Having taught the concepts of energy as they relate to one's environment for the past eighteen years, I've often fielded questions as to whether or not I am employed by Southern California Edison. "No, not that type of energy. I'm speaking of the energy closer to home."
The earth is constantly and consistently vibrating at a measurable frequency. The effect these vibrations have on you is what I am most interested in sharing and teaching. In order for you to relate, understand, appreciate and honor others, you must first offer those same considerations to yourself.
Being from the South, I often heard the phrase, "Just because you go and stand in the garage, doesn't make you a car." Damn good thing. Likewise, applying the methods of Feng Shui to your environment doesn't assure your own balance.
In order to have an awareness of your life, you must be willing to perform an honest internal inventory. How do you relate to others in a social setting? How do you perform at work? What is your approach to defending your core values? How do you approach the intimate relationships in your life?
Taking stock of how you move through life and truly understanding it is a great first step to self-knowledge. Once the work of your own movement is complete, then you can begin understanding how you relate to others.
Balancing the various areas of your life include looking at your reputation, your love life, your creativity, mentors and travel in your life, your career, your approach to self-knowledge, your health and family as well as your wealth. At the center of all this is YOU.
Working on your life takes a concerted focus and approach. It may seem a bit daunting to keep all plates spinning simultaneously - the trick is in knowing when and how to work on them in harmony.
The exciting possibility of Feng Shui and grasping its teachings is that once you understand your own energy, you can learn how to control your reactions. You no longer are subjected to the adage, "It is What it Is." Guess what? It doesn't have to be.
