"During these days of soaring unemployment, it's more
critical than ever to honor the relationship between boss and
employee. Never are those energies felt more acutely than today,
'National Boss/Employee Exchange Day.' If you're
looking to make your mark in the office and impress the person
responsible for your reviews and rewards, then it's important
to assess the 'Fame' area of the main floor of your living
space. Located at the back center or the middle of the far back
wall of the house (looking in from your front door, divide the main
floor of your home into a tic-tac-toe board. The area to which I
refer would be considered the top center grid or square). Into this
space place an image or a picture of a peacock. According to Feng
Shui, the peacock symbolizes another high-flyer, the phoenix. These
birds are believed responsible for bringing the 'employee'
recognition, bonus and big boons from the boss. The phoenix can
rise from the ashes as well, so even if you've been having a
hard time at work, this adjustment will activate energies of
transformation of your reputation. If you're really hoping to
heat up your 'Q' factor, then you can also hang a picture
of a phoenix or peacock at the entrance to your office. Then sit
back and wait as opportunity for increased exposure and rewards
literally fly through your door. Now, isn't it about time for
you to get out and strut your stuff?"

"Bed Shui Day! That's right, it's 'National Make
Your Bed Day,' but I want to make sure that you're happy to
lie in it, too! There's a tremendously powerful cure in Feng
Shui that involves moving the bed by an inch or so to one side or
the other. Just by changing the position of your bed this
adjustment promises powerful and quick increases in opportunities
to change your fortune to fabulous while changing your luck to,
well, lucky. This codicil states that you should move your bed
completely out of the spot it's currently sitting in and vacuum
both under and all around it. Clearly the suggestion here supposes
that there's nothing lurking under that same space. After
vacuuming you should move it back an inch or so to one side or the
other from the previous positioning. If you really want to get
serious about engaging the Shui, you should also turn your mattress
while you are changing your luck. Change out your sheets while
you're at it and be sure to use a set of complimentary colors.
Looking for love? Dream on pink! Need some health and healing or
even a new little member of the family? Dream green! Is money an
issue? Sleep on purple and then watch the big boost to your bank
balance. Talk about sweet dreams! Change the position of your bed
and make sweet music in almost every other area of your life as
well!"

"My interpretation of 'Swap Ideas Day' is of energies
relating to networking, brainstorming and creating new and
wonderful connections, or even activating old ones that may have
fallen by the wayside. Either way, Feng Shui has just the cure! In
this philosophy there are many methods that strive to create a flow
of Chi that then promise to greatly enhance opportunities for
business and social successes. Remember to agree to any meeting
these efforts generate as fortunate possibilities that may then
generate even more beneficial ones down the line. For 27
consecutive days contact at least one person who you haven't
had contact with inside the last six months. The contact can be
made by text, email, phone call, in person or even by snail mail.
You simply need to reach out to one person each day in order to
adjust the energies that can invigorate your world. In each contact
you must avoid complaining or even making any requests. This is
simply a stab at reconnecting as well as reestablishing open lines
of communication. Don't turn down any opportunities that arise
from these efforts. Make time, make room, make the effort.
Visualize that your career, social life, friendships and family
ties now become more harmonious, happier and balanced, as well as
more blessed and personally beneficial. And then they
will!"

"Today is the ninth day of the ninth month in the year 2009,
which means there's magic in the ethers all around you! In Feng
Shui, the number nine represents happy and prosperous conclusions
that bring completion to certain cycles of our lives before
embarking on a new path. The reason that this number holds this
mantle is because it's the last of the single digit integers
before you get to double digits that can then be reduced back down
to a single (10 = 1+0). So, on the Feng Shui Magic Square called Lo
Shui, the number nine is associated with transformation,
recognition and rewards. It's also the only number in
calculation that will always reproduce itself. For instance, 9 x 2
= 18 with 1 + 8 hearkening back to the magic nine. There's all
sorts of mystery surrounding this number: on the ninth day the
ancients buried their dead. The Romans honored their dead every
ninth year and it was at the ninth hour that Jesus was said to have
died. Hebrew teachings state the God has descended to earth nine
times. There are nine planets in the solar system and the nine is
associated with mankind itself. It's the number of force and
energy and its purest form denotes ambition and domination over
all. On this day try to do one or all three of these next things in
order to gain the most magic you can from the energies swirling all
around. Knock on your front door nine times, visualizing
opportunities and advantages coming through that same space. Put
nine yellow roses in the center of your home, and then light nine
red candles in the 'Fame' area of your main floor. Any one
of these adjustments will put you in touch with the miracles
surrounding this number, but enacting all three will put you in
position of strength, power and fulfillment. Here's to a day
dedicated to the number nine, it's a total 10 in my
book!"

"Physical therapists can be lifesavers in their own right, and
I'm happy that they have an entire day honoring them. I
personally know the miracles they can affect and have seen so many
patients who are moving more easily because of their efforts. If
you're looking for a way to make your own being more flexible,
why not take a page from the secret Chi human body book and try
this next exercise? It's calming to the entire physiology while
also gently expanding the torso, allowing breathing space for the
stomach and entire digestive tract. Chi Kung uses this exercise to
stimulate increased flow of blood to the brain, potentially
preventing traumas such as strokes. For centuries the Chinese have
used this movement to treat ulcers, digestive disorders and brain
ailments. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and your toes
pointed slightly inward. Shake your hands as they hang at your
sides, relaxing your shoulders and letting go of tension in the
arms. Keep your arms extended with elbows slightly bent and then
swing them in front of your body as you raise them to an overhead
position in a clean, broad arc. Now swing them back down to the
starting position before repeating again. Do this at least eleven
times in a row to get full benefit, breathing fully throughout.
It's simple but dramatic and might just keep you away from
needing future physical therapy yourself. It's a gift from the
ages to help keep you young."

"Inside some monthly orchestrations, September is also
referred to as 'Classical Music Month.' When I first read
of this the association all I could think of was how instrumental
the role of classical music has been not only in my life but in the
life of my son as well. I remember long ago learning that the fetus
will smile when the mother-to-be plays Vivaldi. This has been
proven on ultra-sounds and sonograms. The little baby in utero will
literally smile when the melodies of any Vivaldi arrangement or
suite is played softly nearby. Likewise, classical music can soothe
even the most cranky or colicky child. The delicate sounds of
soothing lullabies and calming musical arrangements have been
proven to help a baby unwind and relax while teaching it the
tremendously important act of falling asleep without any parental
intervention. You don't need to take my word for it. Hospital
neo natal units and nurseries such as Duke Medical Center and
Shands Children's Hospital all use the sounds of classical
music to create a serene and subdued environment that help even the
fussiest of babies to find solace before falling off to slumber. So
the next time your crying child has you pulling your hair out, why
not hit the exact right chord by pulling out a classical music CD
instead!"

"Since it's 'Skyscraper Day,' then today should be
filled with tall fun. Speaking of tall buildings, there are
Oriental superstitions that say you should never live or work in
the tallest building on the block. Eastern cultures believe that
there's an almost egotistical energy surrounding the tallest
buildings that beg for them to be noticed, both in good and bad
ways. Their customs also say that you should take the more cautious
route and steer clear of publicly preening in true Trump style. In
the world of Feng Shui, this superstition translates to the
perspective of the shorter building. Feng Shui says that if
you're living beside or between two taller structures, than the
fresh and healthy Chi that you need to live a fresh and healthy
life sometimes has a harder time reaching you as it gets stuck
serving the two taller buildings. The cure is to position a small
mirror on your rooftop, reflective side facing the sky and shining
upwards into the heavens. This will allow your architecture to
create invisible but energetic height while also allowing your
space to be open to all energies swirling around. If you're
stationed next to a building that's bigger than yours but
cannot affect that Feng Shui adjustment, then the next best thing
is to position a mirror outside your building that faces the one
next door. That's the short and the skinny of this tall story,
the same one that ends with everyone living happily ever after, no
matter what heights their environs aspire
to!"
