Feng Shui for Finding a Job

March 19, 2019 by Belinda Mendoza Leave a Comment

Whether you are looking for a new job or career or just want the one you have to be improved in some way, feng shui can help. It helped to boost my lagging career many years ago and it’s the reason why I left that job to make feng shui a full-time business. It’s springtime and a great time to start thinking of ways to either change or boost your career and wealth goals.

In feng shui, the springtime is the season of the Wood element. This can be best represented through plants and flowers. It also symbolically means growth and opportunities with the color is green. Whether you love your job or want a new one, feng shui has techniques that can help boost or enhance current desires.

Feng Shui Tips for Spring

Keep windows clean
Remove dust and dirt
Deep clean appliances
Dump the clutter
Donate old clothes and shoes
Refresh the air with candles, purifiers and open windows
Sweep and mop your floors
Rearrange the furniture

For those who want to find a job, utilize spring time feng shui cures but also take advantage through visuals. Vision boards and intentions are great tools for creating goals for yourself. If you want a job with more opportunities for growth or higher pay, showcase that through magazine clippings, quotes and positive thoughts. Hang your vision board somewhere you can see it daily so that it serves as a constant reminder of what you want to achieve.

Feng Shui Tip: Print out a posting of the ideal position or job you want and paste it on a red piece of construction paper. Place it on the South wall of your office to bring recognition and fame to you.

The way you present yourself can also impact how you are viewed at job interviews. Find your power pose and dress accordingly. Not only will this help gain a sense of confidence. A strong outfit will help mentally prepare you for success and will showcase your dedication for the position that you want.

Is your home filled with mess? Clear the clutter and make room for the job that you want. Do you have an office in your home? If so, prepare it for abundance by discarding junk mail and papers. Have your desk clear and ready so that you can apply to jobs in peace and transform your old office into a new one.

Reduce the amount of negative energy around you. It’s amazing how much bad energy can affect your mentality and overall positivity. If you are looking for a big change, get rid of as much “bad chi” as you can. Bad chi consists of broken items, negative thoughts and energy leaks that can drastically effect the money flowing in and out of your home. This is especially important if you are looking for a new job specifically for higher pay.

Going through a career change can be stressful, but there are small sorts of actions and next steps that make the process easier for you. A job is not only a means to income, but it’s a form of socialization that enhances ones talents and abilities. Feng shui can be used as an important tool towards success and your dream job.

What to Expect: Year of the Pig 2019

December 31, 2018 by Belinda Mendoza 2 Comments

Well, I hope you had a great New Year and an even better Year of the Dog. If not, you have a great opportunity in 2019 with Earth Pig. He brings in much prosperity, wealth, joy, and abundance. It is a year that all the signs will have an opportunity to do well.

January is the time to prepare for the Chinese New Year or the Lunar Year. Make sure to de-clutter, get rid of old unused items. Get rid of anything you do not want to take into the new year. Write powerful intentions for your desires in the year. Clean your house and yard. These are good ways to set the tone for new beginnings. It is always important to remedy the flying stars for the year. This is part of Classical Feng Shui that is so powerful in creating a harmonious and prosperous year.

In Chinese culture, Year of the Pig is a sign of wealth and good fortune. The 12th of all zodiac animals, the Pig has a beautiful personality and while they don’t stand out in a crowd, they are known to be realistic and reliable. They enjoy living the good life, but aren’t quick to spend on just anything. When they do spend, it’s on the occasional materialistic item that represents their hard work to achieve it.

It’s not officially Chinese New Year 2019 until Tuesday, February 5 but Year of the Pig will already be active starting January 1 so it’s not too early.

In 2019 in particular, Pigs are represented through the Earth element and are naturally social butterflies. They adore their friends and have a life filled with plenty of support. They aren’t the most romantic, but find success in life.

CAREER

Avoid changing careers in 2019. Work hard and be cautious of conflict, approach problems with practicality and patience when faced with confrontation. 2019 is not the year for large investments or gambling. While Pigs are often fairly fortunate, this year will not be overly filled with wealth so spend wisely.

EDUCATION

When thinking about pursuing higher education, 2019 is a great year for classes and courses as it will position you for greater opportunities in the future.

HEALTH

2019 is an important year to take care and keep a close eye on smaller health-related ailments that can become more serious. While major illnesses aren’t expected, that all depends on Pigs taking proper care of those smaller issues when/if they arise. If you’re feeling under the weather, don’t ignore it. Eat more fruits and vegetables for a boosted immune system and maintain a healthy, balanced diet throughout 2019.

LOVE

While it’s not a year of true romance, it’s still a year for new friendships and new prospects for the future. Be mindful of relationships and connections that don’t work out and learn from those experiences. 2019 will be all about learning what works and what doesn’t. Focus on growing your group of friends before rushing into new relationships. If you’re already in a relationship going into the new year, listen to your partner and improve the communication between the two of you to avoid any resentment.

Auspicious directions: southeast, east

Auspicious item: agate

Auspicious color: yellow

Direction of fortune: northeast

Direction of love: north

Most compatible with tiger, rabbit and goat

Least compatible with snake and monkey

Fall Decorating with Feng Shui

October 1, 2018 by Belinda Mendoza Leave a Comment

Our previous post, Feng Shui Tips for Fall, touched on the basics when welcoming fall into your home, but this post is an in-depth tutorial on how to fully transform for the season!

Decorating our homes can be fun, but overwhelming at anytime, but decorating for the upcoming holidays is an even greater challenge. There are so many different ways to decorate your home and office. What are the best ways for you? What is it that you want to achieve? We’re here to help!

Lighthearted laughs, delicious dinners, stress-free weeks and money in our pockets are just some of the things we want to achieve with Feng Shui. Do you have rooms set for company? Do you have mirrors in the right place? Have you managed to incorporate the right color scheme for maximum abundance?

A touch of intimacy

When you think of the holidays, you typically think of those special moments with family and friends. Everyone gathers together and for a moment there is a brief moment of utter peace and closeness. The tables are set beautifully with floral and unique centerpieces, the fireplace is lit on cold winter days and these elements combined make the moment all the more memorable. In Feng Shui, intimacy can be achieved through seating. Keep the chairs close, but not too close. Faced towards each another versus apart. The type of energy you want to achieve comes with the arrangement of furniture. Warm conversations and happy gatherings!

Clear the way

The first things guests see when they walk in for a gathering is the hallway. In Feng Shui, the entryway is a place of vitality and abundance. It’s naturally where the energy enters and exits. A strongly-colored area rug, reds are always a good idea, or a cozy side table can help decorate the space and it allows you to create a space for fall decor like pumpkins and candles. Mirrors in the foyer are helpful – just be sure it’s not directly facing the door! One key tip… make sure your front door opens completely to ensure that you welcome the most energy and prosperity into your home.

Light the room

If you’re really lucky, you’ll have rooms throughout that are adorned with natural lighting. If not, incorporate ways to put elegant fixtures and chandeliers so that you can stay far away from dark corners. The more lighting you have, the more your decorations (and energy) will shine!

More Metal

Coins and special feng shui symbols often bring us moments of abundance in money, love and happiness. These little trinkets are very meaningful during the holidays and it’s a great way to highlight on how powerful they can be. Not only do they make great gifts, but they are also great for distributing on your dining tables at Thanksgiving and Christmas for prosperity for all! Entertaining can act as a way to attract the positive energy that metal can bring.

Candles of course

When we think of fall, most likely we think of the cozy moments when we can incorporate the fire element. We can leave warm and humid days behind (for a moment) and bask in the warm and delicious scents that cold weather can bring. What are your favorite types of candles? Toasted marshmallow, cinnamon, apple and vanilla are some of our favorites. The wonderful thing about candles is that they can be placed in bathrooms for relaxation, dining tables for intimacy, foyers for warming up the entrance and to beautify fireplaces. Using different scents can trigger lovely memories from previous years.

Contact us to help you set up your living room, dining room or entire home for entertaining this season. It will help to promote harmony and peace-filled holidays.

Happy October and Autumn Season!

Feng Shui Tips for Fall

September 20, 2018 by Belinda Mendoza Leave a Comment

Fall is here and with a new season comes new opportunities!

Autumn carries more gold in its pocket than all the other seasons. – Jim Bishop

Not only does the season bring beautiful hues of orange, red and yellow, but it also brings so many wonderful opportunities to connect with nature. Cool air, relaxing walks and cozy nights by the fireplace are all moments that should be truly appreciated. It’s the perfect time for new intentions that can be placed in spaces where you often walk for daily reminders about what it is you want to achieve.

Feng Shui plays a big part in bringing your house up to par for new beginnings. The nature that fall brings symbolizes a renewed energy that can be placed throughout your home or office. A golden glow begins to take place in both your life and what surrounds you.

Here are a few tips for good tidings of comfort and joy:

Pumpkins

Display plump pumpkins in your foyer, on the dining table or living room because in feng shui they are often regarded as an item that brings wealth and good fortune.

Color

Play on the orange and red that surrounds you and use it to your advantage! Implement shades of orange for socializing with friends and family. Orange decor works well for gathering and seasonal celebrations. Red represents high energy and prosperity which are good for health and money. Use at or around the front door where energy often originates with ribbons, wreaths, pots or other decors. Yellows and browns bring a sense of relaxation to your space for cozy nights in. It is a grounding color.

Household Plants

As cold air approaches, we naturally become inclined to stay indoors more. When decorating your home, be sure to include a few household plants to help circulate fresh and clean air. This is not only good for your health but great for the energy that you surround yourself with. It’s also a great way to remove harmful toxins and purify the air for a pleasant breathing space with loved ones. Place in kitchen, bathroom, or home offices. Do not place in bedrooms as they add energy where we are trying to slow it down to sleep.

Host a Gathering

Spending time with family and friends is good for your wellbeing and it’s a great way to stop and appreciate all you have. A way to relieve yourself from stresses that work may cause and recharge with laughs and joy. There are many upcoming reasons to celebrate and setting the table with food and drinks is the start to an evening of lighthearted fun. Use even numbered dining chairs and a round or oval table for family harmony.

Enjoy the Outdoors

Cozy up in a new cardigan and explore the outdoors with a short stroll through a park or time with your furry friends. The sun is sure to be out from time to time to take full advantage and soak up the Vitamin D while listening to the fall sounds like birds chirping, wind blowing and leaves falling. The small sounds of summer ending can relax and destress any tension you may have!

Feng Shui for Money

August 20, 2018 by Belinda Mendoza Leave a Comment

Greater prosperity. More abundance. Improved wealth.

Regardless of how you say it, feng shui plays a large role in a prosperous future. The money-home connection must be in pristine condition for this to happen.

Is your home set up for success? Is your business seed planted for growth?

Let’s explore some options:

MIRRORS

When placed at the right angles, mirrors reflect the success that you want to see. Use mirrors to your advantage by using them with care and dedication. Above all, don’t place mirrors to face your bed.

CLUTTER

We hear it all the time, but clutters blocks energy. Spaces of mess and disorder create a sense of recklessness – much of which doesn’t lead to profits. Clean homes and offices leave more room for abundance to flow.

DECOR

Some of the tools used for success… Plants, harmonious colored walls, beautiful art, water fountains, wealth ships or a collection of seashells all in the “right place”. This creates the vision board of your life! These are the faces to your abundance. A powerful image of wealth is the use of fish. Whether it’s an aquarium or a painting, fish like Koi inspire a sense of wealth.

“I had immediate proof after hiring Belinda . Since we work mostly from home, she had me rearrange a few things in the wealth and opportunities area, and within just 24 hours of her visit, we received a phone call for a new project that brings in more $$$. It was amazing as it was totally out of the blue and unexpected. I highly recommend her! We are so excited and we believe Belinda really helped us make this happen. We love feng shui and truly believe it works!
