I was chatting to a neighbour about the plans for the wall to divide the home office from the conservatory. She was aghast. Didn’t I realise that I’ll be blocking off the energy flow around the house? I looked at her blankly and then I remembered. She’s into Feng Shui in a big way.
Wish I’d kept quiet about my wall now. My tuition has begun. I am an earth sign, my kua is 9 and my lucky direction is east. I need to be wearing greens, browns, blues and blacks. I should avoid purple, red, white and grey. Next week we are mapping out my bagua. No I have no idea what that is, no doubt I will find out next week. Anyway it seems that my wall should be OK as long as I get a glass door and I put plenty of plants and wood furniture in the east area.
The strange thing though is that I did follow one of her instructions and I have given the house and my office at work a good tidy up. And since doing that I do feel a lot better in myself emotionally and physically. So is there something in this Feng Shui after all?
Something else has also happened to get me thinking. I got into a casual conversation about my fluctuating energy levels with someone. His immediate reaction was that it’s all down to my biorhythms.
I keep a daily diary which records things like energy levels etc. So I did my biorhythm chart for the previous month and compared it with the diary. The results were spooky. On every single day I felt particularly tired my physical biorhythm was in a negative phase. My emotional biorhythm also accurately tracked how my mood swings have been.
I’m now very tempted to try to organise my life over the next month so I take full advantage of the days I’m in positive phase. However I think that if I have the idea in my head that I’m going to be tired on a particular day then it could influence how I feel.
One of my friends says I shouldn’t think so much, it’s not good for me. Perhaps she’s right. I have read a lot of self help books lately and some of them have not been at all helpful. I am so anxious to do everything I possibly can to get a good recovery, but maybe the answer is to stop trying so hard.
