Clearing Your Aura with Feng Shui....Thoughts from a New York City Feng Shui Consultant
Years ago in Feng Shui School, we had the opportunity to take Advanced Classes called Weekend Intensives with some of the best Masters in the Field. Sadly, many are no longer teaching any longer.
Although they were expensive, I wanted the BEST training I could possibly get and don't believe I missed a one which afforded me so much more knowledge about the different Methods of Feng Shui than I could have learned in the classroom.
While the Director of the School, Pamela Laurence reminded us to be "Mindful" every day in everything we did with our future clients (a very powerful word when you think about it), I had an opportunity to see someone I'd heard about for years named Denise Linn. My notebook reminded me that Denise taught us "No Judgement."
She had studied Feng Shui from many different forms and methods and her classes were taken from Native American Spiritual Beliefs in not only Advanced Clearing and Blessings of Spaces and Environments in Feng Shui but also in teaching us how to clear out what is known as your "Aura".
It is said we ALL have Auras and some people can actually see them and use them in diagnosing a person's ills. Kirlian Photography is supposed to pick up these strong Energy Fields through your body as well. An Aura is your own personal Energy Field.
I came across the notebook I'd had from that particular class and it brought back a flood of memories. When we relate Feng Shui so much to Wholistic Health and other modalities for Healing such as Acupuncture or some types of Massage, until our Aura is released of the negative energy it has accumulated through the years, our bodies can't bring in and absorb the new, healing Energy.
We were taught how to clear a Person's Aura from a Native American perspective. Its part of Feng Shui and its common practices that usually isn't done and should not be done by someone not properly trained. Years ago I taught the methods to Laura who is also able to incorporate it into her Feng Shui Consultations in Manhattan NY if a client so chooses.
We explain what it is and if they are having physical ills or just want a cleansing, we include that as part of our Feng Shui consultation at no charge. Many, many clients have reported that it calmed them or made them feel better spiritually.
Feng Shui is NOT just Furniture Placement. Feng Shui IS about looking at someone from a Mind, Soul, Body Approach and using all your knowledge to heal and help.
I will be forever thankful for those classes and for being able to pass this knowledge on to my daughter. And I treasure the old notebook that always reinforces my beliefs about the sheer Energy of Feng Shui.
Denise Linn has many books and is an excellent author as well as one of the BEST real Masters of Feng Shui.

Carole, so true about "until our Aura is released of the negative energy it has accumulated through the years, our bodies can't bring in and absorb the new, healing Energy" . It is part of the cleansing mechanism of the wholistic modalities within ourselves. It can yield positive and uplifting spiritual sensations and calmness that is beyond merely furniture arrangement as it has deeper roots.
Carole,
Denise Linn is one of my favorite authors. She has a weekly show on Hayhouse Radio. I listen to it when I get a chance, it's excellent. I have learned a lot in the last couple of years.
There is no doubt that some people project a great aura and others not so much!
This is so true that we hold in the negativity and it is reflected to others. Thanks for another self check blog. Have a Great weekend!!
How cool would it be to have a massive online Aura Cleansing session here live in the Rain.
You could set up a webinar, charge a fee to attend and help thousands all at once!
Hi Carole, I learned something new today :) Some people do not even realize they project negativity and that is sad. And, I agree with Craig. Great idea! :)
Carole,
I remember reading about energy blockages in the body and how they can cause disease and pain....and they echo what you've said here. If only more people knew how you or Laura could help them and that it is free as part of the consultation!
Deepak Chopra writes excellent books on ayurvedic medicine. Have you read any of them?
Jo
I have often wondered if clearing your aura isn't a process you can do by yourself? I recognize it would take time and discipline, but to have the opportunity to let go of all the crud one carries around would be like getting the albatross off our inner Ancient Mariner! I do so yearn for a simple answer to these and so many things.
We don't interact often, Carole, but when we do, I come away feeling blessed - exactly as you have said before:-
Maybe, in the end, it’s much more about the people we truly impact than “business.” Maybe making someone’s day is much more valuable.
I shall never forget your story of the Swimsuit manufacturers....
"Feng Shui is not just furniture placement"...Anyone reading more that 3 sentences of any of your blogs will know that it is so much more! I just bought a book called "Feng Shui Beauty" , relating the elements to each persons routine, and colors like the old books from the 80's about "seasons". I'll admit, I am a bit skeptical, but it was on clearance, and intrigued me. As for auras, a person doesn't even need to be able to "see" them, before they can "SEE" them. There are a few people I know, that I just want to bask in the warm glow around them...
Carole--Your writing inspires me to learn more about Feng Shui. Each time I read one of your posts I am intrigued. Have you considered doing webinars on the topic?
Carole...What a beautiful art that must be to learn of mind body and spirt
David, You are so wise and knowedable...are you sure you're not a Feng Shui Consultant?
Marzena, She is definitely an inspiration. I am familiar with Hay House radio and thank you for adding the link for those that aren't.
Bill, Some people can actually "read" them which can be so helpful in a diagnosis.
Lizette, It's something I don't think we think of often...If it's our Energy Field, it needs to release.
Craig, I love your idea but these are all individual, suited for one person at a time. And THAT would be impossible on here :)!
Jackie, I wish it could be done that way....but it is highly indivualized just for each client.
Jo, I have read many of his books and Dr. Dwyer as well...they are full of inspiration and speak of a Mind, Body, Spirit approach to healing.
Hi Juliette, I am an advocate of trying many things on your own....this isn't one of them. Different people need concentrations in different areas so we don't just "shift" the Energy, we actually help release it. This isn't something I'd recommend doing on your own but rather by someone who has been schooled in the art.
Cheryl, I bought Billy Yamaguchi's book when it first came out. Having been a licensed cosmetologist, it made sense to me. I actually did this for a few years for clients and loved it but it became impossible to rent chair space for those that wanted it. I did love doing the "make-overs" although I did them a bit differently then in the book.
Mary, I was scheduled to do a Podcast years ago but could never set it up :( I don't know how to do webinars but if it's in my future, I'm sure I'll learn :)
Hannah, We find it much more helpful to approach it ALL...So many people think Feng Shui is "just" furniture placement when there are so many levels!
Hi Carole, Great article. I go once a week to see a massage therapist. She has been great in helping me with with some neck and shoulder issues that I have. I have also learned so much from her about healing and negative energy that we can accumulate over the years.
From the desk of David Dee,
Carole, thanks for the kind comment. :D While growing up, I listened to my relatives who know a thing or two about Feng Shui and that is how I picked it up. Feng Shui is an art like no others. It can do wonders in altering not just the emotional and physical but also the spiritual sensations in one's lives.
It's gratifying to see you addressing other lesser known aspects of setting a space. Afterall, people are a part of that space as well! We should all have our aura cleared and released of negativity from time to time. It's like a thorough deep cleaning. If I were on the east coast, I'd come see ya!
