FENG SHUI: Did you Realize YOU are using it Every Day?
Feng Shui. Still a mystery to many, still misunderstood and most of you, whether you realize it or not, are using Major Principles of Feng Shui EVERY SINGLE DAY.
How is that possible? You don't know enough about it to Incorporate it. Let's review some of the Major Principles of Feng Shui:
Getting Your Name out to the Universe: Whether you do it with INTENTION A New York Feng Shui Consultant--And some FAME or you are giving out business cards, devising a new marketing plan, having an open house or doing ANY type of advertising you can think of---YOU are getting your NAME out there! Think of it: EVERY time you hit SUBMIT on Activerain, YOU are "Getting Your Name Out to the Universe."
In reading other posts I notice here what you call "Paying It Forward." We acknowledge others in Links and posts for a kindness they have done or something we feel is important. Activerain put a Feng Shui Principle into effect when they added the Re=Blog Feature. We see a post we LOVE and want to share it---and the wonderful person who wrote it. We RE-Blog it and "Pay it Forward."
Realtors and Home Stagers: Every SINGLE time you advise your clients OPEN the BLINDS or WINDOWS, they are "Letting the OUTSIDE IN." This is important to keep a balance of the Yin/Yang Theory of balance. It relates to our lives and it's a big Feng Shui Principle.
In Feng Shui Thoughts we are Acknowledging HELPFUL PEOPLE. These wonderful people who come into our lives and reach out with a kind word, thought or deed. They have taken time to help us and we need to remember to acknowledge them for it.
One SURE thing about Helpful People in Feng Shui:: IF YOU STOP ACKNOWLEDING THEM, THEY WILL STOP COMING. These are people you always want in your life!
With that thought in mind, there are some VERY SPECIAL people who have helped me in my home issues; an Acknowledgment is in order:
Carol Gordon of Advanced Restoration. Talk about COMPASSION. Carol went well above and beyond her "job duties" in assessing my home. When I was SURE I had something going on downstairs and in spite of the fact that I had already had TWO companies come to my home, it was Carol that discovered the mold.
It was also Carol that did everything she could to protect me and my health during the remediation process. Carol came by each and every time I called her. She is not only a true professional, she has got to be one of the kindest people I have ever met.
Lisa Arato, Real Estate Agent Extraordinaire: Lisa has just joined our Activerain family! She has been my friend and one of the BEST realtors I have met on Long Island. Lisa will help anyone with that huge heart of hers. She also knows both Home Staging AND Feng Shui. Newsday did an article about a Real Estate Agent that USES Feng Shui-and Lisa was featured! Lisa works with Century 21 American Homes.
Gary Maksym: My Home Inspector. Poor Gary. I don't know how many times I've called him. He or his lovely wife NEVER get annoyed and he has also dealt with the various contractors I've had to take the time and speak to them about his findings and recommendations to fix my home. A recent example: I want to go HOME but need to be absolutely CERTAIN my home is fine. I called Gary once again-and he came the NEXT DAY! If I ever moved, I'd fly him in if I had to. Gary's business is Residential Property and Home Inspections. Massapequa, NY A Maximum Home Inspection and he is located right here in Massapequa Long Island New York.
Who have YOU acknowledged recently? I see it every day here in Activerain and you're ALL employing Feng Shui Principles. Bet you didn't even know it!

What great insight...yes, we do practice the basics, don't we? I'm sorry to hear about you mold issues but am glad that you have such great friends and professionals surrounding you that have helped you get through it. On a different topic, would you mind emailing me your address as I wanted to send you a card and can only find email. Thanks!
Hi Carole-I missed 2 of your posts before this one. I just read all three. Awesome! I really never thought about Feng Shui before in the different ways you are talking about. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise. I really like Feng Shui and YOU. You are a smart lady with a determined attitude. I like that. I'm glad they found your mold problem. That can cause serious health problems. Take care of yourself my friend. Happy Holidays ;-)
Hi Carol a very nice explanation of how FENG SHUI is all around us and we didn't even know it:)
I love the idea of paying it forward. And how Feng Shui relates to the rest of our lives. If I have any referrals to give to Long Island realtors, I'll be sure to call Lisa- and you of course!
Thanks for being such a great help here on Active Rain, and a new good friend to me this year!
Carole, you continue to make the principles of feng shui so easy to understand and apply to our own lives! I have never thought about the marketing things we do from that angle...now I'll be thinking of you each time :)
Diane, You all do it and don't even realize it. We have some pretty good principles--just thought of sometimes in a different way.
Pat, I've been posting often lately....And you can only make so many comments. I try hard to keep up but never seem to make it :)
Bill, It sure is--now some will know and remember it I hope.
Linda, You're a wonderful friend as well. Next year we can all Get our name Out to the Universe even more :)
Lisa, That's a sweet thing to say. Your name is all over, you're certainly using Feng Shui Principles.
So we are already doing what naturally wants to be done? this is very reassuting...that our natural inclination is towards Love and Balance and Joy.
As so often happens when something feels good and right it usually is. The principles you have shared over my brief time here generally feel that way. I will think you whenever I note the evergreen I planted in the back left corner of my yard thanks to one of your posts.
Carole, Thanks for the great tips. I always enjoy your posts as I have great interest in Feng Shui.
Carole - I love learning more about feng shui , very cool, I had no idea how much I use (probably could do a little more) in my life
Very nice post about how feng shui is all around us. It is only a matter of educating ourselves and using it more and more in our lives.
Acknowledgement is truly a gift..........and one that perhaps most of us don't give often enough......I know I make a conscious effort to do so........but no doubt there are some that I miss.........
Hi Carole...One thing I try and do is send a personal note or email to just say hi, thanks or I enjoyed talking with you today. It takes effort to do it, and you fell good when you do.
Cheers, thanks for sharing with us.
MERRY CHRISTMAS :O)
