Most of us want a solid, happy, and motivating career. We also want  a career that is stable both physically and financially. If you need help finding a job, getting a promotion, or you need more business the art of feng shui can help. Let’s talk about a few step we can take to make that happen!

You must first get a familiar understand of the bagua. The bagua is used in feng shui to find out which part of your home or office correlates with a particular situation in your life.

What ever side of your home has the main door on it, is where you will lay the side of the bagua with career, helpful people, and knowledge over.

1. If you have fireplace in the Fame area of your house, use it often and see your good reputation expand. You can also use candles, string of lights, or add stronger bulbs in your feng shui Fame area. Make sure there is no water in this area of your home. This will insure that you don’t encounter any bad reputations.

2. Place a bell or a chime in the Help People area, or around your front door. If you are hanging it make sure you hang it on red string cut into segments of 9. (Example, 9 inches, 18 inches, 27 inches, etc.). Bells and chimes help to break up stagnant energy to get it moving. This is what you want to bring in some good chi.

3. If you can place your desk both at home and in the house in the commanding position. When in this position, you face the door from the far side of the room but are not directly in front of the it. The part of the room diagonally farthest from the entry offers is offend the best Command Position. Also, the right Commanding Position provides a solid wall behind you for support. If you can’t see the door from where you work this implies that life can sneak up on you, that you tend not to face issues directly, and that you are constantly dealing with unexpected events.

4. The Career area of your home is also a good place to put a water feature that circulates waters all around. This helps keep your career and career path from getting stagnant or in a rut. You can also place pictures of water if you don’t have space for a fountain.

I took it upon my self to try a fun experiment to the test. For 15 days I tried four different colors; yellow, red, green, and purple.

Yellow was the first color that I used. Believe it or not the yellow actually made me feel more stimulated and excited. It was a brighter shade of yellow. I also found myself up more often with the yellow sheets then the other colors. The second color was a light green. These sheets made me feel very secure in my bed. I didn’t feel over stimulated and I slept just fine through the night. In my opinion I feel that green is a very soothing color that is perfect for bedroom and night time us. The last one I used was red. I wanted to us this color more for the intimacy that it is suppose to create when used. I have to say red is a very powerful. I feel even more secure in red. It did make me feel more passionate, and it might have help with my romance a little bit more then the other colors the five days I used it. Overall, I slept the best in red. I found myself falling a sleep very fast, and sleeping the longest hours. Very interesting.

The purple I used was in my son’s bed. This color is one of my favorites. I don’t have purple sheets for my bed yet, but I do have them for him. Purple is by far one of the best sheets and blankets to use when you are sick. Purple is very healing in its vibration, and does wonders for feeling nurtured. During this time my son came down with an ear infection. We put purple sheets on his bed and within a day of long sleep and rest he was feeling great!

So the next time you are out shopping for new sheets think about what color you might need. Usually the color that we are drawn to the most is the color that we probably would benefit the most from.

Happy sleep!
