August 2009 This Month’s Newsletter is About Detox Ideas, and Top Tips To Do Today! CONTENTS:
I don’t know about you, but wow, Southern California is heating up! It’s all about the fire element around here — the sun is a blazin’! The fame and reputation gua (center back of the lot and the home) is extremely important this time of year as summertime is the time to tonify and support the fire element. Walk around in your center-back spaces and check for anything you can do to further support your fire element. Things that might be good to have are candles, fireplaces, red or other very warm colors, animal print or leather, plants, trees, tiki torches, pointy plants or fencing. I added some flowering bougainvilla plants in pots to my fame and reputation gua a while back and it is finally paying off with bright, hot pink blooms! Remember, the fame and reputation gua is about how people perceive you, and about respect, and courage. So, if you’re out there looking for a job, or are just looking to have a little more command of the job position you are already in, stoke the fire! And if you haven't done so already, I would love for you to join my Life With Zing community at my new website/blog Life With Zing !2. MY TOP TEN LIST FOR A QUICK CHI UPGRADE Many people are reporting feeling overwhelmed, broke, and stuck in their online questions to me, so I thought I’d keep it real simple this month. Here’s my top ten list of things that you can do today, or over the next few days, to give your energy a little boost, which may be just the thing to get back in the flow again. My top ten to-do’s to fluff up your chi today are: To clear areas where chi arrives: 1. Sweep off your porch or front door step and wipe down the door. 2. Wash your mailbox inside and out. 3. Clean all telephones - landline and cellular. To clean away weak chi: 4. Wash out all trash cans. 5. Go through your refrigerator and remove any rotting foods, wash off all the shelves. 6. Cut off any dead leaves on any houseplants. To make space for newly-arrived chi: 7. Remove all stray items from the floors. 8. Clean off the home office desk. 9. Delete or re-file all emails in your inbox. And to put the cherry on top: 10. Organize your "junk drawer" (if you have multiple, the one most often visited.) With the time you spend doing this with intentions of taking charge of your situation, you’ll be banking good chi that you can use to get things rolling again. And always remember to have fun with it because that’s just more chi-gathering for you! 3. LAST CHANCE! ONLINE CERTIFICATION TRAINING COURSE SET TO BEGIN AUGUST 17th, 2009!

I have had the pleasure of taking the Academy of Healing Nutrition Course several years ago, and when I came upon this article, I thought it was worth a reprint. It is by Marian Buck-Murray from the Academy of Healing Nutrition Staff. As our soil, air, and water are increasingly burdened with toxins, it has become absolutely crucial to enrich our diets with detoxifying foods and supplements. Chemical pesticides, mercury, and other environmental toxins can wreak havoc on our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Fortunately, Nature, in her infinite wisdom, has provided us with a number of potent detoxifying herbs and foods. Many detoxifying foods contain sulfur compounds, which promote the production of glutathione, our body’s master detoxifier. Some foods act as chelators, binding with toxins and metals, and drawing them out of the body. Other foods trigger digestive and purification processes, crucial for efficient elimination of toxins. Following are a few examples of detoxifying foods to include in your everyday diet. Sea Vegetables – Seaweeds such as hijiki, arame, and kombu contain alginic acid, which binds and removes toxins and heavy metals from your body. Miso -- Miso helps reduce the effects of radiation, smoking, pollution, and other toxins. Its' active enzymes aid digestion and its microorganisms help to repopulate the intestines with healthy bacteria. Cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, onions, and garlic -- Cruciferous and other sulfur containing vegetables promote the production of glutathione. Burdock -- Burdock stimulates kupffer cells, which work to filter out toxins before they pass through rest of liver. A blood purifier, burdock increase blood flow through the liver, relieving congestion, and helping to eliminate wastes and toxins through the skin, kidneys, breath and bowels. Turmeric -- Turmeric has been shown to increase levels of two liver enzymes important for detoxification. Here’s a detoxifying and delicious soup recipe that uses many of the above ingredients! Enjoy! Creamy Cauliflower Soup 1 tablespoon coconut oil 1 large onion, chopped 4 cloves garlic, mince 6 cups vegetable stock (or more if needed) 1 head cauliflower, cut into medium - small chunks 1 14ounce can coconut milk ¼ teaspoon ground cumin 1 teaspoon coriander 1 teaspoon turmeric Salt and pepper to taste Heat coconut oil in heavy-bottomed stock pot over medium heat. Add onion, sauté for 3-5 minutes, or until translucent. Add garlic, sauté 1 minute more, being careful not to burn. Add cauliflower, stock, coconut milk, and spices. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until cauliflower is tender, approximately 15-20 minutes. Puree in blender and return to stockpot. (An immersion blender works well for this. If using regular blender, cover top with a towel instead of tight-fitting lid to prevent exploding hot liquid.) Add seasonings. Adjust to taste. Take Detox Baths Sand Bath If you live near the beach, I’ve got another detox recipe for you! Why not try a "sand bath." Burying oneself in sand is an ancient way of removing toxins from the body. It is used extensively in Asia and Mediterranean countries. Because sand is very alkaline, it pulls toxins and acids out of the body. It can also replace minerals in the body by osmosis. Castor Oil Bath A great lymph system detox is a castor oil bath. Place 1 cup of Castor oil in your bath and enjoy your soak for 20 minutes! It will absorb into your system and pull out lymphatic toxins. 5. "BY POPULAR DEMAND" TELE-SEMINAR SPECIALS In a follow-up to the 4-part "jumpstart" teleseminar series that we did a while back, we’ve decided to offer two teleseminars that respond exactly to two comments on the evaluations that were returned. So introducing... 1. The Mindset-Shifting Teleseminar – 5PM Pacific, Tuesday August 18th, 2009. This 90 minute seminar will dig deeper into some of the neurological repatterning scripts that I use in my Quantum coaching. I will literally talk you through a guided visualization that blows negative emotions away, and substitutes resourceful emotions that propel you forward in life. The specific technique that I will be using for this ALWAYS gets great feedback because it makes the respondents FEEL so darned good! And this is a lasting feeling! We will also set future goals into the future using the strategic visioning visualization that several people wanted to go through again. This technique is designed to allow a person to hone in on a goal and use the law of attraction and energy flow to help it manifest.

This 90 minute open forum teleseminar is all about YOU! Everyone who registers has the opportunity to send in their questions prior to the call, and I will answer them one by one. And of course, there will be plenty of story-telling as I find this method of hearing about my clients to be the most effective way to learn feng shui. It is a chance to learn vicariously from other people’s situations as well as get your questions answered live. To register, click here: Feng Shui Palace "Pot Luck" Teleseminar The registration fee for each of these live teleseminars is $49. Register for both for $79. To register for both, go to: Feng Shui Palace Teleseminar Series For those of you who asked for webinars in the evaluation forms, we have created a webinar for you at our new blog site, Life With Zing. Check it out here: Life With Zing 6. SUCCESS STORIES Story #1: Hi Karen, I trust all is well with you and yours. I am doing quite well. I wanted to share some of the great manifestations I have had since my consultation with you June 13th, 2009. -My brother sent me $100.00 out of the blue he owed me. -I've been approved for medical employment insurance -I won a Brad Paisley CD on the radio and the same afternoon won 2 tickets to the Merit Mountain Music Festival, valued at $220.00!! -Approved for a 0.97% balance transfer credit card for 12 months. -Received a $58.00 credit in my bank unexpectedly. -Received my gst cheque earlier than usual with an increase. -A friend gave me a pair of designer sunglasses -A friend gave me a bag of clothes -My sister gave me a bag full of brand name clothes! -Manifested 8 free tickets to Charlie Pride concert. -Found $10.00 on the ground at the pub -Found $5.00 on the floor at 7-11 Could this have anything to do with the rearranging and feng shui!! More great things keep on happening. I would like to know if you have gathered any ideas for coaching with me? Also I bought some (15) tickets for a house raffle. I have placed the entry form in my prosperity corner of my room. Was wondering if I should place the tickets in my helpful people box? The house is only 5 minutes away from where I live!! Very ready to move on and out :) I look forward to speaking with you soon. Thank you, Kelly (Kelly, You can place the entry form for the house raffle in the helpful people box or the prosperity area – works for both. You might want to keep it where it is and then simply write a BIG THANK YOU NOTE to the Universe for all the great things that have come your way and a "PRE-THANK YOU" for all the things you know are coming in the future and place that in your helpful people box. Karen) Story #2 We are so amazed! On July 10th and 11th, 2009, my boyfriend and I did some rearranging and cleaning of our apartment after I read your book. We also purchased some things specifically for Feng Shui cures. We moved things and cleaned and dusted. We worked on several areas but I don't want to make this email too long... This was all done on a Saturday and Sunday. The following Thursday, the 16th, my boyfriend's Social Security Disability claim was approved - they called him on the phone to tell him. He gave them his bank acct numbers and they told him to expect a payment or paperwork in the mail in "a couple of weeks". But today, my boyfriend made a routine call to the bank to check his account balance - and there was a deposit of over $3,000 sitting in there. It's only the 21st! Not only did he get the payment faster than we were told, but he received "back pay" going back a few months to the time he first applied and started the process. (A sobering statistic: 70% of people who apply for Social Security Disability are denied the first time they apply. And it was my understanding that one only gets "back pay" if one is denied but then approved later on by making an appeal. So I believe someone decided to be kind. My boyfriend called Social Security to make sure there was no mistake. He was told that not all cases receive back payments, but his did and she could not explain why since she was not the decision maker. My boyfriend was hit by a car in October; this is why he made the claim. I have been supporting us both for 6+ months and it has been rough for us financially and emotionally. I truly believe that our Feng Shui cures smoothed out the Disability process, sped things up, and brought my boyfriend's case to the attention of empathetic people at Social Security. We are both amazed and relieved. We will focus next on getting his case settled with the driver's insurance company, as quickly and smoothly as possible - and with a very good financial outcome. :) Thank you, thank you, thank you for your wonderful and easy-to-understand book. I have decided to train to be a professional Feng Shui consultant. Many areas of my life and his are coming together. We are now in the process of hiring a professional Feng Shui consultant to help us even more. We figure that this kind of help is priceless and worth the cost! Thanks again. Peaceful in Arkansas And another update from the same gal that made the newsletter publishing deadline: Here's something thrilling, as we didn't know that they did this, but Social Security is also paying his child support! The kids are being cared for - what a weight off both our shoulders. He is still allowed to earn up to $1000 per month at a job if he wishes; he does work right now, he just can't work a lot because of his leg. In the past, he has only been able to bring home about $400 per month because of the child support he pays. Now he can keep his paychecks from work in their entirety. Our household income has just tripled, and I've just been informed I'm about to get a raise and my boss will tell me about it next week. Is that amazing or what? 7.
