A Subtle Shift Can Change Your Life

Candace — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 16:09:06 +0000

If things in your life seem a bit personally restraining, emotionally demanding or financially draining then a small shift in your environment can help to make the shift you need to get things moving in your life.

Every time there is a change in your environment it will cause you to adjust to that change. Just like when someone close to you chooses to change by taking a new job, hobby or schedule it impacts you and you adjust.

It can be as simple as just re-arranging your art and or accessories or a bit more work in re-arranging your furniture or even painting a wall a different color. Regardless of what changes you make you will shift the subtle energy in your life.

The bigger the change in your environment, the bigger the change in your life. So you choose the amount of change you want by choosing the amount of change you make in your environment.

Are You Evolving or Revolving?

Candace — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 01:48:37 +0000

Have you ever felt like your life is stuck in a revolving door and you can’t break free from the inertia of the spin? Going round and round and round, a different scene each time but the same outcome?

Many if not most people experience this same thing.

I am sure that you have heard the saying “how can you keep repeating the same behavior expecting different results” and can all grimace and know that most of use are guilty of this behavior somewhere in our lives.

Why? Because we really don’t know how to change our behavior. We have been responding, acting and reacting the same way for the most of our lives. These patterns are so engrained that we can’t seem to get out of the rut even though we know we want a different outcome.

Each new relationship ends with amazing similar results. We hear the same criticisms over and over again and keep thinking it’s the other person fault when in fact it’s about us, our inability to take the action necessary to make the changes that can and will bring us overflowing happiness.

First, one must acknowledge and accept the repeating message. This is 90% of the work involved in the change. Denial of our liabilities is the wall that keeps us from living fully in abundance and joy.

Making the necessary changes is the next step but these life long patterns can be difficult to change. This is where 20 Minute Feng Shui can help. Creating the energy in your home for the changes that you desire will create the environment of change. Living in this new energy will begin to influence and change you and your behavior.

We all know that your place in life is directly related to where and how you grew up. Look at the outcome of the lives of those who grow up in Beverly Hills verses those who grow up in the Getto.

You can have a direct impact on where you life is going by taking control of your environment. 20 Minute Feng Shui can help you do this.

Feng Shui Beauty???

Can you really Feng Shui Yourself? Absolutely! Feng Shui is all about energy. So why not apply the same principles to how you look. Think of yourself, your body and face as a canvas. How will you decorate it? Take into consideration the principles of balance, proportion, color and the flow of energy. Some consider the 5 elements but I think that this is to esoteric to really apply to how you look. You can find out more out these feng shui principles in my feng shui eCourse. Check it out at :

Don’t Just Survive but Thrive in 2009

Candace — Fri, 26 Dec 2008 06:48:48 +0000

It’s the day after Christmas, the excitement is winding down and our mind begins to wonder. The New Year is just around the corner.

This year went by so fast. The highlights of the year begin to flash in our minds. We have perceived failures and successes. Judgment begins to creep into our souls. We think about now where we have arrived and what the future will bring.

The current economic times seem bleak for many. Those of us who know that we live in an abundant Universe know that the New Year will bring our hearts desires regardless of what happens in the stock market and what the political climate is.

You see in each an every moment you have the choice of what you perceive. You can perceive problems or you can see opportunity.

Through out history the greatest opportunity has been present at the moment of greatest difficulty. The greatest wealth every made was made during the depression.

Choose for 2009 to be your year of greatest opportunity.

If you read this and feel that it can’t be for you then it is time, time to make a change, time to begin creating the foundation for abundant prosperity and joy in 2009.

If you feel like you have tried to make changes and it just has not happened for you then Feng Shui may be just what you need to start shifting your energy.

That’s what Feng Shui does. It creates the energy for what you desire and that energy begins to work on shifting your energy and the energy in your life.

If you are looking to create a firm foundation for your present and future my 20 Minute Feng Shui e-course will walk you through each step to creating the energy for the life desire in 2009.

Feng Shui Money Improvement

Candace — Sun, 14 Dec 2008 23:17:40 +0000

Feng Shui Question:

My friend Victoria suggested that I place a red envelope with a dollar amount written on the front-under the lamp in the far left hand corner of my home-which is my bedroom. I did. She said that her maneuver almost doubled her income. Mine brought me clients who have not paid on time, and my oldest son letting me know that his first paycheck from his new job will not be coming soon enough to pay a few of his bills. What do you think of all that?

Feng Shui Answer:

The energy practice you mention with the red envelop and dollar works! It did for your friend and I have seen it work for many more. So why did it not work for you? Well, it did work for you but it did not work as well. You increased your Finance/Money but with problems. It’s not the energy practice that is the problem. The problem has something to do with the feng shui of your property and home. Here are three suggestions:

This indicates to me that you have ailments on your property and in your home that are affecting your Fiance/Money . First check to make sure that your property and home are whole ( see my Wholeness cures report). This is most likely the problem.
Your Money problems could also be that you homes chi is being drained. With out doing a complete analysis it’s impossible to guess at what it might be. The 20 Minute Feng Shui e-course can help you uncover all the chi ailments.
Also, in addition I would write an affirmation for your relationship life station about how your clients respect and honor your services and happily pay in full and on time.

Creating a Feng Shui Home of Forgiveness and Acceptance

Candace — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 02:25:16 +0000

One reader sent this comment:

“I had a difficult childhood which makes for a difficult relationship with my parents. My father is an alcoholic and my parents are divorced”

It is said that when one member of the family overcomes a family issue that it opens the door for everyone else to enter.

As you walk in your entrance to your feng shui home the wall on the far left of the home or room is the family life station.

It is here where you will create the energy field for acceptance, forgiveness and allowing for your family.

To be able to release the control your parents have over you, you must first release your control over your parents, control of how and what you want them to be.

Create the energy of allowing for your parents.

Put it all in writing in the present tense.

Place a picture of your mother and your father in the family life station of your feng shui home. Read this statement of forgiveness, acceptance and release on a daily basis.

Soon, you will begin to feel a freedom to do and be what every your heart desires.

5 Feng Shui Tips for Increasing Your Abundance

Candace — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 23:19:58 +0000

Once you have set the feng shui foundation for your home and stopped the money drains, creating the energy for abundance is the next step.

The following 5 tips are for increasing your abundance:

1. Get the money flowing by placing a fountain in your money corner (the far left corner of the home or room as you stand in the doorway looking in). Flowing water will bring in new money to your home.
2. Multiply what you already have by placing three Chinese coins on a small mirror in your money corner.

3.    Place a mirror on your cook top so that you can see all the burners. The cook top represent mana or food.
4.    Write your present tense affirmations for your financial increase. It is important that you goal is believable to you.
5.    Then allow the finances to flow. Do not try to dictate how the money flows just accept what ever the Universe brings your way.

Stop the Feng Shui Chi Drain?

Candace — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 02:31:58 +0000

This is such an important subject and so many of you write to me on this that I must come back to it again.

“Financial problems” or “not enough money”

Chi is the life force. Money is just an expression of Chi. If you don’t have enough money or chi to go around you have to start by looking at your home.

Remember what you create in your home you create in your life.

Where in you home is there a drain on your Feng Shui Chi?

Does the maintenance of your home require more of your energy than you have available?

Not dealing with the maintenance of your home is a constant drain on your energy and sends the message to your higher self of lack. This focus on lack re-creates lack in your finances.

So, identify the maintenance issues and set a plan in motion to take care of these issues.

Most maintenance issues around the home can be repaired with a little elbow grease. Replace any burnt out light bulbs.Tighten that screw on the door knobs.

What ever the project, break it down into manageable pieces and before you know it you will be done and on your way to creating feng shui abundance.

Do You Question Your Feng Shui Relationship Feelings?

Candace — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 04:05:16 +0000

“Have difficulty with being aroused by men and don’t want to be gay”

The feng shui relationship area of you home is what we will address.

You must begin to love yourself and allow all feelings without judgment. When you can do this, the energy around this situation will resolve itself.

Identifying the energy you desire in your life and them creating it in your home will assist you in incorporating this energy in your life. Start with self love, loving yourself enough to allow what you feel without judgment.

Select a place in your home where you can create an environment of nurturing.

Make this a place just for you, a place where you can love and be loved by yourself, your feng shui relationship area.

What ever it takes to make you feel this way, use it.

You may include a picture of yourself in a time where you felt good about yourself or it may be a book of inspirational quotes that you read. It may help you to journal your feelings.

Spend time each day in this environment and gradually you will begin to accept and love yourself without judgment.

Moment by moment acceptance will lead to daily acceptance, to weekly acceptance until you finally live in a life filled with love and acceptance for yourself and everyone else.
