feng shui new york: Environmental Psychology and Feng Shui
- 09/04/15 07:01 AM
In 1970, Environmental Psychology was founded on three central ideas at the start of the 1970s.
1) The incorporation of the physical environment into psychology.
2) The adoption of field research that would operate outside of the laboratory, the received mode in psychology, where variables can be controlled and manipulated, to embrace the messy world of the everyday complex variables of people-environment relationships
3) Takes various perspectives for understanding the interactions of people and place, while embracing the policy and design disciplines that shape our environments.
3,000-6,000 years ago, Feng Shui was founded in the mountain regions of China based on the principles of Taoism

feng shui new york: Bringing Feng Shui Into Your Home Office

Bringing Feng Shui Into Your Home Office
ihomephoto.com
It is key to create clear boundaries of a work-life balance. Become diligent and discipline in creating work hours; not allowing distractions to settle in (FACEBOOK). Dedicate a room or space that anchors the energy of focus. Ideally, nothing but work related objects, arrangements, decor, etc is to be within that space.
I have had clients who "share" the space with their children and it created a lack of production, not to mention taking up of valuable work storage space.
The great news is that any room or even a space or nook can be transformed into a home office. The intention is to be able … (1 comments)

Pathway to Front door and Walking Inside (two tips in one paragraph)
Great Feng Shui inspired walkways leading to your front door are created in a meandering design. This relates to the energy flow of a gentle stream bringing momentum to your home and life.

- 08/02/15 11:30 PM
Do You Have To Feng Shui Every Nook and Cranny of Your Home?
Those who are new to Feng Shui assume you need to change every nook and cranny of your home or office in-order to welcome change. This is not always the case. Sometimes you just need a bit of tweaking, or no change.
No change? But isn't Feng Shui all about changing, shifting and transforming? It is, but even sometimes when implementing Feng Shui into your lifestyle the formula also calls for no change.
Naturally as time progresses, various sectors of your home will change, as you and your goals change. If you notice the energy of your home in … (9 comments)

feng shui new york: What I learned From Alaskan Native Knowledge, Heritage and Tradition
- 08/02/15 10:26 PM
What I learned From Alaskan Native Knowledge, Heritage and Tradition
During our visit to Alaska, we also made sure to visit two key educational location, The Anchorage Museum and The Alaskan Native Heritage Center. Both offer unique learning experiences and amazing displays of authentic clothing, traditions, dance and more. The Anchorage Museum is connected to the Washington D.C. Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian, which is also exhibits an amazing collection.
To start off, we learned at the Heritage Center, Alaskan Natives shared they do not refer to themselves as "Indian or " Native." That was the name the Russians projected onto them. Alaska was and still is settled by the Athabascan, Unangax & Alutiiq … (2 comments)

Fast Feng Shui Tips to Help Enhance Your Great Room

Be mindful of the ceiling height. When we have ceilings that are more than 9 feet tall, it can relate to energy rushing up and out. Adding cozy furniture, area rugs with patterns, and colorful artwork (to your liking) will help pull the eye back down and the energy grounded.
Consider having furniture that offers curved or rounded edges. This creates a softer energy and more welcoming feeling vs. sharp edges.
Choose furniture that fits the size of the room. Even pay attention to the texture of the furniture you choose. That … (2 comments)

feng shui new york: Try Not To Confuse The Meaning of Space Clearing With De cluttering

Try Not To Confuse The Meaning of Space Clearing With De cluttering
I recently wrote a blog post explaining What a Space Clearing. There were beautiful comments and short stories but I did notice some have confused Space Clearing with the physical action of de cluttering. Take out the physical discussion out of the conversation and just talk energy work, also known as metaphysical science.
In essence you are working with the "unseen"world, which could also be refereed to as Spirit or source, or really any term that relates to the practice of faith you follow. As shared in my previous post the art of Space Clearing has been practiced in ancient India, Egypt, … (7 comments)

What Some of My Clients Have to Say about Feng Shui Manhattan
Thank you so much Laura and thank you for your suggestions. I have to say that since the day you left I noticed certain things happening already. The day after I saw you I received Tibetan prayers in the mail from my friend. I found the perfect place for the dresser in my bedroom and the following day I found a missing mailbox key I had no clue I had and needed before leaving for my trip.
Thanks you so much again for being so supportive.
Love and hugs,

feng shui new york: What Happens To The Energy Of My Home If I Do Not Use All The Rooms?
- 06/22/15 11:11 PM
What Happens To The Energy Of My Home If I Do Not Use All The Rooms?
This is a great question and common in rural areas, such as Long Island NY vs. urban settings in Brooklyn, Queens and New York City.
Feng Shui takes into consideration the function of each room, as well as the atmosphere, arrangement of the space, goal and challenges of each client. If you come across rooms that lack occupation due to x, y or z reasons, it's suggested to "stage" the room as if it were being used.
Let's take a guest room for example. That space may not always be in use, … (3 comments)

Give Me The Bottom Line Of Feng Shui, I Don't Care About The Journey
"Give me the bottom line," is what some people like to focus on when implementing the practice of Feng Shui into their lifestyle. They want that fast remedy and quick fix. If that is your approach, and you are looking to create amazing changes in your life, it may take longer than you expect. Yet, each person is different so there is always the exception depending on various factors.
Feng Shui teaches us to be present, to be self-aware, aware of the dynamics we have with others and our environment to see that each change, thought, action, … (11 comments)

The Function Of Your Computer Can Teach You About Feng Shui
affordablecomputers.com
The beauty of Feng Shui is that it can be applied to everything. This also includes our electronics, fellow millennials. That's right, even our IPhones, Kindles and laptops can transmit metaphysical energy; besides electromagnetic frequencies.
Just as with "real" objects in our home, it's also suggested to reorganize or declutter files, documents, photos, etc that are no longer adding value to your computer. Naturally be wise with what you let go and always back your computer up; some side thoughts to share.
Consider this analogy; when you allow too many files from the past to linger on your computer, it begins to … (3 comments)

Motivational Monday: Keeping Up With The Millennials
As each generation steps into adulthood, a new perspective on life comes with it, as well as new vocabulary. I'm not sure who decides what makes a word "correct" or not, but at the end of the day, collectively we all creating words. I feel personally, its nor right or wrong, it just is.
For example:
The word "funner." I have been told many times, Laura that is not a word. Well, when I say it, people understand it so to me, it's a word.
Laura "Feng Shui-ied" and "Feng Shui-ing" are not words. I kindly disagree and present the foresight that they … (7 comments)

feng shui new york: Plants Have No Credence On How They Will Affect The Energy In Your Home
- 04/25/15 11:10 PM
Plants Have No Credence On How They Will Affect The Energy In Your Home
This was a statement in a Feng Shui article I came across not to long ago. Essentially, this statement is saying the energy of plants cannot be measured, because Feng Shui is not a science.
Is that true, that Feng Shui is not a science?
Looking at the rich history of where Feng Shui evolved from offers you insight into a blend of disciplines, not just energy work (shamanism). You need to know psychology, science, numerology, geometry, sacred geometry, and the list continues to grow as Feng Shui continues to evolve to align with the ever changing internal … (11 comments)

feng shui new york: Fall Out Of Line with What Others Want of You -Ascension Feng Shui
- 01/15/15 07:58 PM
Too many of us are so quick to fall in line with what others want of us (let that be family, friends, society). Have you asked yourself what you want ? Or more so, what do you need? This is your life, not theirs.
For me this has been an on going "battle" with certain people in my life. And that could be said for just about all of us, of course stories varying and characters changed.
Going against the "norm" and following your own path is no an easy journey. It scares others and it demands bravery and courage from within. Sometimes you … (12 comments)
