Tips When Selecting Your Shui Consultant
The problem may occur though when having to actually choose a consultant of this chinese philosophy . So many options are available in today's culture that finding just the right fit may be a tougher choice than originally thought.
The first thing to do when choosing a good feng shui consultant is to research. This is not something to take lightly. Just as a person would not want a second rate plumber, they would not want to invest in a second rate one.
In order to become familiar with the field of feng shui, one should start their research either in the library or the internet. After that an individual should clarify their expectations of what is needed from such a consultant.
Then, a look at the various schools can be helpful in finding a good feng shui guide. Feng shui has several schools with talented practitioners in each one of them, and it is helpful for an individual to know or ask about the basic differences between schools and choose the one that is preferred over the others.
If a person has gone thru all of these steps in order to find such a consultant and still has no luck, perhaps word of mouth may be the solution. Asking friends and family for references can be a great way to find the perfect one. If one has had a feng shui consultation, find out all the details such as how they work, fees, etc.
Most likely a good consultant of this chinese philosophy will have a website, pamphlet, or other material that can answer all the questions that a person may have.
If this is still not enough information, asking for references from the consultant is never a bad thing and the consultant should not be offended by the question.
When that perfect consultant of this chinese philosophy is found, life can be that much easier.
By doing through research, checking references, and making sure that clear expectations are set, a person can be assured that their lives in all aspects will be on the road to achieving as much harmony and balance that feng shui can offer.
The feng shui journey can be paved with gold if one has the right guide to accompany them.

A Better Front Door With Feng Shui: Training, Taming Energy Flow
To learn how to slow down, focus, and guide energy, you may consider checking out a few feng shui classes in your area, whether you are interested in feng shui certification or just the information. You’ll learn that strategically placed items can help you work with the small foyer space that you have to keep energy on the ground floor when it comes in the entrance. A large vase with flowers or a houseplant, art, a piece of furniture, or a mirror can accomplish this purpose, although if you do decide to use a mirror it shouldn’t face the entrance directly, as this will push energy away and out of the home instead of into the home.
A main entrance with a small foyer and a staircase facing the door is only one of the architectural designs that could benefit from a consultation from a professional with feng shui training. Feng shui cures are often specific to an individual space and its needs, so a feng shui consultant will be able to improve the flow of chi in your home and will have the knowledge to use more advanced aspects of feng shui. Determining the bagua (feng shui energy map) of your home, for example, will produce a host of feng shui cures like painting the walls certain colors and other tactics that will support the five elements of feng shui.
A front door with good feng shui can have a remarkable effect on your health, success, and relationships by providing you and your family with nourishing energy that sustains every aspect of your life.

Your Kitchen, Your Health and Feng Shui
Feng Shui Color
In my articles, I often discuss the important role color plays in the Feng Shui thought process. This concept is also important in the kitchen where some colors are not only aesthetically pleasing but, believe it or not, can improve the home owner’s digestive cycle. Proper digestion is considered one of the basic tenants which helps determine a person’s ability to live a long and healthy life. Our knowledge of Feng Shui colors is a useful tool which can be used to help support this goal.
So, what are these magical Feng Shui colors? The most auspicious colors you can paint your kitchen, in the order of importance, are:
This stimulates digestion in the intestinal tract.
Is a soothing or healing balm for the nervous system.
Is a relaxing color that promotes calmness and inner peace.
These colors have various effects on the brain and its many functions due to the way the brain is stimulated through the visual cortex. Whether you are stimulated by yellow or sedated by greens and blues, Feng Shui colors have a profound effect on our everyday health.
Please keep in mind; you do not have to choose a bright color for it to have a positive effect on your digestive tract. Various hues of yellow, green or blue will still have a beneficial Feng Shui effect.
Feng Shui Cookware and Appliances
Proper Feng Shui cookware is also a critical element in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. It is best not to have metal cookware. However, many western societies prefer to use stainless steel or aluminum pots and pans. Unfortunately, scientific data supports the belief that exposure to aluminum may have negative effects on the human nervous system and potential links to Alzheimer's disease. If not metal, what is the proper Feng Shui choice for cookware?
You will notice many fine restaurants use copper base pot and pans. Professional cooks prefer copper because the heat conducts more rapidly and it is easier to control. Copper is the choice of Feng Shui practitioners because it does not have the toxicity of aluminum and it is a magnet for positive Qi. Some people prefer to use glass cookware. Although glass cookware eliminates the toxicity issues, it will not create good Feng Shui Qi for you or your kitchen
If it is practical, try to choose a gas range for your kitchen. A live flame not only allows you to cook more precisely, but the flame represents the Feng Shui element of Fire. Fire has played an important role in human development and it represents expansion. Using fire will symbolize growth in your own life and as a result you will become more open to change and opportunity.
Feng Shui Kitchen Layout
The layout of your kitchen is also vitally important. So, if at all feasible, try to keep in mind the following Feng Shui principles and scenarios:
1. Never turn your back on the entrance to the kitchen!
While you are cooking, you should never have your back face the entrance of your kitchen. This is due to the fact that Qi will come through the doorway and attack you from behind. Whether in the kitchen, or any other room, we should always attempt to face the oncoming Qi.
Feng Shui Cure
The best Feng Shui cure for this particular affliction is to hang a faceted crystal above the stove or in the center of your kitchen’s ceiling. The crystal will help distribute the Qi more evenly throughout your cooking environment.
2. You should never be able to see the bathroom from the kitchen!
The position of the bathroom in relationship to your kitchen is critically important. The bathroom is a place where much of the health Qi can potentially be "flushed" down the toilet. If you can see the commode from the kitchen, when the bathroom door is open, then you will need to immediately institute the following cures.
Feng Shui Cure #1
Place a small dish or shot glass on the commode and fill it with raw white rice. The rice will prevent the Qi, or more importantly, the health aspect of your Qi from being literally flushed down the toilet. Rice is grown in a paddy field and its semi-aquatic nature will symbolically deflect the Qi away from the commode and up towards the wall and ceiling.
Qi will get flushed away every time someone forgets to put down the lid before flushing. Yes, men are notorious for this particular Feng Shui disaster in the making! So make sure to take time for a refresher course on bathroom etiquette.
Feng Shui Cure #2
Keep the bathroom door shut at all times, and keep the drain of the sink open only when in use. A closed bathroom door will keep the Qi from entering room and the closed drain will keep it from escaping through the sink.
Even though the kitchen is probably one of the most popular rooms in the house, we often forget the role it plays in our Feng Shui life. If you implement our understanding of Feng Shui color, cookware and layout with respect to your kitchen, you will see a marked improvement in your health. Of course this should not be used as a justification for eating poorly and avoiding exercise.

Earth, Metal and Fire and Feng Shui?
Ideal System
The ideal system is where water produces wood, wood yields fire, and fire fashions the earth. Then, the earth forms the metal and the metal consequently produces the water. The overbearing and ugly system is when the elements contradict each other: wood burdens earth, fire destroys metal, earth hampers water, or water kills the fire. If you are able to see the visual properties of these elements, you may find that these arrangements prescribed by Feng Shui also make practical sense, even if you do not necessarily dig the concepts and foundations of Feng Shui.
Earth
You don’t have to be a geologist to understand good Feng Shui for earth. Earth is generally composed of ceramics and rocks. If you want a happy home, you must have a good dose of rocks and ceramics strategically placed in tune with the other elements that are present in your home. Lacking in earth, you may find yourself filled with instability and resilience that the earth is generally known for.
Metal
Electronic devices can actually have good feng shui as well. They are under the metal category, which not just brings in the technological advancements of this age but also the toughness brought about by metal materials in the different elements of Feng Shui. Make sure that metal is not colliding with fire elements, and this may even hold a practical significance because you wouldn’t want any of your electronic devices to catch fire!
Water
Zen fountains and the like form the water aspect of Feng Shui. Just ensure that water complements your metal. Overpowering your home with electronic appliances may actually appeal to the gadget junkie but not to the Feng Shui aficionado. Aside from the fact that water balances metal, you may also find that it has visual appeal if a person finds a Zen fountain in the midst of a sea of gadgets in the home which may be cool in function but not in appearance.
Fire
Candles and fireplaces are good examples of fire elements in Feng Shui. It may appear weird to put a fountain beside a fireplace for it contradicts that purpose, but many a movie had background sets with a fireplace and wooden furniture that is well ideal for a night of romance. Too much fire can actually drown the environment, so be very careful when lighting your environment. In business settings, it may also be advisable to tame down the effects of fire in the office. But it can be more unleashed in the personal setting, especially in romantic ones.
Wood
Wood is abundant in many places. Wooden furniture remain to be vintage to the Feng Shui expert. And this does not have to be only in the form of wooden furniture. Just by cultivating a garden in your home, you will be able to bring in a lot of wood that can help you balance the different elements.
