Hope you're having a fun summer! I've been busy getting ready for the certification class happening next month as well as my Western States consultation and speaking tour (see travel section below.) Hopefully I'll see you when I'm on the road!

My current ongoing coaching consultations are due to wrap up the beginning of August, and so I'm opening up my schedule to take on 18 new clients starting in September, 2008.

I have been working on how I can make these sessions more efficient over this past year, and I'm finally convinced that I can be more laser-like with these consultations. In addition to my knowledge of Feng Shui, Design, Life Coaching, Pranic Healing, Holistic Health and Longevity Diet Counseling, I am now certified in Advanced Neurological Repatterning, Ericksonian Hypnosis, Performance Consulting, and as a trainer of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, and I'm confident in using it.

I made the effort to study these techniques because I believe that it makes me much more well rounded in making a difference in the lives of my clients. It will help me get you to be absolutely clear on where you want to go, and help you commit your whole body, mind, and spirit to the goal.

Question #1: I'm thinking about my son's dorm room this fall and wondered if you had advice for dorm-living students in college taking tests and succeeding in school? They have computers in their bedrooms.

Answer #1: First of all, get all the electrical devices you can as far away from the bed as possible, so your brain can rejuvenate itself at night so you CAN THINK for the tests.

Next, I'd suggest placing the earth element (a plant with real dirt, pottery, a stone, etc.) in the front left-hand part of the room to anchor the "mountain" energies that this part of the room or home holds. It's called the "skills and knowledge" area, and it helps support the kind of energies you want during this time in life. With earthy, steady, and firm "mountain chi" in this area, one can find the inner stillness required to listen to gut instincts when not sure of answers, and gather wisdom from studying. Oh yeah, the color blue, or earth tones works well in this area as well as symbols of wisdom, etc. like an owl or a picture of someone who you know to be knowledgeable or wise (either in the subject matter that you are studying or someone wise in general.)

One other thing, you might try placing the names of your teachers in a metal box (or even fold them up in aluminum foil) and place that box/holder in the front right-hand part of the room. Both this and the front left-hand area mentioned above are from where you enter into the room through the door, by the way.

Question #2: I'm working on my home office and am befuddled as to which gua to place the paper shredder (currently stacked high with papers to be shredded) and the metal bin that I use for recycled paper (which I empty weekly.) I'm re-reading your book and loving it!

Success Story # 1: I have been reading and re-reading your book for almost a year. I find so much inspiration in it that I am boundless with the successes that I have received. I can't tell you how excited I was to see that your website has been expanded to include these success stories...here is just one of many I have witnessed..... I recently moved to a new apartment building. I am on the 3rd floor; however, there is an apartment above me. Right off the bat all I could hear was loud stomping every night. It was so loud I could not hear my thoughts let alone the TV. I prayed that this noise would stop. Then by chance I logged onto your site for something to do and bingo....up popped these success stories. The one about putting small mirrors facing the floor above caught my eye. I raced out the next day to buy several. I placed them in all the rooms of my apartment, and I promise I am not making this up....the stomping and heavy walking completely stopped that same night. I will hear the person on a few occasions but it is not anywhere as loud as it was. Bless you for being in the right place and providing this advice. I truly understand the concept and your talent for putting it to a level the common person can understand is profound....thank you, thank you.

Success Story #2: So, I really have two phases to report. I fell at work and injured my right arm and leg and have been involved in a delightful Work Comp case that was going nowhere. I got my hands on your book, began the de-clutter process, and paid special attention to the Helpful People area. I put the name of my court rep, the insurance agent fighting my case, and the judge, along with a few choice affirmations into aluminum foil. Before I knew it we were headed to court and the judge ruled in my favor.

Phase two, a year later. I was missing my connection to the Buddhist masters I often see when meditating and asked that this be rekindled. I went to my favorite bookstore to acquire a copy of your book for my daughter-in-law, and as I walked in I saw a huge book, 36" x 16", with a beautiful Buddha on the front. Since my meditation occurs in the Helpful People area, the book is propped up there. It has a forward written by Deepak Chopra. I have started focusing on a new career that is fun with a healthy environment that provides financial abundance for me and mine, while assisting others in improving the quality of their lives. Several things have synchronistically transpired since then, and the new career opportunity is endorsed by Deepak Chopra!!! I having been laughing for a week now, and giving thanks! Your book has helped me move very stuck energy twice now!!! Thank you so much. Once the money is flowing in again I will sign up for you class.

Feng Shui Product Specials

Have you been eating your "curds and whey?"

There are a lot of commercials out there that want you to believe:

1. They've just discovered this thing called probiotics!

2. They have the one product in the world that delivers the live cultures that you need.

What I have found is that their product is often overproduced and expensive. Here's a great alternative using whey (the watery stuff that sits on top of yogurt) that not only gives you a probiotic boost, it helps detoxify your liver as a bonus. Separate the whey by placing four layers of cheese cloth in a colander that is set inside a bowl, making sure there is space for the whey to drain into the bowl. Let it drain in the refrigerator overnight. Simply mix lemon juice with whey and drink first thing in the morning. The yogurt "cheese" that is remaining makes a great and healthier alternative to cream cheese, too!

I recently had one of my 6-month clients send me updated pictures of her home changes, and I noticed that she had re-caulked around her tub. With that one little change, that bathroom changed from a kind of mildewy/icky space to a fresh and vital one. Nothing says "ick!" like mildew and mold. :)

So, get pen and paper in hand and do a walk-about in your home in order to write down any spots that give off the "ick vibe," and start crossing them off one by one over the next month. Somehow, just having all the things that bug you on one list takes come of the mental clutter away.

This single mom gal did the caulking job herself, so there are no excuses!
