Feng Shui in Long Island New York:  How DO you Attract the Helpful People?
 
As a Feng Shui Practitioner in New York, something I ALWAYS address with Client’s is their HELPFUL PEOPLE AREA.  In all my years of practicing this lovely art of ‘Mindful Placement,’ I have always found this particular area to be the most effective in beginning to change the Energy in a Space, whether it be a home or a business.
 
We’ve ALL got some wonderful Helpful People in our lives.  Some of us have many while others only a few; it doesn’t matter because in … (22 comments)

A Feng Shui New York Consultant's Advice on a Home Office
In Feng Shui, how DO we set up a home office to help follow Feng Shui Principles?
Many of us do quite a bit of work from home.  We use the Internet for so much:  to grow our business, write blogs, create listings if you are a Realtor, show pictures of Before and Afters if you are a Home Stager.  In Feng Shui"talk" the internet is where we GET OUR NAME OUT TO THE UNIVERSE.
I am also asked about proper placements in a home office.  Here are some suggestions … (22 comments)

Feng Shui New York-Ceremonies and Blessings
Practicing Feng Shui in New Yorkcan sometimes be a challenge.  As a Feng Shui Consultant who travels to New York City-Manhattan, Queens and all over Long Island I am sometimes asked by my clients what the purpose of a "Blessing" is.
In Feng Shui Blessings or Space Clearings can be non-denominational.  They don't go against any faiths or beliefs.  Or they can be done in the Black Sect Method---this is something that is ALWAYS discussed with the client.
We honor all beliefs and practices.  So what's the purpose?  Some Feng Shui Consultants simply call them … (15 comments)

feng shui nyc: A Feng Shui New York Feng Shui Consultatants "Find" by Feng Shui Long Island & New York - 09/01/08 04:18 AM
As a Feng Shui Consultant who is often in New York City - Manhattan - giving a Feng Shui Consultation, I often come across things I never would have seen.  For example, walking back to Penn Station from a Feng Shui Consultation in Midtown Manhattan, I came across a small park....devoted to Katharine Hepburn (more pictures in an upcoming post).  No matter how long you live here or how often you visit New York City, there are always things you miss.

feng shui nyc: The Law of Attraction and Energy Healing in Feng Shui by Feng Shui Long Island & New York City - 06/23/08 01:12 PM
Feng Shui and The Law of Attraction
Many of us are so much more in tune with Energy then ever before.  No doubt that "The Secret" made a huge difference in many of our lives already and continue to do so.  Suddenly, we "got it."  There IS a ‘Law of Attraction' and many of the things we thought we had no control over, we actually DO.  What an uplifting and positive message and huge impact it made for many of us.
I got my "moments" of understanding while working at a Wholistic Center years ago.  Downtrodden people who were ill....and sent … (29 comments)

feng shui nyc: Walking in to GET a Job...and Coming Home with TWO: Feng Shui Consultations in New York City (Manhattan) - 06/19/08 03:35 PM
As many of you know, my daughter Laura Cerrano has been a Feng Shui Consultant in New Paltz for the last several years.  After studying and going to client's homes, businesses, apartments and offices as well as studying with experts in the field of Feng Shui, she has been doing Feng Shui Consultations in New York City and Long Island.

I am thrilled and so is she.  She needed confidence to step out and do it on her own and she's finally gotten it.  But she has other interests and loves as well.  She recently became a Certified Personal Trainer … (27 comments)

feng shui nyc: 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)

feng shui nyc: What are YOU Missing? Or do you Have it ALL? by Feng Shui Long Island & New York - 05/19/08 02:31 PM
 What I Don't Have:
The nicest house on the block.  

A new, fancy car.
Lots of money.                   
A really well kept lawn.
Trendy, designer clothes.
Any fancy new gadgets that most people can't do without.

What I DO Have:
Two terrific "kids" that manage to be around for me.

My precious Mother who always encourages and supports me.
Some unbelievable friends that I couldn't live without.
A job that I absolutely LOVE.
A House.
A Car.
Enough to eat 
Enough to pay my bills.
Lots of JOY.
It's easy to stay focused on things we are lacking … (32 comments)

feng shui nyc: Greet with a Handshake--Leave with a Hug... by Feng Shui Long Island - 05/17/08 03:54 PM
I KNOW I'm not the only one this is happening to.  When I think of my Feng Shui Consultations and know I am meeting someone for the first time, I remember all the things I have to go over with them to give them the very best help.  It shouldn't surprise me after so many years of doing this wonderful work that there is one thing almost all my clients have in common:  I will meet them with a handshake and three short hours later, leave with a hug.

It's a wonderful feeling.  In that short time we have already … (26 comments)

feng shui nyc: 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)

feng shui nyc: A BILLION Dollar Home--And it's based on New York Feng Shui! by Feng Shui Long Island New York - 05/01/08 12:07 PM
Feng Shui in New York.....Apparently The Mandarin Hotel hit a home run with Nita Ambani as well.
I thought this was interesting enough to pass along.  Especially since the economy is not at it's best at the moment.  Custom homes are one thing, but THIS is the world's first BILLION dollar home---and it's built on the principles of Vastu.
The lobby of The Mardarin Hotel in New York City (Manhattan).
Vastu and Feng Shui have been intermingled for years as many of the properties and the ideas behind it (such as The Elements and The Energy) remain the same.  Vastu is at least as … (23 comments)

feng shui nyc: The "Business" of Feng Shui.............by Feng Shui Long Island, New York - 04/20/08 02:03 PM
Years ago (and yes, still today on occasion) I will do a Feng Shui Consultation for someone for free.  There are people that contact me that have very sad situations in their lives and simply can't afford to pay for one.  Not being the "business-person" I should have become years ago and believing so strongly that Feng Shui CAN and WILL help them, I will do a full consult and not charge them.
Otherwise I charge what I believe to be below the regular "going rate" so that people from all situations can afford them.  For that reason I may find … (14 comments)

feng shui nyc: Schedules: Are They OURS to Make? Or do they take place when they're Supposed to? By Feng Shui Long Island - 04/01/08 03:40 PM
What I thought I had planned for March did not at ALL work out....and I am more then a bit surprised by all the unforeseen events that occurred.  If anyone had asked me, I could have told them EXACTLY what I would be doing and where I would be on a certain day....or so I thought.
It occurs to me that we set schedules and dates and times with the best Intentions, which doesn't mean they are on OUR timetable.  I was completely booked through the month of March and thrilled about it.  I put careful planning into each date and time … (17 comments)

feng shui nyc: What role does DESTINY really have? by Feng Shui Long Island, New York City - 03/24/08 02:33 PM
I think often of the word "Destiny."  I sometimes wonder how much is really ‘written in the stars for you' and how much free will we have over each and every decision.  I believe we can always change the course we are on, but should we?  Are some things absolutely MEANT to happen?  And shouldn't we allow them to occur?
If you know me at All you know I don't believe in coincidences or accidents.  Funny thing is, I never really did; this did not come after some revelation in my life, it was rather just the way I believed things … (24 comments)

feng shui nyc: COINCIDENCE? I don't THINK So! by Feng Shui Long Island - 02/19/08 03:03 PM
I believe in the power of words.  I believe every single thing you write that is posted on the Internet represents you.  I have many of my thoughts and ideas through articles and blogs on the Art of Feng Shui and my beliefs about it as I have been posting for years.
I also believe people can either connect with you through your words or realize that you are not the person for them.  Oftentimes something just strikes a NERVE with something you write and a potential client finds it and feels compelled to call you to discuss the possibility of working … (25 comments)

feng shui nyc: A New York City Day--Take a Walk with Feng Shui Long Island - 02/17/08 01:50 AM
A PERFECT New York City Day....When I can, I love to add pictures.  Yes, Rod Stewart was right, every picture tells a story.  I had written about that beautiful, spring-like day we had in January and showed several pictures of Central Park.  What I didn't realize at the time was how many people LOVE that park and some have some very special memories there.  This post is just a walk up to the Park but I am going to add more photos of Central Park to enjoy. What exactly is it that a Feng Shui Consultant loves about New York City?  … (32 comments)

feng shui nyc: The Chinese New Year, 2008 is Coming! What YOU should know....by Feng Shui Long Island - 01/18/08 03:30 PM
We will be ringing in the New Year on February 7th, 2008.  The CHINESE New Year, a very Auspicious Day for many.  Every year I do a special mailing and strongly suggest to my clients that they follow the relatively simple things on the list I've provided....and every year I get the most wonderful feedback from them; they believe doing these simple and inexpensive things have helped and so do I.
Because I am adding to the list this year, I am putting this post in parts.  (Believe me I've read enough posts telling me to keep it short and to the … (77 comments)

feng shui nyc: Something's Coming....Can You FEEL It? by Feng Shui Long Island - 01/11/08 04:07 AM
Something's Coming; I don't know WHAT it is but it's gonna be GREAT!  Some of my favorite lines to a favorite musical is what comes to mind today.  I woke up this morning with absolute joy in my heart but don't know or recognize the source.  In sharp contrast to the weather today, which on Long Island is cold, rainy and just gray, I feel completely the opposite.  And I don't know why.
It's one of those rare days we all get from time to time and I wish they came more often.  It's a combination of hope, belief, happiness and pure … (28 comments)

feng shui nyc: Exploring Feng Shui and Vastu Altars by Feng Shui Long Island - 01/08/08 03:30 PM
 
Many of us use Altars.  Some are for religious reasons (my Grandmother always had one in her home with beautiful Saints, Statues, Holy Water, Candles and a Rosary).  Some are less conspicuous and seem to blend in with our décor but they are items we have of special value, they have a meaning to us and although no one else sees it, we know why they are there.
In Feng Shui some people choose to set up different types of Altars for their own "Sacred Space."  Most are not elaborate and they all vary but to my clients, they all have deep … (24 comments)
