Phone and Email Consultation
Feng Shui continues to fascinate me. Each house is different. Each person is different. No two consultations are alike. The land, the weather, and the location of each dwelling or workplace has its own time, space and rhythm.
Wanting to help each person find the source of a problem, I look at the floor plan of their current or past living space. All buildings, rooms and placement of bed, desks and stoves are vital to the investigation of accidents, kidney conditions, nerve issues, unexplained illnesses, loss of money, losing jobs, investments, children's grades or sleeping problems. A home can be a haven or a toxic cage.
Phone consultations have become a popular way to help people find problems quickly, especially when they are scattered across the country and want my advice. I have developed ways to make this happen using modern technology. An appointment is made, a floor plan is sent and photos can be snail-mailed or emailed.
Below are some of the emails I received before and after a phone consultation from the Midwest. You may benefit from some of the ideas and cures I suggested. Advanced Feng Shui applications are complicated, so it is sometimes difficult to communicate the corrections needed. I usually draw a picture, scan it and they have the image to follow within seconds. Here is some of the “conversation.” This client wants a partner in her life, and money to come and not go out so quickly, so I addressed the stove situation a lot, which brings in our main source of abundance. A front kitchen in a house can bring some distress to the household, so I am attempting to “pull” the abundance from the “cooking stove” to the back of the house. This is an advanced method. It is best to have a very experienced consultant to do this. (By the way....I will be in the Benicia area in the early spring, if you want an on-site consultation.)
Hi, I'm back from Arizona. Will be sending you a written report.
Here is a mural I did last year for a New York client. (Sent an emailed photo of a large mural I painted on one whole wall with mountains, to bring in Career mountain energy, Water for Career and Elements for Helpful People and Health, with shapes, colors and etc. for a cure.) She needed a Career boost. The Chi shift was immediate and she has two jobs now she likes. Many things in her life changed and “broke through” with adding the large water element along with many others intents.

Hi Caroline,
Wow! That is a gorgeous mural. Very powerful.
I moved my desk and dining area. The night after I talked to you (no movement yet), I met a new man. We have dated and it is nice. Also had another date with an intriguing man. I don’t see either one turning into anything amazing though, at least not at this time. Still, it’s fun.
I placed the desk at an angle and I like it except there is Sha Chi coming at me from the corner of the section in the middle. I have purchased a crystal to place in front of it. I have placed a small mirror on the side of the chest facing the stove. I plan to purchase a larger one. I do not think I want a mirror (water) in the fame area (fire), but I think it will do the trick in front at the side of the chest. It will be a decent size and will reflect the stove perfectly. Have a chime in the bedroom in the abundance corner.
Still have a few more of the cures to take care of.
Glad that you had a good time in Arizona. S.
Great, its fun to see what just changing things around or even changing your mind can create. It is like working with clay and molding life in different ways.
Mirrors can be many things and are used for more. When reflecting sky, they bring wind to help with abundance. When used on a rooftop, they lift Chi. Convex push and reveal and expand in thinking, doing and more. Concave turn things upside down and make things appear different, and are used as corrections. Baguas protect and are used for transcendental cures. Flat mirrors can be used to bring all aspects of nature into a house. Sun/Moon mirrors can transform your life when sleeping on them. They can be used for health issues, taking another look at yourself in action and deed.
Your stove is in the extension of your Career Zone. A mirror placed on the wall of your Fame with the intention of “pulling” the stove into the Fame would not be associated with the Water Element. It is reflecting the cooking stove which is where Wealth, Fame and other things are nourished.
I am going to suggest another cure for you, since you don’t want to pull the stove and kitchen to the middle of the house as that can cause sickness. Place a mirror on each side of the stove, “capturing the stove” it’s called, which Professor gave at a private home in LA last year when I was at a dinner in a friend’s house [mirror – STOVE – mirror], this will help. I am going to have to use something similar to this in my new unit as the stove is at the front of the loft.
Good luck, C.
OK, I think I get what you are saying about mirrors and my fame area with the stove. There is so darn much to this cure stuff. This is where I do not feel at all competent.
I have found a place to have a mirror custom made that will fit that little place between the window and my wall, but then I got confused about the issue of fire and water.
About the other cure, with mirror STOVE mirror, how big are the mirrors and do they face each other or outward?
Thanks, S.
Yes, I have been studying now for over 25 years. Started out with Geomancy and then Feng Shui came to the West years before with the Chinese and other cultures with other names; but when Professor Lin was invited to California by friends in the West, he brought his ancient knowledge to the U.S., after his extensive studies from five years old (chosen by a lama near his home in China, when the lama caught he and his friends throwing mud balls at the monks). The lama grabbed him by the collar and threatened to tell his father, a well-known intellect, about his misdeeds. The deal was that he would come to the temple each morning and recite mantras as punishment! Plus becoming a lawyer to do city planning according to Feng Shui, to which he was “assigned by the state,” and then he studied medicine for many years before coming to the West in his 50’s with his ideas of needing to incorporate new technology with ancient Feng Shui. Feng Shui is a small part of Chinese medicine and placement of things in the environment.
He took us to the temple where this took place and also a temple which is dedicated to his father, with his father’s calligraphy on each side of the temple doors carved into the wood. His eyes were very misty as he has only been to China a few times, because he has to lay low when going there. Feng Shui is illegal in China. His home is now Taiwan where he is very famous.
The cure he gave that night at my friend’s home to “relieve” the position of the stove was to place two mirrors facing the stove such as bookends facing the stove. A cure using mirrors is the larger they are, the larger the cure.
I have studied with many other teachers, but the cures used by BTB Black Sect are very secret and powerful. Other schools concentrate on direction and mathematical equations, which I continue to study, but BTB includes many of these things which on the outside aren’t evident. I spoke at length about this with him. I have been blessed with these conversations, because of the interviews I have done for the Benicia Herald on my West Meets East column. So I’m giving you some of these tips. I have found the easiest way to see with Yin Yang eyes is through good deeds and his meditations which are based on ancient ones.
Take care and blessings, C.
Hi Caroline,
I hate to be such a dunce, but I just can’t picture two mirrors acting as bookends FACING the stove. Does this mean that I place the mirrors on walls to the right and left of the stove, bookending it? If I put a mirror to the right and to the left and place them on the wall where the stove is, the mirrors would not be facing the stove.
If I can’t get it by words, maybe you can include a little drawing when you return my floor plan.
Thanks. S.
The mirrors face each other. In getting creative and not using walls, I have suggested a makeup or decorative mirror which swivels. So one mirror might hang, while the second one sits on the counter and looks nice but is turned toward the other mirror as a correction to “capture” the stove.
Use a meditation visualizing bamboo swaying in the breeze to become flexible to see beyond the mundane or what is in front of you and “see” the transcendental situation when applying Feng Shui through your 3rd eye.
Have a lucky day and year! C. Greetings to all,
I am opening new a new office in Portland and closing down the office in Mt. Vernon, WA and will be in residence by September 1st.
Much of my work has expanded to Arizona, Colorado, Oregon, California and other locations, which makes Portland a pivotal location for travel, teaching, speaking and the arts. MILEPOST 5 is a community for Creating and is 15 minutes from the airport.
I will be traveling to Canada, China and Arizona in-between the relocation, so the phone number above is the best way to stay in touch for now (also email) ... temporary phone is (503) 208-2960. For teaching schedules, please go to www.moongateschool.com.
Thank you for your continued support, stay focused and let the OX of 2009 plow the fields of opportunity, but decide now what you want planted now.......for 2010 and in the future.
Blessings and good Chi,
