It is not worth skipping steps to reach your goals by Feng NY consultant

This story is for all professionals, because most likely we all have dealt with this type of situation, whether in Real Estate, Staging a home, any where. Here is Feng Shui Advice for those looking to have a Feng Shui consultation for their home or business. It is not worth skipping steps to reach your goal.  Feng Shui consultants can not stress enough to potential clients that when seeking a Feng Shui consultation, you need to make sure you are not:

• In a rush
• Concerned with time
• Unwilling to take suggestions and at least try what your consultant advises
• Having a Feng Shui consultation with a "un-clear" mind, which usually happens after a very traumatic event

            - you need time to heal and allow your body, mind and spirit to settle and re-adjust

Please, please, please listen.......I know it is a lot of reading but this is important

A potential client wanted a Feng Shui consultation for the office.  She said, "I just want you to come in, tell me where to place objects and I'll pay you for the time". Sounds simple enough but, there is much more to Feng Shui then just "furniture placement".

I said, "well, please understand Feng Shui has a much deeper meaning, you need to understand why your making changes and what it is that you intend to bring into your life". I proceeded to educate her a little on the history because there are so many misconceptions of what Feng Shui is and how is can be utilized to enhance your way of living.  Unfortunately for this potential client, she was not interested in listening or wanting to understand the History or principles of Feng Shui. 

She asked next, how do your consultations work? I answered, First and foremost we always educate our clients, so that when suggestions are made, you completely understand why and will have the opportunity to make changes on your own. She replied, "I already know all about Feng Shui, I don't need that".  I said, "ok that is fine, are you familiar with the Bagua, the red envelope tradition or Western Methods?  She did not recognize any of them.

Knowledge is power and education is key when you wish to accomplish your goals, skipping this step will do you no good

Then she says, "When can you come to my office and what time"?  We discussed a day and I explained, "we consult between 9am-2pm the latest, because the space clearings are strongest between those times.  She disagreed with me on that too, " I do not want a space clearing, we do our own".  I said, "ok, I will leave the Feng Shui space clearing out of your consultation but, I strongly advice that you preform your own". The replied, "we have no time for that, renovations will begin right away." In Feng Shui, this is even more reason to have a Space Clearing. This will assure a good transition and allow you to give thanks to the original space for years of success. 

Space Clearings need to be preformed after a Feng Shui consultation to complete the session, or before a renovation and a new construction, to assure the best results possible and to clear out any "negative" energy.

If you are rushing your Feng Shui consultation and consultant, you will not receive the best possible results. Your energy and intentions need to be 100% focused. What you put in, is what you get back. 

The ending to this story is about traditions.  One of the Feng Shui traditions before preforming a consultation is to have your client pre-pare Red Envelopes.  I explain to this clients what the tradition represents and how to pre-pare them, again I received resistance.  She says, " no, I do not have time, I don't want to buy red envelopes ...etc.." I replied, "this is very important for the both of us and needs to be completed (explaining why)." She kept saying, "no I will not pre-pare them", so finally I had to let her go because clearly there was no connection between us and it would not benefit her or her consultation. 

Both parties need to respect each others traditions. Your Feng Shui consultant will do their best to work with you but, if you are unwilling to respect their traditions, it is not a good match and it is better that you seek a Feng Shui consultant who will best meet your needs.

Good Luck and Many Blessings! :)
