The Empowered Lifestyle

I suppose because the weather's getting a bit warmer in this end of the hemisphere it would make sense why I would all of a sudden be getting a spate of emails regards how to get along with the not so easy to get along with neighbors. The ones who have the barking dog or the screaming kids or the pothead friends who come to visit at all hours of the night.

I've gotten ALOT of these sorts of mail lately. And, so, today, I'm going to give the quick and dirty lowdown on how Feng Shui says to address these sorts of life challenges. See, first I was going to write something about 'The Bachelorette' last night. But, honestly, why? I was also mulling writing something about kids and summer and rituals/routines etc since I've gotten a fair amount of mail asking about that issue too.

But, then, yesterday morning I woke up to find North Korea had set off another nuclear test. And, well, no matter how you cut it, that kind of action affects each and every one of us in some form or fashion. Just the toxic ripple effect alone will create some sort of weather phenom as Mother Earth attempts to cleanse herself of the assault. And you don't have to believe me here, we'll all just wait and see. But the fact that some of our global neighbors are blatantly defiling the planet while breaching agreements and being, well, REALLY BAD NEIGHBORS then brings me to how weird it is that I would have gotten this onslaught of emails over the weekend addressing this very same shite albeit on a smaller scale. The micro of the macro. You see, you just cannot escape the butterfly effect no matter how wildly you flap your wings.

So, with that idea in mind, the one that says every action that any of us takes (or in the case of the North Koreans, any actions that a group takes) has an influence and an impact on all the rest of us, let's look at some Shui ways to keep the peace:

For the reader who has the upstairs neighbors blaring music when they should be sleeping, affix a mirror on your ceiling with the reflective side facing up or flush against your ceiling. Remember to stay strong in your intention as you hang this mirror you want ONLY what's in everyone's highest good here. NO sense doing anything with a bad attitude as this will only serve to inflame the situation further.

For the reader who has the menacing dog and the apathetic neighbor. If possible place an open barrel half filled with fresh water between the two houses and change the water at least every three days so it doesn't get stagnant. This is the finest neighbor Shui there is. If that effort is not possible then go ahead and hand a SIX ROD METAL WINDCHIME between the two houses and then affix a CONVEX MIRROR or what's called a BAGUA MIRROR on the side of your house so that it reflects the other offending property.

Keeping a wooden bowl of fresh apples in the kitchen is also known as a perfect way to keep the peace both inside AND outside the house as well.

And now we get a bit more woo woo...as if the barrel of water wasn't enough eh?

EVERY SINGLE TIME your neighbor annoys, before you do ANYTHING, surround them with a pink light of love that comes from your heart. A beam of pink light emanating from your heart and surrounding their space. Do that first. Then call the cops.

This stuff works. I have client after client testimonial where the windchime or the mirror or even the barrel made the difference. Sometimes the neighbors mysteriously move. Or sometimes they just cut the crap. But, no matter what, this stuff works. Now, if I could just work up a healthy head to send Kim Jong Il a little pink light of my own....let's do it all together kids shall we? Maybe he'll mysteriously move???
