Blue in Feng Shui

The blue which we can use for proper Feng Shui ranges from a gentle blue which looks like a wide sky and a blue-green which looks like the surface of the ocean, all the way to a deep indigo blue which we might find on the water surface as the night draws close. It's appropriate that it resembles the seaside because according to Feng Shui's theory of five elements the colour represents the water Feng Shui element. This colour brings the energy of stillness and serenity, properties associated with clear, healthy water, and thus gives an overall ambience of rejuvenation.

Now while all these properties sound great and it wouldn't feel wrong to plaster it all over the house, there are some subtleties to the colours which you cannot ignore.

A lighter blue is seen as the Feng Shui colour of peaceful, positive growth. This means that it would feel right in place as the colour of a home office, or for a child's study area. If you think about it, people have always sought out the seafront to think about ideas without the clutter of external inputs. That's why we suggest using this lighter blue as a ceiling colour, because it evokes the energy of the sky, brimming with infinite possibilities and positive motivation. Some studies have even showed that children performed better in school when their rooms were under a blue ceiling, as opposed to a white one.

A darker blue on the other hand invokes the energies of contemplation, intelligence, and relaxation. This means that you might want to introduce it to your bedroom, a place where one usually retires while thinking about the day that just went by, and where you'd like to be able to relax to your heart's content.

As a takeaway, try combining blue and white for a very effective calming feel. Open skies, a free spirit, and a little reminiscent of Greece - you're surely going to find that it makes a difference!

Reiki For Eye Conditions!

Eyes are the most important sense organ of our body. We get most of our information about things around us from our sense of sight. However, we often tend to overlook the health of our eyes. It is observed that everyone experiences some type of eye problem at some point in their life.

Reiki is a very effective holistic treatment for any eye problem. It works on all energetic levels – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. According to Reiki, the reason for illness exists in one of these four levels. As all the levels are interconnected, it is treated as a whole and the remedy is targeted to provide true healing by bringing back all levels into harmony and balancing it.

The following healing technique is very effective in healing all types of eye problems, be it cataract, myopia (short-sight), glaucoma, conjunctivitis, trachoma etc.

What you need to do is heal the eye balls, inner and outer corners of the eyes, and back brow chakra. In addition to this, you may also heal crown chakra, brow chakra, kidneys, liver, womb and ovaries. No matter what, remember to treat both the eyes. Use Reiki symbols to activate and enhance the Reiki energy flow.

For eye-related problems, place your hands parallel to the right and left of the nose, from the forehead to the region of the top teeth. By using the symbols, you can achieve better result. Wearing an energised amethyst crystal specifically charged for healing the eyes and drinking charged water can also help in the healing process.

By practicing Reiki every day, you can tap into your body's natural ability to balance, relieve stress and heighten the senses, including your eyesight. Anyone who has taken Reiki attunement can practise Reiki.

Good eyesight is a gift. It not only helps seeing what is in front of us but also allows for insight and foresight. Experience the magic of Reiki in your life!

Vaastu For Kid's Room

For a child, it's imperative that the aura created is one that relaxes their mind and improves their thinking, while at the same time surrounding them with positive energy. According to Vaastu, brighter colours have a better place in a child's room. Absolutely avoid darker shades like black or grey as these can impede on the positivity and openness that we are trying to bring into the room. Brighter shades like green, purple, orange, yellow, and light blue are ideal.

And emphasising on one colour, green is the recommended colour for a child's room, especially the study room. A lot of us have memories of sitting in a classroom and looking outside the windows at the trees. Unfortunately, it is usually cut short because you have to focus in the classroom too! But what was so soothing about looking outside was natural green which came off the leaves and the plants. That organic green has a natural soothing effect, probably because our primal minds are tired of the computers and the cars and the skyscrapers.

That's why it makes sense in a child's study room.

And now that you have your colour sorted, you also have to figure out how to show it. If bright colours are your thing, don't get your south-facing or west-facing walls painted in a bright colour. The same applies to even doors and windows. It's even suggested that you keep these doors and windows shut so that light coming in from that side does not exaggerate the bedroom area colours. If you are going with blue, often seen as a calming colour, ensure that you don't have a window in the north direction. And if the room gets a lot of direct sunlight, yellow and orange should be avoided.

So there you have it! These formative years can be integral in a child's life, and it always pays to take care of everything around them.
