Feng Shui Progress: Living in a Protective Amulet

[sabrinamari]

Basic furniture placement design completed for public areas of house and my bedroom
One faceted crystal ball hung in the center of each bedroom from a nine-inch red ribbon
One hollow five-rod windchime hung over the stove
Three ancient coins tucked in a lucky red envelope and put at the bottom of the rice jar.
Red velvet cloth put on SW shrine
Rose quartz heart put on SW shrine w/2 votives in red glass holders

Next:
string the 3 coins for the doorknob appropriately (it's a cross-culturally auspicious door knob--iron key, brass bell, 3 coins---all on red ribbon) [tonight]
clear and set altar for offerings and meditation practice [tomorrow morning]

Over next six weeks:
give away gorgeous mythological print of lake nymphs about to drown hapless gay man
(so very, very bad for future relationships on *so* many levels)
buy metal frame for Master's Degree Diploma, hang on N bedroom wall
keep fresh flowers on SW dining room table
hang faceted crystal ball from center of SW dining room chandelier and surround with drop-shaped glass crystals
find peony painting for SW dining room, frame it and hang it
find painting or image with masculine themes, preferably in blue, for N living room wall
find ultramarine throw for living room futon
hang drop crystals in bedroom windows
frame red dragon and mount on NE/E living room wall
hang peonies and lovebirds scroll above SW shrine
find a metal 8-rod (hollow) windchime for the NW living room corner
find small, lush peony images for above each bedroom entrance
hang protective wooden plaque on E wall of bedroom
hang Lisa's wooden zodiac clock on NW bedroom wall
hang my full length mirrors on the bathroom doors
put metal stag (thank you, Minneapolis bunnies!) on W bedroom desk
mount 3-inch round mirrors on ceiling above sinks, toilets, cat box and bathroom drains

Optional:
place a 3-toed frog biting a coin in living room under a piece of furniture
put a rose quartz rat on my altar to activate peach blossom luck

NOTE:
Ebay has very inexpensive feng shui supplies---try it first. Feng shui websites can be quite pricey.

No problem.

I am really enjoying the challenge of creating an entirely nurturing, safe and joy-promoting environment while remaining fiscally responsible! It's kind of fun to be able to generate a giant magical chrysalis through my own creativity and frugality.

As I said, Ebay is the place to look first, especially for faceted crystal balls, crystal drops, rose quartz hearts and similar feng shui items. I found a dutch auction of faceted crystal balls with a price of $.99 to start. Amazing!
