How can the ancient art of Feng Shui be helpful to Real Estate Agents? With the diversity of the market, you will want to know what your clients may be looking for in their new homes and addressing these issues ahead of time will put you ahead of the competition.

A basic knowledge of Feng Shui is important for all real estate agents. Feng Shui is a widely held belief of many cultures where potential homeowners will look to see if a home will ?support? them in all the areas of their lives. For example, the front door is very important as many consider this area the ?Mouth of Chi,? a place where all good energy enters. Checking to see that the pathway leading up to the front door is clean and unbroken as well as having an immaculate front door will help a sale right from the beginning. In Black Sect Feng Shui, all doors are considered the ?voices? of the occupants. They should all be able to open freely without squeaking or knocking into each other.

What other things will your clientele be likely to be looking into? They are very aware of what we call ?missing pieces:? When a home is not in a square shape, depending on where the area is, they will determine this is a missing piece and will affect a certain area of their life depending on where it is missing. For real estate agents, having a simple understanding of The Bagua can help you to understand why they believe this. Feng Shui consultants who are trained in Western method as well as some of the other forms can make all corrections simply and inexpensively; they never believe a home won?t support the new occupants.

New homeowners are also looking at the new home in relation to the street or outside energies that are surrounding it. They are unfavorable to homes in Courts (where energy can sometimes pool) or T-Junctions where streets will cross-sect into their homes. Again, using Western methods these are relatively simple issues to address.

The number ?Four? on a home is probably the least likely of all of the other areas that will deter a potential buyer. For many, the number ?Four? sounds like ?death? much as like the number 13 is considered here to be unlucky. This is a difficult area to address though some have suggested painting the house numbers in a circle to ?contain? this energy.

They may well want to know a history of the home and something about the previous owners, so you may want to prepare for that was well. It is important for them to dispel the ?predecessor? energy of those that have lived there before.

These are just a few of the ideas you can arm yourself with when selling a home in today?s market. It might be wise to enlist the aid of a Feng Shui consultant who is familiar with various methods of Feng Shui including Western methods to dispel their fears and help you, as their real estate agent, sell the homes, knowing that someone who practices from a positive perspective will not deter the sale of a home.

Top 5 Feng Shui Tips for Your Office

“ Discover The Secrets That Billionaire Chinese Business Tycoons Know (That You Don't) About Attracting Money, Fortune, Success and Much More Using Simple, Ancient Feng Shui Techniques...! ”

I can show you step-by-step how you too can have more wealth, luck, happiness, career success, health, love, and much more to completely transform your life! . . . with the help of some quick, easy-to-do feng shui techniques!

Feng Shui is the ancient art of improving every aspect of your life by enhancing your environment according to the principles of harmony and energy flow.

Its purpose is to remove blockages to the free flow of energy and allow prosperity and well-being to enter your life.

These tips can help you build an environment of success in your workplace.

1. PLACE YOUR COMPUTER AND DESK IN THE POWER POSITION

The ideal placement for the computer monitor is on the desk in front of you in a position that still allows you to see the door of your office. If you cannot see the door when facing your computer, your nervous system will be on alert for surprise visits. If you cannot move your computer, you can restore good Feng Shui by arranging a mirror that gives you a clear view of the door. A small convex mirror designed for use on car side mirrors can be purchased and stuck on the side of your computer. Cost, about $3.00

2. MAKE SURE EVERYTHING AT YOUR DESK ALLOWS YOU TO BE COMFORTABLE

A good combination glare screen/radiation filter to prevent headaches and eyestrain, a comfortable chair that doesn't squeak, comfortable keyboard and arm position, a mouse that fits your hand etc. Anything that causes you discomfort will drain your energy.

3. CLEAR THE CLUTTER IN YOUR OFFICE

Clutter is anything unfinished, unused, unresolved, tolerated or disorganized. When we clear our clutter we get into our power and create a space for new things to come into our lives. You will have more energy and creativity to design your life to reflect your authentic self.

Clutter is like emotional constipation - it bogs us down. Filing cabinets need to be regularly purged and desktops kept clutter free.

If in doubt, ask yourself, Do I love it, do I use it, and does it raise my energy?

4. KEEP YOUR COMPUTER CLUTTER FREE

How is your Inbox? Create Folders to file emails you want to refer to. If you see hundreds of emails when you open your Inbox, you will feel overwhelmed. Of course, it is important to regularly go through all your folders to delete emails no longer needed. Once a week check your Deleted Items folder and empty it.

Is your Desktop full of shortcuts to programs from a past life? Do you have programs on your computer you never use? Computers are great clutter collectors, and like us, they work better if we keep them decluttered.

5. ENHANCE YOUR PROSPERITY CORNER

As you enter the door of your office, the far left hand corner is your Wealth and Prosperity corner. What do you have there? Clutter in this area will definitely be affecting your prosperity.

This would be a good place for a small tabletop fountain, a valuable item or even an affirmation of what you want to attract. Blues, purples and reds are the colors for this area. Can you include one of these colors in something that makes you feel prosperous?

Make these enhancements to your office and have your environment support your prosperity, energy and creativity.

Gua's Attribute in Feng Shui

“ Discover The Secrets That Billionaire Chinese Business Tycoons Know (That You Don't) About Attracting Money, Fortune, Success and Much More Using Simple, Ancient Feng Shui Techniques...! ”

I can show you step-by-step how you too can have more wealth, luck, happiness, career success, health, love, and much more to completely transform your life! . . . with the help of some quick, easy-to-do feng shui techniques!

In Feng Shui applications, individual gua's attribute is often overlooked and some of us might not know what is the attributes of the guas as these are often the basic knowledge of metaphysics. By understanding this, one's knowledge in the application of Feng Shui can be raised to a new level.

Gua (Location): Attributes

Qian (NortWest): Strong / Firm / Progress

Dui (West): Happy / Talk

Li (South): Beautiful

Zhen (East): Move / Vibration

Xun (SouthEast): Enter / Go Into / Move

Kan (North): Sink / Downwards

Gen (NorthEast): Stop

Kun (SouthWest): Smooth / Tame / Hide

The table above only lists some of the more commonly known attributes of the guas.

How do we apply these attributes in our Feng Shui applications? For example, in a retail shop placing items or products in the NorthEast and SouthWest sector of the shop will not be ideal as they have a common attribute which is "Stop" or "Stagnant". Hence, the products place that these locations will often sell at a slower speed than the others. Products in the East and SouthEast will often sell faster since the sectors have the common attrinute of "Move". In the event there is a promotion to be held in the shop, the promotion products will be ideally placed in these 2 sectors of the shop to achieve the better sales.

When one understands these attributes in relation to the guas, one can apply this knowledge into any parts of our daily lives, not just the business area. Through correct application, the resulting effect is often surprisingly beneficial.

Enhancing Your Career With Feng Shui - Finding A Job You Will LOVE

“ Discover The Secrets That Billionaire Chinese Business Tycoons Know (That You Don't) About Attracting Money, Fortune, Success and Much More Using Simple, Ancient Feng Shui Techniques...! ”

I can show you step-by-step how you too can have more wealth, luck, happiness, career success, health, love, and much more to completely transform your life! . . . with the help of some quick, easy-to-do feng shui techniques!

If you're seeking a new career or would simply like to move up in the one you have, did you know there are simple, inexpensive things you can do to attract it right into your life? According to the Principles of Feng Shui, we work primarily with Intention, Energy and The Laws of Attraction. Knowing this is important as there is a misconception that Feng Shui changes or adjustments need to be costly. Then don't.

A simple method of moving up in your career or changing one altogether is this:

From the inside, the Front Door represents our career area according to the Bagua. One simple thing you can do is place a business card over your front door that states where you are now or what your present title is. If you don't have a business card, simply make one out of construction paper that clearly states your name, the business you currently work for and your title.

Now think about what you'd aspire to do; the sky is the limit so dream on! There may be more then one thing you'd like to do or maybe you can't decide. If you'd like to stay in the same place but move up in position, carefully write out another business card with your name and your new title. Infuse it with your energy as you write. This will go over the first card you have created as this is what you aspire to.

Let's say you'd like to change careers completely. Is there a company or certain place you'd like to work or perhaps be your own boss in a business you've always dreamed of? Then this is what you would write on the second card instead. Make sure it has your name and the name of your new company. And remember to put your energy into everything you do.

Feel free to make as many cards as you like, we don't put restrictions on anything to do with Feng Shui. And think about this for your significant other if they are living with you. It has been shown that when you love what you do, failure is almost unheard of. Did you ever wonder why that is? Have you seen the incredible amounts of energy in certain people when they are speaking of something they are passionate about, be it a partner or their job?

When you truly love what you do, you become engrossed with it; it gives you the energy to create more. It gives you ideas, aspirations to achieve even more and success starts to flow. You've probably seen this with every very prominent person you can think of. And it can happen for you as well.

Finally, career incorporates the color black. Take another piece of construction paper and make a frame around your cards. Tape them inside the front door, on the top over the molding. You will see them every morning before stepping out the door to start your new day and won't forget what you are aspiring to achieve. And allow the thoughts and ideas to come on how to create that. Don't forget to act on those thoughts as you get them to bring back exactly what you are seeking to attain.

When the real business cards have come in due to your promotion or the start of your new business, replace the ones you have made. And know that YOU made it happen!

Limiting Beliefs: Allow Feng Shui and Alternative Treatments to Help You Heal

“ Discover The Secrets That Billionaire Chinese Business Tycoons Know (That You Don't) About Attracting Money, Fortune, Success and Much More Using Simple, Ancient Feng Shui Techniques...! ”

I can show you step-by-step how you too can have more wealth, luck, happiness, career success, health, love, and much more to completely transform your life! . . . with the help of some quick, easy-to-do feng shui techniques!

As Feng Shui Consultants, we are told to reach for the sky. To put our Intentions out for what we want to attract back to us. We are taught the Laws of Attraction, The Power of Intention, Getting our Name out to the Universe. These are new thoughts and belief systems for some, but it's gaining ground. More people then ever before are starting to believe and becoming more spiritual and are finding it impossible to deny there really IS something to all of this "positive thinking."

Years ago I worked in a wonderful, completely Wholistic Center. Many of the people that came there for "treatments" were there because their doctors had turned them away; they were the hopeless cases. Cancer, MS, advanced heart dis-ease flocked to the center looking for another way to heal. And there, they found it. It is amazing to me still that watching these people come in, so saddened and downtrodden by what they had been told but they held out their beliefs that there was hope and help for them.

It has long been said that you have to give up your life force before you can pass; many of these people, though beaten down, were simply not ready to "cash it in." And surrounded by love and non invasive, pure energy treatments such as Acupuncture, Amma Therapy, herbs, a change in diet and everything natural created miracles. I saw people heal, come in with better attitudes, begin to smile again and finally to laugh at times. I saw the fear go away and these people start to heal.

In retrospect, while I am an absolute believer in all forms of Energy Healing and recommend it to my clients (with their doctor's permission, of course), I believe it was also the love showered on these people by their practitioners. They instilled hope, belief, light and a new way to look at things. They gave them the tools to help them create their own healings by their own Intentions, attitudes and pure energy they transmitted to their patients. Double the energy is energy intensified.

The patients were stopped from having the "limiting belief" ideas that had been instilled in them as they went from doctor to doctor, hearing the worst news. They were not taught about their own powerful energy, universal laws, that we come from source energy and it has every thing we could need or want in our lives. We just forget or aren't sure how to connect to it. And that's when we lose our way.

Don't limit your belief system. Reach out to the Universe, send out the best possible thoughts and intentions even (and especially) when times are difficult. If we live by the law of attraction, we will get back exactly what we send out. If you are having a difficult time connecting or are just plain "stuck," get some assistance. There are some wonderful, well known energy healers that can give you insights and help you release some of the negative energy that perhaps is stored in your body from those stressful times. Don't be afraid to reach out, find help and learn that you really CAN heal yourself. Don't limit YOUR beliefs, your Intentions are much more powerful then you are likely to ever realize. Now it's your turn to reach for the sky.
