The Hidden Link Between Classical Feng Shui and Time: Is Your Clock Holding You Back?
As we shift our schedules with daylight savings, it’s the perfect moment to take a closer look at the clocks in your spaces. Whether it’s a wall clock, wristwatch, car dashboard, in your spare bedrooms, vehicles, or on your stove or microwave — their condition may be saying more than you think.
In Feng Shui, time isn’t just a concept — it’s energy. And when our clocks are out of sync, it can subtly disrupt the flow of abundance, focus, and progress in our daily lives.
•Broken or Stuck? Symbolizes stagnation. Your career, personal growth, or opportunities may feel “frozen” in place. •Running Too Slow? Reflects delays and slow progress. Things may not be moving forward as quickly as you’d like. •Running Too Fast? Can trigger stress and pressure, leaving you feeling like you’re constantly chasing time. •Flashing or Inaccurate Time? Indicates chaos and lack of structure — often tied to missed opportunities and scattered focus.
🌟 Why It Matters In Classical Feng Shui, time is a powerful force. Accurate, intentional timekeeping helps you sync with the present moment, align with prosperity, and create space for clarity and momentum.
By simply checking and adjusting the clocks in your home, office, or vehicle, you’re energetically realigning your environment to support growth, harmony, and success.
🧭 A Simple Practice for Abundance
Take a few minutes — ideally twice a year, during daylight savings shifts — to:
✅ Check that every clock is accurate ✅ Replace batteries or repair broken ones ✅ Remove clocks you no longer use in spaces like your spare bedroom ✅ Set each one with intention — think of what you’re aligning to: peace, flow, prosperity, clarity
Feeling energetically off or stuck? Time might be the missing piece. Align your time, clear your space, and open the door to new energy, productivity, and abundance.

This year offers a dynamic opportunity to reflect on the past and move forward with wisdom, awareness, growth, and compassion.
Among all living creatures, the Snake is the best equipped due to its magnetic resonance to hear the heartbeat of Mother Earth.
Let’s explore how to harness this energy within your home and prepare your space for a prosperous year ahead.
What the Year of the Wood Snake Represents
The Snake, a symbol of intelligence, charm, and creativity, paired with the element of wood, encourages transformation and renewal. This year is a unique opportunity to shed old patterns, embrace personal growth, and approach life with strategy and creativity.
For those new to Feng Shui, the Wood Snake represents a time for reflection, careful planning, and adaptability, offering opportunities for rebirth and significant breakthroughs, both personally and professionally.
The Snake, known for its cyclical shedding of skin, is a universal symbol of renewal and change. Traditionally, it is also linked to blessings of wealth, good fortune, fertility, and a long and prosperous life. The Wood Snake brings:
Growth and transformation: A chance to reflect and grow personally and spiritually.
Strategic progress: Encouragement to move forward methodically, capitalizing on opportunities.
Renewal and balance: A dynamic time to align your surroundings with these transformative energies.
The Year of the Snake invites you to create a secure and harmonious environment that supports its transformative energy. By practicing good Feng Shui, you can align your home with the strategic and methodical nature of the Snake, setting the stage for growth and renewal.
Let’s explore how you can prepare your home to make the most of this powerful year.
Starting Fresh: How to Align Your Home for a Strong Year of the Wood Snake
Chinese New Year, celebrated on January 29th, 2025, is a time of renewal and preparation. Rooted in tradition, it’s a period to cleanse and refresh your home, symbolizing a fresh start for the year ahead. From adorning spaces with fruiting lime trees and flowering plants to repairing and renewing your surroundings, the rituals invite prosperity, growth, and harmony into your life.
Declutter and Refresh Your Space
Start the year with a thorough decluttering session. Remove items that no longer serve you, such as broken electronics, mismatched dishes, or old clothes. Freeing up this “prime energy real estate” in your home invites fresh opportunities for good luck, health, and improved relationships.
Replace Bedding: This is important as we spend 1/3 of our lives in our beds. Opt for earth-toned sheets to promote calm and peaceful sleep. Ensure pillows are matched and items in the bedroom are arranged in pairs to enhance relationship energy and harmony.
Clean the Kitchen: The kitchen is considered the heart of the home. As such, ensure that the stove is spotless and the fridge and pantry are stocked with food.
Broken or unused items: Repair or discard leaky faucets, broken furniture, and unused electronics, as they symbolize stagnant energy.
Repair and Renew
Ensure everything in your home is in good working order. Pay special attention to:
The front door: This is the “mouth” of your home where prosperity enters. Repair loose handles, cracked pathways, or any visible damage, as these issues symbolize cracks in relationship energy entering the new year.
Water features: Leaks or stagnant water symbolize loss of wealth and health. Address these as soon as possible.
Incorporate Symbols of Growth and Renewal
Adorn your home with:
Fruiting Lime Trees or Flowering Plants: Represent growth and prosperity.
New Clothes in Red and Gold: Symbolize wealth and good fortune.
Update Your Home’s Feng Shui for 2025
The Chinese Solar Calendar marks February 4th as the beginning of the Feng Shui year. On this day, the annual Lo Shu numbers shift, and start exerting their full effects. Influencing the energy of different areas in your home. Update your Feng Shui cures accordingly to harmonize with these shifts.
Feng Shui Cures and Enhancements
For those already familiar with Feng Shui principles, here are steps you can take to align your home with the 2025 energy shifts:
Identify Positive Stars: Locate where the healthy stars reside in your home and amplify their energy using items like plants, crystals, or water features. For example, a flowing water fountain (positioned correctly) can activate prosperity.
Neutralize Negative Stars: Use metal elements such as brass or other metal decor objects to counteract negative stars that may bring conflict, illness, or financial challenges. For the most troublesome stars, traditional remedies like metal and salt water cures are recommended.
Replace and Reposition Salt Water Cures: Remove last year’s Salt Water Cures before February 4th and place new ones in the designated locations according to the 2025 Lo Shu chart. These help absorb and neutralize negative energy.
If you are new to Feng Shui or uncertain about these placements, consulting a Feng Shui Master can ensure your home’s energy is optimized for the year ahead.
Energy Clearing Ritual
After setting up your Feng Shui cures, perform an energy clearing ritual to balance and refresh your space. It is recommended to do the Ritual before 12pm or at least during daylight:
Open windows and turn on lights in every room to invite fresh energy.
Use purifying herbs or incense to cleanse each room, starting at the front door and moving clockwise through your home.
Pay special attention to lesser-used areas, such as storage rooms, attics, furnace areas, guest rooms and garages.
Sweep in a flowing upward motion as you command any heavy energy that is not serving to leave through open doors and windows.
Conclude the ritual at the front door, expressing gratitude for releasing old energy and welcoming new prosperity.

Water is a powerful element in Feng Shui, capable of either enhancing or disrupting the energy in your home. Properly utilizing water according to Feng Shui principles can significantly boost wealth and prosperity, while incorrect placement can have the opposite effects. Let’s explore how to ensure water is working for you, not against you, in your home.
The Role of Water in Feng Shui
In Classical Feng Shui, the water element is strategically added based on flying stars calculations to enhance specific sectors of your home, such as wealth and prosperity. The placement of water, whether inside or outside, is determined by factors like the compass direction, the year your house was built and the current year. Ideal locations for water vary for each home and must be carefully assessed to avoid negative impacts.
The Dangers of Misplaced Water
When water is placed in an unsuitable direction, it can be counterproductive. For instance, if water is placed where the fire element is needed, it can create imbalances and cause significant issues. An example from my practice illustrates this perfectly.
A Case Study: Avoiding Costly Mistakes
I had a client building a beautiful home overlooking the ocean. She planned to add a pool at the front of the house. However, my assessment revealed that her house did not require additional water at the front, it was the opposite. Excessive water energy in this area could negatively impact the occupants’ health and emotional state, leading to feelings of depression, lethargy, indecisiveness, and low energy.
To prevent this costly mistake, I recommended placing the pool on the side of the home instead. Additionally, I created a grid of crystals in the ground to form a barrier between the pool and the house. We also incorporated the earth element through landscaping at the front, ensuring the ocean’s water energy would be absorbed and not affect the home negatively.
The Result
This careful planning saved my client time and money and ensured their home would radiate positive energy for years to come. By properly balancing the elements, we maintained the aesthetic and overall design of their dream home while mitigating potential negative effects.
Recommendations for Homeowners
If you have a large pool or water feature at the front or back of your home, it’s crucial to evaluate its impact on your home’s energy. Corrections and adjustments can be made based on a thorough Feng Shui assessment. If you’re considering installing a pool or an outdoor water fountain, consulting a Classical Feng Shui Master can help avoid any negative energy associated with the water element.
Water is a potent element in Feng Shui that must be handled with care. Ensuring it is placed correctly can enhance your home’s positive energy and contribute to the well-being of its occupants. If you’re planning any water features or already have them, seeking professional guidance will help you harness the power of water to benefit your home and family.
Proper Feng Shui can transform your living space, creating harmony and prosperity. Don’t let water work against you—embrace the wisdom of Classical Feng Shui to make water your ally.
In Classical Feng Shui, much emphasis is placed on ensuring an abundance of fresh energy flows through the home. However, there are decorating mistakes that can negatively affect this energy flow, ultimately reducing the effectiveness of Feng Shui. In this post, I’ll show you five things you can do to enhance the flow of positive energy into your home.
The Importance of Natural Light and Fresh Energy
Natural light and fresh energy play a significant role in Classical Feng Shui. They are ready to empower and serve us, having a positive effect on our mood and overall health. Yet, in many homes, I often notice that the curtains or blinds are kept closed therefore, hindering the flow of positive energy into the home.
Why Curtains and Blinds Stay Closed
I understand that sometimes curtains and blinds remain closed due to neighbouring homes being too close or because many rooms in our homes, such as formal living rooms, dining rooms, guest bedrooms, or basements, are not frequently used. While this might seem practical, it blocks the beneficial energy that Feng Shui aims to harness.
Five Tips to Enhance the Energy Flow through your Windows
While opening your curtains or blinds is a good start, here are five additional steps to ensure energy flows freely into your home based on the principles of Classical Feng Shui:
Choose the Right Window Coverings Select window covering styles, materials, colours, and designs that not only serve the window type best but also reflect your personal preferences.
Ease of Use Ensure that your window shades or curtains are easy to open and close. Struggling with them is a sign of negative energy. If privacy is an issue, opt for sheer drapes or blinds that create a filter while still allowing natural light to enter.
Keep Windows Clean Maintain clean windows and glass doors, and ensure the view outside is pleasant. Remove any clutter or unused items from your backyard or the side of the house.
Morning Ritual Make it a daily ritual to open your blinds and window coverings each morning with the intention of inviting in positive energy. This simple act sets the tone for the day and provides an opportunity to connect with the universe and express gratitude for the blessings and the gift of another day.
By following these tips, you can ensure that your window coverings do not block positive energy from entering and flowing through your home. Embracing these Feng Shui principles will help you create a more harmonious and energized living environment. What can you do today to enhance the energy flow in your home? Try these simple steps and feel the difference!
Implement these strategies and witness how the power of Classical Feng Shui transforms your living space into a sanctuary of positive energy and well-being.
Are you seeking harmony and balance within your spirit and living space? As a Classical Feng Shui Master, my specialty lies in rejuvenating your environment by clearing and balancing stagnant energy—vital steps before applying any Feng Shui remedies. Allow me to introduce you to a profound technique: a three-step Smoke Clearing Ritual that can transform your living space.
The Weight of Stagnant Energy
Imagine your space not just as walls and furniture, but as a living, breathing entity that can hold stress, trauma, and negative energy from past conflicts. Left unaddressed, this stagnant energy could lead to illness, disharmony, and financial struggles. Moreover, it can significantly impact mental and physical well-being, potentially manifesting as a lack of happiness and success.
Benefits of Smoke Clearing:
Clears negative energy
Restores balance
Refreshes the spirit
Uplifts your surroundings
My Three-Step Feng Shui Smoke Clearing and Balancing Ritual
Step 1: Detaching Stagnant Energy – Ground myself with meditation, connect to universal energy, and use mantras in my energy-clearing rituals. Enter through the front door and proceed clockwise through the entire home on all levels, returning to the front door. The Zenergy Chimes are programmed for this purpose to disperse stagnant energy, especially in less-used areas like attics, storage rooms, furnace areas, spare bedrooms, and closets. The chimes help locate heavy energy, guiding me to release it and create a harmonious, uplifting environment.
Step 2: Releasing and Cleansing – Once the heavy energy has been detached throughout the entire space, I start at the front. This time, I proceed with the smoke ritual to cleanse the spaces energetically. I guide the smoke to purify the environment, clearing away any stagnant or negative energies while using powerful mantras and commands.
Step 3: Sealing with Positive Energy – I complete the Ritual with Rose Water created for this purpose using moon water to bring love and harmony to the energy-clearing process. This seals the positive energies, ensuring that my space remains balanced and harmonious.
Embrace a Sacred Space
Ultimately, my intention is to create a sacred space where balance, harmony, and abundance can thrive. Do you know someone dealing with health issues or facing emotional or financial blockages? Or perhaps someone feeling stuck, negative, sluggish, or even depressed? They might have tried to uplift the quality of their lives numerous times using various methods, only to experience short-lived results. It could be the energy in their spaces holding them back.
Invite positive energy into your home or business with my Classical Feng Shui Smoke Clearing Ritual. Together, we can transform your environment and spirit, ensuring a harmonious and balanced life.
