 Wall-to-wall carpet in a home can be both a blessing and a curse. Carpet creates warmth and ambiance. It gives freedom to roam the room sockless. Tile and wood floors have an effect that visually opens a room, making it seem larger than it is. Carpets give a room a vibrant life and increase the comfort level, particularly on cold, winter days. They will quickly lose their charm if not given regular attention and maintenance. Like anything of value, you get more use out of something that is properly maintained. When it comes to rugs, the common recommendation is to use a professional service like Agara Rug Cleaning NYC, They have the know-how and facilities to keep your rugs in great shape.

Being a Feng Shui Consultant requires the development of deep listening. Of course there’s a dialogue between you and the client, yet the conversation extends beyond verbal words. It’s understood in the practice of Feng Shui there is an unspoken exchange between the ‘unseen’ environment of the land and home to the consultant. This is referred to as investigating predecessor energy; becoming familiar with the previous life force energy from recent or past events that create a multidimensional cross wiring of frequencies.     Through this type of investigation, the Feng Shui consultant can reveal pockets of energy that could either be beneficial or negative. The process in how to examine the history could be accomplished through asking the current homeowner questions and if need be, condu... 08/12/2019
