I am a firm believer in Counting your Blessings.  As difficult as things might be for some of you right now, look upward.  And say a prayer or a gratitude of blessings for all the truly wonderful things you have in your life RIGHT NOW. 

Someone always has things worse.  When we count our blessings, they mulitply.  It's not only the Law of Attraction and a Feng Shui belief, it also helps us maintain our focus on all the GOOD we have in our lives.

Tomorrow many of you will be truly Thankful.  It's a day to give Gratitude.  Wake up with that thought every day........it is amazing what that mindset will get you in life!  For some it may take practice--but if you do it AND are consistent, it will become as easy as taking your next breath...and something you won't have to think about consciously anymore.

Many blessings and joys to everyone on Activerain---For a Joyful and Blessed Holiday AND Year!

For all the Abundance you'd like

For All the Blessings you Deserve

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone at Activerain.  Happy Thanksgiving to my wonderful family and spectacular friends.  And to the many, MANY special clients who have allowed me into their lives.

  A Manhattan Feng Shui Consultant's Advice..... 

Although I practice Feng Shui in New York City and Long Island, I get questions from all over the United States.  I do many Feng Shui Consultations at a distance and have heard that some Feng Shui Consultants do not answer questions due to a shortage of time.  

I love to hear the interest in Feng Shui.  I also receive questions from believers and skeptics alike.

A recent question about purchasing a new home from a buyer made me pause.  Her question was whether I believed she and her husband should purchase this home-from a Feng Shui Perspective.  Can you see what made her hesitate?

Here's a link to the home she'd like to buy:

I am not sure what other Feng Shui Consultants would advise but I have seen, firsthand, that when a client LOVES a home or a business their own personal energy can overcome any Feng Shui "issues."

In this case they didn't want to cut down the tree although they could see it obstructs the front door.  In case you aren't familiar with Feng Shui, the front door represents "The Mouth of Chi"  --  where all the good energy enters.  Although many people still refuse to give up their convenient garage-door entrances, most Feng Shui Consultants would agree you are not allowing the new energy to enter.

I would NOT deter someone from buying a home or business if they truly LOVE it-and they DO love this house.  Here are my suggestions to her to enhance The Mouth of Chi:

*Light up the pathway to the front door.  I love using Solar Lights to do this and they are relatively inexpensive.

*Use a Wind Chime at the entrance.  It attracts Energy.

*USE THE FRONT DOOR.   Allow the new energy IN.

*Create a balance to offset the tree.  A pair of Plants on each side can accomplish this easily.

*Add a Bagua (Octagon) mirror above the front door.  I actually prefer the plain ones with no borders and they can be found very inexpensively online.  They are often used for Jewlery Display and that's a search term to use to find them.

*Make sure the front door has lights (most already do).

An optional but not necessary adjustment would to paint the front door.  RED attracts CHI (energy) while BLACK is the color of CAREER.

I'd love to hear Home stagers, Realtors or other Feng Shui Consultant's advice.  Perhaps I've missed something or perhaps you don't happen to believe they should purchase this home.  There are so many perspectives of Feng Shui-and I love hearing them ALL.  So would this person, I'm sure.........

Feng Shui Consultant - And Beings of LIGHT

Feng Shui in New York

As many of you may know, my daughter, Laura Cerrano is also a Feng Shui Consultant practicing primarily in Manhattan and New Paltz.  She sent me this picture, taken on Election night with a small Cannon Digital Camera.

It was shot right on the New Paltz campus when those who supported President Elect Obama went out to celebrate.  She had told me the Energy was intense that evening; some people were crying, some cheering and some just watching in awe at the scene.

We are frequently in Client's homes and they allow me to photograph them.  On occasion, we have seen orbs show up in the photos later-most particularly if the clients appear to be anxious or are speaking of issues with spirits they may feel. 

There is no definitive explanation for Orbs.  Parapsychologists often believe them to be "Spirit Energy."  Some can be explained as dust particles or rain.  Another theory is that we ALL give off Energy and as it changes form, it can create round balls of light-ORBS.  We were both struck by the amount of Orbs in this photo-and not a raindrop in site.

I thought I would share the picture with you and ask you---many of you take photos quite often.  HAVE YOU EVER GOTTEN ORBS?  If you have, what have YOU attributed them to?

Long Island Restaurant Week is Almost Ending!

This is one of my favorite events!  Long Island Restaurant Week has begun and now's the time to try all those fabulous restaurants you've always wanted to go to but thought they were too expensive!

I was thrilled to see the list and am happy to say some of Long Island's most highly acclaimed restaurants are participating.  Each has their own specials and policy's so read carefully for the places you would like to try and then make your reservations!

One of the places listed on here is consistently rated by Zagats for their quality and imaginative meals, their stunning décor and their impeccable service.  I am also a bit partial to it because Feng Shui Long Island and New York had the pleasure of doing a Feng Shui Consultation for them several years ago!  Louis XVI is located in Patchogue Long Island New York directly on the water.

Impeccable Kitchen

Pure Elegance

Back Left Hand Corner---Notice anything here?

Consistantly Rated Number 1 in Decor

Stunning Views

Stunning views, wonderful service and great meals and desserts no matter what you try.  They also have a "tasting" menu so you can choose to try several different dining delights---at the same price!

I have eaten in MANY of these restaurants and they all are wonderful!  Here's the list of who is participating this year:
