"But
making an artistic home, making a home that is the expression
of beauty in all its phases, is the greater career of any individual
soul.
This is the closer expression of that which has been
manifested in the experience's of man's advent into materiality."
Edgar
Cayce reading 2571-20
The intent of this eGroup is to empower you to work confidently and competently with the energy within your home, to hear what your home is telling you that you don't yet hear, to see with "feng shui eyes", and to address some of your issues through material changes that support your intentions. These four weeks will be an introduction to essential concepts and an initial analysis of your home. Feng Shui is an ongoing process. As our lives progress our intentions shift, our circumstances change; indeed we change. If you embrace these principles you have the choice, the ability, to live an intentional life.
You will learn techniques that assist you to:
- Bring more love into your life - a date, exciting romance, a new love
- Create more opportunity in areas of your career.
- Enhance your finances.
- Identify how clutter is holding you back in your life.
- Express greater creativity in your life.
- Heal estranged family or business relationships.
- Manifest help when you need it and be conscious of helping others.
- Create a more comfortable and supportive home environment.
- Identify symbols around you that do not reflect who you wish to be.
- Experience a deepening of self knowledge.
You will learn about:
- The history and background of Feng Shui
- Yin and Yang balance
- The Five Elements (water, wood, fire, earth, and metal)
- The Bagua (Life Map)
- Element Cycles
- How the above mentioned systems relate to each other and how to use them together
- Some basic rules about "poison arrows", beams, and
adjacencies of room placement
- The importance of proper bed and desk arrangements
- What makes a home, office, or any space, comfortable or not so comfortable
- Various "object cures" such as mirrors and crystals
- The three secrets, the intention setting ritual for object cures.
Learning Methods:
- Audio presentations: Each week there will be an audio-streamed lecture on that week's teachings.
- Journaling: You will be asked to
identify and begin with three intentions for your life that you desire
to work on during this eGroup. As you learn to align these intentions with
areas of your life, you will record in your journal where they are physically
in your home and metaphysically according to the Bagua, or life map. You
will be asked to identify your clutter. You will be asked to note the changes
that you make within your home, the object cures that you use, and any
specific occurrences or general changes that you observe.
- On-line readings
and lessons: Each
week you will be given articles to read, all of which are authored
by Peggy unless otherwise designated. You will be given exercises that
support the week's teachings and enhance your analytical abilities
and your "feng
shui" eyes. You will then be able to bring additional insight to the
energy existing in your home and see further modifications
that you may wish to make in order to enhance your life.
- Floor Plan: You will be asked to draw a simple floor plan of your home to work with
in conjunction with the Bagua.
- Edgar Cayce readings: You will have (at
least) one reading each week that relates to Feng Shui teachings, and
there are many.
Mentor Bio:
 Peggy Joy Cross, founder of Designs for Harmony, has been a professional Feng Shui teacher, lecturer, writer and consultant since 1998. Her mission is to assist and guide her clients, friends and family in achieving beauty, joy, harmony, and desired change in their lives.
In her pursuit of excellence, Peggy
has traveled coast-to-coast studying Feng Shui,
including Compass School, Vaastu Shastra, Black
Sect Tantric Buddhist School of Feng Shui, Pyramid
School and Space Clearing. Although she has trained
in several Feng Shui schools, she finds the practice
of Black Sect Feng Shui to be the one she turns
to most often because she believes this school
is more empowering for her and for her clients.
She is also a great believer in following one's
intuition, our connection to the Divine. She honors
the wisdom of the Master, H. H. Professor Lin Yun,
who advocates staying open to all Feng Shui teachings
in the belief that there is always more to learn
and there will always be new things with which
to work in our rapidly changing world.
Peggy incorporates
her background as an interior designer into her work
in Feng Shui. Her belief is that beauty, and this is
beauty to the individual living in a space, is a constant
uplifting energy for the inhabitants. Beauty is in
the eye of the beholder. One of Peggy's design gifts,
realized long before she was a professional designer,
is her ability to make any home or office comfortable,
regardless of the style of design. One of her favorite
teachings comes from William Morris, a designer and
philosopher of early last century: "Have nothing in
your home that you do not know to be functional or
believe to be beautiful."
Living
in Virginia Beach, Peggy has become much more familiar
with the philosophy and readings of Edgar Cayce.
Looking at the Divine inspirations for Feng Shui
and Cayce's teachings, she has been led to research
that compares these two powerful schools of thought. Her article on the alignment of Feng Shui
and Edgar Cayce teachings appeared in the July/August
2007 issue of "Venture Inward", the magazine published
by the Association of Research and Enlightenment, or A.R.E., and sent to its
membership worldwide.
In
addition to Hampton Roads and other areas of Virginia, Peggy has Feng
Shui clients in California, Florida and several Midwest states. She
has had a dozen articles published in SW Florida's "Natural Awakenings". She has been published in the "Naples
Daily News", appeared as a guest on WTVK in SW Florida and interviewed on radio regarding relationships and Feng Shui. She has been featured in the Florida publications "Fort
Myers New Press", "Properties of Distinction", "Naples
Illustrated" and "Gulfshore Life".
Peggy Cross received her BFA in Interior Design from The Ringling
School of Art and Design in Sarasota, FL and her BA in Political Science from
Indiana/Purdue Universities at Indianapolis. She is a professional member of
the American Society of Interior Designers and The International Feng Shui
Guild as well as a Florida licensed realtor.

What's an e-Group?
Your A.R.E. eGroup will meet on an Internet discussion board. This discussion board has been created especially for A.R.E. by BulletinBoards.com, a secure Internet site that makes learning online interactive and easy. In Internet terms, your eGroup is called a "discussion board", a virtual meeting room where you will join with other like-minded people and your mentor, Peggy Cross, in an interactive discussion on Feng Shui.
In the virtual meeting room, you will have access to the written and audio
materials prepared for you by Peggy. Every Wednesday, Peggy will post a lesson
along with exercises for you to practice during the week. Posting is very similar
to sending e-mail, except that all the e-mails are viewed within your virtual
meeting room. You may post your thoughts, questions, and experiences on the
site for Peggy and the other participants to read and respond to. In this way,
everyone will benefit from one another's experiences and insights and the coaching
offered by Peggy to individuals.
Once
you register for your A.R.E. eGroup, we will send you an e-mail from eGroups@edgarcayce.org
detailing how to access and navigate our discussion board for the eGroup Feng Shui Living an Intentional Life. Then,
you're in! You will be able to visit your eGroup any time you desire. The meeting
room is accessible 24 hours a day/ 7 days a week and you may participate at
your convenience from anywhere in the world. There are no specified times that
you have to be in the room. You decide when and how often you wish to participate.
"For, as has been indicated from the innate experience as well as from the longings within, a home--home--with all its deeper, inner meanings, is a portion of the entity's desire; to know, to experience, to have the "feel" of,
to have the surroundings of that implied by the word home! Is
it any wonder then that in all of thy meditation, Ohm-O-h-m-mmmmm
has ever been, is ever a portion of that which raises self to
the highest influence and the highest vibrations throughout its
whole being that may be experienced by the entity?"
