Energise your home office with Feng Shui!

It is very easy to Feng Shui your home office when you understand the basic Feng Shui principles. Read few tips and tricks to help you with it:

Place Your Desk in 'Command Position'

Wondering what the 'command position' is? Simply put, it is the position when sitting at your desk that puts you most in command of both your area and your work. This position stems from an ingrained need to have visible control over your surroundings.

If your work needs creativity, it would be ideal to have a view of the door from the chair, a solid wall behind you, and a pretty view out of a window. If your present room does not have this set-up, you might have to move your desk to another room. You could place a mirror in your room where you are able to see the door from your desk.

Even if you use your lap or a counter and not a desk, it is important to face the entrance from where you are working to feel the most in control and confident in your area.

Pay Attention to Your Southeast Corner

The southeast point of both your desk and your room should be set with items that are in balance with the southeast energies. As southeast is also the wealth corner, a small table top water fountain or a pretty potted flower next to a small fish tank would work to maximize the energy.

Highlight Your South Wall

Since the South area is the 'fame' area of Feng Shui, this is where you should focus all of your personal and professional accolades and accomplishments.

Become Colour Wise!

Colours play an important role in Feng Shui. Try a combination of gold and red or gold and lavender. If painting your home office in these colours is not possible, you can still add these colours by using pictures, wall hangings, art pieces, pillows, throws and flowers. You can opt for other colour combinations like yellow and red, orange and purple or grey and brown also.

Say Bye To Your Skin Problems With The Magical Touch Of Reiki!

Skin conditions can be caused due to deep emotional imbalances as well as low self-esteem. It may also result from infection, a chronic skin condition, or contact with any irritant or allergen. You can try Reiki as an alternative or a complementary therapy to help relieve the symptoms of the skin condition. It is not necessarily a substitute for conventional treatments or medication, but it can work wonderfully alongside other treatments. This means that you can opt for Reiki healing in conjunction with your skin ointments and medication.

It may help manage your stress that can worsen your skin condition. It has a calming, soothing and deeply relaxing effect on the mind and body. By reducing stress and anxiety, the body can start to function more efficiently and enable its own healing process to improve the situation. The positive benefits are more than just skin deep and will have a greater effect with regular treatments.

It is a pure love system of healing which imparts gentle, balancing and purifying energies. A proper skin purifying program along with regular Reiki treatments can be a great healing therapy for skin conditions. A one hour Reiki treatment can bring deep relaxing peace, balance, clarity and healing for body, mind, emotions and spirit.

It can accelerate healing by clearing the energy field/auric field of toxic emotions, thereby allowing your physical body to clear and heal. Interestingly, you do not need to believe in Reiki in order to receive benefits. This universal life force energy is accessible to all life on our planet Earth, regardless of belief system, race, status or mind-set. Isn't that wonderful?

We hope you find this article insightful. Though Reiki does not promise a miraculous cure from your skin disease, it is sure to help change lives for the better!

Sleep plays a significant role in keeping you healthy, fit and energetic. However, if you have a disturbed sleep, you wake up several times at night or you have to rely on sleeping pills, this is an issue that you need to pay attention to. Having constant nightmares can become a problem in deep sleep too as all of this can take a toll on your energy, mood, health, and ability to function the whole day.

• The head should never face the North direction while sleeping. Have you ever wondered why people are told so and what the logic behind this is? It is because of the magnetic pull of Earth and the iron in our blood. It causes unnecessary pressure on the brain which may lead to disturbed sleep and health issues.
• Only a dead individual's head is kept towards the North. If one sleeps in this position, then he/she is believed to face major sickness and remain sleep deprived.
• If you ask the elders in your family, they will always suggest sleeping with the head facing south. This is probably the best sleeping position according to several cultures as well as traditions. Vaastu says sleeping in this position can make you rich and healthy, filling your life with happiness and prosperity. Sleeping in the south direction is believed to give you peace of mind as the direction is associated with positive energy.
• It is recommended that the head be placed towards the East for an undisturbed sleep. Sleeping with head in the East is believed to help with concentration, increase memory, good health and inclination towards spirituality. As per Vaastu Shastra, students are advised to sleep with their head in the East direction in order to increase memory, concentration and retention power of the brain.
