the why and the how of it all

I wish I could always explain exactly how and why feng shui works.  I can’t.  I understand how changes in our environment can affect the energy (chi) flow, because I can feel the difference when I walk into a room.  I understand how our lives, our attitudes and our moods can change when our spaces are set up to support us.   I cannot, however, always explain why I receive additional money after I have re-energized my wealth area.  How DOES that convert to extra cheques in the mail? 

My logical brain enjoys knowing “the why and the how of it all” and for many years I struggled with not understanding everything about feng shui.  I then read Sarah Rossbach’s book entitled Interior Design with Feng Shui.  She wrote:  “Although some cures seem logical, I am still not sure why feng shui works – why a few simple, seemingly inconsequential alterations in the environment can make it more comfortable, more positively imbued;  perhaps the answer is beyond our current level of knowledge”. 

That statement made so much sense to me and I felt relief to know that it was ok for me not to understand it all the time.  I give you that same permission.  Use feng shui as a fun way to change your environment and see what happens!  One of my favourite transcendental cures is for generating change.  When you feel stuck and would like to generate new opportunities, move 27 items in your home.  Leave them in their new spot for at least seven days and pay attention to the new opportunities that come your way …
