Welcome to the Year of Dragon !

Welcome to the year of Water Dragon ! A Chinese proverb states that all creations are reborn on New Year’s day. The Chinese New Year is a celebration of change ... out with the old and in with the new! ON NEW YEAR’s DAY: Decorate your home with symbols of good fortune. Here are some suggestions: - Colors: Bright red (happiness); gold/orange (wealth & happiness). - Fruits: Oranges and tangerines (good health & long life); tangerines with leaves intact - Circular candy tray (candy for sweet and circular for togetherness). - Flowers: If flowers bloom on New Year’s Day, it will be a prosperous year. - Red banners or couplets with New Year wishes and symbols of good fortune in gold. Some Fengshui tips for this time : GRAND DUKE JUPITER /  TAI SUI  太岁 :  This year, the Grand Duke is sitting at 120°SE1, or E5 mountain. Avoid working desk facing south east or undergoing renovation in that area.  THREE KILLINGS / SAN SHA 三煞  South is where San Sha is located for 2012. This is an area not to be disturbed by heavyworks and knocking either. If you are undergoing renovation, be careful with the south area. Gong Xi Fa Cai !!!!!! Cheers Preeti ult

Whats your New Year resolutions ?

How to achieve them…!

Top 5 New Year resolutions: How to achieve them…!

New Year's Eve has always been a time for looking back to the past, and more importantly, forward to the coming year. It's a time to reflect on the changes we want (or need) to make and resolve to follow through on those changes. Did your New Year resolutions make your home a perfect place to live in….?..Well your home is a place where you starts and then ends your day.

Top 5 New Year resolutions: How to achieve them…!

1. Spend More Time with Family & Friends – the Living area

Work shouldn't always come first! Spend a cozy evening with your family where you all may just sit and talk that’s why I recommend no television in living room.Remember eye contact is must when you talk to your wife, son, mom ,dad.

2. Enjoy Life More

Given the hectic, stressful lifestyles of millions, it is no wonder that "enjoying life more" has become a popular resolution in recent years. It's an important step to a happier and healthier you!

Throw a party, accessories your home with products designed to bring balance to your body, mind and soul. Or just get out and try something new! Pick up a painting which sooths your eyes and change the feel of your living zone. Go to artistic shopping…!

3. Get Organized

On just about every New Year resolution top ten list, organization can be a very reasonable goal. Whether you want your home organized enough that you can invite someone over on a whim, or your office organized enough that you can find the stapler when you need it, these tips and resources should get you started on the way to a more organized life.

Just remove all the clutter and let the energy flow in your adobe.

4. Get Out of Debt

Was money a big source of stress in your life last year? It's a promise that will repay itself many times over in the year ahead. So invite wealth in your home ,keep the entrance of your home absolutely clean and decorate it with rich elephants.

5. Quit Smoking

If you have resolved to make this the year that you stamp out your smoking habit, over-the-counter availability of nicotine replacement therapy now provides easier access to proven quit-smoking aids. Even if you've tried to quit before and failed, don't let it get you down. On average, smokers try about four times before they quit for good. Start enjoying the rest of your smoke-free life!

Understanding the elements of change, the stages of change, and ways to work through each stage can help you achieve your goals.

Wishing everybody a Happy and Prosperous New Year…! ............ Welcome 2012 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers

Christmas Decorating Tips !

Christmas Decorating Tips !   If you’ve been feeling the holiday blues or just want to get the new year off to a positive start, then incorporate these Christmas decorating tips into your home.    The objective is to maintain a balance between the core elements of Fire, Water, Earth, and Metal.   But for this particular discussion, let’s focus on how you can apply design principles to decorating your home for Christmas. Christmas gift suggestions: to your enemy, forgiveness. To an opponent, tolerance. To a friend, your heart. To a customer, service. To all, charity. To every child, a good example. To yourself, respect. Christmas is forever, not for just one day, for loving, sharing, giving, are not to put away like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf. The good you do for others is good you do yourself.   Candles to keep the energy. There are many ways to keep the energy of your home fresh, and the right feng shui use of candles is the easiest and most popular one. Candles, especially natural ones, such as soy or beeswax candles, do an excellent job of purifying the energy in any space.  That's all for this time have a Fabulous Christmas !!! and a Happy New Year !!!Cheers Preeti   Plants to purify the air. Vibrant plants always bring the healing essence of nature into one’s home.   Indoor air-purifying plants are the best choice, because along with beauty and grace, they also do a great job of purifying the energy, as well as calming the space.  Some of the most popular indoor air purifying plants are the Dracaena Janet Craig, the Peace Lily and the Areca Palm.   Red, purple and strong pink are highly advisable in order to warm up the energy of your home in the cold season. However, overdoing the vibrant colours in your decoration can promote burn-out and even emotional outbursts. Balance this strong Red of Christmas with a cooler color scheme, such as soothing light blue , cool silver or gray and calm white.

The amazing fact of such friendship  is once they bond with each other they become responsible and lovable with each other.
Thinking back, through all the memories and times, we all get to know the taste of each persons personality in our personal experiences with them.
We find many of those people whom we enjoy to be with because we share that common ground that lets you be yourself and feel comfortable. It really feels good to have friends on the same level as you. 


No two relations between any two people will ever be the same because only those people know what they have been through or shared together. This is what makes friendship such an exceptional thing. It is a very personal and unique thing. 
Friends shape you and form you as a person in so many ways. 


You always learn an unfathomable amount through friendships as well as accumulating a lot of personal growth. The significance of friendships lies in that it teach you unique lessons, an open mind, respect, growth and give you a strong feeling for who you are.


So lets celeberate these relationships in our lifes and thank all such buddies in our life !

Space Raga newsletter _ Choosing the right home lighting

In this issue, we will brighten your day by discussing different types of home lighting, so that you can easily choose the right types to match your decor.

Home decorating can be a lot of fun, but you won't like what you have done unless you think about every single aspect of your room. That means that you have to think about more than furniture and color. You also have to think about your lighting and what you want from your room and your light fixtures. Is it ROYAL,CONTEMPORARY or MODERN For home lighting, you might want to rely on a lot of lamps, and even some simple track lighting, depending on the overall feel of your home. Your options are really wide open, though most rustic pieces might not work in a more modern design. Using lamps in a sterile environment will warm it up, and using track lighting in a room that is very cozy can give it a touch of style. You can also mix and match, and find great pieces that might work in your home, even when they don't seem to match.	Your home lighting is important in both style and function. What you choose sets the mood for your home. You have to decide if you want to be practical, or if you want to be dramatic. There is no right or wrong answer, and only you can choose what works best for you.	PREETI Director Space Raga featured as "Women of substance " in Vellimalar magzine ,Singapore published 21st october 2011 Yet again a proud moment !!!!!!!!!!
It is possible to have both sensible and stylish home lighting, as long as you keep all aspects of what you need in mind while you shop. If you find something you like, but you don't think it fits, the choice is up to you. Just make sure it is a choice you will be happy with in the long run. Cheers Preeti
