A New York Feng Shui Bathroom....What NOT to Do by Feng Shui Long Island
As a Feng Shui Consultant in New York, I am asked many questions about Good-and Bad Feng Shui.  The clients in this home in Suffolk County Long Island New York had previously been advised by a Feng Shui Consultant to demolish an existing bathroom and build another---right in the KITCHEN area of their home.
Needless to say, I was a bit shocked to hear this.  And concerned.  The Energy of a Kitchen in Feng Shui is meant to nourish.  The Energy of a bathroom in Feng Shui … (15 comments)

feng shui advice: Follow Your Own Heart---Wherever it May Lead - 08/07/09 12:19 PM
Someone special gave me a plaque not long ago; a plaque with a quote on it.
 
I wondered if they bought it for me because they felt that’s what I’d done or because they loved the quote.  I keep it right in front of me and every day I see it and hope that someday it fits me.  Who I was and what I wanted to accomplish.
 
Even in New York, Feng Shui was not well known at ALL in 1996. I still have many people who ask me what it is.  I remember people thinking it had to … (19 comments)

feng shui advice: The Feng Shui Home---Feng Shui on Long Island New York---A Home in Roslyn - 07/20/09 01:53 PM
The Feng Shui Home-Feng Shui on Long Island New York-A Roslyn Home
As a New York Feng Shui Consultant, I am in different homes on Long Island, New York City, Queens, Brooklyn and beyond.  I love working with my clients to address Feng Shui issues that might be found in their homes.
The front door should not be directly opposite a staircase.  In many schools of thought in Feng Shui, when you enter one of these homes your energy will automatically "sweep" up.  We sometimes forget Energy is supposed to flow through a space, it is not supposed to struggle to … (15 comments)

feng shui advice: Feng Shui in New York: It's About RELATIONSHIPS - 03/01/09 02:45 PM
Feng Shui in New York:  Your Relationships and Blockages
As a New York City and Long Island Feng Shui Consultant, there is something I see quite often that is not always addressed.  Of course we assess a client's living or working space for Energetic Blockages to any areas of their life:  Money issues, Health problems and Careers to name a few.
What many couples DON'T realize is that there can be EMOTIONAL blockages as well.  Often times in sitting down and discussing the issues they are facing, you can actually see it reflected in their homes.  It's not always in the … (18 comments)

feng shui advice: Creating Our Own Road-Blocks - 01/02/09 04:16 PM
Creating Your Own Road Blocks
Whether it's a Feng Shui Process or anything else in life you want to create do you ever wonder if you're somehow standing in your own way?
We do everything we're supposed to do....we INFUSE our Energy into things we want to change, we make physical changes in our surroundings, we TRY very hard to keep positive thoughts and we sometimes find we are STILL NOT GETTING WHAT WE WANT.
Why IS that?  It seems to work for other people.....
I do tell ALL my Feng Shui Clients in New York to not just make changes … (29 comments)

feng shui advice: A Manhattan Feng Shui Consultants Wishes: - 11/26/08 02:51 PM
I am a firm believer in Counting your Blessings.  As difficult as things might be for some of you right now, look upward.  And say a prayer or a gratitude of blessings for all the truly wonderful things you have in your life RIGHT NOW. 
Someone always has things worse.  When we count our blessings, they mulitply.  It's not only the Law of Attraction and a Feng Shui belief, it also helps us maintain our focus on all the GOOD we have in our lives.
Tomorrow many of you will be truly Thankful.  It's a day to give Gratitude.  Wake up with … (30 comments)

feng shui advice: A Manhattan Feng Shui Consultant's Advice - 11/22/08 11:52 AM
  A Manhattan Feng Shui Consultant's Advice..... 
Although I practice Feng Shui in New York City and Long Island, I get questions from all over the United States.  I do many Feng Shui Consultations at a distance and have heard that some Feng Shui Consultants do not answer questions due to a shortage of time.  
I love to hear the interest in Feng Shui.  I also receive questions from believers and skeptics alike.
A recent question about purchasing a new home from a buyer made me pause.  Her question was whether I believed she and her husband should purchase this home-from a … (21 comments)

A Feng Shui Haunting on Long Island New York  
I've been reading many stories of Hauntings...it's Halloween, after all.  As a New York Feng Shui Consultant, I have seen my share of homes which my clients claim are haunted---and I never doubt them. ALMOST never doubt them....
Please note:  This is a True Story with a former client.  I am not showing pictures of his home or sharing his name or even his town out of respect for privacy. 
One day I received a call from "Sam."  He sounded like a very nice gentleman who lived on Long Island and was … (21 comments)

What I LOVE about being a Feng Shui Consultant in New York
I was tagged not long ago by the lovely Julie Neerings Julie Neerings~Lifting Hearts ♥ Building Dreams~Utah REALTOR®   to write about what I LOVE about my profession.  From Home Staging to Home Inspection to Real Estate Agents to Feng Shui Consultants I believe we ALL have a love (and in my case a bit of a fascination) with HOMES-and care very much about the PEOPLE who live in them.
Having realized through working in Wholistic Health that not only the Energy of your BODY but the Energy of your surroundings … (30 comments)

Feng Shui in New York--With a Side of Inspiration.
What an exciting journey life can be!  We were taught so many things growing up, to be polite, to respect others, to go to school and get good grades.  We weren't taught some very important things, probably because they are only learned through the school of "hard knocks."  I must have been absent that day but life lessons and challenges presented themselves and through the years I've learned how to (hopefully) best deal with this wonderful life gift we have been given.
Try some Feng Shui Inspiration on "those" days:

Feng Shui Question of the Week by Feng Shui Long Island & New York (Manhattan)
Whether it is my increased online presence due to Activerain or a heightened interest in Feng Shui (or a combination of BOTH!), I can't say.  I CAN tell you that I receive many emails each week asking questions about Feng Shui.
I have always made it a practice to try and respond to each and every person who took the time to write but have been finding it a bit overwhelming lately.  I thought of our own Katerina Gasset here on Activerain and a post that … (26 comments)

feng shui advice: What a New York Feng Shui Consultant MIGHT Recommend....by Feng Shui Long Island & New York - 09/02/08 03:49 PM
During a Feng Shui Consultation in New York my clients often want to purchase items that are considered auspicious for one reason or another in Feng Shui.  The Chinese and many other cultures have symbols they consider important to acknowledge or are considered lucky and while no ones home needs to end up looking like a Chinese Restaurant, I thought I would share some of my favorite items.  Some of these things I use personally during a Feng Shui Consultation and I also use them in my own home.  Please see the note at the bottom :)
*Please note:  These pictures … (26 comments)

Feng Shui and Pets:  Pure FIRE Energy by Feng Shui Long Island & New York City
I am often asked by my clients of Feng Shui in Long Island and New York about pets, sometimes prior to choosing one.  They wonder how or if it will change the Energy in their home.  If they feel things are going well, will it hurt them?  Or cause them to have better "luck."  I never know if I can never be objective on this because I love animals so much but I do tell what I have leaned not only in Feng Shui School … (21 comments)

feng shui advice: My CLIENT Just Saved Me $1,000!! by Feng Shui Long Island & New York City - 07/01/08 03:59 PM
And she doesn't even KNOW it, yet!  I am so grateful that I go on to become true friends with so many of my clients and this particular one is no exception.  About two months ago I did a Feng Shui Consultation at her beautiful home in  lovely Long Island, New York.  It is a very upscale town and the homes are spectacular. 
My client wanted to focus first on career.  Having left her old position (and accumulating several degrees in the interim), she felt that she would like to return to work.  It is a very specialized field and I'd … (20 comments)

feng shui advice: A New York Feng Shui Consultant's Thoughts--Predecessor Energy Pt. 2 by Feng Shui Long Island & New York City - 06/25/08 01:19 PM
Parapsychology.  What a fascinating subject it is.  When I first became interested in it I was at my local college, having enrolled in some psychology courses.  We had our breaks at the same time as the parapsychology class and I found THEIR discussions much more interesting then OURS.  The next year I enrolled and took two years of it.
The Rhine Research Institute used to have a place right here in New York City and I found it to be amazing using the strict controls and standards to measure such things as Telepathy, ESP, Psychic Ability, Remote Viewing (which was then called … (21 comments)

feng shui advice: A New York Feng Shui Consultant's Thoughts...by Feng Shui Long Island & New York City - 06/01/08 12:00 PM
It is that time of year again here in New York, both on Long Island and in New York City.  The time of year when graduations take place.  This year many new Feng Shui Consultants will be graduating and starting a new career....which sent my memory way, WAY back.
Feng Shui is so popular in New York it's not surprising that so many people are taking the classes.  Just like Real Estate Agents, Home Stagers or anyone else involved in one way or another with Real Estate, most new graduates, if not all, are making a HUGE commitment...to their clients and themselves. … (21 comments)

A Feng Shui New York Consultant Goes "Home" 
Back in 1996 a woman named Pamela Laurence worked in a wonderful Interior Design School, The Metropolitan Institute of Interior Design in Plainview, New York.  She had a foresight and a vision to create a school for Feng Shui in New York and put together the first School for Feng Shui Studies in the Country that was licensed and accredited. 
 
Students came from Florida to California and all points in between.  And Pamela provided us with the BEST Feng Shui Consultants in and out of the Country, learning all aspects of  Feng … (22 comments)

feng shui advice: Real Estate and Feng Shui: What You should know if you're a Realtor by Feng Shui Long Island & New York - 05/11/08 05:31 PM
 A Message to All My Realtor Friends on Activerain
 The year I was in school for Feng Shui Studies was 1996.  I don't know if any of us in that first graduating class knew what would come of Feng Shui, if anything.  At that time very, VERY few people had even heard about it.  Often, if they had, it was very misunderstood.  We ourselves didn't know if it would be a passing "fad" or something that people would come to know and believe in.
I don't believe ANY of us then EVER realized that Feng Shui would become so popular and … (17 comments)
