Feng Shui for 2009 Annual


Image : http://www.flickr.com


Writing this newsletter's annual health care each year has been a labor of love born from my desire to know what to do, how it works and how best to support my students and clients. Every year I see more reports from other doctors around the world available. Some are quite basic and others are wonderfully rich in history and metaphysical foundations to do, because we have to make sense of what we do.

All operators that emphasize teacher first, a house orOffice have a good Feng Shui. annual treatments simply do little if the home or office Feng Shui to help disaster.

There are many variables to consider, especially, your inborn constitution to address health risks, your karma with the money, which could deal with what are financially difficult times, your harmonious relationship based on how you are for your relationship problems resolved, and so on. Good Feng Shui is not a low IQ a genius, but goodFeng Shui, each student ratio should increase the capacity of their capabilities.

Able to predict what effect usually large population, but what you did for one year are unique and can be based on birth information will be assessed. This is something I do for 35 years with Western astrology. Other Vedic Astrology, Four Pillars of Destiny can be trained and other systems for the analysis also describe future trends. Like all systemsFurther across holographic, leadership and knowledge should be similar to the skill of the player.

If I were to make future projections, I think of as similar to displaying a roadmap road conditions. If there is a "stretch out irregularly, is too slow at best, to prevent" bottom out "and make a hole in our gas tank, or if the conditions are favorable, you can write" Petal to the metal and zoom with ease and firmness our merry way. The concept is betterarmed - with the power as co-creator of your destiny to go, instead of bouncing along quite unknown and out of control.

Solar and lunar calendar

The Far East, with two calendars. The lunar calendar is used for ceremonial purposes and the determination of the zodiac. And 'this new lunar year, you know everything about your favorite restaurant placemats in Chinese. This calendar starts the second new moon after the winter solstice, which this yearfalls on January 26 and then there are the solar calendar.

It 's the solar calendar, in Xuan Kong (Time-Space) uses Feng Shui, known as Flying Star (Fe Xing) Feng Shui, Feng Shui that the most important adjustments required determines how changes in the earth's magnetic field at the beginning of every spring.

Chinese New Year starts on February 3 in the East solar or 4 and 'this day not as the beginning of spring, as the middle way "between'Winter Solstice and the Vernal Equinox.

2009 - Year of the Earth Yin Cow
As now Brown Cow

Some call it the Year of the Ox, but technically, since this is a "yin" Year of the Cow is a more appropriate name. In both cases, the ox or cow the sign of prosperity through fortitude and hard work. It 'also the sign of the leader, born as a very reliable and has an innate ability to do great things. As you might expect, these people are reliable, quiet and modest. Astheir animal namesake, the Ox is unswervingly patient, tireless in their work, and in a permanent position lot of misery, without complaint. You can access all the efforts around the world and seek solutions to them. These people are extremely intelligent, speaks little, and, if necessary, to articulate, and eloquent.

Sound familiar? That's right, Barack Obama is an ox. He was born in 1961, the year of the Ox Metal. When signs of animals in the Chinese system of 12 characters are oxindustrious, stoic and hard work - a rich harvest reflects a conscious effort.

Of course not all the zodiac signs are compatible with the Ox, born mainly in Goat, Dragon, and the years of the dog. Individuals born in these years are particularly recommended, and each is usually a Pi Yao amulet with a charm on a necklace, keychain or hang from your rearview mirror to wear. Although you can sign for your charm of certain animals each year, a Pi Yao is the bestWay to go, as Pi Yao are loyal, and sacrifice to protect the welfare of their owners.

Xuan Kong Feng Shui - 2009
Annual number 9

There are many approaches to Feng Shui. The first and most important the evaluation of the geography and the flow of chi, through and around an area. This is the theme of my book, choose the best house for you: The feng shui checklist.

Many of you know the Bagua as a method of "mapping" in your home or officeDesignation of certain areas of a focal point for wealth, relationships, career, and so on - which is often referred to as the Eight Aspirations. In this system, we provide a number of elements that symbolize those aspirations.

A more traditional approach using a compass to determine the magnetic field of a place as seen in cycles of 20 years periods. There are nine different periods of 180 years. From February 5, 2004 are now in the eighth period

Within each of these periods of 20 years each yearis also ruled by an energy model known as the annual number, the annual number for 2009 is 9 The # 9 determines how the other numbers, the different types of primary energy, or Qi, "fly" to the order of energy Shu Magic Square (above) described. These are the figures that the five elements - Wu Xing, has ruled that parts of the house can or can not enjoy his good fortune.

Maintaining a balance

Consider whether you have been weighedsomething on a scale with one side heavier than the others. Add some 'equilibrium from either side, and finally bring the budget in balance. Or like a faucet when the water is too hot, a little 'cold, until it just right.

Now the report has some other influences Elementals have positive, negative, and lead. In some cases, the balance is not affected, and tilt the balance in some fundamental wrong. And 'this needMaintaining a balance is necessary that the means to carry a balance is tipping the negative, and enhancer should be considered to maximize the potential of good omen.

Through analysis, where these energies, the escort reductive cycles or control of the theory of five elements, we can neutralize negative energy and positive step up. Here for a description of what to do.

Note: When Feng Shui was developed by the Chinese for thousands of years, many ofThe solutions are Asian themes. However, you can substitute other elements that will feel to achieve the same results.

It should also be understood that, as Feng Shui from China have traveled to many new places, different operators have developed several methods to achieve a harmonious result. Since their methods learned from other professionals, some blocks, some experts on Feng Shui authoritative tone. "What should be done"

Therefore, we in the Westhave a wonderful opportunity to hear what others are saying all teachers, and decide what we experience how to work better for us. Try to be flexible during the process of learning that resonates with your feelings, and not blindly follow any one method. The most important is to observe the results and change accordingly.

Empower your care and improvements

I'm sure many of you reading this are very spiritual culture and maturity developed, and they are perfectly capable ofto bless and to revitalize and improve care is to change its position on your site, or by the three reinforcements secret mantra, mudra and visualization.

You can also save energy in every element the element of the palm of a hand with your palm on the dominant voice. Tune in, a prayer or blessing for the program element to fulfill its purpose. Or as they say, your going to anchor. Wait for it to animate the element with the transfer of qi, and feelRespectfully place the object in the appropriate place.

Clean or dispose of the old bathrooms

Before the beginning of the calendar year on February 4 New, clean all the treatments, as Wu Lu (pumpkin), Pi Yao (dragon-line fours), bells and most of the money in the treatments last year. There are some medical care suggest that all the previous year, must be discarded, while others believe it is a bit 'extreme. Almost all doctors agree, however, that it is bettercompletely Bagua mirrors and bath salt (see below) have, as they are full of negative energy.

Some authorities recommend treatment last year had to be exposed to them, the Full Moon will be clean during the night, instead of others in direct sunlight for at least four hours. Some say it is necessary to sprinkle the year before treatment with sea salt and then rinse. Clean as your tradition.

Install Cure

Once items are clean, should be askedTheir new positions on Feb. 4. Some people put their care in the first 4 February, but at any time during the year is better than ever. As soon as there are cures, they say it takes about a month to absorb all the negative energy generated by the negative numbers are introduced, and enjoy the benefits of improvements in positive numbers to improve.

But whatever you do, do not worry if your bed, door or office in these areas as "affected" thisYear. With your Feng Shui and improvements in the right, balance your home or office to bring so that you continue to enjoy good health, wealth, harmony and relationship.

However, if we are to regular treatments, you start to create problems relating to finances, health, relationships, or any other area of life to remove the experience, or add a healing proposed placement, and thus look again. Flying Star remedy forthe house is done once. annual treatments are short-term results and may need adjustment.

Note: consulting with a professional Feng Shui consultant can be beneficial to the outside of geography and the Flying Star combinations of numbers that were in force when the house or office was built to be evaluated.

Work with the ground floor and a careful use of compass

You can divide the ground floor with the traditional 9-box grid method or the method of wheel with eight spokes of choice for many champion of Hong Kong.

Drying Herbs

Drying herbs is one of the easiest ways to preserve leaves and flowers for later use in cooking, cosmetics, health care or prescriptions or potions. There are three different methods for drying.

- Air drying by hanging.

- Air drying screens

- Drying in a desiccator

Hanging Herbs

Hanging out to dry herbs is a good way to keep them. But it will be necessary in a well ventilated, dark area, and one that remains dry throughout the year. An attic is a good solution after all the windows that allow sunlight is covered. In many situations, a person is also a basement or a room for this purpose.

The best time to gather herbs for drying in the morning. No need to wash them if they were spotted with mud. If you wash your herbs to ensure they are completely dry before putting on a group by hanging.

To hang dry herbs, tie beams or bunches of flowers with twist ties, wire, or even> Bands, and depend on a certain type of equipment, so that air circulates freely around them. You can use clothes, books or hang any other method. Make sure you leave space between hangers or parcels to allow proper air circulation for optimum drying.

If you are drying the herbs for cooking in this way, you can create the best results with bundles of herbs in paper bags, to find his thinking to grow as a dry dusty. This can be aslightly longer, up to three weeks, will stay clean!

may, if you live in a humid environment or area where you are in the grass drying moisture accumulate, wrapping gauze around herbs instead of paper bags will provide a better solution, providing more air circulation around plants, but keep it clean of dust.

Hang the branches of the plants upside down at least one foot from the wall and leaving at least six centimeters between bunches of herbs. While most herbs takeabout two weeks to dry if they are dark and dry, those that are covered with paper bags, or gauze, probably a week, maybe more, before they are ready, hanging open.

You can determine if your herbs are ready or not, or if they are completely dry, as touching. When they are finished you will hear crackling and crisp. You can use or store for some time, but keep in mind that since the water is evaporated from stemand leaves, their flavor is more concentrated than fresh herbs from your garden you choose. For this reason, reducing the amount of add recipes, perhaps half to one third, as you use if you have fresh grass.

After the dry grass, remove leaves from the stands and store in a tightly closed container or containers in a cabinet that is not open to direct sunlight.

Drying screens

Drying herbs on a screen or monitor relief, have increasedwith blocks of wood or other object shows a little 'easier for aspiring small leaves and flowers that are otherwise difficult to handle without damaging it or hang.

Dehydrators

If you are in an area of the country, the relatively high humidity makes the whole year there are over a dehydrator may be the only option for proper drying herbs. However, even if dehydrator to dry herbs like parsley and basil on hand, may lose their color or flavor, ifair dry. A dryer for drying the roots in about three days perfect, but especially small when drying herbs like thyme, dehydrator tray covered with gauze to prevent falling leaves around.

There are three different methods of drying herbs. Each has its positive and negative. Choose the one that best suits your needs

With a simple treatment of the tribe, can work with any flower for home textiles and shows comPete, either alone or in combination with other flowers, is a single winner of blue ribbons.

Normally a poppy soon started to go after it was cut, such as latex seals the end of the shaft and prevents the water evaporates from its replacementPetals. Burning of the stem with a candle flame, immersion in boiling water or grinding prolongs lifespan.

For fresh flowers for their normal range, cut the stems of different lengths, and establish a direct effect on gas or electric stove, hold the ends of the stems above the flame and keep it there until the end is charred and lights, such as coal , and the last two centimeters burned well. This will last from two to five minutes. Then put the flowers inWater. You will have three days to a week, and the stems are flexible or never wilted leaves. Petals falling just as the plant grows as they age. The vessel can also be attached to the sun without wilting.

For best results, fresh flowers in the early morning hours are cut when you're up early enough, you will find many flowers that have shed their green berets, but they are still in the development of their petals of silk. If you're after, then selectThe flowers have no pollen on its petals. If the pollen is the dust questionable, the anthers with small scissors to remove.

Poppies can also be cut in the bud, by mail to friends, if you have something new to see. Burn the end of the stem in cold water for several hours, then wrap a piece of cotton around the end of the stick. Cover with wax paper and rubber band to hold it too. There should be a gem, that in a day or two left openlater, and this is a bit 'hard to assess, because the poppies do not show color in advance (no color that shows exactly is wrong with the page and can remain unchanged for a week or more before opening). The only guide you have is that the shell is thinner, a little 'dry and not so green when it is ready to break. With a little 'practice you will be able to hear it the gem that is found slightly softer, but I think you're good and larger flowers, speaking onPlant. .

All oriental poppies do cut flowers, but there are a number of delicate pastel shades are especially good for flower arrangements, especially with the addition of Phalaenopsis orchids East. Since some of these bleach delicate shade of a few hours of direct sun, I always called the cut poppy. Detailed descriptions of color are very hard.

All our modern oriental poppies are pretty stiff stems that do not need tunnels under the usual conditions,but if your site is very windy or plants are crowded between shrubs is high, a ring game or a peony bamboo support necessary to keep them straight.
