Hi Karen,

I have Read both of your books. I just find the topic fascinating. We just moved into our brand new house and I was considering painting my room. It is located in the Relationships area so would it be advantageous to paint the room light pink or even better, light green, since I read from other books that green would we ideal for teenage students?

Thank you in advance for answering my question. Your attention is very much appreciated.

I don't give this type of advice by email. To give any kind of feng shui advice it is necessary to meet you, understand the direction your life is headed, visit your home, feel the energy of the land, and so on.

There is no magical formula for colour schemes that can just be generally applied. Think how limiting it would be if all teenagers had to have light pink or green bedrooms!

My best advice is therefore to consult with a feng shui practitioner who can give you personalized advice, or if this is beyond your means, the next best thing is to choose your colours intuitively. The great thing about paint is that if the colour really doesn't work, you can always change it.

As a final note, understand that the original purpose of physical decoration was to emphasize colours that already exist around a person in the etheric or astral realms, or to bring in colour frequencies that they need to assist them in their spiritual journey. As so few people now see these energies now, this art has been lost and reduced to the type of formula you mention in your email.
