9 Feng Shui Steps to Take When Choosing a New Home

The literal meaning of feng shui is the flow of "wind" and "water" . The wind disperses the invisible life energy and the water contains it. You attract and cultivate positive energy - otherwise known as sheng qui (shung chi)  and eliminate negative energy - otherwise known as sha qui (shar chi) when you practice feng shui.

We can use feng shui inside our homes when choosing how to lay out our rooms and decorate but there are factors that should be taken into account when you are first choosing the location of a new home.

Nine feng shui factors to consider when choosing a new home:

  1. Look for a new home that fits in with the natural landscape. If there has been a lot of excavation done such as high retaining walls, this is cutting into the land's natural energy. 
  2. Choose a house that is on the high side of the street or high on a hill. Not only will it have more privacy and no flooding problems, but the Chinese believe it will bring more prosperity.
  3. The block the new house is located on should be rectangular in shape.  Being longer on the northern and southern ends. If you cannot have a rectangular block, then it would be good if the block was wider at the back than at the front.
  4. Avoid neighborhoods that have a triangular shape. The qu (chi- energy) can stagnate and gather in the corners of the neighborhood.
  5. Really good feng shui - and most of us would love this - is having the front of the home look out over water. The sea actually isn't considered that great because it can be dark and gloomy. A lake, river, bay or harbor would be preferable.
  6. Avoid being next to drainage canals. These can be full of unpleasant sha qui ( shar chi) - negative energy.
  7. Make sure that the home is not too enclosed by large trees or large homes. This will block the qi (chi-energy)
  8. The house must be built on solid ground. If the ground is wet, sandy or sunken and too damp it will generate dead qui.
  9. Watch out for dead plants or plants that are having a hard time thriving on the land. This is a sign of dead qi.
According to the Chinese, where the descending heaven qi meets the ascending earth qi is the ideal site for a home. These rules are not written in stone, but halfway up a hill facing the sun is considered great feng shui because you will have a view and you will get cool summer breezes and warm winter ones.

As you can see the world of feng shui is not all about the spiritual. It  is actually a combination of common sense and spirituality all designed to bring us to a place of peace and positive energy.

Knowing and practicing a little bit of feng shui can open up a whole new world for you. You can then take control of your surroundings by making positive changes.

Food and beverage market is central to consumer perceptions of sustainability

Consumers and Sustainability: Food and Beverage, Personal Care, Household Cleaners, and OTC Medications and Supplements The CPG markets covered are food and beverage, personal care, household cleaners, and OTC medications and supplements. Sustainability means different things to different people. Asked to identify what the term means to them, consumers most frequently respond "the ability to last over time" (76%) and "the ability to support oneself." Sustainability is also strongly associated with environmental concerns, whereby consumers are being challenged to develop and express an "eco-consciousness" in their daily habits and purchases. Thus, nearly half of consumers associate sustainability with conserving natural resources and with recycling.

What is Duodenal Ulcer and How to Diagnose?

The condition referred to as Duodenal Ulcer is one that typically announces itself as a sharp, severe pain in the upper part of the abdomen (the Epigastrium), appearing when a person is hungry and the stomach is empty. Essentially, duodenal ulcers are caused by too much acid in the stomach; when the acid proves too strong for the protective inner lining of the duodenum (the part where the stomach joins the small intestine), it starts, in effect, burning a hole in the stomach wall. It is this crater, or ulcer, which results in pain, particularly when there is no food inside the stomach to use up the acid that is being produced. Patients who develop duodenal ulcers usually tend to get relief from their pain by taking some milk, bland food or antacid tablets (like milk of magnesia), which can neutralize the excess acid. The danger of duodenal ulcers is that they erode the stomach wall - either perforating (so that the contents of the stomach leak out into the abdominal cavity) or erod...

A Quick Guide To Employee Orientation - Help For Managers & HR

A Quick Guide To Employee Orientation  - Help For Managers & HR We would not be understating the case if we said that orienting employees  to their workplaces and their jobs is one of the most neglected functions  in government.  Countless horror stories exist about how a new employee  has received a ten minute talk with the manager, and directed to his or her  office position, with no further guidance or instruction.  Not only is this  exceedingly stressful for the employee, but it virtually guarantees a very  long period of unproductiveness for the employee.  In this month's PSM Supplement we present an overview of the orientation  process, and a checklist that you can use when orienting new staff.  As  you read the article, keep in mind that orientation is also important for  existing employees if a) they have never received proper orientati...
