Feng Shui For Home Buying

Recently, a coworker put a bid on a home that the bank owned. She described it being in a flood plain and I mentioned she might want to be careful. If the bank owned it perhaps it was foreclosed and the poor financial circumstances were a result of the home shape. This made me realize we should talk about it here! If you are buying or selling a home there are things to do! Let's talk about buying! Why are the people selling? How long did they live there? I know we get so excited about loving it like a new relationship, we don't want to hear the bad stuff. BUT how was the family's health? How were the finances. I'm sure in a foreclosed home there were issues so call in your local trusted Feng Shui Master. Many issues can be adjusted, but it definitely should be a conversation. Perhaps the abundance area is missing, perhaps the helpful people and benefactors area is small, Or the health area is an issue which affects the finances. All things to look at, look at it! Better to loose a quick hope and dream than make a blind poor purchase. Check the national Feng Shui Guild for practitioners in your area! Or ask me I'll check with my BTB MTP Black Sect Feng Shui school's practitioner resources for colleagues in your area. Many issues can be adjusted but you should know what they are going in and what you can do to make them better and working your favor not against you.

Patterns , Readjusting and Clearing Patterns

Damnit! Those patterns, those behaviors, that keep coming up. I don't mean eating or smoking weed or reacting or being defensive. I mean those themes that just don't seem to go away! It can be anything! I feel Fat, Why do I still feel like I have no money! Sometimes it feels like no matter how much, belief, meditation, angels, prayer or wine we drink or yoga we do, or running we do, its still there!!! Recently I had a recurring theme that I thought GEEZUS! Clearly it's trying to get my attention. So rather than think positively, hope and pray and believe, - which did NOT make it go away, when The same thing happened AGAIN with a work situation, I thought "Hold the presses! Clearly there is a lesson I need to learn. WHAT IS IT!?" Asking that question and breaking it down and shedding light on it, is like an instant incinerator to the problem! Poof, it all goes up in flames when you identify it. And then you can move forward. Email me for specific help with your theme that keeps popping up and preventing you from Growing and moving on Already!!!! janewkifer@gmail.com And visit www.janekifer.com for more on the work I do and we can do together. It's a new time, it's a new moon, it's a new year. It'll happen, just keep putting one foot in front of the other in the direction of your dreams.

Shadows and Dark Places

Yes it's that time again where we deal with the Shadows, the dark bits. This can relate to the dark corners of your home and OH THE METAPHOR, the dark places of our consciousness. YIKES! I read a great book ten years ago that made so much sense to these ideas. DARK SIDE OF THE LIGHT CHASERS, By: Debbie Ford. She explains how when we are young we learn to shut down parts of ourselves. Like if we think of ALL emotions as a giant castle and every emotion has a room. We learn, that in our particular family to survive there is no place for anger, or no place for tears, or no place for pride, or definitely no place for poverty, or being wealthy. All sorts of things get curated. So one by one we shut the door and NEVER ENTER THE CLOSED ROOM of our souls. Never enter those emotions. What typically comes about as we grow up is they come BURSTING out when you least want it. Because we cannot look at it within ourselves, we can only see it in others, only see it in others by being completely annoyed by them, or envying them. We can only view these emotions in judgement and an internal exclamation how we "are not that!" and thus better, for our survival. We had to! From this book I welcomed this amazing exercise she recommended. She said when we are annoyed at someone for being something, ask ourselves first "How am I like that?" OHHHHHHHH no no no. But yes yes yes. Do it. It's amazing. I worked in this amazing million dollar ( not kidding) bead store, where we had hundreds of customers every day! It was a perfect place to practice. I could NEVER handle the ANNOYING mid 30-40 year old women who could not make a decision! Make a fucking choice already!!! Mallory, who I worked with could never handle teen agers or old people. While I could help them until the day is long happily. We traded customers often, knowing this about each other. So as these mid 30 and 40 year olds couldn't decide which bead they liked or what they wanted to make and I wanted to chop off their heads, I took a deep breath and said "hmmm what annoys me here?" Their COMPLETE AND UTTER INDECISION. Next Step: How am I like that? UGH. Oh wait let me see, I'm so afraid of making a wrong decision that I make no decision or I take 20 years to make one or I put myself in situations where others make them even if they aren't what I want. Next Step: How has that served me? I don't get in trouble. I don't fail, I don't get chastised for doing something wrong. HMMM well that may have served me and helped me survive as a child, but it most certainly does not help me thrive today. Its a fantastic exercise.

Piercing Heart Doors

I never, ok we'll apparently not never, but I do not typically open my mouth about Feng Shui things I see to people unless they are my friends and I see a glaring issue, OR I am asked. Even if I am asked, outside of a whole consultation I wouldn't typically unleash it all on the question. There's a lot of energy put into the exchange of a consultation and I do not throw the info around lightly. That being said, when I picked up my son today from his best friend's grandfather's house, I said to them- it just came out of my mouth. It was like lights going off- bing! bing! bing! I guess that would be more of a bell. But I saw the double entry doors lined up with the large archway and the double back french doors. I paused, and then did not pause. I won't typically say it means bloodshed as that would be scary to hear and even ask. But as I said "It's piercing heart doors you should put a rug (thinking a crystal would scare them)." Then it all unfolded out of my mouth. "Oh my god, Your husband just had a hole in his heart and surgery for it!" I did not hesitate, "Hang a crystal". She said, "Oh he's had that for over a decade." I blurted out, " Well we choose the house that matches or the house unfolds its energies in us, but hang a crystal right here!" I pointed to the doorway. I added "on a red string." When she asked "why?" I said, "For protection." I left it at that, thinking this was enough to hold for everyone. My son's best friend left the house and said "Your mom's doing that weird Feng Shui shit in my grandparents house" . When my son told me this, I said, "He's lucky, one day, I'll be the person he calls when he needs help." : )

How To Thrive

You have spent so many years surviving, You did it you are a survivor! We all are. I ask you to go one step further - move from surviving to thriving! You can do it, get out of your own way, get past the trauma, stop talking about it. YES it helped you survive, to understand, heal etc, MOVE ON... Quit complaining, quit telling the story and move past it. Move your body, strengthen your nervous system. I just told my 14 year old son the other day, "Hey I have a life lesson for you, when things suck, like really suck, take it as boot camp, take it as training that is strengthening your nervous system to handle anything" he said "ok" lol. But I ask you too! You have done the work, you have taken the classes, you have acknowledged your damage, faced your fears, healed your past- NOW get a move on it! Go thrive! It takes an enormous amount of work, but own it, do it, make it happen! you can do it. I promise. It will be so very rewarding.

Feng Shui and Business

I see businesses go out of business all the time and I think, "Oh no! it actually was a great idea, product and plan!" What they didn't realize is the Feng Shui of the space! You can clearly see from the outside, the missing areas in their logo, the recessed doors. Theres NO WAY that could have made it. Even with the greatest of business plans and ideas, if certain factors are poor, it won't work. Large columns in the center of the space- not good. Overpowering buildings, not great. Adjustments can be made, but these are important factors to address or essentially little chance of success. Get help before you sing the lease!

Feng Shui Stuck Energy, Physical and Ghosts

Mostly I experience 2 ways for energy to be stuck, there are more, but I wanted to discuss two here. Sometimes it is the physical realm. The way a table or a couch is lined up creates a pocket of space where energy can get stuck. Put a light, add a pant. Add a chi giving energizing adjustment. Move that energy around. A space behind your bed if there is one. Add a plant or a light to any area where a seemingly locked pocket of space gets created. As in this photo. It is great they have a light at the end of the couch. They should add something behind that chair in the back right corner, and potentially between the chair and the TV console. The other way I experience stuck energy is energetically. Typically it is ancestors past lingering: People who have already died but linger around and in your home. It is stuck because it is way past the point of them accompanying you for any benefit. I sort of do a mental intuitive scan ( I can do this in your bodies as well) but in your home, I pass light through it energetically and I can see and feel where there are lingering dark parts. In these cases, I highly recommend repeated mantras to shift the energy and stir it up. Transmuting and clearing mantras in particular, like the White Tara or Padmasambhava to name two. Also, OPEN the Windows regularly. Let the energy flow out! and new air in. Burn dried orange peels or other dispelling scents that serve you. I also highly recommend you THANK THEM for their care and help and being there for you but that you do not need them any longer and must pass on in their own journey. I used the term ghost in the title because that's what people think of but its more of an existing energy. And please know there is no evil necessarily. It is just their connection to you no longer serves you , but they are not intentionally there to harm you and there is nothing to be afraid of. I'm making the distinction because I think sometimes when people die, they do stick around, like a child to a mother or a husband or wife to the other, as the person heals. But typically they pass on once they are no longer needed. In some cases I see that these energies have stuck around for many generations and their time is done. Everyone is attaching to the fragmented parts and no longer need to be. Everyone can let go.

Feel it in your body, Feel your body

I have talked about this before, of where you feel things in your body as they arise, like anger, fear, sadness. But this door in is a little different. For the past few months I have been quite aware, in the shower when I put on the scrubby gloves and Dr. Bronner's soap and give my body the daily ritual scrub down, I am acutely aware of tiny sensations in different areas. Sometimes it's the back of my thighs, sometimes my calves. Sometimes my arms or my stomach. I always notice it. I know different parts represent different things in life and that we store things in different areas of our body, but I am always mindful, that though I do not know th meaning, that something is being recognized. Even the simplest thing as it feels amazing to pass the scrubby gloves past that area. Recognize it, honor it, notice it. Stuff's happening!

Easy Meditation , it most certainly is not!

I just completed a 40 day 31 min meditation as part of my kundalini training. I was surprised that it DID NOT get easier! At all. 31 minutes doesn't get rushed. My legs never got more comfortable. But I kept at it. I did it 40 days straight. I also recently did white tantric which is an all day meditation with hundreds of people. The longest was 62 minutes, the shortest 31 minutes. My friend said "You must be so blissed out." I said "NO I MOST CERTAINLY AM NOT!" It was hard. It felt like gargling gravel. I hysterically laughed uncontrollably and tears were streaming down my face. I cried deep sadness. I wanted to crawl OUT OF MY SKIN and run out of the building. But I kept at it. I continued to look in and focus on my partner's eyes. I did it. I sat with the discomfort, my legs feeling numb, my nerves completely annoyed. Fidgeting, Mind wondering. I welcomed and sat next to my seasoned friends and saw also THEIR discomfort! Even they 15 years in are uncomfortable. It isn't easy, it isn't ever easy. But we keep doing it. It completely strengthens the nervous system, makes for a stronger constitution, that I can feel. I am glad the counting is over, I am also very glad that I was committed and dedicated and completed the 40 days. I will continue, this is a lifestyle choice, this I cannot not do. I am a better human for it. A better mother, woman, person, light being. I was nervous to do the whole day of white tantric, and excited. As I was there I thought" I have no idea what this is doing and it is so uncomfortable but I have a feeling I will sign right back up for the next one" because the results in my walking life are so profound and upgraded, how could I not? I will do it, I am doing it and for that I am grateful.
