How do I bring good vibes into my business to help with money? My place of work is not doing well and I want to help by bringing in good energy and good vibes...how can I do this?

There are many different factors that could attribute to business difficulties. There is the mundane such as marketing, lead generation, customer service, economy, client retention, referrals, etc. Then there is the transcendental or energetic side.

Without seeing the place or having a better understanding of the situation, it is difficult to make a proper assement and provide the best remedy or suggestions.

I find that when I work with many businesses that are declining or stuck, they they do not have any life energy in the space. I would consider introducing plants, flowers and the potential of water features.

I once consulted for a business where the CEO had a dead plant in the wealth corner of his office along with a a variety of other things. Now they have a plant service and business is booming. Not to say that removing the dead plant and adding a plant service caused the turn around but if you ask the CEO, there is no way that he will go back to the old way.

I have a fireplace in the South area, would it be bad to add more elements of red to it? Also can I add plants around a fireplace?

Based on your description, it sounds like the fireplace is in the Career section of the room. The career section represents water and the fire and water combination are destructive to each other. As a result, I would not recommend adding any additional red, which, represents the fire element, or any candles.

To adjust the fireplace element, I would consider hanging a large mirror above the fireplace, which represents the water element.

Typically, I do like to have plants set on each side of the fireplace or small topiaries sitting on top of the mantel. It makes the space feel warm and complete.

What Should I Do If I Live At The End Of A T-Intersection?

In Feng Shui, it is best if you don't have to implement cures for fix things. The focus should be on getting a property that is good to start with. With that being said, living at the end of a t-intersection can cause harm to health, finances and relationships due to the concentrated flow of chi pointing directly at the house.

Adding fencing, walls or strategically planted trees or a fountain can help dissipate some of the forceful chi coming  from the t-intersection.

I once saw a house that was at the bottom of a t-intersection. One night a car ended up jumping the railing and landing in the second floor bedroom. After that happened, the couple moved out of that house.

How Does Feng Shui Relate To Colors?

Colors can have a dramatic impact on you, your space and how you experience life through your senses. Color defines for us what exists and what does not exist.

In Feng Shui, color can be used to help with:

- Interiors and exteriors of businesses for growth and prosperity. Each type of business can have an advantageous color associated with it.

- The interior and exterior of a house for balance and harmony. Each room in the house has specific colors that you can introduce to improve the harmony of the space and function. Take a look at the best colors for a bedroom.

- Education institutions and schools to assist with brain stimulation.

- Clothing colors based on occupation, age, or reaching personal goals.

- Health issues such as psychological and physical ailments.

- Your inner world or energy to balance personality and chi.

- Enhancing personal assets

- Selecting car colors

Color can also inspire emotion. It can determine how comfortable we are in different environments and can affect our moods. Color can be applied to wardrobes in a manner that reflects how others may see us. If someone is wanting to be recognized, they may wear a red or purple color. If they want to provide a feeling of depth, they may choose to wear black colors.

Color can show the status of a person's health. As a result, many traditional Chinese doctors are well versed in reading the color of a person's face.

Question: When getting dressed in the morning, how do you determine what colors you'll wear for the day?
