Minnie Kansman began her feng shui consultation business- Eco~Balance Humanity in Harmony with Nature - in 1994. She has studied with the world's foremost feng shui master, Professor Thomas Lin Yun, and acclaimed authors and teachers, Denise Linn, Karen Kingston, and Carol Markus- Hyder.
Her new book, "Spirit Gardens: Rekindling Our Nature Connection", is available online at her website: www.minniekansman.com and locally at Schulers. Here are her top nine feng shui tips you can use today!
1) Pay attention to your front entrance, if you don't use it...start. Attract Chi (good energy) here with wind chimes, plants, lighting, and color.
2) Clear clutter in the space so the good energy can flow smoothly once it has entered your space.
3) Keep all doorways free from blockages - they could represent blocked opportunities for you!
4) Use mirrors (without divisions) to enlarge spaces and lighten up dark and stagnant areas.
5) Place something uplifting to you in every corner of the room (i.e. plants, lighting, art, furniture)
6) Position your bed so you can see the entrance to the room and are not in a direct line with the door.
7) Have or create a headboard on your bed for strength and support while you sleep.
8) Place your work desk with a solid wall behind you for support, and a view of the entrance.
9) Add round shapes (for example, mirrors, wreaths, rugs, tables) to create better communication and more harmony in the space.
