The power of Communication by Feng Shui Manhattan and Long Island - 08/31/12 09:04 PM
The power of Communication by Feng Shui Manhattan and Long Island
We are constantly communicating, whether it be verbally, visually, by touch or energetically.  Signals are always being transmitted in some form or another.  The most precious time to learn about communication is when we are the most absorbent and open as children. 
This is the time that will set the foundation for our core being of development as a person.  I thank the universe everyday for the communication my mother and I had once I came into my early teen years.  She was 100% open with all topics, domestic questions, … (5 comments)

Treat every room within your home with TLC by Feng Shui Long Island NY - 08/31/12 08:34 PM
Treat every room within your home with TLC by Feng Shui Long Island NY
 Please keep in mind that every room within your home is just as important as the next.  Many times people feel if they never use a particular room, it's okay to ignore the arrangement or even how they store items within that location.  Be mindful of that thought.  Remember, every area of your home mirrors a section of your life. So be sure to give each room the same TLC as the next.

"I noticed at one point in my life that my friends were more interested in going to parties and bars than they were willing to listen and learn about wealth, success and business success." - Steve Warrene
If you look carefully at the state of your life, you might notice, if you are very unmotivated to move in energizing directions in your life that it may have a lot to do with the friends yo keep around you. Misery may love company, but often, so does success!

Happy Birthday to the King of Pop Michael Jackson from Feng Shui LI

No one can deny the power and influence Michael Jackson had on the world when it came to music and natural rhythm.  He was a perfectionist when it came to writing and composing his work. Every note, beat, sound, dance move and word needed to be absolutely perfect.  Michael Jackson also made sure to include lessons and messages into his songs, which we have lost in today's 'music.' Except for a handful.
Thank you, Michael for transforming the sound of music the way we move our bodies. … (0 comments)

Feng Shui literally translated to “Wind and Water” is an ancient Chinese art and science which spans back some 5,000 -6,000 years. The purpose of Feng Shui is to align ourselves in both a balanced and harmonious way in accord with the energies of where we live and work.

"Feminine form of the Late Latin name Laurus, which meant "laurel". This meaning was favorable, since in ancient Rome the leaves of laurel trees were used to create victors' garlands."
For those who recall, the name "Silvia," also from Rome translated to "woodland" or "belonging to the woods." … (3 comments)

After those times we start to slow a bit.

Often we see people make it in life who we somehow feel we are smarter or more talented than. Why did they make it and you didn't? It might be tecause they're wiling to faill until they succeed. It's weird, I know, but my life has taught me that failing  can be the key to many people's success.

Blending Naturopathic Medicine and Modern day Medicine by Feng shui LI

NEWS 12 long Island recently presented a segment about the findings of Chemotherapy hurting healthy cells in cancer patients and reducing their chances of developing stronger natural immune systems in fighting cancerous cells. Basically the studies say Chemotherapy is poison. This is probably the first time I have actually heard a news channel openly report this fact, so thank you.
Choosing to incorporate 'alternative' forms of healing into your treatment plan can only increase your chances of recovery, but still many are skeptical.  Yes, you need to work with … (2 comments)

Which front Entrance should I use?  by Feng Shui LI

In the past two days I received phone calls from Youtube viewers asking the same question.  "I have two main entrances leading into my house, which one should I use when laying out my space according to the Ba-gua?" This can be a tricky set up but if you follow the Feng Shui principles and your own intuition, all will fall into place.
The above diagram illustrates a Harlem NY brownstone apartment layout.  … (7 comments)

Lucky Cat Pow-wow by Feng Shui Long Island and New York - 08/09/12 04:07 AM
Lucky Cat Pow-wow by Feng Shui Consultant Laura Cerrano

The other day I heard great news from a recent Brooklyn NY client about a huge career change.  In a playful way my client asked if I could have a lucky cat pow-wow.  I took his written intention placed inside a red envelope, placed a candle (to help ignite his vision) and some sage to help carry out his intentions to the universe and placed on top of the red envelope. 
All four lucky cats represent all 4 directions and each one beckoning in his intention for success

What's Going On? by Feng Shui LI and New York City Consultant

We all have been hearing and seeing the News around the world and in our backyard about brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers and friends being killed by careless, selfish acts of hate for life. It seems when one person chooses to go on a rampage of unthinkable actions a chain reaction erupts.  I believe the statistics say 35 people are shot everyday, that is a pretty sad fact. 
At the same rate, I have been encountering a number of individuals who say very negative comments about various groups of … (8 comments)

Motivational Monday: Are you prepared for your future?
"By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail. " ~Benjamin Franklin
Feng Shui says to review your past in order to gain insight into your current life situations which will help you prepare for the future. Many times you will hear spiritual leaders speak about living in the moment, which is excellent advice.  But sometimes this message becomes misinterpreted.  Living in the moment does not mean make foolish choices because you have 'one life to live,' it means the choices you make today create the paths for tomorrow. 
Remember your thoughts … (5 comments)
