Wyrdling: I don't think red hair counts because it's not a true red. Red hair has various shades with more orange then red. You are aiming for a RED RED, a highly saturated pure red.

I practice Pyramid Feng Shui (Feng Shui for the modern world.) We do not hang flutes off the ceiling or any of that other stuff. there are 8 schools of Feng Shui, all with varying remedies and cures. I like Pyramid because of it's TAOIST philosophy.

You could walk into a house I F>S. and you would never see reference to anything that seemed weird. If you want to learn more about Pyramid F.S> go to google and type in Pyramid + Feng Shui and that will take you to the site and all articles Pyramid FS.  

I hope this post on Protecting Yourself From Negative Energies brings to the surface how we are affected by energy coming from so many different places. We need to get thru these turbulent times intact. We are here to be happy and peaceful despite all that swirls around us. Right now

this is the only life we have. Try to be happy! 

Good Thread.

I had to sort through all this a few years ago myself.  I always wear a Saint Christopher's medal - and if you are an empath it helps deal with negative energy when you go out into the world.  I also find prayers to Saint Michael help quite a bit as well.  If you are having trouble and are picking up too much on other peoples energy, quit drinking and don't do any drugs - at all.  Drinking and drugs damage your energy field, damage your aura, and actually do not help with it being strong and you being balanced and centered.  I try to take a shower at the end of the day to rinse everything off when I get out of work and off the train.  Dion Fortune wrote "Psychic Self Defense"  Which is worth a read if you are having big problems.

Barbara Hand Clow wrote that the generation with Chiron in Pisces would be dealing with this and needing to clear the aura.   It was just good to find her and realize there was nothing wrong with me - just picked up on things a lot of people did not pick up on. 

I'm new to positive thinking myself.  I just started a month ago, and I can feel a difference.  People always told me 'think positive' and in the end I kept asking myself 'HOW?!'  My best friend, a beautiful blond-haired Pisces--she's angel, I'm convinced of it--basically dared me to think positive, and I hardly ever refuse a challenge like that.  Especially coming from someone like her.  I adore her.  So, I started thinking, feeling, facing the earth with a yearning toward 'positive energy'.  Sometimes my thoughts of being positive and feeling positive can feel overwhelming, almost as if my feet are no longer on the ground.  Other times I need help, so I look to laughter.  If I can't make myself laugh immediately, I picture something ludicrous (like Walt Disney giving his Disneyland dedication speech punctuated by Jim Carrey dry-heaves) and pretty much end up with a smile.  It's not the approach for everyone, but, then again, I've never met anyone like me... :D
