I'm excited about what this month is going to bring! I'll be taking almost the whole month off to learn some new techniques, so I can be more efficient in my consultations. It is never too late to learn, and I'm always seeking new tips that can help improve the lives of my clients faster and more profoundly. So if you have a consultation with me in the future, be ready for warp speed! (You students that have signed up for my training in August better be ready - it's going to be a wild ride for sure!) And if you haven't yet registered, the 30th of this month is the last day to sign up. There is only one spot left!

Wish me luck! Look for the new and improved me in the August newsletter!

Question #1: I'm female and my hair is literally falling out for no apparent reason. Can I use feng shui to help me with a physical problem such as this?

Answer #1: Well, of course you could do some things in your home to support you a bit better, but I'm not sure it would make sense to you. Hair falling out is a kidney yin deficiency.

Let's talk about yin first. The theory of yin-yang is a conceptual framework used for observing and analyzing the material world. It serves to explain the organic structure, physiological functions and pathological changes of the human body, and in addition guides clinical diagnosis and treatment and prevention. This is the modality that practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine are operating from.

Now for the kidney part. Each element is represented in the body by a major organ. Wood is the liver, Fire is the heart, Earth is the stomach, Metal is the lungs, and the kidney is associated with Water element.

If you are interested in becoming an inspired professional feng shui consultant, capable of transforming your life and your client's lives for the better and all the while making a good living, I invite you to sign up for the next training session coming up August 3 through 7th, in Naples Florida. There is 1 spot left. The sooner you sign up, the more time you have to study the pre-training assignments!

Got kidney Yin deficiency? Here are some foods that can tonify or deplete kidney yin deficiency:

Foods to eat:

Pork Millet, barley, tofu, string beans, black beans, black soy, kidney beans, black sesame seeds, blueberries, blackberries, seaweeds, black fungus (Notice the color of most of these foods and how they relate to the water element?)

Foods to avoid:

Warming, drying, bitter, pungent items including chilies, curry and spices, cinnamon, garlic, ginger, onion, shallots, leeks, basil, clove, wasabi, coffee, tea, cigarettes, alcohol, corticosteroids, recreational stimulants, NASAIDS.

You don't want to be water deficient or weak in your home if you are kidney yin deficient!

Here are a few water-saving/maintaining tips:

Fix leaky faucets and toilets. (This as well as many others on this list also does wonders for adding personal wealth as a side benefit!)

Don't flush drugs down the toilet. This is contaminating the municipal water supply. Take them back to a pharmacy for disposal or place in the trash. (Some say to "soil" them in such a way where no one would consider using them prior to trashing.)

Install irrigation if you are hose watering and in an acceptable environment to do so.

Watch irrigation throughout its cycles. If water is running down the street, reset the timers or create water dams around planting areas to capture all water. Also, check for broken heads and pipes.

Use a bucket, not a hose....and when using both when washing the car, crimp or turn off the hose when you're not spraying the car.

Capture rain water for garden and potted plant watering.

Minimize wet washes by sweeping outdoor patio spaces between wetted-down washes. (The act of sweeping is a great chi-activator and uplifter!)

Take shorter showers.

Catch the warming up water in the shower with a bucket and water plants around the house with it, or start a load of laundry with it.

Wash only full loads of laundry and dishes and use low phosphate detergents.

Buy and install a water heater blanket if yours is not insulated. Or better yet, consider installing a tank-less water heater. This eliminates the large amount of sitting water in one area of your bagua.)

Turn off the faucet while brushing your teeth.

Consider a mineral salt pool rather than a chlorinated one if you have or need a pool.
