We are in the middle of the Year of the Ox; that slow, steady, hard working energy has characterized most of the year so far. Periodically I take time to really examine my living space to see where I can strengthen the feng shui and, as a result, enhance my lifestyle.home

For some time I’ve been planning to extend the hard scape and patio area in my backyard. I’ve had different design ideas but I basically know what I want in the finished look. The area involves the East Family/Health and the Northeast Knowledge area. In this case, extending the patio will create more balance and make the outdoor living space more functional. I was struggling with a small part of the area (that will eventually be the extended patio) because it seriously lacks a beautiful focal point and I consider it to be a “dead zone” when it comes to foliage.

Let me tell you where I’ve made my mistake while waiting for the right time to move ahead with this project. This so called “dead zone” makes up a small part of my backyard and, from an aesthetic point of view, looks lifeless and bleak. From a feng shui perspective it weakens the balance of the exterior. Every time I look at the area a little dissatisfied voice in my head makes a criticism. Symbolically a “dead zone” is not good, along with the simple fact that the energy is not “vital” in that area of the yard.

Most of us have areas in our home we want to update or improve when the time is right. Avoid making the mistake I did by at least making some enhancement, even if it’s temporary. This is especially true if you have an area that is bothersome to you. My solution was to carry the design elements from the rest of the backyard to remedy the area where the “void” was. The arrangement is reusable and dollar wise because I’ve already started growing the trees that will be planted at a later time.
