THE CALL
Sandy called me without a specific need; and yet, she was disappointed with several areas of her life. She felt depressed. Her life seemed to be stalled. She was off work on sick leave and her kids weren’t talking to her! Does feng shui have any ideas that could help her get her life back?
(Yes! Of course!)
THE REALITY
When I arrived at her home, a small condominium on the ground floor, I noticed there were dead trees and bushes all around the building.
I also noticed that her home décor utilized a vast amount of the colour red. Her living room had red leather sofas, red seat cushions in the eating area and red images on the wall. To add to this fire-colour, there was a large corner fireplace in the living room. WOW! That is a lot of fire!
Sandy was also missing her kids. She felt that her grown kids were too busy with their lives, for her.
THE DETECTIVE WORK
The issues:
What Sandy CAN control: pull the weeds in her private space and bring in potted plants. She would be obligated to water and care for only these items; not try to revive the entire cedar hedge.
Note: Bringing life into a space is SO IMPORTANT for mental health! Sandy was surrounded by dead plants and trees, making her feel the drain of everything dying around her.
For her large, corner fireplace, we needed to balance the fire. I located a serene seascape hiding in another area of her home. I placed it across the huge, aggressive corner; it actually shortened the enormous space over top of the fireplace.
Note: A house that has ‘too much fire’, can be consuming. ‘Fire’ itself keeps our sub-conscious on high alert. To ‘douse’ a fire or ‘calm it down’, bring in the opposite -water. A picture of ‘water’ hung over-top of a fireplace will actually minimize the fire element! (Don’t do this if you NEED a fire element for Fame, or to boost your Abundance area.)
RESULTS
When I heard from Sandy on our Follow-Up call, she was feeling so much better! She was ‘almost ready to go back to work’!
~ Sandy LOVES her new fireplace! After we toned everything down, she confided that she’d been thinking to rip the whole fireplace out of the house!
~ She cleaned up her dead patio and brought in some colourful flower baskets that she could handle. This really lifted her spirits!
~ Lastly, Sandy produced a current image of her daughter and boyfriend. (She admitted she wasn’t thrilled with the boyfriend.) By accepting that her daughter has grown up and has a life; it is a big step. Interesting, Sandy’s daughter called her within a few days of displaying the new photo in her Family Area! ((SMILE))
Life is full of surprises! The world is changing all around us, and we have to be prepared. Using feng shui to help organize your life and learn coping skills for change CAN help you maneuver through life’s storms ahead.
Sandy’s story is one that I’m very pleased to share with you!
