BUSINESS TRAVEL

3/29/2011

Many companies are located not only near the area you reside, but around the country and in other countries.

Business travel is a very important part of business. Therefore, wouldn’t it make sense to learn how to improve your bottom line, just from traveling?

Check a map to determine which direction you are traveling from and which direction you are traveling to.

Determine your Kua number. Take note as to which are your best directions and which are your worst directions. East Group Kua numbers are 1, 3, 4 and 9, and West Group Kua numbers are 2, 6, 7 and 8.

Feng Shui travel directions are not always practical, though. For example, if you are in Chicago and want to go to Arizona and you are an East Group person, it won’t be a problem, as your most auspicious direction to leave from is the East. But if you are a West Group person, you would have to fly to New York and then to Arizona. Instead, it would be more beneficial to use your best directions at meetings and other business functions.

Also, consider how you travel to work every day. If you are traveling from one of your best directions, it would be more beneficial. If not, consider testing out a new route to work that would include one of your best directions. You may be going out of your way, but in the long run, when your business improves, it’s worth the extra time.

Many people get this theory wrong and don’t get the results they are looking for. Just remember that it’s the direction you are traveling from that is important, not the direction you are traveling to. If that’s not possible, use your best directions to assist you.

Did you ever wonder why life was so good in one house and when you moved things began to reverse and everything that could go wrong did go wrong?

3/24/2011

Or maybe life was very difficult and you moved and suddenly life was so different. Everything was going great?

That’s because the Feng Shui of one house can be good for you and another could cause an unacceptable outcome.

So what do we do?

The first thing we need to do is determine our own personal direction. What this mean is that every one of us has four good directions to face and four bad directions.

By learning your personal directions you can choose the house that will benefit you more than another.

What you’ll need is your Birthdate…month, day and year. You can download a Kua Calculator to determine your Kua number. There is one in:http://astroccult-feng-shui-kua-fortune-teller.astroccult-net.qarchive.org/. There are other Kua calculators that you can find via a seach in the web. I am preparing an article to include in the website about Kua Calculator,

That number will establish if you are an East person or a West person.

Then you will have a head start on which direction to look for, depending on one of your best directions.

How do you know which house will be the best house for me to buy?

3/22/2011

That is one of the questions that I am asked so often. First of all, we need to take into consideration that houses are like fingerprints…no two house are the same, even if they look alike.

Depending of the compass direction of a home, and the location of that home in the community, each home will have a different blueprint and deliver different outcomes.

If you aren’t familiar with Feng Shui, it’s best to ask a professional Feng Shui Consultant for their expert advice BEFORE you purchase the home.

Did you know what goes on around you can affect the occupants of the home? Your surroundings outside the home can be more important than the inside in many cases.

Some simple guidelines would be not to buy a home across from a school, religious facility or of course a cemetery. The negative energy from the different activities taking place in these facilities will surely affect the lives of the people that live around them.

Don’t buy a property that is at the end of a “T” street or at the end of a cul-de-sac. The energy flowing towards the home will fly so fast towards your front door, you won’t know what hit you until it’s too late. It can cause serious financial loss.

Do you DREAD the process of Spring Cleaning?

3/21/2011

I know how often I think of what I need to start doing, like cleaning out my bedroom closet, and can easily be distracted by something that sounds really exciting just to get me away from the thought of all that work.
Then I quickly refocus and use the Feng Shui Steps I’ve learned to enjoy this process. It really can be fun…Remember life is what we make of it.

1. Our weather couldn’t me more perfect now, so open the windows and doors and bring in the effervescent of the fresh air into this space.
2. Surround yourself with colors of red, orange and bright yellows to help energize you. We all know how these colors make a room “pop”.
3. Play music that is inspiring to your taste to keep you feeling positive about what you are doing.
4. Dress comfortably with light airy clothing.
5. Start small. Take a section of the closet and start there, then move along section by section.
6. When you finish a section, take a step back and look at what you have accomplished. This is a great booster for you mind. Treat yourself to a cup of coffee or tea.
7. Give things away. Start off with 9 things at a time from each small section. The number 9 is a very lucky number in Feng Shui. Like they say, if you haven’t worn them in the past year (or I’ll give you two) get rid of it. Odds are you won’t ever use it.
8. Once you fill up a bag take it to another location out of the closet, where you will either have someone pick them up for donation or put them right in your car for your planned drop off.
9. Don’t forget keeping this area fresh and clean will bring new good energy into this space. In my home, my closet is located in the north sector which is for careers. That is a definite location none of us want to keep cluttered or there might not be any new business that this good energy will be bringing to us.

By following these few simple Feng Shui steps you will be creating the excitement in the energy process, that is so often avoided, to create a more peaceful and happy home.

Is Rain good Feng Shui?

3/15/2011

Sure it is! It’s water and water is wealth and what helps our careers.

We are at the beginning of Spring when we plant the seeds, water them often to help them grow and see the beautiful results in summer of colorful “Blossoms”.

It’s the same with our businesses. Start planting the seeds now in Spring that will help develop your business in the summer.

The seasons affect our thoughts and what we do in our lives. By this time, we’ve had enough of winter and looking forward to the warm sunshine.

Being diligent with our efforts to grow our business as well as our relationships will bring you many rewards in the future.

We need the foundation before we put up the building, so let it rain, rain, rain!

Did you know that pets are a great energy booster?

3/10/2011

What a great way to bring good energy into our homes than with a pet.

Pets are great Feng Shui. The playful energy that they bestow will stir up that stagnant energy that can start pulling us down.

Negative energy has many harmful disadvantages in our lives. Not only can it impair our relationships, but it can reduce our income, cause health issues, mishaps, accidents and more.

We recently got a new puppy in our home and the thought of a new puppy was not all that exciting to me, because I knew all the work that comes along with it. Seeing those loveable eyes so eager to please tugged on my heart instantly.

Some people have many different kinds of animals. The movement of animals in a space brings good Chi (energy) that will bring positive changes to our lives.

I’m always up for new change that brings new opportunities to me and my family. How about you?

Have you made Spring Break plans for your family?

3/9/2011

For some families hotels, cruises or trips to visit grandparents
are already in the works. But for those that aren’t planning on an out of town experience, how about planning your experience right here at
home?
We sometimes believe that our children are too busy for us or we
are just too busy for them, but there’s no better time than the present to bring the family back together.

What’s happening in the East sector of your home? Do you have photo’s of your family in this area? Is this area a storage room, or maybe the garage? Even if you don’t have the ability to make use of this sector in your home, there’s no need to fret. Find the East sector of your family room or favorite living space in your home that the family congregates and place those photo’s along with beautiful healthy plants. Bamboo plants in a vase of water will enhance the family sector. Remember that the productive cycle of the elements demonstrates that water produces wood, therefore will help encourage good relationships with your family.

Now plan that BBQ or picnic and add some great family games and let the party begin.

A home office can offer challenges,

3/8/2011

but with a few of my tips, you can have a more creative and exciting home office.

Some Feng Shui principles include the following:

Find a location that is farthest from your bedroom.
Many people keep their home office in their bedroom, which will keep you on that treadmill while sleeping or resting. If at all possible create an office furthest from your bedroom.

It will be the most beneficial to your business if you are fortunate to have an office with its’ own entrance.

Clean fresh air will stimulate your thinking.
Open the windows as often as possible to allow fresh air to enter.

Working without other people around us can be challenging.
Many of us that have a home office confront situations that can cause us to not be as productive as we would like. We might not have the proper stimulation that you would find in an office with other people for interaction. Turn on music or a sound machine to disrupt the silence.

Your home office may not be bright enough.
Make sure your office is light and cheerful. Full spectrum lighting is the next best thing to sunlight.

Keep the energy fresh and clean.
We need to keep our mind inspired and one of the best methods is to incorporate live plants in our décor.

It matters where you place your desk.
Your desk should not be placed in front of a window. Facing the window or having the window at your your back does not allow strong energies for your best productivity. Also do not line up your desk with the door. The feng shui commanding position is the furthest corner from the door.

Inspire yourself with Artwork.
Add inspiring artwork that can fire up those juices and get you motivated. And don’t forget to hang your awards, diplomas and any other significant certificates that remind you of your success.

Keep your clutter to a minimum.
Set a special time to organize your desk and office and keep it up on a regular basis. Remember keeping your space clutter free will allow new opportunities in your business along with better health.

Did you know that you need to know what you want in life?

3/4/2011

Did you know you need to know what you want in life to make good use of Feng Shui?

Most Feng Shui books and people skip over this practical viewpoint of Feng Shui.

Success is derived from a combination of your actions, belief and behavior, along with your destiny and then your Feng Shui.

Your own efforts of your perseverance, patience, persistence, hard work and determination will assist in the outcome of your Feng Shui.

How charitable are you? I don’t just mean with your money. How about yourself? Do you do things for others that nobody else finds out about?

All these characteristics of you, affect the outcome of your success.

Feng Shui will help tie up all those loose ends and bring meaning to what your dreams can become.

Do you laugh enough?

3/1/2011

We’ve all heard that it takes more muscles to frown and less to smile, but do we really take the time in our life to laugh?

One of the best ways to raise the energy in your life is with laughter.

Spend time with people that make you smile. Visit places that make you feel happy.

Our attitudes affect many aspects of our lives.

I have a Comedy Club in my town that brings in many local and famous comics. I try to make it a point to go to a show when I might not be feeling my best and sure enough, laughter becomes intoxicating, and I feel so great.

Let’s not take ourselves too seriously. Lighten up and remember to smell the blossoms.
