Back to School Night Reminder

I went to my son’s back to school night last night and was reminded again and again how much money the state of California doesn’t have. Sports are now on a “pay to play” system, there’s not enough paper or ink to do this or that, blah, blah, blah – it went on and on. It struck me at one point that this microcosm situation is just one of the many lack-thinking events that one hears in these “tough economic times.”

If you are on the law of attraction bandwagon like I am, and understand that energetically, “like attracts like,” you may be asking yourself, “What am I doing to have this in my life?” or Why is this lack in my life now?” But I’m thinking that a more resourceful question or actual state of mind may be, “How can I consciously and consistently create abundance and prosperity?” or more specifically, “How many ways am I abundant now?”

The what and why questions lead you through the victimizing feelings of lack even if you do get yourself together enough to then crawl out, and the how questions propel you to an inner place of imagining the possibilities. Unhook yourself from victimizing feelings and work to be in a consistent state of feeling abundant…as Ghandi once said, “Be the change you want to see.

I have a little card that has Ghandi’s quote on it placed in my dressing area, so each and every day, I see it. It’s my little reminder to not attach myself to the current “illusion du jour.”

I am so blessed to have a school that cares, is safe, is close enough to walk to, and that my son likes. I am blessed to have the money to purchase some paper and ink for my son’s school.

Shew! That makes me feel better already. And its those good feelings that start  to gather together, and eventually reveal once again the great abundance that was always there, hidden behind our dualistic illusions of fear and lack.

How do you keep your state of mind and thoughts in ever-abundance?

Got Money Going Down the Drain? Maybe It’s Your Toilet Location!

How do you activate your wealth corner if a toilet is there always flushing is away?

I know I scared half the world to death when I declared that toilets are a serious no-no in the prosperity gua, so let me at least try to rectify the situation with a little discussion about balancing toilets ANYWHERE, and then we’ll talk about the prosperity gua:
As you know, I don’t fix anything that “ain’t broken” so reflect on how long you’ve lived in the house and what has happened in your prosperity life while there. I say this because you may have counterbalancing measures in place and you don’t even know it! If you feel you could still use some enhancements, think about this:

1. Toilets take things away from the house. Try to prevent the good from going out with the bad.
My advice here is to intend that the good energy of your home stay, and the negative chi go. Intend this while performing a ritual like: placing red tape or ribbon around the toilet and the out-going pipes of the sink. You can also hang a crystal over a toilet with the intention of dispersing the chi horizontally so it doesn’t collectively go vertically down the drain. You can also use a small mirror on top of the toilet tank (or even inside the tank under the water, mirror side facing up) with the intention of reflecting the chi upward in this “downward pull zone.”

2. Toilets, as well as sinks and showers have a specific downward pulling energetic pattern – so they equal water element from a 5 element point of view – so try to balance the overabundance of water element in these rooms.
My advice here is to not add more water element in the room or area. Stay away from decorating the bathroom with seashells, fish, ocean scenes, nautical themes, blues, black, etc. that symbolize more water element. Decorate with items that depict earth energies (earth muddies the water in the destructive cycle) by using yellows, and earth tones, ceramic accessories, actual stones or rocks, mountains and earthy scenes in the art, etc. You can also decorate in fire element and “up stuff” as it exhibits an upward energetic vibrating pattern. This will start to counterbalance all the “down” that is currently going on in the bathroom. Use red tones and candles to add fire. The Sanseveria plant is a good choice to help keep the chi up. Have art that depicts “up stuff” like airplanes, hot air balloons, clouds, birds, helium-filled balloons, or the sun or stars (both fiery and up!). I think you get the picture here.

3. For most people, the perceptions of toilets are “dirty,” and “unsanitary,” and seen with our subconscious thought patterns as a “negative” item. Try to balance this negative symbol.
Use clean and fresh symbols like fresh flowers, fresh-scented candles, and for goodness sake, keep the bathroom clean. No mold growing on the curtain or windowsill, no toothpaste splatters on the mirror, no dirty laundry on the floor, etc.
If you make sure your bathrooms (no matter where they are in the house) are balanced, your prosperity, no doubt, will benefit.

Now, let’s talk about the fact that we want to actually enhance the prosperity gua and not simply counterbalance the bathroom.
My first thought is to check out the prosperity gua of EACH ROOM in the house. The bagua of the room is actually more powerful than the bagua of the house so check for weaknesses and strengths in these other areas. My second thought is to remind you that the prosperity area is the entire one-ninth of a room or home, so try not to get caught up in the exact corner where the two walls meet. Say there’s a toilet there. I’ll bet your home is bigger than a grid of nine toilets. You’ve probably got a whole bunch of other space to work with. And remember the rule that it doesn’t have to be seen to work! Hide purple (the prosperity color) if it doesn’t fit into your design scheme. Place a powerful prosperity symbol in a drawer. It’s still there even if your eyeballs don’t see it!

And finally, I’d suggest checking your thoughts on prosperity. Thoughts of prosperity include gratitude, giving, freedom, love, and joy just to name a few. Thoughts that drive prosperity away include fear, an “I want” or a “what’s in it for me” or an “It’s mine” mentality. A great first step to receiving is giving – and giving freely – without a money-stopping “I can’t afford this” or “ I don’t trust the universe” attitude.
