Feng Shui of House Numbers: it’s no accident!

January 21st, 2010 Posted in Feng Shui Tips | 12 Comments »

There are no accidents. You subconsciously choose your specific home for a reason. Apart from the energy patterns in the shape of your home, you can also look at the numerology of your house number you discover additional energies that are supporting you, and energy that’s there to provide the lessons you need. The more aware you are of the energies impacting you, the more you can intentionally use them to empower you on your journey through life.

Each vibration gives you what you need. Here you can discover the energy you were unconsciously attracted to when you chose your home, present and past. Used in conjunction with Feng Shui you have tools to use in choosing your next home.

How to calculate the numerology of your home:

Clutter Holds Your Dreams

January 14th, 2010 Posted in Clutter Busting, Creating Change, Detoxing, Feng Shui Tips, Law of Attraction, Raw Food | 1 Comment »

Under that busyness, the overwhelm, the extra weight, the piles of stuff in your home and the stuffed full garage, something is lurking. And it’s not just dust, lost keys and your past life.

If you have lots of clutter, you probably know what it’s like to want to run away. You don’t feel comfortable in your own home, maybe not even in your own skin. There’s no space to breathe. No space for passion or inspiration. No space for you! Just very stuck energy.

Clutter has a hold on you. As does your TV, your cell phone, your closet and especially your kitchen counter. Clutter has its grip on you, and on your dreams. There is no space in your head or anywhere else.

And where is your energy, attention and focus? On the overwhelm, the piles, the extra weight, the full schedule, right? So what do you get more of? Overwhelm, piles, weight etc. The Law of Attraction brings you more of what you focus on. For some reason the Universe gets the idea that’s what you want more of - or you wouldn’t be focusing on it.

Meantime, your dreams are lurking beneath your squeezed life force. They might have been there for so long that you don’t even remember what they are, or perhaps that you ever had any.

It doesn’t need to be this way.

5 Tips to loosen the Grip Clutter Has on Your Dreams

How to make your intentions work for you

January 7th, 2010 Posted in Creating Change, Feng Shui Tips, Intentions | 2 Comments »

Everything about you is intentional now!

How do you know what your intention was? Take a look at your results, what you’re attracting. Either you set a conscious intention, or you settled for your default intention - you know the one, it’s what you just naturally attract. Sometimes it’s what you want, sometimes not.

You have the ability to create your life as you want it - and you’ll get feedback from the Universe pretty fast. Why not use this to create your year?

I’ve just taken a couple of days to get intentional about my 2010. You can do this too.

Imagine it’s December 31, 2010 and you’re looking back on what changed for you. What made your heart sing this year? What are you grateful for?

Take some quiet time to write about how your year was. This exercise is like the Order Book process - not only does it help you visualize what you’d like to have happen, but it also sets powerful energy in motion to start attracting those things to you. The more you include details and emotions in this the more powerful it will be.

Feng Shui Strategies for Success in 2010

Once you’ve written your gratitude list, choose one dream to focus on for now. The best is one that is both a wee bit scary and is also exciting.

When you consider this aspect of your life, which Gua could do with a boost of energy? It’s not always the Wealth & Prosperity area - they’re all connected. Perhaps it’s the Knowledge & Self-cultivation area to support you to learn the lessons you need to learn to make a shift in who you’re being. While a little goes a long way in Feng Shui, you can always add an enhancement to more than one Gua for extra support.

Next, look at the list below and choose an enhancement to support your intention.

You’ll notice the areas of the Bagua paired below are diagonally opposite each other – this means they are intimately linked, one supports the other. You can map the Bagua on your home and on each room. To find where these areas are in your space and how to map it, check out Bagua Map.

And here is a Bagua Map you can print and carry around your home as you see where the different areas are.

1. Connect with your purpose and your passion
The Career area (water) represents life purpose. And the Fame & Reputation area (fire) is about passion, visibility and integrity. Integrity is about living a ‘whole’ life, expressing your authentic self – the one with dreams and passions and things you are here to do in this lifetime.

Great enhancements to support you in these areas are:
Career – a water fountain, picture of water, anything black
Fame & Reputation – candles, anything red, stars

2. Connect with your spirit
Your outer life is a reflection of your inner life. This area is about balancing outer success with inner peace and being able to enjoy your accomplishments. The Knowledge & Self Cultivation area of the Bagua is where you learn the lessons you need to learn to connect with your Spirit. And this is connected with the Love & Relationship area where you are given gifts of other people in your life and learn from them – particularly difficult people. What are the lessons you need to learn?

Knowledge & Self Cultivation – a great place to meditate, have a picture of mountains, symbols of wisdom & knowledge.
Love & Relationships – pairs of things, letters of appreciation, symbols of teamwork

3. Address any negative beliefs and take inspired actions
Your doubts and voices telling you that you can’t do something are what stand in the way of achieving your dreams. It’s important to address these, and to have your ‘family of choice’ around you to cheer you on. The Health & Family area supports you in addressing unfinished family issues and creating a healthy and fulfilled life, living your potential.

The Children & Creativity area supports you to take inspired actions. Sometimes you don’t go for your dreams because you don’t know how to do it. You don’t have to know how – trust it will unfold as you ask your higher self and others for the next step. Take bite size pieces keeping your outcome firmly in view.

Health & Family – healthy plants, family pictures, symbols of good health
Children & Creativity – items associated with happy childhood memories, symbols of creativity such as children’s paintings, creative projects

4. Enlist the support of your environment and helpful people
Live with what you love, and surround yourself with symbols of where you are going, not where you’ve been.

The Wealth & Prosperity area represents abundance of all good things. Prosperity, good feelings, fulfillment, love, success. And every other area of the Bagua affects it. You reflect the energy of your environment so you want that energy to be the highest it can be. No clutter bogging you down, no reminders of things you don’t want in your life. No-one ever created anything without the help of others. The Helpful People area represents anything which supports you to achieve your dreams – workshops, mentors, books etc.

Wealth & Prosperity: Anything that gives you a feeling of abundance, anything you would like more of.
Helpful People & Travel: a globe to symbolize travel or global expansion in your business, pictures of anyone who is helpful to you.

5. Be in alignment with your authentic self
The Center is where it all comes together – your dreams, passions, beliefs, environment, actions and your outcomes. This is when attraction happens effortlessly.

Enhancements for the Center
Pottery and earth tones, meditation area, symbols of harmony and balance.

You don’t need to do something in every area. Start with an area that represents one of your big intentions for 2009 and place an enhancement there - with intention. Then stay open to attracting what you need.

Once you’ve placed your enhancement: what is one action you can take today to move you towards your intention? Even taking a very small step will set powerful energy in motion, supported by the enhancement you places.

If you would like support to discover what’s next and make it happen in the next 12 months, I’ll be sharing the tools I’ve used to create powerful shifts, in the Bring on Your Magical 2010 program. We begin next week!

Wishing you all the dreams you can dream of in 2010. May you live fully and passionately.

What are you most passionate about?

January 4th, 2010 Posted in Creating Change, Inspiration & Passion, Intentions | No Comments »

I love the sound of 20/10 - not only a New Year, but also a new decade - and what better opportunity to really go for what you want!

I’m just putting the finishing touches to the Bring on your Magical 2010 program - this ONE TIME ONLY program starts in just one week and already those who have already registered are noticing things shifting in their lives.

So, what are you most passionate about? See my card above? This represents one of my top 5 passions - being location independent, especially in winter - ahhhh, somewhere warm! This is definitely next for me - if I had made this card last year, I’d be sitting somewhere a lot warmer right now!

I’m going to share with you the same process I used that led me to living ON the water, and just in the last 2 weeks, led me to buying my VW Beetle - by the way: I knew Oprah had good taste - just last night as I was looking for images to use on my cards I saw Oprah with her green VW Beetle in the O magazine - she has a convertible (for California weather no doubt), apart from that we have identical cars!

And I had no idea how I was going to live near water, or get any kind of car when I started!

You may be thinking you’re not sure what your dream is. Most people couldn’t tell you if you asked them – not specifically.

But that’s the really cool thing about the process I’m going to walk you through in the Bring on your Magical 2010 program – you’ll get super clear about your passions. That’s where it all starts!

Your passions are not far beneath the surface I promise you – but they often get buried in the busy-ness of life. 

IF you’d love to know what you’re most passionate about – and what your purpose here is – you’ll get that in the first week of this program.

I’ll be creating a safe space for your precious dreams to come forward and from there you’ll create your very own vision cards – which by the way, is the most powerful Feng Shui enhancement you can use because it holds so much personal significance for you.

I know it can be scary, especially when you don’t know what you might create, or how your life may change – but more than likely you’ll wonder why you didn’t do this amazing, exciting, inspiring, passion filled thing, years ago!!

What I’ve discovered is that the Universe is just waiting for you to open just a crack in your armor – enough for the light to get in as Leonard Cohen says! All it takes is a small opening so you can start receiving exactly what’s waiting there for you.

And how do you know what that is?

It’s whatever you can imagine – if you’re imagining it, it means it’s already in your energy field – and once you know what you’re most passionate about – imagining something awesome for yourself will be easy - so, are you ready to find out what’s waiting for you?

The Bring on Your Magical 2010 program is a very special program – you’ll be tapping into your Spirit and the energy of the Universe to attract what you want. 

Creating a life you love, is really just about getting out of your own way to discover what you are most passionate about, and then having the support to go for it! Easy!

If you’re ready to go for it, and discover what lights you up, juices your creativity, brings your spirit alive – This is a personal invitation from me to you, to join us. I’m very excited to find out what we create together. I’m ready with MY passions – and ready to help YOU discover yours. Come join us!

Warning! Do not participate in one of Vicky’s programs unless you are prepared for a transformation. I have found some amazing changes in my life during this program. I have shifted the center of my world from a place of “just doing the best that I can” to a place of having the power to create my life. This is such a powerful change that women should be warned before they participate. A world of thanks for helping me in this significant change, Vicky! ~ Jane Mack, TX

Bring on your Magical 2010

December 31st, 2009 Posted in Creating Change, Inspiration & Passion, Law of Attraction | No Comments »

Wow, it’s here - the last day of this decade and apparently a blue moon tonight - a blue moon happens when there are two full moons in the same month - so this seems like a great opportunity to think big because we all know…..once in a blue moon amazing things happen!

Watch for something special in your Inbox probably tomorrow - no time to go into it now because:

Tonight we have our roving gourmet dinner here in the marina - 5 houses, 5 courses, no driving, and we just need to make sure we don’t fall in the water in between!

We’re starting at my house with appetizers and cocktails - so, before I go make my yummy raw appetizers and clean my house……

I wanted to share these cards with you. You could call them passion cards, attraction cards, vision cards, soul cards or anything else, but they are inspired by SoulCollage, a creative way of delving into yourself, developed by Seena Frost. These cards were made by my clients.

I’ve always made vision boards - they are incredibly powerful. After I moved to my houseboat last year, I looked at one I’d made for my raw food journey, only to discover I had added a photo of 2 houseboats in the Knowledge & Self Cultivation corner - because it made me feel at peace - it’s almost spooky how I ended up living on a houseboat - I had no inkling when I made that collage!

More recently I’ve been making passion cards and working with clients to create their own. First I help them get really clear about what their top passions are. Being clear about your passions is the secret to attracting what you want. Tapping into that energy makes it really easy. It’s how I attracted my houseboat, my new car, and more! But, often clients don’t think they’re passionate about anything when we start talking…..

I didn’t think I had any passions. I had gotten so focused on grinding away at life that I had stuffed them down. Turns out I’m a person with a lot of passions and there really is no other choice in life than to live your passions and feed your soul. – Joan Lohmann, WA

These vision cards are usually made on 8.5″ x 5″ card. My suggestion to you is to connect with what you are most passionate about, choose 3 or 4 big dreams for 2010 and make a card for each. Find images and sometimes words that put you in the feeling place of your passions. This is what we’ll be doing in the Bring on Your Magical 2010 program, after participants have discovered what their top passions are. Powerful stuff.

When I look back on the last couple of years - dropping 35lb, buying my houseboat, doubling my business, getting my VW beetle, and a lot more besides, most of these changes were on my radar screen at the start of those years. But I do believe setting a theme for the year and focusing on who I was be-ing, opened up something bigger. It’s rather magical and exciting when you think about it. And with a blue moon - what might be possible in this coming year?

I know how easy it is to sit in my comfort zone. I’m proud of the changes I’ve brought to who I’m being and what I’m doing - AND I know there’s a lot more to come. This year one of my goals was to spend winter somewhere warm - and where’s the warmth right now (apart from in my heart)?? Thank goodness for heated seats in my VW Beetle - that’s all I can say! I stayed in my comfort zone with this one! But not for long!

Can you relate?

You can probably guess what one of my passion cards will be for 2010!

Oh, and as most of my clients have learned, the moment you commit to something, the Universe starts lining things up for you. If this resonates, why not get even more value by grabbing your spot now. There are only a few places left - I’m keeping this group small so I can give you the personal attention you need to really refine your passions - I love seeing what emerges for clients - it’s always a surprise - for them too!

======================================================

What would your life look like if you could have it be any way you wanted? Who would you BE?

I’m excited to see what you set in motion for yourself.

Namaste,

7 Things I know for sure about what is possible!

December 28th, 2009 Posted in Creating Change, Inspiration & Passion | 9 Comments »

As a child, when I was told I couldn’t do something or have something I became really good at convincing myself I didn’t really want it! I didn’t want to watch TV anyway! I didn’t want to go somewhere with my friends anyway!

So there!

And as an adult when I told myself I couldn’t have something I managed to shove it so far back in my consciousness that I forgot I ever wanted it. Less painful than wanting something I couldn’t have. Except that as an adult it was ME telling myself I couldn’t have it!

That’s what happened with my car. My car recently became not long for this world. Everytime I drove it I wasn’t sure if I’d get home again - a major toleration. And for quite some time I racked my brains about what to do about it - not only that, but which car did I even want to drive?!

Completely forgetting that 10 years ago I had fallen in love with a VW Beetle I told myself I couldn’t have.

Why am I telling you this?

Well, you may have done something similar with one of your cherished dreams. And no matter how far down you shove it, they do have a habit of popping up - perhaps to see if you’re ready now!!

VW Beetles have been popping up in my consciousness recently. I decided to test drive one to make sure I really did like them. And what’s the harm in test driving one even though I can’t have one, right?

Perhaps test driving the Beetle did it….. a chink of light got in that allowed what I really wanted to sneak up on me! I started feeling really excited about this car! I couldn’t help it. My friends commented on my energy, my smile, whenever I talked about a VW Beetle. Gosh it even has my initials - that must mean something, right? I’m VBW - it’s VWB.

And that’s when all kinds of possibilities opened up - I started seeing myself driving one. It was like the Universe now knew I was listening and all kinds of synchronicity happened. I did what I suggest my clients do - I started taking action towards it even though I had no idea how it could happen.

Just so you know what a big thing this is - I’ve never even had a car that was worth getting comprehensive insurance on before! I’ve only ever had the basic insurance that insured the other person and their vehicle when I drove!

A few days ago I drove off the lot in my new car! Heated seats, flower in the vase, and all!

Something that never fails to shock me is how easy it is to deny I even have a dream especially when I don’t know how it might be possible - last year it was living near water - when I challenged my belief that I couldn’t afford that - I moved to my dream home ON the water!

This year when I challenged my belief that I couldn’t afford the car I really wanted, it all happened easily.

In my work with clients I see this all the time - I’ve become really good at challenging their assumptions about what is not possible. Most of the time they do not even realize they are making assumptions. And that’s where it all starts. Read the rest of this entry »

Completing the Year that Was….2009

December 17th, 2009 Posted in Clutter Busting, Intentions, Simplifying | No Comments »

You still have more than a month to complete 2009!

I go by the Chinese New Year, and on February 14, 2010 the Year of the Tiger begins. This means you have over a month to complete the past year and make space for the new one. Lucky break eh?

Taking some quiet time to look back on the year just gone and reminding yourself of where you are, brings both a sense of completion and a reminder of your wins. Let’s face it, you likely pay more attention to where you’ve yet to get to and what isn’t working, than your success and the gifts you’ve gained along the way.

This is an opportunity to drink in some truth about yourself and start to redress the balance. You’ve experienced success for sure. This is worth celebrating! And is fun too!

And, remember the definition of clutter? Anything unfinished, unused, unresolved, tolerated or disorganized.

What’s unfinished for you? You are very familiar with physical clutter and how it bogs you down, but wait, there’s more. Clutter can also appear in your relationship with others, intentions you made last year but you no longer feel passionate about, and successes you haven’t acknowledged yourself for and celebrated. And if you don’t stop for a moment to really own your insights and what you learned about yourself in the last year, that’s more unfinished business.

Questions to complete your year

20 Questions to Profoundly Impact your Life!

December 14th, 2009 Posted in Creating Change, Self Care | No Comments »

Each of us were impacted in some way by 9/11. I’ve just read a book by a woman who was in one of the buildings that was hit. After 9/11, questioning what she was doing with her life, she decided to unplug from the world for a year. She left her high paying, high flying corporate job and took off to Africa to volunteer. She never did go back to Corporate America.

For me, nothing quite so dramatic, but after 9/11 I did ask myself: if I had only one week to live, what would I regret not having done?

I immediately got the answer. For a few years I had REALLY wanted to swim with dolphins and each year it wasn’t convenient for one reason or another and I told myself I’d do it next year. What if there was no next year? I saw myself very clearly, on my death bed, regretting I had never made my dream important enough.

One month later I was in Costa Rica swimming with dolphins in the wild. And you know what? The money appeared, nothing in my life was too disrupted, and I had an amazing experience I’d been dreaming of for years!

I’ve become very aware of the power of questions. Today I’d like to share 20 of my favorite questions. Questions that have impacted my life profoundly. They’re great if you’re feeling a bit stuck, but will help move you along your chosen path at any time!

20 Questions to profoundly impact your life!

1. If I had only one week to live, what would I regret not having done?

2. What would I attempt if I knew you could not fail?

3. If I go faster will I ever catch up?

4. Does my home and workspace inspire me and raise my energy?

5. If not, what is bugging me the most? (start there!)

6. If I didn’t feel guilty, what’s one thing I’d do for myself this today?

7. What’s my favorite way to waste time?

8. To live my ideal life, what needs to change?

9. What would I love to have more of in my life?

10.What could I do with less of in my life?

11.What would the Dalai Lama do in this situation?

12.Do the people I spend the most time with, raise my energy and bring out my best?

13.What am I not seeing in this situation?

14.What is the gift in this situation for me?

15.What is my favorite way of sabotaging myself and my goals?

16.If I was standing at my front door (or the door into my office) looking in for the first time, what conclusion would I come to about the person who lived/worked here?

17.Who do I need to BE to have a life that’s so delicious and magical I’d be jumping up and down with excitement?

18.What am I resisting right now?

19.Whats my biggest dream for 2010?

20.What needs to change for this to happen?

Make a cup of tea, snuggle up by the fire with your journal, and take any of these questions as a starting point. It’s amazing what you’ll hear when you start listening to the most important person in your world - YOU!

And sometimes just asking the question and letting it float out on the ethers will bring you back big insights!

Check out the Bring on Your Magical 2010 program. If these questions sparked something for you, perhaps the wise woman inside you would love the opportunity to be heard in 2010!

This is your personal invitation to join me. You’ll discover what you are most passionate about, create an attraction plan for 2010 based on that, and use Feng Shui to magnetize it.

AND, you’ll be surrounding yourself with other wise women who are going for something different in 2010. What could be better than that?

With much magic,

PS. Just a reminder - when you register before tomorrow, Tuesday at 9pm PST, you’ll save $50, and just as importantly you’ll bring on the magic now. Why wait till January 1?
