After the recent world events, it is no surprise to me that there is a lot of fear present in the minds of people all over the world.

How does Feng Shui help during these moments?

At the beginning of every Chinese New Year, Master Practitioners are busy doing an annual checkup of their client’s space. They re-balance and neutralize the negative aspects of energy. These negative energies may have a big impact on their client’s business and lives.

Every New Year brings about a change in energies. These changes set the tone and trend in many parts of industry and life. The energies also influence our behavior and our actions. The conflicts the world has experienced in the last few weeks are evident of this change in energy.

2016 is the year of the Fire Monkey. There will be clashes of energy. One of the afflictions will be in the section of the men. The Northwest has the energy of conflict, anger and argument. The energies have been transitioning since late November creating havoc in the world.

The Flying Star chart for 2016 shows us the negative and positive energies of a space. It shows WHAT type of problem or affliction is present. Knowing the WHAT helps us prepare and deal with the affliction in an effective way.

Flying Stars Feng Shui is the fastest and most practical way to help us deal with the change in energies. It has been practiced for many centuries and was only available to the members of the Imperial Court. Since its modern release, this method has become very popular in Asian countries and communities because it works extremely well with the pace of our modern life style.

For 2016, the solution to conflict is to join hands and work together. It has become more important than ever to form a tribe and community. Creating and maintaining good relationships, working together to help each other to solve issues = wealth and success!

Just like monkeys work in a community and as a tribe, we must all work together to end fear and succeed. We can make a big difference by forming a community that is grounded on being one with our neighbor, no matter how small our contributions are.

To commemorate the much anticipated release of the Star Wars movie this week, I want to include the wisdom of the great Jedi Master Yoda:

"Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering. Fear is the path to the dark side".

Being in the light is the answer. Enjoy your holiday celebrations with laughter and love!

Stay tune next month for more information on the energies of 2016.
