Feng Shui For Your Auto - Do You Have Good Carma?

As we all try and pack in as many memories of fun in sun as we can before the end of summer, we swiftly tour to and fro, cris-crossing over our city, state or country. Even as gas prices remain at historic highs, we still have a love affair with our cars. The free time they report (even if we only tour 10 miles to and from our jobs!), the image they scheme (Corvettes and mid-life crisis, need I say more?) and the fact that they get us from Point A to Point B in a timely manner just adds to the overwhelming association we have with our cars. And, as life imitates the art of this column and I'm car shopping (!) we will seek how Feng Shui can help you pick the exquisite car!

Diamonds Ring Enhancers

***When seeing at purchasing a new vehicle-how does it make you feel? If you hate the color, the fact that it's a sedan or whatever, you will at once hate driving the car. Not good vigor or Feng Shui. ***

Now it should be stated that the following tips are for All vehicles-yes, even golf carts! (This is an actual scheme presented to me by my mother to help enhance her golf game And for the golf cart parade (I know) in her condo community-stay tuned). Not only can Feng Shui safe you and your loved ones from harm's way, you can also augment your comprehensive luck and safe bet energy. By considering your vehicle as an environment that can sway your mood, you can use Feng Shui as well to help make driving more pleasant and safer activity.

Do you get tired as soon as you hit the road? Try tying a red tassel with bells attached to help ease the sudden fatigue. Remember, Red is a Fire color and represents operation and yang energy. The ringing of the bells will also help keep you focused and alert. The tinkling of bells and chimes also helps to ward off negative energy. I have a small Fairy chime attached to the rearview mirror in my car-when I get "perturbed" on the road or am seeing for the exquisite parking space-I ring the chimes. Stupid, I know, but it makes me laugh (and the other occupant's in the car as well) at the silliness, which in turn raises the safe bet vigor in the car.

Too much clutter? Too many stops at McDonald's and Starbucks, with the evidence thrown in the back seat? Sporting tool strewn throughout the backseat and trunk? Does the front passenger seat look like a remote office space with your Blackberry, iPod and files strewn about? Have stuffed animals taken over the back shelf so that seeing out of the rear window is a distant memory? While clutter will be discussed in later columns, in Feng Shui terms, clutter is the corporal manifestation of our emotional baggage. When your vehicle (or home/desk/office) is full of empty fast food bags, overflowing ashtrays and empty water bottles, you are showing to the world that you don't care about how you are seen or what image you present. You may also subconsciously feel that you are not worthy or safe bet (i.e. Feeling like garbage).

While many of us tour for work and don't have a vehicle devoted to work only, it is imperative that you do your best to separate your personal from your job. Keep files in a binder or tote, that way all things is kept in one place. I do see the need for the iPod (!) so that can slide. The Blackberry or other cell phone should not be viewed as an appendage while you are driving! use blue-tooth technology or the choice of phone assistance through OnStar if you Must be on the phone while you are driving for security issues.

***You should Never be texting, Iming or checking emails While You Are Driving for security reasons. ***

On a monthly basis, you should do a proper cleaning of your car. This means vacuuming, wiping down/cleaning the dash and seats (especially if you have leather-make sure to health it! This is a must if you drive a convertible). Get rid of all the garbage that has accumulated in the backseat, empty ashtrays and establish what must stay in the car. My mother's car looked like a sporting goods store/closet before we bought her a golf organizer! Shoes, golf tees, golf shirts, socks...you name it-plus the clubs in the trunk not leaving room for whatever else-were all over the place. This with all of her coupons stuffed in a cup holder, sunglasses in the other made her car a total mess. The golf organizer was overwhelming as all of her clothes, tees and other accessories were now put into one place, not strewn about, and fit into the trunk with the clubs. Thusly, freeing up the backseat. I have yet to get her to "free up" the cup holders-although she does not have the venti latte addiction I have, so this isn't that prominent to her-but I'm still working on her. Washing the windows in your car is also a must for safety-it's all the time good to see where you're going, especially at night or in inclement weather! But from a Feng Shui perspective, clean glass/windows symbolizes Clear sight towards the future and/or goals, as well as natural light being able to enter your space bringing in safe bet energy.

***Make a point of cleaning your windows with every gas fill-up! Windows are determined the "eyes" of the car/house/office; therefore they should be kept clean to see clearly! ***

A great smelling car also makes the journey go smoother. Hopefully after you do a proper cleaning you should have no smell, but by using aromatherapy you can help manipulate emotions while you drive. Have a long journey ahead of you? Use peppermint to help energize you. Want to be more relaxed and less anxious on your daily commute? Use orange to help de-stress. There are a range of car diffusers out there-some plug into the cigarette lighter, some are merely terra cotta shapes that can be hung on the rearview mirror or placed in an unused cup owner (again with the empty cup holder!). I have a small terra cotta heart, which hangs with the fairy chime, from my rearview mirror. I have a combine of distinct scents I use depending on my mood. These terra cotta diffusers are great in warm weather/climates, as the sun shines into the car it helps to diffuse the oil/scent throughout the car! I love this.

Many of you have heard of hanging crystals in your car as well to help bring in safe bet energy. Crystals can also help to break up and disperse stagnant energy. (Remember to keep your crystals clean!). This is also a great idea-However-do not hang a crystal larger than 10mm from your rearview mirror. whatever larger looks like a big disco ball hanging there, swaying back and forth causing the drivers around you to go blind when the sun hits it. Needless to say, that is not good Feng Shui!

***When purchasing crystals for your car or elsewhere in your space, only buy real crystal spheres, points...whatever shape. Glass, plastic or other materials do not show the way the same vigor as real crystal. all the time ask and verify material Before you purchase. ***

Alright,

- Just as in All of your spaces, your vehicle should be clean and fresh-smelling to facilitate good, healthy vigor movement.

- Do Not clutter up the back seat with clothes, stuffed animals, sporting equipment, et al, as this will detract the safe bet vigor from you car and originate a negative, chaotic and stressful environment. If you don't Love it, Use it or Need it, Get Rid Of It.

- Some Feng Shui practitioners will tell you to place fluffy cushions and/or blankets in your car to help equilibrium the hard, yang vigor of the road with a calming, comforting energy. I personally am a "less is more" type of person, however, if throwing a blanket in the back seat or you feel the need to "accessorize" your car with some accent pillows, go for it if it doesn't impair your driving. It should be noted that a blanket is a necessity if your dogs tour with you and/or for urgency situations if you life in a colder climate.

- Less is more as far as items hanging from the rearview mirror-the days of fuzzy dice, graduation tassels up more than 1 year after graduation (!) or whatever else that is large and will impair your driving (or items that will make other drivers afraid of you) need to be taken down. In Feng Shui philosophy, if this item falls off, it means it has protected you from negative energy, replace it immediately.

- Use music to help set the mood for your drive-classical to relax you on a long drive, some jazz for a dinner date, superior rock for your commute...whatever sets the mood for you. I personally like Jimmy Buffet as it makes me think of warm, sunny beach times and transports me from the cold and snow of Wi. Remember loud, aggressive music encourages aggressive driving-leave the Nas music off for your daily commute.

- according to Calgary author/interior designer Margo Trofimenkoff, you can tell the gender of your car by the placement of the gas cap. As you face your car from the front, if the gas cap is on the right it indicates feminine, on the left-masculine.

- Name your car (see previous). If you have a personal association with your care, you are more likely to take care of problems, keep it cleaner and keep up the maintenance in a timely manner. (My car's name is Tiffany based on the color-sterling silver).

- Keep your car in good working order. Get timely oil changes, keep tires properly inflated, replace burned out lights and keep the window washer fluid filled (it all the time goes empty right after a storm!).

- Make sure doors and windows (as in any space) open and close no ifs ands or buts and quietly. Any sticking or mystery will bring tension at the start of every journey. A door that doesn't close properly will also cause stress on the window, which can cause it to crack/break.

- When parking, try to leave a clear path that allows an unimpeded entrance. It should also be noted that you should never park facing a house/office/building as it can subconsciously originate a threat to the occupants in the building-a feeling of the car driving into the space. Park parallel or facing away from the space.

- When choosing a color for your car, the interior color is the most prominent choice as this is the color that most directly affects you while driving. If you aren't happy with the interior of your vehicle, it will cause you stress.

Want To heighten Your Relationships?

Feng Shui and Love

Diamonds Ring Enhancers

Feng Shui involves the balancing of your environment, using power and compass directions. It is also learning how to attract different kinds of power through colour, elements, intention and through the movement of chi.

By stirring up the power in your environment, you will have the capability to attract obvious power in varied areas of your life. For this month we will look at attracting obvious chi towards love, house and happy marriages. Here are some instructions on how to help move the power within your space to enhance the relationships in your life.

To Attract A Wife/Husband

Women seeing for a Husband: She should bring into her home more "Yang Chi". Yang chi is enhanced by the use of inviting lights, movement, activity, and sound.

Men seeing for a Wife: He should bring into his home more "Yin Chi". Yin chi is enhanced by dim lights, stillness, rest, and soft sounds.

Men and women seeing for mates should display prints depicting happy, loving couples in their home. Birds are perfect energizers for love whether they are real, in a photo, print or imitation. A emblem or print of a dragon and a phoenix are said to be the strongest energizers for love. It is said that they are messengers of "The God of Marriage" who resides in the moon. Lovebirds or mandarin ducks are also very auspicious in pairs to signify undying love and fidelity.

Sleep in your most auspicious direction by placing the crown of your head in that direction.

Add a red or yellow lamp in the Sw sector of your bedroom.

Place an earth element object in the Sw sector of your home. Crystals are perfect here. The best crystals to use are amethyst and rose quartz as they are highly sufficient in creating an climate of happiness. They can also be worn as jewellery to manifest their attributes of cheerfulness.

A pair of gold bands or diamond bands worn on your ring finger creates a double-happiness emblem of
marriage.

To enhance Or salvage A Marriage

Neutralize all beams, corners, edges and any poison arrows with Feng Shui remedies. Blocking these sources does not have to be involved or difficult.

For example:

Place objects in corners of the room to help chi flow easily, thus preventing it from becoming trapped in corners.

If the headboard of your bed is against a toilet wall, move it to another wall preferably in an auspicious direction for both you and your mate.

Neither partner should sleep in their total loss direction.

Ponds/Swimming pools should not be located to the right of the main door (looking out).

Prevent reflective surfaces from facing the bed causing any reflections in that direction. (Tv, mirrors, computer screens, etc.)

Do not place any water features of any kind in the bedroom. No fountains or still water.

Place 7 crystal spheres in the Sw projection of the bedroom. Do this to originate mighty nurturing chi inside the bedroom. It reduces hostility and raises tolerance.

Place 7 crystal spheres on the centre of the coffee table in the living room to originate the same effects. (Note: at least one of the spheres must be rock or quartz crystal.)

A raw amethyst geode tied with red string under the foot of the bed will safeguard against infidelity. Place on the wife's side, if the husband has a roving eye and visa versa if the opposite is true.

Place a small red light near the vicinity of the bed and leave it on through the night bring the combine closer together. This helps to enhance their bond.

Place a red light in the bedroom to originate the same bonding energy.

Place a print/photo of blooming peonies in the bedroom to enhance attraction toward one another.

The husband should sleep on the left side of the bed (when lying in bed) and the woman on the right to ensure proper equilibrium of yin and yang.

Display only one pair of birds in the bedroom.

Remove all photos of children or anything that is not representative of romance, love and fidelity.

The matrimonial bedroom should only depict the combine within the room with no outsiders.

Whether you pick to do one thing on this list or all the things on this list, remember to first de-clutter and clear the space by whether lighting incense, or critical oil, or ringing a bell throughout the room, or occasion windows, or letting in sunshine in. These are a few suggestions that you can use to start fresh in the space of your bedroom to beginning a new, more improved married life.

Do all with intention and thoughtfulness to originate the most mighty and obvious power in your space.

To enhance house Energy

The west side of your home and west side of each room is representative of children's luck.

If you are having issue conceiving, this is the area you would combine on as this is where happiness power arises toward the family.

Shine a inviting light on a auspicious object such as a emblem of a child or a house to enhance opinion luck.

Anything that depicts 100 children is very auspicious. Using images of pomegranates whether real, crystal or wood with a inviting or red light shining on it will enhance the opinion of children as well.

An elephant in the bedroom with it's trunk down also symbolizes prosperous conception.

Family portraits in the living room originate house closeness and bonding. Each member of the house should be in each photo frame to enhance a close house unit. everybody should be happy and smiling, on a happy occasion. This will stir up feelings of affection toward one another.

The entry of your home should depict everybody that lives within the home with the use of objects, decorations or photos that are representative of each member of the family. This could be something as easy as a cheerful house portrait or ornamental items that are representative of each person. When people come to your home, they should get a sense of who lives there just by walking into your front hall. This area should also be clutter free, clean, warm and inviting.

Lighting incense daily, ringing a bell, occasion windows to let fresh air in, playing pleasant music, the sound of a piano are all auspicious ways of improving the chi within your home and clearing the space of any negative energy.

A daily clearing ritual will help to keep the obvious power or "sheng chi" flowing through your home, thus helping to enhance all the relationships within the home.

By implementing some of the above suggestions, you will on your way to improving the relationships in your life and creating a more obvious climate within your home.

With that I would like to say,

May peace and harmony be yours.

The Phenomenon of Vedic (Jyotish Quality) Gemstones

We seem to have entered a time when many Americans all over the Usa, as well as many Europeans throughout the continent have become very interested in all things "Vedic". Not only in these continents, but also in Russia and other Balkan countries and even the Middle East interest in how gems may be used to improve people's lives in some way abounds.

Diamonds Ring Enhancers

With all the Vedic astrologers talking about their being able to affect karma to some degree, Ayurvedic doctors and practitioners naturally interested for their curative qualities and those just "jumping on the bandwagon" seeing a means to do some business with them, it is a field being more and more spoken about and debated.

As a someone who has been in a house dealing in high-priced gemstones all my life and a graduate gemologist for 35 years now, also my being a Vedic astrologer for almost as long, I have researched this subject, kept records of clients' experiences wearing gems and their use in the Ayurvedic clinic now for decades.

For those of you wanting to know what the fuss is all about just look this field up on the Internet. For those already knowing a bit about it from your astrologers, "jyotish gem sources" and others not surely well versed in how that translates into gemological reality and the real gem market today I want to give some serious facts here about what a "jyotish" or "Vedic astrological" quality gem surely is.

It is an irrevocable fact that 99% of all sapphires are heat treated today and with the newer diffusion heat medicine methods (coating the gem before the heating process that allows infused color to diffuse itself into the gemstone) the goalposts are changing drastically. It is also a fact that almost 100% of all rubies are heat treated (very, very few are obtainable with any desirable quality that are not of an exorbitant cost and value) and even dealers like our house are seeing that they are so rare and so costly that we don't have the clients willing to pay the price when we do find them. So many sapphires are now being treated, as well, with more sophisticated diffusion heating processes that it's getting to the point where only the top gem laboratories can afford the tool to say 100% what treatments have been used. In the old days we gemologists could pretty surely tell the incompatibility between a heat-treated gem and an unheated one using a microscope. Not any more!!

Since sapphires are the most widely used for jyotish, in their blue, yellow and white colors for Saturn, Jupiter and Venus respectively, clients buying a stone need to start request for guarantees, also being able to implicitly trust their sources. (If arrival from Bangkok they're all treated and if straight through a clearinghouse like Jaipur of Sri Lanka origin, you'd better know your source well).

What about emeralds? They're also one of the most sufficient gems used in jyotish for strengthening Mercury's affect in one's life. No, they're Not heated, but emeralds of market quality have many fractures and fissures that have traditionally been filled with cedar oil. The oil has a refractive index (R.I. In gemological parlance) close to that of the emerald, so once the fractures are filled they almost disappear, as the light doesn't bend sufficient to make them surely visible. It's not that cedar oil in a very few small fractures would necessarily render an emerald useless for jyotish, it's that ordinarily they are very low quality with Lots of fissures that are cleverly covered up using this process. If you saw the stone without it, you'd reject it immediately!

At the time of this writing, in February 2008, polymers (instead of oil) are being touted by fellowships that produce emeralds treated with this substance as a permanent medicine and enhancer. It is said by them to be a means of production emeralds affordable to the ever-dwindling people with any disposable revenue to afford high-priced gems at all. And the jewelry trade is accepting this for the sake of the business. For someone wishing a gem for "jyotish purposes" this is a travesty. It is a low quality, thoroughly unsuitable emerald that is made to look good with a sophisticated polymer to fill all the cracks and crevices in the gem. Even worse are the new "assembled" emeralds being found that surely glue multiple stones together and polish them to look like one gemstone.

Red coral from the Mediterranean, which is the finest source, is increasingly in short supply. There's more from the orient around, but again the great bulk of it is treated with glue, resins, and at the very least wax-impregnated. The majority of it is dyed white coral (or even an additional one substance).

The old adage "you get what you pay for" is most approved for buying a "jyotish gem". Does this mean that high quality "jyotish" gems are no longer a viable "remedial measure" or "upaya" for a lot of people? I'm afraid so. If you're spending a few hundred dollars and need a ruby, sapphire or emerald you can know without question that you are going to be cheated. Those "jyotish gem dealers" that have cheap goods are selling such treated gems, as this is the law of economics. A rare and high quality gemstone is not a "cheap" item and if you insist on cheap, then by the law of "let the buyer beware" you will be cheated.
Still, a gem lasts a lifetime, so if one can afford a decent car the expense is still not necessarily anywhere near as high as that, and it never needs any servicing. It must be looked at as an venture in one's present and future and worth what their value is. It's a reality that high-priced gems are a rarity and not in plenty compared to some other natural products of our earth, and that they have been a commodity prized and valued by human civilizations from time immemorial.

What about the substitute gems? Well, many people propose them, but we have surely not seen any effects in people's lives from their usage. Only the white sapphire in place of brilliant seems to have great effects and the rest....? It is a fact that many, many people in clinical curative trials become "cured" in the group taking placebos (sugar pills). Even if you have faith in their efficacy even many of the semi-precious gems are heated and treated in many ways to make them more interesting to the eye.

In conclusion I want to say that what I am talking about here is using a natural gemstone, worn on the body in a ring, pendant or other talisman, to affect one's life in accordance with Vedic jyotish, or astrological, principles. quality is everything. If you fetch the right gem of natural and high quality "gemologically" you will most surely gain an distinct result in whether gross or subtle areas of your life. It is my purpose in having written this description that buyers know the questions to ask and are not naturally relying on those in the field not truly educated in the science of gemology, for all too often we have the unsavory duty to write back someone who just showed us their "jyotish" gemstone that they have just been cheated with something made to look like what they surely wanted.
