Q: Hi Kathryn. I purchased a suit at the Thrift Store and my girlfriend says it is creepy.
Could this have a hex on it or something? How can a suit be creepy?
A: When purchasing anything previously-owned you inherit predecessor-chi. Chi-energy comes in many forms. When the previous owner is not around for evaluation, you gamble with that energy.
We all make purchases ‘in good faith’, and we expect the seller to meet that same standard. Whether we…

Can a Ghost Ruin my Business?
Q: Is it possible for a ghost to ruin my business? I signed a 3 year lease in a large shopping mall to open my own Indian Restaurant. The previous tenant was a Pizza Place.
I cleaned the place and opened the business right away with my delicious, authentic home cooking. I opened 2 months ago. I’m losing money and no one comes in to eat.
They look in, and walk away. …

Ask Kathryn: ‘Lucky Bamboo’ outgrows its container.
Q: What happens to ‘lucky bamboo’ when it outgrows the container? Do I throw it out? What happens if you throw out ‘lucky bamboo’? Is that bad luck?
A: If you have a very dead or dying plant it can’t be cultivating good energy for you, right? Like any feng shui ‘cure’ or ‘enhancement’ placed in an area, sometimes they just run-their-course.
It is okay to say goodbye to your dead plant and…
Ask Kathryn: About a boy who won’t sleep in his bedroom.
Q: Kathryn, my 6 yr old son just refuses to sleep in his own room. Last fall, we repainted his room and bought new, fun sheets.

A: Absolutely! First of all,…

The thieves were not smart enough to take the chargers for these devices, so, is this unfinished business?

Q: I heard you did a fabulous Wallpaper demonstration last fall. I’m sorry I missed it.
Will you be doing another one? I’ve read instructions on how to do it but I’m scared to get started. I know feng shui like nice clean lines so I’m also wondering if wallpaper is good feng shui.
A: Hi! A loaded question! The wallpaper demonstration was by invitation to the Meet-Ups group, The City Stagers in Vancouver. Yes, it was…
Ask About The Chickadee….
The chickadee is being featured as the ‘bird of the year’ for Vancouver in 2015. Chosen at random, it is a way to promote awareness to our local birds. Here is a card I picked up recently that addresses the chickadees and their attributes through a native artist, Sue Coleman.
The chickadee is known for its cheerful call: chick-a-dee-dee-dee-dee, chick-a-dee. There are seven kinds of chickadees, most of them sporting a black cap on their…

I have been asked questions about money many times: “Why is feng shui so complicated?
Isn’t there a quick fix to help me with my money issues?”
The layers and layers of feng shui do seem complicated. There is not a ‘one size fits all’ for each situation. However, it is be possible for you to put a few changes into place, with good intentions, and observe the shift in your situation. The rewards will come.

ASK Kathryn about Energy Rings
Q: Kathryn, I remember you talking about energy rings a few months ago and you mentioned something about using them to be more cheerful in the gloomy months.
Can you elaborate on this topic?
