Feng Shui

I didnt know what Feng Shui was until a couple of weeks ago! When I heard the word for the very first time, I thought it had to deal with martial arts or something like that. Later I realized that Feng Shui is a very special tecnique used by the chinese to keep "harmony" and "balance" with the nature.

According to Wikipedia, Feng shui is a Chinese system of geomancy believed to use the laws of both Heaven and Earth to help one improve life by receiving positive “qi” or “ch'i”.  The term Feng Shui literally translates as "wind-water" in English. Surfing and reading in the internte, I found out that "Qi" (pronounced "chee" in English) is a movable positive or negative life force which plays an essential role in Feng Shui. In Feng Shui as in Chinese martial arts, it refers to 'energy', in the sense of 'life force' or élan vital. A traditional explanation of “qi” as it relates to Feng Shui would include the orientation of a structure, its age, and its interaction with the surrounding environment including the local microclimates, the slope of the land, vegetation, and soil quality. When I was younger I watched "Los Caballeros del Zodiaco" (a famous cartoon series) and they used to talk about "Qi". The higher your "Qi" is, the more powerful you are.

 I would like to know if Feng Shui tecnique really work eventhough I dont have those beautiful and expensive furmitures! I live alone and I am planning to change all the furmiture and follow all the tips. I will remove to the bathroom the mirrors I have  in my bedroom and in the livingroom. I am looking forward of painting the whole house with a new and nice color but first I should keep reading information about this Chinese tecnique. What are we waiting for!!!?? Lets put it in practice and tell me if you feel any difference!!

Toast to the tap: The water we drink.

In the past, people used to drink water from the faucet but nowaday it is very dangerous to drink water from the faucet because it has many impurities.

Selling water on the street with little trucks is a very good business because people are afraid of drinking water from the faucet. They say that the water that is sold in these little trucks or "camioncitos" is treated and it has less bacterias. It is better for some people because they have money to buy the water, but some people dont even have money to buy food and they have to use and drink water from the faucet (it is not a good idea) eventhough they dont die or get sick.

 There are many polluted rivers and some water treatment plants dont work properly, so I think that people shouldnt drink tap water. They should do the chores (cooking, washing, mopping, cleaning, ironing) with that type of water. In order to keep healthy, we should know where the water we drink comes from. We should all drink potable water such as: Planeta Azul, Dasani and other recognized water treatment plants.

I live in Pantoja. We have no problems with tap water because Isabela river is very close to us. Besides, We have our own water treatment plant and we have those "camioncito de agua" selling us water all the day but we dont buy any kind of water! We know which water to buy!

FENG SHUI

About this baby room, I think is a great option since i don´t think Baby would bother anyone having such a beatifull room, but I think i have to start working hard NOW.

What about the living room? isn´t it perfect? I want it but I´m afraid Feng Shui is for people with money, don´t you think? Ohhh Professor Pimentel!!! Why didn´t youu skip this lesson? Now I don´´t want to go home. Im Already dreaming with that bedroom.

THE WATER WE SHOULD HAVE HAD BEEN DRINKING

Last day I was surfing the web when i suddenly read someting saying; ¨Lets boycott bottle and turn on the tap¨ asking people to drink tap water since it is cheaper, and besides that the it is going keep the planet healthier, since they are not going to be using botle that last almost forever to decompose. and that the United States throw 30 millions of bottles DAILY. I wide opened my eyes and saikd that it would be great if could do the same at DR. That idea is wonderfull since I´m comitted to save my planet, but, can we say the same at DR? I think we can´t because if we dare to drink our tap water I´m afraid we are going to spend out life away from home, or from this life. I have a dream and it is that in a near future we could say ¨Let´s boycutt the bottled water and turn on the tap¨ THE CHOICE IS IN OUR HANDS.

Feng Shui

The energy of freshness is much emphasized in a good feng shui environment, be it a home, a gardenor an office. We use the word fresh a lot in our daily life, mostly referring to visible things. We say 'fresh apples' or 'fresh faces', 'fresh from the oven' or 'fresh from college'. 

Do you know how to distinguish fresh energy, though? Something not so visible to the naked eye? And, even more importantly, do you know how to create and maintain fresh feng shui energy (Chi) around you? 

Before we start exploring the many ways to clear and refresh the energy of your home, let me mention another quality of energy that has to be there for you. Gentleness and kindness go hand in hand with freshness; one cannot create fresh beautiful energy if the gentleness is missing. 

This might sound strange, but give it just a bit of thought, and you will realize that without kindness no genuine freshness is possible. And yes, it starts with you. When you are kind to yourself and those near you - be it people, animals, plants (even your alarm clock early in the morning!) - you help spread the most healing energy there is. 

And now, let's go explore how you can quickly refresh the energy in your house with one simplespace clearing session! Let's also look into the use of air-purifying plants, crystals and essential oils to help maintain fresh & vibrant energy. 

Happy Earth Day!
