Happy Leap Year! from Feng Shui Long Island and Manhattan

Happy 2012 Leap Year! from Feng Shui Long Island and Manhattan

The History of Leap Year

The Ancient Egyptians were the first to discover the discrepancy between a strict man-made calendar and the shifting seasonal year.

Starting around 45 BCE, Julius Caesar introduced Leap Years by adding one day to the calendar or doubling one day (giving the day the nickname "bissextile" or "twice sixth"). In the Roman calendar, February was the last month of the calendar; therefore the extra day was added in February in the Julian calendars.

More precise calculations of the Earth's rotations were determined by the Gregorian calendar in the 16th century. The Gregorian calendar is a modification of the Julian calendar first used by the Romans. In the Gregorian calendar, Leap Years are only those divisible by four, such as 2012, 2016, 2020, 2024. ~information provided by ibtimes.com

Some interesting facts about Leap Year

This is the only time of year when it's excepted for women to propose to men, the script is flipped. And in past times, if the man refused her proposal he would be fined a great amount of money. That is pretty funny :)

So what did Feng Shui consultant Laura Cerrano do today to celebrate Leap Year?

Ms. Cerrano took advantage of the day and made sure her care was inspected before March 1st. Thank you Leap year for providing her with this extra day to accomplish what needed to get done :)

Letting go of Depression with Feng Shui by Manhattan Feng Shui

Letting go of Depression with Feng Shui by Manhattan Feng Shui

photo by Saxzilla

It's disturbing to hear the biggest rising clientele for anti depressants is children, let that be children who are in Preschool. This is sad, shocking and should be a huge wake up call to everyone. It should also make us wonder, do we give up to easily to help one another or are we just looking for a fast solution? Which time and time proves it creates more problems. Children by nature are "pure" energy in the sense of not really being exposed or cluttered to the nonsense and challenges of the world, yet. By teaching and providing our children with a solid foundation and supportive environment to begin building their core personalities will allow them to become strong willed individuals.

So, what is being said when we hear Preschoolers are being prescribed anti depressants? There could be so many factors contributing to this trend being passed on by doctors and pharmaceutical companies. Yes, in some cases it is necessary to have an extra helping hand but at Preschool? Situations that could be contributing to children feeling more depressed may come from their physical, emotional and social surroundings in locations such as school and/or home.

Yes, we are all working non-stop and that is because it's the requirement of our American society and culture. So in order to survive you do what you can, very understandable. But, what If you did not have to "work like a dog" such as in Australia for example. Mood swings, stress, anxiety and depression are all extremely low. Aussies put in their eight hours a day of work and know when to balance that with play. Interestingly enough, Feng Shui is widespread and very much part of their lifestyle down under.

Here some Feng Shui Tips to help Let go of Depression for Children and Adults


  • Yes, Laura Cerrano Feng Shui consultant repeats this a lot but it's true! Declutter your home, letting go of items you do not use, need or love. There reason goes deeper than just to have an organized house which does help. Objects in Feng Shui carry energy, just as your home and land has a soul. Those objects that do not carry a positive energy can create pockets of negative energy and depending on where they are placed in accord to the layout of your home can have even more of a negative impact.

  • Treat you self and your family to a Feng Shui Consultation. March is right around the corner, which means Spring is not to far behind. This will be the perfect time to assess your home/land and enhance the energy with simple and practical Feng Shui changes. A house blessing to clear out any negative stagnant energy is a must and should always be included with your Full Feng Shui Consultation.

  • Allowing the outside in, reconnecting with nature is huge! How many times have you heard friends or family say they do outside activities to de-stress and relax. When people vacation, they usually end up traveling to the mountains or beaches because of the atmosphere that is offered, it's a healing, calm and fun feeling. Bring that concept into your home and surrounding land. Think about what makes you smile or feel relaxed when you explore the outdoors. Is it the beach, forest, mountain, desert, flowers and gardens, the ocean...it will be catered to you. You can represent those idea with artwork, statues, the style of furniture, rugs, decorations, photos and colors displays around your home.

  • Buy fresh flowers and/or lush green plants to help enhance the energy. Plants in Feng Shui are a natural life force and have been proven to enhance memory, communication and overall happiness. For children and adults, growing a plant is such a wonderful teaching and healing tool and is highly recommended.

  • Outside your home, think of the same. Do you enjoy having butterfly bushes around your home because they call to butterfly's and other exotic birds. How about adding flowers or solar lights leading up to your front entrance to nicely greet you, guests and the energy. What about a fountain in the backyard located in the wealth corner to enhance prosperity but also peacefulness with the soothing sounds of the gentle flowing fountain. Some clients enjoy creating a garden, which is excellent! So many ideas, it's really what suits you.

  • Do not be afraid to add color in your home, children love color. Color therapy is nothing new and a huge principle in Feng Shui. Be sure to add touches of bright colors if you find your home is more coated in the dark tones. Think balance, dark needs light and light needs dark. Spring is the season to break out! Feng Shui recommended colors to improve your mood, yellows, oranges, light blues, peach, pink, light beige's and earth tones. Open your windows and blinds as well to filter in daytime light and close them in the evening as to capture that energy.

  • Exercises to balance your endorphin's and boost your mood. You do not have to be a "gym rat" but workingout or doing some kind of moderate exercises proves to improve your emotions, self esteem and overall you are treating your body right. Look into Yoga (meditation), Kung-Fu, exercise classes that promotes being in a group to help you meet new people Make sure your children play outside, use their imagination. Everyone take a break from any kind of technology that requires you staring at the screen.
  • With good exercises comes proper nutrition, you can not have one with out the other. Eat fresh fruits and veggies, try and cut back on heavy meats, think lean if that is what you prefer more. Even try a cleansing of your body but talk to an expert before proceeding. Find one that is safe and works for you, very important.
  • Meditation is very important to helping you heal spiritually, it purifies the mind and restores your spirit. Chinese medicine says being angry and/or depressed reduces your life energy. Negative emotions can truly impact your well-being and longevity. Find the style of meditation that best suits your needs and that you feel comfortable with. The Chinese believe Tai Chi is the best way to literally replenish your life energy that has been lost during stressful times in your life.

"A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds."
Francis Bacon

Keep your eyes and ears open to see and hear all the new opportunities coming your way. Also, be sure to become a "go getter" and persistence when developing yourself and even a business. Only so many opportunities and new experiences will be presented to you, the reaming percentile is up to you...going that extra mile. Think outside the box, go outside your comfort zone and you will be presently surprised with what you find.

Feng Shui Long Island, Inc. and Feng Shui Manhattan, Inc. have always been involved with community projects and volunteering when able to. The love for motivating and inspiring others is a core key element to Feng Shui. This past year I have been consulting and personal training with many clients that have been recovering or going through treatments for Leukemia and Lymphoma. To honor them and their family members I have recently teamed up with The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Team In Training for the Grand Canyon Hike for a cure in May of 2012.

I have a mission-to help find cures and more effective treatments for blood cancers. To accomplish that mission, I’m participating in a sports endurance event as a member of The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Team In Training. Like the other members of TNT, I will be raising funds to help find cures and better treatments for leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma. I’m improving the quality of my life by participating and with your support; I can help improve the quality of life for patients and their families as well.

At no set amount, Ms. Cerrano asks for your help and if you can please make a donation in support of her efforts with Team In Training and help advance the research for cures. You can donate $10, $15, $20 or up, it's what you feel comfortable with.
