluttering is the single best way to keep it from getting out of hand. Pick a daily time that’s convenient such as every day at four o’clock. Then, spend fifteen or so minutes working at removing clutter (tossing mail, magazines, clearing out the refrigerator). Make it long enough you can accomplish something but not so long that you’ll give up.

Declutter with other activities

Instead of just putting freshly-washed towels away toss out your old tired towels first. Or, while your child is getting ready for bed, take a moment to go through some drawers and remove outgrown or stained clothing. Decluttering as you do other things makes decluttering part of daily living — and that creates a routine.

Make it a habit to be aware

Don’t unload groceries into the refrigerator that’s messy or cluttered with jelly jars with only a teaspoon of jam in them. Instead, quickly go through the fridge and toss old items out and wipe down shelves before restocking, and do the same in the pantry – this is the quality of being present with clutter and your environment. Likewise, if you take a phone message and the pen you’re using doesn’t work, make it a habit to throw it away and not put it back in the holder (and I know you do this!).

Be present

Becoming present means that you are aware where you are. That sounds obvious, but if you’ll start becoming more aware and present wherever you are, you’ll notice that you stop forgetting things and misplacing items and you’ll notice how your home and office stay cleaner and neater more easily.

You’ll also notice that you get more accomplished, you’ll scratch things off your mental and physical to-do lists, you’ll become less patient with people who drain you and you’ll get three very valuable qualities back into your life again. They are initiative, motivation and enthusiasm: the zest of living.

Yes, old, broken, crowded, and too-much stuff can do that to you — rob you of zest for living. Free yourself and become aware of what you have and what you really use or don’t use. Getting rid of useless items will unburden your home, mind and spirit and will open up your life again!

Your goals for decluttering this week:

Become more aware and present wherever you are. If you’re in the bathroom and you see a two-year old bottle of prescription medicine you don’t need, why not throw it out?

Straighten and organize before adding anything. Take time to clean the refrigerator and/or pantry before adding groceries. It might take a little longer the first time, but if you do it for a few minutes before adding groceries, each time will get shorter and your fridge or pantry will be neat and tidy.

Worst first. Instead of handling a small clutter area, tackle the worst area first. Get the tough stuff out of the way and you’ll feel instantly energized. Enlist help if you need it. Ask a friend to help you and keep you strong. Who knows? Once you start really pitching, you might find that you are so ENERGIZED that you don’t WANT to stop!

Feng shui is the art and science of designing harmonious environments based on the profound Chinese understanding of how people are connected to and affected by their close surroundings.

The principle aim of feng shui is to introduce specific positive changes and adjustments into living and working environments so that they are able to support you better, rather than possibly hindering you. Influences of the physical landscape, space, time and orientation  are all assessed. The core of this evolved ancient practice lies in seeking a wholesome, balanced relationship between yin and yang, qi and five elements, man and nature. Feng means wind. Shui means water. 

The Benefits of Feng Shui

Feng shui can be a very effective tool for helping people to create harmonious working and living environments, which can also bring about other changes for the better as a consequence. But it cannot guarantee wealth, health or happiness. It is not magic, so beware of people who make such claims. Some scientific research into feng shui is taking place.

Three Basic Feng Shui Concepts

Qi

The Chinese word Qi expresses a complex natural force generated by a combination of both real and abstract sources, including sunlight, cosmic influences, colour vibrations, the movement and quality of the air around us, the flow of water, the nature of our thoughts and emotions, the form of objects, and so much more., Qi influences how a place feels and how we feel in it, depending on whether it can circulate harmoniously or not.

Yin and Yang 

The concept of Yin and Yang is that interconnection and continuous change is the dynamic process of nature, which is the significance expressed by the familiar yin-yang symbol. It is fundamental to Chinese cultural philosophy,. Examples are light and shade, inner and outer, movement and stillness. A balance between yin and yang creates harmony and stability in a place, as the natural equilibrium becomes disrupted whenever there is too much of one or other.

Five Elements (wu xing)

The five elements also known as the five phases or transformations, are water, wood, fire, earth and metal. They are correlated to the eight feng shui trigrams. Each trigram relates to a specific compass direction, colour, shape, season, family member and body part. The five elements can be either physical objects or metaphoric representations, used in various ways to strengthen, support, enhance, weaken, manage or control one another, depending upon their relationship and placement. They are introduced to beneficially influence a living space and to support its occupants.

Feng Shui Bagua

Another tool used in feng shui is called the bagua. The bagua is octagon shaped and is divided into the eight wedges. These wedges represent the main eight compass directions of north, northeast, east, southeast, south, southwest, west, and northwest. The compass wedges are called sectors.

  • Each sector rules a specific area of life, such as career, education, health, wealth, fame/recognition, love/relationships, descendants (children), and mentors.
  • Each sector is governed by one of the five elements.
  • Each sector is represented by colors that correlate to the element of that sector.

How the Bagua Is Used

A bagua overlay is placed over your home layout or blueprint according to the compass reading made by the feng shui practitioner. The facing direction of your home is usually the front door.

Compass Directions and the Bagua

The bagua overlay will give you a clear picture of the various sectors (compass directions) of each room in your home. This information helps you determine which elements need to be activated in each room to achieve balance and encourage the chi energy to flow into that area.
