Awaken to Grace (Marilyn's) Blog: Intuition

Good morning Brave Heart Women! Did you know that Feng Shui, the ancient art of placement and balancing, can help you realize your Intentions?

Don't go rushing to find a book (you may or may not already have!) on what you need to do by the rules.

Today I want to share a technique with you utilizing Intuitive Feng Shui. I am a certified Black Sect Feng Shui practitioner but I want to show you something you can use without needing to study all of this information. This method utilizes one of our most wonderful assets as Brave Heart Women, our Intuition!

Here are the simple steps you can use to bring more energy to your vision.

1. Select an intention or goal you are currently choosing to manifest. Write it down. Imagine yourself in a life where this intention or goal is already manifest, doesn't it feel really good?

2. Ask yourself, "What room in my home or business needs attention to help me manifest this vision?" (It can also be an area in your yard or property.)

3. Go to that room or area and ask yourself, "What is the most important thing in this room (or area) that needs attention to help me manifest my vision?"

4. The next question is, "What do I need to change, add and or take away NOW to move energy and help me create my vision?"

5. Go for it! Change the energy in this room and see how things start to move.

You may find yourself with more than one answer and they may all help. To start, keep it simple. You want to go with the absolute first impression that comes to your mind. This is the impression we often brush aside if we have not been honoring the power of Intuition. It usually comes in the first 5 seconds. Something may all of a sudden stand out like a sore thumb. It might feel more like an impression than a thought.

If you feel stuck, pretend you know. You may think this is foolish but pretending can bring answers from deep in your subconscious mind. Just go with it and play. You can say something like, "in my imaginary world what would I change to bring more energy to my vision?" This is you finding your own guidance. All the information and rules in Feng Shui are nice to know but the essential element is Energy. When you change energy in a way that creates more balance and pleases you, it will send a ripple effect out into your world. Don't worry about being an expert!

Tips for opening your right brain for this exercise are:

1. Close your right eye and only look through the left.

2. Write your intention with the hand opposite from your normal writing hand. For most people this would be the left.

3. Shift your weight to or stand on your left leg.

I know these may sound crazy but, because we have a cross-over neurological flow in our brains, standing on your left leg or looking out of your left eye will help to activate your right brain intuitive side.

Enjoy creating some new energy and have a blessed day.

Chickee posed a question to me the other day when I wrote the Intuitive Feng Shui blog. She asked me if I had any suggestions on what to do when you live with others who don't pick up after themselves and you don't want to do it! Well, I have certainly been there a few times......You know, you leave the dishes in the sink until there are no clean ones left, you beg, you plead, you assert yourself, you go on strike, you communicate, you try being understanding and nothing works!

So, here is my slightly unconventional answer as I look through eyes that see a little differently now. This may turn into a series as I feel what actually is happening here is quite deep, showing up as a pesky little problem.

The first thing I do is ask myself this question.

"What part of me expects to be treated this way?"

I don't answer it, I just ask. I ask it every time the situation comes up, when someone is leaving their mess for me to clean up. I listen for the answer but I don't try to figure it out.

Eventually some situation that needs some healing inside of me will usually surface from my subconscious mind. It might be a memory of being ignored, or some belief system installed early on about womanhood by my mother (or whomever). It can even show up as a family pattern, passed on for generations. Sometimes it is really amazing what shows up.

This little technique can be used in almost any situation in which you find yourself that you are not enjoying the way you are being treated.

The premise is, the world is your mirror. So, what is this situation trying to show you? If you feel irritated, guilty, upset, etc. by a situation ask this question. Ask this question when you feel like you have no choice and nothing is working. Ask it, and let it settle deep into your psyche and stir things up. Then, pay attention to what has been stirred. It might take a minute to surface, it may take a few days .........give it time to percolate........don't be in a hurry........ask for a life changing answer.

You Cleared your Clutter #2 will have some suggestions about what to do next, once your have heard your answer.

Blessings, Marilyn
