How Can I Bring More "Good Luck" Into My Life?

You could do this by the simple act of giving and receiving. Here is a quick story to help illustrate this principle.

On Memorial Day weekend in 2015 I decided to visited Block Island for a day trip. Before boarding the ferry in Montauk, NY, I stopped in town to check out an arts and crafts fair. After briefly walking around, I found myself drawn to a photography booth.

David, the photographer, greeted me and we began chit chatting.  He told me all about the process and locations of each photo. After about 15 minutes I decided to make a purchase.

Originally I was going to buy a gift for myself (eyeing a beautiful white wolf photograph) and last minute I decided to pick out a photo of a rustic car to gift my father. I handed David a $20.00 bill.

He looked at the bill and said, "oo wow, look what has been written on your twenty dollar bill!,... 1000! That is good luck!"

I looked at the $20.00, looked back at David and without hesitation responded, " That is good to know and may you be blessed with a $1,000.00 worth in sales by selling one photograph or many individual sales." David smiled and said "thank you. I'll tell you what, if I sell a $1,000 dollars worth of artwork today, I'll give you a photograph of your choosing for free."

Text message from David, May 24th, 2015

I said, "wow that would be amazing!" Yet, in my heart and mind had absolutely no expectation of either outcome. I just allowed the when, where, how, etc to unfold as it would and so did David. I said thank you, goodbye and proceeded to my destination.  

David sent me a text message not too long after we me. I was ecstatic and so happy for him! He sold $1050.00 worth of artwork in a matter of 5 minutes.  

I want to clarify, I never predicted anything (that was what David thought I said). He and I till this day are digesting what happened. But for now what I could say is the power of our mind, when in alignment with our heart Chakra and positive actions (integrity; following through, etc), and spoken words open up unlimited possibilities that could  lead to amazing life experiences and welcome in more "good luck." 

It's important to remember when it comes to feng shui, it's not all about the placement of an object (like a lucky frog or plant), the particular use of an accent color or textures. It also has to due with self awareness, character building, your mindset, actions and habits that contribute to your life experiences.

The Clutter Inside Your Office File Cabinets Could Have an Unconscious Connection

Define clutter...

“a collection of things lying about or stored away in mass.”

Clutter is a buzz word, introduced though the principles of feng shui back in the 1990's. Why is this topic so important to address? According to feng shui, clutter can impact us on various levels, not just with the physical presence.

Depending on the type of clutter you have in your office, and depending on where that clutter is located in accordance your Ba-gua Map Layout, your clutter could offer insight into your unconscious connections. This meaning, the hidden treasures you keep inside your office drawers (notes, letters, files, little objects, etc) could help shine light onto why you may be experiencing certain thoughts, habits and/or interactions with others (let that be perceived as positive or negative).  

I have a client in Los Angeles, California named Steve, who's intention is to improve communication with his clients and office colleagues. Steve told me for years he kept old files of real estate deals that went "dead" inside his office file cabinets. After observing the placement of these files in connection to the life sections they resided in and viewing the organizational system, his story aligned with his intention. 

His fame (reputation), wealth (finances), family (unity and support), and knowledge (self-cultivation) life sections were home to "dead deal" files. 

What do you think this could mean symbolically, energetically and literally in feng shui? If you thought stagnant or stuck energy due to the "dead" files, your on target!

Steve agreed to mindfully go though the files in his office drawers, carefully selecting which files have no business being there and which to keep. By doing this, he opens up the potential for building stronger relationships with existing and new clients. He is literally and energetically making room. 

Naturally, there are more components to this story and suggestions, yet at the surface level from a feng shui perspective, this is one of the first steps Steve could take to help reopen a better energy flow.
