Feng Shui Looks At Every Detail even Your Office Chair  Ideally the type of chair suggested to have in your office is one that provides great support and comfort. The base of the spine needs to be positioned correctly so that the upper body is balance over your lumbar vertebrae so there is no compression which leads to poor posture, stiffness and soreness. Feng shui is very much in tune with the importance of muscle fitness and maintenance.  Here are some fast tips when choosing a chair Be sure the seat base Is level Just as suggested with the bedroom, be sure when sitting on the bed or in this case your office chair-your feet are able to be flat on the ground. Tilt your seat forward slowly until you feel your lower back in  a position where you do not need to lean back. Adjust the heig... 08/08/2014

Act as If You Have Already Achieved Your Goal Part 2     Back on July 10th 2014 I shared a story of a client who was on the search for a job. A brief re-cap is he began sending out resumes while also acting as if he already had the job, by shinning his shoes, dry cleaning his suits and preparing his calendar. I promised an update and so here it is. Not too long after dropping off his dry cleaning he received a call for an interview.  He had to go through 3 rounds of interviewing and I am happy to announce he received the job. The other lesson I also wanted to point out from his experience is that, he did not sit around and wait for someone else to help and wallow in pity of self doubt.  He did all he could and put on his best, put himself out there and wasted no time. He also asked for ... 08/02/2014

    Most of us love Facebook right?  And I don't know if you have noticed lately but man I am receiving a lot of tests and/or questionnaires lately.  Must be the latest trend!     What type of super hero are you? If you were an animal what would you be? What does your name mean? Which president are you?     So I thought I would throw out a test for ya.  Which one of these personality traits do you need?   Narcissist Manipulator Psychopath   Scared to answer?   Kind of creepy?     .....I know probably not exactly a question you were expecting but let me explain.   Sometimes scientific research teaches us things that we really want to know and things we might not want to know.  That is what seemed to happen when psychologist studied West Point cadets to learn what personal qualities were... 07/29/2014

Which Way do You face the Lucky Frog?-Also Known as the Money Frog The Lucky Frog is suggested to best be positioned near the front door from inside facing into the house. This symbolizes directing the flow of opportunities to come into your life to help enhance your money flow. If you choose to face the lucky frog looking toward the front door, you may encourage those opportunities to be pushed away.   07/25/2014

How Does Sound Positively Impact your Living and Working Environment? Have you ever been to a concert? Or perhaps you enjoy listening to specific types of musical instruments or even just love hearing the sound of another person's voice? All that relates back to different sounds (no matter the tool used to create them) that can lift people's moods transforming stress into a more harmonious energized state. Feng Shui also suggests the use of items that produce sound to help create positive boundaries between areas within your home while also offering a means of energetic and at times literal protection.     06/16/2014

Feng Shui Eyes See Your Environment as A Metaphor of Your Life After experiencing a Feng Shui Consultation the changes you make are not meant to be done all at once so please take your time. that is part of the process.    Your environment is a metaphor of your life currently which allows you to shift your focus through visuals cues presented within and around your home. Their job is to help motivate you and attracted the future you see for yourself-while also teaching you to be present in the moment ( as you make changes emotionally , mentally, spiritually and physically).   Yes you have goals, yet your focus is not solo on the end result. It's more about the journey and process to accomplishing your goals for that is where the evolving of self comes from.    For example, if you have a... 06/16/2014

Tap into Your Creative Expression with Feng Shui in Mind This area of the Ba-gua tends to get ignored when enhancing the environment of one's home.  In order for one to experience the journey of manifestation, creativity and "imagination" are absolutely key. Your creativity activates, joy, enthusiasm, and participation in life. It does not matter what method of creative juices you squeeze from :) Just begin to tap into and act upon your ideas and thoughts within that realm of life. Begin to surround yourself with people who are within that energy field, listen to music that puts you into that state of mind, create a space within your home to support that drive and just do. 06/16/2014

Wise Words to Live by   "Discipline means choices. Every time you say yes to a goal or objective, you say no to many more." - Sybil Stanton   We have all been down this path and sometimes even relapse with saying No to our goals, let that be consciously or sub-consciously.  In a world with so many distractions, procrastination and excuses has become an easy habit to cultivate. Or maybe, it's not even that? Perhaps it's just fear of the unknown with taking the necessary steps to obtain that goal.  Do not be fooled or afraid, to reach any goal will require hard work, focus, discipline blended with that of bravery and courage.  Allow "yes" to be within your vocabulary. 06/08/2014

Do you Frown Upon Rainy Days? Some say they hate rainy days while others will perceive it as a day of opportunity.  If you have to be kept inside due to the weather, you may as well use that time to your advantage.  Perhaps you could start working on that book you have talking about writing or de clutter that closet or spare room you have been meaning to get to.    My mother taught me from a young age, when the energy seems to slow in pace with one goal, that could be an opportunity to shift gears and refocus on another goal that was put to the waist side for x, y or z reasons.    Like an artist you are never only working on one piece at a time, there is always that next creative idea waiting for it's turn to be nurtured and brought to life. 06/08/2014

Keeping It Real With Feng Shui—It Is Not a Product The Western approach to Feng Shui interprets the need for material based products in order to shift energy. "If you do not buy this you will not be protected or have good luck,etc." These are common messages sent out to the population. If you are brand new to the practice of Feng Shui and feel you need objects, then so be it.  It's what works for you. Yet, be mindful by reading or hearing, "you need this" type of approach, it could unfortunately create a fear based approach and please note, Feng Shui is nothing to be fearful of.  99% of the time everything you need is already within arms reach, simply waiting for you to view it from a different perspective and intent of use.  I tell my clients-before you go out and buy all this "stuff" ... 05/23/2014

Complaining only manifests...More Complaining Energy flows where attention goes. That is a common saying among Feng Shui consultants.  When your first encounter a situation that involves conflict it's only natural to "complain," for you are trying to understand whats happening.  It's an emotional response. Now, if you keep running into that same situation, lets say with the same person, know you have a choice.  Either you can continue to complain about him or her or you can take action in acknowledging the nature of that situation and facing it. As you digest the nature of that person's behavior and your own, it will become clearer with what needs to be done in order to help diffuse emotional tensions. Once that situation becomes more at ease, try not to feed your Ego by constantly thin... 05/12/2014
