Are you creating Synchronicity in YOUR life?

By
Home Stager with Feng Shui Manhattan Long Island #888

I don't believe in just luck but I DO believe in synchronicity....things fall into place, everything works out the way it should and keeps on going.  I am fortunate enough to be in that right now.  In part of post I had up recently, it was mentioned that on my "accomplishment wall" was a picture of Paris.  I've never been there and have been wanting to go for more years then I can remember.  And it was "never the time," there was always something in the way.

I booked that trip scheduled for August less then a week and a half ago.  Finally!  I had actually covered my bills (did you DO that??) and have been working often and with wonderful clients.  I decided it was time and I could finally afford to go.  I book my weekend consultations kind of far in advance as it's usually the only time my clients are home and had one scheduled in Manhattan today this morning.  I knew the gentleman had an accent but didn't know what it was.

I got to my appointment at 10:30 on the upper East Side.  I haven't been there in a while and forgot how nice it is there.  I have been in many apartments in The City but this literally took my breath away....the 29th floor and views that I have never seen unless I was in The Rainbow Room or Empire State Building.  And he's an artwork collector, there were beautiful pieces of incredible artwork all over the apartment, a 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom.  He was a wonderful client and as soon as he started talking, I realized what the accent was--FRENCH!  He gave me a bit of a background on the apartment and lives 6 months of the year in New York City and 6 months in PARIS! 

I am wondering today who got more information today, he or I (?).  And while I always believe in Intention, The Law of Attraction and Sychronicity, it never ceases to amaze me what you can actually draw into your life....Years and years ago I though your destiny was "already in the stars."  Not anymore, now I believe YOU create it!

Thank you for posting this. It is wonderful that you are "in the flow," and that life is unfolding in such exciting ways.

It sounds like you were a bit star struck by your client. He is probably a fascinating guy. I do have a question that goes to your expertise. Is there a cure for when the stairs to the second floor, where all the bedrooms are, is in a direct line with the front door? I run across this problem occasionally and wonder if their are any acceptable solutions.

Hi, Deborah, thanks, it is still amazing to me that you do attract back the very things you send out!

Wayne, I think that apartment was set up to WOW people and it certainly had an impact.  He also liked the fact that I knew about artwork and have a real appreciation for it. And was more than happy to answer a few questions about his favorite city for me!

 In answer to your question, people don't like to have the stairs right in line with the front door as there is an energetic "sweep of energy" from a Feng Shui perspective right up the steps.  Things we use vary to deflect from this:  If the landing downstairs is wide enough you can add a heavy planter or vase (stops the energy from flowing up quickly).  Some people hang a crystal from a Black Sect perspective from the bottom of the staircase hanging from the ceiling.  A 40mm would be a good size and doesn't really show if you hang it short enough...they are also used to delflect and move energy.  Another method is to use artwork on the wall leading upstairs, it deflects the eye from the sweep.  Some people put a mirror at the top of the staircase and that is in many books....I don't like it.  I personally think it intensifies the sweep (even if you don't "feel" it).  I hope that helps.

Hi Carole !

Paris ! How exciting! A wonderful story...thanks for sharing it. The synchronicity was amazing !  This happens to me so much too that I long ago became immersed in a place of constant awe at the way the universe works.

I think you would really enjoy The Power of Your Subconscious Mind by Joseph Murphy....have you read it ?

Jo-Anne, Thank you, I haven't read it but it does sound like something I would like...I am going to Borders anyway and will see if they have it; thank you so much for the suggestion!

I picked up a copy at the library after I had read another book on the subconscious mind called The Wisdom of Your Subconscious Mind.  The Wisdom of your SM is now out of print and I ended up finding a used copy through Amazon.ca however The Power of Your Subconscious Mind is still being printed, I believe.  I don't know about the link that I gave you to it...I just noticed it says something about the 'original' version. Hmmm....also, I never buy e-books...I prefer to have the real McCoy in my hands  (can't spend ALL of my spare time in front of a
monitor..lol ) .

Jo (oh btw, this whole subconscious mind thing started when I read Blink .  It was quite interesting but I prefer the other two more )

Thanks Carole. I was under the impression, from some real estate buyers,  that this was such a serious defect that it couldn't be cured. Now I can at-least suggest that there is a cure. I doubt if I can change their mind though! Where is the best place to buy this crystal? Is this different from a faceted crystal sphere?

Carole, I loved this post. Great that you are finally going to Paris! I don't have a trip planned right now other than I might like to go to Scottsdale in the winter. If you ever want a Kentucky trip I can be your tour guide!

HI Wayne, There are Western methods we have used (with great success and for very little money) that we find almost nothing that can't be adjusted to change the flow of energy.  Actually, the worst problem I have seen in when the number 4 is on the house.  "Four" in Chinese sounds like their word for "death" and they won't even consider it.  Round crystals have a hole through the top and are cut in 9" increments of RED string or ribbon, hung from the bottom part of the staircase in the center. 

Jo-Anne, I am going to check Amazon.  Funny that you mentioned that, I have a credit there anyway from my credit card :)  All those books sound like I would be interested in them and I really thank you for letting me know about them!

Lizette, I have been to Scottsdale but made the mistake of going in the summer.  Get up to Sedona if you're going to be so close, it is truly a breathtaking place!  I have never been to Kentucky and I would absolutely LOVE a tour guide so don't be surprised if I show up on your front door one day....like a Robbin. BTW, the SAME applies for New York City!  This is one great town and I think I know most of the BEST places!  You might want to consider coming here.  I have a pullout and a private bathroom and am only an hour from the City.
