In Feng Shui you need to be aware of What or Who is backing you up in Life?...
Feng Shui has many methods and theories. One of them are known as the Form School which is the oldest method of Feng Shui and was originally used to find the most auspicious placement for burial grounds. It eventually evolved onto finding the best building locations for the living.
This Method of Feng Shui helps with assessing the environment through forms such as rivers, mountains etc..that surround you home or business. Auspicious animals, which include the Phoenix, Turtle, Dragon and White Tiger, are also used to help with providing more support and protection to your life.

IF you are addressing this method of Feng Shui in your office or at home you can apply an image or sculpture of a mountain behind you. Even your diplomas and certificates can be used because that is what you have accomplished and gives you the knowledge and support to be where you are today and to continue.

I recently did a Feng shui consultation in Hicksville NY and an interesting situation was brought to my attention.
My client Alicia of Long Island NY mentioned she is studying to become a layer in NYC and is very focused and hard working. She shared with me that her boss has been extremely negative towards her and makes her feel like "nothing." The interesting set up to this story from a Feng Shui perspective is that she told me the lay out of her desk location in the New York City office. There are not cubicles, just desks. I asked, where in relation do you sit from your boss. She replied "o my boss sits behind me."

Alicia basically stated that her boss, the one who criticizes her, makes her feel like "nothing" and dis-encourages her skills in the office and for her future... is who backs her up at work (and a portion in life). Your work relates to your home and vis verse. This is the type of individual you do not want to have sitting behind you.
In Part two I will share how to address such people in your life, again every situation is different.
So who or what is backing you up?
