Floral Arrangements Guide

Unlike most creative arts, floral arrangement has the advantage of natural, not man-made material.

In all the centuries of mankind we have been unable to reproduce the thrilling combination of soft texture, graceful lines, radiant color and delicate scent found in a single rose.

Science has, however, greatly advanced the planting of garden flowers by constant research and experiment.

History shows us that as far back as 562 B.C., King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon designed the beauti­ful "Hanging Gardens" for his wife, Amytis. They are one of the "Seven wonders of the world."

Today we see about us our own lovely gardens, some formal, some informal, designed to enclose our homes in an aura of enchantment.

The desire to bring some of this beauty into our homes gave birth to the art of flower arrangement, which is by no means a new one.

The Japanese people used it centuries ago in their daily life and re­ligion. There it is called "Ikebana" and is an art for all of us.

All we need is the appreciation of beauty and a few flower arrangement implements.

The fields, woods, brookbanks, gardens, and of course your local flower shop are abun­dant with the many varieties of plant materials used in flower arrange­ment.

As you page through this site, you will find that it tells in simple copy and illustrations, just what you want to know about your new hobby.

The possibilities of Floral Arrangements are unlimited.

Feng Shui Peach Blossom Romance Method
John Mausolf
Peach Blossom Romance Activation Method

This method is only to be used to attract a new romantic partner into your life, this is not a method to bring peace to troubled relationships. Only the Flying Stars Feng Shui method can help smooth over rough waters in relationships, assuming both partners want the same outcome of course!

To use this method effectively, one needs to know their Earthly Branch or Animal character for their day of birth using the Four Pillars Chinese Astrological technique.

Make sure that no one else in your home shares the same Peach Blossom Romance Direction as you before activating this, as they will be triggered off also! Not good for somebody you are sharing your home with, who is in a solid relationship already, as they will develop a wandering eye!

This Earthly Branch Day Character can be found by entering your time, date and place of birth details into the free online calculator on Master Yu's old site, at, http://www.geocities.com/fourpillar/charting.html
Don't worry about the hour detail too much if you are unsure of your exact time of birth, we are only after the day character for the Earthly Branch for this Romance attracting method. Do work out the day character for every occupant within your home and then check the table at the bottom of this page so as to make sure that you are not unwittingly activating the Romantic effect of the Peach Blossom for anybody else.

For those of you who love to do things manually, step by step instructions for drawing this up can be found in The Complete Idiots Guide to Feng Shui - 2nd Edition ISBN 0-02-864339-9



To attract a Man: Use a Green spherical vase filled with White flowers.

To attract a Lady: Use a White spherical vase filled with Red flowers.

Make sure the vase you use is spherical, not cylindrical and use the right colour combination of fresh flowers and vase for your preference of partner!


To use this method: Once you have worked out your Earthly Branch Day Character, simply locate the vase and flowers within one of the four sectors of your home as indicated in the following table. To work this out you will need to have a compass alignment of your home, and know where the gravitational centre point is.
(These steps are covered in our free online course, at http://www.purefengshui.com )
Then simply place the vase and flowers anywhere within the 30 degree portion indicated for you below in the Peach Blossom Location Finder.
