Key Principles of Honey Bee Feng Shui

HARMONY.

From the late 14th century, Middle English armonye, Old French armonie, Latin and Greek harmonia.  Meaning: agreement, means of joining, framework, agreement of feeling, concord.

As you know, Feng Shui, literally translated into english, is "wind-water." This is a shorthand, taken from this passage from Zangshu, or Book of Burial, by Guo Pu:

Qi rides the wind and scatters, but is retained when encountering water.

 The goal of Feng Shui is to create harmonious spaces by enhancing the positive flow of Qi, or Life Force, using Nature's elements.  This, in turn, creates harmony in our lives.  Remember the law: when your space changes, you change too - so best to pay close attention to the ways in which you, or others, change your space!  And, don't forget - harmony is a relationship, not a one-way street.  Harmony is not created at the expense of others, or at the expense of the earth. 

Why Is Adding Nature to Our Indoor Environments Important?

For tens of thousands of years, human beings lived deeply connected to the Natural World- its spaces, its cycles, and its species. We are a part of Nature and have evolved in profound connection with other beings and elements of Nature. And yet today, 95% of our time is spent indoors, shut off from Nature's rhythms and energies.

"If human history for the last 40,000 years were represented by just one hour, then the amount of time that we have been living in such extreme isolation from Nature would be represented by only a few seconds." - Denise Linn, Feng Shui for the Soul

The Element of Wood

In the Spirit Realm

In Feng Shui, brown has a very stable and nourishing energy.  It has been strongly associated with the Wood element.

Wood element is considered important because it is both strong and bendable, and is identified with new life and new beginnings.  It is used extensively to "correct," or offset bad flow of Qi.

Your Own Personal Dance of Joy

Is there a place in your home or office that seems to suffer from a lack of proper energy flow?  When you walk through or sit in it, does this place feel stagnant, weighty, or just plain "stuck?"  One of the easiest ways to liven up a stale space is to infuse it with a boost of Qi courtesy of a living plant.
