Does YOUR Art Match Your Hopes and Dreams?

4/17/2018

WOW! Last week’s post got a huge response--people checking in about their clutter, getting after their kitchens AND quite a few of you having reactions to the idea about how the images and art pieces you surround yourself with impact your life.

I think it’s FASCINATING to think about how the art that hangs on the walls and adorns our homes can impact our health (and the rest of our lives, too). Are you with me?

Art is SO POWERFUL and so many of us buy it, hang it and “forget” about it. But, the energy of the piece lives on and even if you no longer are actively paying attention to it, it’s energy permeates your home AND your life.

Here’s a great example…

Meghan, a long-time member of our Feng Shui family, sent this message and picture after last week’s blog post:

What??? My Home Can Improve My Health?

4/12/2018

We had the chance to hang out with cutie-granddaughter, Nora this weekend--had fun practicing her selfie skills…

Such a gift to enjoy time with our grandbabies! And it really makes me stop and think how my health (and continued good health) will allow me to spend many fun, active years with them...as I always say, without your health, the center of the Feng Shui Bagua, it will be harder for the rest of your life to shine vibrantly.

We are constantly BOMBARDED with information about health--it’s a national pastime: What to eat, When to eat, How much to eat, When to exercise, How to exercise, How much to exercise...the list goes on and the current “HOT” information changes about every 30 seconds! Everywhere you look--Social Media, Articles, Books, Health Coaches--Health Information (and probably some of it very useful) is everywhere!!!!!

But nobody’s talking about this...

Your home is an extension of your body and if you want to see improvements in your health, you can work on the body for your body--YOUR HOME.

Whatever we do in our living space, will affect what’s going on internally well--Feng Shui is working from the outside IN!

Reminder--Feng Shui is taking a look at the energy that is in everything. Take a look around you, wherever you’re sitting right now...there is life, there is something moving.

Happy Spring!

3/29/2018

It was still cold here in Madison, WI, last weekend so Bob (lovely husband) and I went in search of Spring and landed at the Flower Show at Olbrich Gardens (warm, tropical and GREEN!).

The perfect antidote to cabin fever--plus we saw plants from all over the world which got us thinking about our next vacation...funny how that works :)

It’s Spring--the feeling that EVERYTHING can begin again. It’s time to let go and start fresh--no wonder it feels like time to purge and clean--to make room for tulips, birds, butterflies, bunnies, chicks, fragrant blossoms, romance, birth, renewal and hope!

How about using the energy of the season to catapult you into clearing and cleaning your home? Spring Cleaning, Anyone????

Release Clutter Top to Bottom Let go of all the old, worn-out, broken and “bummer” items that are dragging you down. I know it’s easier said than done, start small, but start somewhere, set a timer--make it a game--and GO!

Rules, Rules, Rules!

3/16/2018

Bob and I ventured out to do some early spring hiking at our favorite little waterfall spot last weekend--Pewit's Nest. It was Muddy, Icy and Chilly but SO GOOD to get outside for some nature vitamins!

We are smack dab in the middle of the Transformational Feng Shui course--WOW! What fun and such amazing souls in the group!

We started the class learning the RULES of Feng Shui--’cuz you have to lay the foundation before you build the house--right?

It’s a funny thing balancing energy work (Feng Shui) with rules :)

I see it like this:

What is Chi?

3/8/2018

How is your week going? I’m in GO! Mode--daughters and babies visited last weekend, the FS class is in full swing (Really Fun!!!!!) and I’ve got clients who are diving right into BIG Feng Shui projects--OMG, really amazing people and fantastic projects!!!!

I realized that we’re always talking about “CHI” here in Feng Shui land...and that you may or may not know what it is and how it works…

What is Chi?

Chi is the mysterious stuff that makes the world go ‘round, (aka: prana, energy, life force, spirit, pizzazz, vitality, power)--it’s in every single thing: in you, and me...in the birds, rocks, air and your morning latte…

Scientists confirm that even the most dense object has life force in it--meaning EVERYTHING is created from these moving molecules. Amazing, huh?????

It is hard to put into words something so vast and unknowable and doing so tends to limit and squash the greatness of it.

Chi is a mystery beyond mysteries--a secret probably impossible for any of us to fully understand.

Is “BAD” Feng Shui COSTING You? $$$

2/22/2018

First I want to welcome all our new members who’ve joined us from my event at the DreamBank last week . . . I’m THRILLED to have you join the Family!

And as you can tell from my latest messages, I’m SO EXCITED about the upcoming Feng Shui class. We’ve already had SEVERAL people signing up already . . . YAY!

This is going to be such an exciting and rich adventure . . . I can’t wait to get started. (You can still join by clicking here: transformationalfengshui.com)

But today I thought it might be fun to cover an unusual aspect of Feng Shui -- because the truth is: Having LOUSY Feng Shui can end up COSTING you . . . big time. (Cha-Ching! $$$$$)

So as a continuation of last week’s “Feng Shui Status” quiz (if you missed it you can find that post HERE.) -- let’s take a deeper look at what you may be (inadvertently) losing, missing out on, or endlessly putting off -- simply because your home has become a DRAG on who you are, and who you want to become.

Let’s start by taking some notes and answering the following questions -- really digging deep into how these things REALLY are impacting your: confidence, stress-levels, dreams, focus, energy, relationships, intimacy, peace of mind, reputation, time-management, health and more.

Because what almost everyone forgets is that the (seemingly) LITTLEST things can ripple out in huge, dramatic ways -- in all areas of our life! -- without even realizing it.

So take a look at the REAL costs around:

Do You Have GOOD Feng Shui? (Take the quiz!)

2/16/2018

So I’ve noticed that just about everybody has BIG QUESTIONS about Feng Shui. And most people have gotten little “bites” from social media, articles, or books that share cutesy little things like…

”Keep the toilet seat down to protect your money!”
“Put ‘lucky bamboo’ on your desk to attract abundance.”
“Hang a crystal in your wealth corner.”
Or “Put 2 pink candles in your relationship corner to attract love.”

I can see why these notions get out into the mainstream . . . They’re easy and kind of fun to play with.
But . . .

The Feng Shui I’ve learned is SO MUCH MORE than that!

It’s powerful, transformational and deeply rooted in ancient Chinese philosophy.

Did you know that even in modern China, Feng Shui is revered ABOVE Chinese Medicine? It’s the #1 adjustment people make before they seek out medical attention--isn’t that amazing?

And, even though the practice of Feng Shui is 6000 years old, it’s still very applicable today and practical, too! That’s what I LOVE about it--it’s relevant to our busy, modern lives.

Whatever it is that you’re wanting for your life--better health, abundance, connection or LOVE, it IS possible to weave these desires right into the design of your home by adjusting the energy to CAUSE what you want to arrive on your doorstep!

Just take a look at some of the common results I see with my private clients:

“My business completely took off, so much so, that I won the car!” - Kate M.

“I feel so light and free--anything is possible--I might make that move to the mountains I’ve always dreamed of...” - Jen R.

“I’ve met a guy...we’ve had several dates, we’re taking it slow, but he’s a solid contender!” - Eva C.

And this is possible for you, too.

In the Western World, we are not tuned in to this amazing tool. Some people would just laugh and say, “How is it possible that the energy of your home can make such a difference in your life?”

Well, in my experience, harnessing the power of our homes can create just about ANYTHING we are truly wanting in our lives.

So this week, let’s start at the ground level, and work our way up -- with my “Top-10 Feng Shui Evaluation Checklist”.

This will help get your aware of your biggest problem spots — and then next week I’ll give you some great tips to start implementing Feng Shui on any of these troublesome areas:

Chinese New Year--Year of the Dog

Chinese New Year--Feb. 16, 2018--Year of the Dog

“According to Chinese Astrology, the financial energy created this year will bring new business opportunities, increased cash flow, and will build good reputations! Our tendencies will be to socialize, to celebrate and to enjoy life more often. Also, 2018 will bring more luck in marriages.

In addition, 2018 will be a little difficult from a health point of view. Actually, in the year of the dog, all zodiac signs will want to pay special attention to their health. Year 2018 is the ideal time to start eating healthy, adding physical activity and getting rid of bad habits.”

What is Your Clutter Costing You?

1/26/2018

Last week was FUN! I had the fabulous opportunity to speak at the American Family National Headquarters for a lunch event--”The Power of Decluttering”. Here we all are--cozying up to the idea that RELEASING clutter can have AMAZING benefits to our Health, Time, Productivity, Money and Relationships! Welcome to all of our new e-community members--we are so happy you’re here!

Your life can change in So Many Ways by letting the chaos go and making a plan to keep it gone!

To recap, because, even if you’ve been with me for 5 years...(OMG-- I cannot believe I have been writing a weekly post for that long--I’ll spare you the math, but it’s #manymanymany blog posts :)

...You may need this reminder to light the fire inside to Get Organized!

The Cost of NOT Taking Action

How do your possessions deplete your precious resources?

Health:
If you have clutter and chaos in your space--you also may be experiencing one of these ailments:

Headaches
Depression
Confusion
Congestion
Constipation
Distraction
Anxiety
Extra Weight
Irritability
Insomnia
Fatigue
STRESS!

STRESS is a big one...the latest statistics say that up to 90% of diseases are stress related!
When we are stressed, our Cortisol levels rise, (the hormone that reacts to stress and when elevated for long periods of time) affects our ability to rest and digest...we are always in that heightened state...we just get used to it, tolerate it, manage it, like a low-grade fever….
