The Chinese New Year 2010: Tips and Advice from a Feng Shui Manhattan NY Consultant

The Chinese New Year 2010.....A Feng Shui Consultant's Thoughts on what you can do to have your BEST Year EVER!!

As in interest in Feng Shui in New York and many other Cities grow each year, so does my annual post on what to implement in YOUR business plans for the coming Chinese New Year.  I believe if I had started out with a long list in 2006 when there was little interest or belief in Feng Shui, you might not have taken the suggestions.

For you Clutterbugs out there, if you're ever going to clear up and clear out, THIS is the time to do it!  We're concentrating on doing everything we can to help ourselves have a wonderful New Year that is predicted to be difficult for many.  These Feng Shui Tips and Advice aren't difficult, don't cost much money and (best of all!), they're nothing that both Feng Shui Long Island NY and Feng Shui Manhattan don't do ourselves.

Here's the rest of the list:

Clean your mirrors.  You always want a true reflection of you so you can see yourself (and life) clearly.

If you can, wash some key outdoor windows.  Truly letting the outdoors in creates a yin/yang for balance in your home during the day and at night.  Seeing clearly means exactly that:  You need to see things the way they are to deal with them.

Put out a Bowl of Rice:  Many of my clients from different cultures and beliefs put out a bowl of food for the year; most use Rice as it grows in Abundance and is used for such special events such as Weddings and Blessings.  It signifies you will have more than enough of everything you need for the year!

Burn a candle on the Eve as close to Midnight as possible.  Think of ALL your Intentions and what you want to Create for the New Year and Infuse your Energy into those thoughts.  Whoever thought of this for Birthdays must have known something about Feng Shui!

Finally, open your Front Door (The Mouth of CHI where ALL good Energy enters) and some windows just after midnight or early the next morning.  I KNOW it's cold but you're allowing the New Energy to flow in at the most Auspicious Times.  It sweeps through the house and intensifies everything you have done to ensure your BEST possible year EVER!

That's it; nothing really hard or difficult and very little to purchase but you have sent plenty of good intentions out there and they are sure to come back to you.  Remember that Feng Shui is many things but it is also a LIFESTYLE.  It is the way you choose to live and what you send out.  It's one of the key issues in Feng Shui and almost never mentioned.  Live a good life.
