Re-Decorating For Success

Keeping things in balance...it's not easy these days. We all live very fast lives in this world of instant gratification and satisfaction. We wonder why we get sick more often; we are not as successful as we would like to be and have problems in the office and at home. There never seems to be enough time in the day to get everything done...let alone have a minute for personal development and relaxation.(Lillian Too)

In feng shui we recognize the importance of the harmony of yin and yang energies. We Chinese believe that all things in the universe are either female YIN or male YANG...the dark, quiet yin and the bright and boisterous yang - and we know that one without the other cannot exist. We cannot have the warmth of summer without the coldness of winter...or the darkness of night without the bright morning light. But they must be in balance.

When this balance is present everything works in your favor...so it's important to create such a balance in your home and in your personal life. Think about your living room or bedroom for a moment in this context. Is the room too yin...is it dark and without sunlight or artificial light? What colours have you used? Have you decorated with shades of gray and blue? Is it cramped and uncomfortable? Are you suffering from a spate of bad luck...or have you been ill?
