#1 I have to tell you a happy story that involves feng shui. My brother has been laid off for just a few weeks shy of 2 years and had only 3 more checks coming from unemployment. He told me about an interview he had with Antonelli College in downtown Cincy for an IT administrator job. They interviewed him 3 times and said they wanted to hire him as long as he passed a background check. However, about 20 years ago he had legal problems in Texas that has been keeping him from being hired at other companies, so he was really sweating it. I told my sister-in-law we needed to feng shui the wealth/prosperity section of their house just for good measure. Long story short, he got a phone call about an hour ago and HE GOT THE JOB! I get teased all the time from people when I tell them about feng shui, so this time the joke’s on them IT WORKS! Thank you for Move Your Stuff Change Your Life, you have helped our family beyond measure! Diane H. #2 My friend had a brain aneurysm and was willing to try anything. She feng shuied and did nothing else – and it honest-to-gosh shrank — no medical intervention necessary. With this worry out of the way, she climbed up the ladder professionally and she’s really healthy now. So then, she shared feng shui with my cousin who had a brain tumor and was constantly falling down due to balance issues. My friend and I went to her house and guess what we found — – the foot of her bed was lined up with the bedroom door (death position – yikes!) and she had a reading light clipped onto her headboard to read – right above her head! She’s been in the house for a couple of years and that’s where the tumor was diagnosed. Her cat kept smacking the light as if trying to get rid of it (even slept on it sometimes,) but the clamp was holding good so he couldn’t use his cat feng shui gift. 
We used the helpful people box and energized the health guas AND the helpful people gua that is supposed to be in charge of the head. From the very first night after moving her bed, she reported sleeping all night – which was a first! Anyway, she had surgery to remove the tumor, but when the doctors went in her head to remove it, they couldn’t take anything out because they couldn’t find it. They decided that they mis-read her scans and wanted to do another surgery to look for and get it. By the third follow up visit with the doc post useless surgery, the doctors concluded that the tumor was gone. Now she’s going to g back to work! Was it there! Was it not? The docs say it was. Who knows – but we think it is better to NOT have it and we think feng shui helped that! Now we have to get that helpful people box going again because since there was no tumor, she’s having trouble getting her insurance to pay for it! Alice K
Does Feng Shui Really Work? Absolutely!
Last week I did a consultation for a gal who has turned a home into a Board and Care home for senior citizens. She had it ready for months and had many people come to check it out, but not a single one of them signed up. She did admit that the first “renter” is usually the hardest to get, but she was really stumped as to why this home was not getting renters. It had a golf course view right out the back door, and had plenty of nice living space and many bedroom choices to rent. This is the third home that she has converted, so she is not new to the field.
During the consultation, I treated this home in a couple of ways. I looked at it as if I was someone who was going to live there. I pointed out anything that I felt “was off message” like dirt/grime, personalized trinkets, as well as clutter. (She was living there until she got the first renter.) This is the same tactic that I use when I’m trying to sell a home for a client. No one wants to move into a room that has dirty baseboards, grime in the closet door track, left-behind things in closets, nicks in the wall paint, and dirty windows. These things REALLY jump out – especially when there is no furniture in the room like some of these bedrooms.
I also tried to “tell the story” of how a renter would live there – similar to how you might stage a home to sell. We created a “game room” (complete with the game on the table in the sun room,) a TV/computer lounge, a family-style dining room, and a few outdoor seating areas that made the most of the gardens and golf course view.
One of these outdoor seating areas was just outside the front of the house where one bedroom had french doors to the front garden. The problem with this set of doors is that they competed with the front door — to be more specific, they actually won out over the front door because they were visible from the street but the front door was not. So, we placed a bistro table and chairs to “block” the french doors and make them look like a private patio space instead of a possible front door. We then set about to add more “front door clues” along the sidewalk between the real front door and the sidewalk (colorful whirly-gig, chime, etc.) to easily guide people to the formal front door.
Of course we did space clearing and employ the helpful people box cure to set the intentions as well, …and voila! Seven days later, after months and months of waiting for a renter, she had someone sign up. She made over 8 times the money she paid me, and will be receiving that amount each and every month while that renter is there! Now that’s a direct financial success, right? Woo-hoo!
Her husband, who wasn’t on board at all with her spending the money to have me do a feng shui consultation, is now on board with any feng shui ANYTHING she wants to do. Does feng shui really work? You bet!
