I believe we ALL have some Intuition. This isn't to say that we always USE it or even acknowledge it, but it's there none the less. The more you choose to ignore it, the less it will come. There is something called ‘Intuitive Feng Shui.' Some Feng Shui Consultants practice by this method only, they use their intuition to guide the changes they feel a client should make.
And some clients have it as well, though they are often unaware of it. When I am speaking to a client prior to a consultation I will always ask what they know of Feng Shui. I want to be able to explain the methods I have found to be most effective and make sure that is the type of consultation they are seeking. Oftentimes they will tell me they aren't familiar with it at all but are interested in learning more about it and having a consultation done.
I TEACH my clients Feng Shui while I am doing the consultation whether I am in their space or on the phone for a distance consultation. I have always believed that knowledge is power and I can arm them with enough principles and information that instead of having to call me first for their home and then for their office, they will be able to use that new found knowledge and implement it in another space. It empowers them and encourages them and often will bring out their own intuition.
Although it's not happened many times, it has happened that I've walked into a client's home and saw a place where I would have thought Feng Shui principles were already applied. Yet these lovely people have never even read a book about it. I will see a balance of the elements, a beautiful flow of furniture placement, ornamental features that indicate finances in their wealth section or partnership items already in their relationship areas. It still amazes me and even more importantly, it amazes them. When I ask what caused them to place a certain item somewhere or choose the paint colors they've chosen they often answer "it just FELT right." I also happen to notice these are not the clients that are calling me because they are having any particular issues but rather just because they have an interest or want some knowledge of Feng Shui.
I often advise people to make some of their own changes for this reason. We ALL have our own Intuition and we all know what makes us FEEL good. One small change can lead to another---and another. I don't believe in the "scare" tactics that have come along in the last years; if you make a "mistake" you'll likely know it and change it back.
New Years call for new changes. While you're thinking of all your marketing ideas, think of the impact of your surroundings and what you can do to change them. You might just find a bit of your own Intuition and start creating things you've only dreamed of!
