Feng Shui for Obama's Oval Office

 

If I was Obama's Feng Shui consultant...

The first task is to clear out all of the old "predacessor chi" from the entire White House paying special attention to the Oval Office.  A Feng Shui Blessing Ceremony using ingredients such as dried mandarin peels (chen pi), fresh oranges, cinnabar, Tibetan singing bowls, sandalwood incense and white rice would clear out the negative chi and bring in fresh, renewed auspicious energy.

Next, let's move his desk into the Command Position by putting him in a new (no predacessor chi, again!) high-backed chair for his new desk; placing his back on a solid wall by moving the desk away from the window and placing it on the wall on the left-hand side.

Also, let's block off three of the four (!) doors coming into the office leaving the upper right hand door working and turning that into the "Mouth of Chi" so his desk is now in the power position.  Too many doors in a room cause erratic energy and disapate the life-force.

This now places the entry into the Oval Office in the Helpful People area so everyone who enters can now become a Benefactor to him.  I would place a brass shop-keeper's bell on the inside of the door so it keeps activating the Helpful People energies everytime the door opens.

Now we need to add life-force to the room with some color (golds, yellows, oranges); lots of healthy green plants and trees; and a water feature in the Prosperity Corner of his office.

He should also surround himself with art, imagery and symbols of his campaign mission so that everytime he looks up from his desk, he is seeing his future made manifest.

Lastly--and most importantly--I'd have him do Secret Transcendental Feng Shui Cures to support and increase his vitality, protection and safety, benefactors, prosperity, clarity, strength and wisdom.

 

International Human Rights Day--Feng Shui Our World

 

Happy Human Rights Day!

In the spirit of doing "One Good Deed" (one of the ways that Feng Shui encourages the lovingactions to increase your chi and help change your "Man Luck"--plus it just makes your heart feel so dang good)...

please watch this incredibly beautiful and inspiring music video by Amnesty with international artists (some whom have fled repressive regimes); sign the treaty; and make a donation, if you can.  It's called "The Price of Silence".

May all beings be deeply happy.

May all beings be free from fear.

May all beings have human rights and dignity.

Presidential Feng Shui: Part 3

 

Lastly, we're going to look at the two candidates from the perspective of Feng Shui's Four Pillars Astrology as told by Yasha Jampolsky (www.fourpillarshoroscope.com).

[John McCain] "This chart reveals a man who has great leadership and executive ability.  He is especially good at problem solving.  Many of the aspects of this chart are also found in the charts of leaders of industry and CEO's of large corporations.  This is also a man who is very adept at persuading people through emotions.  He is at his best when he has a cause to rally people around.

He is a man who never reveals what he is really thinking or feeling.  He can be quick to anger and can explode without warning often surprising the individual who has become the target of his anger.  He has a war-like nature and views accumulation of power as the best approach to many situations.

He tends to choose strong, attractive and very capable women as partners.  He is always happy to put his marriage on display as a reflection of his success.

The chart reveals a man who is more interested in the rewards that life can bring rather than in being of service.  The chart also reveals him to be an exceedingly self-focused individual who is certain that his way of doing things is best.

[Barack Obama] This chart reveals a man whose life is about his work.  He is someone who succeeds through consistent effort and a willingness to compensate for any of his shortcomings by doing the work required.  Success also results from his ability to focus intensely on the task at hand.  He may feel conflicted between his responsibilities to his work and his responsibilities to his family at times.  This can cause him to appear indecisive.  Ultimately he is able to recognize what nedes to be done and he will do it.

He has a very active inner process that is constantly working on current tasks; possibly even while asleep.  Although he may be slow and deliberatine in his actions, he has an extremely quick and active mind.  He is more interested in getting the work done right than in being praised for his succeses.

He prefers a supportive partner for a spouse and would rather keep this entire part of his life out of the public arena.

He has little interest in wealth for its own sake.  Money and other rewards come to him almost in spite of himself and usually as a result of effort and work.  He tends to make positive contributions in most situations that he is involved with."

I hope you've enjoyed these three Feng Shui perspectives and that you will join me in voting for Barack Obama in Tuesday's elections!!!

Presidential Feng Shui: Part 2

 

Now we're going to look at the presidential candidates' Chinese Zodiac Animals from an interview with Kathryn Weber (www.redlotusletter.com).  McCain is a Rat and Obama is an Ox.  The Year of the Rat ends in January and makes way for the Year of the Ox in 2009, believe it or not!

"Watching Obama in the debates showed his Ox qualities of being unflappable and steady," Weber explains.  An Ox is associated with the earth element and is know for being dependable, calm, methodical and resolute and their negative qualities make them stubbortn, materialistic, rigid and demanding.

According to Weber, McCain's Rat energy would keep him from being effective in the Oval Office because the 2009 energy is earth and earth dams water.  It would be a "dammed" presidency from the start," she quips.  Even so, Rats are industrious and opportunity-driven and have great qualities for business, but with next year's energy, the Rat energy isn't harmonious because water added to earth makes mud.

Obama, on the other hand, has earth qualities that will create a harmonious start with the earth energy of next year, and Weber explains, that next year has a double earth energy making the steady apporach of the next president important in order to settle down the "rollercoaster we've been on" and take care of important things like America's standing in the world and investing in American infrastructure.  "You could look at it as McCains' Year of the Rat is almost over, but Obama's Year of the Ox is the future. 

Speaking purely to the Feng Shui of time and energy, Feng Shui supports Obama over McCain."

Presidential Feng Shui: Part 1

 

I've been receiving some wonderful emails from Feng Shui consultants with interesting perspectives on the presidential candidates and I wanted to share! 

Today is Part One: Chinese Face Reading.  This is an excerpt from an interview with Jean Haner (www.wisdomofyourface.com) who said...

[on Barack Obama] "His temples are slightly indented, which indicates that he may be compulsive about work, and needs regular exercise to de-stress.  But it also shows he is highly disciplined, and that spirituality plays an important part in his life.  His eyebrows show his tremendous drive and the ability to take on the difficult work...His lower eyelids indicate genuine care of other people.  A mole near his nose indicates that this is a man with a special purpose in the world."

[on John McCain] "The most important feature on his face is his very heavy prominent jaw.  But his jaw is not the strong, well-defined jaw that reflects good 'roots of the tree'--the stong belief system.  His jaw is quite massive and full.  This shows firm values and beliefs, but more than that, it reveals someone who holds huge potential for anger and control.  This feature, combined with his somewhat narrowed deep-set eyes show he is not so comfortable expressing his emotions, and he will need to suppress his feelings until he explodes into anger or upset."

Watch for Part 2 when you'll hear about the candidates' Chinese Zodiac animals...

Feng Shui at the Olympics

 

The Opening Ceremony of the Beijing Olympics was not only an extraordinary display of wonder and beauty, but also a living tableaux of Feng Shui principles in action.  Starting at a time steeped in Feng Shui numerology and symbology of 8:08 on the date of 8/8, there unfolded the dancing Five Elements (water, wood, fire, metal and earth); the display of Wind and Water, and the interplay of Yin and Yang.  You can order the ceremony at NBC.

Chinese Feng Shui master Huang Dao recently revealed on television that he'd personally chosen the locations and colors for the Bird's Nest, Water Cube and basketball gymnasim but he's not allowed to call himself a Feng Shui master--the Chinese authorities insist on calling them "traditional artistic consultants". 

Feng Shui masters were not allowed to practice during the Cultural Revolution and to this day, it is well known that the Chinese authorities still consult  Feng Shui practitioners--but only secretly.
