laura cerrano: Where Is The Money Corner Of My Office? - Step by Step Gudience - 09/22/15 11:11 PM

This is a wonderful question and very common. Keep in mind, it's not just the actual corner of your office, it encompasses the entire area within the wealth section. I created three simple diagrams below to help illustrate where the wealth corner is located based on the Ba-gua Map method of Feng Shui.
To the best of your ability, draw a simple floor plan layout of your office space. In this drawing I did not indicate furniture, just the doorway and the basic shape. I am also focusing on one single room. The arrow indicates the entry point into your office space.
Once you have the basic floor plan … (23 comments)

laura cerrano: Take Your Time Making Feng Shui Changes To Your Home and Lifestyle - 09/22/15 03:47 AM

When it comes time to implementing Feng Shui suggestions into your home, office, and lifestyle, I tell my clients, do not engage in too many changes at once. By doing that, it may result in you feeling completely overwhelmed, thus creating an emotional charge of being stuck.
Instead, pick ONE area of your home at a time and select a smaller section within that given area. And make at least one change.
This could be taking away furniture (if it offers no function or use anymore), adding or replacing artwork, or removing clutter; these are all great changes! Remember, one step at a time.
Depending on my clients emotional, … (2 comments)

laura cerrano: Walking The Streets of New York City...Part 2 - 09/20/15 10:43 AM

Here are more photos of lower Manhattan I was unable to post earlier this week. NYC never seizes to amaze me with it's urban beauty and people who add energy to the thriving streets. If you slow down and take a moment to really look, you will find amazing artwork and interesting scenery all around.
For those who are planning to visit the Sea Port in NYC, keep in mind the location is under a renovation for about two years. You can still check out the old ships and some shops and restaurants, but the majority of it has been closed off to the public.
You can see the amazing combination of … (8 comments)

laura cerrano: Giving Thanks Everyday To Attract Prosperity Into Your Life - 09/13/15 11:44 PM

What comes to your mind when you hear or see the word "prosperity?" Take a moment to reflect and then view the word "prosperity" through the lenses of Feng Shui eyes.
The basic definition of prosperity focuses on financial success and wealth, while also highlighting two particular words; thrive and fortunate.
The word thrive refers to developing well or vigorously. The word fortunate refers to being blessed. Many times, people will disregard the connection of thrive and fortunate because they are so focused on the end result, which is to have more wealth.
To become prosperous, one of the key ingredients is to be thankful everyday. How have you been growing as a person and spiritual being, or perhaps in your professional career? What are you already blessed with? … (12 comments)

laura cerrano: Explore The Met In Manhattan! - 09/10/15 11:37 PM

New York City is an amazing place to explore. There is so much to do, to see and taste; it's a melting pot of culinary delight! The Met is constantly refreshing exhibits and displays while honoring the classic collections.
I had the pleasure of visiting the Met after a Feng Shui consultation along the Upper East Side of NYC. Below are some past and current exhibits on display.

This made me laugh. My grandma Rose used to use this type of kitchen ware to give my brother and I nice cold glasses of water after running around outside.

Great sight to see, children learning about Jackson Pollock.

laura cerrano: Enhancing Your New York City Terrace Is Good Feng Shui - 09/10/15 12:07 AM

Every aspect of your NYC apartment, whether it be inside or out, contributes to nurturing positive ch'i within your home and life. This also includes your terrace and it could become an extension of certain life sections according to the Ba-gua and Compass methods of Feng Shui.
FENG SHUI TERRACE TIPS: Keep the terrace de-cluttered. This can become a tempting area to store excess stuff and forget about it. Consider adding a couple beautiful plants (at least during the warmer seasons) to help enliven this sector of your home. Create a welcoming space with comfortable seating and a small table (if … (2 comments)

laura cerrano: Fast Feng Shui Way to Clear "Negative" Energy - 09/04/15 08:31 AM

Opps!....I did it again. I had a slip of profanity or a bad thought about an ex. We try to be as mindful as possible, yet at times our emotions may get the best of us. Sometimes negative energy could come from a radio program or what watch on T.V.
Consider making this a weekly practice, lighting incense to help shift the energy within your home quickly. Great times to burn incense could be after a heated argument or any lingering charged emotions — it helps to restore harmony in your surroundings. You could use white sage or sandalwood.

laura cerrano: 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
Practitioners read the land formations … (0 comments)

laura cerrano: Motivational Monday: Stop The Looping Cycles - 08/24/15 12:25 AM

Stop The Looping Cycles
We all do this consciously or sub-consciously in different segments of our lives. Looping situations that include people or events which create a feeling of unhappiness. Much of this comes down to a series of choices we have agreed to time after time. To break this cycle, try creating a new vision or point of reference on what you are experiencing. Intimate relationships are a common example of this. If you date people who are not adding value to your life, take a look in the mirror and ask, do I value myself? Am I taking care of myself? etc.. Any type of change starts with … (9 comments)

laura cerrano: Can I Pass Along A Space Clearing Blessing You Did For My Home To A Friend? - 08/19/15 12:14 AM

Can I Pass Along A Space Clearing Blessing You Did For My Home To A Friend?

This is a great question. Because every consultation is unique for each person, followed by specific intentions he or she hold within to transform their home, energy and life, the manifestation process is different, which means the intention for each blessing holds a customized vibration.
There is also a process in how the blessing ceremonies are exchanged between the Feng Shui Expert and client. This is known as the, Red Envelop Tradition.

This tradition honors:
The focus of intention, appreciation and respect for the sacred knowledge shared The protection of the consultant from harm or inappropriately or indirectly revealing secret information Strengthening and increases the energy of information shared Acknowledges the integrity of the collaboration between client … (0 comments)
