Essential Guide for Employing Feng Shui for School and Work Spaces
An essential guide to back-to-school/work space employs Feng Shui tips to make your space work for you.
"Mom (my client) had hoped that purchasing desks for the kids would keep their school supplies off the kitchen table and provide them with quiet workspaces in their bedrooms but much to her dismay they used their new desks as laundry baskets instead. During the consultation I suggested we turn the desk around so that the kids could see the door from their study space. We all feel safer and more comfortable when our backs are protected. This small change made all the difference with one son announcing that 'now he felt like a boss!' :-) Mom and dad have also employed this simple concept to their workspaces as well."
How many of us have found ourselves in a similar position? In this article, Joan covers other tips and ideas that showcase how a time of transition in an individual's life may also be a time of opportunity for one's whole family. You have got to read this one!.

"Classical Feng Shui can positively boost your child’s learning prowess through Study Room Feng Shui. For example, Study Room Feng Shui posits that it’s vital that the study room is located upstairs. This is because the Qi on the upper floors of a building is calmer and more passive than the Qi on the ground floor (based on the notion that Qi flows downwards and never upwards).
"Therefore, in a calmer environment, your children will absorb information easily and naturally – perfect for when they’re revising for exams or doing their homework. Honing your child’s academic prospects in the household early on is certainly a great way to get the ball rolling regarding the child’s future prospects!"

Back to School: Dorm Room Feng Shui
Work with your student-to-be to design, refine, and implement these Feng Shui ideas that will promote productivity, enhance organization, and give them a competitive edge.
Assisting your freshman, sophomore, or senior as they move from home to set up their college dorm for the fall semester is an important parent-child milestone. But what can you do to help them create a space that’s optimized to ensure both academic and personal success? The answer is Feng Shui!
College age kids have so many different things happening when they move away from home, often for the first time. Between changes in where and how they live, making new friends, figuring out classes, and the overall changes that happen in their bodies and minds at this age...it can feel amazing and like a tornado on the same day.
