Use Feng Shui to Achieve Your Greatest Goal
Your intention is equally as powerful as Feng Shui cures that can be employed to achieve our greatest goals and often even more powerful.
Using Feng Shui and Intention to Achieve Your Greatest Goal
By Ken Lauher
Many people perceive Feng Shui as just another way to decorate a home, placing water fountains in corners and hanging wind chimes in the entryway. Certainly, we can use a variety of objects to activate, balance or redirect the chi in a specific area to achieve specific goals. But, intention is equally as powerful as the Feng Shui cures that we employ to achieve our desired results — and often even more powerful.
When I perform a Feng Shui consultation or space cleansing in a home, business or apartment, I look at the aspects of Feng Shui we can see, such as the placement of your kitchen, the look and feel of your entryway, and the colors of your master bedroom. But I also assess the chi by gauging the subjective, intangible forces derived from my intuition. Feng Shui is as much about how a space makes us feel as to how it looks or how well the chi flows through it. In many cases, these intuitive insights lead us to cures and solutions that can create the astounding success we may not have experienced otherwise.
Because Feng Shui is rooted so deeply in the Intention you place behind the cures, a Feng Shui consultation is only the first step. I finish every Feng Shui consultation with an action plan for the client that offers easy Suggestions they can use right away. After a consultation or even after employing Feng Shui cures on your own, it is important to take positive action to realize your goals to live a more fulfilled life.
Intention Can Improve Your Results by 120%
The world’s foremost Feng Shui Master, Lin Yun Rinpoche, once said, “Intention can improve the results by 120% when you make any positive change in your life.”
In BTB (Black Sect Buddhist) Feng Shui, we use mundane solutions, transcendental techniques and the power of intention to create change in our lives. For instance, if you wanted to make more money, you might ask for a raise or find a second job. That would be a mundane solution. A transcendental solution could involve adding a water element to activate and energize the wealth corner or career section of your home. But if you combine these actions with a strong, powerful intention — visualizing the feeling of security you’d get from greater income, or how much you’d enjoy driving around in that new car, you can achieve results greater than you would from mundane actions and Feng Shui cures alone.
Have you ever desired something so badly that you simply knew it was yours — and could feel the emotions associated with having it? This is the power of intention at work.
Living As If
You may have heard people talk about “living as if…” or “walking the walk,” or maybe even “fake it till you make it.” These are all different ways of referring to the act of living with intention and expecting that something — whether it’s wealth, health or a fulfilling romance — is yours, rather than just wanting it.
When we say we’d like more money, a new car or a new home, the material things are only part of our desire. What we really want is the feeling of having those things evokes in us. Before you set a goal, ask yourself: “What is my desired outcome? What do I really hope to get from this?”
– If you want a new job, is it to find greater fulfillment in a career that lets you help other people or apply your talents in better ways?
– If you want a lot of cash, is it so you don’t have to worry about being able to pay the bills, or so you can travel whenever you want, or work less and spend more time with your family?
– If you want a new car, do you crave the status a luxury vehicle brings or the convenience of having a car that will get you from point A to point B without worrying about your clunker breaking down?
When you pinpoint the end result, what you really desire, you can look for other ways to achieve that feeling within your means right now. For instance:
– You may volunteer for a charity if you seek greater fulfillment from your career
– You may create a budget so you get a better handle on your bills, ask for flexible hours at work to spend more time with your family, or find fun things to do that don’t cost a lot of money
– You might fix up your old car to make it look nice and run more reliably
Feng Shui – Like Attracts Like
Once these emotional desires are fulfilled, we begin living as if we have what we already desire. That’s when even greater things come to us. Everything in the universe is energy. When we have positive feelings about things in our life, whether it is money, love or our career, we attract more things that bring us positive feelings, because like attracts like.
That’s why when things go bad, it seems like a snowball effect, rolling rapidly down a hill and picking up momentum as it goes. Fortunately, when things are going well, they continue to do so, growing and spreading to other people in our life.
When we define the end result that we want to achieve, live with intention, and work toward our goals, we truly can achieve everything we want in life and more.
Intention, Defined
If I were to ask you to walk from one side of the room to the other and if I were to stand in your way, you would try to walk around me. If you moved left, I might move left and block you. If you moved right, I’d move right. With no real reason to reach the other side of the room, you might give up rather quickly.
On the other hand, if I were to say that if you can get across the room, you’d earn one million dollars plus college tuition for your children, your grandchildren, and your great-grandchildren, you’d do everything you could — maybe even running me over — to get to the other side of the room. That is setting your intention and will.
If our motivation is great enough, we can accomplish anything. You may have heard stories of women who lifted up cars because their child was trapped underneath. Their intention was clear and unwavering.
Not everything in our life, of course, needs that kind of focus. But whatever goals we approach with a strong intention, we are sure to accomplish.
How Can Feng Shui Help?
The Feng Shui tips I discuss are powerful secrets that can help you achieve your goals. They work because they give us the means to harness the chi (energy) around us so it works to our advantage, giving us greater fortune and opportunities. Some may call it luck, because, as we apply these powerful Feng Shui cures in our apartment or home, we notice that things simply begin going our way. We see new opportunities open to us, and we feel healthier in a home where we are surrounded by positive energy. However, it is up to us to live with intention and to keep our most important goals and our true life purpose in mind every day.
Think about what you’ve called your “life’s dream” or “biggest goal.” How strong is your intention to achieve it? How are you focusing that intention with positive action?
