Desk for Success

We kick off the course by looking at how the brain responds to its environment. This video will share how the Reticular Activating System filters information getting to the conscious mind. Our space triggers the RAS to keep us focused on the oftentimes old stories we are telling ourselves, and we can curate our space to program the RAS to look for evidence of who we are becoming.

As we discover how our space is triggering stories about ourselves, in this video we learn to become detectives and increase our conscious awareness of the stories our space is telling. This is the beginning of our using Feng Shui as a Mindfulness Practice.

In our last video on the neuroscience of how the brain responds to its environment, we look at how the brain makes associations between two things and strengthens that association until it becomes a “belief.” Automaticity is the technical term, and our space helps us solidify our beliefs by the patterns we make moving about the space. Learn how to break automaticity and start creating new beliefs about your life.

While Feng Shui is a 5,000 year old practice, this video shares an easy way to understand and even start applying the principles of the practice into every day life. Using Yasha Jampolsky’s analogy of “Flow and Resistance,” we easily make assessments of our space and how to improve it.

Answering the most popular question I get, “How soon until I see changes?”, this video talks about how resistance is necessary and it also is the determination of how quickly you be, do, have what you desire. Mindful awareness of resistance leads to growth and allowing of life to bring meet your desires.

Feng Shui divides a space into 9 sections, each representing a different part of life. In order to live a fulfilling life, these 9 areas need to be balanced and nurtured. This video shares the principles of the Feng Shui Bagua, or energy map, that divides the space into the 9 Life Areas. 

Power to create comes from clarity of mind. In this video we learn how to get clear about our intentions before we write out our goals. We’ll discuss the difference between intention and goals, the pit-fall of non-integrated thinking and how to ensure we are living a balanced and fulfilling life. 

In this video we discuss that nasty little word, “clutter.” If we want to invite in something new, we need to have the space for it, which requires that we clear space in our mind, heart and space. I’ll share with you how to identify if something is clutter and an easy and effective approach to releasing it once and for all.

Building off a clear intention and having the space to create something new, we now have the opportunity to ensure our “new story” is being reflected by our space. Essentially, we have to have a space that reinforces the new stories we are telling about ourselves in order to help them gain momentum. Your learn the easiest way to do this is by using the Inspiration Points in your space.

Sparking creativity, this video will teach you a simple technique to get yourself in the mindset of success, visualization. Based in research, visualization allows you to naturally reduce resistance and create a path towards that which you wish to create. 

One of the most effective ways to create a major shift in your life is to do a vision board - a collection of words, images and colors that represent what it is you wish to be, do, have. Having the visual representation of your goals keeps the mind focused, builds momentum, and gives you a tool to assess your space for alignment with the new stories you are telling about your success.

Feng Shui is filled with creative ways to get energy moving and in this video, we’ll review the top tools for energizing a space. I’ll also share some of my favorite methods for getting unstuck in my career.

There is a lot to discuss around getting the right desk. Here are my top suggestions to keep in mind when selecting yours.

Now that we’ve covered a lot of ideas for ensuring your works space is supporting your success, here are three areas in your home to focus on to keep your energy up and moving in the right direction.

Many people think Feng Shui is a “one and done” type of deal. However, just as our lives are dynamic, Feng Shui is a practice that can support us through every transition and even when we are not in transition. In other words, Feng Shui is a Mindfulness Practice, and the more we practice, the better our life gets!
