Chinese Symbol for Danger plus Opportunity
Change happens when we are open to learning about ourselves, and are willing to move forward by experimenting mindfully.
The Chinese symbol for crisis is comprised of two characters: one indicating “danger,” the other, “opportunity.”
A Feng Shui design problem is not something to be overcome, but an “opportunity” to be engaged.
The best feng shui designs do not necessarily eliminate the problem. But they often result from paying attention, adjusting, and changing both the environment, and ourselves as it pertains to our life in the moment.
Just Do Something Mindfully
When a feng shui design problem, especially clutter, is so overwhelming that it becomes paralyzing – don’t wait for something to change by itself. This just creates more stress and anxiety.
Clarity will come once the energy starts to move, and flow smoothly.
The enemy of stagnation is procrastination.
Then find the solution that works best for “you”, not what everyone else is doing. As an example:
Right- brain thinkers are more intuitive, scattered, and do better when they can see everything in plain sight. They are very visually oriented, and see images rather than words. Therefore, lots of colorful, creative, and aesthetic methods of organizing tools work best for them,
Left-brain thinkers are linear and sequential; therefore, they do better with the standard systems of making lists, planning ahead, organizing data, and maintaining everything systematically.
Therefore, the key to any good feng shui design is to pay attention to your own personality and natural mode of thinking. Follow this with a plan that is in sync with “you”.
The feeling you get from the experience of moving a chair, a stack of papers, or even the function of an entire room, revolves around learning about the problem you are trying to fix, as well as learning about yourself.
“Experience”, is the mother of knowledge. Just do something mindfully, and change happens.
