This is why I have been a little quiet

The beginning of the year is usually the busiest for me in my Feng Shui practice.

Before each new Chinese calendar year, I issue my list of recommended sectors to avoid or enhance in your home. It is when my clients are the most motivated. They have their resolutions for New Year, and they want to implement changes immediately.

So, in January and February, I consult several times a week. Then spring comes, and people have renewed energy and clean, or they put their house on the market, and more happens then, and then my activity slows down for a couple months and picks up again in the summer, when people’s projects abound. More time is spent around the house. People take note of what’s not working for them at their home.

And then as fall comes, Feng Shui consultations generally tend to slow down again, until it’s a new year again.

I’ve been on this flow of Feng Shui for at least 6 years, doing in full time. And I have loved it! But this year, I have decided to move from Paris to the South East of the USA, and explore a different life, closer to nature. So, I have not been on the same cycle this year. I have not been able to take on as many clients as in the past. I have slowed down on writing newsletters.

I incorporated another side of myself – my love of nature, and water in particular – into my professional life. I am now working part time for a non-profit that preserves the waters, the Mobile Bay, so that people can enjoy swimming and eating fish as they should. Unfortunately, fighting for the right for clean waters is a very difficult battle.

Feng Shui (“Wind Water”) has (obviously) a very strong tie to the Water element, which is believed to either “make you “or “break” you. Water in the wrong place or dirty water can be detrimental to health. Clean water in the right place can be the jewel of your home or your neighborhood or your whole region. A pool or pond in the right place is the guarantee of prosperity, longevity and happiness. This is why handling the water element should always be under a Feng Shui professional’s advice, when it comes to your home. Deciding where to put a pool, a bird bath or a water fountain is well worth the price of a Feng Shui consultation, as the effects (positive or negative) will reverberate tenfold or more.

Now that I am settled here, I have the time for Feng Shui consultations again. Feel free to email me and book a time.

But don’t leave this page before you sign the pledge to be litter-free! Waters need you, even if you don’t live here! Our waters are shared and that is the beauty of it!

My cure spilled accidentally / My cure is overflowing

Hey there…

So your cure spilled?

Pets, children, other household members (and even us) might have knocked over our precious salt water cure. Clearly, it’s not ideal, as the whole purpose of the salt water cure is to attract and trap the negative energy present in our homes into a contained space.

What you should do if your salt water cure accidentally got knocked over?

You should wash the area where it spilled thoroughly with latex gloves on if possible. Toss the cure. When tossing the cure, best to place it in a plastic bag, toss your gloves and seal the bag right away. Then put it in the outdoor trash. Afterwards, wash your hands thoroughly.

You can then smudge with open windows and reset intentions. Here is a video that explains how to smudge.

After airing out the room, you can proceed to making a new salt water cure.

Another example of a spillage that can occur if the cure is hyperactive (meaning that it’s probably working hard to remove any the negative energies in your home). Here is an example below:

Overactive salt water cure

You proceed the same way as if the cure spilled: wash, toss, air out (smudge if possible) and make a new one.

We are soon to celebrate the Metal Ox year starting on Feb 12, 2021. So if you need to renew your cure or prepare one for the first time, now might be the time to think about buying what you will need!

• a glass container that you won’t mind throwing away

• a plastic plate for accidental spills / overflow (better than the cardboard pictured)

• 6 Chinese coins

• coarse salt (I like Himalayan salt)

And you’re good to go!

Looking forward to sending my yearly updates in the coming weeks.

Please let me know how things go with your cure!

Many blessings,

Marianne
