Feng Shui FAQs

Q – What exactly is Feng Shui?

A – Feng Shui means wind and water. These are the two natural elements that flow and move everywhere on Earth.  They are necessary for our survival.  Wind and water carry Chi, our energy or life force.  Using Feng Shui principles allows us to use this flow of Chi to enrich our personal life and environment.

Q – Is Feng Shui a religion or superstition?

A – No, it is a philosophy, art and science of creating balance between humans and their environment.  It allows you to harmonize your surroundings and in turn, it supports and empowers your personal life.

Q - Why is it important to clear up clutter?

A – Clutter in Feng Shui represents stagnant or negative energy.  It blocks the smooth flow of Chi throughout your home.  A cluttered home, office or desk will energetically weigh you down, cause you to have difficulty making decisions, stop new opportunities from coming into your life, and cause you to live in the past. Clear out that clutter!

Q - Why is my home’s front door so important?

A – In Feng Shui the front door of your home is the ‘mouth of Chi’. This is where our opportunities in life, good luck, and fortunes enter. The area leading up to the front of the home, including the door should be clean, well maintained, unblocked and welcoming.  Remember to open your front door everyday and let in the possibilities!

Q – Do I need to purchase new furniture and accessories at a great expense just to do Feng Shui?

A – Absolutely not!  If needed, a certified consultant will make recommendations to rearrange your furniture to improve the energy flow in your home.  Too many accessories will cause clutter.  If suggestions are made to use Feng Shui enhancements, they can be subtly placed.

Q – How do I arrange a Feng Shui consult?

A – Contact Phoenix Feng Shui at phoenixfengshui@comcast.net for an onsite residential consultation.  Consults can also be completed via the telephone for busy or out of state clients.  Details will be provided to you so you can get started right away!

My book, Live an Abundant Life with Feng Shui, can also answer many of your  questions!

Home Staging FAQs

Q – What is home staging for real estate?

 A – The terms home staging, home showcasing, or interior redesign have been used by consultants to help sellers and agents get a home ready for an open house.  They all mean the same thing: rearrangement of existing or rental furniture and accessories to create a home that is appealing to the highest number of potential buyers. 

Q - What are the benefits of home staging to the seller?

A – Studies have shown that a staged home sells faster, has a competitive edge, enhanced marketability, a higher value and attracts serious buyers. A staged home looks more organized, polished, and neutral enough to allow buyers to picture themselves living there comfortably.

Q – What areas of the home are included in the consultation?

A – The staging process begins with the most important area – curb appeal.  If a potential buyer does not like what he sees from the street, he drives away.  The seller must capture their interest on the way to the front door. Once inside, an eye-catching arrangement of artwork or accessories draws the buyer in to see more of the home. 

Q- Does Phoenix Home Staging work with agents and realtors too?

A – Absolutely!  A buyer will decide in about 5 seconds upon entering a house if they will buy or not. It is critical to bring us into a home that needs some ‘TLC’ before the open house.  Our goal is to show off every room to its best possible advantage. For agents:  a staged home means a shorter sale time, reduced marketing expense, and the agent increases his reputation for excellence, and builds a loyal client base.  Even Realtor Magazine recommends home staging!

Q – What makes Phoenix Home Staging different from other stagers?

A – We teach the seller how to become real estate savvy by allowing them to master easy design techniques to enhance their home for a quicker sale.  These techniques are based on design principles of furniture placement, color, focal points, clutter control, traffic flow and the use of accessories.  We also charge a reasonable flat rate, not a ‘per hour’ or ‘per room’ charge as most other stagers.  Our process is not intimidating or costly since the seller will use their own rearranged furnishings.  We do not have to combine Feng Shui principles to the staging if the seller does not want them. We welcome the opportunity to assist all sellers and agents in the Southern New Jersey area. Please contact Phoenixhomestaging@comcast.net for more information on Home Staging.

Young Living FAQs

Q – Can you tell me about the Young Living company and its founder?

A - Founded by D. Gary Young, ND in 1993, Young Living Essential Oils is world renowned for exceptionally high-quality essential oils, dietary supplements, and personal care products.  Gary began his quest for self-healing after surviving a near fatal accident that left him paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair. Unwilling to accept his fate, he searched for natural ways to heal his body. This led to the discovery of essential oils, which inspired him to formulate herbal food supplements and other products with essential oils.

Q – What is an essential oil?

A – Young Living’s oils are liquids distilled in a specific manner from shrubs, flowers, trees, roots, bushes and seeds. They are highly concentrated and more potent than dried herbs or most ‘health food store’ oils. Young Living oils are pure, cannot go rancid and have powerful antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal properties. In the body, they stimulate the secretion of antibodies, neurotransmitters, endorphins, hormones and enzymes.  Essential oils have a chemical structure similar to that found in human cells and tissues.  This makes them acceptable to our body.

Q – What are some health issues that can be helped with essential oils?

A - Studies have shown that specific oils help wound healing, slow cancer growth, stop headaches, reduce pain and inflammation, help PMS, depression, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, insomnia, enhance circulation, build  immune function, lower stress, promote hair growth and other health issues.  Because of their complexity, essential oils do not disturb the body’s natural balance.

Q - Can you explain why Young Living’s antioxidant drink is so healthy?

A - NingXia Red contains Chinese Wolfberries and other properties that enhance the immune system, fight free radicals, reduces pain caused by inflammation, promotes good eye health, rebuilds white blood cell counts, strengthens cells, increases energy levels, slows age related memory loss, stabilizes blood sugar, contains natural vitamins B, C, E, Essential Fatty Acids and Amino Acids – no wonder its called a SUPER FOOD!  To learn more about this product, and to place an order, please visit www.YoungLiving.org/DonnaCantone. Distributor #870618.

Q – How can I learn more about the oils and start my own business from home?

A – You can learn about essential oils, place an order, and start your own work from home business at www.YoungLiving.org/DonnaCantone.  Distributor #870618.
