In this issue of Harmonious Living we will explore ways to expand your living spaces to open new doors of opportunity (including the Feng Shui results of my own, long overdue bathroom remodel). Whether your spring project is big or small, indoors or outdoors, you will learn tips for creating greater flow in your life.

Feature Article: The Joy of Expanding Spaces
 Life is about upward growth and expansion into greater expression. Everywhere in nature this law is in effect, especially in the season of spring with delicate buds opening and trees rising taller toward the sky. As human beings we also seek to expand. From a Feng Shui perspective, your home is an outer reflection of your life. How might you expand your living spaces for greater joy and ease in your life?
Clearing clutter in your home is a great way to open up space -- so how about tackling that room that needs it most? The removal of clutter creates an immediate impact and like a breath of fresh air, both you and the space open to greater clarity. Here are a few other ways to open up more space:
- Remove tall or blocking furniture from the pathway into a room to create physical space.
- Open the curtains and blinds for an expanded view to the outdoors.
- Move your desk from away from the wall and face your best personal directions for greater energy and clarity.
- If you or family members have been sick, stressed or in conflict, use space clearing incense to lighten the vibration of your home.
- Consider remodeling or redesignate the function of a room to meet your needs for expanding space.
My Recent Remodel Project

BEFORE |
|
AFTER |
I recently remodeled the small bathroom of my 1920’s bungalow. Located in the “relationship and fame sectors” of the bagua map of my home, the remodel was long overdue, and, being the one and only bathroom in my home, its time had come. The Feng Shui issue was the door didn’t completely open which resulted in feeling constricted upon entering. The solution: A complete bathroom remodel.
Assisting my friend Jack (who did the majority of the physical labor), his sledge hammer shattered the 300 pound cast iron bathtub, too heavy and too big to get out the door in one piece. Out it went and now, with the newfound freedom of an open door, everything except the pedestal sink found a new configuration to maximize and open the space.
As I reflect on the process and my Feng Shui results, I definitely feel more expanded at the start of each day and I’ve entered into a wonderful new relationship. My only regret? I could have opened the door sooner…but then again, all things come in perfect timing. (And now that the bathroom is complete, I’m thinking of a bigger expansion as I design a second story addition to my house!) |
Whether you embark on big or small shifts in your home or life, it’s important to remember that every shift counts. It just takes action!
If you seek inspiration to bring your home and yourself into greater joy and flow, feel free to give me a call. I welcome the opportunity to assist you!

~ "Mountain" Energy in your Garden ~
In classical Feng Shui, the positioning of your home in relationship to the landscape is of great importance. Ideally, your home should be located with a "mountain" of support in the backyard. Mountains are created by an upward elevation of land, tall trees, fencing, or even a neighboring home or building. If your land slopes down or has no support, consider planting tall evergreen trees at the back of your property or building a tall fence (low fences are ideal for the front of your home.) Your immediate surroundings impact the energy of your home so pay attention to your gardens this spring!
That's "Good Chi". . . and a tip for creating more support in your life! |
