Feng Shui for the dining Room

Whenever I feel a lack of abundance, I always get out my Feng Shui Books and there are simple things you can do that are called cures. I have been doing this for about seventeen years now. I just received one of my daily emails from Care2.com/greenliving which listed these things specifically for a dining room. I think I will start posts using my many Feng Shui books going forward. It really is magical. We ended up putting in a koi pond years ago right off our back patio with a waterfall. I have used it all over the property and every single time I make the effort to do a new cure, which in Feng Shui has to have your full intent, new business has come in. I swear. One of the best books I have ever bougt on the subject is Feng Shui for Dummies, I kid you not. For now here is a taste courtesy the Care2.com web site. If you click the title it will take you to the whole article.

There can be something unwelcomingly formal about a dining room–especially when compared to the warmth of the kitchen. But the dining room has great potential, in my mind most especially as a place to harbor fond memories of gathering, eating and celebrating. Maybe it’s just a matter of some little adjustments to make the dining room more receptive to its purpose. Here are some quick fixes I came across in Feng Shui Dos and Taboos (Storey Publishing, 2000) by Angi Ma Wong that may help transform an underutilized dining room into the heart of your home. They might also usher in a little health and abundance along the way.
Keep a bowl or an arrangement of fruit on your dining room table to represent continuous sustenance to your family. Add a mirror on the West or Northwest wall of your dining room to double the food on your table.
• Put images of food and fruit in the East area of your dining room to represent the abundance and sustenance that you want to attract to your table and home.
• Don’t hang too many pictures of birds in your dining room, as this will create an imbalance in yang energy.
• Place persimmons in the South areas to symbolize joy and festivity.
• Don’t leave cleaning supplies in the dining room. They symbolize the “cleaning out” of income, good health, nutrition, and prosperity.
