7 Feng Shui Secrets...
my revelations after working in hundreds of homes.
I have been a Feng Shui consultant professionally for four years. When i was 11, my parents had our home Feng Shui’d for the first time. I remember this little lady come into out home, compass in hand and what looked like a bag filled with various coins and shiny frogs. Since then i have been fascinated with Feng Shui and as an adult, have applied it to many of my homes with huge success.
There are so many schools of Feng Shui out there and before you begin your Feng Shui journey i would advise you to look into them all and pick the one that resonates with you the most. The key is to believe that it will work and then you will see the results. Having said that, i have dealt with a few non believing husbands until they see the benefits and changes!
Before i go into the things that i have revealed after years of working in peoples homes, i would love to share with you my methods of Feng Shui and the reasons why i started Modern Feng Shui.
So what is Feng Shui. Well the literal translation is ‘wind’ and ‘water’. It is the flow of energy, or Chi, within your home and also around your home.
After becoming a certified Feng Shui design professional, I knew that there were things that i wanted to change in the Feng Shui world. The history is beautiful and if you can, you should do some googling about ancient China and Feng Shui to really understand its origin. I found along my journey that there is a lot of superstitious, fear mongering Feng Shui out there and these beliefs are holding a lot of people in lack and limiting beliefs.
When i first announced my business, i received, and sometimes still receive, messages from people all over the world telling me there problems and telling how they have been told that there home has bad Feng Shui and that they are simply doomed! This is the side of Feng Shui that i do not agree with and some of the “rules” that have been put in place did not align with my values.
Everything is energy. Energy can be changed at any moment. When you decide to believe something different, adopt a new belief, guess what? Your reality starts to show you evidence of that new belief. So if you believe you have bad luck and bad Feng Shui, then your reality has to show you that as the truth. After all, the universe is not out to trick you, it wants to bring you what you believe is true. This is why i absolutely love to blend manifestation with Feng Shui and create environments that support our new beliefs. That is my version of Feng Shui.
Feng Shui actually starts within, in our minds, our thoughts and what we believe we can and cannot have. Here is the exact four step method that i use to change my clients lives every day:
We get super, crystal clear on what our goals are. Most of my clients turn to Feng Shui because they are trying to achieve something, a list of goals like a better job or more money. Sometimes they come to me when their whole world has fallen apart and i get so excited when that happens because i know that we get to create a whole new set of beliefs and goals together! But we get super clear and we set good, clear intentions. A goal without an intentional is just a wish. We must set an intention before we do the actions.
I will then apply the Bagua map to the home. I love and use the Bagua map because it splits the home into 9 different sections, each related to an area of life. When we tend to every area of life, life improves significantly. If we only put our energy into our career but neglect our relationships, we will become successful but we will be lonely. So it is so important to tend to every area and activate each sector.
After the Bagua map is applied and i have seen pictures of each room, i will then be able to pick out and spot what is happening in each area of your life by the energy it is emitting. It’s always so spot on and is my favorite part of the process! We are a product of our environment!
3. I then create a whole report that is tailor made to my client that is so detailed and refined. From furniture moves, to colors, cures, enhancements, remedies and an action plan, it is all in there. They can then work at there own pace.
4. The follow up. My services are not a one and done. I love to keep the support going. I have found that clients that are left on there own after a Feng Shui consultation lose momentum and fall off there path. They often give up just before their lives change. Many of my clients are now friends of mine. I love to help them even after a year of working together and hearing the amazing things that happen to them, well, that makes it all worth it.
When you work with me there are no superstitions, no bad Feng Shui and no one has a cursed life!
seven feng shui truths:
Placing lucky trinkets and coins around your home won’t bring you good luck. Good Chi flow, a clean home and a strong mindset will. Putting trinkets around your home and relying on them to work without doing the mindset work will leave you feeling frustrated that they are not working causing you to keep believing that your life just isn’t working out.
2. The Feng Shui in your home doesn’t have to obvious. Sometimes all you need is to tweak the energy, make some furniture moves and add some color and the whole energy in your home can change.
3. Removing objects and things that hold negative energy and emotions for you can help you move forward. I had a client that had a volatile relationship with her mother in law. After her mother in law passed away, she placed a picture of her in the front entrance of her home, feeling somehow that would heal her guilt in the way the relationship was. Once we removed the picture my client was able to live her life without feeling like something had a hold on her.
4. Art work and mirrors are more powerful then we think. Did you know that the artwork in your home is sending messages to your subconscious mind all day and even when you sleep. So, if you are single and looking for love, that picture of you alone on vacation in your home is doing you no favors. Instead replace it with art work that shows a pair of something. Send the right signals to your mind.
5. Where your head is positioned when you sleep can help determine how well you sleep and either ease or give you anxiety. This is because of the command position.
6. Too many money cures can actually make you feel lack around money. They give the energy of chasing money and when we are in that chasing energy, what we want often is running further away from us.
7. And finally and probably my favorite truth. Plants, sunlight and fresh air is the simplest, easiest way to change the energy in your home. Feng Shui can be as simple as opening a window after an argument or tense meeting to release the tension and invite in some new energy.
