Balance
The Feng Shui Cover Your Butt Cure
You can bring balance to your home in any gua by using each of the elements: wood, fire, earth, metal and water.
For example, a wrought iron (metal) table with a glass (water) top, holding a plant (earth), a wooden (wood) picture frame, and a candle (fire).
You can use this cure in any section of your house, especially if you have a feng shui situation that you can’t figure out. Each of the five elements is equally represented as a cure in this way.

5 extra minutes
Still working in the General Health area of our homes:
This area is the epitome of balance of the yin and yang energies. If your physical body is in balance, you can “give it your all” and achieve everything you set out to do. This area reaches out and touches all the other eight guas of the home.
Declutter activity for today:
Take a minute to look around the areas of your house. Which area still needs a little extra work? Set your timer for five minutes and get to work decluttering and balancing that area. You know what needs to be done!
After five minutes, stop! That’s it for today!
Note from twofeathers:
I wanted an image to illustrate this post, so I put the words “5 extra minutes” into a yahoo search for images and came up with this! The web page title is: Villa with pool at 5 star Altea holiday resort.
And I thought.. wow. This is the kind of thing we are working towards as we work the Prosperity Project. This is the carrot at the end of the stick. So I decided to post it with the suggestion that as we clean, we remember WHY we are cleaning.

General and healing area – an overview
Moving into the General Health area of our homes
Bringing balance to the center of our homes will bring:
- More optimal health
- A sense of balance in life
- Betterment in all life situations
While this may sound really short, and not very important, consider this: If you are not feeling healthy and well, you will not be able to enjoy your prosperity. If you do not have a sense of balance in life, you will find yourself constantly struggling to keep up with this and let go of that. If you seek betterment in all of your life situations, the prosperity and well being you achieve will be well grounded, well founded, and of a much more permanent nature.

What is Feng Shui?
I found this definition of Feng Shui from Wikipedia:
Feng Shui is a Chinese belief system involving a mix of geographical, religious, philosophical, mathematical, aesthetic, and astrological ideas. It literally means “wind (feng) and water (shui)”, and is not simply a decorating style, but a discipline with guidelines compatible with many different decorating styles.
Feng Shui (pronounced “fung shway”) is the ancient Chinese practice of placement and arrangement of space to achieve harmony with the environment. The literal translation is “wind and water”.
The source of the term is purported to come from the Burial Book written by Guo Pu in the Jin Dynasty. Qi (or Chi) rides the wind and stops when it meets the boundary of water. The ancients could manipulate Qi so that it did not dissipate, and directed it so that it was retained. For this reason this art is called Feng Shui.
For a place to have “good Feng Shui” is for it to be in harmony with nature, and to have “bad Feng Shui” is to be incongruous with nature. Although people aren’t usually described as having good or bad Feng Shui themselves, believers in feng shui say that certain people by force of personality or visual appearance are able to add or subtract from the Feng Shui of their surroundings.
There is quite a bit more information, and if you are interested here is the link: Feng Shui. I found another definition at About.com:
“Feng Shui teaches us how to create harmony and balance around us,” says Stanley Bartlett, who uses the centuries-old art to design homes and businesses. “Everything is related to everything. If we pay attention to our environment, then we will find ways of creating different realities in our lives. When we move the bed, we also change our relationship with things around us in ways there aren’t words for.”
Feng Shui is the ancient art of placement. Your personal belongings in the home are positioned in a specific arrangement to enhance chi to bring harmony and balance to your life. Chi is an invisible energy that swirls around us at all times. Feng Shui translated literally means wind and water because the chi travels on the air and water currents.
The main purpose of utilizing the Feng Shui principles is to bring harmony and balance into your home.
