Feng Shui and Fabulous for Abundant Living Tip # 2


Remember, as we said last week, what we see is what we become, this week Tip # 2 talks about how our “stuff” can make us “feel”

  1. 1.      Love It or Lose It: If an item no longer serves a valuable purpose, let it go. When we hang on to things we do not love, we carry the energy of that item. This “stuff” saps up our valuable energy that we need to create and pursue new opportunities and distracts us from enjoying and embracing our glorious moments.

This also relates to what is going on in our cars, look at what you are driving around with .Our cars represent our ability to move forward. You wouldn’t want to feel like you are dragging this around or would you?

Feng Shui and Fabulous for Abundant Living Tip #1

It’s a bright new year, rather than make resolutions, why not open our awareness. In our fast past lives today, we are barely conscious of what is happening. Feng Shui principles help us create an environment for fabulous and abundant living. When we have a positive supportive environment, everything is possible!

Here is your first tip –

Create Fabulous Firsts: What we see is what we become whether we are conscious of it or not ~ We must Notice how we feel, all our “Firsts” should be “Fabulous.” Now, think about how it feels when coming into our homes, sitting at our desk, in our favorite chair, and waking up in the morning. The first thing we see sets the tone.

Have you noticed how you feel?
What is your experience?
I would love to hear from you.

It’s A Feeling Floating Day

I am floating ~ After the excitement of all the holiday celebrations, I am floating through this “watery wintery day” mesmerized by the snowflakes falling outside my window. I embrace this beautiful energy of winter, gliding through my day, enjoying just being, smiling and dreaming.

If you too are feeling dreamy, and find your motions today are more “Isadora Duncan ~ Flowing Lyrical Modern Dancer ~” rather than Charo! -Firey Hot & Spicy Cha Cha Cha!, allow yourself to be nourished by this lovely energy of water,  enjoy your daydreams, feel them, swirl them, feel the flow~

12.12.12 “You’ve Got A Friend”

Music makes my heart sing ~ how about you? What makes your heart sing? As most of you may be familiar with by now, sometimes I get a song in my mind.. that leads me to a theme for my weekly words, or maybe it is a thought or phrase that conjures up a song in my mind… I begin to sing a sentence or two.. usually something silly, and it brings me inspiration. My heart begins to sing.
Music can take us to places, experiences, moments we have felt before.. it can be so real, as if we are there right now. I can sometimes smell it, sense it, feel as though I am transported back in time. The coolest experiences are the ones that go way back!
Well there is something about James Taylor, Sweet Baby James… ahhh Junior High – Andries Hudde in Brooklyn, my friends and I would sing all the time, in the halls at school, at lunchtime we would find a place to sit and sing (on benches in the backyard of a nearby apartment building) – or just sing walking through the streets. These past few days, as thoughts and conversations have taken place, I realize how blessed I am to have such beautiful friends in my life. Friends I see all the time, Friends I speak to on occasion, and Friends who are but a sweet memory. Each and every one is someone special in my heart, and I know, if I ever needed one of them, they would be there, and I hope they feel the same for me. One of the most difficult things I have found in my life, a pattern that I created long ago, is to ask for help. I have been learning to change that pattern over the last 10 years. It is not always something I am comfortable with, receiving, but oh does it feel good knowing, I can reach out and I’ve got a friend. I want ALL my friends, new, old and yet to be, to know, that you have got a friend in me. Sometimes just knowing adds a sense of comfort and security, then all we need to do is just be.
12.12.12 is going to be a powerful day… let’s support each other at 12 noon with our positive energy, compassion and love… There is still time to join the tele-meditation – but whether you can join the meditation or not, take a moment to breathe and connect.. It Will Make A Difference!
You’ve Got A Friend ~

Pay It Forward, Reach Out and Touch Somebody’s Heart

I will never forget one of my lessons learned in my Feng Shui Certification course.. We were learning about the life areas connected to the “Bagua” the Map of Our Space.. The very popular area known as “Wealth, Prosperity” was then presented as “Fortunate Blessings” . I was familiar with the notion of placing objects in that area to create wealth, you see before I began my certification course, I bought every book I could find about Feng Shui, my favorites were the colorful books with lots of photos and all kinds of promises to pace things in special areas to generate “happenings”. But books can’t speak to you … and I really resonated with this different perspective of connecting to an experience, Fortunate Blessings..

Give without expectation, Give which you find most precious and you will receive your rewards in abundance.. This says it all…  

So today is about giving – paying it forward. The song which came into my mind –
“Reach Out & Touch Somebody’s Hand” “Make this a better place, Yes! you can”

Smile when you catch someone’s eyes, hold the door, pay for the person behind you in line’s coffee.. be gentle in your thoughts and spirits, reach out and touch someone’s heart today..

The Process of Change – I’m Feeling Nothing??

When we are going through a process of change, it is very typical that we can have expectations of what this process of change will feel like. We can get so focused on the expectation; we can become immune to what is actually happening. Have you ever felt like you were holding your breath, waiting for something to happen…well, you were! Sometimes, I find myself, holding my breath- did I think it will help my concentration…connect me to what I was doing? ha ha ha… quite the opposite.. Everything just stopped, my shoulders were up in my ears, my body became tense.. So what to do – Take a Breath ~ Ahh… just breathe…feel your body relax, connect to what you ARE feeling, if you think it is nothing, well that is just a label. If we notice without expectation, we find we ARE feeling something!

When I first had this conversation with myself, the song “Nothing” from “A Chorus Line” came into my head ~ the message for me is, we all feel things differently ~we are all different in our own unique way, perfect for who we are~ a reminder not to compare ourselves to others ~ Enjoy Being!

Harvest Prayer – Meaningful Today & Always

Harvest Prayer ~ Anonymous 17th Century Sermon

Please be GENTLE with yourself & others

We are all children of chance

And none can say why some fields blossom

While others lay brown beneath the harvest sun

Take HOPE that your season will come

Share the JOY of those whose season is at hand

CARE for those around you

Look past your differences

Their dreams are no less than yours

Their choices in life no more easily made

And GIVE

Give in any way you can

Give in every way you can

Give whatever you possess

Give from your heart

To give is to LOVE

To withhold is to whither

Care less for the size of your harvest

Than for how it is shared

And your life will have meaning

And your heart will have PEACE

Giving Thanks, Feeling Gratitude

A time for Giving Thanks,
Feeling Gratitude.
Helping our neighbors near and far.

Give without expectation,
Receive with Grace
Be Compassionate in Your Thoughts and Actions.

We all make a difference in this world,
What we think, what we feel, our vibrations

Are deposited into the collective,
Building on thoughts, feelings, vibrations that are there
Deposit a feeling of compassion.

Wishing You & Yours An Abundant Thanksgiving Day,
With Love, Gratitude & A Compassionate Heart,
I Believe in the You

Refine Yourself, Define Yourself

How is every feeling, I have noticed an upheaval of sorts, I can feel the churning of energy in the air. We are feeling beings, what is deposited into the collective is what we feel. Amidst all the grief and heartache happening in this world, if we have felt this feeling before, our bodies are triggered to feel it again. Now is the time to mindfully choose how we want to feel, become grounded and fill our hearts with love and compassion. These are the feelings we want to deposit into the collective, supporting each other, however the support it is needed.

Now, another new moon arrived on November 13,2012 ~ another opportunity for a new beginning. Last night we had not only a new moon, but this new moon was combined with a solar eclipse. Reading my colleague Pam Case’s newsletter, I learned that is an opportunity for amazing things to happen. Jan Spiller astrologer writes about how the combination of the eclipse and new moon along with Mercury in retrograde (until 11/26) will stimulate our desire to accept change and transformation in our life, even though we may be having a tough time letting go..

The song I have been listening to in my head since last week is “Unwritten” the phrases I keep singing are “Feel the Rain On Your Skin, No One Else Can Feel It For You”

“Live Your Life With Eyes Wide Open” How profound…  

Now is the time to Connect to Mother Nature’s Metal Energy of Autumn, Refine Yourself, Define Yourself
