Missing Areas of Your home/Life - by: Jane Kifer

Perhaps the reason you are struggling so greatly, in your finances, love life, health or any particular area- is a major area in your home is missing. There are remedies to rectify this! Get a Feng Shui Consultation and see! It reflects directly to your life. Perhaps and entire area is missing, creating an imbalance and inability for things to move properly! I recently reviewed a house plan with my Mentor and the basic map clearly indicated financial struggle which was one of the areas she discussed with her intentions for herself- to have more for rewards and results for the work she puts out. With this map, no matter how hard she works, she will always be behind. There are things you can do to extend a room, or enliven an area. Steps must be taken for things to shift. Her house was in foreclosure last year, she has struggled financially for years and no matter how hard she works she cannot really get ahead. I am so excited to discuss the transcendental remedies with her! They will help!

Position of Your Desk, Especially a Cubicle - by: Jane Kifer

If you are the boss, or the teacher, your desk better be facing the door with everyone else between you. But, what if you are in a cubicle type desk and there is no way around it. What if you cannot control your back to the door at all. My friend is a dentist, an amazing dentist and she and her partner have a wonderful practice. Their backs, however are both to the door and because they have a beautiful built in unit to accommodate a small space, it sort of has to be there. My desk is now in my cool new garage art studio. I love it. However I face a wall. You must put up a mirror in front of you so you can see behind you. It would even be great to put a wind chime above your head, but this isn't always possible in some work circumstances without people looking at you funny. The idea is you need to see who is coming . It also expands your view from hitting a wall, opens your perspective. If you are able to put of the wind chime, put it up with intentions for your work. And ring it when you think of it to resonate the waves of sound with your intention ringing out into the world. The mirror adds subconscious safety and instantly creates more space.

Body Image and Other Relationships With The Self - by: Jane Kifer

One of my mentors was telling us a story of a time when he was very very thin. Too thin. No matter how much he ate, what he did or exercised or didn't, he never gained weight. In fact he lost more and more. He was not physically ill, but he discovered something. He discovered that he literally embodied this image he had in his mind that he had seen at one point of a yogi. A very thin yogi. He, in his mind, aspired to be a yogi, he wanted to be (name changed here) Larry Yogi. That was his goal. That imprint in his brain and intention for himself, created his reality. I related to this story in my relationship with money. For most of my life, I have stayed at the same level of finances, no matter how much more I worked or earned, I had the same internal ratio of money coming in versus going out. The balance seemed to stay the same and never get to a greater sense of cushion or security. Over the years many things came up; My mom always had $100 in her account, she communicated that to me at a very young age with fear in her eyes and worry. It had such a great weight attached to it. I always kept $100 in my account. I also realized I really started to make money as a young teen ager, modeling and traveling the world. My mother made me feel awful for it. Pointing out how hard she had to work for a week to make what I earned in one hour or one day. It felt horrible and like I did something wrong. So I kept myself small, at a lower level. But the most prominent thing I noticed after returning recently from New York from a Feng Shui class, I realized things were shifting in my life. My paradigm of what I believed for myself was changing. I could feel it and I could see it, the question was, could I live it? A wave of tingles rushed through my body as I realized, I have received so much love in my life by people feeling sorry for me, needing to help me, because I was alone so young, because my brother was given away, because I moved 9 times in 6 years as a kid, because my husband left me and cheated on me, because I was a single mom. I never acknowledged the vicim part, I always looked on the bright side - not in the healthiest of ways, but I realized a fear that was coming up LOUD and CLEAR, could I still be loved if I wasn't broken and poor? I was cared for and shown love because I literally needed it, I needed help. I couldn't do it alone at 8 years old. It was appropriate for others to feel for me and help me. Now, what if I had a lot of money? OH THAT WAS Scary! But it is shifting and now I realize I can be loved and I can have things! I don't have to feel badly for success- wearing nice things, having nice things, a beautiful home! I was so afraid of my mother's jealousy or shaming, I never allowed myself to have anything. Well now I do! And it feels wonderful. We tell ourselves a story in order to survive at a time but we carry it into our lives and we don't need to. What our body looks like, what our relationship is with money or friendships and partners. Maybe it is an old story and idea that we actually don't need to live anymore, about ourselves or our goals that got locked in our mind at some point to help us at that time, but no longer serves our best interests. Were you shamed as a beautiful young teen ager when you started to grow into a woman? Was it so great that you lived most of your life overweight to cover it up and not make your parent feel badly? We can let it go. It's ok. I promise.

Feng Shui Is a Practice, Not a Belief - by: Jane Kifer

As I was hanging a crystal in a long hallway in my house, I measured the string and made sure it was in the right spot. I meditated, filled my heart with intention as I blessed it and I thought, "Feng Shui isn't a belief, it is a practice." When we first started taking these classes, I connected with the physics of it, I connected with the elements of nature, I connected with feeling and how things flow or get stuck. Nancy listened intently and said " I'm not convinced yet." As we learned more and more and practiced more and more and studied more and more, and we see the results in our lives, we realized very quickly, it isn't anything to believe or not believe or be skeptical of, it is a practice, a moment of concentrated intention of connecting with yourself, with a universal energy. When you are skeptical, or caught up in being disconnected which is where we live most of our day, it is easy to say "Blah, not sure I believe it" But when you STOP and take a moment for yourself, for a breath, for a moment to not attach to any schedule, fear, person, obligation, ego filling work, exercise, accolade, drink, or friend and just "BE" to use the cliche- there is a sort of connection with a universal truth that melts layers and years and inches of attachments away. It is a clean clear connection to something that has no words, shape, sound, - yet is on the precipice of form. Doing the work, the internal and external work, creates the practice of Feng Shui. Years ago I would read books on Feng Shui, or try to anyway! I had no idea there were different schools of thought, I didn't understand it and it seemed to contradict itself. I was worried there would be bad luck if I placed something in the wrong spot or way. Now that I am less afraid and doing the work and studying and practicing the art of it, I realize saying, "Do you believe in Feng Shui?" is as if one were to say "Do you believe in Yoga? or running, or skiing." It is a practice, a passion, a feeling, a way of life- you can do it a lot, a little or not at all. I guess for the skeptics out there I'm just offering, learn more. Put your fears on the table as you consider a different way. When I hang the crystal I don't blindly believe and I don't think, "Well let's see if that works!" That would be attaching to fear. What I do think and the door into this idea for me was, I do see how this hallway is long and flows straight out the door. And I do see how this crystal refracts the light and would naturally diffuse the energy, say light energy into a less linear plane, and if that's all I know then that is enough for me. I have been doing things like this and months into this now I see my life is unfolding in beautiful ways, things I have been open to for a while are now flooding to me easily and quickly!
