In this Video block we show you how to chose your block of land using the basic principles of balancing yin and yang.  Instead of spending so much time chasing your tail looking for the right master to study with you can use some of the simple videos, audio material, articles, e-books, blog posts that I have written over the last 10 to 14 years to help you. There is simply no substitute for personal experience. Since I have been in practice, I have been experimenting with, testing, examining, collecting my own portfolio of case studies. It was a very

mindfulness meditation – in a nutshell Now days it is almost as though mindfulness meditation is the new sliced bread. Everywhere we turn people are talking about mindfulness in various contexts. In fact the word mindfulness has slipped seamlessly into daily parlance. So what distinguishes mindfulness meditation from sliced bread? what distinguishes mindfulness meditation from sliced bread? Mindfulness meditation seeks to bring us into a meaningful awareness of what we are doing from moment to moment. We have many examples in our daily life of when we are mind-less. That is, when we are not in charge of our decisions,

People have differing reasons for considering a consultation. People usually make contact when they are looking to make big changes to their homes such as moving, remodelling or renovating the current home, building from scratch. Whatever your reason you are here and you are interested in a consultation. Vicki recommends That you make contact as early as possible in your design process even before engaging a designer or an architect - "it is much easier to have a 1 hour meeting with you and the architect / designer than critiquing designs that you are both 'committed to".

Today is a yin metal ox day. The ox is earth and earth supports metal. Barack Obama and Julia Gillard are metal oxen. There an no special stem connections so lets move on to the branches. The ox and the rat are part of the season of water but they cannot transform as there is not water in the stems. However the ox and the rat can combine to form earth - there is earth in the month stem, this is therefore effected. The earth strengthens the metal day master. There is no effective opposition, except for the yang metal

Very brief blog today as am on a flight interstate so no time to attend to this in depth. Today is a yin metal ox day. Ox is yin earth. The earth supports and nurtures the ox.

25th June 2010 bloodless coup in Canberra, the world applauds Obama's swift action to replace McChrystal. Well it was a momentous day yesterday eh. What is unfolding today? It is a yang fire horse day, sitting next to a yang water horse day, and the year is yang metal tiger. The tiger and the horse make the half frame of fire. The emperor of the day is yang fire and the horses are yin fire. Yin and yang fire = competition between males and females. It will be interesting the see what happens when Julia Gillard and Tony Abbott face
