Sharpen Up Those #2 Pencils and Take Note: 5 Feng Shui Tips For Back-to- School Success.

by Anonymous

August 19, 2004 -- Sharpen up those #2 pencils and take note: Re-arranging your child’s bedroom according to Feng Shui principles can create success at school. According to Feng Shui Practitioner Carol M. Olmstead, a few strategic changes can create a room that encourages good study habits and builds self esteem.

“Practical, real-world uses of Feng Shui include setting up a child’s room so that he or she is certain to succeed,” said Olmstead. “It’s not necessary to hang crystals and use a compass to make Feng Shui work for you,” she adds. “Simple, common sense changes are all part of contemporary Feng Shui.”

Here are Olmstead’s top five room re-arrangements for educational success:

Add a desk or study area to the child’s room. No more papers on the kitchen table or in front of the TV. Children who have a place to study…study! Position the desk so the child can see the door to the room.

Hang a bulletin board over the desk to display achievements. This is a good place to showcase awards and citations that your child receives, as well as art work, report cards, and great papers.

Add a globe and maps and posters of the planets and stars. Maps ground a child, globes encourage curiosity, and charts of the stars and planets expand horizons.

Add a fish bowl, aquarium, or collection of shells to the room. Fish and shells are symbols of educational success in Feng Shui, and taking care of the aquarium encourages responsibility.

Place family photos in the child’s room. Photos of parents, grandparents, and happy family gatherings help communicate love and security to a child. And with all that family support, how can your child fail!
