Feng Shui – locate your bed in the proper place

Is your health or relationship suffering? It might have to do with your bedroom layout. 

Feng shui is an ancient Chinese system that aligns the energy from your environment with your own. Misplaced pieces of furniture, although functional, can block the flow of energy and affect your health and relationships.

• Place your bed in commanding position, or correct it with a mirror

The entry point of energy for the room is your door, so you want to locate your bed so that when you’re lying in bed, you can see that door. However, you don’t want to be directly in line with the door either and blocking the rest of the energy flow through the room. A good rule of thumb is to place the bed diagonal from the door.

There are many cases in which this is not possible due to the room size. There’s still hope! If you can’t be in the commanding position, you can correct the bed by using a mirror to redirect the energy. Place a mirror so that when you’re in bed you can see the reflection of the door. A freestanding mirror is even better as it allows you to correct the angle.

• Check that doors don’t open up directly in line with the bed. If it’s unavoidable, correct it with a feng shui crystal ball

You also want to avoid any doors opening up directly onto any part of the bed. Avoid having your feet point straight out the door. This is often referred to as the “coffin position”.

If the only place for your bed is in line with a door, it can be corrected. You can hang a faceted feng shui crystal ball halfway between the door and the bed.

• Have a solid wall behind your headboard for support

The head of your bed should be sitting securely against a solid wall. This means that you are supported from the back. I know it may seem like common sense, but I’ve seen people place the beds with the headboard in the middle of the room, or even the whole bed floating in the middle of the room. Always remember, you want the support of a wall behind you. This is so we avoid energy flowing only to us and not going somewhere else.

Second, avoid windows behind the head of the bed if possible. The energy will go outside! This is especially important if you’re on the ground floor or have eye issues. Better to have a solid wall behind you.

• Avoid placing your bed on the other side of a toilet wall

Avoid sharing your headboard with the wall of the toilet. This means you want to rule out placing your bed on a wall that has the toilet on the other side of it. You don’t want to have a toilet on the other side of the wall from your head.

If it’s not possible, you can place a mirror on the wall above and behind the bed to expand the view of the bedroom beyond. This will energetically erase the toilet.

• Have space open on both sides of the bed for the adults in the home

For adults, it’s best to have open space on the left and right sides of the bed. I suggest you have at least 18 inches on each side. It’s not ideal to place your bed with one side up against a wall.

The space on both sides allows a balance of your yin and yang, as well as space for each partner (or future partner). If this is not possible, do the best you can to have space on the wall side. You can also place a mirror on the wall that the bed is up next to. This can expand the view of energetically.

For children, it’s okay to have a bed against the wall as it can give them some support.

What the magician card says about you

You turned over and it was upright

We think of a magicians as transformers – peeople who perform spells to heal, transform, transmutations and the like. They are able to complete the circuit between heaven and Earth; and bring forth the divine gold within her or himself. The card smbolises the disconnect between the physical and spiritual worlds (“as above, so below”) and the magician being the conduit converting spiritual energy into real-world action.

You have the energy and potential to tap into your skills and manifest your desires. Just like a magician could convert spirtiual energy into real world effect.

You turned over it was Reversed

The Magician card reversed suggests you may be working against your own creativity. That you are not willing to cast the spell that would invoke change. Perhaps you feel that your ideas are too scandalous or too precedent breaking. Perhaps you feel it should be someone else who communicates these insights or challenges. Perhaps you are uncomfortable with taking a leadership position, even a temporary one.

Remind yourself that casting the spell what you have to gain. Have the courage of your convictions, speak the truth and you will be rewarded.

What does this mean for you?

Have faith in your skills and innate creativity. The Magician advises you give your questioning nature and free-associating mind plenty of room to explore the subject at hand. Behave just as if you were an open-minded and curious scientist. Through this process, you may bring freshness and clarity into the situation that is both stimulating and catalytic.

You do not have to understand it all intellectually, your intuition will guide you. React quickly without thinking too much into and be present for what is right in front of you. There is no reason to hold yourself back. Your natural urges are exactly what is needed, and, your ingenuous timing and elegant style will help smooth over any awkwardness.

What does The High Priestess Tarot card mean?

The High Priestess Upright Meaning

The High Priestess is a “trump” card, that represents human wisdom. The High Priestess can be viewed as a kind of female Pope, the ancient Egyptian Priestess of Isis, the Greek goddess Persephone, or Eve, before the fall.

For the accused heretics who were burnt at the stake for revering her in the 14th and 15th century, the Priestess symbolized the prophecy of the return of the Holy Spirit, which was perceived as the female aspect of the Holy Trinity.

In terms of the Major Arcana ordering of cards, The High Priestess appears in the sequence as soon as the Fool decides he wants to develop his innate powers, making a move toward becoming a Magician. The High Priestess is his first teacher, representing the inner life and the method for contacting it, as well as the contemplative study of nature and spiritual mystery.

The High Priestess Reversed Meaning
The High Priestess card reversed suggests that when you have problems, it’s usually because you are so attracted to your inner life that it has become an addiction in itself. It blots out your interest in ordinary reality, friends, and family — the connections that hold us fast to our worldly identities.

Don’t take this card as permission to abandon the world. This is a reminder to balance your outer identifications with internal cultivation, so you can more effectively bring the spiritual world to the material world.

The High Priestess Advice Position
The card advises you to follow your chosen spiritual practice on a regular basis. If you want to evolve, you have to cooperate with spirit. We all have distractions and demands that take away our time to retreat into our inner sanctum.

Until you consider this as vital to your well-being as the need to eat and sleep, you are likely to be eternally restless and deeply dissatisfied. A spiritual routine that suits your temperament, practiced every day, is the most trustworthy path to freedom.

when you discover your magician card

You turned over the Magician Upright

When we think of a magician in day past – it someone who can demonstrate hands-on magic — as in healing, transformative rituals, alchemical transmutations, charging of talismans, and the like. If we take this forward into the mordern world, a modern Magician is any person who completes the circuit between heaven and Earth; one who seeks to bring forth the divine gold within her or himself. The card symbolizes the meetings of the physical and spiritual worlds (“as above, so below”) and the conduit converting spiritual energy into real-world action.

You have the energy, potential to tapping into your talents to manifest one desire’s. Just like a magician in the past could convert spirtiual energy into real world action.

You turned over the Magician Reversed

The Magician card reversed suggests you may be working against your own creativity. Perhaps you feel that your ideas are too scandalous or too precedent breaking. Perhaps you feel it should be someone else who communicates these insights or challenges. Perhaps you are uncomfortable with taking a leadership position, even a temporary one.

Ask yourself what you have to lose. Have the courage of your convictions and speak your truth.

What does this mean for you?

Have faith in your innate creativity. The Magician advises you give your questioning nature and free-associating mind plenty of room to explore the subject at hand. Behave just as if you were an open-minded and curious scientist. Through this process, you may bring freshness and clarity into the situation that is both stimulating and catalytic.

You do not have to understand it all intellectually. Besides, intuition is your ace in the hole. Respond in a spontaneous manner to what is right in front of you. There is no reason to hold yourself back. Your natural urges are exactly what is needed, and, your ingenuous timing and elegant style will help smooth over any awkwardness.

Yin and Yang

Passed on from generation to generation, during ancient chinese times, this symbol has lasted centuries showing the truth behind the symbol. Yin and yang embodies the concept of dualism, explaining our natural world where we see opposite or contrary forces that co-exist and are complementary, interconnected and interdependent. These forces give rise to each other as they interrelate to one another.

Our universe creates itself out of a primary chaos of material energy, organized into the cycles of Yin and Yang and formed into objects and lives. Yin is the receptive and Yang the active principle, seen in all forms of change and difference such as the annual cycle (winter and summer), the landscape (north-facing shade and south-facing brightness), sexual coupling (female and male), the formation of both men and women as characters and sociopolitical history (disorder and order)

Included among these forms are humans. Many natural dualities (such as light and dark, fire and water, expanding and contracting) are thought of as physical manifestations of the duality symbolized by yin and yang.

When you discover the fool card

The Fool Reversed Meaning

You are encountering an unfinished side of yourself, a part in the shadows of either ignorance or immaturity. You could be held back by an emotional event or psychological hang up that stops you from responding authentically and naturally.

Break through the barriers and release yourself from any preconceived ideas or taboos so your natural truthfulness and instinct for right action can be restored.

The Fool Advice Position

The universe advises that you lighten up. Let yourself be spontaneous enough to stretch beyond the rigidity and realm of logic. It can be difficult to loosen up and think that you posses the knowledge, power, or control to direct reality.

Do you feel the need to manage everything that happens in your life? Open and receive without question and try not to decipher any meaning beneath the surface. The Fool has no ambition to manipulate a specific outcome. You should be happy to be part of the whole.

Release any expectations and take one day at a time. Be present in the moment and give your complete undivided attention to events in front of you

Improving every day – Bodyweight

I am compounding my progress 1% everyday. How do you ensure that this is done for diet purposes?

Keep stats i.e. your body weight. Everyday you shall weigh yourself in the morning at the same time. Either after you pee or right after before you take food. This will ensure consistency in your measurements. You will get greatly different results if you were to weight yourself right in the morning before breakfast and then the next time right after a big dinner. It is like using two different rulers.

Work towards a target. Pick your average weight loss per week and then extrapolate to your desired weight. This is how long on average it will take you to lose weight. If you have no idea how long you will take it sets unrealistic expectations and may cause you to lose hope in losing weight.

Be healthy and at a minimum align with female ideals of men. We all look at the rock, arnold schwarz and aspire to their physiques. But in reality this is what is popular with men. If you watch Arnold move you can see that he is slow and awkward looking. Why do you think it is that the terminator moves like a robot?

The feminine ideal is actually akin to Brad Pitt in the fight club. Slim with muscle visible. From an evolutionary perspective we presume this is what hunters looked like. They were still able to move and fight and did not have excess demands in caloric intake. Arnold would not have been able to keep himself fed back in the day!

So next time you think that you are getting too small, just ask the opinion of the opposite sex, you may find a different answer to how you view yourself.

Work on the external rotations. If you are like me, you sit in front of the computer alot and as such you may have internally rotated shoulders and bad posture. This makes you look alot skinner and more downtrodden than you would believe. Fix your posture and your skinny self will still look good!
