A Spring Ritual To Revive The Front Door

Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.”
– Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
In the Pacific Northwest Spring arrives with undeniably glory. Cherry blossoms kiss the sky with their clouds of pink. Sunny daffodils dance among the tulips while hyacinth perfume the air. Earth’s life force is abundant everywhere. Spring seems to be saying: start fresh, life is limitless,  welcome possibilities.

How do we step into the rhythm of this abundance? Nearly every culture with deep roots has a Spring ritual for the home. The door is the threshold between one’s inner sanctum and the outer environment which gives it the distinction of  symbolizing new beginnings. The Spring ritual (Door Washing Charm with the description below) harmonizes and protects the loving energy of the hearth and home. When performing the Spring ritual, a spiritual space unfolds that encourages focus whereby one’s intentions can sflow. The use of the fragrance of orange is part of my Feng Shui tradition so this Spring ritual from the Goddess and the Green Man perfectly dovetails with the teachings I share.

This simple charm helps to safeguard the home and boost harmonious energies within. And who knows it might be a magical gift for your visitors too.

Materials

3 drops of orange essential oil. It invites good fortune, happiness and contentment.
2 drops of clove essential oil. Clove oil encourages courage and protection.
2 drops of lime essential oil for purification and love
Hot water
A white cloth
A bowl or bucket

Procedure

Place all the essential oils into your bowl and pour hot water over them. When the water has cooled stir well in a clockwise fashion. Next take your cloth and gently wipe your door starting in the center, work outwards in a clockwise movement. While you are doing this, say three times (either out loud or silently): “I protect this home and shield all within. Love, peace and harmony, I call you in…”

When you have completed the ritual, wring your cloth out under running water, dry it thoroughly and keep it for future cleansing. Where it is safe, pour your water outside. Feel the love and joy of spring.

A Good Fortune Cure For Difficult Times

“A wise man turns chance into good fortune.”
– Thomas Fuller

You know that ecstatic moment when you receive the call you were awarded the job or you won a mini vacation. That’s evidence you were in the flow of positive energy. The Chinese call it good fortune. It’s available to everyone at anytime, but there are times when life is stalled and difficult. How do you get opportunities knocking at your door again? Turning to the secrets of Feng Shui have been mine and my clients antidote. Here’s how a client flipped his story from fear of failure to good fortune. He had become so successful he outgrew his clinic. It didn’t take him long and he found the perfect venue, a Feng Shui jewel. He was excited for me to see it and advise him on the details. When I arrived at the location he looked anxious, that morning he had just receive bad news, a firm was vying for the same space too. Doubting he didn’t have the leverage to get the contract, he imagined every possible scenario of failure. I said there are BSTB Feng Shui cures for times like this and you will secure the suite. My client and I have worked together several times. He hired me to consult for his current clinic, later his home and he has sent referrals my way. After implementing adjustments for those spaces, the shift in energy from the Feng Shui adjustments allowed him to create the success he had dreamt about. Even with his doubts about the new space  he believed in Feng Shui and yes, he secured the contract. Would you like to know what he did?

There were several but here is the one that is universal to most situations to help you be prepared when the opportunity of your dreams comes knocking.

Introducing A Desirable Dream
Materials
Pen and Paper (if you choose to draw your wish)
Your pillow
Procedure
• See your dream come true. How did it happen? See the steps you took to get to your goal. What was the first step, what was the last step? What are the steps in between?
• Choose nine steps which tell the story from beginning to end.
• See the nine images, in sequence, at your third eye, with the following exception: replace one step with a picture of an event that has already happened and is totally unrelated. This should not be the first nor the last step.
• To enhance your visualization, draw these steps in sequence on a sheet of paper, remembering the exception.
• Place the paper with the nine pictures where you will see it throughout the day.
• At least nine times during the day (once upon awakening and once at bedtime), visualize your dream coming true. Walk your mind, in sequence, through all nine steps. Remember to see the images at your third eye.
• Before going to sleep, stand at the foot of your bed facing the head, holding your pillow. Look up to your third eye and see the dream images at your third eye. Turn the pillow over nine times, making nine full revolutions away from your body. Then turn it over to the left nine times, again making nine full revolutions.
• Visualize your dream coming true within twenty-seven days.
• Repeat the visualization for nine consecutive days.

Nine is the number of completion and peak accomplishment. In the Chinese language it is synonymous with the word forever. It amplifies the intention and desire of the recipients wishes and intentions. Use it well and it will serve you well.
