Grace, peace and ease of recovery

I hope all of you on the East Coast as well as the surrounding areas are safe and recovering well after Hurricane Sandy. Thankfully my family and I were not seriously affected. The power is out for some of my relatives but that is a tiny inconvenience compared to the hundreds who have lost their…

Glowing from Within

I’ve been listening to my own advice these days. I have been actively working on cultivating my qi – meditating, practicing qigong, getting acupuncture, and eating really, really healthfully. I usually do eat pretty well with the exception of an occasional french fry or two. But boy, am I  impressing myself these days. Every morning…

Feng Shui your plate

“Isn’t Feng Shui only about moving furniture around or choosing a paint color?” Yes, those are definitely Feng Shui elements but just part of the equation. Think about it, how does moving your furniture and painting your bedroom wall a color you love make you feel? If done right, you should feel happy and supported,…

A very loved Feng Shui colleague sadly passed away this weekend, Jon Sandifer. I never personally met him, but the outpouring of international love is testament to the man he was.

Better than morning coffee

I was having a harried morning before a Feng Shui consultation today. Things were not moving along smoothly and there seemed to be a hiccup at every turn and it was only 8am! Having gone through my ritualistic preparation before leaving my home, I brought my attention to my immediate surroundings. Most Feng Shui practitioners know…

Stairway to Heaven

These lovely stairs were designed by APOLLO Architects in their newest building in Kitayama-cho, Fuchu, Tokyo called Ring. The overall look is serene and airy but the staircase makes me a bit nervous. Chi is a very important element in Feng Shui. The energy of a home needs to move smoothly and effortlessly for the occupants…

A Cut Above the Rest

Beautiful isn’t it? If you look very closely though, you’ll see that it’s not as flat as you thought it was…… Whoa. That’s what I said when I saw (and figured out) what exactly was Lisa Rodden’s works of art. Delicate little treasures that are not only gorgeous but spiritually moving and emotionally imbued. Her…

Helping Hands

Spring is definitely in the air. Much to retailers’ delight, the unseasonably warm air entices women to window shop and sometimes, ahem, store shop. On such an adventure, I stumbled upon a beautiful in-store design that was short of a full blown art installation. From afar, the delicate colors were ethereal. The pattern, mesmerizing. The…
