5 Ways Feng Shui Vision Boards Help You Reach Your Dreams

by @elioverbey

There are people waiting for you to tell your story and share the gifts only you have. Telling your breakthrough story inspires others to believe they can transform too.

Don’t make them wait too long.

A Feng Shui Vision Board helps you align your dreams and intentions with your surroundings, to magnify your ability to reach your dreams.

Do you have a dream? Are you living your ideal life?

Is there something that seems to drive you? It could be answering the questions,

  • Who am I?
  • Why am I here?
  • How can I make a difference in my family or the world?
  • How to create a space that supports inner peace?

Do you set goals for yourself, either in your personal life or for your business?

When was the last time you allowed yourself to daydream about your ideal life or business? I mean turn off the computer, the phone, the television kind of time to be quiet and dream.

Most importantly, what do you really want for your life and/or business?

Do you know your WHY?

What is the reason behind all that you do?

It might be to:

  • Live in financial freedom
  • Create fulfilling relationships or community
  • Find inner peace
  • Live in vibrant health
  • Make a difference in the lives of your family and/or clients
  • Show up as your best self

It is important to know what drives you.

Knowing your WHY helps you stay focused.

A Feng Shui Vision Board is a creative tool to help you access both sides of your brain.

It is as if there is a dance going on between the right(creative) side and the left(analytical) side of your brain.

The images on a vision board open your mind to the possibilities because you see images of what you desire.

Placing the vision board in the correct position in your space creates better flow and makes it easier for you to take the actions necessary to make your dream happen.

Let’s explore 5 ways Feng Shui Vision Boards Help You Reach Your Dreams:

# 1 – A Feng Shui Vision board makes you focus on what’s important to you.

As you explore the 9 Feng Shui areas of life you prioritize which area you want to focus on first.

The 9 Feng Shui areas of life are wealth, fame, relationships, career, family, health, inner magnificence, helpful people, and children. I suggest you choose 1 or 2 areas to focus on first.

Whether you combine a personal vision board with a professional one or keep them both separate, thinking about what you want in life or in business forces you to prioritize what’s important.

Do you want a fulfilling relationship or better health? Putting a photo of a couple having fun or an active healthy person will inspire you to stay focused on your dream and not give up when taking action gets hard.

#2 – Visualization stimulates the creative side of your brain.

Creating a Feng Shui Vision Board is relaxing and gives you access to the right, feeling, dreaming, creative side of your brain. When you spend time having fun and allowing your right brain to be free you open the gates to more creativity flowing.

Now your creativity is flowing, keep a notebook handy to jot down any ideas you have for a new exercise plan, meditation routine, or relationship boosters you may want to create.

Placing your Feng Shui Vision Board where you can see it often, serves as a daily reminder of what you want to achieve.

Tip: Take a good look at your Feng Shui Vision Board before you go to bed. Some believe it helps stimulate your subconscious mind. Imagine everything you want coming to you. It will also help you be motivated to take the necessary actions in the morning.

#3 – Focusing on your dream helps you see new resources and opportunities.

Visualizing yourself living with prosperity (or whatever your primary goal is) will motivate you to work towards that goal but you’ll also notice new opportunities and resources which can lead you to reach your dream.

The resources may have always been around you, but you did not see them until you created a dream and focused on your dream. You will see the resources in a new light now, as a way to help you reach your intended dream.

#4 – Say Good-bye to your comfort zone by visualizing a big, scary dream.

Are you playing small because you’re afraid to break out of your comfort zone? Do you feel stuck with no idea how to get unstuck?

Let yourself have a big dream, even if it seems too big to accomplish.

Acknowledging big dreams as scary and outrageous as they may be –will help you step out and take on new challenges, learn new skills, all in the name of reaching that big dream.

If your dream is to share your message and speak in front of an audience of 1,000 at your favorite conference. When you put an image of that on your Feng Shui Vision Board you’ll start to see more opportunities for smaller speaking engagements.

These smaller gatherings will give you lots of practice and build name recognition so when the organizers of your favorite conference announce they’re looking for speakers, you’ll be well prepared to submit your name.

#5 – Seeing a big dream, forces you out of fear and into action. 

Nothing happens without some action on your part.

Vision boards are not magic tricks; they are instead a tool that inspires you into action because you know what we want and you use images, create it, believe it, and take the actions you need to make it happen.

Visualize your ideal life then approach each day with action steps which will lead you toward that ideal life.

Your big dream is inside you, waiting for you to say yes to it. People need what only you have to offer. Isn’t it time to take the next step to make it happen.

11 Feng Shui Tips To Reduce Stress For The Holidays

by @elioverbey

Does the thought of gathering with your family for the holidays make you stressed, overwhelmed or cranky?  The holidays are supposed to be a time of joy, love, and happy families, but for many people feelings of loneliness, obligation, and stress surface as the holiday season gets underway.

I have talked with several people that are feeling overwhelmed by getting ready for the holidays and family gatherings this year. They are worried about having time to get everything done. The biggest worry seems to be bringing the family together in one place at one time.

Recently, a client asked me for Feng Shui advice to make her holidays with family more enjoyable and less stressful.

Even though many of her family members live in the same town, it seems that they only see one another during the holidays.

Many arrive to her home in a pleasant mood. It is not long until opinions differ, and the silent judgments begin, which is witnessed by the sharp glares and piercing looks in their eyes.

At first, critical comments are spoken softly, almost a whisper, as if no one were listening. Soon the tension builds, the glares get a voice, the volume escalates, people begin positioning themselves for protection or battle.  A new level of discomfort fills the room.

The fighters, visibly angry are looking for an argument. Those seeking protection begin to avoid talking to anyone. Not the happy holidays you wanted.

My client wants to use Feng Shui principles to create a peaceful and cooperative environment in her home.

Your home tells a story about you. What you experience in your life is visible in your home when you look with Feng Shui eyes.

Here is what you need to know to reduce family stress during the holidays.

The Family

One way to reduce family stress during the holidays is to evaluate the “family” area of your home.

There is an area of the Feng Shui Bagua (Feng Shui energy map) that is devoted to family. This area includes current and future family members, family health, family harmony, ancestors, and unresolved family issues.  Let’s look at that area in your home.

The family area is in the middle, left side of your home the items in this area of your home influences your current and future experiences of family.  It is worth a good look around this area.

What do you see there?  Is it your favorite armchair a healthy plant, beautiful art, the extra room that is a catch-all for clutter, or your Feng Shui Vision Board.  What do you feel in that area, happy, tired, depressed, inspired? Whatever you see and feel in that space is part of your family Feng Shui story.

Here are a few questions to ask yourself. What clues do the items in that area tell you about your family:

  • Peace
  • Harmony
  •  Health
  • Cooperation
  • Communication
  • Fun

Look closely at what you see and feel there and give yourself an honest evaluation.

Even one small change, such as clearing clutter makes a difference. It can be what gets the energy moving to transform everything.

Your Intentions

What you think as you anticipate your family gathering influences what you experience because your thoughts set your focus point. Your focus point determines how you see the situation.

As you think about, your holidays what do you think will happen? Do you have a feeling of family togetherness? Is there open communication between family members? Is there a history of holiday chaos?

And the big question, “What do you want?”

Take a few minutes to imagine your family gathering just the way you would like it to be and then visualize it happening that way. This is a powerful first step in creating what you want.

Your intention sets the stage for your actual experience.  Your visualization of that intention happening helps support your vision.

Once in the situation, you make choices based on your focus point and expectations for the gathering.

11 Feng Shui Tips To More Peace Of Mind During The Holidays

This holiday season holds great potential because you can create wonderful memories, have fun, heal old wounds, and feel appreciation for your family.

  1. Decide what you want, in as much detail as possible.
  2. Set an intention, see it happening, feel it as if it has already happened.
  3. Clear any clutter from your home, especially the area of “family” in the bagua. If you only take one action from this list, clearing clutter is by far the most important action you can take. Clutter is the most draining force in any area of the bagua. Wherever I see clutter I know there is a problem in one or more areas of life.
  4. Do one good deed each day.
  5. Take time to fill yourself up. Your giving is much fuller when you give from the place of fullness. What makes you feel recharged? A walk-in nature, listening to music, taking a hot bath, talking to a friend, reading a good book, meditating, going to the gym, or meeting with your Feng Shui Coach.
  6. Decorate the entrance to your home with lights and live plants.
  7. Decorate the inside of your home, especially the “family” area with lights, shiny decorations, live plants, candles, and if you have a Christmas tree the “family” area is a good place to put it.
  8. Use scents of the season, like evergreen boughs, mulled cider, frankincense and myrrh, spices, peppermint, and others that you like.
  9. Energize the house before people arrive by burning incense, offering blessings and prayers, saying your intentions out loud in the room, and play uplifting music, or hire a Feng Shui Consultant to do a house blessing ceremony.
  10. Celebrate and treat yourself to a hot bath, a soothing massage, or a cup of tea. Congratulations on a job well done.
  11. After everyone leaves to release any tension left behind by your guests.  Schedule a Space Clearing with a Feng Shui Consultant to release the energy of 2018 and uplift the space for 2019 to bring you peace of mind, radiant health, and prosperity.

You can have more peace of mind this holiday season by implementing these Feng Shui tips.

How are you spending your money? Do unexpected expenses find you short of cash at the end of the month? Do you struggle with your budget?

Is it possible that the cause of your money leaks may be hidden from you?

Money leaks could show up as your car engine blowing up, an increase in taxes, your pet chewing up one of your shoes and now you have to buy another pair.

I got the call to perform a space clearing to remove obstacles blocking the flow of money and new residents into the Guest Home Residential Facility.  What I noticed right away as one of the money leaks may surprise you. It is one of those hidden money stealers.

3 Ways Feng Shui Helps You Say Yes To What You Want

by @elioverbey

What are you saying yes to? Growing your business, building wealth, creating more fulfilling relationships, living a healthy lifestyle, focusing on personal growth, peace of mind, or living a life with meaning.

You can have whatever you say yes to. But there is a secret and that is what I want to share with you here. I discovered the secret on my way to opening to my yes.

This is the thing we trick ourselves into thinking we are creating a healthy lifestyle, growing our business, or creating more fulfilling relationships.

But what is really happening is, we are saying yes to whatever we are doing.

Your Yes is what you do, not what you think you do or what you imagine you do.

For example, I said I wanted a healthier lifestyle, yet instead of meditating I turned on my computer to check social media first thing in the morning. Instead of exercising I would get involved writing an article, calling clients or creating products. I often chose (notice past tense) chocolate, cookies or potato chips for a snack instead of fruit or nuts.  By doing those activities before my most important Yes, which is me, I forgot to take care of me. All that other “stuff” became my yes.

My awareness led me to realize I was not living the healthy lifestyle I wanted.

What you are doing is your yes. You are doing your yes.

Right now, my most important Yes, is to live a healthy life. There are choices to make that align with that desire.

For me a healthy lifestyle includes meditating, exercising and eating healthy foods. It also includes writing because when I write I get thoughts from my chattering mind onto paper where I learn more about myself.

I am saying yes to painting because when I paint I shift my vibration into a higher place. I enter the quiet place of my Soul self and become one with the paint and canvas. It is as if I show up at the front of the canvas and my Soul shows up at the back of the canvas where a dance begins.

I am also saying yes to creativity because that is where the yes lives. In the stillness where we connect with our intuition and guidance. The place where creative solutions are born. Where we release limiting beliefs and say yes to what it is we want

What is it that you are saying yes to? Not sure, look at what you are doing and your yes will be revealed to you.

You are in charge of your yes.

You get to decide what you want and what you do.

Your thoughts and beliefs are a part of your choices. Sometimes your thoughts limit your potential and possibilities.

Your thoughts are either positive and uplifting or they are negative and draining to you. Those thoughts live within you and are also present in your surroundings.

Just as a picture is drawn by an artist, surroundings are created by the activities of the mind…. Buddha

3 Ways Feng Shui Can Help

Here are 3 ways to open to your yes and create the life you want using Feng Shui Principles.

#1 – Energy space clearing which uplifts the energy in your surroundings and fills your space with light, positivity and possibilities.

The clearing releases the energy of all the people that have lived, worked or visited your space, their fears, anger, depression or communication problems.  It also releases spirits there that may feel stuck between heaven and earth, and energies in your surroundings that may be holding you back. You will be able to feel the difference; your space will be peaceful. One client said she felt like she had been on a wonderful vacation after an energy space clearing. She was happy, relaxed and more confident

#2 – Feng Shui consultation which aligns your surroundings with your intentions. Boosts your confidence, clarity and courage to go for what you want. Creates more ease and flow in your life. A floor plan reading reveals where energy is not flowing, causing you to struggle. You receive Feng Shui adjustments personalized for your situation. Your surroundings are infused with your deepest desires.

#3 – Combination of both an Energy Space Clearing and a Feng Shui Consultation which clears negative energy and spirits from your home and fills it with light, love and peace. Add a Feng Shui Consultation and you align your space with your intentions and fill your surroundings with your sincere dreams and desires.

How are you planning to open to your yes? Awareness is the first step. The next step is to take positive action to manage the energy of your surroundings to free you up to go for your dreams and desires.
