3 Easy Feng Shui Steps to Make 2013 Your Time to Shine

By Laura Carucci

Here we are at the beginning of another new year. This is traditionally a time for resolutions and goal setting. By all accounts, 2013 is the beginning of a new time, a higher vibration, an acclimation to the new energy of The Shift. It promises to be a year full of possibilities, broadened horizons and unlimited potential.

Here are 3 easy steps to make 2013 Your Time to Shine

First, take some time to observe the entrance to your home or office. What does this space say about you to the Universe? Does it reflect all the best qualities you want to show the world? Is the house or office number clearly visible from the street? This area is often neglected by us. It may not even be the entrance we utilize to our space, but this is a very important area in Feng Shui. It’s the gateway of vibrant, robust energy into our space. All opportunities we desire come through our “Front Door”. We need to create a warm, inviting space to attract energy and opportunity into our lives. This can be as easy as: Sweeping this space, cleaning the glass, sprucing up the door with some new paint, making sure the doorbell works, the lighting is bright, the door opens effortlessly, pruning away any landscaping that is blocking the pathway or entrance to our space. Add some colorful accents in the form of potted plants or decor you find attractive to bring your entrance to life.

The second step is to de clutter, de clutter, de- clutter and then de clutter some more. We sabotage ourselves by blocking energy and opportunity without even consciously realizing it. Clutter takes up space and creates obstacles to energy moving freely into and around our space. Clutter causes the energy vibration to lower and gives a heavy feeling to our space. Clutter is anything we do not absolutely love and use on a frequent basis. It can be physical items stored on our property, piled in our rooms, broken or unused, ill fitting clothing in our drawers or closets. There is also virtual clutter that saps us of time and energy: Too many files on our laptop, too many e mails in our inbox, too many old contacts in our phones. This virtual clutter can cause us to lose a contract, a new client or a dream job because it took too long to scroll through, find and respond in a timely fashion. Clutter should be tackled a little at a time so as not to be too overwhelming. Release old, unwanted items, sell them on craigslist or ebay, donate them to charity, give them to friends or family. As you do so, you will begin to feel the energy lift. The space will feel lighter and brighter. Best of all, it opens up space for new energy and the things you truly desire. Virtual clutter can be rectified by organizing what you need and deleting what is no longer useful. You will free up space on your electronic devices and be able to locate things quickly and easily.

The third tip is to visualize what it means to reach your goals. Imagine it’s 2014 and you are reflecting on how successful 2013 was. What would it look like, feel like, sound like, smell like, et cetera? Take a few minutes every day to close your eyes and ponder these questions. Would you finally be taking your once in a lifetime vacation? Would you indulge in an extravagant gift for yourself or a loved one? Would you pay off your mortgage and all your debt? Find items that represent what success means to you and add them to your bedroom or work space. If you simply lack funds at this time to purchase something, be creative. Search the Internet or magazines for images that represent what success means to you. Cut them out and frame them or create a vision board using glue and cardboard. Maybe music is what moves you? Download it, listen to it and even dance to it, if appropriate. The more you see yourself reaching and surpassing your goals, the more momentum of synchronistic energy to achieve them.

This year is Your Time to Shine, be proactive and take charge of your future. It can be all you wished for and much, much more.
