Clear your Clutter!

2012-02-01T14:10:00.000-08:00

Clutter is a big issue in our lives today. It seems that we can't get enough of our stuff!
From a Feng Shui perspective this can cause many problems. For example let's say that you are looking for love or a serious relationship but you have tons of clutter in the South West (marriage and love sector) of your home. This means that the energy will be blocked and the flow will be broken. This may translate into an inability to establish a relationship with someone or even meet someone. Remove the clutter and you will free up the energy and the flow will be re-established increasing your chances of finding someone.

That is just one way that clutter can cause you problems there are many others!

I have spent a lot of time in the recent weeks helping people free themselves from their clutter and I have received a lot of very positive feedback. A week ago I helped out my friend Yasmin who was moving into her new home and she blogged about her experience with me. See Yasmin's blog post here .

There is also a wonderful book called "Clear your Clutter with Feng Shui" by Karen Kingston which I highly recommend. Inside this book you will find her clutter test. It is quite easy to do. You simply estimate the amount of clutter per room and then divide the total by the amount of rooms like this:

Entry 5%

Living room 10%

Kitchen 15%

Bathroom 15%

Dining room 0%

Bedroom 1 20%

Bedroom 2 15%

Bedroom 3 25% (kid's room)

Basement 40%

Total 145% divided by 9 rooms = 16% of your mortgage or rent is being used to house your clutter!

You should also keep in mind that the above example is not the usual. Most people have quite a bit more clutter than that!! So now I suggest you do your own clutter test and see what you come up with!!

Happy de-cluttering!!

Xuan Kong Feng Shui

This is an advancedsystem of Feng shui and only the students who have completed levels 1 and 2 may apply.

This class teachesyou how to interpret what we call a Flying Star Chart. This chart is obtainedvia the facing degree and the year of construction of the site. The Flying StarChart is comprised of nine sectors that contain 3 numbers that form combinations of energy that can bring upon certain circumstances in your life. There is also an annual number that has an influence on the chart. The analysis of all these numbers and their impact on the inhabitants is the study called Xuan Kong Feng Shui.

The cost for this class is $600.00 and it is given over 4 days. The first 2 days cover the theoretical part and are done together. The following 2 days are done at a later date when the students have completed at least three case studies each. I usually like to assign students a study buddy in order for them to better understand the content.

What is Feng Shui

2011-12-01T12:27:00.001-08:00

Why are we comfortable in one house and not in another? Why do certain colors attract us whereas others repel us? Why do we sleep better in one direction vs. another? These are all questions that have been asked over and over again throughout the years and which are finally being answered through the art of Feng Shui.

Feng shui is often definedas the ancient Chinese art of placement but this is a very simple definition ofa system that is both complex and rewarding for those who practice it. Fengshui is more aptly defined as the environmental study of a particular location.

Feng Shui literally means wind and water. In ancient China a site was considered auspicious if it was protected from the winds and could amass the positive energy (sheng chi) of the water. Being a largely agricultural society a well chosen site was of the utmost importance.

Feng Shui is also referred to quite frequently with regards to the placement of the dead. An auspicious burial site was thought to bring prosperity to the person's descendants.

Feng Shui has evolved throughout the years and is now applied to houses and offices. With Feng Shui we are able to create magnificent environments using light, texture, color, and nature in order to achieve health, happiness and harmony for those who live and work there. With the proper distribution of the five elements, water, wood, fire, earth and metal, you may increase your health, your wealth, your career and even your love life.

About Me

2011-12-01T11:50:00.001-08:00

Hi, my name is Tracey MacKenzie and I first started learning about Feng Shui 17 years ago. I have been a practicing consultant, teacher and lecturer since 1999.

Having spent time in Hawaii as a child, I learned at a young age how nature played a big part in my overall well-being. As an adult I studied Fashion design, dabbled in Art and then delved into the world of Interior Design and Decor. In my desire to create peaceful environments using color and texture Feng Shui was a natural study progression. Through the teachings of Master Joseph Yu and many others I learned about energy distribution and how to analyse and improve any environment using simple techniques.

Inspired by theevents of the last few years, I have expanded my work into the field ofNeuroscience for design which studies a person’s neurological and physiologicalreactions to any given space. This is especially helpful in treating people whoare sick, in rehabilitation or who have diseases such as Alzheimer’s andDementia.

I have given conferences in Montreal, Quebec, Ontario and Bermuda and my work has been showcased on many different television shows including Citymag, Take One, Salut Beauté, C'est simple comme bonjour, Feng Shui Life and the HGTV show called Buy Me.

My work has also been portrayed in many different publications such as Wall to Wall Magazine, Montreal Home Magazine and in various newspaper articles. You may access a couple of these articles by clicking on the links below.

I believe that having a well balanced home enables you to have a well balanced life and I extend the invitation to all of you to learn more about this ancient art.
