Yes!!
You can use Feng Shui to enhance your animal friend's life, and why not?
Your pet feels stress, happiness, sadness, excitment.
But how would you do that?
Easy.
We all know our pets personalities whether they are dogs, cats, birds,
lizards, fish, or snails.
So why don't we start there.
Feng Shui according to their personalities.
Is
your dog or cat hyper because they are so happy to see you and all
those who come to the door? Maybe some soothing colors in their choice
of collar, food bowl, or bed is required. In this case we want to look
at calming colors. In Feng Shui Earth tones put out fire so maybe to
bring down their excitment level with earthy tans, or browns, dark
greens are great for balance if you don’t know
what other color to use.
Also,
be aware of which bagua area they are sleeping in. Is their bed in the
fame and reputation area. This is considered a fire element and red is
very active. Is their area cluttered with toys, perhaps putting a small
box in the children and creativity area where dogs can access their
favorite chewies would solve this clutter problem. These are sure win
solutions to helping calm your cuddly critter.
If you are considering a winged friend, then the color of you cage may be something you want to look at.
Wherever
you put this bird they will always be keeping this area active. So make
sure it is something you want to enhance. There is such a thing as
placing to much active chi in an area. In which case you may want to
move them to an area that needs more work. Budgies are great for
anything that sits in the east. In many traditions the east is
communication and birds are a wonderful representation of that. So if
you have a bagua area in the east of your home that you would like to
enhance this may be just the spot for them! For me that would be my
money room!! Ideal!!!
Remember though to always keep their cages nice and clean.
Stables
are a wonderful and fun place to Feng Shui! The paddocks give way to
many places in which you can place ribbons that your beauty may win
could be placed in their children and creativity area and their family
photos (no kidding) can be inspiring. Pictures of you and those who
ride and care for the horse, pictures of their parents and grandparents
can lift the spirits and actually inspire animals.
Watch
how they react to the color of their bridles and blankets. Are they
indifferent, do they seem to have more of a pep in their step when they
are wearing a certain saddle?
This
goes for any animal. Watch them silently and see how they are feeling.
Maybe you have a prima dona pussy cat that loves sit on your little
girls jewelry box. Maybe she is trying to tell you it is time to adorn
her with a faux diamond collar (or in some cases not so faux!)
Alway remember that if something can inspire us, why not our animal friends? They are emotional beings just like us
Like
wise clutter can affect them too. I have been to many homes where the
home is cluttered and so is the dog house, and no one can understand
why the dog never uses it and feels displaced.
Small
garden beds are wonderful around pet homes too. Pick colors or plants
that are condusive to the bagua area your pets home is in, and that is
safe for your animal (if you have an animal that eats plants I do not
recomend this). For some animals this is a nice place to keep a special
toy.
I
know one dog that moved into a new home with its owners and lamented
the loss of his old garden because, as he told me, his bone fit quite
nicely and he could reach it quite readily. His family put a new
garden in right away and he was the happiest puppy ever. In this case
the house was in the back yard in the love and marriage area. The
owners painted his house a lovely red (this was an overly calm dog that
actually needed to be a bit more active). They also put in some nice
grasses in that they let grow to a nice length so he could resume the
nestling of his bones.
Be creative. Animals respond well to Feng Shui because they are so energetically aware.
