Complaining only manifests...More Complaining Energy flows where attention goes. That is a common saying among Feng Shui consultants.  When your first encounter a situation that involves conflict it's only natural to "complain," for you are trying to understand whats happening.  It's an emotional response. Now, if you keep running into that same situation, lets say with the same person, know you have a choice.  Either you can continue to complain about him or her or you can take action in acknowledging the nature of that situation and facing it. As you digest the nature of that person's behavior and your own, it will become clearer with what needs to be done in order to help diffuse emotional tensions. Once that situation becomes more at ease, try not to feed your Ego by constantly thin... 05/12/2014

How can your 5 closest friends share insight into the person you are? How are they doing this right now? I was listening to the Steve Harvey's show the other day and he spoke about taking a step back and reflecting on your five closest friends for how they can help shine insight into your own positive characteristics and traits you may need to enhance consciously and sub-consciously. Basically, like attracts like. He put it this way, If you choose to hang around friends who for example who demonstrate behavior of "laziness," uninterested in being the best person they can be, such as aspiring to the next level, perhaps they have closed mindsets. chances are, your energy can be influenced and start to take on those traits.  I believe at one time in all of our lives we have experienced thi... 04/28/2014

How Can I Bless the energy of my home without using White Sage? Sometimes I will work with clients who are allergic to White sage and other incense or oils that give of a strong smell.  Working with that individual's tolerances for certain elements a really easy and simply way to cleans energy could be with sound vibrations or using the purification powers of fire. Sound can come from anything that allows that sensation, let it be chimes, singing bowls, drums, the sound of your own voice, musics (soft jazz)-non lyrical or lyrical..just make sure the words are positive. With bells, simply walk around to all your rooms allowing the vibration of those bells to penetrate into all the energy fields of each room, thus positively stimulating movement. When implementing fire purification, first... 04/28/2014

What is a really simple Feng Shui tip everyone can do right now? It's as easy as opening a window to allow a natural breeze to flow in from time to time. That is the easy Feng Shui Tip everyone can do right now, is walk over to a window and simply open or crack it open just a bit to allow air flow (representing energy flow) to literally move through your home.  If you are feeling a bit sluggish or the space feels stuffy or stagnant, try implementing this very easy remedy. Feng Shui calls this, "allowing the outside in." If you have allergies or perhaps opening the window is just not an option, having a fan or some sort of air purifier could be another option to help create air flow. 04/28/2014

Can Feng Shui Help Enhance Cancer Treatment? What a powerful question and thought. When we become stressed our immune system begins to break down, maybe not right away but weak points will begin to develop, thus allowing our bodies to become prone to developing illnesses. It's basically a mis firing of communication among healthy cells.  When you speak with those who successfully over came cancer or other illnesses, time and time again you will hear them speak about a complete overhaul of their life style that includes the internal and external alchemy of life. So what about Feng Shui and Cancer treatments? From my experience working with clients who have dealt with various types of chronic illnesses and cancers, I have seen extremely positive results.  Feng Shui is a great tool to help... 04/27/2014

"The Blood Moon" Lunar Eclipse on April 15th 2014 thetruthwins.com The most unique thing about the 2014-2015 tetrad is that all of them are visible for all or parts of the USA,” said longtime NASA eclipse expert Fred Espenak in a post on the agency’s website. Usually, about two lunar eclipses happen per year, but not all of them are total. Some are barely visible while others are partial eclipses. The eclipse on April 15 will begin at 2 a.m. EDT when the edge of the Moon first enters the amber core of Earth’s shadow. Totality occurs during a 78 minute interval beginning around 3 a.m. in the morning on the east coast (midnight on the west coast).  Weather permitting, the red Moon will be easy to see across the entirety of North America. -theepochtimes.com What is really interesting with ... 04/13/2014

Explore New York City's Central Park-The Great Lawn This photo does not capture the amount of people who were really at the park... It was a perfect Sunday yesterday to get out and enjoy the company of all, meet and greet new folks and simply enjoy the weather that I believe touched around 70 degrees...awesome. New Yorkers become so calm and happy when Spring comes about, finally after such a cold Winter man will retreat back to common meeting grounds in Central park, The Great Lawn being the biggest of them all.  Families, couples and friends come to this mid point in central part between 85th-79th street and simply layout, have a picnic or watch softball games as to name a few activities while soaking up the sun and great positive energy. To get there I suggest you take the D or C tra... 04/13/2014

How can you tell when support from the metaphysical realm visits? After my Feng Shui consultation this past weekend on Long Island NY I decided to "chill-out" by visiting a local preserve, getting Linner (lunch-dinner) and watching the sunset. Once I felt relaxed I explored a little and started snapping photos randomly. occasionally reviewing them yet it was one when I returned home to up-load the images I noticed this interesting sight. Do you see it? This is a close-up, I saw an Orb hovering about. This is the fist time a green Orb was made present in a photo I snapped so to me it was pretty exciting. Another instance was then I visited Sedona Arizona back in 2012 and was learning about calling in your spirit guides and Guardian Angels. The evening before I snapped this photo, that wa... 04/06/2014

Can Feng Shui deprive opportunities of Home Sales? This is a very powerful and great question to review.  At first glance one could say yes, a potential buyer walks away because from their perspective a home has "bad" Feng Shui due to location, maybe objects or what ever else they may visually scan. On the flip side one could say No, because you have another potential buyer step in, still following the principles of Feng Shui and approach it with, what can we do to enhance this space to make it better since certain structural aspects of the home can not be changed. What I'm getting at is, it becomes that Individual's own personal preference in what method of Feng Shui they choose to embrace during the buying and implementation process.                                   Compass Method   ... 04/04/2014

"Any Moment can be Something" Garry Winogrand Photo 1928-1984 When visiting Washington DC I stopped off at the National Gallery of Art and saw a fascinating Photography exhibit by Garry Winogrand. His subject matter was all about capturing events and people in the moment. Many would say his particular focus being on women. As he progressed with his craft he began to purposely crop out key note information so the what, who, where, when and why was completely distorted leaving more questions then answers. Many of his photos took place in Coney Island Brooklyn, New York City, Queens and the Bronx.  A quote that really captured my attention and I wish to share with you all is this. " No one moment is most important, Any Moment can be Something"-Winogrand 04/01/2014

Interesting Connections with Native American and Feng Shui practices one of the key principles in Feng Shui is that when you incorporate this practice into your life style, the truth will always come to the surface...for that is one of the strongest (yet at times hardest) ways to be on path to achieving enlightenment. For me, I find it interesting that the Native Americans use the turtle as the symbol of truth and in Feng Shui the turtle shell was the Sacred Geometry design for the modern day Ba-gua map.

Which Bed-frame is better according to Feng Shui?-metal or wood?  A metal-frame bed can surround your body with a distorting magnetic field while you sleep.  The element of metal is a conductor, so by having an abundance of electronics surrounding you when sleeping, blended with a metal bed-frame creates easier transmission from those appliances to you. Wood-frames deflect magnetic energy.  They also represent the energy of support when sleeping while also associating with career. A rested body, mind and spirit equals stronger productivity during the day, easier manifesting of new ideas and energy to follow through.   03/26/2014

   I encourage those interested in Feng Shui or if you have a "Feng Shui Challenge" to pick my brain. It is a great opportunity for both to learn and grow and for me to gain a stronger understanding about the thought pattern that is currently cultivating with the discussion of Feng Shui. Is it about Feng Shui for the home? Studio apartment question regarding Feng Shui? Perhaps you have questions about the area of partnership, wealth, furniture placement, colors or maybe even Feng shui and "paranormal activity."  The best way to learn is by asking. I am all ears and will embrace your questions to help others learn as well. 03/26/2014

My Bike is taking up precious Apartment space-Any Feng Shui Tips? "I had my bike hanging from the only available wall space, which happened to be in front of my entrance door (it's an apt, so this is the only entrance).  The door opened about 2/3 of the way, and I had an intuition that this could not be helpful. I removed the bike from that area and it is now in my hallway against a wall. I have not found anywhere to mount it.  I have scanned my brain for solutions, including getting rid of anything that would provide the space for my bike, nothing yet.  My question is, is it serving me to have the bike in the hall (temporarily) even though I have read that blocking passageways blocks energy, more than keeping it mounted in front of my entrance door, causing my front door to not open fu... 03/23/2014

The energy line is Thin and Transparency is Easy to See We live in a day and age where our body, mind and spirit is much more in-tune with energy, both positive and negative. This is why it's even more important to do your best in creating a home/work environment that is supportive of your goals and nurturing of your authentic self.  From time to time take an inventory and be mindful with who you allow to surround and influence your personal energy. If they are not of the best connection, we commonly refer to them as "energy vampires." How do you know if someone of that nature is around you? You personally will become drained, maybe confused, and the worse case scenario..depressed because that connection was allowed to continue for a period of time. Are you taking care of yourself? Mean... 03/20/2014
