New York & Feng Shui:  Blending the Two Together

I always wonder if you took a random group of New Yorkers' and asked how many believed in Feng Shui what the percentage would be.  I would love to do one of those polls where you just choose random people and get their thoughts and ideas of New York Feng Shui.

As a Feng Shui Consultant for New York City you know you'll find me there often with my daughter who had been training for five years and I am now convinced knows as much as I do.  She is terrific at a consultation and no longer needs a senior Feng Shui Consultant with her; I'm very proud of her.  Besides my own on site training with her she's had some of the best teachers around and has attended many intensives.

And one of the best ways to teach is what we had the opportunity of years ago as well....on site Feng Shui consultations where you can SEE the homes, offices, businesses and corporations; you develop Feng Shui Eyes and Feng Shui Intuition and feel the Energy surrounding you.

New York Feng Shui is different from Long Island Feng Shui because the surrounding energy of any place you are doing is so different.  It may just be the energy of New York City that always has me wanting to go back.  Today I received a call from a client I had done who lives in Staten Island and is looking for work in New York City who feels the same way  about it's energy.

Which has nothing to do with this post, actually.  This post is just sharing a small piece of New York City on an absolutely beautiful day in one of it's many smaller parks I hadn't seen before.  It's called Madison Square Park but interestingly is nowhere near Madison Square Garden....it was, however, on the way to our destination....you'll have to come back another day to see where we were heading this time.

I hope you enjoy the pictures:

There is always new construction going on.

Although the sun was not in my favor, most everyone recognizes the picture on the right by it's shape.

New York Feng Shui Consultant....and Madison Square Park, New York City.

The roped off, quiet sections of the park and...

It's next to impossible to keep New Yorkers' INSIDE on a day like this!  No, this wasn't lunch hour :)

The lovely statues are a very popular gathering place with the lovely brownstones in the background.

The Pet run in the Park.  It was kind of hot to be running around, these dogs were taking it easy.  New York City IS pet friendly!

If you have never been to New York, this may be the perfect time to visit.  The weather is just getting to be Spring, things are in bloom and the city is coming alive with Energy after a long winter.

I had a wonderful Feng Shui Consultation in New York recently with an interesting story.  The client who had called had been fortunate enough, years ago to have had a Feng Shui Consultation with a Feng Shui Master who came from China.  He practiced what is known as the "Form" School of Feng Shui, an art that I don't believe is taught here any longer.

It is one of the oldest schools of Feng Shui that we are aware of and he advised my client in his office setting to be "backed up in life."   The Form school teaches you to have the Mountain at your back for support and water in front of you for Energy.  You are also supported on both sides when this method is done correctly.  He advised my client of some changes to make and his business began to turn around and prosper.

We do, in Feng Shui, still check what is "backing" us up in life.  Whether it is a headboard for sleep (wood is recommended, strong and sturdy) or the mountains behind us, many of us feel it is an important aspect.  We all need support in life, from our friends, family and even our home and business.

This reminded me of another client I had done recently who was having some issues with finding a job.  Although her resume and credentials were outstanding, it just hadn't come in yet and in seeing her office space, I could see why.  She wasn't supported in this area, in fact, it was just the opposite.  Behind her was exercise equipment (her office was an excellent space for an exercise room as well) but behind her computer-AND her back was a mirror.  There is not only no support in a mirror but in fact it was just "pushing" things back at her making find a position difficult. 

The mirror, however, was needed for exercise so we decided to have her match the blinds that were in there for window coverings and they can be raised and lowered when she needed to make changes in her space between work and exercise.  An easy and simple "fix" for a Feng Shui issue.  Check what is supporting YOU in your area where you work and sleep.  It's nice to be "backed up" in life.

As much as I love to put a positive spin on things we can do to change the Energy in Feng Shui to flow in a positive direction, there are several things most clients seem to be stuck on.  They won't change them no matter what.  Are they hard or difficult?  No.  Do they cost any money?  Again, no.  But even begging hasn't worked.  They stay...period.

All I can do is leave them with WHY I would like to make the changes and allow them to make their own decisions.  And this is where experience kicks in as well.  I have seen issues occur over periods of time because I keep in touch with so many clients.

So what am I rambling about NOW?  Two things, actually, that I would love to change in client's homes, businesses, corporations or anywhere they happen to be.  Ceiling Fans are one.  And the "newest" trend of constant use of the Garage Door to come in and out of the house.  Those garage doors are convenient and most homeowners want them, they DO make life easier.  And certainly when you have groceries or the weather is bad they are wonderful.

Never addressing the front door in Feng Shui, however, is a mistake.  It is called "The Mouth of Chi" and VERY important to use on a regular basis to allow the good energy for every area of your life to enter.  It's not difficult, it doesn't cost a cent and it actually, to me, makes GOOD sense.  Just TRY it, I'll tell them....some will and many won't.  They love the ease and convenience of their garage doors.

My other concern is Ceiling Fans.  I have never had one as I have very high plaster ceilings and years (and years) ago when I had wanted one installed, I was advised against it by a friend.  One who had the same type of walls and ceilings.  It made a mess, she said and cracked the rest of the plaster; that was enough for me to hear.  But they are very popular in both Long Island AND New York City.

In certain places and when a client won't be under them for long periods of time, I don't mind them very much.  But I'm sure many of you will relate that they are often in BEDROOMS directly over the bed.  This is a cause for concern because from a Feng Shui perspective, they are sharp blades with the ability to cut Energy.  It is called "Cutting Chi" or "Cutting Sha" and I'm sure you've heard the terms before.  Particularly when your body is at rest, it is most Open (or most vulnerable) to this type of Energy and it can, over a period of time, take a toll on your health.  Leaving the fan but not turning it on is one alternative; even having a regular standing fan which has "barriers" in front of the blades is a better solution for those who absolutely are addicted to the fans.

They now have room air conditioners as well that can help for these areas.  But clients love their fans.  They look at me in horror at the thought of removing them or even just leaving them off while they are lying under them.  I am afraid the must become addicting judging by some people's reaction to the suggestions.

This is not a post to scare anyone but to make them aware of what WE consider harmful---and WHY.  And give you some simple alternatives to replace them that perhaps you won't mind.  They do not cause illness overnight but CAN possibly cause it over TIME.  And it's something to be mindful of....especially if you are thinking of installing one.

Not long ago on one of these beautiful days a client was gracious enough to walk back to Penn Station with me after a New York Feng Shui Consultation.  She asked why I would travel to New York City to do my Feng Shui Consultations when I live on Long Island.  I explained how much I love the City and that I felt the Energy was very different in NYC than on Long Island.  It can also be more challenging to do all the New York Apartments, Condos, Co-ops, Studios and Businesses because they came in so many sizes and shapes.  There are Feng Shui solutions to everything that are easy and inexpensive and I loved the opportunity of seeing so many different types of housing.

This was not a day for Feng Shui, however.  This particular day was, according to the weatherman, going to be a beauty.  As many of you know, I love to tell a story with pictures and these I hope will take you right with me-to the top of New York City.  Passing the Empire State building that morning, it occurred to my daughter that it had been many years since we had been up to the top; on a whim, we did just that.

It occurred to me later WHY I don't do this spectacular scene often-the WAIT.  On a weekday and during the morning hours, we still waited approximately two hours to get up---and another to get down.  Think of all the TIME I'm saving you : )

We literally took MANY pictures but here are some of my favorites and a View from the Top of the Empire State Building---a Bird's Eye View:

I don't know if you can see them but there are people on the rooftop of this building, enjoying the day their way!      

I am STILL curious:  Was it Fog?  Or Smog?

              This bird REALLY wanted a Bird's Eye View :) 

I know I'm partial to this city but it IS breathtaking, isn't it?

Look Carfefully...Some of these pictures show the  Chrystler Bldg., The Met Life Bldg and others.

What WAS that old movie with James Cagney where he was saying he was "At the Top of the World, Ma"?

I hope you enjoyed the the New York City sights.

We ALL know we have been Spring Cleaning....it was such a long winter for so many of us; fact is we couldn't WAIT to start shedding the old.  In Feng Shui we always let go of the old to allow the NEW and positive Energy IN.....and that's exactly what we all need right now, a Good dose of FENG SHUI.

One of the things I believe that is misunderstood most in Feng Shui is that it's not necessarily the big changes you are making that will make a difference to your lives and the quality of them.  It is often the small, simple things we do, something they are just the things we do on a regular basis.

If you believe at all in THE SECRET or The Law of Attraction, Intention is just another word for it that we've been using for YEARS to create the lives we've been looking to create.  But often we forget the most important thing when making ANY changes in our surroundings:  Putting our INTENTIONS into EVERYTHING we do.  It's certainly simple enough and it absolutely can't hurt-give it a try.

Whether it's a bigger Springtime job you are undertaking (like the Garden), use visualization to picture and actually SEE more abundance in your life.  Or if you're doing something simple like dusting, see it as a way of cleaning out stagnant energy and infusing new and positive energy while you are doing it.  Your surroundings really do have a deep and profound impact on our lives; Professor Lin Yun says that INTENTION into the changes accounts for about 80% of the changes we are likely to see, while the actual change itself accounts for only 20%  --  Pretty high statistics and something definitely worth investing in.  It won't cost you a penny and maybe just a few minutes of your time.

Think about adding your Intentions to ANYTHING that you are doing-and there are SO many things we do each day we are likely to just breeze through them without thinking.  Try getting some Feng Shui EYES for this, clean everything with the Intentions of cleaning out the old and unuseful to bring in more of what you need and want.  Truly cleaning out and lightening up by selling things or donating them create even MORE room---think about it.  It can't hurt and you WILL feel better!

I have the deepest respect for Forest Gump who was SO right when he said "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know WHAT you're going to get."  But your favorites are in that box as well....put your order in for them and they'll come along, probably when you're least expecting it.  I love surprises and bet you do, too.

*Clear it out if it needs it, you'll feel SO much better!

Years ago (and yes, still today on occasion) I will do a Feng Shui Consultation for someone for free.  There are people that contact me that have very sad situations in their lives and simply can't afford to pay for one.  Not being the "business-person" I should have become years ago and believing so strongly that Feng Shui CAN and WILL help them, I will do a full consult and not charge them.

Otherwise I charge what I believe to be below the regular "going rate" so that people from all situations can afford them.  For that reason I may find myself in a Mansion on the North Shore of Long Island or a Corporation in New York to do a Feng Shui Consultation or I may find myself in an area locally where we are freezing because the owner can't afford to turn on the heat.  They, too believe in Feng Shui and the power of changing your thinking and beliefs and changing some things or eliminating them from your environment to make you feel better and allow fresh, new Energy to come in-and it does!

While doing a paying customer recently by distance I didn't ask for the first part of my payment until after we had begun...half way through to be exact.  So I would receive half the payment after the first half of the Consultation and the second half when we finished.  Once I didn't get paid the second half.  And it happened again recently (for which I've just changed my policy).  I had not called the woman for payment but had emailed her....and got no response. I decided to let it go.  While telling a friend about the situation she asked me why I gave up my power to other people.

It's funny that people who are close to you can see things in you that you don't.  I do often give up my power because it is "easier" or I don't want to have an argument with someone.  So I'll give into a situation.  For the many of us that do that, it's time to stop giving up our power.  Thinking about it later, I did in fact call the woman who had not paid me.  While she made several excuses for it, I did end up getting the final payment. 

How often, I wonder, do I do that without even realizing it?  For me, I'm reclaiming something I never should have given away---my power in a situation.  If someone is wrong, I will tell them.  If they are unfair, if they've hurt my feelings I let them know.  They may not necessarily WANT to know but then I believe, It's up to them whether or not to rectify the situation.  I believe it's the best policy and if someone is REALLY your friend, they are going to listen, carefully, to what YOU have to say. 

I'm sorry I learned this so late in life but better late then never.  Believe me, I'm not looking for trouble but I am, finally, reclaiming my power.

I hate to blame the bearer of bad news; it’s really NOT fair. I’ve noticed lately that I’m beginning to dislike the arrival of my mailman. Since I have gotten out of the hospital, the bills have been coming faster then I can keep up. You would think they might let you get a bit WELL before they’d start sending these things.

 Funny with what I’m paying for an individual policy (over $800.00 per month); it amazes me what is NOT covered. Things that you wouldn’t know about, of course, unless you required a hospital stay. I will have to wonder if it should ever come up again if I can afford to go!

And you also forget the occasional GOOD things you can receive. A hand-written card, for example. From someone you don’t know so you have to hunt for your glasses so you can see exactly what it is. Some of you might remember a while ago I wrote a post about being contacted for a brief “Thank You” note for an article in Woman’s Day. Janene Mascarella from The Long Island Exchange had previously done an article/interview with me on Feng Shui and when she got the assignment for Women’s Day, she thought enough to contact me for a submittal. She did advise me, at the time, that it also had to be approved by the editors at Woman’s Day. I didn’t think of it at all until I received an email from Janene that they had decided to publish it.

 And of course what you thought would happen never does. It was relatively early today when my son got home from work---bringing in the MAIL. Some of you might remember this post: 100,000 Points and One HECK of a Journey: DETERMINATION....A Feng Shui Story and the fact that I had found my long lost cousin because of it.  You don't necessarily get the person or thing you EXPECT in life....or DO you?

Somehow, 1996 and TODAY are feeling very familiar.  I resonated with Feng Shui and when I heard of the school right here on Long Island there was no way I was NOT going to go.  It's amazing what can happen when you are so determined. 

There were, of course, more bills—and that note which said: “I am a friend of Deborah Rose and came across your note in Woman’s Day. I’d meant to contact you sooner but had forgotten about it and ran across it today. I thought you might like her address.” It was signed by someone I don’t know but will always treasure and gave me an address for Deborah that is in New York! It’s actually her card which shows she has become a Licensed Massage Therapist, Reiki Master and provides Reflexology.

What’s going on Here? If life has gone full circle, what happens next? I’m still not sure if yesterday was a step back or forward in going back to my former school and today I find the person that gave me the direction of Feng Shui (no pun intended). So what happens AFTER full circle? Are we back where we started? I am thrilled, of course and wrote Janene to let her know. And my AR friends who are there---even when the mailman doesn’t come : )

Spring was so late in coming this year; or perhaps it just felt that way.  It's pretty much remained colder then normal and rainy in the Northeast, making the days, although longer, feeling just as gloomy as they were.  I'm sure my impatience for warmer weather and sunshine didn't help.

I got up early the other morning and typically do some work on the computer first-and heard, for the first time, SONG.  A beautiful bird obviously close to the house decided to let loose and sing his heart out....no doubt he was feeling well, too.  And I remembered that Spring is not just a season we arrive at it's also a state of mind.  To allow the new in and the old out....it's funny that so many of us are into Spring Cleaning and it's for that very reason, we are READY to allow the new IN and realize it's time to let go of the old, the things that aren't working for us or that haven't been making us happy or serene.

To me Spring is more of a transformation.  Anyone that reads my posts from time to time will often see a butterfly; they are "my" sign because they are a literal sign of Transformation.  While many people are uncomfortable with change, it's a constant in my life and I love it (most of the time).  Springtime reinforces that; plants and flowers are budding and some are blooming (I have one particular tree that blooms for just about a week---I treasure every day of its blooms and it reminds me that it's time to start again). 

Feng Shui IS transformation; for my clients and for myself.  I learn as much from every one of them as I do from each consultation and we work on things together.  Energy changes, things around us change and there is transformation, the very thing we set out to create.  I'm actually fortunate that I get to see this all year!

If today was my "start" to Spring (the sun was out, the weather was warm....a perfect Spring day), then I am off to a particularly Auspicious one.  And my own Transformation.  I went today to speak to my old school about the teaching position they have for Feng Shui for the class.  I can't describe the feeling of walking in and the flood of memories that hit but in going over a Feng Shui curriculum for the day, I didn't hesitate not only to accept it, but to feel confident in doing so. 

On Tuesday, May 6^th I will be teaching in the very place I learned Feng Shui:  The Metropolitan Institute of Interior Design in Plainview, Long Island, NY.  I'm not quite sure what date Spring started on the calendar but for me, it began today.  And I'm filled with nothing but Positive Views for this new adventure!

Farmingdale, Long Island, New York---Then and Now

**The OLD days of Long Island....Wide Open Spaces, here a Nursery

As a 30 year resident of this town, I've been here longer then our new Mayor...For anyone familiar with Long Island, I moved all the way from Wantagh (The Gateway to Jones Beach) to arrive at what I consider the exact middle of Long Island...Farmingdale.  We are neither the prestigious North Shore nor the trendy South Shore but are right in the middle, bordering two Counties, Nassau and Suffolk.

**Our Columbus Day Fair, Main Street and Conklin, Farmingdale, Long Island, 2007

My personal facts that I know is that Farmingdale used to be called the Town of Hardscrabble.   It was purchased from land already acquired in our neighboring town of Bethpage, New York (some may remember a post I did there about the US Open returning to Bethpage next year).  My "block" had exactly TWO houses on it originally, mine and the one right next door and the rest were-potato fields - and Pickle Farms.  At one time Farmingdale and it's surrounding towns were home to more then 30 pickle farms!    One of the "Owners" of our blocks, of Dutch Decent, is actually buried with his family on the block. 

The style of homes varies here quite a bit from the older "cottages" of which I own one to the newer and very expensive new homes that go up all over town.   The land is now allowed to be constantly sub-divided and with the possible exception of my home, there are no longer "starter" homes available in our lovely town. The wide open spaces, for the most part are gone by the ongoing construction of new homes and businesses.  Some of the homes in "early" Farmingdale were built together-Queens type style as they were attached.  It is the way people were used to living.  That's the unofficial version of Farmingdale.

**Farmingdale Memorial in Farmingdale Village

 Here's the historical facts:  Once known as Hardscrabble (although no one knows exactly why), a man named Thomas Powell purchased 15 square miles of land from three native American tribes in 1687.  Wise move.  These became the areas of Farmingdale, Bethpage, Old Bethpage, Melville, N. Massapequa and Plainview.  Our potato farms are long gone although we have some interesting facts about Farmingdale.  These areas of Long Island really became popular when the Long Island Rail Road included a stop here in 1841.  Little by little the potato fields and pickle factories that filled the area began to go and in 1902 they built a large Agricultural Collage, now SUNY Farmingdale University.

**Old Bethpage/Farmingdale Golf Course

Golf brought class to the area in the Farmingdale/Bethpage area with the building of The Farmingdale Golf Course which already had one US Open here and is scheduled to have another US Open next year.  One of our most treasured residents, Chief Deputy Peter J. Ganci of the FDNY was lost in the tragedy of 2001.

**Peter Ganci, St. Killian's Church, Farmingdale, NY

Still, Santa comes every year with treats for the children and Main Street retains its share of fairs and small town stores and shopping.  We have our fairs and Main Street, just like any little town.  It may be a bit unusual that some of the early settlers are buried with their families on the blocks they lived on...but that was Suburbia long ago.  And here it is today...pictures from around town on "old" and new...Farmingdale, Long Island, New York.

It isn't often that I will go to a client's home or business to teach them Feng Shui and work with them and find out they have as much to teach ME about what they do as I do about Feng Shui.  It is, obviously, people that are in tune with the power of Energy in its purest form that often call as they already understand the principles and believe in it.

It was a surprise last week to go to my Feng Shui Consultation in Manhattan and learn of a very special place there where not only their ARTS but their philosophy made me understand just how much I don't know about certain things.  I have done gyms before and even a Martial Arts Studio but this place, called Energy Fitness in Midtown was different then anything I have so far experienced.

*State of the ART equipment at Energy Fitness.

They have different modalities of fitness there; from machines to work on, personal trainers (my daughter was with me and has just become one) and Martial Arts training.  And taking clients who they teach the profound connection between MIND, BODY and SPIRIT between all of these.  They also feel they cannot help a client without knowing the issues going on in their lives and spend time speaking to a potential new client regarding their past.  They fully recognize that ALL modalities must work together for the best possible results which is what they seek to achieve from each and every client.

In Feng Shui we believe past energy should be cleared to begin again...and so as well they do at Energy Fitness.  Their philosophy is that anyone can "hold a pose" but it is your MIND that controls your motions; and is the best teacher.  Self defense is also taught there as well as Yoga and sometime in the future hope to offer Tai Chi as well as Martial Arts.

**Martial Arts are always under the watchful eye of an Instructor.

Breaking down the blockages in a person's mind allows them to open up to the possibilities.  And then both seeing AND feeling the changes, not only in their bodies but on an energetic level.

 **Beuatiful Colors to light up and enhance the Space

I found many Feng Shui Elements in place here with one exception:  This place was BUSY as were its owners.  So busy, in fact, it left little to no time to "play" and there wasn't a balance.  You can see on one side of this amazing center there are large, HEAVY weights (I went to move the small yellow one and couldn't budge it).  To add to that, they are tied together. For the moment, partnerships were feeling heavy and weighed down...and it's wonderful when you can SEE it and so can your client.  Thankfully,  the person is renting this particular space will be leaving shortly, taking those weights with them.  Things will lighten up considerably and partnerships will resume to their usual happy and prosperous state.  Yoga will be offered in that space, something I believe will make a tremendous difference.  The "weights" that have been making them feel somewhat held down will be gone...and things will begin to soar.

**THE WEIGHTS.  Holding them down--and back.

I find it a wonderful thing when you can actually SHOW someone their space and how it relates exactly to what they are speaking of.  If you put your "Feng Shui Eyes on," I have no doubt YOU can see it as well.  It wasn't the only thing I picked up but it was, I believe, the major contributing factor to what had to be addressed there.  I also was to hear that the former building had been left by a large disagreement....basically abandoned.  Something we think of always because we believe in Predessessor Energy and perform Space Clearings to make a SPACE your OWN and thereby infuse it with YOUR ENERGY for a new start.

I have put links for you to see the sights and unique qualities of this place where your MIND is the key to your body---and vice versa.  It all works together.  Discipline is taught, blockages are cleared, and health is restored.

**Upcoming Events and Matches. 

Http://www.EnergyFitness.com

You are welcome to stop in to feel and see the Energy of this place.  Energy Fitness is located right in Midtown Manhattan and welcomes visitors.

I am certainly hoping they have learned as much from me as I have from them and one bet is that my daughter Laura will return for Self-Defense; being already well familiar with Mind/Body/Spirit Connection, this will be a wonderful addition to her already holistic approach to personal training.  Time Out New York: Killer routines
