Job Interview Tips with Feng Shui

by on January 15, 2012 in Career and Life Path, Prosperity, Wealth and Abundance

My son is auditioning for an arts school this month, which reminded me to pull out the feng shui tips for job interviews. Here are some of my ideas to maximize success:

1. Employ the “helpful people box.” Place the name of the person you are interviewing with, the company name, and anyone else you can think of that needs to be helpful with regard to you getting this job on paper (try red to activate it) and place it in a metal box with a lid or a metallic envelope, and then place that box or metallic envelope in the front right-hand part of your home or your desk space with the intention of everyone on that list helping you in this endeavor.

2. Start a “fake-it-till-you-make-it diary.” Write down each day how your day goes now that you are employed with this company – diary-style…”For example, “today, I got up excited to get into work today because all of the work I do there is so exciting and rewarding! I literally say to myself all the time “I’m so lucky to have this awesome job!” It feels great to be in such a good position to be so helpful… – whatever you want to say here… Write every day, just like you would write a diary…you might want to do this fake diary cure as if you are talking about your ultimate DRAEM JOB instead of the one you are interviewing for, in case there is a better fit out there for you. (This employs trust – if you do not get this current job, you gotta keep writing as that better on is finding its way to you!)

3. Wear something blue if you do a face to face interview as it denotes “trust-worthiness.”

4. Wear something red (can even be and probably is preferable to be hidden) to give you a little extra “power” during the interview.

5. Peel 9 orange pieces of peel off of an orange and place those bits in your pocket with intentions of clearing any negativity off of you during this interview.

6. Have a neat, clean, and big-enough-to do-the-job desk space built and ready to go at home. Even if you are not going to use it for this job, it will energetically say “I’ve got the time and space to handle this job.”  If you are living in a Starbucks off of a laptop and can’t figure out why you do not have full time PERMANENT employment, consider that your desk space is saying “you are temporary” for you.

7. Be on time, be prepared, and know how to interview – everyone always expects feng shui to be oddball, but the mundane every-day stuff IS important to your feng shui too!

Can Your Dreams Really Come True in a Bad Economy?

by on January 1, 2012 in Just for Fun

It’s easy to buy into the “stinkin’ thinkin’ of the masses” who gripe about how the economy is keeping them down and out. But what if the problem is there because you simply bought into it?

I often ask my clients to describe in detail how their job, their finances, or their relationship, or whatever else they hired me to get for them with feng shui would go if they got it. Many respond in two ways. They either say, “Oh, I don’t really know exactly” or they spout off some energetically-disconnected, pie-in-the-sky, rote-type of response like “a million dollars,” or “the knight in shining armor.” Some are just stumped, and look at me like I just asked them to recite the tax code word-for-word or something.

Here’s a little feng shui secret (not really, but hopefully it got your attention if you got stinkin’ thinkin’!) The recipe for success includes: 1. Getting CLEAR on your intention and having a CLEAR vision of what you want to attract.

2. Spending time imagining how you’ll feel, what you’ll see, what you’ll hear and what you’ll be saying to yourself when this change has happened in your life.

3. Believing that it can be yours NOW.

Two ways you can organize and anchor these dreams, thoughts and beliefs are to journal and to create a vision board. I recently had one client write me to let me know how her vision board worked for her:

“I would like to let you know almost all of it had happen this year. I became a flight attendant & got my passport this year & had a steady man in my life all year until recently. I’m looking forward to doing another for next year now that I have new goals for the upcoming year. I feel sort of different this year, I guess more spiritually & I what to focus on that. Thank you for all the info you put out every month.” Sincerely Elizabeth A.

As you can see, she has a “cup half full” attitude rather than a “this economy is killing me” attitude, even with the “steady man” leaving – VERY IMPORTANT distinction. This minute detail is a big part of what separates those who prosper and those who dry up when mass consciousness is in the dumper.

So, rate yourself on how often you think positively and how often you are playing over at the stinkin’ thinkin’ playground, and see if there is a correlation. I invite you to spend more time over in the playground that has you exploring how it looks, feels, sounds and tastes like to have your dreams fulfilled – especially as this is a brand new year!

And if you are craft-challenged, and need a kick-start on how to create a visions board, check out this site!

Feng Shui Success Stories

by on September 7, 2011 in Blog, De-Cluttering, Relationships and Love, Success Stories, Wealth and Abundance

#1 I had been reading here online and started moving my stuff a week ago. Without any notice, I suddenly received a letter saying that my salary was being increased. I then bought your book, which arrived on Friday 1/7/11. I had Friday off and came home and started reading and moving, adapting and cleaning, cleaning, cleaning and cleaning.

I finished reading your entire book and cleaning 99.9% of my flat last night. I ached and ached but felt fantastic and went to bed but was suddenly awake 3.39am this morning and have been actively implementing more of your book since. I have put so much energy and time into moving my stuff and will now continue with my life in the same way that feng shui will work quiet miracles around me – and into life. A great big thanks to you for your book – brilliant read. I was disappointed to get to the end. Thanks, Wendy C.

#2 My husband and I felt that the energy in our home wasn’t good, and I stumbled across your book online (which was highly recommended). I just finished reading it and we started “feng shui”-ing the apartment.

Yesterday, while cleaning and moving things around, I stumbled across a brand new foulard scarf (we live in Paris) which was given to my husband as a gift in a bookshop. The problem was that it had “crime scene” written all over it, with crime scene tape design, and I didn’t know what to do with it. My husband suggested that we used it as a dusting rug and, before I had the time to think about it, he was dusting the career section of the apartment. It didn’t feel right to me, however, and I told him that “I don’t want a crime scene in the house,” so he ended up throwing out the scarf and we both forgot about it.

THIS MORNING while I was asleep (dreaming about a thief, by the way), I was awakened by strange noise and my husband talking to a guy. The guy was a thief that broke a window and pretended to be a construction worker. He fled before the police got here. After a few hours with the police (they took fingerprint and blood samples that the guy left behind), my husband just finished taping the window with colorful tape. In the meantime, I have been trying to figure out what objects we might have moved to the wrong place to attract a burglar, when I remembered yesterday’s incident with the scarf. We are still in shock about how fast feng shui works. So, I just wanted to share this story with you and thank you for your book. If the negative changes can occur this quickly, I am really looking forward to all the POSITIVE changes now! N. N.

#3 Watching the video reminded me to clean up some things. I started in the bathroom (helpful people) by shutting the drain in the tub and wrapping red ribbon around the toilet water pipe. I’m going to get some gray towels today which will go nicely. I’ve got a beachside painting which is hanging too high (I generally don’t hang them too high )

Then, I moved back to the prosperity area where I’ve set up my home office in the main living space. I had stacks of paper for work and it was a jumble-dy mess! I sorted through that and am working to get rid of the paper – by scanning, filing and shredding! I also went to get construction paper and put a piece of purple over there with a bag of coins.

Today I got 3 checks for insurance reimbursement for clients. A client who I’d seen earlier this week had their card declined AFTER they left the session. They’ve been avoiding my calls so today I attempted to run the card again and it went through! Not too shabby! I have some other things in the works but that’s an awesome start! Thanks again, Karen, Delee

How Fast Can Feng Shui Work?

by on July 15, 2011 in Blog, Career and Life Path, Fame and Reputation, Furniture Position in Room, General

I’ve been fast and furiously feng shuiing my way through New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut this week and just have to share some of the great stories that I’ve got! On Tuesday, I went to three clients in a row in NYC….all single gals in one bedroom apartments. I took along Katie, one of the gals that graduated from my online feng shui training program who wanted to shadow me as well. The first gal was an aspiring actor who has been studying the craft and trying to make connections. She doesn’t have an agent or anything like that yet, but she wanted to get started with the actual money-making portion of her new-found career. I’d say her main feng shui issue was the fact that her desk was very thin, and faced a wall. Now if this is your big money-making desk, I’m telling you all, you’ve GOT TO get some space in front of your face and NOT shove the desk against the wall! So we moved it along with the entire living room arrangement and guess what? As we were wrapping up the phone rang and it was a casting director who wanted her to come over IN TWO HOURS to audition for a commercial. Can feng shui work fast? Heck yea.

 

 

 

 

 

More on the second and third client soon…

Success Story from Reading My Book

by on August 27, 2010 in Success Stories

Many people who have not read my book ask me, “Can you really change your life by just doing some of these simple things in your book?” Here’s a success story from a reader who did just that!

“Your book has had such an amazing impact on my life. Thanks to your suggestions for “cures”, my skeptical husband and I were able to sell our home in one week, land my husband his dream job, and receive $2,500 that we were not expecting but came to us at the exact moment we needed it!
My husband is a skeptic no more and has been urging me to find a consultant for our new home.
Many thanks to you for putting the ancient practice of feng shui in a readable, understandable format!  I wish you luck and success in everything that you do.” M. G.

Sounds to me like she’s being her own consultant and getting good results, but I always say, “It doesn’t hurt to have a fresh pair of feng shui eyes taking a look around.” Between her work and the work of a feng shui consultant coming in, I’m sure she’ll soon attract all the things she wants changed in her life!
