Is Dubai a Feng Shui Nightmare? – www.wealthyspaces.com

POSTED BY Cathi Hargaden November 30, 2017 IN Podcast | No Comments

A few trips to Dubai & Abu Dhabi with huge amounts of building cranes as the city’s profile prompted me to observe and consider how this whole desert area really could have been designed.

Hey I am no architect nor a designer but have visited so many cities across the world I have lost count.  With my Feng Shui training and experiences in assessing spaces and places I wondered if there had been any urban planning really gone into this whole area.

Dreams of the desert, Arabian Nights and exotic perfumes of Oud combined with the palm trees was something I had imagined.  This area of the globe had so much potential to capitalise on its desert roots, the architecture and its amazing focus on aroma but it seems as though someone gave a few people a load of money and they just threw up a whole load of malls, high risers and the tallest building in the world.

Yes we have the Jumeriah Tower with its floating patterns of palm trees but Feng Shui is about flow of energy and in the major city area we see nothing but blocked traffic and irate drivers.

However, a trip to Abu Dhabi appears to have a lot more space with some really spaced out buildings-at times it feels like you are in an out of space zone.  It almost feels like parts of the west have been just dropped down into an empty space other times there are amazing pieces like those in the video below.

Look around where you live or are visiting now – how are the buildings with their shapes, designs, colours, aromas making you feel?  Depressed, awe inspiring, secure, relaxed?  This is the power of what lies around us.  Straight lines follows a logical, one pointed mentality; curves, arches allow the eye to move in a flowing manner and creates a more yin response from the perceiver.

What Is Ayurveda?

Getting To Know Ayurveda

Do you know what is Ayurveda? Have you heard the wonders that come with it?

Ayurveda has been in existence for thousands of years now. It’s one of the world’s most sophisticated and powerful holistic healing system. It is a traditional science called Ayurvedic medicine. It is designed to bring back balance to the body so that it can heal itself.

Inside Out Feng Shui

This ancient teaching is based on the belief that our health and wellness depend on how balanced our mind, body, and spirit. The main goal of Ayurveda is to promote good health.

Ayurveda believes that we should live in harmony with nature in order to survive. It speaks about using nature to gain good mental, physical, and emotional health. In other words, overall health.

In Ayurveda, a person is made of five basic elements that can be found in the universe. It consists of the space, air, fire, earth, and water.

7 Steps To Healthier Living

When combined inside our body, it forms the three life forces or energies called the doshas. These three doshas are called Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.

Each one of us has a unique combination of these three doshas. But each of us has a different combination of doshas. It affects how we live like how we eat, sleep and exercise.

So you may ask, what is really Ayurveda? It is an approach that aligns with the infinite power of nature. It is about bringing balance, silence, and harmony to our physical, mental and emotional body.  It is about doing things by using nature and the energy of love rather than wasting our energy by chasing wealth, status and power.

Your Must Haves For A Good Feng Shui Bedroom

Do you have a good feng shui bedroom?

For how many years of my feng shui practice, I’ve noticed that in most houses, the bedroom is the most neglected part of the house.

The bedroom is one of the most important parts of our home. It’s our private space. It’s a place where we spend most of our time when we are at home.

Feng shui is not all about the energy of wealth. It’s about life-balance.A good feng shui bedroom is a place where we can relax and have a good sleep. It should look inviting. It should ignite the fire within us when it comes to love and give us a good sleep.

7 Steps To Healthier Living

Below are seven things that you should have in your bedroom.

1. The bed is the first thing that you should consider when it comes to your bedroom. It should have a solid headboard, good frame, and a good mattress.

2.  A good feng shui bedroom should have no stale air. Keep your air fresh by opening the windows and by using the power of scents. Essential oils are relaxing. They give a soothing relief from your tired body.

3. Use the power of two on each side of your bed. Things like nightstands and lamp shades. This means partnership and equality in your relationship.

Inside Out Feng Shui

4. Use the power of crystals in your bedroom. A good feng shui bedroom should give you a good sleep. Clear quartz, black tourmaline, jade, rose quartz, and amethyst are just a few examples of crystals that promote good sleep.

5. Can’t get rid of electronics? Cover them with fabric. This will keep the live energy from disrupting your sleep.

6. Use only full-size mattress. Some mattresses have split in the base that can affect your health. It also means separation in feng shui.

7. Our skin is the biggest organ of our body. Use gentle fabrics only on your bed.

8. Before going to bed put essential oils on your pulse. One good example is lavender. It calms your nervous system and provides a better quality of sleep.

De-clutter in 7 Easy Steps

Always remember the number one thing that you should do is to get rid of clutter. A cluttered place makes us restless. If it doesn’t belong to the bedroom, then keep them out of the bedroom.

It was honouring the importance of LIGHT and how doses of light can affect not only our mental health but on a cellular level canchange the activity of cells so that they feel fed and operate more efficiently.

Also, the supply of nature when trying to heal is of paramount importance and probably why the hospital was located in that area.  Find out more for yourself on how you can change your own health, especially sleep when millions of people across the globe are suffering from insomnia.
