Water is a powerful element in Feng Shui, capable of either enhancing or disrupting the energy in your home. Properly utilizing water according to Feng Shui principles can significantly boost wealth and prosperity, while incorrect placement can have the opposite effects. Let’s explore how to ensure water is working for you, not against you, in your home.
The Role of Water in Feng Shui
In Classical Feng Shui, the water element is strategically added based on flying stars calculations to enhance specific sectors of your home, such as wealth and prosperity. The placement of water, whether inside or outside, is determined by factors like the compass direction, the year your house was built and the current year. Ideal locations for water vary for each home and must be carefully assessed to avoid negative impacts.
The Dangers of Misplaced Water
When water is placed in an unsuitable direction, it can be counterproductive. For instance, if water is placed where the fire element is needed, it can create imbalances and cause significant issues. An example from my practice illustrates this perfectly.
A Case Study: Avoiding Costly Mistakes
I had a client building a beautiful home overlooking the ocean. She planned to add a pool at the front of the house. However, my assessment revealed that her house did not require additional water at the front, it was the opposite. Excessive water energy in this area could negatively impact the occupants’ health and emotional state, leading to feelings of depression, lethargy, indecisiveness, and low energy.
To prevent this costly mistake, I recommended placing the pool on the side of the home instead. Additionally, I created a grid of crystals in the ground to form a barrier between the pool and the house. We also incorporated the earth element through landscaping at the front, ensuring the ocean’s water energy would be absorbed and not affect the home negatively.
The Result
This careful planning saved my client time and money and ensured their home would radiate positive energy for years to come. By properly balancing the elements, we maintained the aesthetic and overall design of their dream home while mitigating potential negative effects.
Recommendations for Homeowners
If you have a large pool or water feature at the front or back of your home, it’s crucial to evaluate its impact on your home’s energy. Corrections and adjustments can be made based on a thorough Feng Shui assessment. If you’re considering installing a pool or an outdoor water fountain, consulting a Classical Feng Shui Master can help avoid any negative energy associated with the water element.
Water is a potent element in Feng Shui that must be handled with care. Ensuring it is placed correctly can enhance your home’s positive energy and contribute to the well-being of its occupants. If you’re planning any water features or already have them, seeking professional guidance will help you harness the power of water to benefit your home and family.
Proper Feng Shui can transform your living space, creating harmony and prosperity. Don’t let water work against you—embrace the wisdom of Classical Feng Shui to make water your ally.
Have you ever wondered how Classical Feng Shui can transform your life? If you’re curious about how this ancient practice can bring harmony and positive energy into your home, you’re in the right place. Here’s a glimpse into what it looks like to work with me, Meena, a Classical Feng Shui Master. Let’s dive into the process of unlocking the power of Feng Shui in your life.
The Discovery Call
Our journey together begins with a complimentary discovery call. This initial conversation is all about understanding your awareness and experiences of Feng Shui. I ask you to share any concerns or specific issues that led you to seek out my services. This helps me tailor my approach to your unique needs.
During this call, I also provide an overview of Classical Feng Shui, explaining its origins in China over 5,000 years ago and its precise application to homes and businesses. Factors such as the compass degree of energy entry, the year the roof was constructed, and the home’s square footage are all taken into account to create a personalized Feng Shui analysis.
My Unique Approach
I believe in combining spirituality and intention setting with Classical Feng Shui. My advanced certification from China sets me apart from other Consultants, and I share my personal experiences to illustrate how this integration can enhance your Feng Shui experience.
Understanding Your Unique Needs
Classical Feng Shui offers remedies for almost everything, tailored to your specific situation. After our discovery call, when you’re ready to book a consultation, you can choose between an in-person or virtual session. Regardless of the format, I will send you a detailed online questionnaire. This questionnaire covers all nine life areas in Feng Shui, including Love and Relationships, Health, Wealth, Career, and more. Your responses will provide deeper insights into your needs and goals.
Behind the Scenes: The Analysis
The magic continues behind the scenes in my office. Using my Feng Shui compass, your completed questionnaire, and the floor plan of your home, I conduct a thorough analysis. This meticulous study forms the basis for the remedies and recommendations I will provide.
Delivery and Implementation
When the analysis is complete, it’s time for the delivery of your personalized Feng Shui plan. If you opt for an in-person consultation, I arrive with a binder containing a colour-coded floor plan of your home, marked with remedies for each of the nine life areas. We review everything on paper before conducting a walk-through of your entire space, including outdoor areas, the garage, and the basement. I offer recommendations on where to place the remedies and suggest adjustments to enhance the flow of positive chi energy. This can include changes to sharp objects, furniture placement, colours, artwork, room layout, and more based on your current décor and belongings.
For virtual consultations, the process is just as thorough. We conduct the review over Zoom, and many of my virtual clients have noted that I seem to know their home better than they do!
Transformation and Beyond
And now the real fun begins! My mission is to shift the energy in spaces, one home at a time. It’s my honour to guide you through this transformative process. I look forward to helping you harness the power of Classical Feng Shui to create a harmonious and prosperous environment.
Classical Feng Shui is more than just an ancient practice; it’s a pathway to transforming your life and home. By working with me, you’ll embark on a journey of discovery, analysis, and implementation that brings positive energy and harmony to your space. Whether you choose an in-person or virtual consultation, I am dedicated to helping you achieve your goals and improve your quality of life through the power of Feng Shui.

Happy New Year! The new year is a time for fresh beginnings and greater opportunities. 2024 is even more special because it marks the beginning of a new Feng Shui cycle, Period 9, beginning on February 4, 2024.
In the coming weeks, we will experience a major shift, larger than many of us have ever seen. This period cycle will usher in new energy and rapid changes in your life. It’s more important than ever to implement the 2024 Feng Shui cures and remedies throughout your home so the period 9 energy can work for you.
Let’s discuss what Feng Shui periods are, what to expect during period 9, and whether you need to update your Feng Shui to prepare.
What is period 9 in Feng Shui?
In Feng Shui, period cycles are 20-year spans governed by a dominant element. For the last 20 years, we’ve been in period 8. This earth-elemental cycle was all about stability, security, and grounding.
Period 9 starts on February 4, 2024 and will last until the beginning of 2044. This period is ruled by fire, which is a very different energy than the grounding earth energy we’ve been surrounded by for the past 20 years. Fire energy is associated with passion, creativity, transformation, spirituality, and inspiration. It’s also a time of innovation, change, growth, and excitement.
We can expect period 9 to greatly impact our reputations, recognition, and technology. If you look around, you’ll notice that this energy has been growing rapidly with digital content creators, social media, and AI.
When the periods shift, especially toward fire, things will change quickly. So, it’s important to have remedies in place to combat any unbalanced energy that may come your way. Schedule your discovery call to see how I can assist to make the transition to period 9 in order to keep your space balanced.
2024 Flying Stars in Feng Shui
In the Flying Stars School of Feng Shui, each building has a natal chart. It is determined by when the building was born (when the roof is put on and the energy is “sealed”) and its facing directions. A Feng Shui Master can put together your building’s chart, determine which stars are prominent, and tell you how they impact your space.
When activating stars, it is extremely important to consult with a Feng Shui expert. This is a detailed process that relies on accuracy and knowledge. If done incorrectly, it can have the opposite effect on your home or business and its occupants.
As a Classical Feng Shui Master with a heavy focus on Flying Stars, I have been busy remedying homes and businesses to prepare for this new period.
Feng Shui is the practice of objects, and space to balance the different energies, or Qi, that flow through your home. Qi changes over time, based on our relationships, focus, and other elements. Not to mention, each year, the energy field shifts, which can lead to needing adjustments in your space.
Your Feng Shui should change as well.
The initial Feng Shui you set up in your home or business addresses the permanent influences affecting your home, such as facing directions and room layouts. However, passing influences, including people, Flying Star placements, etc. require annual Feng Shui updates.
Feng Shui is also a powerful tool to help you manifest your desires. As you create new goals for the year, you may need to adjust certain sectors in your home to amplify the energy and actualize your dreams.
For example, you may have wanted to attract love last year, meaning you focused on updating your bedroom and other romantic areas. However, if you have financial or career goals this year, or feel that you’ve hit a plateau in your career, you will need to update your career and wealth sectors to refresh that powerful energy to help it flow effortlessly.
Generally, if your home was built during period 8 (2004-2023), you may feel the energy start to lessen and experience a dip in your luck. That’s why Feng Shui updates are important – to align your home’s energy with the new period, maintain your fortune, and restore harmony.
Book Your Feng Shui 2024 Remedies
The beginning of the year is the perfect time to implement Feng Shui 2024 cures. It can refresh the energy, fill your home with positivity, and give you an edge up on your goals for the year. Book a consultation with a Feng Shui Master to ensure you’re activating your stars and modifying your remedies accordingly.
There are many ways to prosper with Feng Shui and we often turn to this ancient practice to achieve success in Business, Relationships and Health. In my blog this month, I want to talk about 8 Feng Shui tips for better sleep. These simple recommendations can help you achieve more restful and restorative sleep while also promoting balance, harmony, and prosperity in your life.
Choosing your Headboard
Security, support, and grounding are all Feng Shui elements that the right headboard can provide. Choosing a Feng Shui headboard helps to Manifest the right Energy while you’re sleeping. I always recommend a solid wood headboard with smooth edges rather than sharp and pointy. Sharp surfaces can direct negative Chi toward you while you sleep. Avoid a Metal headboard for its heavy and piercing Energy and avoid Glass for its fragile Energy.
Feng Shui Bed Position
One of the most important Feng Shui principles for better sleep is having your bed in the “command position.” This means your bed is in a position where you can see your door but not directly in line with Chi coming through the door. The Feng Shui command position enhances Positive Energy and promotes success. I recommend positioning the bed centered on a solid wall and never tucked in a corner.
Embrace Restfulness
To implement Feng Shui for better sleep, you must embrace your bedroom as a space for rest. TV’s are for an entertainment space, desks belong in an office, and treadmills should be found in a dedicated exercise space. You can create a Feng Shui Intention for sleep by eliminating distractions in your bedroom.
Choosing your Colours
Bedroom colours can have a powerful impact on your sleep. Feng Shui colours for bedrooms are always calming colours. Soft, natural colours such as off-white, light brown, or clay yellow for bed sheets promote grounding Energy and peaceful sleep. Bright colours can be too stimulating. In considering my own bedroom Feng Shui, I avoid reds that can bring up intense fiery Energy or blues that can stimulate waves of emotional Energy.
Harnessing Feng Shui Crystals
Amethyst is a powerful Feng Shui Crystal known for its soothing Energy. Amethyst brings peace to your mind and is a great choice addition to your bedroom for a harmonious sleep. To ease restlessness, I recommend placing Amethyst on your nightstand; or for deeper and more energizing sleep, you can place a small Amethyst under your pillow.
Avoid Mirrors
Feng Shui bedroom mirrors can reflect Energy around the bedroom while you’re sleeping, creating restlessness and even worry. In Classical Feng Shui, we do not endorse mirrors in the bedroom where you can either see yourself when in bed or get in and out of the bed. If you’re having difficulty sleeping or wake up tired, I recommend reconsidering mirrors in your bedroom altogether or keeping them covered while sleeping. While Feng Shui mirrors can be associated with luck and prosperity, they can create clashing and conflicting Energy in the bedroom.
Maintaining Positive Chi
One valuable Feng Shui principle for better sleep that helps you to keep the positive Chi from escaping your bedroom…If you have an ensuite bathroom or there is a bathroom near your bedroom, it’s always a good Feng Shui practice to keep the toilet seat down and the door closed so that Chi doesn’t escape down your drains.
Feng Shui Plants for a good night’s Sleep
The topic of Feng Shui plants for the bedroom is a debated topic among Feng Shui experts. In my experience, plants are always a welcome addition to your Home and your bedroom when chosen carefully. Snake plants filter indoor air and are one of the few plants that convert carbon dioxide into oxygen at night. Bamboo (one or three stalks) in the bedroom can bring balance and harmony to your life and relationships.
If you have more questions about Feng Shui for better sleep, I provide Residential Feng Shui Consultations to help you transform and optimize the Energy in your Home and your life.
The holiday season is a wonderful time of year that’s filled with excitement and anticipation. It’s a time to rejoice and show your appreciation and love for your friends and family. For optimal Feng Shui, we recommend focusing on positive and uplifting energy as you spend time with them.
Some families and friends show appreciation and share positive energy through gifts. If you have someone who observes Classical Feng Shui teachings, then you may want to consider a Christmas gift with Feng Shui influence!
Feng Shui Christmas Gift Ideas
A Classical Feng Shui-inspired gift is a wonderful way to share good energy and joy with your loved ones.
Here are our top 6 gift choices to help spread positive energy:
1. Feng Shui Plants:
This gift is always popular, especially for someone who has just moved into a new home, as a healthy plant symbolizes “new beginnings and growth.” Choose a plant with healthy leaves (no brown spots or brown tips!). Leaves that point upwards help to invite upward energy.
My top recommendations for Feng Shui plants are:
Money Tree:
The money tree brings good luck and invites wealth energy to the home. Its stems are usually braided to symbolize longevity. Money trees thrive in indoor environments.
Jade or Chinese Money Plant:
Both jade plants and Chinese money plants are easy to care for. In the case of jade, their leaves look like precious jade stones which represent long life in Feng Shui. Chinese Money Plants have round leaves that look like coins which symbolize good luck, fortune, and money.
Lucky bamboo:
An easy-to-care-for houseplant, lucky bamboo will thrive in indirect light. Placing the bamboo in the centre of the home attracts and improves your health while placing it close to the desk in your office helps to attract wealth and career opportunities. If you place the lucky bamboo close to where your family spends lots of time together, you’ll welcome harmonious vibes into your home.
The number of stalks of lucky bamboo that you gift is also important!
1 stalk represents good fortune
2 stalks bring love energy
3 stalks will bring happiness, wealth, and long life
5 stalks help to bring peace and harmony to all areas of your life
6 stalks will bring luck energy
Since 4 is not a good number for Feng Shui, we don’t recommend 4 stalks when buying lucky bamboo.
Snake plant:
As a super easy-to-care-for houseplant, snake plants are one of the few plants that can thrive in low light. It’s great for removing indoor air pollutants and helps to filter out impurities. In my Classical Feng Shui practice, I highly recommend placing a snake plant in the bedroom to help purify the air while you sleep. Since it’s slow growing, it makes a great option for smaller areas of the home.
2. Natural Crystals:
We highly recommend a gift of natural crystals if your friend or family member is interested in manifesting their goals and dreams. Different types of crystals you could gift someone will depend on their goals:
Amethyst to bring good luck and calming energy to the home or office.
Rose Quartz for enhancing love luck. Make sure you gift Rose Quartz in pairs if the person is in a relationship, to maintain love and harmony between them.
It’s important that if you’re gifting crystals to a friend or family member, you clear the residual energy in those crystals before wrapping them up. Crystals pick up the energies of whoever they come in contact with. To avoid transferring this stagnant energy into someone’s home, I recommend clearing them and resetting the energy so they are cleansed and ready to support the owner in their new home. This way, it will be a clean slate for the crystal and your friend! All crystals and crystal products listed on the Momentum shop are hand-selected and pre-cleared by me.
3. Selenite Lamp
Just like a selenite plate or wand, the selenite lamp will help remove stagnant energy, which means it will clear your mind and boost your concentration. Selenite lamps also promote peace and calmness, clear block energy, and elevate the spirit. If your friend has a dedicated meditation area, a selenite lamp would be a great addition to their space! They can also place it on a table near the front door.
4. Himalayan Salt Lamp
Over the past few years, Himalayan salt lamps have become extremely popular. They are natural air purifiers that make a person feel refreshed and energized when it’s used. Place it in an area where you spend most of your time, like in your office or family room. It will help to promote a harmonious atmosphere.
5. Wealth Ship
This is a perfect gift for someone who has just started a new business venture or career. It’s given to wish them a smooth journey in their new endeavor.
6. Personalized Feng Shui Consultation
For those friends and family who feel stuck or want to significantly uplevel their lives and businesses, think about gifting them a personalized Classical Feng Shui consultation for their home or business! Guided by my Classical Feng Shui training, I’ll empower them to bring more positive energy into their lives so that they can manifest their goals. Set up a free consultation to see how I can help!

Moving into a newly constructed Home can be an exciting time in life. You’re taking possession of a brand new Home and you have an unparalleled opportunity to make that Home your own. From the earliest design phases to your final move in date, there are some Feng Shui basics for your Home that can help you cultivate powerful, positive energy that ultimately brings you and your family peace and prosperity. Understanding Feng Shui and applying some simple tips can ensure that your Home is not just cozy and comfortable but also promotes free-flowing and energizing Chi. Let’s take a closer look at Feng Shui to move into a new Home.
Whether you are considering exterior paint colours, landscaping, or other design elements, a Feng Shui Home study can be a great place to start. As a Classical Feng Shui Consultant, I can provide a full-scale review of your Home (inside and out) to help you make decisions that invite healing energy into your Home while preventing heavy energy from entering. Some of the key principles of house moving Feng Shui can be easily applied when you have built a new Home because you have total control over your Home’s construction and design. So with that in mind, it is important to consider every detail of construction including landscaping, yard elements, and entryway design.
Easy Feng Shui Landscaping Tips
Plants are an important tool in Feng Shui, so you should not be surprised to learn that landscaping can have a big impact on your new Home Feng Shui. When choosing plants for your yard, I always recommend that you plant small shrubs around your walkway. Be mindful of the “power of 2s” and avoid having a single overwhelming plant or a single-potted plant at your entrance. Create balance and promote Chi flow by pairing plants. Also, a good Feng Shui tip is to plant shrubs that are green year round but be careful not to let them get overgrown and block your entryway or walkway.
Feng Shui Entrance Tips
According to Feng Shui Home design principles, you should carefully consider your walkway and entryway to your Home. For example, it is not suggested to create a straight line to your front door; instead, Feng Shui Home Construction experts recommend a meandering walkway that is clear of clutter or obstacles. Your front door should be easily visible from the street; and according to Feng Shui practice, it is also important that your house numbers are visible so you can easily invite positive energy into your Home to allow it to circulate. Outside lighting is also important and should be balanced so that your entry is clearly illuminated, house numbers are visible, and energy moves easily.
Exterior Home Feng Shui Elements
There are also Feng Shui Home ideas that can guide you when making decisions about the exterior element of your Home. I always recommend that homeowners consult with their Feng Shui expert to determine the ideal colour for their Home or front door. Depending on the direction your house is facing and that of the back of your house, you should choose your exterior element wisely. Grey or white colour represent metal, but there are also colours that reflect the other Feng Shui elements: fire, water, and wood. As an example, if your Feng Shui Consultant recommends the water element then outdoor features of the back, front, and sides of your house should incorporate blue and black colours – this may include colours of the lawn furniture, planters or the colour of the outdoor decor.
Indoor Feng Shui Tips
Finally, there are many ways Feng Shui can help inside your Home as well. In previous blogs, you may have learned that Feng Shui Experts recommend avoiding plants with sharp edges, but these recommendations include décor elements as well. For example, avoid tables and other furniture that have sharp corners as these may pierce the energy in your Home. Use mats in bathrooms, front entrances, and kitchens, but choose mats that represent Feng Shui grounding colours such as off-white, beige, light brown, or clay. When choosing an outdoor mat, avoid made with coir – a hay-like fibre that breaks down over time and can also fracture the qi entering your Home.
Feng Shui for your Home is a great way to create a warm, personal energy that serves you and your family today and for years to come. But, I know there are many factors to consider when moving into a new Home which is why you may want to work with a Classical Feng Shui Master. I have extensive Feng Shui training and I can give you personalized advice on how to prepare your new Home for joy and prosperity. Click here to book a complimentary Discovery Call.
Meena attended our home in December of 2023 to provide… More a home consultation. I have an amateur enough understanding of Feng Shui to know 2024 is the start of Period 9 in Flying Stars and needed assistance to know where to place this year's remedies and enhancers. Meena is a practioner of Classic Feng Shui and as such has a very technical understanding of the energies at play in the universe interpreted by the symbols and structures present in our environment. I am so grateful to her for correcting me in what I had believed to be the direction of our home. Classical Feng Shui tunes into magnetic north and I had never accounted for magnetic declination. That correction alone was worth the value for the entire consult, but it is only a small note in the service provided during the consult. Meena was so thoughtful in her interactions and respectful of our space. The recommendations were grounded and realistic. The remedies also work. I will share one example. One of the remedies is "moving metal" to provide a particularly strong cure in a particularly difficult area of life. This is a heavy metal piece of decor with a metal clock hands attached. It worked smoothly for three weeks until an event in this difficult area of life occurred that brought up old toxicity. The moving hands kept hitting an invisible block for the hours of this event. Afterwards it worked smoothly... until the next event occurrence.. as though the toxicity was too thick. There was no denying the synchronicity of these occurrences. Interestingly that area of life has smoothed out this last month. Also, this wasn't an area of life that I have difficulty in, but my partner's... and he just humors me in my energy hobbies. For anyone who wants to live life intentionally, and wishes to live a harmonious life, I would highly recommend Momentum Feng Shui. Thank you so much Meena for pursuing this path and teaching us clients how to do this in our personal spaces. Much appreciated!
I had such an amazing experience with Meena. She blessed… More us with her presence at our work place and the energy has been so light ever since. I highly recommend Momentum Feng Shui to anyone who has been looking for someone who is knowledgeable in the field .
We enjoyed our Feng shui clearing session with Meena.… More Her energy and knowledge was impressive. After the clearing, the energy in my spa feels lighter. Also we were educated at the same time so we were able to understand what exactly she was doing and moving forward be able to do a clearing ourselves. It was a beautiful, positive experience. Thank you, Meena!!
