Feng Shui Your Home

In Feng Shui, the high temperatures and bright sunshine of summer are linked with hot, yang energy. Focus on rearranging the Feng Shui décor for summer and cooling down your home by adding the counterbalancing yin, or quieter, energy.

Here are some of our favourite summer tips to balance the yin and yang energies of the summer:

• Balance your home décor with lighter accents of pale green or icy blue if your home décor colours are hot, like reds, oranges or purples. This will have a calm and cooling effect.
• Hang a crystal from the pull chain to lessen the harsh corkscrew energy of the ceiling fan located straight over your bed as it can cause pain or illness.
• Your deck or porch is considered a part of your home in Feng Shui. Choose top-quality outdoor furniture and keep it clean and in good condition all through the summer.
• People affected by an imbalance of fire energy can feel dehydrated, listless and dry. You can balance this energy by setting up a table top fountain. This will relieve the dehydrated feeling while introducing water energy.
• For your outdoor space, opt for plants in blue or purple varieties in the wealth corner and pink, red and white flowers in the marriage and romance corner. If you have a fence, it would be great to paint it in red, green, or black.
• Fresh green is a must-have colour in the house during summers. Green is symbolic of career advancement, growth and healing. An easy way to add fresh green into any room is with succulents, bamboo or a green vase filled with fresh lilies.
• Coral is another favourite summer shade. Coral is a very soothing colour that is associated with beauty and calmness. Using coral pillows and coral colour candles in the master bedroom will add that extra spark.

This summer, incorporate these Feng Shui décor ideas in your home for great energy and style.

Reiki for Success in Exams

During examinations, some students may feel more stressed out than others. If you are one of those, or you know someone who feels that way, worry not. Reiki has some tips that can ease the experience and help one maximise their focus and nurture their concentration, so they can undertake the exams with a clear and steady mind.

Decrease Mental Stress
Anyone who is going to attend an exam may face some mental stress. This mental stress may affect one adversely in the preparation for their exams. You can relieve your mental stress and remove your mental blockages by placing your healing hands on your crown chakra, heart chakra, throat chakra and brow chakra. Your power of healing will dissolve all your mental blockages and charge your chakras to cure you from whatever mental stress you have.

Improve your Concentration
Concentration is the common problem with most students. Place your healing hand on your forehead to activate your pituitary gland to harmonize the functions of all other endocrine glands. Reiki will bring clarity in your thinking and make you concentrate better.

Improve your Memory
The power of retaining one's memory is essential when answering an exam. The brain or encephalon is the main organ of your body responsible for memory. You can activate your brain and improve your memory power by placing both your hands over your two hemispheres of the brain (either side of the brain). It will stimulate the memory centre by passing the energy. You can also do it while studying.

Improve your Logical Thinking
During exam preparations, piles of pressure and tension affect your mental ability. These factors reduce your capacity to think coherently. To get clarity in thinking and expression, you have to concentrate on your vishudha chakra or throat plexus. Give Reiki to this energy centre to improve your logical thinking, creativity and writing for better performance in your examination.

We hope that you find these tips helpful and can implement these fruitful techniques of Reiki to achieve success in your exams.

Follow the guidelines mentioned below to find the perfect farm land and reap maximum benefits:

• Avoid choosing a land with the road on the south while looking for a plot for agricultural purposes.

• Pick a land that is rectangular or square in shape.
• Land extended towards the north-east is auspicious. However, extension in any other direction is not good as per the rules of Vaastu.

• The ideal place to place the thrasher machine, the bullock cart and other vehicles is in the north-west or the north direction. Refrain from keeping these in the north-east corner.
• Animals should be on the west or north-west direction of the farm. They should be placed in such a way that they face north or east when tied to the rope. No animal should face south in the farm.
• Place a tulsi plant in the north-east corner of the farm.
