Feng Shui

Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese art of Placement.

The translation is wind (Feng) and water (Shui), the moving energies of our Earth.

Feng Shui is the interaction of people with their environment and how we create harmonious spaces that improve the quality of our lives.

When the energy (chi’) flows smoothly, people living and working in an environment will enjoy improved health, better relationships, and attract more abundance in all areas of their life. Most people are aware of this energy in their homes and can feel it when something doesn’t feel right.

We can determine where the issue or block may be by placing the Bagua (an energetic grid withnine9 sections) over a building or room.

There is much more to Feng Shui, too much to explain here.

Clutter can be a block, so I suggest people simplify and let go of items that are not used or loved.

Adding Feng Shui to your design plan will add an intentional layer that aligns your home to the life you want to create and deserve.

Feng Shui and Simplifying

Feng Shui is about locating the best place to live and work, so you and your family will prosper, be healthy, and succeed in life. Feng Shui is also about energy flow and how this flow makes us feel refreshed daily.

The Chinese words “Feng” and “Shui” translate to mean “wind” and “water,” which are the two moving energies of our universe. This energy flow is best moving in a meandering way, like a gentle breeze or a bubbling stream.

Blocks of any kind will hinder this good flow of energy. This energy makes us feel revived each day, making us want to walk, exercise, and eat well. This energy creates better relationships, improved finances, good health, and sound sleep.

Some blocks to this life-giving energy would be overgrown shrubs to your front door, blocked doors, furniture in the wrong places, and clutter of all kinds.

To simplify means to live a simpler life and have less stuff to impede this energy flow. When the home or office is clear, everything runs smoother.

Join me on your journey to create more freedom in your home or office life by using this ancient art of Feng Shui in a way that fits our modern world.

Yin and Yang

The Yin/Yang Theory

The theory of Yin and Yang in Feng Shui balances the elements in a space. Yin and Yang are opposing energies of the universe; one side cannot exist without the other, like night and day, hot and cold.

Yin is receptive, feminine, intuitive, expansive, relaxed, and accepting. An example is too many carpets, curtains, rugs, darker colors, and so on.

Too much yin can cause us to be unmotivated and lazy.

Yang is fast, masculine, demanding, focused, goal setting, dynamic, and determined. An example is too many hard surfaces, hard furniture, very bright colors, loud music.

Too much Yang can cause us to become insensitive, lose touch with ourselves and our emotions and become rigid.

A balance of 60% yang (hard surfaces, bright lights, wood floors) and 40% yin (rugs, candles, cushions) is suitable for most homes. Yang energy is more suited to a business setting.

The Five Elements-Cycle of Life

Wood: Wood Feeds Fire. Represents Springtime, New Growth, New Ideas, Fresh Starts. Trees and Foliage.

Fire: Fires create Earth (ashes) High Summer, Socializing, Love, Clarity, The Sun.

Earth: Earth condenses Minerals to Metal. Late Summer/Early Fall. Enjoying the Sweet Fruits and the Last Days of the Summer. Nourishing, Caring, Family.

Metal: Metal Channels Water. Late Fall. Gathering. Precision, Beauty, Organization. Iron, Copper, Polished Stones.

Water: Water Feeds Wood. Winter, Bodies of Water, Contemplation, Depth, Hibernation.

Clutter blocks the energy flow in a space, and clearing it transforms us and the space.

I love working with Carmel for coaching. She has made such a difference in my life by coaching me through negative beliefs and emotional blocks that I have had for decades. Her powerful questions and processes have provided me tools for each day of my life and have helped me move forward to abundance and joy. I now look forward to each day instead of dreading getting up. I am so grateful for her calm, caring and compassionate way in helping me to reach my dream of a fulfilling life. I would highly recommend Carmel.

Joan Visionary Life Coaching

I mentioned to Carmel that my eyes were irritating me and I had booked an appointment with my doctor. Carmel asked me what was in my Fame area. I said a window and a chair. She suggested I put a red (fire) or green (wood, feeds fire) cushion on the chair, which I did. She also asked me if the window was clean, I said it was not. Carmel recommended I clean the window which I did, with intent. The next day my eyes were so improved, I cancelled my Dr’s appointment.

Tara Life Coach

Carmel had a unique way of helping me get rid of stuff that I have held on to for many years. My first Feng Shui implement was to move my chair. She helped me implement many changes related to my health and finances. Some of the wonderful changes I attracted, was a new roof, new windows, and a near complete redo of my home which is now efficient and much easier to manage. Getting rid of clutter gave me the most freedom. My health is much better and my eyesight has improved as well. I cannot say enough about how Feng Shui, has improved my life.

Our home life is much more positive – it seems that once we started to make the changes that our lives have also become less cluttered and everything is more harmonious. Money rolls in from various sources, and we have better job opportunities

Carmel Advised to put a crystal where I had a issue with a wall. I put the crystal there and I believe it alerted us to a fire that started in a closet.

Thank you Carmel Malone-Quane for treating us to this wonderful Feng Shui workshop! We learned so much and had so much fun. Rita Cavanagh, Community Activist

Deena Amato-Mccoy We had a good time. Carmel, Daniella and I came home and relayed the info to my somewhat skeptical husband. But, by 9 pm, he cleared out ALL of the shoes stored under our bed and we have a huge bag ready to donate. The result: today, he got an assignment he didn’t expect, as well as a response to a work email that he has been waiting on for about two weeks…. Just sayin’…

It was fabulous. Got so really good ideas how to move the chi in my house. Thanks Carmel Malone-Quane!

Clearing out clutter to make room for the new has been a big theme for my “Older and Bolder” Women’s Mastermind. For this reason, I invited Feng Shui Expert, Carmel Malone-Quane, to one of our group sessions. Her presentation was both informative and engaging. She helped us deepen our understanding of how clutter can get in our way, and simple steps to deal with what can often be an overwhelming challenge. We loved Carmel’s approach, insights and knowledge, along with her warmth and caring. Since then we’ve all have been clearing our spaces with renewed vigour.

There’s no question that getting rid of clutter, allows you to create a more free, and rewarding present and future. Drawing on Feng Shui principles, along with other clutter clearing methods and tips, Carmel can help you do just that. I highly recommend her both as a presenter and as a coach.
