SPRING BEGINS TODAY – LI CHUN

February 3, 2021 by Master Simona

The Li Chun (also called, Spring Stand or End of Yin, Beginning of Yang) is the midpoint between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox. It is one of the 4 LI or 4 Beginnings, it is based on the Solar Calendar, and it marks the official beginning of Spring.

It is also considered the beginning of the Feng Shui year. This year it occurs on February 3 at 11:08 pm.

This is when the official energy of the New Year takes hold and begin to manifest the Yang of the New Year, affecting us thru our houses, office and other spaces where we live and work.

The official Chinese New Year (which is based on the Lunar Calendar) will be on February 12.

On Spring Stand, the Yearly Trigram changes. This Year, our buildings are ruled by the Qian Trigram, which bring good leadership, as well as personal and career achievements.

On that day, we update the Feng Shui corrections in our homes and offices, as we discussed during our 2021 Year of the OX Forecast last month. If you missed the Live Webinar presentation, you can get the playback video at www.FengShuiTrainingCenter.com

7 Feng Shui House Tips : How to Boost Your Energy this Spring

April 30, 2019 by Master Simona

7 tips to boost your Feng Shui House Energy

Find in which direction is your power spot and set it up to spend more time in it.

Spring is Here!! Are you ready to boost the Feng Shui energy of your house?

On an energy level, doing a “spring cleaning” stirs up and activates multiple areas in your house that relate to your Feng Shui “personal life destiny”. This opens up the space and creates a vacuum effects that attracts new opportunities faster than before.

Find your power spot based on your Animal sign

Contrary to popular belief, for each of us there is an area for health, friends, romance, marriage, career and financial success. And it is based on our year of birth.
(If you do not know your Chinese animal sign, you can find it here ).

But because these areas are based primarily on your specific date of birth, they are in a different directions from person to person and consequently from house to house.What works for you, may not work for your spouse, or for your children.
Here are tips to improve your Feng Shui house for each of you and your family members based on your date of birth.
Feng Shui, as you know, deals with life-force energy (Qi). There are many levels of life-force energy in a building, all interacting together:

There is the energy of the building, the energy of the year (month and day), the energy of other buildings, streets, cars surrounding the building, and the energy of all the people living and working inside said building.
During a consultation, the Feng Shui master has to take into consideration all of these levels and make suggestions that are aesthetically pleasing, financially reasonable, and acknowledge these complex energetic dynamics.

Feng Shui is not just a matter of good design. The Feng Shui Master understands what is causing the problem on an energy level, or having negative effects on your life, and give you directions on how to mitigate adverse energy (Sha) and activate favorable energy (Qi).

2) What can Spring cleaning do for Us?

There are multiple ways that you can boost the energy in your house or office. The simplest is to do a thorough spring cleaning and focus on these specific areas.
It is never too late (or too early) to reorganize your house and your life.The simple process of going through your belongings and identifying what is no longer useful or important to you and getting rid of it is highly liberating on a psychological level. It helps you to refocus and clear your slate so that you can then create new things to look forward in your life.

On an energy level, this “spring cleaning” stirs up and activates multiple areas in your house that relate to your “personal life destiny” – opening up the space and creating room to bring in new opportunities.
For each of us based on our date of birth, there is an area for health, friends, romance, marriage, career and financial success.
Because these areas are based primarily on your date of birth, they are in a different directions from person to person and consequently from house to house.Again, what works for you, may not work for your spouse, or for your children. Hence, the practice of doing a thorough house cleaning will ensure you hit all of the good areas for everybody.

A while back, I had a client who became depressed after being laid off from work. To take her mind off of her financial struggle, she decided to give her house a once-over, cleaning the entire house with the exception of the storage room in the back (where she never spent any time).

Later, during one of my classes, she found out that that room was in a direction that related to her own date of birth and her Chinese astrological sign. This part of the house corresponded to her personal energy: The stagnant and cluttered space contributed to her own stagnation and frustration.

After the class, she went home and decided to reorganize the storage room, and, in the process, she began spending much more time there. Soon, while still in the process in fact, she had some interesting business ideas and decided to transform this room into her office (she moved her stored belongings, now organized in numbered plastic containers, into a separate storage unit).

She had barely gotten her computer situated on a new desk, when the phone rang with her first important business contact. Then another, and another. The energy was definitely flowing! She has since developed her own manufacturing and import business and has left the corporate world behind.

3) Find Your Sign’s Direction (so that you can activate it during the Spring Cleaning)

Below, I have listed the direction corresponding to each sign (in Chinese astrology), so that you can identify the section of your house that corresponds to your own sign (some directions are associated with more than one sign).

RAT ———–North
OX ————NorthEast
TIGER ——–NorthEast
RABBIT ——-East
DRAGON ——-SouthEast
SNAKE ——–SouthEast
HORSE ——–South
SHEEP ——–SouthWest
MONKEY ——SouthWest
ROOSTER —–West
DOG ——— NorthWest
PIG ———- NorthWest

4) Our 7 Ways to Boost the Feng Shui Energy in Your House in Your SIgn’s Direction

Once you found your sign’s direction, these are 7 tips to make it to use for your benefit:

Feng Shui Tip 1 : Identify the area of the house that corresponds to your birth animal. It could be a corner, or it could be a middle section of a room or wall. I recommend using a compass to make sure you identify the correct magnetic direction.

Feng Shui Tip 2: Clean and organize the area, removing all clutter. It doesn’t matter if it is a bedroom, bathroom, closet, or pantry. That section relates to you personally, so any chaos in there is going to manifest as chaos in your life, too.

Feng Shui Tip 3: Any redecoration of this area is going to give a further boosting to your own personal life as well. This is recommended especially if you’re going through hard times and everything seems particularly bad. Redecoration doesn’t have to be major; it can be as simple as changing the linens, painting a wall, or rearranging the furniture.

Feng Shui Tip 4: Make sure this area is well lit at all times. Light is Yang and intensifies the energy, boosting it up even more.

Feng Shui Tip 5:If the area of your house corresponding to your birth sign is missing, don’t panic: You can go through the same process with the corresponding section of your bedroom. For example: If you are a Tiger and the North East section of the house is missing, locate the North East section of your bedroom and boost the energy there, as described above. This works particularly well for apartments.

Feng Shui Tip 6: If you live in a house, you can clean and de-clutter both inside the house and the corresponding area in the garden just outside. If this section of the house is missing, create a sitting area (complete with light) outside, in the space where the missing corner would have been, to activate it.

Feng Shui Tip 7: I recommend that this cleaning, de-cluttering, and organizing be done on a regular basis, so that the energy never stagnates. In fact, I actually recommend you do this throughout house at least once a year, preferably in the spring, since spring is when the Life-force energy of the New Year begins and is at its strongest. That way, you’ll maximize the positive changes that you can make in your environment and in your personal life.

HOW TO PREPARE YOUR HOUSE FOR THE CHINESE NEW YEAR OF THE PIG 2019

January 24, 2019 by Master Simona

Chinese New Year 2019 is the year of the Pig and it is going to be on February 5 (starting sun down the night before), while the “Spring Stand”or Li Chun is on February 4 at 1128 am.

In Feng Shui, the “Spring Stand” is a particularly big deal (based on Seasons Sun’s cycle), even more so than the Traditional New Year (based on Lunar cycle). This is so because the “Spring Stand” is the midpoint between the Winter Solstice (December 21) and the Spring Equinox (March 21). This is the official time when the Yin-ness of winter ends and the Yang-ness of spring begins. Hence the definition: “The end of Yin, the beginning of Yang” (hence the term “Spring Stand”).

So, what does it all mean?

It means that the energy of the previous year is fully exhausted and that on Spring Stand day, the New Year’s new, vibrant energy is going to come in, like a newborn baby.

This is why, if you have done any business with Hong Kong or Asia, you have noticed that the month of January in general is not a good month to start any new business ventures—contrary to us in the West where we love to implement our New Year’s resolutions on January 1.

This is an acknowledgment that the energy globally is exhausted and so what is the point of starting something new now? You might as well just wait until after the Chinese New Year and the Spring Stand when the energy is fresh and vibrant.

But how do we prepare for it to make sure we get the very best out of this New Year’s energy?

Below I have included the 4 main things I recommend for all my clients to do. In addition, this is the perfect time to have a Feng Shui Consultation for your home or office to make sure the New Year will support your living and working environment at its best.

Also don’t forget to attend my Free, Live, 1-Hour Online Webinar Presentation for the 2019 Feng Shui Forecast, the Year of the Pig, on Saturday January 26 at 11 AM, PST. If you have not registered for it yet, you can do so Here.

Here are my 4 key tips on how to prepare your house and yourself to receive the prosperous vibrancy of this New Year:

Go through your house, garage, office, and any building you own and discard anything that is broken or unfixable. Even things you have meant to fix for a long time but have still been left sitting there forever (because you didn’t have the time); they all have to go. And I mean everything: clothing, furniture, bikes, cars, or anything that has just been sitting there collecting dust; either fix it or toss it now. For every one of these broken or unfixable items is holding back a piece of your energy if you let it continue to just sit there. However, the simple act of fixing or letting go of these items will release the quantum particle of your own energy you have left trapped in them. This is a technique to bring more of your own energy back to you.

Ideally, this is the very best time for spring cleaning. Though you may have already done so in preparation of the Holidays, this is a spring cleaning with a purpose. While you are actually dusting off, brushing up, and polishing up things, you are also removing stagnant energy from every room of the house and opening up the space for the life-force of the New Year to come in. I promise you’ll feel the difference immediately!

P.S.: This and tip 1 above are not a martyrdom exercise. You can have a professional organizer, your housekeeper, or your friends and children help out. If fact, often because they are not as attached to the items involved as you are in the process, they may help you move through it all faster and more effectively. The real point is “just get it done” however you can.

Next, redecorate some areas based on the new Feng Shui energy. When I consult with you on your house, I will tell you where the best locations are and where the bad locations are throughout it. This way we can fix or avoid the bad spots and rearrange the furniture so you can spend more time in the good areas instead of the bad ones. In the process, we may also shift some of the furniture from room to room too, so you’ll have a house makeover in addition to an energy makeover. (You will not need to buy new furniture, unless you want to.)

After doing all this work, take a few minutes to sit down and think about people and circumstances in your life that are broken, especially ones that upset you a bit (or a lot) over the past year. Can they be mended? Relationships are not like furniture. Most time it is easier to fix them than replace them. Can you do that? What would it take for you to do that? Holding a grudge into the New Year is a sure way to guarantee the same problem or circumstance will continue on. Could this be a good opportunity to fix what is broken with the relationships involved in your life? No matter how bad things are, if you are willing to make amends and kindly allow others to do the same with you, there is no relationship that can’t be fixed (even if fixing it means finally letting it go). This is especially true if we are late into our years in life; for if there is life, there is still hope. Don’t let it get too late. And what if they don’t want to mend the relationship with you? As long as you have honestly done all you could to mend your side of the fence then there is nothing more you can do. (Just be honest with yourself in the process and make sure you really are doing all you can.)

Why is it so important to fix all these things before the New Year starts? Because the newly arriving energy of the year can either be supportive for you or not supportive. If you are stuck for a whole year with un-supportive energy all things that are precarious in your life—physically, health-wise, and in your relationships—will come back to haunt you. You can bet on that! And there’s nothing better than preventing the drama from happening just by doing these 4 tips.

And don’t forget to attend our 1 hour, Live Online Webinar Presentation on the 2019 Feng Shui Forecast, the Year of the Pig, on January 26 at 11 AM, PST (2pm East, 1pm Central) . The session is Free,but you do need to Register Here to receive the log in link.

Since you are cleaning and decluttering your space, you might as well let me tell you how to rearrange your furniture now too for maximum benefit for this New Year!

Feng Shui Apple Campus: the Biggest Experiment Since the Forbidden City

July 17, 2017 by Master Simona

See here footage of the new #AppleCampus in Cupertino.

I can’t wait to see how this one turns out in the long run.

It is not my work, as round shape floor plan is generally considered not good in Feng Shui and I would never let any client take such a risk if I wasn’t sure it was going to turn out 100% good.

The building is huge so maybe the old rationale still apply, or maybe not?…will it have good effect or a bad effects? Only time will tell. I think we can safely consider this the biggest Feng Shui experiment since the Forbidden City. My own participation in the Feng Shui consulting for the Los Angeles Zoo addition few years back is tiny in comparison.

It is $5 billion case study, a very expensive experiment, but great for Feng Shui scholars to see how this very brilliant company will benefit, or not, from it. Keeping my finger crossed for them.

Thank you Steve for taking suck a risk and allow every Feng Shui Master in the world to learn from this!

FENG SHUI FOR CAREER SUCCESS

March 8, 2016 by Master Simona

When we plan Feng Shui for Career Success, we are planning for financial success, but also for much more than that.

What makes the difference between a “career” and just a ”job” is that in a career we invest our passion, our dreams and our plans for the future. It is not just a pay check, is a long term relationship with other people and circumstances that will help us grow as persons as well.

Hence, part of planning your Feng Shui for Career Success involves activating your talents, your leadership, your business charisma, and your cooperation abilities.

For years, I have watched as my students attend professional classes with the desire of helping others by using Feng Shui either as professional consultants, or as designers with Feng Shui proficiency. In the process, they also discovered Feng Shui can be useful for them, to improve their own lives and their own career.

As soon as my last Advanced Feng Shui course was completed last year, half of the students were off moving into new places that they can now pre-selected thanks to what they learn in the Advanced Feng Shui course.

Eventually they all moved into excellent Feng Shui homes. In within few weeks after moving in these new places, they all experienced extraordinary miracles in their lives, lot of them related to their careers.

Here are some of the success stories they shared with me (I am changing the names for privacy purposes):

Mary, who works full time for a famous nation-wide corporation got the promotion she has been waiting for the last two year.
July, who run her own professional business, experienced an increase of customers while at the same time being offered a full time job in within the same field field by a larger competitor.
Maria, was placed in an unpaid “leave of absence” by her company before taking our course and wasn’t sure if she would ever get her job back. She did get her job back, and shortly after she got a rise too.
Doan lost his job shortly after relocating across country to take it. After the Feng Shui chages, he was hired back by the same company. An offer which he refused, to accept instead an offer by a different company for his “real” dream job.
Jen, an interior designer, was hired by a Los Angeles firm where Feng Shui services are in high demand.
Racheal has become a real estate agent and helps investors finding building they can fix and flip effectively while creating good karma for these same buildings (and future owners) thru her Feng Shui expertise.
Miko, Belinda and Gabi also interior designers and architects, have expanded their services to specialize in Feng Shui and are now busy around the clock while continuing our Mastery Program to gain professional grade proficiency.

These are only few of the success stories our students have experienced after applying Feng Shui in their own lives.

We invite you to join us for our upcoming short webinar on Feng Shui for Career Success coming up on March 15 and for our Professional Certification Webinar Course in Advanced Feng Shui starting on April 12 and see for yourself what Feng Shui can do for you and for your career.

I am looking forward to having you in our Feng Shui Classes!!

GOALS OF THE PROGRAM

The request for Feng Shui consultations, often to accompany architectural and design services, is continuously growing worldwide. Now more than ever clients are requesting the ancient art of Feng Shui to be integrated with their designs to help bring them abundance, wellness, and positive growth (as well as give them an advantage on the competition).

Feng Shui is an ancient, natural science that gives us insights on how to create healthier and more successful living and working environments. Because each building is unique, each has to be treated specially. Ultimately all occupants of a building can benefit from it having good Feng Shui.

By learning how to analyze the unique “energy imprint” of a building or property you’ll be able to prevent potential issues by making adjustments with its design during the first development stage as well as give your design that extra something—that “energy glow” that will make the final effect truly unique.

This Advanced Feng Shui Certificate Program will help you address your client’s needs, as well as teach you how to integrate the principles in your own living and working environments. After teaching over 5,000 students at UCLA Extension and at multiple Feng Shui Conferences all over the world for the past 20 years, Dr. Simona Mainini has decided to take her in-depth knowledge of Feng Shui to the next level and create this Advanced Feng Shui Certificate Program for other motivated professionals like herself, and to help them succeed in following their passion about Feng Shui.

FENG SHUI FOR BUSINESS: the City Club Los Angeles

October 14, 2015 by Master Simona

When the City Club in downtown Los Angeles decided to relocate to the South Tower of the City National Plaza building in 2012, I was contacted by the planning architect and was offered the task of being the Feng Shui business consultant for their design. In fact, the Club’s General Manager, Larry Ahlquist, had specifically requested my services. “We have a large Asian clientele,” he informed me during our first meeting. “We know Feng Shui is important to them, and we would like to honor their culture and avoid any Feng Shui faux pas.”

And so we rode up to the 51^st floor of the City National Plaza’s South Tower to an empty, glass and concrete, 30,000 square foot space with nothing but an electrician there making it fit for use. It was a Feng Shui Master (and architect’s) dream scenario. “This building is very good for the Club, Larry,” I shared with him during my initial analysis. “And we’ll make it a smashing success.”

In the following months, Larry and their teams of architects and designers worked painstakingly to create the most luxurious, sophisticated, and yet still warm and inviting look for the “new” club. And proudly, I must say, they all followed every single Feng Shui suggestion I had made during my consulting time with them, incorporating the Five Elements of Feng Shui with the design layout, the colors, and the finishing materials. The result was not only breathtakingly beautiful, but equally perfect from a Feng Shui stand point.

“This building has very good Qi, that is why it is so successful,” one of the members commented to me during one of the Club’s sold out events (and without knowing I was involved in its design). When I explain my involvement, he was very happy to know the management had taken an interest in Feng Shui during its design. And he wanted to know more, so I told him how my consultation had helped. Soon a pool of people started to form around us, all eager to know what I did to make the energy of the place so good.

“In every single area we have inserted natural elements and colors to create harmony with the Qi of the building and to support leadership, financial success, and harmonious relationships for the members in attendance,” I explained. “So no matter if you are a guest for dinner, having a one-time only meeting in one of the conference rooms, or attending a weekly meeting or a special function or a banquet—every area has been designed specifically for the Qi, meaning the life force energy, to support members in creating success. And this is possible to attain for anybody and any building, whether it’s a residence, an office, or a place of business, by following my specific Feng Shui Master instructions, just like the City Club management and design teams have done.”

I remained in deep discussion with these members for almost an hour. Upon seeing such an interest in hearing even more details, Larry decided to offer his members (and non-members) a live public presentation at the City Club itself where I could explain what I did even further, and also so that all of his members would be able to have the opportunity to learn how the Feng Shui of the Club can help them achieve success in their daily visits.

And so it is that we’ll now be holding the public presentation “Designed for Success: Feng Shui at the City Club Los Angeles” on Wednesday, March 30, 2016, at 6:30 – 8:00 PM on the Club’s very own premises.

Please join us in celebrating the Club’s success and learn how you too can use Feng Shui principles to make your own business space more successful.

Please call 213.620.9662 to RSVP. A small fee for non-members may apply.

I look forward to seeing you and sharing all I know about Feng Shui with you!

FENG SHUI FOR COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS: Creating Success in Real Estate Investment

May 27, 2015 by Master Simona

Magellan Gateway Business Park has finally broke ground last Thursday in El Monte, CA. It is a great example of perfect Feng Shui for commercial buildings.

Over the past year, I have work relentlessly with the development company in the application of Feng Shui for this 5-building Business Park, covering 26 acres and over 500,000 square feet of units available for sale and lease. View video of the site during groundbreaking day VideoMagellanGateway1

My services were originally requested to cater to Asian investors and prospective clients – El Monte is currently expanding by leaps and bounds thanks to the Asian community.

However, as we progressed, the development team became aware of the many insightful applications of Feng Shui for commercial success I was able to provide them with and decided to follow all my recommendations in detail.

It has been one of the best projects I worked on for the team spirit of the participants, and I am expecting it will be greatly successful too due to the above average design of the architects, the attention to details of the developer and of course, the Feng Shui insights I have provided and that were followed very precisely.

I couldn’t be more proud of it.

And of course, the proof is the pudding: the project has barely broken ground and one of the largest building is already in escrow. What can I say, I love my job!!

I am including the Magellan Gateway Business Park brochure below for your perusal here. Feel free to contact the Real Estate Team directly for any question relating to the purchase (contact info on the enclosed brochure link).

And if you are developing any commercial project, I’ll be happy to assist you too. Email me directly at dr.simona@fengshuiarch.com or call me at 310 860 8989 to discuss your project.

Feng Shui 2015 Forecast: Year of the Wood Sheep (Goat)

December 23, 2014 by Master Simona

As I have mentioned before, 2015 is going to be overall very different from 2014.
While 2014 was supported by the powerful nature of the Yang Fire (Horse), 2015 is going to be ruled by the mild nature of the Yin Earth (Sheep – aka Goat). Link to view our forecast video is ahead.

On the good side, much of the conflict we experienced in 2014 will tend to naturally mitigate in 2015 as people will be drawn more to negotiation and will feel overall less inclined to fight and argue. Click here or on the picture to review our Youtube video forecast for 2015.

The New Year however, is also ruled by Trigram Zhen, which can also cause any conflict to escalate if not dealt with promptly with tact, or even better, anticipated and avoided.

So overall we are going be pushed and pulled in two different directions, but calm negotiation is the name of the game. The other good news is that Trigram Zhen is related more directly to the Feng Shui of our houses then the Stem and Branch signs (which effects our overall “luck” instead) and hence, it can be corrected using the Feng Shui techniques we teach in our classes.

Join us on January 8 at 11 am PST for our full Feng Shui 2015 Forecast for the Year of the Wood Sheep (Goat) and to learn what you can do in 2015 to mitigate the adverse effects of this year.

NOTE: we recommend that once you receive the login link you sign-in with your computer ahead of time to avoid cyber-jams on the day of the event. The system only allows for 100 participants and last year some of you that login late were, unfortunally, left out. If you are registered and unable to attend at last minute, the link to the video recording will be emailed to you at no additional charge.

I am looking forward to see you all there.

Best wishes for a Splendid Miracle Season and a Fantastic New Year!!

Bad Feng Shui Office for a Good Business

February 7, 2014 by Master Simona

A good Feng Shui Office is the key to Feng Shui for Business success. I never saw a bad Feng Shui office leading to a successful business. Rather the opposite.

I was in Diamond Bar last week for an Asian business owner looking to relocate his national business headquarters to an upscale area. He really liked the prospected building, especially the fact that other big and famous companies were in the process of just moving in as well, and so he felt good about joining them. However, he had some concerns about the “space” per se’.

As part of my prep work I was sent a floor plan of this particular space with the client’s specifications on how it was going to be laid out. As soon as I saw the plan I frowned too. The space had a large chuck missing, an entire corner actually, which gave the remainder of the space the shape of a triangle.

Those of you who have been my students already know where I am going next just by saying this… but for those of you who haven’t been one of my students, a triangular shaped building is often undesirable because the internal layout will cause the Qi of the space to be very unstable. It is definitely not (if ever) desirable, especially for a Feng Shui business or a proper Feng Shui Office.

In addition, when such a large portion of a space is missing, particularly if it is a good portion—like in your money area or your career advancement area—then it is really bad news because your business will not be benefiting from those. And the scary thing is if these sections are not there, as a Feng Shui Master, I cannot boost them up for you. These sections should be physically present for me to make them work to your advantage and increase your business and financial success.

These kind of buildings—where the money section or the career advancement section are missing—are especially undesirable because ultimately there is nothing that can redeem them. These are not good Feng Shui offices. And not just for my client, but in this instance, for anyone leasing spaces in that same building. You will recognize these buildings because they have a lot of turn over. Since the renters are not doing well, they’ll leave as soon as the lease expires (usually 5 years) and downsize or be forced to move to a less expensive area because they have suffered big losses.

When we first visited the space my client was a bit surprise from my analysis because they really, really liked the space. But when they realized that ALL the spaces in the entire building were recently occupied by new tenants (because the previous occupants had either gone out of business or downsized) they quickly retraced their steps.

As an alternative, I was asked to do an analysis of their existing space (of which their lease was about to expire) which turned out to be comparatively superior. Hence, they decided to stay in the existing facility, renegotiate a good deal, and renovate the current building instead of moving. Now my work is to help them make this existing building more Feng Shui compliant—taking full advantage of their money section and career advancement section—which were only being partially used at the time of my consultation.

I have no doubt their business will increase after the changes, it always does. I’ll keep you posted on that.

3 Feng Shui Tips for Chinese New Year

January 30, 2014 by Master Simona

2014 Year of the Wood Horse

As per my live presentation few weeks ago, Friday January 31st is when the New Chinese Year kicks in. Between then and the Spring Stand (February 5th), the old energy of 2013 will leave completely your house and the new energy, 2014 Wood Horse, will start effecting your life.

Here are some quick tips on how to attract as much of this new energy as possible.

1) Old, broken or unused got to go: everything in your life that is irreparably broken – objects especially – need to be repaired of discarded. Appliances, clothes, furniture, car, old papers are “breaking” your energy every time you attempt to use it and can’t. So if they cannot be repaired, they need to be replaced with working ones. I know you think is not that easy, but as I am typing this, I am actually clearing all my file cabinets in my office. Easy? No! But it feels great when it is done and you’ll experience your energy raising exponentially as you make your way to the garbage bin.

2) Early Spring Cleaning: after removing any broken or unused object it is time to do a good spring cleaning. I am not going to be to particular about this. If you are very neat and want to do the proverbial toothbrush cleaning go right ahead. If you do not have a time and you want to do a vacuum-dust off cleaning that is fine too. No matter what, as you do it, you are cleaning AND shaking the energy in the space, allowing it to flow more. And because you have make space by getting rid of old stuff, that will have a “vacuum” effect in attracting new 2014 energy to fill up the space. As I am also experiencing it right now, I promise you’ll feel the difference immediately.

3) Rearrange your furniture: Everybody’s house is different. I just turned the room from where I broadcast my classes around to have better concentration with my students this year. As I have explained in my live presentation, different “energy” are going to occupy different areas this year and so you can rearrange the furniture to spend more time in the section of your house with better energy. I need to refer you again to that video because it address them all in details.

Have fun and enjoy bringing in more luck for 2014!
