Feng Shui works to create harmony between our internal world and our external world. As we practice Feng Shui, we bring these two worlds into harmony and create a life that is rich and fulfilling.
For many, the first impression of Feng Shui is its work on the external world, re-arranging the furniture and furnishing, often being sold the idea that we can “put a mirror here and a plant there and all will be well.” This idea is perpetuated in our culture of “have it now,” and “take a pill to fix it,” where we can simply click the button to download it or take a pill to make things all better immediately.
To suggest that a mirror in my entryway or a money tree in some corner of my home is going to suddenly bring great wealth into my life is equivalent to believing I will buy the winning lottery ticket or hit it rich on a slot machine. It’s relying on luck to create a quick fix. This passive form of Feng Shui sometimes works, but will do so very generally and “results may vary”!!!
Feng Shui is not about luck or some quick fix scheme. In fact, I like to describe Feng Shui as a “practice” because it is more similar to developing a skill such as dancing or playing the piano. We don’t take the stage for the first time and perform Swan Lake or sit down at the piano for the first time and compose a concerto. We develop our skill by practicing it regularly.
With Feng Shui, we are cultivating the life we desire. We practice clearing our thoughts and expressing our feelings as well as practice improving our interactions with the outside world, both in developing healthy relationships and in keeping a healthy environment. The internal world influences how we relate to the external world, and the external world influences how we think and feel. The two are independent, but they affect one another.
We can put a mirror in our entryway and the mirror does have its own energy vibration, which is working on its own level to influence us. But it’s not just the mirror that creates change, it is the intention we have in placing it there. The intention is re-enforced every time we see it, and serves to develop the internal change, the change necessary before we can create the external change we desire.
Feng Shui is about creating an environment that supports and re-enforces intentions so that as we move through our space, we are constantly reminded of where we intend to go in life.
If you are interested in creating harmony, a Feng Shui consultation brings an objective perspective to the physical space, identifying blocks, drains and limitations in the environment that are reflective of blocks, drains and limitations in our minds. Suggestions can help to up-lift, clear and increase the flow of energy, which in turn help to create clarity and peace of mind.
Our internal world is reflected in our external world and the two harmonize so that we can live a clear and purpose-filled life.
Here’s to a peaceful and harmonize life for all!
