Create Sacred Space Within You And Around You

A 4-Step Guide To Get More Flow

by @elioverbey

Think of a time when you were in “the flow”. It might have been like this:

  • Your days moved easily from one activity to the next.
  • You felt peaceful.
  • Making decisions was easy
  • You were positive, believing anything was possible
  • Being happy and uplifted was natural

Stress is the opposite of flow.  Think of a time when you were not in “the flow” Life may have looked like this:

  • Your days were a struggle trying to get things done
  • Everything seemed to go wrong
  • Your ideas and activities got stalled
  • Making decisions was difficult
  • You were overwhelmed, confused or angry often

Many people in the United States are suffering from stress, worry, headaches, muscle tension, and fatigue. The #1 cause of chronic health problems is stress. Stress also lowers your immune system's ability to function at top capacity

Stress affects your biology- how your systems function, your body, the physical impact of your biology, and your beliefs-how you process your thoughts.

The Law of Flow To The Rescue

The energy in your living space has a flow, unique to you and how you have arranged your environment. Everything you have in your space either boosts flow or drains flow.

You can influence flow by using Feng Shui principles and the Law of Flow. The goal of Feng Shui is to create flow around and through your space with ease and harmony thereby creating a supportive and stress-free environment for you.

 In his recent article Motivation is Overvalued. Environment Often Matters More, James Clear states, over time your personal characteristics: motivation, talent and effort tend to get overpowered by your environment.

If you want to minimize your stress, then you need to live in an environment that boosts flow rather than one that drains it.

The Fabulous Four Of Flow

You have identified what flow is and how flow feels..  Now we will apply the Law of Flow and the fabulous four to your environment.

Beauty – beauty keeps the energy circulating in your space. The energy enters your space through the entrance and is attracted to beauty. Beautiful items keep the flow moving through the space from one beautiful article to the next.

Beauty has many forms. It could be color, art, photographs, plants, or furniture. An absolute must is that it makes you feel uplifted just to be around it.  Look around, what do you think brings beauty to your home?

Law of Flow Tip #1 – Add some color that you love, rearrange, or create new art, bring in some life with plants or fresh flowers to improve beauty in your home. Place something beautiful in each room, causing flow throughout your space.

Too Much Stuff – the flow of energy needs a clear path to follow. Too much stuff in any area slows or stops the flow.

One sign of slow or stagnant flow is feelings of confusion, overwhelm, and stress. What areas of your home have too much stuff? Is it your kitchen counters filled with appliances or other clutter, closets with clothes you don’t wear, garage packed full of items you don’t use, or your bedroom with clothes, laundry, or paperwork scattered about?

It is time to evaluate what stuff you have in your space. If there is too much stuff you are being robbed of your joy, health, and peace of mind. Clutter adds to feelings of stress.

Think of too much stuff like big rocks in a river, the water (flow) must go around them. A good question to ask yourself is “Does this item bring me joy or is it just taking up space?” Something taking up space could be slowing or stopping the flow in your life, adding to your stress.

Clutter slows the flow of your money, health, and relationships. You may have money but not be able to hold onto it or you may have enough money but not feel abundant.  If an item does not bring you joy, it is time to get rid of it.

Law of Flow Tip #2 – Start in an area that has too much stuff. Pick up an item and ask your self this question “Do I love this and does this bring me joy?” if your answer is no then it is time to get rid of it. Create a bag or box of things to donate and take them to the donation center.

Broken and Non-working Items – burned out light bulbs, leaky faucets, squeaky doors, broken toaster, frayed cord on a lamp are examples of broken items you live with thinking  you will fix it someday.

Broken items create slow flow or stagnation. Everything in your space needs to be in good operating order. The broken item or burned out light bulb is draining you of valuable energy that could be used to create the life you desire. What broken and non-working items do you have in your environment?

Law of Flow Tip #3 – Be honest with yourself about fixing a broken item. Are you really going to fix it NOW? If not it is time to get rid of it.

Furniture Placement – where and how you arrange you furniture has an impact on the flow in your space and the flow in your life. Remember the furniture is like the rocks in the river, directing the water around them.

Is there room to move around in your space? Does the size of your furniture fit the size of your room? Is it too big or too small? Does your furniture block or limit the entry into the room?

Your furniture placement either helps the energy flow smoothly through your space or causes pockets of stagnation. Places of stagnation drain your personal energy leaving you tired, anxious, and stressed.

When the energy is flowing smoothly through your space you feel uplifted, happy, and at peace.

Law of Flow Tip #4 – Place furniture so you do not have your back to the entrance of the room. The best placement is to be able to see the entrance from the sofa or bed, allowing flow into the room. 

Take a risk, rearrange furniture to see how it opens up the flow in your space. If your room feels crowded consider eliminating furniture to create more space.

Observing the flow in your space gives you clues and insights to what is influencing your peace of mind and well-being. When you change one thing in your space it has the power to change everything.

Year of the Metal Rat – What Does He Bring You?

by @elioverbey

The Metal Rat scurried into your life on January 25th, sat on the throne as the year’s ruler and dominants the energy vibration for the year until February 12th, 2021.

In the year of the Metal Rat create a vision for your life and take steps to make it happen. What do you really want for your life? A satisfying career, inner peace, creative expression, or more money.

This year if filled with opportunities for prosperity, self-indulgence, and new beginnings.

It is a time to take risks and try your ideas. Focus on short term goals and take action to achieve your bigger goals.

If you make a mistake, stop, refocus, and adjust so you can continue to move in the direction of your vision.

Your worry or the worry of others can be an issue in a Rat year. Worry energy fills you and your surroundings with negativity, distrust, and draining vibrations.

What can you do about worry vibrations? Sit quietly, do some soul searching and find an activity that helps calm you and uplifts your vibration such as meditation, yoga, tapping, or intentional painting.

Here are the Rat characteristics that influence you and your surroundings this year

Rats are:

  • Resourceful – they know how to use available resources to get what they need
  • Intelligent – quick to see the potential in a situation and skilled at putting their ideas into action
  • Driven to get things done –may be seen as selfish or stubborn because they keep working until the project is finished
  • Life of the party – they love to socialize and are good at it
  • If they are cornered they will fight – they defend themselves verbally & physically
  • Business Experts – they are excellent in creating & running a business and making investments
  • Connection – Rats find making connections a vital part of life

Although Rats are open and gregarious when challenged they can become loud, talkative, aggressive, and argumentative. Watch for that energy in yourself and others this year.

Notice when you are in challenged Rat energy and use meditation, exercise, or painting to bring you back to your centered self.

The Influence of the Metal Element This Year

The metal element of this year’s Rat is about organizing and managing your resources. It is a time of intense emotions for you and/or others. You may see or experience feelings of urgency, anger, or jealousy.

We are moving away from the easy-going Pig year into a more extreme and intense Rat year.

Metal brings up questions for you to ponder. How can you effectively use your resources? Are you managing your resources in the best way now? How can you trust in yourself?

Do you listen to your intuition even when it is difficult to follow through?

Making money is a metal characteristic. You may know the phrase “You have to spend money to make money”.

It is part of the Metal Rat philosophy. You will have many opportunities to take courses, buy equipment or invest in education.

Material things are important to the Metal Rat, more so than experiences. It is easy to slip into a mindset of “buy more stuff” in a Metal Rat year.

Before you buy ask yourself “Is this item really going to add to my happiness in life or is it just something I think I have to have?”

What Happened in the Last Metal Rat Year?

The last Metal Rat year was in 1960. It is valuable to consider what history reveals about the last time this energy was dominant. Here are a few snippets from 1960:

  • 4 African American students sit at a segregated lunch counter in Woolworth’s, sparking the Greensboro sit-ins which led to Woolworth’s removing its policy of racial segregation in the Southern United States.  
  • France tested it’s first atomic bomb to become the world’s 4th nuclear power.
  • The FDA approved the first birth control pill. This started the sexual revolution of the sixties.
  • Vice President Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy appear in the first televised presential debate.
  • John F. Kennedy was elected the 35th President of the United States.
  • While campaigning for President John F. Kennedy announces his idea for the Peace Corps.

 The Metal Rat in 2020 will create his own history, stories, and changes.

Who Is Compatible with the Rat?

Remember when you were in high school? You probably had a best friend and a few other good friends. If your best friend was angry with someone you sided with your friend and were angry too.

It works the same way with the animals of the Chinese Zodiac.

The animals that resonate with the Rat’s energy vibration tend to be his friends and flourish in a Rat year. 

Rat’s friends are the Ox, Dragon, and Monkey which means they know how to navigate this type of energy with grace.

The Horse is the most challenged by the Rat because their energy does not flow well together. They are the most distant. It is easy for the Horse to get their feelings hurt in a Rat year.

To flourish the Horse must change their approach to situations this year. They may have to change their lifestyle to get healthy, let go of friends that are negative, or slow down and rest more.

Change is challenging for Horse and change is what they must do this year.  All of this must be done without complaints.

Putting It All Together

The energy vibration of the Metal Rat flows through you, others, and your surroundings. The influence is always there in relationships, politics, health, money, family, your career, and life journey.

Create a vision for your life, take steps to make it happen, make a plan to deal with worry, organize and manage your resources,  be mindful of your desire to spend money, and be aware of when emotions are out of balance.

Notice when you or someone around you is feeling intense and have a strategy to deal with it.

Happy New Year and may the Metal Rat year be prosperous, meaningful and filled with inner peace.

2 Feng Shui Ways To Stop Your Money Leaks

by @elioverbey

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.
