Feng Shui from A to Z by Janet Mitsui Brown
Feng Shui for Mother’s Day – Janet Mitsui Brown
So here we are in the middle of spring, with Mothers Day around the corner. The trigram for mother is KUN or the southwest part of your home. To bring joy to your home make sure your mother enjoys the southwest. KUN is the earth element– and the colors are earthy – yellow, brown, beige, orange…and I like to add fire (red) – because fire creates earth. So if you’re sending flowers, think [...]
Roosters, Rainbows and Feng Shui – Janet Mitsui Brown
The Dragon & the Rooster -- Good feng shui can improve your luck, your health, and your prosperity…but it often takes patience and hard work too. Fix the mundane, and if the energy is still stuck, try the transcendental… But it’s those in-between days that can be exasperating. Even I, a feng shui practitioner, have these days. My husband experienced a few days of bad luck – he was [...]
Feng Shui – Janet Mitsui Brown
I often get inquiries regarding feng shui consultations for the home, or office, or property – it’s a pretty amazing experience -- something I enjoy doing, and I think the client ends up being surprised and changed by the experience. So what is the process like? Most people who make inquiries know a little already about feng shui – they’re familiar with it, have done some reading about [...]
Feng Shui & Joy of Spring- Janet Mitsui Brown
It’s March, and at the end of this week will be daylight savings…and in another month Easter and spring break will arrive. It is spring here in Los Angeles. I can sense winter is still hanging on, as it was chilly yesterday and today (50 degrees is chilly for us). In feng shui the tai chi cycle is turning from water (winter) to wood (spring) and it is a time of renewal, and the beginning of [...]
Feng Shui – Janet Mitsui Brown
Transitions and Feng Shui -- I just returned from New York – I visited my daughter who lives there, and I attended a celebration of life for a good friend. The visit with my daughter was wonderful – we ate, she took me to all of her favorite venues, I met her new friends, and I enjoyed simply sitting on the subway train with her. What better way to spend the day than withyour daughter – [...]
Feng Shui for Valentines Day – Janet Mitsui Brown
It’s peach blossom feng shui! Here in Los Angeles we have peach trees…and true to February 14, there are peach blossoms, which signify love is in the air. Amazingly enough – we have two peach trees in our yard, and the one in the Black Hat Sect romance corner (our compass school East corner) is the one with the peach blossoms. It is an indication that feng shui energies are attracting [...]
Feng Shui Prosperity – Janet Mitsui Brown
Ten thousand blessings for 2012, the year of the Water Dragon. The holiday season is long for our family. We begin with Thanksgiving, a time so special for us I wrote a children’s book about it. Then Christmas arrives, and our daughter comes home for a lengthy visit (soo wonderful), and of course we celebrate the holidays Christmas Eve and Christmas. The Japanese New Year we call Oshogatsu [...]
Feng Shui Prosperity – Janet Mitsui Brown
In feng shui life is constantly in transition, so every moment is appreciated. I feel balanced – yoga, tai chi, qi gong and walking are part of my weekly routine, and I'm a big believer in meditation. My wish for the new year is to be a good, well-informed feng shui practitioner, so I can pass on my knowledge to others, bringing the hope of prosperity to all of you readers. Today, my note [...]
