Smiling On The Inside!
Gambling With A Catsuit!
Recently, I got bitten by the “lets’s take pictures” bug, namely by my friend Tonika Garibaldi who is a brilliant photographer. I am also submitting these photos to Essence Magazine for a potential feature this fall (so lets keep our fingers crossed!) As a woman of my generation, I suddenly became a little uncomfortable about what I might see as a result of this photoshoot.
I have lectured hundreds (if not thousands) on the art of Feng Shui and suddenly I was having “stage fright” about the vessel that God has given me. Besides that, we as women tend to be very conscious of our bodies. I am arriving at a place of spiritual and mental clarity – yet how can this “body image thing” menace me, at this level of consciousness?
How exposed are you behind a lens?..such a scary thought for a quiet intellectual such as myself lol. What tales will my expressions tell? Will my clothing and domeanor illicit a consistent testimony to support my inner growth? Many times, when I tell my age, people are in utter disbelief, but true to life – we are always our own harshest critic!
Thankfully, I feel that I was spared the grief of a bad photoshoot. I’ve taken enough bad pictures to last a lifetime, and this has been a testament to the process that we all will experience as Spiritually attuned women. We are mothers, sisters, wives, warriors, businesspeople, and most importantly – we are MAGNIFICENT. Remember your beauty lies in your simplicity, BASK in the marvel of who you are!
Many of you know about my Metaphysical and Energetic Concordance that I’ve been writing for release in Winter 2008. From this experience, I definately need to consider the effects of body-image on women, and investigate further.
Take a moment to share your comments about a time when you were a little “camera shy”, let’s laugh together. Maybe even a time where you realized the consciousness and gravity of your physical being.

Tangerine; doing the twist in a 60s throwback!
Could your fashion taste increase your chances of political success? in Michelle Obama’s case, it would certainly be nice. Wife of presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama, Michelle Obama is making a reputation for herself as an all-American fashionista. Despite her reluctance to take center stage during her husband’s presidential campaign, Obama’s sense of taste in clothing has become undeniable to the stylish American ’shoperazzi’. “Height, brilliance, and class are the essence of Michelle Obama” remarked Baltimore area Feng Shui Consultant, Dr. Renee Parks who’s gone great lengths to analyze the color palette and Feng Shui of Michelle Obama’s campaign appearance wardrobe.
Beijing, 2008-Olympic Fever with a Twist of Feng Shui.
By: Fire Dragon
Beijing-The second largest city in China hosts the 2008 summer Olympic Games. Beijing literally means “northern capital”, in accordance with other cities named by the direction where they are located. The Beijing Olympic Stadium under construction, also known as the “Bird’s Nest,” is a feat of engineering developed by Heurzog and DeMeuron, two well-known Swiss architects. The structural elements support one another and converge into a grid-like formation; hence the name, the “The Bird’s Nest.” Seating capacity will be 79,574, yet for the Olympic Games, it will be in excess of 100,000.Feng shui (pronounced, fung shway); literally, means “wind water.”
Remarkably similar to Chinese Astrology, feng shui is part of an ancient Chinese philosophy of nature. Like Chinese Astrology, Feng shui relates to the five elements of nature (Wood-Fire-Earth-Metal-Water), and how living with rather than against nature benefits both humans and the environment. The feng shui chart applies to the elements as follows:
Water-all shades of blue (Knowledge {Wisdom, Education, and Self-Cultivation}) or black (Career {Life-Path, The Journey}).
Wood-all shades of green (Family {Community, Elders}).

If, like many Muscovites today, you are renovating your apartment, you might choose to avoid sharp corners and consider the “flow of energy” when selecting and arranging the furniture. And if you are one of the growing number building a new living space outside the city, you might even choose the location not for its price or beauty, but according to the mandates of an ancient Chinese practice.
This is because feng shui, the ancient Chinese art of harmonious arrangements, is growing in popularity in Russia. Widely touted over the past decade as the latest craze in Western interior decorating, while some Eastern countries employ feng-shui specialists for almost every building or design project, feng shui arrived a bit later to Moscow, but its principles are now becoming in the capital more than just a superstitious fad.
“It’s people of all types who hire a consultant. Mostly women,” Tatyana Shumilina, a Moscow feng-shui consultant, told The Moscow News.
Feng shui, which literally means “wind-water,” is the ancient Chinese practice of arranging a person’s environment in accordance with what are viewed as laws of the heaven and Earth. Proponents of the practice believe it can bring harmony to all spheres of a person’s life: improve one’s health, increase one’s material provisions an

Are you tired of feeling sick? Do you want to feel more vitality? Is
your home negatively impacting you and you don?t even know it?
Studies show that your home could be the major contributing factor of
ill health. Our homes are full of electrical wires, power sockets,
switches, electromagnetic disturbances, sewage pipes and heating
systems that cause stress to our body.
All of these unnatural and harmful rays penetrate our body aura
(energy field) when we are in our home or workplace. They are like a
large net covering our house, blocking and distorting the natural
universal energy. The unnatural environment we spend time in has
created extremely stressful conditions for our body, affecting our
emotional behavior, our psyche, our brain patterns and our health.
Negative energy from our surroundings may adversely affect a
Practitioners ability to treat their clients properly.
If you have a chronic illness or just want to feel more vitality, this
consultation is for you. Geobiology is a study of the influence of
“earth energies” on all forms of life. There is naturally occurring
Geopathic stress that is caused by underground waterways, or natural
gases in the Earth. The ancients observed the landscape and avoided
these areas of stress.
It is clear that there are a lot of cross-links between Geopathic
Stress and Feng Shui. Both disciplines are concerned with the
influence of the environment on people and the energy of spaces.
However, correcting the flow of chi does not automatically correct the
earth?s negative energy forces.
The effect of the lines of stress can include illness, unhappy
relationships, financial stress and low energy level. Illnesses, in
particular, are associated with these areas. Cardiovascular
deficiency, attention deficit disorder, immune deficiency diseases,
chronic fatigue, and cancer are examples of the effects of living in
chronically stressed areas.
The Immunization Housecall provides a deeper diagnosis for healing
your environment and remedying, enhancing, balancing, and harmonizing
your space to the highest degree possible. Once this negative energy
is neutralized, there will be an immediate difference in your
surroundings. You can easily perceive the difference. Feng Shui can
help to cure your illness and help you feel better.
Just as we can immunize our bodies against disease, we can immunize
our bodies from the harmful effects of the subtle energy (low level
radiation) in our environment. This is simply done by locating
negative energy lines. Thousands of people have benefited from
clearing their property of geopathic stress and have experienced
improvement in finances, health, and relationships almost immediately.
The Immunization Housecall concentrates on identifying and correcting
the negative earth energies in the home to remedy:
Geopathic Stress Lines are caused by underground streams, Man-made
disturbances to the earth?s surface including quarries and mines; road
and rail cuttings and building foundations, especially tall buildings
with steel pilings; tunnels, sewers, drains, buried utility pipes and
wires; as well as artificially created electromagnetic fields from
overhead or underground cables and electricity-generating stations and
sub-stations. This negative energy runs through the foundation all
they way to the highest point of the home.
Curry Lines & Hartman Lines run across the earth in grid patterns
carrying the earth?s natural magnetic field that we need to live and
sustain life. Curry lines are every four to five feet and run
Northeast to Southwest and Southeast to Northwest. Hartman Grid
Lines are every six to seven feet and run from West to East and South
to North. When man-made electrical current i.e. an electrical wall
outlet intersects a Curry or Hartman line, they become negative and
harmful to anyone standing or sleeping on that magnetic line.
Negative Vortexes is energy that spins in a counter-clockwise
direction and may possibly drain our natural energy from within us.
Negative Interference Lines ? are abnormal spikes of current created
by TV?s, stereos, computers or other electrical devices.
We also determine if there are any Positive Vortexes, which is a
clock-wise rotation of energy and are excellent areas for healing,
exercising and meditating.
Dowsing rods is the tool used to identify and locate the negative
energy coming into the home. Dowsing rods can effectively be used by
an experienced consultant to find water beneath the earth?s surface,
objects, living organisms or natural and man-made energy. Once the
negative energy is identified, a copper rod, properly placed can
neutralize the offending energy.

There are millions of musicians an singers in the world seeking fortune and fame. As a musician there are many valuable principles in feng shui that can aide in building your successful career in the music industry. Your environment, your acquaintances, your observations and opportunities will all contribute to creating the life that you are seeking. Have you ever thought about whether the place where you spend the most of your time is actually helping in growing your musical ambitions?
Many musicians spend hours and days in dark, cold, cluttered recording studios while creating music. These studios often manifest negative, depressing, and fearful energy in those who enter it. Besides the ’bad feng shui’ of the constant exposure to electromagntic forces, many recording studios environmentally ”swallow” and/or smother the artists who use them, rather than support the greatness and talent that they posess.
There is no wonder that many popular songs today manifest a ‘dark’, melancholy feeling. Have you ever noticed that recording studio photographs from the 1960s or 1970s, were dramatically well lit and “clutter-free”? - as a matter of fact, every instrument and individual in the photographs are quite visible. Compare the pop music of those eras, with the music of today – a distinct difference.
Recording studios used to be designed as inviting, comfortable, and welcoming to musicians. Now, the aesthetic has been shifted to black and chrome - with an inadequate amount of light to even view the room. Imagery and visual textures are usually abrasive and harsh; no foliage of natural elements at all. Poor ventilation plagues recording sessions and a certain level of constant tension is usually present. Why? What does this do for the creation of music itself, other than destroy its nature?
Does your recording studio or practice room support your creativity?. The ideal feng shui creative space is the space that has the best feng shui energy to support your specific activity intended in that space. For example, if you are applying feng shui for your recording studio, then you are looking to evoke as much creative energy as possible. However, if you are writing music or practicing singing alone in a pre-production studio, you are looking for a different energy, the ‘vibe’ must be right for both places
There are times when you may want to listen to relaxing, soothing sounds, and then there are times when loud dance music is the best way to go for you. The feng shui of a creative process – be it singing, writing music, producing somgs, or writing lyrics or melodies – always implies making space for that which is not here yet. In other words, it is like the birth of a baby – highly expected, painful, powerful and chaotic at the same time.
The ideal feng shui planning of a creative/recording space will be able to hold the character of many rhythms, because the creative process has all types of rhythms – the dreaming/planning time and the actual manifestation moment.
Answer these questions:
I am fine with files, photos, floor plans, notes all over my working space for a couple of hours while I am busy working on a big project; that is inevitable, and actually very helpful while working. However, once I am done with the project or am moving to its next stage, all the materials are filed promptly because I love neatness and order. I cannot work or create in a sterile environment, but I also cannot stand clutter.
To attract the best feng shui energy for your recording/music studio apply these basic feng shui tips:
In closing, the feng shui of a recording/music space will evoke the same energy that describes your creative process, whether you are a producer, poet, rapper, singer or instrumentalist - the balance between the quiet energy of dreaming/germination and the full bloom of active, strong manifestation. By applying these and other basic guidelines, you will reinforce the feng shui flow of creative energy and create a space to support, as well as promote, your creative ambitions

For thousands of years, the Chinese have used the teachings of Feng Shui (pronounced “fung shway”) to enhance their lives. Feng Shui in Chinese means Wind (Feng) and Water (Shui). The ancient Chinese believed that invisible life energy (called chi) flowed through everything in life. They also believed that the buildings we live in require as much attention as our bodies and so developed this highly complex science for “healing” the environment.
Feng Shui is a design system for arranging your surroundings through the appropriate placement of the objects around you in regard to shape, color, size and texture. Centuries of observation showed that different areas of the house and different parts of each room attracted specific energies. Furthermore, they discovered that certain configurations (the layout of rooms or even the position of furniture) could either help or hinder the free, smooth flowing energy. If the energy was blocked or allowed to flow too swiftly it would cause corresponding blockages and problems in life.
Symbols and patterns are the ways your psyche subconsciously interprets and relates to your environment. The primary level of symbolism in Feng Shui is the relationship between you and your living environment. Symbolically speaking, your home (it’s structure, shape and condition) represents and reflects you, your body, your mind and spirit on various levels. Patterns corresponds your living environment with the ongoing events in your life. When you can spot these patterns, you enter into a conscious, effective relationship with your environment. This awareness allows you to take concrete actions and create positive changes in any part of life you desire.
There are many factors that are influencing you to one degree or another: your front door, prior residents, clutter, location of bathrooms, the position of your bed or desk and colors. Ultimately, changing the Feng Shui of your environment creates new options and choices. Feng Shui can create a whole realm of possibilities that you never considered or didn’t believe possible. By applying easy Feng shui principles, you can reverse negative patterns and strengthen positive ones to maximize your chances of success.
Feng Shui can help you improve your environment easily, directly and powerfully. When you put Feng Shui into action, prepare for changes! Some life shifts may be dramatic and sudden, while others may be subtle and gradual. The key is to be open to new things and ideas. The people who get the best results from Feng Shui proceed with an open mind, a positive outlook, and a clear intention.
Action without knowledge is no recipe for success. Feng Shui is not merely furniture juggling or random interior decorating. Feng Shui combines aesthetics with time-tested energetic principles. When remedies are applied correctly, your life can become easier and happier in essential areas including relationships, career, wealth and family. A certified Feng Shui practitioner can provide a personalized treatment plan to address your individual life circumstances. You will be amazed at how many life obstacles can be cleared with simple energy shifts you can perform in your home or office.

As a Feng Shui expert, Dr. Renée Parks recognizes the importance of
the energy potential within the environment and the body. She
analyzes and stages some of the most luxurious homes and special
events in the world. She is an experienced Holistic Lifestyle Coach,
Authoress and CEO of Feng Shui Essentials (a wellness and educational
organization).
Dr. Renée never loses sight of the importance of a clear and focused
mindset. She believes, “The pathway to become the woman you are
destined to be can be clarified, but only if you understand the impact
that your thoughts, goals, perspectives and environment have upon your
life.”
For Dr. Renée , balance is of utmost importance in her life and she
works hard and plays hard. She tends to keep “after-hours”
entertaining and appearances to a minimum – in favor of a good nights
rest so that she may operate at optimum efficiency. Dr. Renée
believes that ‘real beauty’ is attained by nurturing one’s inner
spirit. She prays and meditates daily, and honors herself throughout
the day with positive affirmations.
Although Dr. Renée is not a gym-buff, she enjoys maintaining her
figure with aerobic exercise 3-4 times per week at home or while
traveling. As far as her diet is concerned, she is a strong proponent
of organic products as well as raw fruits and vegetables to help in
balancing her “on the run” eating style.
Cosmetics are not a part of a daily beauty regimen for this diva,
“Healthy, clear skin is the most beautiful thing that a black woman
could ever wear,” she says. “Just a little lip-gloss and mascara, but
that’s it”. ‘Aveda’ skin care products is what she uses to keep her
skin tight and beautiful. Artesian Water, such as Fiji helps Dr.
Renée to stay hydrated and blemish free.
No product is a panacea, black women must take time to find the right
health and beauty products for their distinct chemistry and personal
style. She swears by ‘Kerastase’ brand for hair care. “Your hair is
your crown. Natural, clean and light are what I look for in health
and beauty products.” The final key to maintaining a youthful
appearance is her daily practice of forgiving others and giving thanks
for the gift that each moment holds.

Dr. Renee Parks, also known as “The Doctor of Feng Shui” remarked recently on a video in USA Today.com. The site posted a video of a “mock consultation” done by a Feng Shui Consultant Taylor Vance for the DC offices of Senator Barack Obama and Senator John McCain. “Its good to see that the quality of spacial energy may be addressed by the Obama administration. Obama’s office must be properly treated in order to support his success as President. McCain has created such hostility during these elections, we must undo the energetic damage that has been done” noted Parks from her lakefront studio in Baltimore. “John McCain definately needs a Feng Shui Consultation for his office, clutter and nick-nacks support outdated, wilting energy.” Parks added.
As a Feng Shui consultant and columnist, Parks has built a following in the new-age community and is noted for her authoritative and charismatic reputation. She has also built an extensive network of alternative health practioners and medical providers by use of her unique specialty, Holistic Spatial Therapy. Next year Parks is set to stun the world of Metaphysics and Alternative Medicine as Presenter for the University of Sedona’s doctoral ceremony and installation. Parks is preparing a “worldwide analysis of healthcare and globalization from multi-energetic perspectives” she noted. “Feng Shui explains why we are where we are in the world, based on ancient common-sense. Certainly this upcoming presentation would be beneficial to leaders involved with national and global agendas.”
Although Parks’ Publicist from Wilkins-Barbera Public Relations provided no comment, a warmth has been felt in light of Parks’ response. “Its a small community, and Renee has a big name on the east coast” commented Marilyn Conlin, a Feng Shui Consultant from Catonsville, MD. “When Renee Parks puts something out there, the new-age community takes note of it” Conlin remarked.

Seeking the spiritual center of our existence is a multi-faceted pursuit. Reiki, Acupuncture, Yoga and similar energetic healing modalities all support our quest to be aligned with Universal energy. We each utilize very diverse energetic principles to tune our inner and higher selves but we often neglect the various environments that surround and unavoidably impact our physical being. As a Feng Shui Practitioner, my craft primarily is oriented towards energetically supporting and augmenting attunement work.
Have you ever wondered why one client benefits more than others from identical treatments? You may also ask “How can I better support holistic health benefits for my clients?”. Our bodies must be at peace with our physical surroundings. To combine the outer need for harmony with our inner world, I have developed a technique that I refer to as Holistic Spatial Therapy. Here are several ways for your client?s to leave your treatment center energized and attain sustainable results each and every time.
As experienced practitioners you are probably aware that your treatment space can alter you and your client?s energy in positive or negative ways. This fact can be observed on an atomic level, and observed clearly by others who are trained in energetic consciousness. As each client enters the treatment space, their energy is deposited into the space and may be residue in you and in the treatment area at the conclusion of the session. I recommend that you allow time between each session to clean the slate by physically cleansing the space in whatever way feels complete to you.
Next, take a good look at your treatment room. Is the energy flowing in a way that supports the healing work? Is your treatment table or chair aligned with a door or window, which could make the energy a little unstable during the session? Are the furnishings in the area well-balanced and energetically aligned with Yin & Yang and the Five Elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water? Our physical makeup includes a combination of these forces to one degree or another. If your space has an imbalance, it could make your work harder and less effective.
Finally, the space where your client resides should also support their soul’s quest for inner peace. If the energy in their space is moving too fast or is negative, they may return for healing even more energetically drained than before. Consider providing your clients with tips that will help them achieve more balance in their surrounding in especially the bedroom since this is where they spend the most time. One fundamental health tip is to ensure that their space is free from clutter. If there are any items that they no longer resonate with or brings on a negative frame of mind they should release it. Another good piece of advice is to fix any broken items in the home.
In addition, to having a more harmonious, flourishing and effective practice, following these simple tips will significantly shift the results of your healing work. The result is a more fulfilled and loyal client who will gladly refer to you others because their wellness is your priority.
