Candace Connors Vorhaus | C3D Feng Shui Expert

As part of my life’s journey as a healer and teacher, this past winter I earned my Reiki certification. Developed in 1922 by Japanese theologian, Mikao Usui, Reiki is a hands-on healing practice that balances ch’i (life force energy), and can help you relax, reduce stress, sleep better, reduce the negative side affects of drugs and heal faster from illnesses.

While in my training, Reiki master and owner of Inner Healing Arts, Charyl Ozkaya and I discussed Feng Shui. We talked about how my mission was helping people transform their lives and businesses by focusing on their personal spaces, and Charyl asked how her center could improve.

I told Charyl that arriving for my first class I immediately felt blocked. Why? Because on entering the main room, there were coats, clutter, and a stack of folding chairs behind a makeshift curtain at the main door. Here is a picture before C3D Feng Shui:

My advice was simple: add color to promote healing, clear up the entrance clutter, make a Feng Shui design adjustment to the blocking wall at the entrance, and because of Inner Healing Arts warm and peaceful intentions, once the suggestions were done, the ch’i would take care of itself.

Take a look at the results. Charyl couldn’t be happier. Inner Healing Arts painted the room a sunny yellow, the color of health in Feng Shui. They cleared the clutter and organized the space. Most importantly, they removed the clutter from the main entrance and placed pleasing art and a lovely plant against the blocking wall.

That’s it. Color, Clutter, Ch’i, and Design, C3D Feng Shui. How can I help you transform your life?

Retirement homes and medical facilities don’t have to be drab and dreary. My 91-year-old mother now lives at Indian River Estates, an ACTS life care community, in Vero Beach, Florida. As her health declined, Mom was assigned to “Medical” where she has 24 hour supervision. The former facility was institutional. To visit her room, we walked down a long, dreary hallway lined with patients in wheel chairs, biding their time. It was depressing. I felt so sad and conflicted leaving her there.

Six months ago ACTS built a new facility for the nursing home patients that has wonderful Feng Shui. My family and the staff could not be more pleased. Most importantly, Mom is very happy. She now says she’s at home, and her memory function seems better. I believe the reason my mother and the staff are happier is because of the good Feng Shui.

The exterior has a beautiful entrance surrounded by trees and flora natural to the area.

Guests and residents are welcomed into the interior with a gorgeous fountain. Fountains bring life and good ch’i to the building. This is especially important in a retirement home where the ch’i of residents is waining.

Mom’s room has traditional looking furniture that is more like what she is used to. Most important, the room configuration is Feng Shui correct. She is more relaxed with the bed in commanding position, ie she is away from the door and she has a clear view of anyone coming in the room. No longer is the bathroom within the bedroom, but around the corner in the antechamber. That’s good Feng Shui.

The common rooms are designed to be open, warm, cheerful and feel like a home. There are several pleasant areas throughout the facility where families can spend time together.
