"Feng Shui Finds Calgary" 
Published in Business in Calgary, June 1999.
 
The ancient oriental art of balancing energy is winning new converts
in the business and personal lives of many Calgarians.

In its simplest form, feng shui (pronounced fung shway) consists
of ch'i management.  Ch'i - the universal force or energy - is always moving. 
You don't want to block it completely (ie: a stagnant pond will kill fish) and
you don't want to let it go completely out of control (ie: an avalanche).  What
you want is balance and harmony that is beneficial to yourself and your environment.

The concept of ch'i management has been at the heart of Chinese thinking for
thousands of years.  A simple way to experience the concept of ch'i is this little
exercise provided by Chinese-American architect and author R.D. Chin in his 1988
book Feng Shui Revealed.

He says we in the west don't pay much attention to the effects of ch'i because
of our reliance on technology.  But try carrying 50 kilos on your back on a straight,
even path; then carry the same weight up a slight incline.  Then say you don't
believe in the effects of ch'i.

Although it is an ancient and respected art in China, feng shui's reputation in the
west has been rather more spotty.  Some of the designers of the American crafts
movement studied oriental design in the 1920's and 1930's.  Frank Lloyd Wright
dabbled somewhat in oriental themes for a time.  And the Flower Power revolution
of the 1960's introduced many North American teenagers to the I-Ching, Taoism
and feng shui, only to lose out in the end to sex, drugs and rock and roll.

But feng shui has taken another, more serious and longlasting turn through
North American society starting perhaps about 10 to 15 years ago.  While it is
very prevalent among overseas Chinese communities, it has recently become a
major force among North Americans, especially in California, Toronto and
Vancouver, and the US eastern seaboard.

Now it is beginning to gain adherents in Calgary, spurred in part by publicity
generated in other cities, and by the advent of small design shops such as
Wind and Water Designs Inc.

The two principals of this shop , Margo Trofimenkoff and Suzanna McNeil
consider themselves serious students embarking on a lengthy study of the subject.
If clients are uncomfortable with their approach, they will not hesitate to
recommend a Chinese practitioner of feng shui.

Anyone interested in feng shui should know that there are several schools,
roughly divided as the form and compass schools.

The form school, as practiced by Margo and Suzanna of Wind and Water Designs,
and by the author R.D. Chin cited above, derives from the Black Sect Tantric Buddhist
movement.  It is said to incorporate more elements of contemporary science and
Western knowledge, it uses the concept of visible and invisible elements, and the use
of transcendental cures and blessings.

The compass school is derived from the luo pan, a compass of three concentric rings. 
The inner ring is the ba-gua (representing the earth), the middle rings represent life and
the outer rings are heaven.  In this school, the feng shui master operates somewhat as a
geomancer, using a complicated arrangement of numbers and symbols to arrive at the best
siting of a dwelling, the best location and orientation of rooms, walls, window, doors, and so on.

What Margo and Suzanna do is much more intuitive and involves the client a lot more.  They
too use a map, the ba-gua - the eight trigrams used to divine feng shui.  But before that happens
a lot of consultation take place.  First, they will explain what feng shui is and if you need more
information, they will refer you to other sources.  Then, if it's a dwelling or home office you want
to deal with, they will ask you a series of questions about your space.  What things make you
feel positive, what things make you feel negative, and how these factor into your overall life.
A lot of times, your own feelings about your dwelling or  work space are linked to personal
problems or difficulties.  By getting you to think about these issues, it can often become evident
how physical elements can affect one's emotions and spirituality.

Some of the principles are very simple and most of us practice them without calling it feng shui. 
For example, few people would place a desk facing a wall with your back to the door.  It's an
uncomfortable feeling.  Similarly, long, unadorned hallways just don't feel right either.

Other principles of feng shui are probably beyond our ken and require a bit of understanding.
For instance, if cooking is not a major part of your life, it probably doesn't matter too much
how your kitchen is arranged.  But if cooking is something you really enjoy, then you might
consider the feng shui principle of having a reflective surface near the stove.  This derives
from the ancient principle of "double the burners, double the food," an allegorical
expression for a long, healthy life.

There are many design specifics involved in feng shui, but it is above all, an integration of the
physical and spiritual.  It is not about placing a bunch of weird Chinese objects in your home
and then expecting to win the lotto or some other big prize in life.  It won't cure cancer and
won't keep the bailiff from your door if you don't pay your bills.

But if Jerry Seinfeldt would have done a show on feng shui, he would have logically asked;
"Sounds interesting, but what's it good for anyway?"

It's about improving your life starting with the two places where you spend
the most time - your home and office.

Margo Trofimenkoff of Wind and Water Designs has been involved in
numerous feng shui projects in Calgary and says that "you can feel the change
immediately.  The results can be quite dramatic."

Margo and Suzanna believe that a lot of it involves letting feng shui into your
life.  "It is the intentions that count," says Margo, when emphasizing the
selection and placement of design objects.

With many clients who work out of home offices, Margo says Wind and Water
Designs is well know already in Calgary and the trend may even some day
go uptown to the big corporate offices.




"Harmony in the Workplace"
Published in People & Possibilities Magazine - Fall 1999.

   Corporations and businesses - large and small - are coming to realize that it is to
  their advantage to create a positive environment for their employees.  When people work
in a
space that feels good; they are more productive, less errors occur and morale is high.  This
is obviously a benefit for the corporation or
business, but it is also a benefit for the employees. 
How many people come home from work feeling drained -
emotionally, spiritually and physically? 
At least forty hours per week is spent in the workplace; wouldn't it
be wonderful if that time
was spent in a space that made you feel good?
 
               Feng Shui is a relatively new concept for us here in Canada, but in many other countries
in the western
world it is very "main-stream" and used by corporations of all sizes.  There are
retailers that set
up their stores using Feng Shui, architectural firms with on-staff Feng Shui
practitioners, large hotel chains
are incorporating Feng Shui principles into their new projects
and renovations, investment companies
and banks are using Feng Shui to increase their success,
etc.  The interest in Feng Shui is growing
rapidly as people discover that, yes, it does work!
 
        When we are hired by a business to do a Feng Shui consultation, we will first ask
some questions about the company:

THE HISTORY  - What type of business is it and what are the goals?
   - How long has it been in business? -
       - Is the business thriving or struggling?
With what aspects?
                   - How long has it occupied the existing space?
                 - Who were the previous occupants and were
        they successful?
 
                 THE ORGANIZATION - Who are the principal people running the company?
                                               - How many employees are there and what do each of them do?
                                                       - Are there any problems with the relationships between employees?
                                                         Between management and employees?  With clients or customers?
 
            The next step is to assess the EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR of the business space:
 
                       - Are there any negative influences coming from
                 surrounding buildings?
                   - Is the signage clearly visible and attractive?
                      - Is the entrance easily accessible and inviting?
                           - Is there a reception area or space that welcomes
                          both clients and employees?
                                  - Are the principles of the company in the appropriate
                                           "commanding position" of the space?
                          - Are the individual offices arranged in the most
                               advantageous manner?
                          - Are shared office areas arranged so that each
                            person has equal space?
 
              After we have spend time getting to know the company and the people in it, we
then map out the space
according to the Ba-gua.  This shows the location of each Life
Aspiration and we can then make
suggestions as how to "stimulate" these areas to benefit
the company and the people working there.
  This Ba-gua map is also applied to individual
offices and rooms and even to each desk.
 
              The Life Aspirations are the same ones that apply to a residence, but they
have slightly different
meanings for a business:
 
CAREER - refers to the aims of the company as well as the
                  individual careers of everyone involved.
 
              KNOWLEDGE - refers to the ongoing learning that is required in
                                         order for the company and individuals to grow and prosper.
 
                        FAMILY - refers to the relationships between everyone in the company.
                     It is also important to honour past contributions.
 
          WEALTH - refers to abundance; of finances as well as good will
and reputation.
 
            FAME - refers to the path that the company wants to take in the
                         business world, as well as its standing and reputation.
 
                           RELATIONSHIPS - refers again to the relationships within the company,
                             as well as the relationship with customers / clients.
 
                             CREATIVITY - refers to the creative powers of everyone in the company -
                                                new ideas and approaches are essential in helping a
                                business grow successfully.
 
                        HELPFUL PEOPLE - refers to the outside people who help the company;
                                        bankers, consultants, etc, as well as customers and clients.
 
               HEALTH - refers to the emotional, spiritual and physical health of
                              everyone in the company.
 
              Another important aspect of business Feng Shui is the concern with the physical
comfort and safety of everyone in the space.  In our every increasing electronic age we are
constantly surrounded and bombarded
with Electromagnetic Frequencies (EMF's).  Many people
spend their entire day sitting in front of computers,
working with photocopiers, fax machines,
etc, all under fluorescent lighting.  This EMF energy has been proven
to be detrimental to our
health - we must be aware of it and try to minimize our exposure to it as much as we can.
 
                        COMPUTERS   - the monitor and tower of a computer emit a lot of EMF energy;
                                           the rear of a computer actually emits far greater EMF's
                                                     than the front, so be aware and try not to direct the rear of the
                                                         monitor at another person.
                                                 - Live plants soak up some of this negative energy, so try to
                                                          have one close to your computer (peace lilies /  spathyphylum
                    plants have been found to be the best)
                                                   - There are commercial devices that are available to place on
                                                     computers that will help neutralize these negative energies.
                                                 - Natural quartz crystals also work to help neutralize EMF's
                                                          (3-4" in size) - place one between you and your monitor.  It is
                                                       also beneficial to wear a natural quartz crystal while you are
                                                        working on your computer.
                                                  - Have your computer plugged into a power bar so that when
                                                       it is not in use so you can completely turn off the electricity.
 
              Did you know that in other countries in the world (ie: Australia, Russia, Japan, Switzerland, etc)
there are laws governing how much EMF energy a computer can emit?  We have no such laws
here and as a result cannot
purchase "clean" computers that are legislated in those countries?
 
           FAX, PHOTOCOPIERS, ETC - try  to keep these as far away from where
                                     people sit as possible.
                                             - Live plants soak up some of this negative energy, so try
                                      to have  one close to these machines (peace lilies /
                                          spathyphylum plants) have been found to be the best)
                                                    - Again,  there are commercial devices that are available that
           will help neutralize these energies.
                                          - Natural quartz crystals work to help neutralize EMF's
                                               (3-4" in size) - place one between you and the machines.
 
            LIGHTING - incandescent is the best, but if fluorescent is what you have,
at least try to use full spectrum bulbs.
 
There are some good books about EMF's that are worth reading, just ask us!
 
              Feng Shui principles can be used to help create a wonderful environment for everyone
to work in.  Even if
your company is not "Feng Shui savvy", there are lots of things that you
can do to make your
own personal workspace a pleasure to be in - all without anyone noticing!

"Feng Shui in Small Spaces"
Published in the Calgary Herald, July 7, 2001
(see below for article text)
 
            Call it a New Age Phenomenon, Far East Mystique or even mumbo-jumbo.
The fact is, "it" - Feng Shui - seems to be here to stay.

            The imagination of many of homeowners continues to be captured by the art of
Feng Shui, which is based on the concept of creating a positive energy flow through
the house by way of an ancient Chinese philosophy.

            "The concept is growing in popularity," says Margo Trofimenkoff, a local practitioner
of the philosophy.  "Now, you 're able to buy elements of Feng Shui, such as fountains,
everywhere, and people are hiring Feng Shui practitioners for office consultations as well
as in homes.  Some businesses, like architects, even have Feng Shui consultants on staff."
            The principles of the ancient philosophy are even more important when living in a space
with restrictions, says Trofimenkoff of Wind and Water Designs Inc.

            A key to creating an atmosphere of harmony and balance is to bring in the Ch'i, she says.
"Ch'i is the life energy force that flows like water, and you want to encourage it to flow
into your space.  It's more difficult in an apartment or townhouse."

            The energy must be able to come into the house through the "mouth of Ch'i".
That's easier done in a home, where the front door is in a more open area and is
more accessible.  Or, if you're building your own home, you can position the
home to best advantage.

            However, in a condo, there are pre-determined floor plans for door placement and,
usually,  most of the units look the same, so the Ch'i isn't attracted to one over the other.
          Also, the doors to units are often inside a building, along a long corridor.  And condo
by-laws can restrict alterations of any kind to areas that are public.
            So, that means there's even more reason to create an appealing path for your
Ch'i, says Trofimenkoff, also an interior decorator.

            But the work required to do this needn't be extensive, she adds.  In fact, the right
atmosphere for Feng Shui can be created in any home, regardless of size or style.
Feng Shui isn't Oriental design, nor does it have to involve major renovations.
Wind and Water Designs, for example, follows a Black Sect type of Feng Shui
(one of more that 30 different kinds) which is not as traditional, and uses more of the
elements of contemporary science and western knowledge.

            In a northwest townhouse condo that Trofimenkoff has Feng Shui-ed, for example,
three flower pots are placed in a gentle curve that leads to the front door.  A more traditional
Feng Shui would place more emphasis on the direction the door faces.  At the entrance, a
hanging plant (which is replaced by a small tree with lights during the winter) leads the eye
to the door.  Generally, when creating a path for Ch'i, "where the eye goes naturally is
where the energy will go as well."

            A windchime or wind sock can help get the energy up to the door, as can even a simple
door knocker, name plaque or wreath, especially effective on an apartment door.
            As long as it appeals to you, virtually anything will work in providing a welcome, and
these smaller articles may be easy to place in a condo complex.

            And, if possible, try painting your door red - a naturally appealing Feng Shui colour,
says Diann Rubenstein, a certified Feng Shui practitioner from Los Angeles, who was in
the city recently as a seminar speaker for Hunter Douglas Window Fashions.
"Ch'i loves colour and it's especially important in a condo because there's only
one way into the home.  All the energy comes in here."

            Once inside, no matter how small the area, create a place for the energy to settle
and move through the home.  Ideally, the foyer should be expansive and well lit.  In the
townhouse shown on this page, the front closet was removed to provide more space, but if
that's not possible or practical, try putting a mirror there to reflect a larger area. Add elements to
the area that you love - a cherished piece of art of something else that will create a welcome.

            Moving from the front door, the home is divided into eight areas, as well as a centre core,
or heart of the home.  Each area represents different life aspirations and each creates a balance by
using five different aspects of nature - Fire, Earth, Metal, Water and Wood.

            By following the principles outlined by Feng Shui practitioners, who believe the homeowner
can create an environment that works in harmony with the wants, needs and ambitions of
the owner - and it doesn't matter how small a home is.

            "It's a combination of good design, common sense and intuition" - and sometimes just
plain old faith, Trofimenkoff says.  It works, and often, no one knows quite why. "By changing
the energy of a space, you change your own energy."

            The far left corner of a home, for example, is the wealth and prosperity area - the
worst place to have a bathroom.  "The toilet literally flushes your money away." she says.
But if you're stuck with the placement of the room, try putting a mirror on the door,
keep it shut when not in use, and keep the toilet lid down - something the
women of the household will be happy to hear.

            Other elements of a plan which can suck the energy flow away from the
house are large windows. Simply place a round crystal ball in the window to disperse
the energy in many directions back into the home.

            The crystal is also useful if the condo has few windows. "There's not enough natural
light, so the crystals bring the light in." says Rubenstein.

            Boxy designs can ba another challenge with condos, she says.  "Very strong right
angles are problems; they create dead energy, so those spaces need to be softened. Use
enhancements to liven up the corners, (such as) a live tree, chimes, artwork,
fabric draped in the corner (and) colours again."

            Creating a balance of elements is also key.  A life aspirations map is used in Feng Shui,
with the different areas representing important aspects of the home - owner's life.  Hence,
the shape of the floor plan is an important consideration, mapped out in a square or rectangular shape.
If your floor plan isn't that shape, you'll miss elements altogether (an L-shaped floor plan, for example,
may miss the Wealth and Prosperity corner).  In a home, those areas can be re-created
outside, but that's more difficult in a condo.

            That's where professional help may be needed.  Plants, fountains, certain colours, light,
mirrors, crystals are all useful and easy ways you can create a harmonious atmosphere
that will make your condo truly your home, if they're placed in the proper way.
            And start by getting rid of the clutter, says Trofimenkoff.  "All the Feng Shui adjustments
in the world cannot override the effects of clutter; it detracts from harmony and movement
in a space - and remember, there are no hiding places in Feng Shui."

            In a condo, where living space is sometimes limited and storage space is golden, that's
practical advice no matter where the Ch'i may be.  And there's no mumbo-jumbo to that.

Life At Home
"Harmonious Kitchen, Harmonious Life"
Published in Calgary Herald February 16, 2003.
(see below for article text)

            As Tita prepares the cake for her sister's wedding, the tears course down her cheeks
into the batter. Tita, the main character in Laura Esquivel's Like Water For Chocolate,
has every reason to cry.  Her sister is marrying the man Tita loves.
            When the cake is served, the mood at the banquet quickly transforms from celebration
to sadness. Everyone who takes a bite is seized with the bitterness of Tita's tears and soon
the guests are "wailing over lost love".

            Sound farfetched?  Not if you believe in feng shui, the ancient Chinese teaching of
harmonious living. According to Gina Dolinsky, a Calgary feng shui practitioner, the energy we
bring to the kitchen while we're cooking is infused in the meals we create. "If I'm cooking
with love, my family will feel loved.  If I'm cooking from a place of irritation, that's what's
going to come out in my food".

            Over the last few years we've heard much about how the practice of feng shui
(pronounced fung shway) can be applied in many rooms of the house; now it's the kitchen's turn.
And under this philosophy, there's far more going on in the kitchen than potatoes boiling in a pot.
You can start with the placement of the stove and the colour of the kitchen's walls; they'll
contribute to the taste of your pot roast, as will the kitchen's location and elements of its
design, say feng shui practitioners.

            Feng shui is an ancient set of rules and principles that helps us establish balance and
harmony in our living and working environments.  Developed in China thousands of years ago, feng shui
was first used by sages who watched the cycles of nature to determine the best location for imperial tombs.
Various schools of thought developed and though each has its own approach, the goal is to encourage the
healthy flow of chi, or vital energy, for a successful life.
 
            Think about it this way - chi is the life force that inhabits all things.  It courses through
our bodies, but when it gets stuck it can make us sick.  Acupuncture is believed to release the energy
blockage and stimulate the movement of chi.  Feng shui is essentially acupuncture for the house.
Chi needs to flow gently through a space and when it gets stuck our lives can be deeply affected.
            Margo Trofimenkoff, a Calgary interior designer for more than 20 years, says that this ancient
Chinese tradition is not a style of decor, but a way of creating balance and harmony with the decor
we choose.  "My view is that with interior design and feng shui you can come in and design a space
and no one will know you (as a feng shui expert) have even been there."

            Trofimenkoff and Dolinsky practice the Black Hat Sect, a combination of Tibetan Buddhism,
Taoism, traditional feng shui and contemporary western knowledge.  They place a ba -gua, a template
that divides the home or room into eight areas, or life aspirations (career, knowledge, family, prosperity,
fame, relationships, children and helpful friends, as well as a central core), according to where the chi
enters the space.  This allows them to map out the region and stimulate the life aspiration area that
the client wants to change.

            The kitchen is one of the three most vital areas in the home, says Trofimenkoff, whose
business, Wind and Water Designs, is based on the principles of feng shui.  The kitchen is the
hub of the home, where the family is nurtured.

            The stove is the most important factor in the kitchen as it affects more than just health and
vitality. "The stove represents wealth", says Dolinsky.  "It's about nourishing yourself so you can
be strong and healthy to go out and make a living, buy better food, feed a bigger family."
            In feng shui, the placement of objects is vital.  First, says Dolinsky, whose company
Living Spaces works with residential and commercial clients, the kitchen should be at the back of
the home where it's protected.  "The place where you prepare food needs to be safe, a sanctuary - it
should be a cozy area where your family will linger."  The worst place for a kitchen is in the front
of the home where your "wealth" is on display.

            If the table's near the front door, she says, people will eat and run, which isn't good for
family relations.  A kitchen in the centre of the home is also not ideal.  The stove (which represents
fire) would be burning in what is considered the centre of the body, the heart of emotional, spiritual
and physical well being, causing indigestion and arguments.

            Should your kitchen be in a less-than-favourable location, don't call the contractor yet.
Feng shui offers "cures" to help solve placement problems.  In the two previous cases, hanging a
metal windchime or a round, faceted lead crystal between the kitchen and the front door is the best
solution to deflect sha chi, or negative energy.

            The ideal place for the stove is on an island facing the door so the cook can see who's
coming and going.  "Traditionally our stoves are along a wall with our back to the rest of the room,"
Dolinsky notes. "In that situation, the cook can get startled when someone enters the room.
Subconsciously this produces a nervous cook and that's the kind of energy that's going into the food."
The cure?  Dolinsky suggests placing a mirror on the wall behind the stove so all activity going on
behind the cook can be seen.  A mirror also creates the impression there are more burners which
symbolically amplifies health, wealth and prosperity.

            The worst place to have your stove is within view of the front door.  "Coming home every
day and seeing the kitchen right away conditions us to think about food which can lead to
eating disorders," cautions Dolinsky, who suggests placing a screen or hanging a metal windchime
between the front door and kitchen to balance the energy.

            Remember, it's not enough to hang a mirror over the kitchen sink and forget two months
later why it's there.  Feng shui is about designing and reorganizing with intention.
            Says Trofimenkoff: "If you want to change something inside yourself and your change
your exterior to match where you're going, it can be very powerful."
 
         HINTS FOR A FENG SHUI KITCHEN ...
  A mirror behind the stove optically doubles the number
of burners (as well as the amount of food prepared), which
symbolizes an increase in potential affluence.
                Keep sharp knives hidden away in a drawer where the blades don't
             touch, or in a block.  Their cutting energy presents the element of danger.
                A dripping faucet allows energy to leak away unused.
                Metal wind chimes act to scatter energy.
                                                        Round, faceted lead crystals help to attract and deflect energy.
 
                - Keep the area open - chi needs room to flow.
 
                - Light up your kitchen - chi gets stuck in shadows.
 
                - Plants and freshly cut flowers are excellent chi attractors.
 
                - White, subtle beige and soft yellow hues create a
harmonious atmosphere.
 
                - Keeping everything clean "honours your wealth".
 
                - Things must work properly - a dripping faucet is
money down the drain.
 
                - Using all the burners equally spreads prosperity.
 
                - Clear out the clutter - chi stagnates in the stack of
                 unopened mail on the counter.   Clutter,  says Trofimenkoff
                   "is depression manifesting itself as apathy."

AUTO BRIEFS
"Feng Shui Your Car"
Published in Calgary Herald Driving Section May 28th, 2004.

 
DRIVING - We've all heard about the benefits of feng shui in our homes and
even at work.  Now, a Calgary feng shui practitioner is extending it to the family
vehicle.  "Our vehicles are a reflection and extension of ourselves, so why not
honour them as we would our other spaces ... did you know that your car can be
feng shui-ed too?" writes Calgary author and interior designer Margo Trofimenkoff.
 
"How much time do we spend in our cars in this city?" she points out.
"Your car can actually be mapped out," Trofimenkoff says, much like a home.
"I think it's one of those ways we can create a sanctuary for ourselves.
In decorating terms, people think of it as nesting."
 
According to Trofimenkoff, you can tell your car's gender by the gas cap:
As you face the car from the front, the gas cap on the right indicates
feminine, on the left masculine.
 
Trofimenkoff offers these tips for good car feng shui:
 
- The state of your automobile can impact dramatically the state of
your well-being and productivity - keep it clean and uncluttered.
 
- Hang a protective amulet from your rear-view mirror.  If it falls off, it means
it has protected you from negative energy - replace it immediately.
 
- Name your car.  If you have a personalized connection with your car you
