Creating a Home to Nest In: Health, Harmony & Success with Bau-Biologie®

Did you know that there are 3 main areas that affect a typical home occupant's health? The 3 areas include: 1) Air, 2) Water & 3) Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR). The materials used to build your home, improve your home, and create the furniture you use all have an impact - negative - on your air quality IF you are using chemical laden products. This is especially important for infants, but equally so for those who are more sensitive.
We all need to drink clean, pure water. No plastic containers, please! Most of us need to invest in, at minimum, drinking water and shower filtration. Finally, not only do huge power lines create harmful EMR, but your home can have the same or greater level of radiation. Where you sleep is of utmost importance to create a safe, low EMR and no toxin environment. Electrical appliances such as alarm clocks, dimmer switches, TV's, electric beds, computers and more are not recommended for your bedroom. Battery operated clocks are a healthier alternative.
Bau-Biologie®, the German science of understanding how your building affects your health, is key to understanding your home. A healthy home is a healthy nesting place! Learn more about how to analyze the health of your surroundings in Part 2 of 'Creating a Home to Nest In" podcast show, by clicking here: Feng Shui 4 Empowered Living .  You can learn more about the field of Bau-biologie by checking out the International Institute for Bau-biologie & Ecology. 

Feng Shui Business Success Tip

Feng Shui principals embody a myriad of ideas and processes that help people in all areas of life. One favorite of mine is to create an energetic plan to talk with your existing clients. The number 9 embodies the most 'yang' (movement!) energy of all the single digit numbers. Make it a habit to incorporate that number into the frequency of your calls - perhaps make 1 call a day over the next nine days to people you have not spoken to in at least 6 months. Or, try calling 9 people a day for the next 9 days. Make this even more powerful by setting up a 27 day plan - 1 or 9 people each day over that time period. To make this most effective - do NOT ask them for anything and do NOT try to sell them something. Your main focus is to simply check in, see how they are doing, and renew your contact. You will be amazed at what the Universe will provide as a result!

Creating a Home to Nest In: Health, Harmony & Success with Feng Shui & Bau-Biologie®

My life has been the training ground for my expertise as a Feng Shui and Bau-Biologie® Consultant. As a child, I grew up in an organic home, with organic food. As a young adult, I was interested not only in organic principals, but also became interested in the study of Hatha Yoga and meditation, in which I became certified. My career has shifted through the years, from selling real estate, to appraising it, to a 13 year position as V.P. of Chase Manhattan Bank's SE U.S Commercial Appraisal region, to ultimately blending with my early interests in real estate, and emerging like a butterfly, as a Feng Shui and Bau-Biologie® Environmental Consultant. My personal interests focus on world religions, peace, and unity amongst people, which I bring to my clients and listeners through the tools of Feng Shui and Bau Biologie®.

Home is where people feel safe - especially with all the unpredictable events going on in our world today. The more time people spend at home, the more important it is to create a healthy and harmonious environment. The ancient Chinese art of Feng Shui provides tools for empowered living and the German science of Bau-Biologie® makes sure your surroundings are healthy.

For those of you driving around or riding a train, you might enjoy some educational listening by downloading these MP3 Podcasts from my podcast show: Feng Shui 4 Empowered Living: Prescriptions for Health, Harmony & Success. I recently recorded a two part series, ‘Creating a Home to Nest In" , found at http://www.energyofthespirit.com/ . In the two segments, I explore how listeners can take a different look at their own environments to create a comfortable, healthy space.
Starting off the series, I provide listeners with a background of Feng Shui, the ancient art of placement for success. I discuss the 9 main areas of life found in the Ba-gua, and how to apply this basic template tool to your surroundings. Over the past 17 years, I have studied many schools of thought in Feng Shui, and in this show, I covered the ‘Western' method of finding the different areas of your life. Listen and you will learn how you can create an empowered living environment in your own home.

In Part 2, I share my expertise and experience as a Certified Bau-Biologie® Environmental Consultant since 1995 and discuss the 3 main areas that affect a typical home occupants' health. Air quality, Water and Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) are the key areas that a Bau (Building) Biologist focuses on when creating a healthy home to nest in.

Each podcast is approximately 20 minutes long, found at http://www.energyofthespirit.com/  My Facebook Fan Page also provides ongoing thoughts on how you can create more harmony in your own environment. Please join now at www.facebook.com/CarolCannonGroup

A Good Day - Lowering Electro Magnetic Fields in a Home

Today was a good day. I was able to determine that the elevated AC Electric Fields in a lovely family's home will be able to be reduced substantially. So important, particularly in a family with young children. Elevated electric fields open the door to lowering the body's defenses to disease over time. It's a good day when that can be mitigated.
I noticed the elevation for the first time when my repeat client bought a new home. They inviited me to review their home for ideas to help them with the design process, from a Feng Shui point of view. It had been 6 months since their purchase, and they felt it was time for me to come back for a review. In that interim, they painted the home with non-toxic paint, updated light and fan fixtures, purchase some new furniture, and set about to 'living' in the home.

Their daughter was in the room that initially had the most concern for me. I did a preliminarly test and found elevated fields, suspecting that it was the exterior transformer near the front of the home. Today, I discovered that the AC Magnetic fields (the ones I sampled) were actually in good condition. However, the AC Electric fields, which we call 'body voltage' in the field of Bau-biology, were quite elevated. Through proper shielding, and shut off of a few circuit breakers at night time, they will lower the fields by 90% of the current levels.

The symptoms that the daughter was exhibiting (and their younger son) were that they had not slept through the night since moving in to the house, thus, they were all sleep deprived. When electric fields are elevated, they impact the pineal gland, which slows the production of melatonin - which is needed for deep, restful sleep. No sleep = irritable children = stressed family. We are all excited tonight as until their shielding cloths arrive, they are going to experiment with turning off a few specific circuit breakers each night before going to sleep. I expect that when I talk to them again in about 1 week, that I will find they will be a lot more rested.

This is a story that I will be following up on and my 'intuition' tells me that there will be some happy endings. If you have not ever heard about electromagnetic fields (or want to know more) check out http://buildingbiology.net/

9 Feng Shui Tips for Selling Your Home

Are you a home owner trying to sell your home?

Has it been sitting unnoticed on the market for months?

Do you wish you could get at least one offer?

Are you ready to try something out of the box?

Carol Cannon’s 9 Feng Shui Tips for Selling Your Home is YOURS when you click here and sign up for my Ezine newsletter. The tools of Feng Shui can help you plan your effective sales strategy. In today's markets, you are obviously trying to price your home at the best price that you believe the market can bear, yet even that can be elusive. You might even have an irresistible price - still something seems to hinder offers from coming in.

Similar to, and often done in conjunction with staging a home to sell, Feng Shui can give you that 'unseen' edge that many find words cannot fully describe! There is an invisible energy field around your home and it needs to be cleared and adjustments made to bring it into balance. This invisible energy is felt by your prospective buyers – and everything needs to be done to make them feel comfortable when they walk in – even before they enter your home!

You can make some simple adjustments that will seem almost miraculous. If you are motivated to sell, have a realistic price set, a good marketing plan and nothing is happening – the missing link is likely the power of placement known as Feng Shui!


For a complimentary list of Feng Shui tips to get you positively moving toward SOLD and other tips monthly in my Ezine, click here NOW! I guarantee you will soon be on the way to freeing yourself from your home! 

With many blessings,

Creativity

I used to be an early riser, filled with creative ideas the moment I got out of bed.  These days, the end of the day seems to be the opening to my creative juices.  Living on the intracoastal in South Florida is a treat - and I enjoy rising slowly, watching the sun sneak up to the sky, with Hercules and Zeus (my 2 cats) and my cup of organic coffee.  Mornings have turned into times for me to fill my soul, rather than pour it out into the world.  Daily, I start out with sacred music, a great view, and slowly I begin to fill up with life.

That said, by the end of the afternoon, I find that the sun setting calls me outside for a walk that is the formal end to my productive work day.  Scenes like the one at left leave me speechless some evenings - and it is a great way for me to empty my mind from all that went on during the day.  Somehow, it seems that in this emptying, I am finding my most creative thoughts emerge at the same time.  Once that starts flowing, it feels so good that when I return, I'll either start writing, or free drawing, or even creative cooking.  This is a whole new side of me that seems to have turned inside out - a person that I am living with that seems to be recreating life for me!

What are you doing to allow your creative juices to express themselves?  What have I done that has caused this shift?  One important thing I have done is move a lot of furniture around in my condo at the start of the New Chinese Year.  Old habits don't leave easily - moving furniture around is a habit that I've had since I was a little girl!  Things just 'feel' differently in new locations - and when you couple that with Feng Shui and all that I know about it - it is a magical experience.  These days when I am working at my desk, it is in a more open space where I am able to open the doors to the patio so Herc & Zeus can enjoy the fresh air - and we all get to enjoy the water view as we work.  There is a lot of work ahead that requires me to be creative - and the basic, bottom line for me is feeling good in my surroundings.  Good Feng Shui always comes through.
