Spring cleaning your home or office? Feng shui it

Spring in Buffalo brings annual spring cleanings, decluttering, yard sales, and real estate purchases. Feng shui adds another level to all of them. Why? Because at home and in the office, Feng Shui offers a way to assess and work on life issues.

As a Certified Feng Shui Practitioner, Linda Ellson offers a unique background when she advises clients. With a BA from Canisius College and professional experience in marketing, operations, special events, and the film and entertainment business, she was Director of Operations at the Niagara International Trade Counsel when she moved back to Buffalo. The Trade Counsel became the World Trade Center Buffalo Niagara.

Her work with commercial spaces has included advising professionals in every field, retail store owners, churches, communications businesses, and holistic health practitioners. Home buyers and sellers can also benefit from Feng shui placement of furniture and household items, Ellson says.

“Here it is a process to create balance and harmony in your surroundings. Through the physical arrangements of your furniture, selection of colors, and use of symbolic objects, Feng Shui creates a welcoming environment to help promote wellness in your life or success in love, wealth and happiness.  By incorporating the dynamics of energy flow known as Chi and The Five Elements: Earth, Fire, Metal, Water and Wood into your home, either decoratively or through the elements themselves, Feng Shui creates peaceful and harmonious surroundings that positively affect all aspects of your life."

Her list of services includes:

  • An in-depth Classical Feng Shui analysis of your home/office
  • Written room by room recommendations
  • A walk-through consultation
  • Hands on Feng Shui
  • An annual update
  • Weekly appointments to plan and complete decluttering
  • Complimentary coaching for six weeks after the initial consult

 A few of her practical tips:

  • Hang education diplomas and academic honors in the Northeast.
  • Think pairs in the Southwest. i.e. Two candlesticks, a photo of you and your mate, two pictures hanging side by side.
  • Hang a wind chime in the North to get your career flowing.
  • Place a lucky jade plant in the Southeast as your symbolic money tree.
  • Display children’s artwork in the West.
  • Whenever possible, sleep with your head against a solid wall.
  • Place photographs of family in the East.
  • Take your shoes off at the door and honor your sacred space.
  • No mail on counter tops.
  • Have a place for your car keys
