The Shade of Black

Black or any dark color give the feeling of deepness or depth. This is reflected in the mood and in various perspectives.

Black is also a bold color and worn by those who wish to be taken seriously. It is not so much the shade of black that is so pronounced rather the contrast that it provides. For example, wear a red tie with a gray suit and it looks fine. Wear it with a black suit and it “jumps” out.

Such is true whenever someone wears or “uses” black. Virtually all calligraphy is written in black, denoting the seriousness and clout that this shade has. The words that you are reading in this blog have more impact in black than all other colors or shades.

Black is for seriousness. Use it with caution and with purpose.

Nine Star Ki

In 1989, I attended a workshop that featured Feng Shui master Lin Yun in sunny San Diego. It was an outstanding several days worth of brilliant information. Toward the end of the seminar, he briefly mentioned in passing, a system called the 9 Star Ki or 9 Ki. Since it was at the end of a grueling, information packed weekend, most people dismissed it. I found it fascinating. Since that time, I have studied it in depth and applied it to various areas of my life.9 Star Ki is an Asian system of astrology that stems from the world of macrobiotics. Now when most people think of macrobiotics, they think of Michio Kuchi and his well known diet but that is just a fraction of what the word means. In short, it is a way of living.

9 Star Ki is as aspect of macrobiotics and very well could be the precursor to and foundation of such classics as the I Ching, acupuncture, mathematics and other arts and sciences. It is an elegant approach to understanding human character and interaction that is available today.

Now it is a part of House Diagnosis.

Hgh Plus and How House Diagnosis Helped This Business

More than a dozen years ago, we started a company that featured the anti aging, HGH releasing formula, Hgh Plus.

When you read this sentence, what images come to mind? A nice office with a newly hired staff? A fat bank account for marketing, complete with colorful brochures, business cards etc. Competent, energetic front office people answering the phones?  Well it was absolutely none of these. Not even close.

It was 2 people – my wife Lisa and yours truly – operating out of a 2 bed room apartment in Naples, FL with nothing but a $1000, a  great product and a lot of questions. Neither of us were trained in computer/Internet work, nor formally trained in marketing. We did have one big advantage – I knew Energy Work (which we would later call “House Diagnosis”) and in less than 2 years, we were in more than 40 countries with the best selling formula, Dr. Orman’s Hgh Plus.

How?

Firstly of course, there was a lot of hard work and learning, but one of the very first things we did was re-arrange our office. We faced our desks opposite each other so we could have our private space, and also blend our energies together. Using the analogy of a simple math formula, one plus one equaled five. Combining complimentary energies is a powerful strategy.

Secondly, we place big Post-It notes on the wall associated with money and prosperity. On the notes, we wrote out all of the things that needed to be done, from starting a corporation to building a web site to ordering shipping supplies. There were approximately 20 items on the list and Lisa took the ones that she did best and I took the ones that were a skill of mine. In other words, we featured our strengths, not “covered” our weaknesses.

We also added red thread in the corners of our office. From ceiling to floor, red thread was placed there, directly in the corner. Traditionally, this is symbolic of the connection between heaven and earth. Powerful symbolism yet very simple to do.

Finally, we always had a lit candle in the room. It would remind us to be present. When starting out and having a lot more bills than income, anxiety often comes to visit. Anxiety is an interesting character. He is very creativity in that he assists our minds in building usually worst case scenarios. Anxiety also influences our heart rate, perspiration levels and associated biochemical responses. One thing about Anxiety though — it cannot live in the Present moment. It must have a future-oriented scenario to survive. Something as simple as a candle helped to remind us that NOW is all there is. Tomorrow is just a concept.

Looking to start a new business? Improve an existing one. Take a course. Read a book. Interview other successful people.

Then do a House Diagnosis and watch your business succeed!

Your Neighbors: Incompatible Colors

Now you have a list of colors that are compatible with your house. You are happy with your energy and the energy around you.

What if you are on the flip side? What color patterns are NOT a mix? The combinations below are incompatible:

Blue or green    —    tan, brown, yellow or white

Gray or black   —   tan, brown, yellow, pink or red

Tan, brown or yellow   —   blue, green, gray or black

Pink or red   —   gray, black or white

White   —   blue, green, pink or red

These are the color combinations that are said to have a destructive pattern and can bring down the entire neighborhood. So what can be done?

That is the focus of our next article.

Your Neighbor

Maybe you are looking to move. You found the house and had it “diagnosed” and “cured.” You like the neighborhood, the school system and the swimming pool that is in the complex. What about the next door neighbors?

They may be great people. Is their house compatible with yours?

In the world of House Diagnosis, we ask these types of “odd: questions. House Diagnosis looks at compatible colors and what can be done to “cure” ones that are incompatible. The formula is:

If your house color is___________, that is compatible with _______________.

Here is a list of Compatible color schemes:

blue/ green – gray, black or reds

tan/brown/yellow — pink, red or white

pink/red – tan/brown/yellow/blue/green

white – tan/brown/yellow/gray/black

gray or black – blue/green/white

If the colors are compatible, the energy connection in the whole block will be ideal. In others words, you have one happy neighborhood. If not. . .

I will go over that in the next blog.

Another House Diagnosis

House Diagnosis #3

April 5, 2010

Pix 1 is the outside of the house. As you can see, it is in the shape of a “C” or horseshoe. The garage is the entrance was as it stands out from the rest. This would indicate that not many visitors come. One would conclude that you are a private person, letting few into your “inner circle” so to speak. The external color, along with the energy of the house (which is upward) would indicate a high level of intelligence and a preference to stay on the cerebral levels. People have to work hard, prove they can be trusted, go through this step again. . .and again. . .and maybe one more time before you let them in.

Before I continue, please note that this is neither “good” nor “bad.” Value judgments do not fit here. It is simply bringing aware and presentation of an opportunity to adjust or expand if desired. If not, that is fine as well.

Back to the regularly scheduled program here.

Note the present of the high hedges in front of the window. Again, this is an indication of guarding and protecting, and a tendency to think their way out of situation versus rely on instinct, inspiration or gut feeling(s).

I would add something like a wind chime on the left section. Keep the energy circulating. Water fountain would also work. This has the makings whereby energy could accumulate or stagnate. Over time, a build up could end up in a blow up. Also this is natural and a part of the human experience, this is a lot of energy which can be used for more enjoyable expressions. It could also lead to masses/lumps so keep the energy moving. Accumulation is not the way here.

There is also a sense of neatness and orderliness to it. The is a reflection of an aspect of you and can go in (at least) 2 roads. one road is to be so disciplined to the point of restrictive, not allowing fun to enter (especially if too much energy accumulates). The other road is discipline with movement, leading to accomplishments. Learning a new language, getting an advanced degree or completing a marathon would be examples of discipline with movement. THE key here is to make sure the energy is never allowed to accumulate, but rather flow smoothly or as smoothly as possible. Water is medicine for you. Water is medicine for your home. Feature this. Ex/ water fountain, pictures of MOVING water (never stagnant water), swimming etc. In ancient Europe, a person would have a container of water with them, placing it in between him/her and the person they were speaking to. At the end of the day, they would toss that water out in a “dead” area such as a swamp (vs. their back yard with the beautiful plants)  Water accumulates and attracts energy. Knowing this, use it to your advantage.

Pix 2. This is the one with the horse, so let’s start there. It is a beautiful piece and as such, can be featured more so. Horse represents power, strength and freedom (particularly the latter). Right now, it is being placed on the sidelines, symbolic of the freedom you are seeking, being placed on the sidelines. Both this picture and the prior one represents a battle of sorts.

There is a part of you that wants to run free like the horse. There is a part of you that is constrained or restricted. Right now, based on this, the latter is winning out. If you are desiring that, change nothing in this room. If you want more of the ” freedom to fly” energy, feature the horse. I am guessing, based on the colors chosen that the horse is one of your archetype creatures; that is, this magnificent animal represent characteristics that you both admire and desire. If you picked an animal to be, it would probably be the horse. Eagle would be the other choice.

This is a very balanced room. The yin and yang are both represented, with yin being more featured. This indicates a ton of potential creativity waiting to be unleashed. An analogy would be this. You are walking up to the ocean, dipping you toes in and then pulling back. Next time, you go up to your knees and pull back. Now this may simply be your style – paced, steady.  Adding more yang or action into the mix would be a major shake up. A MAJOR shake up. Again, for some, this is not their style. You are the painter. Paint your image your way.

This room should be reversed, with the couch on the opposite side and the metallic stand reversed.

I also notice the small cross on the lamp. Regardless of one’s beliefs this is a strong symbol carrying much meaning. Feature it.

Finally, make this room more open. Like the prior picture, there is a circular “horseshoe” semi- closed-ness (how it that for a word) to it. Part of the challenge with closed is that while preventing the unwanted from entering, it also prevents the desired from getting out. Open this up and let the world know who you are, what you can do. Some will like it. Some will love it. Others will not respond. That is fine. The feeling derived from those who love and those who like you will be overwhelming. Their lives in turn, will benefit from you being in it as well.

OPEN is the word of the day. Make it your mantra. TRUST is #2. This energy will attract those you want and repel those you do not. The latter will not be able to handle the strength and the light.

Pix #3. The theme of horseshoe continues in this room. Add light and either a mirror or mirror-like surfaces (like a coffee maker) which reflects openness and makes the space more freeing.  The shiny surface in front can serve this function as well. Keep it free from everything, with the exception of a red plant. Make it bright and place it right smack in the middle. Adding fire to the metal will begin to soften the exterior. Over time, you will find the need to remove the plant (red) and replace it. It may take a month or a year or ??? Observe. Don’t force. When it is replaced, do so with something purple. This will allow your metal energy (intellect) to feel your water energy. You will find more and more and more courage. You will FEEL it, not think it or be logical about it. It may be scary in the beginning but this too is an opportunity to practice courage. You have it already and exhibit it in very orderly, precise, almost compartmental ways. Think of a tic-tack-toe board. You use it in the middle and the lower right and to the left or something like this. Remove the compartments and allow the horse to run free. The horse (energy) cannot be contained, lest his/her spirit be broken. To break a horse’s spirit is a crime. To allow the horse to be a horse is a blessing to self and to others. We are waiting for you!

Find creative ways of “playing” with the metal objects such as the refrigerator. Add something that you never would like a magnet (which will probably drive you bananas initially). Eventually it will be a source of smiles. Not in the beginning.

Cover some of the metal surfaces will cloth (purple or green). Add some candles that are lit at times.

You have done a great job overall with the house. There is a bit of a house feel to it. Create more a home. Do so by adding your signature, not the way “the books say to do it.” Mix and match because it feels right. Or because you like it, Martha Steward be damned. Your home reflects an elegance and this is a part of you. It will not change, nor should it. Elegance can go a bit far and turn into sterile. You do not want this to happen so be sure to add YOU to the mix.  Use the freedom of the horse energy to assist you. he end result will be magic.

Nothing short of magic.

The end.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you.

New Diagnosed Home

Basic Outline:
1. Each room will be “diagnosed” and a “cure” provided. There is no particular order, mainly because I don’t think that way.
2. Overall evaluation as a whole

Room 1. Living Room. The first room looks like a living room and is dominated by the color gold/yellow. This is an indication that this room would be best service to create ideas, do creative business (vs. just billing paying for example) and talk with and to inspiring people.

One should avoid eating in this room and it will lend itself to overindulging, particularly of sweets. Having tea(s) or coffee would be fine, particularly medicinal ones. It is NOT conducive to reflection, meditation or anything of a quiet nature. The room’s core energy is active and it would be both difficult to be calm and one would be swimming up stream, so to speak.

It is an Earth room. The Earth element is suited for problem solving creativity but not innovation. One may find themselves singing in this room more than others, or carrying on internal dialogues. The energy is designed to be very active. Having said that, the way it is situated, the energy is blocked.

The “diagnosis” of this room is blockage of chi. Earth has a circular energy and the design of the couch/chair/desk is an attempt to circulate this energy naturally. However, the clutter is stopping it.

In addition to the blockage, there is a stagnation of chi and to a degree, blood. This is metaphorical obviously but can also be reflective of one’s chemistry. To review, men (or yang energy) are creatures of chi and women (or yin energy) are creatures of blood.

Looking at a room like this, one can surmise that blood stagnation related obviously to one’s cycle would be likely. A trend toward anemia or at least low blood and thus, low energy would also be commonplace. Moving the couch closer to the window and up against the wall, the chair in the opposite corner and angled and the desk looking out toward the window (if possible) is much more therapeutic. It will assist the physical, you will be more productive and the room will have a much different feel.

There is also a dark quality to the room, despite the light color of the wall paint. Part of it is that the curtains are closed, as it may be too bright (conserve energy and co$t and other practical reasons), but allowing more sunlight in would be most helpful. Even just a little more, particularly when you are working.

The Wood energy is piercing the Earth. As such, dietary, vision, joint and digestive issues would need to be guarded against. Particularly. . . . stabbing or sharp pains with digestion, injuries or issues related to tendons and ligaments, problems with vision (both physical and “psychological,” with the latter being characterized by statements such as “I cannot SEE where I am headed.” Or “The future is cloudy” etc.)

The element that would serve as a buffer and transition point is Fire and there are no traces of fire to any degree. This leads to the topic of motivation; that is, one would find it increasingly more difficult to get moving, despite having hobbies or activities that interest them.

The treatments for this room:

1- Remove some of the furniture. Sell it, give it away or chop it for firewood.  Open the curtains to allow some light, some fire.
2. Add some color red to the room, be it a red candle, red throw rug, blanket etc. It should NOT be the dominant color but must have a place. Think about 20% or so.
3. Be diligent in keeping things orderly and just as important, moving. Having a fan, wind chime or small water fountain would be ideal.

This room is reflective of the Red Bird. The Red Bird is newness, creation, east, dreams or things to strive for, desired goals, objects, places (like I want to go on a vacation to Fiji or something akin to this). The Red Bird must move (exercised if you will). Movement also implies an abundance of new ideas. . .out with the old, in with the new.

Circles and rounded irregular shapes would also be ideal. Ovals for example. Painting, designs, rugs etc., of an off-round nature would be helpful.

There is a cord or lead or something black that looks like a snake coming into the picture.  This is highly symbolic. It is representative of a person or situation . . . probably one individual (vs. group or organization. . . or store owners who is willingly or unwilling, knowingly or unknowingly, holding you back. You are wanting to change and they are wanting the status quo. For example, an employer who wants to keep you in the same job and not have you break the barriers. A competitor who wants you in 2nd place, the “way it always is.” It is mostly likely outside their consciousness but will eventually lead to a major change for you (new job, different race events etc.). The time frame is about 6 months. Max of 12. No more. This is destiny and cannot be avoided, as it is his/her issue, not yours. Just like the direction is the Red Bird, you are the Bird and it is the nature of the bird to fly.

#2. The picture of the outside/patio.

This is another example of Wood piercing Earth. The theme continues. Since you probably have little input in this area, minimal changes can be made. Keeping water outside in some form will help. Also, keeping a coin (could be a penny) outside in this area will help as well. IF a home is what you desire, it will find you by Christmas. If it is not what you desire, the energy will transmute into money or gifts.

The fact that the flowers appear to be red is a very good sign. It will offset the intensity of Wood and the monotony of Earth, creating a balance of the two. This is a great area for future preparation, personal growth and that which you can take action on. It would not be the greatest for inspiration, dreaming or writing something creative like poetry.

#3. The kitchen. The theme continues here in part 3.

Firstly, note the appearance of the “snake.” This is a reinforcement of the prior prediction. it is inevitable and though it may or may not be emotionally difficult, would be EXTREMELY advantageous for you to say the very least. The leash is off and the tiger will roam free.

Freedom is a power word for you. Based on this, it is something that is desired but not present. . . yet. Or at least not to the degree that you desire. The presence of the bikes in the area of the Green Dragon is proof of this. Bikes, the first sign of the element Metal, are indicative of both intellect and movement. One would say that you are not being challenged intellectually in many areas of your life. you are very intelligent and like a muscle, this needs to be exercised.

You are taking a vice president approach when you are the leader of the pack. Second fiddle is not your Tao. Actually, being in an orchestra is not your Tao either. You tend toward a  solo act or at worse, small group(s) and those people and situations that both support and appreciate your solo career will be your greatest sources of happiness, inspiration and happiness. And happiness. Did I mention happiness?! They will trigger the inner, best version of you and over time, you will not recognize you. Nor will others. Some will not like this and try their best to maintain status quo, consciously or otherwise. Some will smile the biggest smile because on many levels, they/we have been waiting for THIS you. This is by no meaning implying that any other version was anything less than the perfect you for that time. . . It means that times are changing and you are changing with them. In fact, you are leading a change.

Congestion is present here too and thus the liver would have a tendency toward this issue. Frustration, depression and/or anger would be the end result. The Dragon is being caged and this is unacceptable.

The cures are simple. Organize and remove clutter. Add some (or at least one plant, particularly something red). If you choose to keep the bikes where they are, have them facing the door. Right now, they are in conflict. One would say that there is a part of you that wants to ride or do events and another part does not. This is causing blockage and some inner turmoil.

Remove as many things as possible that are mirrors, mirror like or reflect. These should be placed in the living area. (In fact, place a mirror under your check book and bank statements.)

As you can see, there is a common thread. . . A lot of energy. . . a lot of energy being blocked.

#4 The bedroom. This the area of the White Tiger.

The “diagnosis” would be that this person has a lot of thoughts, some organized, some not. . . a lot of ideas, some organized, some not. . . and it is not being maximized or utilized properly. In terms of physics, this is the ultimate example of potential energy.

One would say that insomnia and/or sleep disturbance is commonplace. If this is overcome, light/less than refreshing sleeps are more common.

Here yin should dominate. Purple, soft metallic frames, black and white photos etc., would be helpful. A soft candle or light would be ideal. If possible, cover the window with a darker (purple or dark blue) curtain.

The light is shining in but going to an empty space. The symbolism here is strong and as such, use it to your advantage. Place an image either of you or how you want to be. . .ex/ the soaring eagle, the phoenix rising, the butterfly from the cocoon etc.. . and let the yang sun light this up. Throw the spotlight on you. You have been in the shadows too long or at least not in the direct sun. Your energy will soar and your Spirit will jump for joy.

The wooden dresser should be covered with a cloth, preferably light blue or a shade that matches. Lighter is better vs. dark.

Place a bowl of water on this as well. Peaceful, inspirational dreams will come to you regularly and you will also experience the deepest sleeps you have had in years.

A status of Kwan Yin, Jesus, Buddha or ____________ would also be great here. This is a sacred place and thus, treat it so. It is your “holy” place in your home. A Taoist alter, complete with incense, red carnations and fruit would also be great. It need not be large, nor expensive. It just need to be both YOU and sacred. Bless it and it will become that.

Have nothing stored or hidden under the bed. Sacred places have no secrets. This will be very freeing to you over time. Unlike the bowl of water (which will have an immediate if not instant impact) will will slowly wash over you. You already are comfortable in your skin. You will become even more so.

Overall. . .

1- Too much congestion and blockages. This diagnosis is Liver Qi Yu or liver energy stagnation.
2 – Major Earth dominance at the expense of all others. Very little fire, metal or water is present.
3 – Lots of Yin, not so much Yang. One would have a hard time getting moving, getting started. Inertia would not be your best friend. Being consistent would be a challenge.
4.- MAJOR change in the next 6 months. 12 at the most. It is destiny and cannot be avoided. Though it may evoke anxiety, it is absolutely the very best thing that will happen to you. It is like having to cross over cracked glass. . .to get the willing lottery ticket. It you are patient, pick your spots, continuously move, the glass will not touch you.

Questions? Let me know.

If you need help moving furniture etc., also. . .let me know. I will have Lisa come right over .

Another Diagnosed House

Another House Diagnosis

March 31,

Here is the house diagnosis. For this, I pick 3 rooms and go from here. I will use the first 3 you have photos. On a side note, you have beautiful home.

Here we go. . . . . . . .

Picture 1. This appear to be the kitchen area. The colors are neatly balanced for this area. Ideally, the should be yellow/brown/golden which your are. Perfect. This would indicate that the person (I do not know your living arrangements so I will simply refer “the person.” It also make it easier for me to be truthful so please forgive the formality and impersonal nature.) Getting back on track. . .

Your colors are ideal. This would indicate that the person has a healthy relationship with food. My guess is that they are at or very close to their ideal weight and pretty much have been their whole life. The physique would tend toward muscle, particular if male(s) were at all involved or had any input in the color scheme. If female (exclusively), muscularity would be easier to achieve. They would tend to be very physical; that is, not only active, but their way of speaking, moving, and overall being is one of movement.

I would also think this person either is or could (should?) be in the speaking or singing world. Voice is the key. Some people express their thoughts via poetry. Others via gardening or some other way of artistry. You would be well via the word, be it written, spoken or sung.

I seem to remember somewhere back in the data banks of my brain that I thought you were an artist, or at least an artist at heart. I would reiterate this to the Nth degree. This is an area I would encourage you to explore, if you are not already. Look into fine arts in particular. I would look at a painting and see a blue cat and wonder why anyone would paint a blue cat. You would see the meaning and delve into the artist’s mind etc.

The one thing about this room that could be “corrected” so to speak . . . . Notice that most of the energy is low. If problems arise from a physical point of view, they would be from the waist below. It would be rare to have issues above the waist (such as headaches or eye problems, more than on occasion.). Look to elevate the energy of this room. For example the 2 pictures that are currently side by side, it would be better to have them either in the middle or one top of the other. It would look like a faux window of sorts and start the energy upward.

The fact that one side is lit while the other is not is also important. It would indicate a trend toward imbalance in one’s life; that is, all work and no play or vice verse. Something along those lines. Since it is in the kitchen which represents the Earth and the Center, being grounded would be needed. One would live on the edges of life, versus staying close to the center (something yours truly can deeply related to). This is not going to change. Accept that this is you, or at least a facet of you. The key would be to use it to your advantage. When things are on “high,” REALLY kick it in gear. Do as much, create as much, take risks etc. When things are on “low” REALLY use this time to rejuvenate and rest. And rest some more. Balance need not be 50/50. That is stagnation. Balance can look 80/20 or any other ratio, IF and only IF that is the real you. The term I use is Tao which means the Way. Sooo, follow the Tao of Lori. Do things your way, based on your hunches, feelings and inspirations and you will continue to excel. Speaking of which, this room would also indicate that one is doing well in their financial life but there may be one main “leak” that needs to be plugged. It could be a good stock pick or investment house or something along those lines. It could be the current economic climate as well. In any event, move the 2 trash containers under the sink. Also on occasion, place a lit candle in this area, preferably on the right side.

On the tops of the cabinet, add something red. It can be a plastic flower, a picture etc. Just make sure there is some red in the area, preferably on top. This is Fire element which will aid in digestion. Also Fire is considered the mother of Earth and will stimulate your core. Don’t be too surprised if this shakes up your relationship, romantic or friendships. Keep yours eyes open from now until June in particular.

I am using Pic #3 for the next portion. This looks like a combo office/living room or something akin to this. Firstly, if you use this area to relax AND pay bills, or create AND pay bills or do finances, there would be a main conflict. Despite the peaceful color, it can lead to conflict and tension — not so much with others as it does with yourself and with your Muse. Either separate if you can or use X time block only for bill paying and finances. . . and Y times for creating. Sit in different chairs for different tasks.

This is a room that is considered the Water element. It is an opportunity to create and to practice being courageous. It can be fear inducing at times (new projects/ Will they work? for example. . . .) but that is fine. At the end of the time, your kidneys will be strong. Kidneys are considered the house of courage and you are undoubtedly, a courageous woman. I can bet the house on this without even meeting you. You have undoubtedly had some great successes and really good failures. Regarding the latter, the adage “7 times down, 8 times up” was written for you. Or maybe BY you.

Black is also a water color. The table being black is ideal. Greatness has been and will continue to be achieved here. This is THE area in the home where you have a direct line to the best parts of you.

Notice the green on the computer screen. This is the Wood element. Water nourishes wood so this room is ideally suited for creativity. If you work and play with your work in this area, it will continue to be prosperous as well.

The couch is a potential area of conflict. Despite it looking very comfortable, those who sit there would not want to leave. They would sleep, become stagnant and just not want to move. Brown is an Earth element and the 2 conflict. It reminds me of the old Rodney Dangerfield joke: She was an earth sign. I am a water sign. Together we made mud.

Now, that is great if you want to relax. Ideal in fact. If you want to create and work, it is a potential conflict. You may wish to place a mirror on the black table when you work to deflect the energy outward toward the window. There the sun can keep the earth moist, not mud. If you sat there, you can be comfortable and rejuvenated without zoning out for 4 hours and wondering where the time went.

Remove the throw blanket. It is a fire sign. Water and fire. . .not a good mixture.

Under the couch is a wooden something. I am not sure what but it looks wooden. If such is the case, this is indicative of anger, frustration or depression (energy) needing to be expressed, versus hidden. It is the same energy. The direction is what makes it different. Anger is the outward expression. Depression is the inward. Frustration is the lack of. You may wish to take a look at this and see where the energy takes you. In any event, I would move this. The Bach Flower Remedy, Wild Oat would be helpful.

(In this style of energy diagnosis, there are not accidents or coincident.)

Pic #3. Same room. Different angle. If I was writing a book about this room, the title would be something like “Clash of Energy.” Much is happening of the right side that is in deep conflict with the left side. Note the pattern emerging. You had Gall bladder issues — one sided. (Not lung issues which are usually 2 sided by comparison.)

Again, look for a Balance of the Tao of Lori. Something you are doing or not doing is throwing you off. You are exerting much energy and getting rewards, but the rewards could be even greater if and when this balance is restored. One would feel that “something is missing in my life” and other common phrases.

Switch gears. Something is not missing. In fact, it is out there waiting for you to fine it, be it a person, project, movie,  cat etc. Breath it into your life. Literally. In a separate email, I will send you a breathing meditation. Practice from now until June and watch.

For starters, though I am not a Buddhist, I am pretty sure that Lord Buddha really does not want to watch the news. He must be kept in a sacred room or a room that you can now create as you sacred space. It can also be a smaller section of a room. In any event, find that room or part of a room to connect with Spirit. If you have a particular religion, that is where prayer should be. If you want, create an altar and start the day with a few minutes of breathing in front of the altar. Or at THOSE moments of the day when. . .well. . . you know. Stress. Tension etc. The altar need not be elaborate, just clean and with a red cloth. You can also place your bucket list or dreams or how ever you would like to phrase these, on this altar. Not as a “Please oh please God” but approach it would confidence, strength and the deepest of respect and gratitude for they are already achieved, as some point in the future. You are simply breathing them into your life.

Find a way to hide or al least cover the cords from the TV. This is fire and again, water and fire would conflict. The diagnosis would be challenges in the affairs of the heart, be it romantic or close friendships. This area or these areas would significantly improve with this change.

The wall on the right is traditionally representative of the “White Tiger.” It is your source of power and wisdom. Add something metal such as a picture in a metallic frame on this wall. Make it meaningful, not just colorful. It should stand out. Ideal colors would be purple, white or green. You can match the shades but be sure to have it “pop.”

You may wish to add plants behind the TV to hide the wires. Water feeds wood and this would enhance the “Dragon” energy. This is the energy associated with creativity, strong energy and adventure.

Note how the red bag stands out! The contents of the bag are important and also contain money or contain a vehicle for additional money. So for example, if you have notes about ABC, follow through on them. If you have a book, read it. There is a strong message in there.

Finally, the cord from the computer is also hanging over the table. The theme of needing to plug energy gaps continues here. Where are the leaks? Do you have gym membership you don’t use or a magazine subscription you never read. A friend who is exhausting and not really a friend. Something you feel you have to do but really do not want to. And if you think about it, you really don;t have to. Fill in the gaps. Plug the leaks.

Whew. That was a lot.

Any questions, please let me know.
