Having an office or business in your home can present special challenges because the energy and flow of “career” is so very different from “home”. Feng Shui can help you assess the differences and put healthy boundaries in place so you can be happy and successful in BOTH.

Basic Home Needs

Home is a place where you can:

• Relax and let down your guard
• Feel safe and comfortable in your personal environment
• Express your own tastes and individuality
• Take good care of yourself
• Eat in a relaxed atmosphere
• Sleep in a peaceful and quiet environment
• Have room to grow
• Entertain friends and family and have them feel welcome

In short, the energy in a comfortable home has a very different quality from that of a successful business.

Basic Business Needs

For a business to do well, the rhythm, pace and setup of it’s environment needs to match the overall intention of the business endeavor.

Think of a successful restaurant that you enjoy going to. Most likely, it’s atmosphere is based on the owner’s business premise. If it’s fast food or business lunch oriented, the environment will probably be colorful, fast paced and stimulating. If it’s a bar, it may be high energy with lots of noise for the party set or if it’s more of a lounge the environment will be more low key, dark, possibly even cave like.

Of course, few people have a restaurant as a home business, however the point is clearly illustrated. If your home business is fast paced, high energy with lots of deadlines, that energy can spill over into the rest of your home and cause health problems, indecision or poor sleep. Certainly it could aggravate workaholism, stress levels and have a negative impact on intimacy and family relationships.

The main issue is a lack of clear boundaries between “home” and “business” which causes confusion. Our mind’s have difficulty separating priorities and tasks without clear boundaries.

Here are some common examples of poor business and home boundaries:

Having business or study books, computers or office materials in the bedroom.

This is a sure way to disturb your peace of mind and ability to relax. The bedroom is for sleeping and intimacy. If at all possible, find another place for your business and electronics.

Having business materials scattered throughout the house.

Centralize your business activities by organizing a work space that keeps as many of your business matters as possible in one area (enclosed is preferable in most cases).

Having the home office improperly placed in the home.

Generally speaking, it’s better to have a home office placed in the front half of the home rather than the back, unless your office has a separate entrance, which is ideal in any case. Feng Shui uses the Bagua Map to determine the best placement in your home.

Location, Location, Location.

When your home office has a separate entrance or if you’re lucky enough to have a separate building or casita, its far easier to have healthy boundaries and create the appropriate environment for a peaceful home life and a vibrant business. If you don’t have that option right now, you can start by implementing the guidelines above to help you.

A feng shui consultation can reveal specific issues that pertain to you as an individual and to the idiosyncrasies of your home. This article or any book on feng shui can only speak in generalities and there are really no hard and fast rules. Every home layout is unique and so are the people living in it!

An Abrupt Change in Momentum

Back in April of 2010, America went through a significant transition through the I Ching Energy of Hexagram #2 NATURAL RESPONSE.

Since then, the I Ching Energy for America has broken up into multiple flows of energy, so it has become impossible to provide a reading in the way I have been over the past couple of years. However, Kuan Yin is still able to give us some guidance that will help us find the flow that will be most beneficial for us. That means that our intentions and our dedication to be true to them become very important.

There is a common phrase in the Amazon that says, “sometimes you need to go with the River and sometimes you need to paddle.” In times like these, we need to be aware of which flow we are going with, and know whether it’s one that will lead us to where we really want to go. Yes, there are times when we need to paddle and this is one of them. Once we find a beneficial flow, the next challenge is learning to work with it.

I have promised to keep you informed as much as possible and Kuan Yin has some more advice to help us make the adjustments that are required to effectively handle this kind of change in the collective energy…

Feng Shui To Raise the Vibration

Here is a feng shui remedy that Kuan Yin shared with me to help raise the vibration in my home and give me some emotional protection as these unpredictable energy shifts continue.

In times where there is a lot of instability in the general energy level, it’s good to apply remedies that will help to balance things out. I was guided to plant some yarrow in the front yard, which will bring increased emotional balance and to place a piece of selenium nearby which has the ability to repel negative energies.

As soon as I set them out properly, I felt a huge sigh of relief go through me and the vibration in my home returned to its normal level. If you are an emotional type, I highly recommend this remedy.

Kuan Yin’s I Ching Reading

We are receiving help from Kuan Yin, the Goddess of Compassion, who is guiding us through the I Ching, an ancient Chinese text that follows and predicts movements and energy flow in the cosmos. Her advice as always, is direct and to the point.

“When one is feeling as though things are out of control, it’s best to follow the advice from Hexagram #9 RESTRAINED which advises:

“Nothing can be done externally…work on the Self. Refine your impulses and desires.”

~ The I Ching Workbook by R. L. Wing (Doubleday)

This is the unchanging line, so that means that there is an external blockage that will eventually move on it’s own accord. However, nothing that one might try to move it forcefully will work.

The Importance of Working with the Flow

Remember, there are certain activities that do better when the energy of the Cosmos is flowing in certain ways. In periods when the I Ching energy is chaotic, grand schemes to enforce control are out of the question. It is a good time to look very closely at any opinions or beliefs that you hold that might be causing trouble from behind the scenes. Look especially closely at conflicts that may surface during this time.

In general, it is to your best advantage to wait out what may seem like a very unfulfilling situation by going within and looking closely at your current projects and activities to review them and make adjustments if necessary.

How will you know if something needs to be adjusted? Here is one suggestion:

Make a list of important activities that you are planning for the near future. Go through them one at a time while you check in with your Highest Guidance through the Circle below.

Ask these three simple questions about the activity and you will know if an adjustment is needed.

Question #1 ~
“What am I doing?”

Question #2 ~
“How will it help?”

Question #3 ~
“Am I pushing?”

If you are unclear or get an unfavorable answer, it is for either one of these two reasons:

1) This particular activity is being blocked externally and you would do better to wait for a more auspicious time.  To find out ask, “Is the problem the timing?” If the answer is ‘yes’, pull back. If you can RESTRAIN yourself from pushing forward, especially when the time isn’t right, you can avoid costly mistakes. Allow the Universe to work for you.

The other possibility is:

2) The activity needs an adjustment from within.
Ask,  ‘Is an adjustment needed from within?”

If that is the case, it would be wise to closely examine your opinions and beliefs with the help of your Inner Wisdom.”

Find Out More About Right Livelihood

Welcome to Part Two of Kuan Yin’s I Ching Reading ~

Last week we dealt with many of the chaotic energies having to do with family, partnerships and other close relationships. We came to the conclusion that RETREATING by going within and accessing freedom was the best way to respond to some very difficult news and events.

On Monday, April 12th, the I Ching Energy moves into Hexagram #2 NATURAL RESPONSE for just two days. Kuan Yin will give us a short I Ching Reading for this energy and shares an healing meditation to help us to lovingly hand over the anxiety, grief and feelings of resentment that we may be feeling at this transitive time.

If you want to sign up for the Abundant Living newsletter, you can do it here!

We are receiving help from Kuan Yin, the Goddess of Compassion, who is guiding us through the I Ching, an ancient Chinese text that follows and predicts movements and energy flow in the cosmos. Her advice as always, is direct and to the point.

The I Ching energy for the United States through April 13th is Hexagram #2 NATURAL RESPONSE. The actual text states:

“The yielding and responsive quality of nature is the focus of this time. Nature follows with sensitivity the demands of the seasons, It reproduces, adapts, and evolves itself appropriately; it heals itself when injured and deftly maintains a balanced economy. Nature is the responsive, yielding background for all events on earth. The power of this time lies in reacting with a NATURAL RESPONSE to the myriad things around you, a response in keeping with the laws of nature.

At this time you are dealing with realities rather than potentials. You can know only the situation around you but not the forces behind it. Therefore you should not act independently or try to lead others. If you do, you will lose the way and become confused…you need friends and helpers to accomplish your aims. If you can accept this you will find guidance. Once you respond naturally and allow yourself to be led, even the greatest goals can be attained.”

~ The I Ching Workbook by R. L. Wing (Doubleday)

Kuan Yin’s Comments and a Healing Exercise

“There are times when the I Ching flow requires for humans to be as calm and still as possible. The NATURAL RESPONSE to this short influx of powerful energy is to remain centered within yourself and to refrain from taking aggressive action or pushing your own agenda.

The ideal of feminine receptivity is a good model to follow. There is much going on and it’s better to lay low. A time for renewed activity and advancement is coming soon, however, for now go within, meditate and pray for the end of fear.

To help you release the dominant pattern of fear that is still left over from the Old Paradigm, go through this short healing process.”

Pray for the End of Fear

Clearing the Chaos

Have you ever had an fight where you completely forgot what the argument was about?

You know the feeling – emotions are running high, but they don’t seem to have any substantial content. Some describe it as if they are feeling totally ungrounded and that everything is scattered and going every which way.

Here is an Intuitive Learning Game that you could use to help you get your bearings again.

This energy could be affecting family, partnerships and other close relationships. Or it could be sweeping through business and career. In order to move forward in a positive way, it’s very important to regain control of how to use our energy.

Feng Shui and Conflict

In this picture of windswept twigs and broken branches, we can see how sharp points and chaos create nothing but confusion. Feng Shui warns us not to allow debris like this to build up outsied of your or business property. If you have this kind of buildup in your yard, especially in the front, you would be wise to clear it away.

Feng shui refers to sharp, pointy edges as “sha” or killing energy and a bunch of it all together like this indicates an abundance of indescriminant, negative energy. These days, a lot of people are having trouble because the feng shui in their homes or offices are not properly protecting them from these energies.

Find out how you can use feng shui to help you deflect conflict and disharmony…

Of course there is also such a thing as mental sha energy which takes the form of irrational and pointless arguing, abusive behaviors and confusion. This lack of clarity perfectly describes the collective energy of America at this time.

Access Peace From Within

The I Ching energy for the United States through April 11th is Hexagram #33 RETREAT. It seems that retreating from meaningless conflict is called for especially now. That means retreating from the conflict and coming back into your heart. The actual text states…

“It is of great importance that you do not confront or struggle with opposing forces and thereby become emotionally involved with what is, actually, a futile situation. Vengeance and hatred will cloud your judgment and prevent the necessary RETREAT…

Difficulties and hostilities are on the rise in matters of business or politics. Do not attempt to compete with these forces…The overall situation is inflexible at this time…withdraw intellectually and emotionally.”
~ The I Ching Workbook by R. L. Wing (Doubleday)

Let’s see what Kuan Yin has to add…

Kuan Yin’s I Ching Reading for Retreat

We are receiving help from Kuan Yin, the Goddess of Compassion, who is guiding us through the I Ching, an ancient Chinese text that follows and predicts movements and energy flow in the cosmos. Her advice as always, is direct and to the point.

“Most people in the United States are involved in multiple situations that are causing problems and preventing them from remaining focused on the most positive use of their energy.

Relationships, in particular, are the cause of a great deal of confusion, doubt and fear. This is due in part to past karmic entanglements and emotional reactions to conflict. It is futile to persist in these conflicts, yet, so many are having difficulty in letting go.

Success at this time requires courage and resolve to leave the collective cycle of abuse. If you are holding onto victimhood, it is time to RETREAT.

This is a dangerous time to be enmeshed in conflicts because they will cloud your judgment and draw you into painful cycles of abuse that have long been part of the Old Paradigm.

Play this game to peacefully RETREAT from any negative karmic ties that threaten to cause you harm.

Once you have effectively RETREATED from these negative situations, you will feel less guilt and doubt about moving forward.”

Cutting Negative Karmic Ties

The Role of Confusion

“Many of you are still caught up in a relationship or situation that is abusive and you aren’t clear about how it is affecting you because you are confused. If you could RETREAT from your confusion, you would know what to do. This situation is exacerbated because the confusion is being held on the collective level. The following short meditation is provided to assist you in RETREATING from a dynamic that you have no power to change.

Use this symbol to help you identify a situation that you need to RETREAT from.

Now go to this healing exercise to access peace again.”

The Energy Will Change Dramatically on April 12th

And it will be affecting America for only two days. Because the transition is so significant, we will be posting Part Two and a very special exercise this next Monday to help you make the most of it.

Also, if you are willing to share this information, please feel free.
