Feng Shui Your Office

Here are a couple of Feng Shui tips for the office.

Although the name may be unfamiliar to some of us in North America, feng shui (pronounced fung schway) has actually been an important part of Chinese culture for over 3,000 years.
In essence, feng shui is the ancient art of placement and design that’s used to balance and enhance the flow of energy in living environments. Feng shui experts believe that by creating harmony and balance in your physical environment, you’ll attract good luck and prosperity in all areas of your life.

So what does this have to do with the office? By following this age-old practice, you could improve your productivity and career prospects as well as enhance your success, creativity and wealth.
If you Work at Home:
Energy enters from the front door, so you should set up your home office in the front of the house to take advantage of the energy flow. Once energy enters the house, it always flows upwards. This means it’s preferable to be on the entry level or higher instead of in the basement. If your home office is in your bedroom, hide the office area with a screen at night so that you don’t mix energies when you move from work to sleep. If your home office doesn’t have a window, brighten up the room with yellow paint, bright lights and pictures of the outdoors.
If your home office is in the basement, paint the walls and ceilings bright white. Create as much light as possible with bright lighting. Install a fan to get the energy flowing.

If you Work at the Office:
If possible, place your desk in a position that allows you to sit with your back to a wall or corner. This will create a sense of security. If you must sit with your back to a door, hang a mirror in front of you so you can see anyone coming into the room. Avoid placing your desk so that your back is against a window. This position will make you feel as though nothing solid is backing you up. Get rid of the clutter! Reducing clutter will begin to clear away unnecessary items in your life and make room for something new and desirable. Place a medium-sized rug in the center of your office. A deep blue, black or other dark-color rug is like a deep pool of water upon which to rest the eyes and reflect. If you don’t have a view of outside from where you sit, hang a plant or a picture of a plant in your line of view to bring the outdoors inside for a calming effect.
Feng shui is more complex than the suggestions outlined above. However, you can use these tips as a simple introduction to this ancient science. Feng shui will help make your workspace more comfortable and even more enticing. If you feel relaxed and at ease in your workspace, creative energy can flow and your overall productivity will improve. If nothing else, you’ll simply feel better or more positive while working and you’ll reduce the amount of clutter in your workspace.

Manifesting Naturally - In 2 Easy Steps

Manifesting Naturally - In 2 Easy Steps
Manifesting your desires is a very natural process that can get very complicated very quickly if you force the process. Being attached to a certain outcome is one of the quickest roads to disappointment. You must be open to the possibility that there is a greater intelligence in you that will create circumstances to help you better learn how to use your power of manifestation and in getting clear with your intent. When one is focused upon material gain as an end in itself, the outcome is constricted by the foundation of fear upon which scarcity is based. When one is focused upon selfless service to the higher good of All Life, without fear for one's own well-being, the highest result is manifested for all. You do not need to be any less prosperous in making such a shift. For the key to sustaining the manifestation of abundance, under conditions where the idea of personal prosperity is irrelevant, is the subtle shift in where one chooses to focus one's intent. People who choose to dedicate their lives to humanity or through restoring the harmony of the environment are not required to choose poverty as a demonstration of that selflessness. Circumstances will manifest quite naturally that would ensure the physical comforts of those in question when one is aligned with one's own highest purpose. When you are living your highest purpose and experiencing life in all of it's wonders and abundance you automatically give others the confidence and permission to do the same, which is the greatest result for all. You are not here as a statement of separation from life, but as a materialized statement of unification with it.
