Emotional Feng Shui means to create:
– lightness, where there is no darkness
– internal happiness
– a positive impact on the atmosphere
What causes blockages/barriers of energy?
1. Barriers come because we don’t want to change our thinking patterns. Apply emotional Feng Shui to your attitude: ‘There is always benefit behind whatever happens’. Then take responsibility for how you think and respond.
2. Dependency on other people for our wellbeing. This creates fear of losing that support.
3. Resisting: I get worn out using negative energy to try to change things.
4. Reacting: an emotional outburst. This comes from lack of self esteem.
5. Suppressing feelings because I need someone’s approval.
6. Comparison: I establish my standards according to what I see others doing.
The one that is fed the most wins in a fight. If I feed negative thoughts, they will win.
How can I change these self destructive behaviours?
These deep negative thoughts come from lack of self awareness.
1. Self awareness:
I am the one who is creating my thoughts.Take responsibility. Self realisation brings the energy of happiness.
a. Accept and forgive yourselft. This needs courage.
b. Before going after physical achievements, first be who you really are. What memorial do I want to leave behind?
c. Learn to talk to yourself in a way that enhances and energises you.
d. Have faith in the self; I have the resources to deal with whatever comes in front of me.
By getting rid of the clutter, I can build up my energy. If I don’t refine my thoughts, I can’t grow.
Do I enjoy being with myself, in tune with my thoughts and feelings? This is what we call meditation.
e. Appreciate yourself. We search for qualities outside, but they are inside. So I don’t have to beg for approval and respect.
f. Be honest with your feelings instead of suppressing them.
The best time for meditation is in the morning. Also, for a minute every hour stop and be self aware. Where was my mind in the last 59 minutes? Come back to that inner calm; enjoy a scene in your mind. Doing this keeps us on track. Give yourself a positive injection.
I can make a difference: when I am happy, people around me become happy.
Do I believe that I can do this?
Faith –a determined thought- is needed.
Go away and apply these things and see. I have to do it, nobody else.
Courage, determination and self belief, then I can do it.
Negative thoughts: understand where they are coming from. First be peaceful then I can track them back and change them.
