Clearing Your Aura with Feng Shui: Thoughts from a New York City Manhattan Feng Shui Consultant

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.

A HEARTBREAKING Email....You Would have done the Same Thing: Wantagh Long Island New York

A Heartbreaking Email -- You Would Have Done the Same…Wantagh Long Island New York

Excuse me for not getting back to as many people as I would have liked today. I usually put in 30 to 40 comments per day….and today, I had other things on my mind.

I received an email late last night it kept me up. I spent a large part of today sending as many pictures as I could find of Wantagh Long Island New York to this person…And I have many.

When he wrote me back, saying he had tears in his eyes and a special request, I knew I couldn’t turn that down, either. You’ll see the absolute emotion in this email and along with the follow up came a special request which I hope to be able to do tomorrow:

“Thank you very much for those wonderful pictures of Wantagh that you posted on the internet. I live in Florida, and because of illness, and injuries[due to my employment in the NYC Fire Department](as well as economics) I have not seen or smelled home for over nine years. The pictures that you posted have once more brought to life the wonderful memories of the Wantagh that inspired my youthful life with bike rides to Wantagh Park for lazy Saturdays of fishing, the smells of spring that always promised future days of endless summers playing hide-go-seek, ring-a leavio, climbing trees, adventures in the "woods" that proudly hug the Southern State Parkway. Gentle memories of Wantagh that once again ruffle their flag of hope for another beautiful tomorrow caressed by my memories of home. Thank you again for adding another 100 years to my life. “

It was signed with his full name and address and where he went to High School which happens to be my old High School. He graduated a year after I did although I didn’t know him.

I’m not sure which post he found as I’ve posted so many on both Levittown NY and Wantagh NY but I can so identify with the feeling. Those of us that grew up here will never forget it; it’s part of us. I went through my collection of photos both old and new of both towns and spent a large part of my day emailing photos…..and receiving a joyful, heartfelt response.

I had work to do but it didn’t get done….tomorrow is another day. He asked me a special favor and I will do that as soon as possible. He asked me if I would be kind enough to go to his old home and take some pictures for him. He gave me the exact address and directions but I know exactly where it is….I have a still dear friend who lived on that very block.

So, I missed some work…and makiing many comments…and the gratitude behind these emails touched me in a way nothing has in a long time. It’s not ALWAYS work, is it? It’s the little differences we can make in a life…and a bit of joy!

Just one of SO many pictures of Wantagh Long Island New York.

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.

Wantagh Long Island New York….This is for you, Mr. S: Perhaps you made MY day!

Manhattan New York City Feng Shui for the Tri State Area...We're GROWING from Activerain!

Tue, 09 Mar 2010 18:30:11 -0600

Manhattan New YorkCity Feng Shui for The Tri StateArea-We're GROWING from Activerain!

Starting out on Long Island New Yorkas a Feng Shui Practitioner 14 years ago, it was almost impossible to imagine what would happen to this Business of Feng Shui that almost no one had ever heard of.

Fast forward to today...Both Feng Shui Long Islandand Feng Shui Manhattan New York now work in many places in the Tri State Area including parts of New Jersey, Connecticut and New England. When Laura and I can work together, not only do our clients benefit from a combination of 23 years of Experience, we have FUN and in turn so do our wonderful Feng Shui Clients.

It wasn't surprising then to get a call from New Jersey....someone who has been following our Activerain blogs and made the decision they wanted to work with us...or one of us. She felt comfortable either way.

The New York Warterway that brought NY Feng Shui consultants to New Jersey

Another new adventure in Feng Shui Consulting was getting to take The New York Waterway Ferry across to New Jersey, literally a Six Minute Ride. Getting to see New York City from another vantage across the Hudson River was also breathtaking.

Our Feng Shui client was just moving into a new Condo that she loved and wanted help with Color Consultations and the Arrangement of her furniture. Working closely with her to determine HER favorite colors as well as what colors would be supportive to her environment from a Feng Shui Perspective; we were able to help create a space she would LOVE coming home to every day.

Another lovely Feng Shui Consultation and another wonderful adventure. She was so happy with her consultations we received an email the following day thanking us and telling us she would be referring us in the future.

We are awaiting the changes that will occur in her life from this Feng Shui Consultation and will update this post as they occur!

*Due to the personal nature of her Feng Shui Consultation, she preferred we did not post any pictures of her lovely new space....but these are her lovely views of the Manhattan New York Skyline which are used with permission.

Feng Shui and Children...New York Education for Schools and Parents by Feng Shui Long Island & New York

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 21:52:52 -0600

Feng Shui and Children: New York Education for Schools and Parents....Teach them Inspiration, Not Despair by Feng Shui Long Island NY Consultant.

As I watched my own children growing up and go through all the phases that children do, I wasn't practicing Feng Shui back then. And although I'd heard and read about "The Law of Attraction" I'm not quite sure it had set in yet.

Laura Cerrano of Feng Shui Manhattan has a special passion to work with Children of all ages. Her background in Teaching and her knowledge of Feng Shui gives help to inspire Children and show them of perceiving the challenges of life and believing in themselves. The younger the child, the easier it is to turn a "negative" thought into a "positive" one.

Laura Cerrano of Feng Shui Manhattan New York educating children in Long Island New York schools.

When you notice your child, at any age, stuck or in doubt about whether or not they can accomplish something, encourage them. Sometimes you have to give them the "worst case scenario" to make them see that there are no FAILURES, only things we haven't attempted because of our fears.

This is probably the most difficult part of Feng Shui for Children and for Adults. Being mindful to turn each and every thought into a positive one. It is probably the one our client's struggle with the most but once they get past it, they often start to see it happens on it's own.

The most powerful role models in children's lives are their parents and authority figures, which include teachers. When they see you happy and hopeful, it is what you will project to them. Children have an uncanny intuition and even at a young age are likely to feel them on some level. Do your best and Don't allow them to catch your doubts and fears.

NY Feng Shui Consultant and Art Educator inspiring and guiding young students through the steps of painting in a Long Island NY Art classroom

I was speaking to someone today who I liked very much. She had her own issues with life....and some of the many people in it. I encouraged her to try and forgive those that she held grudges against which were very difficult for her. I tried to explain that you do that more for yourself, NOT for another person. It releases you....and them.

And I reminded her of her children as well. Both are still in the "formative" years and instead of waking up and dreading each day going to school, to try to help them focus on waking up and seeing a new "Adventure." Life is full of them and we need not miss them.

Laura has begun to work with Children from all walks of life. They include children who are "labeled" as ADD, OCD, ADHD, Learning Disabled and who are truly gifted and talented in one area or another. Laura understands some of these children will confront massive challenges in school and life. She knows the capability and with the positive motivation, inspiration, support and education, these individuals can truly accomplish their dreams.

Students being taught by Art Educator and New York Feng Shui Consultant Laura Cerrano in a Long Island NY School District.

For Children and years before "The Secret" spoke of the "Vision Board," in Feng Shui we spoke and used an "Accomplishment Board" for Children. It is theirs to fill with things that make them feel good and it should be changed often. I often see Children hang their favorite piece of artwork or something they envision themselves becoming in the future....which changes as they grow and change.

Whether your child is 3 or 15, have them give it a try. It is something we suggest to Children to show them All they have done and ALL they can become.

New York City Feng Shui Consultations and ART in Chelsea Manhattan New York, NY

Part of being a Feng Shui Consultant in New York City is the surprise of always seeing fascinating things you have never seen before.

As you truly get to explore all the neighborhoods in New York City on your way to a Feng Shui Consultation it is well advised to keep your eyes open!

Laura Cerrano of Feng Shui Manhattan NY and I got back today from one of our Feng Shui Consultations located in the area of New York City known as Chelsea NY. As not only a Manhattan Feng Shui Consultant but as an artist, Laura was fascinated to be able to stop and see some amazing sites of Artwork….Street Art and Galleries and Studios.

Chelsea ( also know known as Manhattan West) is now (having overtaken SoHo) the largest Art Center in New York City today. It houses over 370 Art Galleries and Studios. After the Feng Shui Consultation in a small Studio in Chelsea, we had time to explore the area and some of the incredible art.

Feng Shui in Holbrook Long Island New York: The Care and "Feeding" of the Mouth of Chi

Sat, 06 Mar 2010 05:45:21 -0600

Feng Shui in Holbrook Long Island NY -- The Care and “Feeding” of The Mouth of Chi

In Feng Shui by now many of us realize the importance of The Front Door. Often called “The Mouth of Chi” it is the one place that truly allows all the new, fresh Energy to flow into our Space every day.

This lovely home is located in Suffolk County Long Island New York in the lovely town of Holbrook. Whether you’re looking at Curb Appeal in Home Staging or seeing this Holbrook Long Island Home through “Feng Shui Eyes” you can see a lot of thought and good Energy has gone into making The Front Door and the exterior created to entice good Energy to enter easily.

Straight pathways leading directly to the home can ‘rush’ the Energy in a bit too quickly. Energy flows through a space, inside or out, and here they have not addressed just a straight path into their home.

Although the Meaning of the Red Door is different for many, in Feng Shui RED is the Auspicious Color….it ATTRACTS good Energy. Another note of this Feng Shui Exterior in Holbrook Long Island Home is that when we remember the ‘Form’ School of Feng Shui, we know that the Element of Water helps to grace Energy into a Space.

In Feng Shui we also don’t like sharp edges. They can cause what Feng Shui Consultants call ‘cutting chi’ or ‘cutting sha’ Energy. Great care has been taken to keep the outdoor Round. Two Ducks? This family is addressing Partnerships……

And although difficult to see, many New York Feng Shui Consultants advise to put the word “Welcome” on the Front Door to Welcome in the Energy.

This home in Holbrook Long Island New York was a lovely find to pull up to for a Feng Shui Consultation. Holbrook is located between the Towns of Islip and Brookhaven Long Island New York and boasts one of my favorite restaurants: Mamma Lombardi's - Long Island Italian Restaurant

The Feng Shui "Feel Good" Bedroom in Holtsville Long Island New York Home

There are some spaces that you walk into that immediately make you feel GOOD. Laura and I both felt this way when entering this lovely Bedroom in a Home on Long Island New York in the town of Holtsville.

If you think it belongs to a teenager, you're wrong. It belonged to my client's mother (now a proud Great Grandmother) and as you can see, she has surrounded herself with things that make HER feel good.

She loves Angels and Fairy's and has them all over. She also has a balance in the room with two night stands on her bed and plenty of light. I believe most importantly, she has used her favorite colors in the room....Beautiful shades of Lavender and Purple surround her every time she's in her own ‘Sacred Space.'

We have "Feng Shui Rules" and we follow them. There is nothing under the bed and no sleeping issues and the corners were addressed so Energy could not get stuck and pool in there.

The ONLY suggestion we had was that she cover her TV at night just by draping something over it. Mirrors or reflective surfaces must be very carefully placed if they are in the bedroom at all.

Feng Shui Holtsville Long Island NY Bedroom....The "Feel Good" Room.

It's so nice to find such a lovely space with someone who adorns her bedroom with things and colors that she loves in this new home in Holtsville Long Island NY.

*Feng Shui Tip: Check YOUR surroundings and check them frequently. As WE change, sometimes the things that once made us feel good change as well...Don't leave them up because of habit.

A Feng Shui Consultant on Long Island NY..Part Two, 1997 by Feng Shui Long Island and New York

Mon, 01 Mar 2010 16:29:04 -0600

A Feng Shui Consultant on Long Island NY…Part Two, 1997 by Feng Shui Long Island and New York

I’d done it. I’d completed my Feng Shui Certification Classes and all the extra ones I had signed up for and I was ready to work. Unfortunately, back in 1997 almost no one knew what Feng Shui WAS….or worse, they had terrible misconceptions of it.

With a Long Island NY home and two children to support, I went back to my “old” life. I began to adapt Feng Shui Principles in my home and in my office and soon felt a profound difference in my life.

Feng Shui Principles are closely related to “The Secret” and the “Law of Attraction” and I wanted MORE. I noticed my attitude beginning to change to being able to focus on the positive and thought about a Website. I the early years of websites my designer said: “Let me be CLEAR, a Website won’t BRING you business but it will help you look more professional." But I was moving forward.

And Transformations were taking place.

No one could have seen the future. Eventually my attitude and way of seeing things through what we call “Feng Shui Eyes” began to affect the Children and I saw positive changes in them as well. I worked, word spread and finally I decided to try my hand at writing articles.

Back then in the world of Feng Shui, that may have been my “turning point.” People found them and read them with interest. I recall dragging Laura at the age of 16 to a Feng Shui Consultation on Long Island with me and she immediately became even more focused. Soon she looked forward to going and meeting the wonderful clients and I’d be able to share all the wonderful updates they sent me or called me with.

Finally, I took the “leap.” I felt as if I were diving into a sea of darkness not knowing what was to come but I quit my secure job and began to do Feng Shui full time. Despite it’s struggles in the early years, I have never looked back. Laura went on to study with other Mentors (some of the same ones I had myself) and accompanied me to my Feng Shui Consultations which expanded to New York City Feng Shui, Queens NY and Brooklyn NY. We even do Feng Shui in Provincetown, MA in the Spring and Summer!

Feng Shui in Provincetown and Cape Cod Massachusetts.

Referrals came and so did speaking engagements for Feng Shui. I often tell Laura Cerrano of Feng Shui Manhattan New York that I helped put Feng Shui on the map….she’s the one who can use all her knowledge to help others (and she does!).

Not believing in yourself or not following your passions are, to me, the ultimate waste of Energy; you will always wonder where you MIGHT have gone. I no longer have to wonder, I have helped spread the word about Feng Shui and many of you have been a part of that journey! The wonderful people that read me, subscribe to me, comment for me and, of course, this wonderful platform for writing from the heart have inspired me to keep hoping to inspire YOU : )

Watch Out! Wild Turkeys on Long Island New York...Cold Spring Harbor New York

Sun, 28 Feb 2010 22:18:06 -0600

Fresh turkey anyone? After a Feng Shui consultation in Cold Spring Harbor Long Island NY Laura Cerrano of Feng Shui Manhattan New York and I came across a group of Wild Turkeys. I have to say, they were very cute. I'm also not at ALL sure I want to eat them at Thanksgiving anymore. Animals in Feng Shui are pure FIRE Energy!

I would like to share a short History about our friendly Long Island Turkeys; well if you consider pecking your car friendly. During the 19th Century on Long Island, turkeys were hunted to near extinction. In 1992 a gentlemen by the name of Mark Lowery helped reintroduce turkeys back to Eastern Long Island NY. Today our fine feathered friends are thriving. If your looking for some really good tasting turkey, Laura and I suggest trying Zorn's in Bethpage Long Island NY..this is a Long Island Landmark that has been around since 1940.

What Has Some New York Feng Shui Consultants Seeing RED?? BY Feng Shui Long Island and New York

Sun, 28 Feb 2010 18:52:45 -0600

What Has Some New York Feng Shui Consultants Seeing RED?? BY Feng Shui Long Island and New York

Feng Shui. It brings to mind peace, harmony, balance and creating a space that's perfect to support you and your dreams and ambitions. Laura Cerrano and I set off for a Feng Shui Consultation in Huntington Village Long Island, NY, one of my favorite places to go.

The Feng Shui Clients on Long Island had told us about Spirit Activity....nothing we aren't used to dealing with and said it affected her teenage son. He couldn't seem to focus, she said and found objects "moving" in his room.

Upon entering what we thought to be a lovely home in Huntington Village, one of the first things we noticed was the Front Door. It "bumped....or hit" into another door. In Feng Shui, doors are called the Voices. When they hit, bump or knock there is a remedy which we mentioned to our Feng Shui Client.

She wasn't interested except to comment that everyone in the home was ALWAYS fighting. We asked her to take notes or we would provide a written report if she'd like after the Feng Shui Consultation.....she declined both.

Feng Shui Long Island in Huntington Village Long Island New York

I don't know WHY people call us for ADVICE when they are resistant to ANYTHING you have to say. Our main focus since her time was limited was on addressing the Activity in her son's room. Laura and I have often seen, felt and heard things in homes all over Long Island and New York City but nothing like this room.

It began to get COLD...icy cold as we discussed the events and sightings this young man had been going through. He claimed he couldn't sleep and reported seeing "black" objects floating around his room. Obviously, something was wrong because in short order the entire house became cold.

Space Clearings and Blessings in Feng Shui are wonderful. They are gentile in nature in having Spirits "move on" when they are stuck for one reason or another. Having studied a good deal of parapsychology in my past, this felt to be evil, and something we rarely come across.

During our conversation, both the man and his mother changed their mind. They've gotten rather used to this "Ghost" they say and DON'T WANT IT TO LEAVE. WHAT?????????

We try to explain that this isn't just lovely "Aunt Bessie" who has crossed to the other side in what was her old Huntington Village New York home, this had the tendencies to be a force they don't want to reckon with. We ask AGAIN about the Space Clearings...

We are told a resounding NO. After all, they reason, it's been around a while and nothing really AWFUL has happened (so far!). In any event, we try to explain that just as people have missions here, so do entities need to move on to fulfill theirs. Nothing was getting through. They'd decided to keep their Ghost...(and, I presume, continue to worry about her son).

Feng Shui can help with MANY things including spirit activity AND arguments....IF you allow it. We were politely shown the front door. "The Ghost Stays" we are told.

PLEASE don't call a Feng Shui Consultant and refuse advice! It frustrates us and is a total waste of our time and energy. I don't know WHY people call for advice and refuse to take it? And I certainly don't understand why you'd become so attached to a Spirit that you wouldn't want to let go.

But that's just OUR views. We left with mutual headaches and used every Feng Shui Blessing we knew prior to coming back to our lovely Long Island New York home....

**We are taught to be careful in Feng Shui and Spirit Energy....they CAN attach to you! Fortunately we are taught how to stop this from happening.

IT FELT SO GOOD TO GET HOME FILLED WITH GOOD FENG SHUI!

SO, Now You're a CERTIFIED Feng Shui Consultant! by Feng Shui Long Island & New York

Sat, 27 Feb 2010 22:35:10 -0600

So, Now You're a Certified Feng Shui Consultant! By Feng Shui Long Island & New York

I remember so well attending the very first Certification Classes in Feng Shui Studies way back in 1996 by the very first school that was Licensed and Accredited to offer them. And I reflect today on just how many things have changed.

In 1996 we were afforded the Real Masters of Feng Shui from a variety of different schools of methods of Feng Shui. Our graduating class came from across the County with only 3 of us actually living in New York where the course was being held.

Inside the Very Beautiful Monestary by HHH Professor Lin Yun, Old Westbury Long Island New York.

In between classes on Special Weekend Intensives we had the further opportunity to study with even MORE of the best mentors from across the world, flown in to teach, reach and inspire us all in their different and very unique ways.

We learned The Black Sect Method, The Compass Method, Western Methods and The Form School. We studied the I Ching and were able to attend certain extra classes on incredible Space Clearings and Blessings. There were 33 students and, unfortunately, many never went on to actually work at the career they loved.

At the Lin Yun Monestary in 1997, graduation Day!

We had to learn floor plans and submit them and find our own projects which were critiqued carefully by our Mentors. We were taken out into "the field" to first see how Feng Shui Consultations were performed and then try to evaluate the homes and businesses ourselves from a Feng Shui Perspective and incorporate changes we believed should be made.....and WHY. We were taught about Intention, Mindfulness and NonJudgment and we were taught that our purpose was to help others and inspire them.

Classes for Feng Shui Certifications now are offered online in some cases. You read a book or two and you get a Certificate in the Mail. Some of the Feng Shui Schools still adhere to a rigid schedule but a large amount of that is now the ever important, ever present "Marketing." I agree how important that is but I have to ask, are they getting LESS Feng Shui?

The day finally came. 33 Hopeful Feng Shui Consultant Graduates and our Graduation was held at the Lin Yun Monastery in Old Westbury Long Island New York. That in itself was a thrill. We were not told that day that his High Holiness Professor Lin Yun was flying in to speak to the first group of Feng Shui Consultants in the County and give is a special blessing.

Receiving a Special Blessing at my 10 Year Anniversary of becoming a Certified Feng Shui Consultant ....HHH Professor Lin Yun 2007.

And then, it was over. My fellow graduates flew back home to their own homes and we were "cut loose." No marketing at all. Some of us returned to our old jobs and practiced on weekends.

It's time, I thought, to try to get the word of Feng Shui out there....but How?

Some Interesting Information About Long Island New York by Feng Shui Long Island

Some Interesting Information About Long Island New York by Feng Shui Long Island

While speaking recently to a friend from Activerain, she asked me a question in response to something about Long Island. She wasn't aware that Long Island NY really IS an Island, she thought it was just the name of the place where I lived all my life.

As a Feng Shui Consultant who gets to travel through all the different Towns and Villages of Long Island NY, I thought I'd share some interesting information about it.

Long Island really is an Island! As a matter of fact, it is the longest and largest Island in the Continental US. It stretches 118 miles long from the New York Harbor but only has a maximum North-South stretch of 23 miles. Long before the days of GPS'S I was actually able to find my way around-or to say that if I went the wrong way, I knew I would eventually hit Water! This helped as a Feng Shui Consultant who travels all over Lovely Long Island.

Long Island's total square feet is 1401 square miles, just smaller than the State of Rhode Island. It encompasses two Counties, Nassau County NY and Suffolk County NY.

Nassau County New York is the 3^rd Richest per Capita in the United States-and has the 2^nd Highest Property Taxes in the US (WHY am I here....someone remind me : )

First inhabited by Native American Tribes we have only two Reservations remaining....The Poospatica Reservation and The Shinnecock Reservation.

The battle of Long Island was the longest battle on American Soil during the Revolutionary War (and people wonder why there is so much "spirit" activity?).

Oh, Meet "Bucky." I didn't name him but I DID fall in love with him at a Shinnecock Reservation. He's handmade and the wonderful Native American who sold him gave me a lower price then marked....he said he knew he was going to a Good Home ::)

The TRUTH of Feng Shui: Thoughts from a New York City Feng Shui Consultant

Fri, 26 Feb 2010 20:33:18 -0600

The TRUTH About Feng Shui: What A New York Feng Shui Consultation can REALLY Tell You!

There is an Element in Feng Shui that is not often discussed. I don’t mean an “Element” such as one of the Five Elements that we use to address Feng Shui Principles, I mean something rarely discussed with clients prior to a Feng Shui Consultation.

Often times Laura Cerrano of Feng Shui Manhattan New York and I will get calls from a prospective Feng Shui Client who wants to discuss “moving their furniture” for Feng Shui Results. While that is certainly a PART of Feng Shui as we seek to open Energy Blockages, it is only one level of Feng Shui.

Feng Shui has so many levels that it’s difficult to imagine. We can see hundreds of people that have money issues, for example, and as we speak to them we realize they can be caused by so many different things that don’t just relate to the “Wealth” Corner of your home.

If you’re looking for a Feng Shui Consultation in New York

or anywhere else, please keep this in mind: The very FIRST thing a Good Feng Shui Consultation will do is bring up things that are “hidden.” Simply put, Feng Shui brings out the TRUTH.

Ok, now what is this rambling New York Feng Shui Consultant speaking of? I’m going to give you two recent examples of client’s who thought we were just doing a design or re-design with Feng Shui Principles and found out the TRUE issues they needed to face.

I met a wonderful man in the lovely town on Long Island of The Hampton Bays NY. He did a very specialized form of work and had been laid off from his previous job well over two years ago. He was seeking a Feng Shui Consultation in the Hamptons NY to help address his career.

We focused on Career and the other areas of his life and told him to remember to look into ALL opportunities that came his way, even if the job didn’t seem at first suited for him. He did get a contact for a position but it was nothing he would have normally looked into.

Opportunities come our way for a REASON. Look into them before you turn them down!

He did and found with the benefits and “perks” it would be an IDEAL job for him. He was thrilled and quite honestly, so were we. He decided to get some tests out of the way so he wouldn’t have to take time off from this fabulous job and it was discovered he had Stage one prostate cancer.

Of course he was horrified but they caught it very early. Later on when he looked back on the Feng Shui Consultation he had gotten he told us that he had no intention of going to the doctor….he credited finding the job and the Feng Shui Consultation with saving his life because they caught it so early.

We recently did another client in Nassau County NY for a Feng Shui Consultation. Most importantly to her, she wanted to strengthen her relationship with her husband. She confided that he was distant, had been out a lot lately and she feared he was being unfaithful. Of course we addressed her home and her bedroom in particular and shortly thereafter she emailed me that he began staying home more---he loved the feel of the “new” bedroom we had created. And he started to open up more.

About two weeks after the Feng Shui Consultation on Long Island NY she called me. She told me that her husband had confided to her that he’d been very unhappy lately and had begun to see a therapist a few weeks ago. She was NOT the cause of the unhappiness but it accounted for his hours away from home and the distance he had created.

She was surprised that he hadn’t told her but could now help him through a difficult time. She also knew he was completely faithful and was so happy to hear that.

So, does this happen every time we do a Feng Shui Consultation for someone in or out of New York? Absolutely not….but it DOES happen and it should be spoken about. How can you get the best results from Feng Shui when you don’t know what you’re dealing with?

Feng Shui is not just “The Mindful Art of Placement.” It is levels and years of learning to address the REAL issues to get the Truths to surface.

A Long Island New York Feng Shui Home with REAL ART! Nassau County Feng Shui...

A Long Island New York Feng Shui Home with REAL ART! Nassau County NY Feng Shui Homes

Long Island New York is typically remembered in many of its towns in Nassau County and Suffolk County for its "cookie cutter" homes. While many of the homes here on Long Island were built in the same fashion they have mostly all be remodeled and now they all look quite different.

While coming home from a recent Feng Shui Consultation in Nassau County New York, I realized I was not far from an old friend's house that now lives in Arizona. I thought he would love a snapshot of his old home to bring back some lovely memories.

Leaving an Imprint....And a Legacy.

While driving through the neighborhood, Laura and I spotted a home that was one of the most ARTFUL homes on Long Island I have ever seen. We were enthralled and stopped to take a few shots. Finally Laura asked me if I thought the Artwork was done not only to make his home outstanding from the others but if I thought he had addressed Feng Shui Principles in it.

As I looked at the Artwork outside the Home on Lovely Long Island, I had to agree with her. One thing we both noticed was that he had been careful to address the Elements of Feng Shui. We saw Feng Shui Elements addressed not only by the materials he used but also in the Shapes he chose.

And a Yin/Yang Symbol right near the Front Door (The Mouth of Chi in Feng Shui) was the final giveaway. I thought for a few minutes just how far Feng Shui has come in the well over a decade that I have been using it. Back in the day when absolutely NO ONE knew what it was or could even pronounce it (It's pronounced FUNG SCHWAY).

Finally, people know about it and they know it works. At least I believe this ARTIST did!

Making your HOME your own in Feng Shui!

A TRUE Feng Shui Home on Long Island New York.
