The Power of Intention

Feng Shui is a tool for changing our lives. Feng Shui is a way of attracting positive energy to our lives. The basic philosophy of Feng Shui addresses the principles of energy flow. When we apply these principles to our environment balance and harmony are the results. We are then in balance with the forces of nature and life is harmonious and positive. Feng Shui adjustments called Feng Shui "cures" are how we apply these principles. When we add the power of intention to our Feng Shui cures we multiply the effect one hundred fold.

How do we apply intention to a cure or cures? First we become very clear on exactly what we want. Then we visualize the result as if it is happening. The second step is to connect our bodies with our minds during the visualization. This is accomplished by letting our bodies feel it happening. We are then in the experience and can feel the joyful emotion associated with our desired outcome. The third step is to strongly expect the result to happen, this seals the intention.

When we place a Feng Shui cure to empower our lives we need to be very clear about what we want. If we are not very clear we will get a general result. These more general intentions can be effective such as, " I want to increase wealth". You will increase wealth with this intention, but the result may be less of an increase than you desire. If your intention is, "I will produce a million dollars in sales this year " you are being very specific and are much more likely to manifest your true intention.

We have, at our disposal, a very powerful tool for transformation. This tool is our imagination. It allows us to visualize and visualization is necessary for manifesting any intention. Example: the architect that creates a beautiful home starts with visualizing that home. The artist that creates breathtaking art starts with a visualization of his/her creation. The writer, the poet, the moviemaker the business tycoon all start with a visualization of how they wish their creations to look. The more specific and clear the architect, artist, etc. in their intentions, the more likely they are to manifest exactly what they intend.

Expect your intention to be made manifest! Expect the result you desire! Not with a "Show me" or a "Prove it" attitude not even with an attitude of "I'll wait for the magic". Expecting the result is truly believing that what you have visualized is already happening, that you deserve it, it is a "But of course, it is already mine" attitude.

A Feng Shui professional is a valuable piece in the puzzle of success. Often we require help getting "clear" on our needs, wants and desires. Often we subconsciously sabotage our best intentions. There is also a lot of confusing information on Feng Shui in books and in the media. This is why it becomes essential to seek the advice of a professional when we are serious about change. A Feng Shui consultant helps us get clear and will steer us in the right direction with the proper cures that will be the most effective for our particular needs and lifestyle. Someone whose "intention" is to help others improve their lives and can give us the focused attention we deserve.
