Chinese New Year 2009--Things you MUST Do! by Feng Shui Long Island & New York

The Chinese New Year 2009:  Feng Shui Advice from a Feng Shui New York City-Manhattan Consultant.

Things you MUST do to start YOUR year off RIGHT!

Posting about the Chinese New Year has become a Feng Shui Long Island and New York Consultant's Tradition.  The ENERGY of this time of year is magnified by many and very intense.  Here again are a list of things I do as a Feng Shui Consultant in New York City to ensure success for the coming year in ALL aspects of my life

I urge you to try them as well.  They are inexpensive and simple and they DO work!  The Chinese New Year in 2009 begins on January 26^th and lasts for 15 days.  You might even want to celebrate with a nice Chinese Dinner but book NOW-These festivities in New York City sell out FAST.

Remember, too, that ENERGY FOLLOWS INTENT.  In The Secret it is called the Law of Attraction, in Feng Shui we use the word Intention.  Here's to The BEST 2009-The Year of the Ox-for ALL of you!

 

• Pay down your credit cards bills or make an early payment.  Anything you can put to those bills show that you have every intention of paying them off as soon as possible.

*         A Few "C" Words:  Clean.  Clear the dust and the cobwebs from your space AND  your mind.  The very act of cleaning helps to energize your space. And start the year off with a new environment.

 *          Clutter-or DE-Clutter in most cases.  Remember the rule of thumb with Clutter                

                                IF YOU DON'T NEED IT, USE IT OR LOVE IT, GET RID OF IT. 

                                            Allow plenty of room for the new energy you are creating.

 

• Make some changes:  With the New Year and this very auspicious time, make some changes in your life or in your routines.  Take risks, start new plans, open yourself up to possibilities that you might never have dared to dream.  It's time to be truly open to changes that come your way---Look into EVERY opportunity that may come your way before turning it down!

 

     *     Add Fresh Flowers to as many rooms in your home as possible.  In Feng Shui,fresh flowers signify fresh ENERGY.  Remember to get some colors mixed in to help signify all the elements of Feng Shui.

 

• Add a bowl of fruit in your kitchen ( your area of nourishment and considered by Many to be the most important room in your home).  Fruit signifies ABUNDANCE in ALL Areas.  Create some for yourself this year and every year.

   

• Open the doors and windows as close to midnight or AT midnight if possible.    By Doing this you are letting in the New, Fresh Energy.

      

• Burn a candle if you are home-blowing it out just around midnight as well.  Send your intentions OUT and truly Celebrate this day....It is by many accounts, a New Day to start all over again.

• Try to resolve any "unfinished business."  Particularly, if you can make amends  with someone you've had difficulties with in the past.

         *     Make a Blessings List:  List All the wonderful things you Do have in your life  And all the things you have to be grateful for.

• This is the time to use Red Envelopes if you have them.  Fill 9 Red Envelopes With 3 like coins...3 nickels, Dimes or Quarters.  Place them in the WEALTH areas of your home according to the Bagua.  NOTE:  They do NOT need to show!

• Respect your Money.  Don't throw it back in your wallet or pocketbook, put it in order in your wallet. 
• Replace any burned out Light Bulbs.  Light up your space...and your life.

     *    This is a wonderful time to Smudge your home using pure, Native American   SAGE. If you have not done this in the last six months and are not allergic toSmoke, walk hrough EACH room of your house paying particular attention to                                   .          Corners where Energy can linger and become stagnant.

  **    You can also clear your home by

           Using SOUND techniques.  Ringing a bell or even chiming a spoon on a crystal Glass will accompliish this.

• Clean your mirrors. Your mirrors are a reflection of YOU.  You should see Yourself clearly so you can see exactly where you are going in life.

• A Special Note for your Home Office or Office Desk:  You can use Feng ShuiPrinciples on them as well to connect your home and your business.  An upcoming post will provide more information if needed.
• You're going to be making some changes in your surroundings right now that will have a huge impact on the coming year.  Please remember:  Simply making these changes will not be nearly as effective unless you put your INTENTIONS behind them. 
• FOCUS on what you really want in your life this year.  Every single time you make a change, keep in mind WHY you are doing it and what you wish to create.

                                                        HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!
