Unexpected Messages

Sticky

Messages are constantly being sent to us from our Loved Ones, Angels and Guides.

Are you paying attention?

Are you hearing, seeing and acknowledging them?

This story, shared with me by a client, is a fun demonstration of how messages (often in creative ways) are sent to us all of the time!

Gracie’s son, Max, was driving the family car and came home really frustrated. He complained that every time he turned the steering wheel towards the right, the car’s horn would honk. It was driving him crazy and he was embarrassed and said “I’m never driving that car again!”

Gracie took the car in to the shop to see what was causing the honking. What they found was surprising and led to big smiles and lots of laughter from Gracie.  (Hang in there…I’ll share what they found in a moment.)


Something important to know is that your loved ones (+ angels and guides) communicate with you in many ways. They send you SIGNS in the form of physical objects, songs, words (you see or hear), animals, scents and more. Dimes and pennies are often sent by loved ones to let you know they are with you or thinking about you. 

Communication from non-physical beings also comes through SYMBOLS that have meaning for you, such as a feather by your feet signaling you are on the right path or a rainbow symbolizing you’ve done a good job. 

SYNCHRONICITIES are another form of Divine communication. These are circumstances that line up in magical ways that cannot be explained logically, like when you run into an old friend unexpectedly or you open Facebook and find a post in your feed that inspires or motivates you. 

Often, these messages from Spirit and loved ones, come as a surprise or are unexpected. The important thing to remember is to be awake, aware and watch for these signs, symbols and synchronicities.  

When Gracie brought the car Max had been driving into the shop to find out what was causing the honking, she certainly wasn’t expecting a message from her dad.

After taking the steering wheel apart to determine the problem, the technician shared a video with Gracie showing her the honking culprit. What the video showed was that a dime had fallen into the steering wheel and that’s what was causing the honking!

Gracie knew this was a message from her dad (Max’s grandfather) who had died three years prior.
 
Just before the car started honking, Max had been awarded a college scholarship for football and Gracie knew, without a doubt, that her dad had dropped the dime in the steering wheel to congratulate Max! 

Every time Max drove the car, his grandpa was cheering for him. 

Honk, honk, honk! “Congrats on your scholarship Max!”

The truth is that Divine Beings are communicating with you and sending you messages every single day, all day long. So watch for them and share your stories with me and others to spread the love!

5 Tips to LOVE on Yourself NOW

Sticky

During this time of world crisis (the pandemic of 2020), it is absolutely vital that you LOVE on your SELF(S) and do things that are not only good self-care, but engage in practices that raise your energetic vibration. Why? Because that boosts your immune system!

I’m using the acronym SELFS to share these tips. I know it’s not a word! However, we have many aspects of our SELF in need of care at this time. So…without further ado here are my 5 Tips to Love on Yourself(s) Now:

1. Sage Yourself and Your Space

Sage has long been used by Native Americans and other indigenous people to clear negativity and for healing. But did you know that burning sage can actually reduce airborne bacteria?  Sage has both antibacterial and antimicrobial (stops or inhibits growth of microorganisms) properties.  A 2007 study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacol found “medicinal smoke caused over 94% reduction of bacterial counts by 60 min and the ability of the smoke to purify or disinfect the air and to make the environment cleaner” lasted up to 24 hours!

Watch this video for more tips on when and how to perform a Space Clearing or if you need help, let me know.

2. Enjoy This Moment and Yourself

What can you appreciate about this very NOW moment that you are in? What are you grateful for? Ask, what is great about this? As you appreciate and enjoy this very moment, you shift your focus.

Doing the things that bring you JOY and the things you really love to do is another great way to shift your focus onto the positive and raise your vibration. These can be simple things like petting a puppy or sipping a cup of tea. Or do something with your hands, like crafts, cooking, crocheting or painting rocks. You might even re-read a favorite book or call a friend who always makes you laugh or watch a funny movie. Anything you do that makes you smile is showing love for your self.

3. Look Forward to Something

Anticipation is a great way to show yourself some love, too. When you have your next vacation planned, you daydream about how it will feel to be there. When you do this, your mind and body relax and “act as if” you are already there. Having something to look forward to helps you navigate the here and now, especially if you’re in the midst of a challenge. If you need help planning something, I’ve got you covered –> Join me for the Maui Celestial Retreat in October 2020 to be pampered and loved for a whole week!

4. Feel Your Emotions

Don’t ignore what you’re feeling, especially if you are triggered by what others are doing or saying or if you’re feeling upset, anxious or worried. Feelings are natural and they are spiritual messengers for us. However, in order to receive their messages, we need to pay attention to them! So, do this right now….

  • STOP and notice an emotion you are feeling.
  • Take 3 deep breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth.
  • Next, scan your body. Using worried as an example, notice where is the worry in your body?  Where do you feel it most prominently?  Is it in your stomach… your heart… your head…?
  • Then observe the worry as if it were a physical object. What does it look like?
  • Breathe into it… and notice… what is the size and shape of the object? Does it have a texture?  Is it moving or sitting still?  What color is it?  Is it heavy or light? Is it hot or cold? Is it growing or staying the same size?

Just taking these few minutes to observe your emotion as an object will help you feel it. If the object moves around in your body, you can follow it. However, be careful to just observe it. And LOVE it! Love that worry and let it know that everything is okay.  Let it know that it can stay or it can go and either way, you will love it.

I have a deeper process that I do with my clients that can help uncover where the emotion is stemming from, but this will give you a good start in feeling your emotions.

5. Sea Salt Baths or Ocean Dips

Salt has clearing and cleansing properties too and is great for clearing your energetic fields.  If you live on Maui or an ocean accessible place, you can simply float in the ocean, nature’s salt bath. If not, soak in a tub of hot water mixed with 2-3 cups of sea salt and 3 tablespoons of baking soda.

Slide into the water so you neck is immersed and soak for 15 minutes.  You can do this anytime you are feeling weary (emotionally or physically) or if you feel like you are “coming down” with something like a cold. I have found when I do this, that often the cold never comes or it resolves much more quickly.  If you have body aches, you can add Epsom salt to the bath. I also love adding essential oils or flower essences and lighting a candle to create a spa experience as I bathe.

How Many Books Do You Have?

Standard

Do you even know? Are they scattered all over your house in different places?

I had 63 books. They are pictured here. Maybe that doesn’t seem like a lot. However, I have a small space so storing these books has become challenging. Plus, many of these books I was hanging onto don’t “spark JOY” so it was time, once again, for me to tidy and reduce them!

If you’ve been following my Declutter Challenge, we worked on BOOKS last week. And yes, I realize I am behind on my own challenge…lol. It is what it is. Whenever you get to it is perfect and the videos are all on my YouTube channel so you can do it at your own pace! Join the Challenge to get the guide & links to all the videos as they are released (plus bonus videos).

So far I have eliminated 27 books and last night I was having trouble deciding on several more. You see…I like the idea of books and LOVE to learn. My dad was really instrumental in cultivating my love of reading. He used to take me to the library every week and his mom, my grandma, actually helped start the library where we browsed for books. So… I have a strong attachment and love of books and therefore, find it really difficult to release books, especially if I haven’t read them.

I want to read all the books, I really do! And yet, I know I won’t.

The thing to remember about books is that they gave you joy when you purchased them or when they were given to you as a gift. You were probably excited about reading the book when you ordered or purchased or received it.

You might have even started reading the book and then never finished. And, if you’re like me, you might feel bad about that…because, you know, you like to complete things and these books are an uncompleted loop, an empty box that will likely never be checked off your never-ending “to do” list.

Or, maybe your mind is spouting “You never finish what you start” (which isn’t true BTW) or other such nonsense. Whatever thoughts are running through your head, SOmeTHING is preventing you from releasing books, which may have become a burden and are most likely cluttering up your space and your mind. (For more info on the energy of books watch Books Are Heavy Energy)

Shifting your thoughts, beliefs and perspective about books will help.

Some new thoughts to consider:

  • You experienced JOY when you purchased or received the book
  • You no longer need or desire this information
  • You received what you needed from the book (if you started it & never finished)
  • Someone else really wants/needs this book now so keeping it blocks their joy

Often, it’s helpful to look at the energy around the book, when you purchased it and why and perhaps why you haven’t read it yet. I’m sorry, but not having enough time is not a valid reason because you know if your favorite trilogy released the third book in the series you would find time to read THAT!

Be curious about why you have this book in your possession. Why did you buy it in the first place (if you did) or why have you kept it (if it was a gift)?  There are other questions that might be helpful in your decision-making process.

Questions to ask yourself to help you decide whether to keep a book

  • How long have you had the book?
  • Have you read it?  (I find it helpful to put non-read books in a separate pile at first)
  • Do you still want to read it or re-read it (if it’s one you’ve already read)?
  • Is the book a long-time favorite, inspirational or a good reference?
  • If the book was lost, would you buy it again?

Let’s get cracking and declutter those books! Step 1 is to gather all of the books from wherever they live in your home and put them in a pile. Include ALL of the books such as cook books, reference books, sentimental books, etc. Learn what else to do by watching the BOOK Declutter Challenge Video.

Lost in Fiji

Standard

It was 2011…

The bure I’m staying in for my last two days at Namale Resort in Fiji is called Tabua, which means whale’s tooth in Fiijan. (Bures are wood and straw huts, similar to a cabin.) This bure is huge compared to the tropical one I stayed in before Tony Robbins’ Business Mastery seminar began. It has an air conditioner, king size bed, a living room area with couches, a large bathroom with a lovely stone shower, a dressing area and an enormous deck. The ocean flows right underneath the deck and there are ocean views on three sides! Lush deep green foliage frames the expansive rolling water.

I’m sitting on the cushioned lounge with my feet up on a hassock and a glass of wine from the mini bar (back when I used to drink alcohol). The tropical sunshine dances on my toes and the smell of the flowering trees is heavenly. I’m so happy in this moment, I want to cry (happy tears).  It seems so unreal I want to pinch myself to make sure I’m not dreaming!

Side Note:
This is where I came up with the name of my business, Finding Your Fiji! I was sitting on the deck of that bure, thinking…this is my dream life! And I thought in that moment that I wanted to help others find and live their Fiji  (dream life)…thus Finding Your Fiji became my business name!

I dress for dinner in a sari and a sleeveless shirt. Even at night, it is always warm here (very much like Maui). I don’t need a sweater for dinner since the eating bure is open to the night air too.

My bure is the last one on the path and it’s now pitch dark. There is a light on the porch of my bure and lights on the main path, but no lights illuminating the winding dirt path from my bure to the paved main path. I contemplate calling for a cart and decide instead to walk to dinner and get a lift back afterwards. I also thought about bringing a flashlight (they have those and umbrellas in every bure). I decide I can find my way without it.

I head out with a light behind me on the porch and the knowledge there are lights on the main walkway. It is a beautiful tropical night and the warm air feels lovely brushing softly on my bare arms and legs.

I reach a point on the path when the porch light is no longer visible and the lights from the main walkway are not yet within sight. It is literally pitch black. There is no moon and I can understand in this moment what it would be like to be blind. I panic, wondering how I am going to find my way. Then I realize I can still feel the gravel of the path under my shoes. I can tell when I am straying off the path into the grass and am able to correct and get back on the path. Essentially, I can feel my way to where I want to go.

It is quite a long path, though, and now I’m angry. I curse the manager for putting me in this bure and for not putting lights along the path. I am more afraid than angry though.

What if I can’t find my way?

Finally, I see the lights from the main walkway and breathe a deep sigh of relief. Everything is going to be okay and I’ll be able to find my way to the dining bure now. Once on the main path, I enjoy the scents wafting from the tropical flowers and breathe deeply in the warm night air.

I spend quite a bit of time at the restaurant with fellow travelers, having drinks and engaging in deep conversation. When I leave to return to my bure, it is very late and there is no one at the reception desk to call for a cart for me. Charlie and Rance, with whom I’d been sharing a meal and conversation, walk with me towards the bures. Rance’s bure is first and then Charlie’s.

Charlie walks a bit further with me and offers to walk me to my bure commenting, “You have quite a ways to go yet.”

I decline his offer, saying “I think I can find my way.” I was too embarrassed to tell him that there are no lights along the path to my bure and I am honestly not sure if I can find my way in the dark.

I follow the paved lighted main path, taking a wrong turn a few times down a path to a private home. I quickly correct my route and get back on the main path. Thankfully there are a few signs along the way so I know I am heading in the right direction. There is a sign for the blowhole, a sign for the observatory deck and finally a sign for the spa. I know my bure isn’t too far past the spa and is the only bure after the spa, so it should be pretty easy to find, right?

However, after passing the spa I became confused. I knew my bure was to the right of the main path. I saw a lighted path to the right after the spa and followed it, coming upon a maintenance building at the end of the path instead of my bure. I turned around and went back to the main walkway. I thought, my bure must be further down.

Three times I went back down this lighted path. I wanted this lit path to lead me “home” to my bure and it didn’t. I knew my bure was down an unlit path, yet I somehow hoped that while I was gone at dinner, the path to my bure would magically be lit.

Back on the main path again, I walk to where it ends. There are no lights at the end of the path and it is very dark. Despite the fact that the path that continued did not feel the same under my feet (it was grassy instead of gravel) I continued walking. This grassy path led to one of the worker buildings and I thought briefly about walking up there to see if someone could take me back to my bure. I decided against this because I wasn’t sure they could even speak English.

I continued walking back and forth from the main path to this grassy path and still could not find the path that led to my bure. My palms were sweaty and my breathing was uneven. I was definitely worried now.

Will I ever find my way? Please, God, angels, momma, help me find my way! I begged.

Logic kicked in. I had a few choices. I could go to the worker building and ask for help. I could go back to Charlie’s bure and ask him to help me find my way. Or, I could find my own way. I made up my mind and became determined. I could and would find my way back to my bure!

I changed my attitude from helplessness to determination and started back towards the main path once again. I was still enveloped in darkness yet I was no longer afraid. I felt something different beneath my feet as I walked. The surface was more solid and I knew when I stepped on it that it was the gravel of the path that would lead me to my bure.

I still could not see as this path had no lights. However, the path ran parallel for a time to the main path so I could see a faint light from that path as I walked. Then, the path took a different turn so the main path lights were no longer visible. The pitch blackness surrounded me once more.

I was thankful I could still feel the solidness of the gravel crunching beneath my shoes. There were many twists and turns along the path. By feeling my way, I was able to continue moving forward towards my destination with confidence. As long as I felt the gravel under my feet, I knew I was heading in the right direction.

When the lights of my bure porch came into view, I knew I had made it. The way was easier. I could see now!

When I walked up to the door, I pulled out my key. Another challenge loomed. The light from the porch wasn’t strong enough to illuminate the keyhole. However, I was able to use my past experience to know that there were only a couple ways the key could fit into the lock. And, it wasn’t long before the key slid in and I turned it, opening the door. Exhaling deeply, relief flooded through me. I had made it! I had found my way in the dark to my destination!

The thing is, finding your path doesn’t have to be this hard.

I could have used the tools that I had (a flashlight that I didn’t take with me). I could have asked for help or accepted Charlie’s help when he offered to walk me to my bure. But I didn’t… Eventually I made it on my own, but not without a lot of stress,, worry and doubt. It took me a lot longer to find my way alone than it would have if I had asked for help or used the tools (a flashlight).

So…my advice to you is to be open to receiving help on your life’s journey.  You can learn tools that will help you navigate life with more ease and grace.  Spending a week with me on Maui will definitely be life-changing for you!  Join me in October and let me guide you and shed light on your path.

Do you know what’s really funny? The next day I discovered one of the light switches in my bure turned on lights for my path. The entire time I was walking in the dark, there were lights available to be turned on. I just couldn’t see them. The next night when I left my bure for dinner, I turned on the lights. Using the lights helped me find my way “home” much easier.

Speed Up the Law of Attraction

Standard

We all have the ability to manifest our desires. You have no doubt heard of  “The Secret” – it was a video and book published many years ago which brought to light that we all have this ability.  The truth is there are many secrets to manifesting your desires and to speeding up the Law of Attraction.

Have you ever wondered how other people seem to manifest things so fast?

A client of mine recently manifested a free trip to Hawaii almost instantly. She was participating in my Treasure Box Club where we had been focusing on increasing our abundance attraction factor through a powerful feng shui adjustment called the Treasure Box. She was thinking that she really needed to be by the water (she lives in the desert of Arizona). A few moments later she received a phone call asking if she was available to assist at a workshop in Hawaii, all expenses paid!!

Creating the reality you want to experience is so much fun and I love sharing my “secrets” about how you can do this yourself. These are not just concepts. These are strategies, actions and rituals that have worked for me and other people I know. The source of my knowledge is expansive: books, workshops, CDs, live events and interactions with others who have created their dream lives. I am continually learning and putting more of the pieces of the dream life puzzle together. Learning helps us grow and if you are not growing, you are dying.

The Law of Attraction is the senior law, above any other universal law including the Law of Gravity. To make the Law of Attraction work for you, you need to continually focus on feeling good – every month, every week, every day, every hour and every moment.

Feeling good should be your number one goal at all times.

How do you tell if you are feeling good? It’s easy!

You have a wonderful built in guidance system. It’s your emotions. You have a range of negative emotions – emotions that don’t feel good when you encounter them: worry, fear, anger, anxiety, sadness, irritation, impatience and doubt, to name a few. You also have a range of positive emotions, which feel good when they arise: anticipation, joy, happiness, excitement, peace, wonder, appreciation, gratitude and bliss.

How often do you experience bliss?

If you experience bliss on a daily basis, I would be willing to bet that you are living a good chunk of your dream life already.

How you feel is your Law of Attraction barometer. If you are feeling good, you know the things you most want in life are speeding towards you. If you are not feeling so good, you must accept that the things you want are being placed in a universal escrow. They will remain there until you start feeling good on a consistent basis. Then they will flow to you, like a virtual river of abundance.

So, how does this work on a daily basis?

All day long, it’s your job to focus on things that make you feel good or if you are feeling bad, on things that make you feel a little bit better and a little bit better until you are feeling good again. Use anything that works for you. For me, nature is my go to good feeling source. I find joy in looking at beautiful trees or basking in the sunshine, a pretty little bird that lands on my deck, flowers at the garden center, the scent of Lilac bushes or Plumeria, the feel of a warm breeze on my skin, a colorful sunset or even an expected sighting of a beaver or whale in the water on an evening walk.

When I meet or see people in passing, I focus on finding something I like about them…maybe they have eyes that are a unique color or I like the purse they are carrying or the shoes they have on or they have a great smile. When I see something I like and it’s appropriate to share, I tell the person directly. This not only makes them feel good, it creates a connection between us.  I also find this practice helps impress this person into my memory and that they, in turn, often remember me.

Focusing on feeling good is something you can, and should do individually on a daily basis. This practice alone will help raise your vibration. The higher your vibration or your energy, the faster you will attract the things you want into your life.

When people are connected in one room – physically together and sharing the same space – their energies or vibrations meld together and create another, more powerful and higher vibration. And, if the individuals in the group are all focused on feeling good and raising their energetic vibrations, it works like a nitro boost for the individuals, allowing them to attract the things they want at a faster pace.

In 2011, I attended three Tony Robbins’ events: Unleash the Power Within in March in Florida, Business Mastery in June in Fiji and Date with Destiny in Palm Springs in December. Saying that all of these events were high energy is an understatement. Tony has a real gift for raising the energy levels and vibrations of his attendees and for keeping that energy up for days at a time.

I took time out of my busy schedule to attend these events for a week or two at a time. Many people said they couldn’t afford to take that much time away from their business, especially those that are self- employed. Yet, my business boomed and I increased my sales by over $100,000 that year!

I learned some things that were helpful in my business and in my life. Honestly, though, I didn’t implement half of the things that I learned. I’m convinced it was more about getting that regular infusion of good positive, vibration-raising energy at regular intervals that year which gave my business that big boost.

Not everyone works for themselves or has the flexibility to travel to events like this for weeks at a time. Maybe money is an issue since you haven’t yet attracted the million dollar income you’ve been telling the universe you want.

So…how can you raise your vibration to start attracting what you want in your life?

Participate in high energy, high vibration groups (even virtually) on a regular basis.

2020 Year of the Metal Rat Forecast

Standard

The year of 2019, the year of the Earth Pig, was a difficult one for many. It was a year of inner work and reflection and also a pulling together of things, which for many was  preceded by a falling apart of things.

This new year of 2020 not only boasts a new decade, but it’s also fresh positive energy from the Chinese zodiac perspective. Opportunities abound this year and it will be a great year for businesses and promoting yourself! It’s time to reap the benefits of the work you have done over the past several years and also to plant new seeds for the next decade and new 12 year cycle. It’s a year for planning and for taking action on those plans. The possibility of experiencing abundance is available to everyone this year!

The 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac cycle through each of the 5 elements so there is a 60 year full cycle.  With the year of the RAT in 2020 we begin a brand new sign cycle. This is an opportunity for a fresh start. The actions and decisions you make this year set the tone for the next 12 years! From the Chinese zodiac perspective the 2020 “vision” year fits in perfectly with the fresh energy of the Metal Rat (metal being about focus and clarity and the rat bringing a fresh beginning.)

Each animal is naturally connected to an element and the RAT’s element is Water. This particular year we have a METAL RAT. Since metal produces water (think of the condensation on a metal water bottle that is not insulated), we have the metal energy feeding the rat’s natural element, which could mean a more peaceful year. However, 2020 is not a year to be lazy energy since the element of metal is about focus, discipline, refinement, structure, logic and honesty.

Looking at the personality of the Rat helps give us a glimpse of what’s in store for the coming year. Rats have a split personality. They are both Yin and Yang, having front paws with four fingers (yin) and back paws with five toes (yang). Further, each Chinese animal is associated with two hours of the day and the Rat’s energy is split since their hours span two days, going from 11pm – 1am.

Rats are introverts but also need to be around people. They can be bossy (they are the #1 animal in the Chinese zodiac after all…like Aries in the traditional zodiac). Rats aren’t given handouts – they have to scrounge for their food, which means you will need to put yourself out there and go after what you want this year. Rats tend to live in the moment and are devoted to their family. They are very detail-oriented, but they don’t like to work too hard so their success results from using their minds. They are quite adaptable and their best friend is the Ox with other friends being Dragons and Monkeys (this gives you a hint about who has a good year in store!)

Numerology Connects with Metal Rat Year Energy

It’s interesting, though not all that surprising that the numerology for 2020 echoes the energy of the Chinese zodiac year of the Metal Rat. This year is a 22/4 year which is quite powerful.  According to Louise Hay’s book, Colors and Numbers, 22/4 relates to greatness and the 4 by itself is about being practical, which connects very strongly with the energy of metal.  We haven’t had this powerful double energy in a year since 1919.

Things to do this year:

  • Work with others, in your community and focus on projects that benefit many
  • Build something, especially foundations
  • Be constructive (also means being positive and happy as you do your work)
  • Be productive and organized
  • Focus and pay attention to details
  • Work on big projects and follow a schedule for completion
  • Focus on self-discipline and using your mind
  • “Weed” and declutter your space, your mind, your life
  • Organize and care for your things: home, clothes, finances, etc.
  • Wear white, gold and metallics to tap into the energy of Metal
  • Be in harmony with the earth (spending more time outside, using eco-friendly products, giving back by cleaning up the planet)

Industries that will perform well in 2020 include:

Computers              Banking/Financial    Power Generation
Restaurants            Entertainment         Real Estate             Construction
Mining                    Insurance               Technology             Machinery

Challenged Industries in 2020 include:

Fashion                  Media                     Communication       Books
Shipping                Transport               Environment

Your Year – How it looks for you in 2020

Nobleman: A gift this year for those born in years ending in 5 or 9!!
This brings more support, protection, guidance, solutions and assistance this year – an added boost which will make this year a more comfortable one for you. This offsets a challenging year. It’s a great time to move, write a book, start something new or travel.

The energies described below are general energies. You can ALWAYS have a good year and this year of 2020 is ripe with opportunities for everyone!

Extremely Good Year:   Ox      Dragon      Monkey
It’s a good year for you to be more fearless… start a business, write a book,
make a move, start a new career/job as you have good energy behind you!

Neutral Year:       Rat      Tiger      Snake      Rooster      Dog      Pig
*Challenging Year:        Horse (this is your clash year)   Rabbit      Sheep     
This is a year to be more cautious, move more slowly, step back, don’t take
risks, lay low. You may still have a good year if you follow this guidance!

* Those having a challenging year will benefit from having an OX talisman
This can be a stone figurine, a necklace, a stuffed animal etc. and it is used to run interference between you and the rat this year. Ox are friends with the Rat and they will calm down the energy for you.  à Keep this talisman somewhere you will see it daily, like your dresser, bathroom counter, or desk.

Some ideas for Ox talismans:

Handmade Chinese 12 Zodiac Amulets Lucky charm (wood)
Chinese Zodiac Amulet Metal Coin Horoscope Lucky Charms (Ox) 
Chinese Ox Golden Resin Collectible Figurines Table Decor Statue  
Feng Shui 4″ Gold Money Bull ~ Ox Wealth Statue

NOT to:

  • Use knives or scissors
  • Cut or wash your hair
  • Clean your house or sweep
  • Gossip
  • Use negative words (complain or focus on what you don’t want)

Can DO these things:

  • Perform a blessing or ritual to bring positive energy into your space

  • Celebrate with friends and family
  • Do things you really love to do

Things to do BEFORE the Chinese New Year:
January 25th (Lunar New Year) or  February 4th (Solar New Year)

  • Put Flying Star adjustments for 2020 in place before Feb. 4th. If you haven’t had a Flying Star consult, book yours here!

Feng Shui can be confusing. Do you need help figuring out your Bagua? Do you want help determining what to do within your home to boost the power of your intentions for Health, Career, Finances and Relationships?

Sign Guiding Me To Maui

Standard

I knew that I was meant to move from Minnesota.

I had felt that for several years before the actual move. I originally thought I might move to California because I enjoyed the time I spent there during my GoldSwap business days in Sacramento and visiting family in the Los Angeles area. Seattle had also come up as a positive place for me in my Astrocartography. Yet my soul longed for a tropical locale…a place where palm trees swayed in ocean breezes and sunshine was abundant.

I had felt a strong connection with the Hawaiian Islands since the early 2000s when I first visited with my husband at the time. We purchased a timeshare on Kauai and visited Hawaii several times over the years both alone and with our young boys. We spent the majority of our time on Kauai but also visited Oahu and the Big Island. I was never able to arrange a timeshare exchange on Maui, which now looking back seems serendipitous.

I had been receiving nudge after nudge (little signs if you will) about moving to Maui, despite never having visited the island before. This was a huge step, a big leap of faith and I felt I the need for more reassurance from my Spiritual Team that this was my path.

I needed a sign.

I told my Team that if I was truly meant to move to Maui that they needed to give me a clear sign, something that would be ridiculously obvious to me and would confirm that it was part of my Divinely Aligned Path to move to Maui. I asked that this sign be something that I could not ignore.

And send a sign they did!

The very next day as I drove into my driveway after running some errands, I noticed a package sitting by my front door. It was December 8th and I had been receiving a lot of gifts in the mail as I was participating in a Secret Santa Sister gift exchange. The gifts were coming to me from friends of friends, many of whom lived out of state and none were people that I personally knew. Sometimes the Secret Santa sender would put a little note in the package, but more often the gift would arrive anonymously. Such was the case with the package I received that day.

The package was a typical brown shipping box and it felt light as I brought it into the house, excited to see what was in it. I set the box on my kitchen counter and used a knife to slice through the tape that secured the box shut. I pulled up the flaps of the box up. The sender had wrapped the gifts and placed them in the bottom of the box and then used a couple small handled shopping bags to act as a cushion for the gifts.

I pulled the first of the shopping bags out and set it on the counter next to the box. I was drawn to the color of it as it was a beautiful aqua blue, the color of the ocean and one of my favorite colors. As I took another look at the bag and read the store inscription on it, a big grin spread across my face and I thanked my guides.

They had sent me a sign that was so crystal clear I couldn’t ignore it. The inscription on the bag was Maui Divers Jewelry!! Having received this magnificent sign, I now felt confident that I was, in fact, following my Divinely Aligned Path in moving to Maui!

Life can be confusing. Do you need help figuring out your next steps or need guidance about something specific in your life? Do you want help determining what to do within your home to boost the power of your intentions for Health, Career, Finances and Relationships?

How to Shake Up Your Chi

Standard

Clients often share with me that they feel stuck or unmotivated or that they cannot shift a particular area of their life and as a result are feeling frustrated. Sometimes things were going well and then they suddenly feel they have hit a plateau. When this happens, I first recommend energetically clearing both their homes and offices. (For more information on Space Clearing, watch this video or find more information about Space Clearing here.)

Next, I look at how we can shift the energy in their space and their life. Shifting energy is which is what feng shui is all about!

In feng shui, chi refers to energy. Everything has chi or energy – physical objects, cars, homes, offices and even human beings. You may have heard a person’s personal energy referred to as their vibration.

When we are “in flow” our chi/energy is good and we are vibrating at a high level. You have experienced this when you “happened” to be in the right place at the right time or things lined up easily for you, without a lot of effort on your part.

Then there are times when things are not flowing. You may feel like you are moving through mud and perhaps cannot seem to get any traction. Or you may feel like you are not moving at all. You may, in fact, be energetically stuck.

If you’re feeling stuck or out of sorts, it might be time to SHAKE UP your CHI! 

There are many ways to shift out of this stuck place. One of my favorite ways is to shake up your chi. Shifting your chi or energy, allows you to see circumstances from a fresh perspective which leads to ideas and solutions that you cannot access from that stuck place.

The next time you’re feeling stuck, try one of these six ways to Shake Up Your Chi: 

  1. Try something new! Try a new restaurant or food, a new activity, a new experience, a new way of doing something or learning something new (take a class).
  2. Take a new route. Drive down a different road. Take a different route to or from work. Walk a different way. I remember walking the opposite way that I normally would go and saw so many things I never noticed walking the other way. For peeps in Maui, swim at a different beach or hike a new trail.
  3. Move your furniture around. This method shifts the energy in your space in a very real way. My landlord recently brought me different living room furniture and a different kitchen table and it totally changed the energy I felt in that space and opened it up too. Creating more flow by clearing walkways through your house helps too.
  4. Change up your routine. Do your daily activities in a different order, like getting dressed before you look at your phone or meditating, exercising or walking at a different time of day. You could also go in and out a different door (hello front door!), use different dishes – maybe even the fine china. Eat in a different room, like that dining room that is used so rarely. Even putting your right sock or shoe on first instead of your left can shake up your chi!
  5. Pick a random letter and call someone you haven’t talked to in awhile (thanks for this one Gary V). Talking to an old friend or a family member you haven’t chatted with lately can be a great way to remind you what’s important in life too.
  6. And, the ultimate way to shake up your chi?! Go on VACATION or on a RETREAT!!! Yes, it’s true! Changing your physical environment is a wonderful way to shake up your chi, especially if you are visiting a place you have never been or doing something you have never done before.

Comment below to let me know if you try any of these or what your favorite ways are to shake up your chi!  If you want to try #6, the Vitally You Retreat on Maui is the perfect opportunity.

Are Your Sink & Stove Arguing?

Standard

If you’ve been in my tribe for awhile you may have heard me say that your home both reflects and affects you. Everything is energy and the things in your home and the way they are positioned impact you.

How do you know if your sink and stove are arguing? 

Look at the placement of the sink and stove in your kitchen. If the sink is directly across from the stove, this is considered an “arguing” sink and stove. This is energetically challenging because it can literally cause arguing in or outside of the home. Many clients don’t mention arguing as an issue, but when I point out the arguing sink and stove and ask them, they agree that they do argue and often right in the kitchen between the sink and stove!  Once we remedied the issue, the arguing subsided.

There are two options for using Feng Shui to remedy this challenging situation:

1. Place a round rug between the sink and stove or place a rug in front of either the sink or stove that has a pattern with circles on it.

OR

2. Hang a crystal from the ceiling between the sink and stove. A 20 mm crystal is a good size. The crystal should be round and made with at least 30% lead (this has a balancing energy to it). The crystal should hang freely and can be hung with a 9″ red (lucky color) thread or 9″ fishing line. In Feng Shui the number 9 is auspicious and is about reaching new heights (and who doesn’t want to do that?!)

The round energy of the rug or crystal will disperse the arguing between the sink and stove and balance the energy in the space.

If arguing continues to be an issue after the adjustment is placed, please reach out to me as there are other circumstances within the home that can also contribute the energy of arguments.

I would also recommend that you energetically clear your space if there has been a lot of arguing in your home (either during or before you moved there, as in the case of a divorced couple having lived there prior to you).  Watch this video for instructions on how to clear your space with sage.

Your Stove Can Increase Wealth

Your Stove Can Increase wealth
Standard

In Feng Shui stoves represent wealth and abundance no matter where in the home they are located. This comes from the belief in ancient China that stoves represent wealth because that was the way you fed your family. The more burners you had, the wealthier you were because you could feed more people.  Stoves nourish the occupants of the space and friends and family who come to visit and share meals there as well.

You can boost your wealth and abundance using your stove by:

  1.  Keeping your stove clean – this shows respect for the nourishing aspects and attracts good chi or energy.
  2. Putting pots and pans away – we don’t want to dowse our wealth by covering the burners. If you have a tea kettle that you like to leave on the stove, you may choose one that is reflective or place it on a different burner each day.
  3. Use all the burners instead of just the ones in the front – activating all of the burners will bring more abundance to you, like firing all the engines in a jet gives it more power.

Stove Placement

Another energetic challenge I see in many homes is the location of the stove. Many stoves are situated so that the person cooking has their back to the room. This is a challenge because then you are not in the “command” position of the space. This can lead to feeling unprepared for what is coming at you in life and being surprised by what unfolds.

To remedy this situation, I recommend placing a mirror or reflective surface behind the stove. This adjustment is powerful for 2 reasons:

  1. It allows you to be prepared fro whatever happens in your life (and to see what and who is coming up behind you) and…
  2. It effectively doubles your burners and therefore doubles your wealth!

Powerful Feng Shui Stove Adjustment
This adjustment will really give your abundance a boost and activate your wealth!

For 9 days in a row, turn on all the burners on your stove on high for a few seconds until they are bright red. While they are lit up, visualize abundance in all forms flowing to you. The intention to attract more abundance and wealth into your life is the most important part.

Let me know what happens and what forms of abundance you attract into your life as you do so!
