Modality: Feng Shui

By: Mia Staysko Tuesday, Apr 03, 2012

Spring is the time of the year represented by the trigram Zhen or ‘Thunder’. It is a time of growth, emergence from the slow, contracted space of winter. It is unpredictable. One day sunny and warm, the next day winter can be back upon us in a flash. For many, spring can be a time of fluctuating personal chi, which reflects the instability of the outdoors. This is particularly true for those of us who live a little farther North where spring can sometimes take it’s own sweet time to arrive fully. One way to combat the instability, raise ones personal chi, and bring a little ... Read More

Matters of the Heart

By: Mia Staysko Saturday, Feb 11, 2012

Conditions: Heart health

February is Heart and Stroke Month as well as the month in which we observe Valentine's Day. At this time of the year we draw our attention to matters of the heart, and in Chinese 5 Elemental theory the heart is associated with the element of Fire. Each of the 5 Elements; Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water, have a variety of aspects associated with them. The 5 elements can be used to describe the quality of seasons, colors, shapes, organs, emotions and personality traits. Virtually everything can be described by one of the elements, and since you are a microcosm of all that is, you have a ... Read More

Feng Shui - An Introduction

By: VitalityLink Finder Friday, Feb 03, 2012

Conditions: self development, enhancing relationships

Good Feng Shui is to live in harmony with your environment, and by doing so, it promotes success in life, health, wealth and happiness. 'The best way to predict the future … is to create it.' If you keep doing what you've always done, you will keep getting what you've always gotten. Something has to change, and with Feng Shui, you have the opportunity to begin to relate to the outer world simply as if it were a reflection of your inner psyche. Your space reveals much more about you than you might like to think! This system is not just about how to rearrange your furniture, but tells ... Read More

The Year of the Dragon

By: Mia Staysko Wednesday, Jan 25, 2012

The Lunar Chinese New Year festivities have begun and we are welcoming The year of the Dragon. A Dragon year one in which there is great possibility. We have the opportunity to do more perhaps than we could have ever imagined. The Chinese proverb "Better to do it than to miss it" describes this coming year and we are called to take bold and decisive action. Dragons are quick so don't take too much time or you may miss amazing opportunities. It is important to remember that great change usually requires some sort of catalyst. In this yang water year there may also be tremendous upheaval. This ... Read More

New Years Resonations

By: Mia Staysko Wednesday, Jan 04, 2012

I don't really make New Year's resolutions, partly because I don't like the word resolution. Resolution implies that something is wrong, that something about my life must be fixed, a problem must be resolved. Is this really the thought that I want to begin a new year with? Another message that my life is imperfect? I think not.   I much prefer to make intentions, affirmations, or 'Lists of (Future) Gratitudes'. Since participating in a monthly new moon astrology group I have determined the time of the year which is most appropriate for me to do this according to my own ... Read More

Feng Shui Makes Your House a Home

By: VitalityLink Finder Monday, Dec 26, 2011

What makes a house a home? The answer doesn't lie in something we don't have, or in something we can buy. The feeling of being at home can't be bought. It comes from an intimate relationship between ourselves, and our most personal places, our homes. Our homes shape us just as we shape them. When we lavish our time and creativity on our homes, what they give us in return are comfort, inspiration and beauty. A home that is filled with comfort, balance and harmony is a home that resonates strongly with the energy of those living in it. It is a home that has become 'part of the family'. How can ...

Topic: Nutrition and Healthy Eating

“Please, let me finish my hamburger and French fries! I have no time to waste, my next appointment for a Feng Shui adjustment is just after my lunch. I am already stressed, I do not want to think about my food!” my friend was adamant. “Wrong!” I replied calmly. “Why wrong?” he said quite surprised. “Because” I retorted, “you follow the wrong way of life”. “Wrong way of life? Nowadays everyone is under stress and rushing after money.” He was now intrigued. “This is your perception.” My friend was silent, eyes ... Read More

A Little Altar-Ed Reality

By: Mia Staysko Tuesday, Nov 15, 2011

 For some people the idea of setting up a home altar seems a little 'out there'. Conjuring up images of weirdness, they cannot see how the word 'altar' fits into their world.   In reality we subconsciously set up altars all over our homes. Nearly everyone has compiled small collections of items of meaning and placed them in prominent places in their environments. The classic fireplace mantle collection is a good example. An assortment of family photos and a few mementos of last years vacation is an altar honoring our connection to family. It serves as a reminder to us of the ... Read More
