It’s a perfect time to start a campaign since it’s ‘Letter Writing Day.’ If you’re planning on penning a letter to Santa, then by all means write it in red ink. And don’t forget to seal it in a red envelope as well. According to Feng Shui, both of these actions activate energies of fortune and luck. Speaking of sealing, forget about doing that with a kiss and try this next empowering method instead. When the letter has been signed and sealed, place it on a table that’s covered with a big black cloth. Pour salt around the letter so it forms a silver circle and then visualize that the note will work wonders for you. Fold the cloth to cover the letter and kiss the folds while sending rays of pink love from your heart to this now mystical memo. Release the letter and send it on its merry way! Soon enough you should see your own special delivery!

Today celebrates the feast day of Saint Nicholas of Myra, a fourth century Byantine bishop who is widely revered for his generosity, kindness and compassion. In many European traditions, the night before ‘Saint Nicholas Day’ is when children display their shoes in prominent positions, like in front of their bedroom door or by the dining room table. The story goes that in order for Saint Nicholas to fill those shoes with gifts, the little ones had to be fast asleep. Feng Shui says that your shoes can also bring you another gift when positioned in a specific manner. This philosophy says that you can walk into excellent opportunities for a new job if you turn around all around the shoes in your closet. Simply position them so the toes are pointing as if the shoes were going to walk out on their own. The shoes should be put in pairs and those that are outdated or never worn should be weeded out and given to someone who can use them. Following in the footsteps of generous old Saint Nick, acting charitably while also activating your intention is the probably the best gift of all!

The odds are fairly high that you might be hosting holiday visitors. That makes this the best time to take advantage of some ‘Friends and Family’ Feng Shui that lends warmth and wonder to that space. Find a fun and meaningful picture of those who are visiting and place that photo inside a wooden frame. This picture should not include you or anyone who lives under your roof. Place the framed photo in the guest bedroom where your visitors will be sleeping and position it anywhere they can easily see it. In the Feng Shui philosophy, activating the element of wood will bring balanced and harmonious energies to any family or friends agenda. You are nurturing and growing the ‘family’ tree, so to speak. Simply by showcasing your visitor’s individual energies in a special place in your home, you are also illustrating that they are a top priority in your life. Gift your loved ones with this framed photo before they leave. It will serve as a reminder of your warm and wonderful times together and as a promise of many more to come.

Being that today is ‘Cyber Monday,’ I think it’s time for another money-attracting tip in case you get all caught up in the financial frenzy. If you’re looking to up your income or get a bit of year-end bonus, then ignite your ‘Fame’ or ‘Recognition and Rewards’ arena. When properly assessed this space promises to bring sweet just desserts that will boost your bottom line as well. To activate the ‘Fame’ area, Feng Shui says place nine red candles there and light them for a few minutes once a day for nine consecutive days, all the while envisioning your own recognition and reward. On the ninth day allow the candles to burn completely out before expecting your bank balance to heat and head up!

On ‘World Toilet Day’ I thought we might take a look at how to make negative bathroom energies go right down the drain. But let’s first see why Feng Shui suggests that the bathroom is considered such a negative space. According to this modality, the bathroom is the home’s place for cleansing and elimination and is believed to impact the family’s wealth and health as it carries connotations of uncleanliness and waste removal. Therefore, to keep this room from depleting both your bank account and life force, you might want to try some of the following solutions. Keep the bathroom door closed at all times. This keeps healthy energy from entering that room that can then get flushed away. Speaking of which, keep the toilet seat closed at all times. You should also keep a stopper in the shower and sink drains, as drains sap energy. Lastly, you can hang a full length mirror on the outside of the bathroom door so it will reflect the Chi of the house away from bathroom while also making the room ‘vanish’ from everyone’s attention. Enact these tips and you can save money, energy and time spent at the doctor’s office.

Today is ‘Occult Day,’ a time where old world beliefs meet empowered modern day lifestyles. This day can be considered quite mysterious and magical with energies that travel outside the realm of the natural world. So let’s get advice from Valerie Worth, a most revered alchemical author who tells us that in order to sweeten another’s disposition we should follow this age-old advice: ‘Thus turn his scorn to kindest love; Steal from him the left-hand glove; With shining sugar fill it full; And tie it that it may not spill, with satin ribbons, blue and green; Then when the deed may pass unseen, Hide it underneath his pillow; He shall sleep, and melt, and mellow.’ In other words, if you’re not seeing eye to eye with one of your nearest and dearest, take one of their left-hand gloves and fill it up with sugar, tie it shut with blue and green satin ribbons and then hide it under their pillow. This might be magic, but Feng Shui has an easier cure for this agenda. If you’re quarreling with someone, simply send your Guardian Angel to see their Watcher Angel. Ask your angel to send understanding, healing and forgiveness to the other and envision this meeting. Once you practice this visualization you will see your sweetie softening and the anxiety disappear. Either way, there’s much magic to be had here and this is the perfect day to perform it!
