I received an email from someone who had moved into their home a couple years ago and since then had been dealing with water issues-----leaky roof, refrigerator leaked, shower leaked, water in the lower level. Her question was what can they do----more specifically, is there...
Jill and her family lived in a 9,500 sq. ft. home---a home they had carefully chosen out of many they had considered----a home that was close to schools for their children----a home that had virtually all the features they wanted. Yet when I met with...
Over the years, I’ve gotten questions from people about round beds, wondering if they’re “good” Feng Shui or “bad” Feng Shui. The few people that I’ve consulted with who actually sleep in a round bed love, love, love their beds. They’re sleeping well and the...
I’ll admit it----I’m a cat-aholic. I love cats. Some of my friends would say I’m obsessed. Some would even say I’m over the edge with my cats. Some would even say there’s something wrong with me. I don’t care. I love cats. I’ve loved them all...
Although often treated as though it has little impact on a family’s life, in Feng Shui the garage can have an enormous influence. From money and relationships, to health and well-being, the garage may affect in positive or negative ways. Even if the garage is...
An Excerpt from Carole’s recent book “Conversations with Your Home” Just as with any organization/structure that holds life, there has to be some system in place that assures your home will maintain its vitality. Certainly general upkeep and care counts for something and should not be...
In my own training and the training that I give my students, the principle “tool” is a mental map called a bagua. This bagua is superimposed over a space based on the position of the front door and from which can be determined the nine life areas (Career, Knowledge, Family, Wealth, Fame, Partnerships, Children & Creativity, Helpful People, and Health). By determining where an issue is specifically represented on the main floor of the space, a person can gain insight about what kind of changes can or should be made for an optimal outcome. This past week someone asked how the bagua should be placed on an upper floor. This question implies some other questions: Is there a front door upstairs and where is it? Or is the bagua the same from one floor to the next?
Since my book Conversations with Your Home has come out I have had readers share their experiences with me. For some, just simply naming their home changed the relationship. For others, learning to listen to its subtle messages was revealing. For Beth, getting in...
Lately I’ve been addressing a lot of issues in my appointments with people who find themselves living in a space that has no meaning for them. This comes about in many ways. Sometimes a person was drawn to move into a house years ago and...
The other night I woke up to some strange noises. They weren't all that loud, but loud enough that they disturbed my sleep. At first I figured my cats were playing around, but I soon discovered they were all sleeping soundly in various...
My experience as a Feng Shui consultant has opened my eyes and ears to the nuanced messages a house may provide. Although we are typically known for aligning a space to fit with a person’s needs and goals, I’ve learned that a space can have...
