Creating a Wellness Home – FREE preview evening February 9th in West Hampstead 7-9pm

Master Sarah McAllister — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 13:48:47 +0000

As Feng Shui consultants our job is to ascertain the health of an environment from an energetic perspective and provide suggestions for improvement.

Aside from lifeforce energy there are also very practical considerations such as air and water quality, which is why I make it known to my Feng Shui clients and students that the Nikken products work really well to cleanse drinking water and clean indoor air which is often more polluted than outdoor air.

There are also incredible Sleep Systems which help to earth your chi via tiny magnetic fields embedded in the mattress toppers and duvets.

I have had poor sleep since a teenager, but this system has helped me for the last 8 years to greatly improve my sleep and as a result feel very refreshed upon waking.

To demonstrate the wellness technologies (air filters, water filter systems both freestanding & plumbed, mattresses, duvets and even shower heads to remove chlorine) there is a dedicated wellness flat which is a show home and presentation venue for what is possible with the Nikken products and business model. Dalia and Eric Bergsagel will be our hosts and experts answering your questions about the benefits of the products and business model.

The event is Thursday 9th February 19h arrival for 19.30 start and approximate finish 21h-21.30h. The venue is in West Hampstead 5 mins walk from the Jubilee Line/Metropolitan Line Finchley Road station and about 15 min walk from Swiss Cottage.

Full address details will be provided once you register your interest.

The event is entirely free to attend, but note that parking is a little tricky in that area, the nearest car park being O2 Centre Finchley.

Some of my clients have had amazing results in terms of asthma relief, improved sleep and pain management. Many top athletes throughout the world use and endorse the Nikken products.

For more details on the products and business opportunity see my Nikken website

Here’s to healthy homes and healthy lives!

Are you having a Chinese Zodiac identity crisis?!

Master Sarah McAllister — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 20:38:26 +0000

A very common comment I hear from my Feng Shui clients and students is that they are confused about their Chinese Zodiac animal and Lo Shu number because many systems incorrectly work with the “Chinese New Year” instead of the Winter Solstice. This can cause great confusion in people and almost an identity crisis!

FACT: Chinese “New Year” is more correctly known as Spring Festival – it just got called “new year” because of the sense of new beginnings that Spring inspires. This year it fell quite early on 23rd January 2012. In practice, many households in China and Far East celebrate the Winter Solstice (around 22 December each year) as the real New Year, because this is the longest night representing the return of the sun – ie. the new year beginning. In Feng Shui terms it is the greatest yin, turning to yang.

So for those of you born after 22 December 1971 you in fact belong to the Rat Year, not the Pig year. Most books will tell you that you are still in the Year of the Pig but in fact you have a Lo Shu number of 1 and not 2.

And another common misconception is that we only use the year to assess your horoscope – in fact, we use the Year, Month, Day & Hour (and location, and even whether Northern or Southern Hemisphere) to create your unique natal blueprint.

It can be a little disconcerting for those people who have been lead to believe they are one of the larger and more overtly powerful animals like the Tiger and Dragon to discover they are in fact a Rabbit or Snake, but you will find that this true animal sign is far more accurate if you are really honest with yourself.

Zodiac Animal Traits – it is truly amazing how closely we resemble our astrological ‘labels’ especially when we do not yet know the predominant characteristics. The whole point of astrology is to find your naturalness, your unique qualities and how you are connected to nature and the flow of life. It helps us to make key life decisions such as when to marry (and who to marry!), when to try for a child, when to start a new business, when to divorce, when to move house etc. It is also very revealing about your health, capacity for wealth, personal power, fame and influence in the world. No serious entrepreneur should be without this chart as it’s information is priceless.

Click Here to order your Chinese Horoscope Online – no need to meet us – we can ‘open’ your horoscope remotely from any where in the world. Your report is entirely custom made to you and is followed up by a 30-45 min telephone or skype call to answer any questions you may have. Priceless information all for the small investment of £495 plus VAT.

Feng Shui Courses London Schedule 2012

Master Sarah McAllister — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 17:55:20 +0000

We just had a lovely Module A January 21/22 with some very interesting people including a Russian, an Italian, a few Londoners and a client of mine who travelled all the way from Brussels especially and let the whole class know about how much I have helped her family (getting their London flat to rent where previously no interest, cue a few of MY feng shui cures and there is a stampede of interest – and getting girls to sleep in the Brussels home where they had previously been very restless and on it goes… )

To distribute this fine knowledge to the world, we are planning another Module A followed by Module B and Module C. I would urge you to take advantage of this training with me as it might well be the last intake of mine for a few years, as my professional interests demand more of my consultation time. We would still be training people in London but the teacher might be one of my trusted associates David Knowles.

I would really appreciate your support in terms of forwarding this information to a friend and using the social media buttons to spread the good news!

The courses stand alone as independent modules so you can train up to any level but they build upon each other. Module A is compulsory for most people who wish to train extensively through Module B and C, and rarely is someone accepted straight onto Module B unless they can demonstrate significant Feng Shui education elsewhere, even then we recommend attendance at Module A as is full of really interesting information.

Module A – 31st March / 1st April

Module B – starting in May finishing in June

Module C – starting in September 2012

Enter the Dragon! 2012 Year of the Water Dragon Forecast

Master Sarah McAllister — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 08:39:08 +0000

How the natural forces of the universe affect the energies of the year is a fascinating subject called forecasting and refers to our Heaven Luck. I prefer the term forecast rather than prediction as I consider it more accurate and it also creates more psychological space to harness our Human Luck in order to better weather the forecast whereas prediction somehow sounds too final. We are never meant to feel victimized by the forecasts as this creates self-fulfilling prophecies, however, if we are forewarned we are forearmed and can fine-tune our strategies.

The below represents a very general outlook for each animal sign and are meant to help you weaken or avoid bad luck, rather than tell you everything that is positive – its your own responsibility to be positive in life and the Feng Shui consultant’s job to warn you of upcoming trouble! Please do understand that both your individual detailed horoscope and the Feng Shui of your home or office will greatly contribute to how you combine with the energies and if you want to engage at a deeper level then consider having your full horoscope ‘opened’ or a full professional Feng Shui consultation. DIY horoscopes or Feng Shui are not recommended!

Wishing you a peaceful, healthy and prosperous 2012 Year of the Black Dragon – all sounds very Bruce Lee!

Sarah
Master Sarah McAllister

General overview of the Year of the Water Dragon
The kua of the year is mixed 4/6 so it is a transitional year, as will be 2013 6/4 as the world moves into greater consciousness at a deeper level and energetic connections made to the future fates. This might not be fully felt within the mainstream until many years later in 2040 as society still has a lot of learning to do about how to govern and co-exist successfully with each other and the planet. Technology will get faster and faster and sadly more waste will be produced in the forthcoming years unless we hold firm and take ecological issues seriously and walk the talk. Pioneers of this evolution of heart and consciousness can be comforted that their message which may have isolated them in the past will be heard more and more from now on.

The Ba Zi horoscope
2012 is once again a weak chart, and it is weak metal and very tricky to correct – the water is too strong and a fire/water clash indicates more natural disasters, especially those starting in West and completing in the North. The Autumn and Winter will be the best times for the year with Spring and Summer having weak chi.

The Chue Yik I Ching reading
A brief look at this shows us that there will be more protests in the Western countries and government leaders risk just talking with no concrete action and might also demand more taxes from the citizens. There are increased likelihood of landslides in the Eastern countries or directions, so they should be careful not to carry out too much deforestation.

2012 CHINESE ANIMAL SIGN FORECAST

How to work out your Chinese Animal sign?
For those of you born from in the months of January to November you take the year of your birth from the lists below, however, if you are born around the Winter Solstice ie. between 20 Dec to 31 Dec then you will belong to the following year for example, someone born on 26th December 2009 might think they are an Ox but in fact the energy of the year has renewed at Winter Solstice and now become the Tiger ie. 2010. You do not work out from the Spring Festival dates in February as this is inaccurate.

Rat 1912, 1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, 2020, 2032, 2044
Well positioned for official power especially the Water Rat, so you mustn’t argue with them this year! There is some caution though as the Rat has the 2 black sickness star so they will need to take extra care of bladder/reproductive organs, kidney and stomach and not succumb to fearfulness. Be bold and display your courage! Depending on their life house position and Ba Zi this might not be a problem at all.

Ox 1913, 1925, 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, 2021, 2033, 2045
You will feel up against obstacles this year and must especially avoid anything associated with hooks such as bungee jumping, swings, trapeze and rock climbing. A good ally for the Ox is the lucky Rat who can help you avoid some of your bad luck this year. Depending on your year of birth you will fair better or worse, so the general advice is to just hold a steady course but don’t try anything too demanding this year. Wait for a fairer wind.

Tiger 1914, 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010, 2022, 2034, 2046
This is a good year for the Tiger, especially the water and wood tiger. They should do well if investing in wood, agriculture, forestry, crops, herbalism especially in the NE. The monkey month (most of August and early September) will not be good for the Tiger nor for investments in wood related industries. Avoid spending time this month with people born in Year of the Monkey, if you can help it – be polite though!

Rabbit 1915, 1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011, 2023, 2036, 2047
The Rabbit should see an improvement in career and a sense of personal power, especially if they have felt blocked for the last few years. They can open up their skill and do well. Good careers or investments this year for the Rabbit are florists or vegetable stores.

Dragon 1916, 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012, 2024, 2036, 2048
Even though the mighty dragon is the Leader of the Year, they are afflicted by some negative stars, so need to wear a protective charm. The type of charm will depend upon your full Ba Zi chart. The Dragon will likely feel confused this year and should keep their goals simple and not too ambitious. A good year for groundwork and preparation. Avoid going to visit sick friends/family and funerals as you are more vulnerable this year to catching the sickness chi.

Snake 1917, 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013, 2025, 2037, 2049
A good year for money but you mustn’t flaunt it or walk alone late at night as there is an increased risk of theft or serious attack. Check the security on your home or business premises. There is a mixed blessing with the money aspect meaning you could be tempted to lose it just as quickly through excessive spending or friends try to pinch it from you, so you must be careful to save well. A helpful ally for you this year is the Rooster.

Horse 1918, 1930, 1942, 1954,1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014, 2026, 2038, 2050
Travel suits the horse this year and will help open their career especially if it is to the South or the East. The horse doesn’t suit the North or Southwest this year, so avoid holidays to those destinations. They also need to exercise more outdoors preferably in places with wide open vistas.

Sheep 1919, 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015, 2027, 2039, 2051
The sheep needs to be careful in high places this year so only travel by air if absolutely necessary and beware of dangerous sports as powerful Heaven Poison is against you what could cause a very fast tragedy from on high. Certainly do not bungee jump or sky dive as this is just tempting fate.

Monkey 1920, 1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016, 2028, 2040, 2052
Take care not to do water sports this year or cross country skiing or walking in swampland this year. Make sure you alert people of your departure if you do walk alone in the wilderness and take a positioning tool so people can find you. You would be best advised to work hard on your career as this year has the potential to bring you powerful recognition.

Rooster 1921, 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017, 2029, 2041, 2053
Investing in jewelry this year is good for you and you have strong roots and will find money comes more easily from activities in the west. Network in the west and central parts of the city/country for greatest benefit. You have two auspicious stars this year strengthening your luck so make the most of it.

Dog 1922, 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, 2018, 2030, 2042, 2054
You are against the Leader of the Year – the Dragon – throughout 2012 so you need to wear a protective charm. There are two bad stars affecting you quite strongly as well. Overall you will find this year quite draining. I suggest teaming up with a Tiger who can help you.

Pig 1923, 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007, 2019, 2031, 2043
The pig could do well this year with easy financial gains, especially on the lottery, but don’t go to a lottery shop in the Southwest or gamble online in the month of July as it is not supportive for you. If you possibly can avoid important dealings with people born in Year of Sheep and beware of mafia like people trying to influence you.

My 2011 forecast came true! People power certainly has been a hot topic this year!

Master Sarah McAllister — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 14:51:02 +0000

I wrote a summarised 2011 Forecast for the Feng Shui Society (in January 2011), influenced by my teacher Grand Master Chan Kun Wah, but interpreted by my own wisdom and knowledge. I correctly forecasted that it was timely this year for the people to express their feelings to governments and also that petroleum would be supported by the general energy of the year. Below is an excerpt:

General overview of the Year of the Metal Rabbit

“Even though last year was the Yang Metal Tiger it had a very slow quality to it indicated by the very slow energy of the ‘mother parent’ kua 1/3, whereas the Yin Metal Rabbit is 3/2 so it should be a lot quicker and actually a lot more fun. If you have hobbies or a business interest that you have not been taking seriously as they might be a bit unusual or off the wall, then start them this year, as the characteristics of this year’s fate star supports the energy of exploration and innovation. Money should be easier to come by this year with the low 2 star in the kua. However, the Ba Zi chart of the year is again weak like last year, so the energy will be a little dispersed and an excess of water means governments will be too strong.

London Riots August 2011 – Image Source eu.techcrunch.com

Interestingly, wood is a required element in the chart but very weak and the woodlands and forests are under threat of being sold off in the UK and the destruction of Amazon is taking its toll as the trees now start to poison the atmosphere instead of cleansing it. Fire is the most useful element this year and the South is fairly strong and auspicious. Wood is also supportive, so wood related industries like garden centres, carpentry, teaching and medicine will be stronger, and the fire related industries such as lighting, make-up, arts, petroleum will be favoured by the natural energy of the year. We can use our hearts (fire) to overpower the governments (water) whose coolness and aloofness needs warming up – let your feelings be heard this year!”

This has certainly been the case this year more so than any other year as the UK has seen riots and uprisings in London and mass protest marches in Westminster Square. I in no way endorse violence and respect people who voice their opinions peaceably. Also, petrol prices have risen yet again and profits by the oil companies are at record highs and BP recovered from its disastrous losses due to the Mexican Gulf crisis and formed an alliance with Reliance and started earning profits into the billions again. I don’t really understand how oil companies see fit to pass on stupidly high oil prices to the consumer yet carry on extracting huge profits?

Anyhow, the point is that MY bespoke Feng Shui forecasting knowledge is extremely valuable. And the above was merely a summary! Imagine what detail I can provide for your business forecast and how powerful that knowledge would be for you either commercially, personally or both?!

Feng Shui Agency just planted trees in the rainforest of Honduras!

Master Sarah McAllister — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 23:20:05 +0000

I have a dream to protect the rainforest in significant chunks one day. This is the start of that dream!

My lovely little company Feng Shui Agency Ltd has just planted 40 trees in the rainforest of Honduras. Feng Shui Agency (aka me, Sarah McAllister and a group of Feng Shui boffins!) are already proud owners of several acres of protected swampland in Germany which we bought in 2005 before ethical business was a buzz word and we just wanted to do some good and help my friend Katja who founded this amazing charity! I am so thrilled for her that Naturefund has grown from such humble beginnings and recently won National Energy Globe Award in Germany and a few years back the Yves Rocher Female Social Entrpreneur award. Go girlfriend!

Give a meaningful Christmas gift by purchasing land for protection from NATUREFUND

And what better reason to make that long awaited trip to South America!

Students pass Feng Shui practitioner exam with flying colours

Master Sarah McAllister — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 16:08:05 +0000

Very happy that my latest group of Feng Shui Practitioner students passed their exam, after assessing a residential property in Hendon, North London. The examiner said the standard was very high from all of the students, so as their teacher I am very pleased, and knew they would do well as they have all worked so hard.
Some people think that traditional Feng Shui is full of scary portents and lists of dos and don’ts….well, yes there are some rules you should avoid breaking where possible, but the whole point about learning a skill in depth is that you can truly understand the subject and give advice with confidence and decisiveness, not from fear which is often based on ignorance. The only scary thing about classical Feng Shui is the amount of hard work it takes to master the subject!
