Ooohhh I’m SO excited to have you here to share with you my Feng Shui Top Tips to create your Office for success.

Ken, have you had financial difficulty this year?

My husbands jaw dropped and shivers went up his spine. I nearly fell of the chair in shock. How did she know? Ken is self employed and his main contractor that year had not paid him for over 6 months.

He was on the verge of bankruptcy. As we delved into the energy of our home we discovered that the financial crisis we were going through was not our fault and could have been easily resolved.

Our house had been in a Money Lock. Thankfully it all got resolved (using Feng Shui it could have been avoided) We were in the first day of our official training as Feng Shui Consultants. I had been interested in Feng Shui since I was sixteen reading books and doing a bit of DIY Feng Shui, but nothing prepared me for the power of what we were getting ourselves into and the transformations that it would have on our lives, business and simultaneously our clients lives and businesses when we embraced Feng Shui on a deeper level.

This is what I intend to share with you in this book is some easy practical tips to get you started with creating an office environment that is magnetic to your dreams and allows your business to soar to success.

Feng Shui is not just about moving furniture around, knocking walls, hanging lucky trinkets and getting rid of mirrors.

Feng Shui is not about superstition or superstitious practices. Feng Shui isn’t just for the ‘hippies’ and woo woo peeps…

Feng Shui is used all over the world by big companies, major corporations and the rich and famous around the globe to improve their lives and businesses.

To top it all off… you don’t have to believe in Feng Shui for it to work for you.

Well then what is it?

Feng Shui is a 4,000 year old practice that is highly respected and considered a sacred practice in China.

Feng Shui is a practical and tangible method for increasing abundance, health and

wellbeing.

The irony of our lives in the modern day is we spend most of our entire lives struggling to increase our abundance and then spend billions of dollars universally trying to improve our health.

When there is an ancient tool! aka Feng Shui that can support you to just that with ease and flow.

I like to describe Feng Shui as Acupuncture for your home or office, as it uses the same five element theory as Traditional Chinese Medicine, Tai Chi, Qi Gong and Acupuncture.

Feng Shui is all about energy and working positively with the energy in your environment to enhance all aspects of your life and business.

If you haven’t got the vibe yet Feng Shui rocks my world and the world of my clients! I also want to set you straight in this guide for you office and business. I’m going to give you things that you can do for yourself and easy changes that you can implement to enhance your space but the basis of Feng Shui is not generic. It is very specific.

The biggest and most important thing about Feng Shui, is that each and every building, home or business has its own unique energetic blueprint.

Just like our own date of birth, signature energy, your building has its very own too. It has it's own personality, history and imprint on the world.

This is a level deeper than what I can cover today but its what I do to discover the houses story and energetic imprint.

I’m SO excited to have you here to share with you my Feng Shui Top Tips to create your Office for success.

Copyright © 2016 Biz Brilliance & Patricia Lohan

This is a MUST for a happy, productive and successful business in all offices and homes.

Your office & desk is the visual representation of your business. Tune in now and ask … how does it feel? If you are feeling overwhelm at the thought of this question, take a deep breath and look around, see what you know is not necessary in your office space, that is blocking your creativity and flow into your business.

It’s time to do a clear out and make space for new opportunities and make your office reflect exactly how you want your business to grow and expand.

Increases Stress Levels

Wastes our time: At home and in the office, people waste thousands of hours of valuable time each year searching for missing information or objects, or just anguishing over their messy surroundings.

Lack of focus and clarity.

You feel stuck professionally, creatively, spiritually and financially.

Copyright © 2016 Biz Brilliance & Patricia Lohan

•••

Attract more clients, abundance As you start to clear your clutter, you will become much lighter and happier. Clutter clearing gets you out of your rut, feel energized and momentum for yourself and your business.

••••

You will become more clear-headed, focused or insightful. Full of clarity

You have greater confidence in your abilities and decisions, so you feel more hopeful and optimistic about the future.

Clearing out your clutter creates space for possibility, new opportunities and new ideas.

Proper organization can bring revitalization to almost every area of your life. Imagine the time you’ll have to do the things you really want to do when you learn to manage your daily activities effortlessly!

Copyright © 2016 Biz Brilliance & Patricia Lohan

Paperwork, Old documents (old businesses, bills, receipts,appraisal forms, bank statements)

••••

Books (if you’ve read them already – are you going to read them again? Equipment & Stationary that you no longer use Anything BROKEN! Eliminate anything unrelated to building your empire this cause a distraction e.g. exercise equipment, children’s toys, suitcases

••••

Keep your screen clear (perhaps put your vision board on it) Get rid of unwanted files on your computer Delete emails and unwanted email addresses Use Unroll.me to unsubscribe from emails.

Once your office is clear of the clutter and excess stuff… the next step is set up of your office.

Copyright © 2016 Biz Brilliance & Patricia Lohan

I know this sounds basic but on sooo many levels it’s VITAL. If you are going to be the queen bee you need to sit in a seat the says I’m the BOSS. It also means you are comfortable when you’re working so that you can flow and allow the good things to flow into your world.

Ensure to have a comfortable supportive chair ideally with a high back – this give you support (physically but also emotionally and spiritually).

Set up your desk in your Power Position. Your ‘Power Position’ is sitting so that you can see the door and see all of the opportunities coming your way and being supported from behind, aka have a wall behind you.

Copyright © 2016 Biz Brilliance & Patricia Lohan

There must be a solid wall behind the chair. Avoid setting up any desk with your back to the door or a window. Desk should also not be placed in front of a window. Desk should not be facing a toilet door. Arrange desks facing the same direction to avoid office politics. Desk should be made out of wood. Desk should not be placed under exposed beams or spotlights. The shape of the desk should be rounded at the front to avoid pointed corners.

I know you have to keep some files for legal purposes and books for reference. I LOVE enclosed storage (when it’s neatly organised!!)

So if you have a choice between open shelves and covered storage I would pic the later but here some guidelines to storing what you have to keep.

Keep books brought to the edge of the bookshelves

Keep your files and storage labelled clearing

Try to minimize open shelving units these can lead to distraction & clutter

Copyright © 2016 Biz Brilliance & Patricia Lohan

Yes! You can Feng Shui your Filing System by colour coding your files to Energise them for Success.

So here are file colours that will help you attract more abundance, clients and success to you along with decreasing bills!

Investment and banking account information and statements in red folders.

Bills into blue or black folders so they aren't energized.

Clients in green folders for growth.

Prospective clients in red folders.

Things you would like to manifest in purple folders; purple is the color of magic.

The best Feng Shui art is the art that brings you a vibrant quality of energy that lifts and nourishes your personal energy.

Having art work that you love and things that inspire you is very useful because they are positively affecting your subconscious all day.

If there is a photo or painting in your office that you do not like (say it reminds you of your least favorite person or place) remove it!

Art is an excellent way to help create the symbols and images needed to help bring in good Chi to you, take a look around your home and office. What does your choice of artwork say about you?

Do you have pieces that you love and that inspire you or do you have pieces that no longer reflect who you are or who you want to be right now. Evaluate these and if they no longer fit who you are right now and the life you have chosen to lead, then they are ready to leave your environment.

Whether life imitates art or art imitates life, be sure that the art you choose to have in your environment is art that reflects the kind of life you want to enjoy. The art should represent the values you cherish and resonate with the joy you are choosing for your life today.

To create better teamwork in an office, have a group picture of all the staff together. Have a family photo on your desk to make you smile throughout the day. Place a picture of a solid mountain behind your desk this gives you support and protection against office politics and helps get your work and efforts recognized.

In a business it’s not a good idea to have a picture of stormy weather; a lot of the time, this will lead to stormy business.

A similar situation is having a picture of boats tide up against a dock. This shows the company can be stuck.

A vision board at it’s core, is a visual representation of all of the things that you want to do, be, and have in your life.

It’s a daily reminder of those things. Something you can look at every single day to remind you of your deepest desires. And it’s powerful.

Because the thing is, ATTENTION is powerful, and where your attention goes, your energy flows. And don’t you want your attention focused on the things that you want to attract in your life? So what is a vision board?

Copyright © 2016 Biz Brilliance & Patricia Lohan

The first and most important priority is to make sure you can see the entrance to your cube from your desk.

Get yourself in a powerful and empowered position. If you can't see the entrance to your cubicle when you are working at your desk, place a mirror somewhere in front of you so you can see the reflection of the door or opening. Make sure your workspace is pleasing to your eye, uncluttered and comfortable to work in.

Consider using a curved keyboard designed to be easy on the hands and wrists. Choose an optical scan mouse that allows you to scroll more easily and that doesn't require a mouse pad—you can do without the clutter.

Bring living and flowing energy into your workspace. These features are important ways of compensating for the small size of your space and the constant traffic flows that pass by your cube.

Most probably, your cubicle will not have any windows to let you see the outside world. In such a case, you can hang some pictures of landscapes on the walls. It creates the illusion of windows and will help the flow of good Chi and also make you feel relaxed and at ease.

Bring a plant into your space; you can stimulate more active, vibrant energy. Install full-spectrum lighting instead of fluorescent lights. Avoid sharp angles pointing at people as they create attacking energy. Create employment goals and decide which aspects of your career you would like to enhance. Keep it simple; focus on one or two improvements at a time. Now, make a firm commitment to yourself to achieve these goals.

Copyright © 2016 Biz Brilliance & Patricia Lohan

Ensure that your cubicle is clean and free of any dust and garbage. From cabinets and drawers, to monitor and keyboard, everything should be free of dirt. As a cleaning solution, you can use a natural combination of water, vinegar and tea tree oil.

Discard everything that you do not need and will not require in the future.

Copyright © 2016 Biz Brilliance & Patricia Lohan

If there is another business across the way, then your office entrance should not be smaller than the other businesses.

Always keep the customers coming in the right side door, and out the left side door. The main entrance should be well lit, well marked and be free of obstacles. The reception area should be warm and welcoming. The receptionist should not be in direct line of the entrance—too much Chi (receptionist may not last long in the position).

Ceiling or walls seeping water or moisture with cracks can indicate financial loss. Ceilings should be high; if too low, it will create a feeling of pressure and can hinder the progress of the business.

The office of the boss should not be next to a water tap as this could lead to financial loss.

The office of the highest authority should be located the furthest from the front entrance.

It is best when office doors do not open directly across from each other. All living things such as plants and aquariums should be thriving healthy and well cared for.

Always have items that allow you to feel comfortable around you.

Copyright © 2016 Biz Brilliance & Patricia Lohan

Use natural and/or full spectrum light as much as possible. Plants absorb potentially harmful gases and clean the air. During the day they take the air we breathe out and recycle it.

Only have things around that inspire you and make you feel good. What do you see when you look out your window? Windows represent how you look out on life. Do you look at the world through a murky lens? Regularly cleaning your windows and office, including emptying garbage bins daily, will keep the energy fresh.

    The Crystal Movement May Not Turn You On, but What About a More Practical Use?

    Art & Architecture The Crystal Movement May Not Turn You On, But What About a More Practical Use? Written by Lane Nieset Published on July 30, 2018 Stepping into Taryn Toomey’s TriBeCa fitness studio, The Class, comes with recognition of a common theme—crystals. Jagged “healing” clear quartz clings to light fixtures and crushed rose quartz, black onyx and amethyst lay hidden under the pale oak floor planks, where the former Christian Dior fashion executive-turned- fitness guru leads yoga-inspired sessions attended by supermodels like Christy Turlington Burns. The flickering candles and strategically placed crystals offer as much of a cathartic effect as the lithely blonde who simultaneously dances and DJs to Coachella-style beats, commanding students to “Get fucking angry” and let out pent-up emotions through animalistic roars. Equal parts therapy session and serious body sculpting, quartz- covered lighting (à la Kelly Wearstler) sets the scene here just as much as the beauty products lining the marble bathroom shelves. With the meditation and mindfulness industry pulling in more than $1.1 billion in the United States alone, it was only a matter of time before New Age healing classics like crystals made it to the mainstream market, with everyone from Victoria Beckham (who keeps crystals backstage before fashion shows) to designer Tory Burch (whose stores are decorated with crystal light fixtures) jumping on the balance bandwagon. In regions like Chamonix, where some of the world’s most beautiful smoky quartz is mined in the Mont Blanc massif mountain range, these crystals have served as design inspiration for thousands of years.

    1 Meditation Method for Yin Yang Vision Ƒ

    1 Meditation Method for Yin Yang Vision ƒ This cure is to be given only to those who ask for its wisdom with deep sincerity. It is to be given with discrimination and care, and requires the exchange of 27 envelopes with $10 in each envelope. As a student of the Storyboard, this is not necessary. However, 3 envelopes would be very much appreciated. This meditation is best done with another person. If you are alone, you will need a full-length mirror. Practice this meditation to cultivate your clairvoyance. The power you generate will enhance your Feng Shui readings, and strengthen your ability to analyze personal chi. It will allow you to read the chi of previous lifetimes, and predict the future. It may help you to see why someone is acting in an abnormal way. You may see beyond what is obvious (or knowable). You may be able to “see through” your date or someone you are considering as a marriage partner. This method is simple, yet extremely effective. To increase your accuracy, practice Supreme Yoga Section VI (Six) on a regular basis. Your inspirations will be immediate, accurate, and reliable. Important Notes: What you see will depend upon your visualization during the process. Know what you want or need, and visualize appropriately. If an important day is coming up, or you have to make an important decision on a designated day, you can use this method in the following manner: When you awake, and before you do anything, look in the mirror and perform the Method for Yin Yang Vision.

    Chinese Animal Predictions for 2021. Year of the Yin Metal Ox (Xin Chou)

    Chinese Animal Predictions for 2021. Year of the Yin Metal Ox (Xin Chou) What does 2021 have in store for you? © Written by Daniel Hanna October 2020 “We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day.” The Chinese New Year begins a new cycle of the twelve Chinese zodiac animals and in 2021, this will be the year of the Yin Metal Ox. A change in the Cycle will usually bring a fresh start for the year ahead with hope and promise for some form of success; some animals will face more challenges than others in 2021 although each of the twelve animals will be able to make this a promising year ahead once they are aware of any challenges that may come their way. Everyone in the world was faced with big challenges in 2020 and unfortunately, it is more than likely that this will continue through a lot of 2021, bringing health and financial issues to a large number of the world’s population. The year of the Ox will almost likely come with its share of challenges although it is how we handle obstacles that will define how our year will turn out; all of the twelve Chinese animals have everything in their power to overcome any challenges and make this a successful year and when aware of potential risks, they can minimise and even avoid them during the year of the Ox so please read carefully below.

    Ten Mantra Treasure Gourd a Secret Within a Secret

    Ten Mantra Treasure Gourd ƒ A Secret Within a Secret If you are reading this document, you should also read Ten Mantra Treasure Vase, which is also found in Deep Wisdom: Healing, Main Volume. The sacred gourd will be more effective than the vase to help someone who is possessed or seriously ill, however the sacred vase may be just what you need in your particular circumstance. Review both documents carefully before you make your decision about the appropriate item to use in your situation. It is vitally important to concentrate, focus on the visualizations, and keep your use of this cure to yourself. The suggested number of red envelopes to receive in exchange for this information is 27. Use your utmost discretion as you decide with whom to share this secret of secrets. Materials: One gourd with an easily discernable neck, and with a cap (The size will depend upon use, so keep reading before you make a purchase.) Read A Bit of History at the end of this document. One piece of red ribbon cut either 9 inches in length, or a multiple of 9. It must be long enough to tie around the neck of the gourd. Procedure Before Use of the Gourd: 1. Perform this procedure either between 11 to 1 midday, or 11 to 1 midnight. This is done one time only, and here are Professor’s words about this one-time ritual: The chanting is extremely rich and very strong. You can “always” use the vase, and it will be an “endless resource.” You can draw from it “forever,” and “it will never need a new battery.” However, do not forget to reinforce this power with the Three Secrets each time you use the sacred vase.

    Running head: AGENCY DETECTION IN VR 1 [in press, Religion, Brain, & Behavior, September 2018] Fear the Unseen: Supernatural Belief and Agency Detection in Virtual Reality Adam E. Tratner*1, Todd K. Shackelford1, Virgil Zeigler-Hill1, Jennifer Vonk1, Melissa M. McDonald1 1Oakland University, Rochester, Michigan *Corresponding author: Adam Tratner Email: [email protected] 130 Pryale Hall 654 Pioneer Drive Oakland University Rochester, MI 48309 United States of America AGENCY DETECTION IN VR 2 Acknowledgments: We give special thanks to the reviewers, whose constructive advice afforded significant improvements to this manuscript. Belief in supernatural agents is ubiquitous, as evidenced by its prevalence in religion, folklore, and cultural practices. It is theorized that, given recurrent ancestral risks of predation and frequent contact with other dangerous agents, mechanisms for agency detection may have evolved and play an important role in facilitating belief in supernatural agents. Thus, agency detection and belief in supernatural agents may be correlated in modern populations. College students (N = 107) completed a survey assessing belief in various supernatural phenomena, and participated in a virtual reality (VR) task where they indicated the perceived presence of agents (agency detection). Results indicated that the VR task successfully induced false agency detection such that the majority of participants perceived the presence of an agent at least once where no agent was present. Women reported greater overall supernatural belief than men. False agency detection was not related to belief in supernatural agents, and was instead related to belief in Feng Shui. These findings were unanticipated, and inconsistent with the study’s main hypothesis. Discussion emphasizes theoretical and methodological considerations for future research on agency detection and supernatural belief.

  • Astral Body Meditation Ƒ

    Astral Body Meditation Ƒ

    1 Astral Body Meditation ƒ Dedicated practice of this meditation will remove the concept of “self,” and will help you to become selfless. As you practice, you will remove the concept of an “I.” There will only be emptiness. In this state, no one can harm you with gossip, complaints, criticism, or malicious attacks. You are free from worry and fear. You are free of the eight major sufferings caused by ego and delusion. You no longer insist that you are always right, or make assumptions based only on your own perspective. The procedure is a practice of being out of your body, and examining your own chi. Practice will help you become less self-centered, and to come to the realization that your chi, rather than your physical body, is the real you. The chi that drifts out from your third eye during this meditation is your Buddha nature—the true you—your true self. You will realize that the meditating body is simply your “skin bag.” If you practice regularly, you will be able to reflect upon yourself—to look for any blockages or unhealthy chi, whether physical, mental, or emotional. You will cultivate your ability to self- diagnose, and to heal yourself and others. You may be able to see both past and future lives, thus able to help others better understand their current predicament. Everyone who practices well will create the opportunity to attain enlightenment through a clear mind. Young and old will see themselves clearly, especially important during times of doubt and distress. If anyone is constantly confused about the proper direction to take, this is a very good meditation to practice.
