Do you want to generate more cash flow? Are you raising money for a special purpose? Are you wanting more freedom? Let’s work on prosperity.
Winter’s garden sleeps, but my December garden sat confused wondering where summer had gone
but it was yet not cold, and why there were still cherry tomatoes still ripening beautifully and why the Morning Glory Star of Yelta still blossomed, climbing the Tibetan prayer flags up to my balcony until a week ago. The terrible winds of two storms last week thrashed the bamboo fence. Leaves turned to muck in the fountain. It felt mistreated.

My garden is an extension of the prosperity area of my home, according to the Feng Shui bagua, missing a huge chunk out of it. Without care and attendance, my finances do not ripen. Since being diligent with my garden, I’m finding the funds arrive when I need. Seeing the garden in disarray, Yuji took it upon himself while I worked on my Vision Boarding presentation materials to take care of business. He jumped into the garden, digging, tying, cutting, re-potting, dismantling, reconstructing, pruning, re-hoisting, attending to the garden’s every need. He is a nurturer yet gently scolded me for allowing it to get out of hand.

Cut to less than an hour later.

I got a unexpected email inquiry for a narration for Friday. That’ll be two narrations in one day. Plus, my Feng Shui mentor Mark Ainley is in Tokyo for more consults and trainings, plugging my Vision Boarding in his magazine articles. That same evening, I got a pre-payment for the Artist’s Way in Tokyo workshop beginning January 12. All in […]

Defragment my life beginning in my home.
I do not claim to be a computer person, and I can barely remember that my new MacBook Pro is “Airbrushed Aluminum” nevermind how much memory it has. But here is one term that has stuck with me since first learning about computers, well, way before Mac OSX: Defragment.

What is defragmenting?
defragmentation – the process of moving applications and associated files to adjacent locations on the hard disk drive so that the application opens and runs the files more efficiently and, therefore, much quickly. Defragmentation generally improves the performance of the computer system.

Wouldn’t you love to defragment your mind? Find those scattered files, make space for more information retention, feel more at ease?

How about your home? Find your keys more easily, find that document you were searching for, or that do-whacker which you haven’t used in a while, but could really use right now, if it wasn’t for so much, well…CLUTTER. Those things in the junk drawer, piles of papers on your desk, useless gifts that you don’t have the heart to get rid of, exercise equipment that you might use again someday especially because you spent so much on that it’d be a shame not to use it…Sound familiar?

Collectively, they are overwhelming your senses, giving you the feeling that you just can’t get it done, bringing on that feeling of stuckness, stagnancy, illness and disease, reasons not to start your art/passion/family/relationship/new business.

Before the New Year, let’s DEFRAGMENT our homes.
D. Divide your home into project areas.
Looking at the Feng Shui Bagua map, get interested in where the most clutter is piling in your home. Do you […]

“We are what we think.  All that we are arises with our thoughts.  With our thoughts we make the world.” — Buddha
I teach workshops on Vision Boarding with Feng Shui as part of my Living Visions services.  Most people know that Vision Boarding is a powerful tool for manifestation, as popularized by The Secret and Oprah Winfrey.  Of those, only a small percentage even bother to make a Vision Board themselves.  And even fewer know how to create one with balance.  As well-balanced as we would like to envision our lives, our focus remains on improving only certain areas.  This causes an overall imbalance in our Life:Work:Happiness ratio.  I know this because my vision boards also used to look like high school collages of I-want-this-for-Christmas images.  As a Feng Shui consultant, I have found a great tool for balancing my Life:Work:Happiness ratio as the base of my Vision Boards–the Feng Shui Bagua.  Before you roll your eyes, think about the importance of a MAP.
M.  Mimic thought patterns.
What is interesting is the current research says that the Bagua  may mimic a thought pattern, or even the way information is processed in our brains.  Typhoons move the same direction, as do our energy patterns, and the flow of chi through your home or office.
A.  All areas.
Take a moment to think about what areas in your life you would like to work on.
Would you like to get clarity in:  Self-Cultivation & Knowledge?  Career & Life path?  Helpers & Travel, Creativity & Children, Love & Partnership?  Fame & Reputation? Wealth & Blessings?  Family & Health?  A balanced Center?
