FABULOUS GLORIOUS ABUNDANCE – FENG SHUI FOR PROSPERITY PART II

News from Denise and Summerhill Ranch

Denise got back from Australia I Can Do It event, and Mork was very excited to see her.  Read her August Newsletter (Mumblings & Musings) to know about Denise’s other meaningful and somewhat humorous experience.

An abundance tip

NB:  If you’re using the techniques mentioned on the radio shows, know that they don’t have to be perfect eg. your collage doesn’t have to be perfect.  Keep going and the energy you put out will come back to you.

About Feng Shui

Feng shui doesn’t give you wealth, but it will support you as you move in the direction of prosperity.

There are a lot of reasons you could be struggling with prosperity:  Past life Karma –  but you can change it, you are not stuck with the past.  It can be ancestral programming, childhood programming, programming from society, culture, religion, your astrology, etc.  All of this can be changed.

About Clutter clearing

Clutter clearing – if you want more flow of finances in your life, you need to have more flow in your home.  The more flow (qi, energy, life force) you have, the more finances can flow into your home.  Go room by room – if you don’t love it or use it, move it out of your energy field (home). 

Specific tips regarding your wallet/purse  and clutter clearing:

1. Keep it clean and don’t use it as a trash bag because this influences your financial flow.
2. Avoid wallet clutter – if you open your purse, and if you haven’t used something and don’t love it, clear it out.  You should not have the energy in your purse clogged  - clear it out.  Clear out extra cards and credit cards – keep only what you use.  A purse/wallet represents wealth.
3. When you go out, do not put your purse on the floor (especially the bathroom floor).  Treat it as if it’s a metaphor for your wealth.  Keep your purse elevated and don’t put it on the table you eat off – GERMS!!
4. Don’t disrespect the money in your purse – respect even the coins and put them in the coins section because lots of money starts with a small amount of money.  Honour even the penny or dime you pick up and give thanks because prosperity is flowing to you.  If you stop the flow in any area, even in a small area, it stops the flow in a big area.  If your bills are crumpled, uncrumple them and lay them in some order.
5. Feel abundant - Put $100 bill in your wallet/purse, hide it and don’t spend it.  This represents feeling abundant but also having financial reserves when you need them; it’s a metaphor.
6. NB:  Feng shui is a metaphor.  The most powerful Feng Shui is symbolic feng shui  Let your purse or wallet be symbolic of that
7. Energise your wallet/purse by doing blessings, spraying it with essential oils, putting it out in the sun and asking the abundant sunshine of our beautiful planet to energise it.  If you have an altar, put your purse on the altar for 24hrs, whatever feels energizing and abundant to you. 
8. Buy thoughtfully – when you’re buying that purse, make sure that you love it.  See how it feels on your shoulder – if it’s uncomfortable, chances are that from  a feng shui perspective, it’s going to be an uncomfortable journey to proseperity.  Make sure it has enough compartments and you don’t have to search through your purse to find things, because this can be a metaphor about how you have to find your way financially too and it’s not easy.  You must be able to find things in your purse easily.
9. Your purse should be secure, not open to the Universe.  It should have some way of fastening/closing to secure your wealth and abundance.

More Feng Shui suggestions (See Part I for more info):

The entrance to your home:

· The entrance to your home is a metaphor for your entire home and a powerful metaphor for prosperity.  Oil the door, make the entrance beautiful and comfortable.

· The pathway to your home should have no obstacles if possible.  It should be well lit and clean.

· The entrance is an “energy greeter” – it should have anything that feels symbolic of welcoming people who come inside.  You’re saying:  Welcome qi, welcome abundance/life eg.  have plants, buddhas or any beautiful, welcoming thing at the entrance.. 

Symbols as ornaments in your home: 

· The sailing ship representing abundance or the fat Buddha (see Part I)

· The dragon – symbolic of wealth/abundance.  Get a fat dragon full of energy and life force, and put it where it feels good.  Get coins and put the dragon on top of the coins activating the dragon energy into your home/life symbolically. 

The source of your money-making:

· Think about the way you make your money - eg.  Phone, computer, mail box, etc. 

· Make sure this particular place is clean, workable. 

· Tape some money or an affirmation under it.

The Kitchen:

· The stove burners are symbolic, so have them working and use them. 

· The far left back burner is a symbolic area of wealth – use it!

· Never leave an empty pot on a burner since this indicates a lack. 

· Kitchen should be clutter clear. (Also see Part I for more info). 

· Put things in your kitchen that represent wealth eg.  fill your spice bottles, have a big bowl of fruit, have affirmations above/behind stove.

Your Desk:

· Put your desk in the command/power position

· make sure you can see the door and it’s not behind you. 

· Do not have a window behind you – ideally something solid eg. mountain picture

Abundance Altar:

· The creation of an altar is a ceremony that honours the fact that you are opening to the flow of the Universe. 

· There is no scarcity in the Universe – the more you have the more you can give.

Water:

· Water represents financial flow (greatest symbol of prosperity).

· Inside entrance you might put a blue/black rug representing water/a river of opportunity flowing into this home. 

· The water must be coming towards you, not flowing away from you, eg.  waterfall poster as if water is flowing towards you. 

· When you’re working with water, have the intention (because intention is everything) that this water is activating even more abundance. 

· Ideas of water symbols:  Pictures of oceans,rivers, symbolic art, blue lava lamp with the intention of water, home fountains (have the intention that more and more abundance is flowing to you.).  Fish (goldfish or any fish that give you joy – in feng shui, 8 gold fish and 1 black goldfish is traditional ), a Zen aquarium, aquarium with plastic plants. 

· Don’t put the aquarium in your bedroom – put it anywhere else (you can use the 3 door gate or compass school feng shui system – see Part I) with the intention that you’re activating abundance. 

· Put a plug/shells over open drains – so that this water is not moving away from the home, symbolically blocking the flow. 

· Toilet seats should be closed for the same reason.

FABULOUS GLORIOUS ABUNDANCE – FENG SHUI FOR PROSPERITY

News from Denise and Summerhill Ranch

Pepper, Denise’s dog, had emergency surgery.  Denise thanks her Facebook peeps for their support and love.

What is Feng Shui and how does it relate to abundance?

·   Denise is the founder of the largest feng shui institute in the U.S.  Go to her website (www.deniselinn.com) for details. 

·   Feng Shui itself will not give you abundance – it strengthens your energy field, it activates your energy field and allows you to have a stronger qi (pronounced “chee”) or life force - a stronger energy that will make it easier to manifest abundance.

2 Rules for Feng Shui :

·   If it feels good, it’s probably good Feng Shui.

·   If it feels bad, it’s probably bad Feng Shui  (similarly, if it feels abundant, it’s probably abundant Feng Shui)

Key points for Clutter Clearing using Feng Shui

·   When you clutter clear using Feng Shui, you want to clutter clear anything to do with finances eg.  boxes of old bills & tax returns – take photos of them if you need them.

·   Look at where your money comes from – if you make money through your computer, make sure all the space around your computer is clutter clear.  If you make money through your phone, the principle is the same.  Wherever you make money, make sure it’s clutter clear.

·   Definition of clutter:  If you do not use it, you do not love it – chances are it’s clutter. 

·   Clutter clear your home so that life force. energy (qi) flows through your home.

3 Key points for feng shui-ing your home:

1. Auspicious front door

· When you walk up to your front door, it should feel good, clean, beautiful and inviting eg.  door shouldn’t be squeaky or blocked by shrubbery.

· The first thing you see when you open your front door is important – it sets a template for the whole home. 

· Your home is an outer manifestation of your inner energy – your home should feel safe, secure, abundant and loving, a sanctuary/haven.  Then you want to tweak it in the direction of your desires eg.  if you focus on abundance, create a space that feels abundant

· Notice the first thing that gets your attention when you enter your home (eg. even a smell, sound, etc.)

· Regarding finances:  if you open your front door and can see out of the back door, this isn’t good – finances can come…but they can also leave.  You want the house to contain, to hold energy (See 2. for ideas about what to do)

2. Expanse in front

· You want to have an expanse in front so that you feel expansive

· In feng shui, it’s not what is real, it’s what is perceived, so you can even create an illusion by putting something inside your door/on your door that has a long view eg.  a scene from a mountain looking down into a valley

     3.  Mountain in back

· This is just as important as the front door.

· At the back of the home, there should be something that’s supportive

·  Eg of this in daily life:  executive at office may have high chair or picture of mountain behind her, or at a restaurant, you’d probably rather sit with the wall behind you than the expanse of the restaurant behind you.  We like to have that feeling of protection behind us.

· Regarding Finances:  that mountain will give you a stability and “groundedness” for your finances.  At the back of your house, you want a mountain (support) not a ravine or swimming pool, etc.

Representations of Abundance

· Water represents abundance – put in water features, paintings of water, aquariums (8 or 9 fish – 8 or 9 representing abundance).

· Sailing ship ornament in house (make sure sails are up –this symbolizes the abundance that the ship has gathered over time is coming into shore).

· Wallet – symbolic of abundance.  Clear it out,  and also put abundance affirmations in it

Bagua

This is the energy map of the home; every area of the home represents a different aspect of life.  It works!

NB:  It’s not the system as much as your belief in it

1.  Three door gate – When facing your home, always look at the farthest left hand corner area.  This is your abundance area. (also farthest left hand corner of any room when facing into a room)  To do any “cures”, that’s the place to do something eg. put a fountain/picture of waterfall/anything that feels abundant to you.

2. Compass school – South east corner area of your home/every room in your home is abundant.

Tips for Feng Shui of your home

NB  If you have lots of abundance flowing into your life, do not change anything.

· You may want to have one room in your home that feels abundant to you – as you feel it, it’s so much easier to create it.  It could be your bedroom – see what feels abundant to you (you don’t need to spend a lot, use your creativity – look at garage sales etc.)

· Your bathroom – pay particular attention to it:  Keep bathroom door closed and toilet seat closed if possible.  Make your bathroom feel as abundant as possible eg. put candles in/ new coat of paint etc.

· Remember the farthest south east corner/farthest left hand corner of every room for abundance.

· The Stove (direct correlation between stove and abundance).  Put mirror behind burners – it doubles the number of burners (NB:  it is not what is real; it’s what is perceived)

Keep the burners clean and have the intention that:  “I’m creating the space for more abundance to flow into me”. 

· If you have plants in your abundance area, when watering – affirm:  “As I water this plant, more abundance flows into me”.

· When you buy a home: find out why person is selling this home eg.  if person is doing well and wants to expand, the home has good feng shui.  If person is selling because of financial troubles, if possible, don’t choose that home.

· Any object that was previously owned by an abundant person (in any form – abundance in heart/finances/generosity/etc.) – having that object activates that abundance into your energy field. Eg.  going into a high-end business and taking a vial of water from their bathroom, then watering a plant in your abundance area and holding the intention:  “I’m bringing more abundance into my life and the lives of my family.  The more I have the more I can give.  I’m receiving abundance.”

Denise’s Wisdom of the Week:

“Spiritual seeds are planted in the fertile soil of your soul and these will take root.  They will branch and they will bear fruit – fruit of abundance and prosperity.”

“As you feel abundant, that feeling of abundance will soak inside of you and shift your vibration.”

“There is always a cure; a way to shift and change bad Feng Shui.”

NB:  Use affirmations with Feng Shui
