Emergency Preparedness: Feng Shui Space Protection.

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”
–Margaret Mead

Hurricane Sandy, New York and New Jersey, October 29, 2012. EF5 tornado, Moore, Oklahoma, May 20, 2013. Cascadia Subduction, what is being called The Big One, Pacific Northwest, date unknown. Weather patterns have increased in intensity in the last ten years. That is why I chose to teach Emergency Preparedness, Bless Your Space With Spiritual Protection. I believe Sandy and Moore were wake up calls. The thought of this happening again makes me shiver. But instead of feeling paralyzed I believe it is time to take action. There is evidence to show that instituting a barrier of spiritual protection around your home is a means to surviving devastation, in at least, modify its impact. Here are two stories to support that theory.

Years ago a qigong instructor, Fabien Maman, recounted a story about an earthquake that had totally devastated a remote Chinese mountain village. One building remained and logically should have fallen too. It was a temple where they practiced prayer, meditation and qigong. After the attack on the World Trade Center, St. Paul’s Chapel should have toppled along with the twin towers. The back of the church faces opposite the east side of the World Trade Center. The church survived without even a broken window. Church history declares it was spared by a miracle sycamore on the northwest corner of the property that was hit by debris.

If history repeats and the reports say the affirmative, we may experience heavy weather patterns that lean toward catastrophic in the near future. But this is not unalterable. Space clearing methods are the first line of defense in protecting us from unexpected events. The Emergency Preparedness kit from the Black Sect Tantric Buddhist Feng Shui contains blessing ceremonies and Feng Shui adjustments that address the unexpected.

“Orenda” is alive in everyone. Orenda is an Iroquoian word that means “a mystical force present in all people that empowers them to affect the world or to effect change in their own lives.” BTB ceremonies empower you to express the orenda inside of you. One of its many strengths is the lineage. It supports you as you stand on the shoulders of the tens of thousands who have come before you and used these ceremonies and seen results. If you want to improve the condition of your land; if you have heard miracle stories and wondered how they happened; if you are like me and think now is a good time to help your family, friends and community, I invite you to join me. I believe protecting one home links it to the next and onward until we have a network that can defy disaster big or small.

Right Brain Approach To Clear Clutter

5 Self Care Tips That Move Your Stuff

“Clutter is nothing more than postponed decisions.”
– Barbara Hemphill

If clutter is overwhelming you and you can’t see a way to move forward; if your anxiety has pushed your limits because you think your home should be free of stuff; if your self esteem has dropped to the point where you can’t pull yourself out of your mess, breathe and find your balance again with right brain nourishment that clears clutter. 

Clutter is a consequence of unconscious emotions. When they settle in your mind they migrate to your desk, overflow in your kitchen and fill up your garage. If you’ve worked with an organizer and still mess invades your home, it’s time to first let go of the shame of what you cannot control and then change how you think about your stuff.

We’ve been conditioned to believe that left brain organization is the only solution to clear clutter. This isn’t about taking twenty bins, a friend and a weekend to sort, cull, cry and deny. There are any one of underlying causes: a traumatic event, shift in brain chemistry, nostalgia for the past or a difficult family history. These may trigger confusion, anger, anxiety, self loathing and blame and your life begins to lack lightheartedness. But there is hope, the  key is awareness. Begin with these five self care tips to mentally release and rebalance your Ch’i because ultimately life is about connecting to your birthright of joy, pleasure, freedom and balance. 

Nourish your brain. Need an immediate solution to overwhelm? Using both hands, place all ten fingers on your scalp and tap 108 times. Nine is the vibration of completion. You are pulling excess energy (cul-de-sac thoughts) from your brain and releasing it outside of your head. Notice the space you feel in and around your brain and the clarity you will feel.

Lighten your mind. To create a smooth process of clearing closets, drawers, the basement and garage, clear worry and anxiety from your mind. Go to bed and in the drowsy state, just before falling asleep, direct a visualization to your right brain. Replace worry with a positive vision of what you look forward to–a trip, a funny movie–lighten your mind. Then see the things you love but have difficulty letting go find their way into boxes and binds, perhaps going to a friend or neighbor whom you know would be excited to receive them. You will wake up with an energized mental attitude and be able to face any problems presented to you. Do this over a period of nine nights to see results. 

Seek your level of balance. It’s hard to sort through your things with an unclear mind. During the day stress and clutter accumulate in your energy. Before you can adequately address your messy room, your mind needs to be clear. Take an orange peel bath. Cut nine circles from the skin of an orange and wash your entire body, even your head. Orange fruit is auspicious. Its clarifying essence removes worry and uplifts your Ch’i helping you to balance to focus and clear clutter.

Overcome self loathing. Place a mirror on the wall at the head of the bed. It will allow you to sees all the possibilities for a resolution with your problems related to clear clutter. Set it with this intention and you will have 120% results.

Lift your vitality. You live in the residue of yesterday’s thought. When you feel conflict or want to avoid making a decision, hold your hands left over right, thumbs together and palms up over your dan’tien (at the level of your navel). Take in a deep breath in through your mouth and visualize universal light, positive Ch’i and good luck enter and circulate throughout your body and all your cells. Exhale in eight short puffs with the last one, ninth, expelling all the negative Ch’i, bad luck and obstacles. Repeat nine times. Hold your intention while you perform the procedure and if you know the six true words, chant those nine times. Afterwards pick up an a possession and ask yourself do I want to clear clutter? 

Right brain solutions help you find the right balance. Feel successful when you release habitual thinking. You can perform each tip solo or as a morning ritual with all five. Smoothing your Ch’i frees your mind of heavy emotions and thoughts that keep you stuck. They empower you to clear clutter with focus and confidence.
