9 Ways to Move the Chi In an Office Cubicle

Michelle Cromer March 18, 2024 Leave a Comment

Balance, focus, and productivity are important in any office. Moving the chi in a cubicle can make you feel balanced and harmonious with your surroundings.

Here are some easy suggestions to incorporate into any space:

No Clutter: Energy must flow easily through any space so making any workspace free of clutter is important for focus and to clear out any unnecessary stress.
Color: Bring in some color to the space to promote the energy you wish to accomplish. Green improves health and balance; Blue is calming; Yellow is grounding; Red is action.
Bring in Nature: Especially if there isn’t a window, bringing in plants can help you feel grounded.
Support Your Body: When you are comfortable in your body, you are comfortable in any space. Make sure your chair supports your back and your desk suits your height. When your mind isn’t focused on pain, your brain can focus on work.
Desk Position: If you can, move your desk to a commanding position so you can clearly see anyone who enters your space. This gives you the advantage of controlling your space.
Clean Desk: Set the chi for the next day by cleaning off your desk and emptying the trash before you leave.
Inspirational Quotes: Raise the inspiration chi by printing out your favorite quotes and placing them in your view.
Travel Photos: Bring in the chi of joy with photos from past trips. Feel inspired as you recall the sights and feelings you had on these special adventures.
Your Personal Chi: Check your personal chi every day to see what you are bringing into your space. If you are feeling stressed reset your chi by taking a break and walking around.

When your space is designed to support your needs, you in turn will thrive in that space. Moving your chi will set you up for a day filled with happiness and success.

Four Steps to Evict People from Your Mind

Michelle Cromer August 7, 2023 Leave a Comment

We all have those people in our lives, the ones that continuously stress us out. And for some reason, these people tend to live rent-free in our minds. Feng Shui explains that our homes are the outward expression of our minds so here are a few tips utilizing the outward expression of your home and the inward expression of your mind to evict these people once and for all.

Physically: Clean out the clutter from your house. Clutter is stagnant energy, and we need the chi to flow. No excuses. Get rid of it. This stagnant energy is preventing you from moving forward in your life and it is contributing to a person being stuck in your thoughts. We can’t deny what happens in the world or in our own lives, but we always have the choice as to how to respond to it. Mentally: Clean out the clutter from your mind. When the person you want to evict enters your mind stop and say to yourself, “Cancel, delete,” as if you are erasing the thought as if it were words on a computer.
Physically: Gather up any items from the relationship. Get a container and fill it with old photographs and any gifts that were received from this person. All these items contain the chi, and they need to physically be removed from your space.
Mentally: Music can activate feelings. Do not listen to any music that reminds you of this person and do not look at old texts, emails, or social media platforms for the same reason.
Physically: Take an Epsom salt bath. Soaking in a relaxing Epsom salt bath has cleansing abilities and can help clear away any negative feelings or negative energy that surrounds you from others. And this will keep you grounded. Salt, after all, comes from the earth.
Mentally: Clear away negative thoughts through meditation. When you empty your mind, you will find that you make room for innovative ideas and solutions. You will feel deeply connected to the whole. Thoughts are forms of energy and chi so be aware of your thinking. Monitor your thoughts.
Physically: Move items around in your home. The air in small spaces tends to become stagnant. Move items and furniture around, open all the windows and doors, and burn incense or sage throughout the house. The fresh air will clear out any stress and negativity.
Mentally: Move the chi in your mind by moving your physical body. Moving your chi physically every day will prove to empower, inspire and get your chi set for the rest of the day. You will feel energized.

At the end of the day, your mind is the sanctuary you’ve literally spent your entire life building, cultivating, and investing in. You carry your mind with you everywhere and for every second of the day. And one that you will take with you to your grave. It is far more important than your physical home. Treat it that way. Evict the toxic people from your mind and then fill your mind with love.

Can you believe it?! Summer is pretty much over. And that means,….BACK TO SCHOOL! Do we have any college students reading this blog? If so, and you happen to be living on campus, I invite you to take a look at several Feng Shui Tips on how to enhance the energy of your dorm room for the upcoming college year.

Bed Position: Try to position the bed so it sits solidly against the back wall and make sure it has a headboard. This will elicit and instill in the student with a strong sense of support.
The Door: This is a place where opportunity knocks so it is important that there aren’t any blockages that prevent the entry door from opening easily. This could translate into blockages in life as well.
EMF: Keep electronics at an arm’s length from the head when sleeping. Electromagnetic frequencies have been linked to a host of health issues.
Plants: Live plants will help to promote healthy living and growth.
Wall art: Hang only images, pictures, and posters that speak to the heart and soul of the student and ones that will inspire the student to fulfill their purpose.
Clutter: Eliminate any objects that are not considered absolutely necessary to the academic experience so that the student can open up to new ideas, teachings, philosophy, and opportunities.
Garbage: Empty the garbage pail daily. Taking out the trash clears the energy for new opportunities.
Bathroom door: No one should sleep with the bathroom door open. The bathroom is a room of elimination and can drain energy and opportunities away.
Hanging Crystal: Place a hanging crystal in front of a window which will allow prisms of rainbow light to move easily through the room enhancing creativity.

Roommates, small spaces, and bolted-down furniture may threaten to foil your Feng Shui plans, but don’t get hung up on things you can’t change. While you may not be able to implement every principle of Feng Shui you read about, there are simple and quick changes anyone can make that, according to Feng Shui principles will have lasting positive impacts on your relationships, work, and stress levels.

Best of luck this year and always!

Nine Harmonious Tips To Balance Your New Home

Michelle Cromer July 17, 2023 Leave a Comment

When you move from an old home to a new one you are symbolically beginning a new chapter in your life. It is a perfect time to leave old habits and bad memories behind. Moving is good for the spirit and the mind.

Before moving in, bring your new house flowers and a bowl of fruit giving thanks to the guardians of the home.

Here are nine harmonious tips to balance your new home:

Clean out the old to make way for the new.
Thank your old space for the moments and memories and wish the future tenants well.
Sage the new house – all the windows and doors open.
Clean, clean, clean!
New paint.
Before moving in, bring your new house flowers and a bowl of fruit giving thanks to the guardians of the home.
The first time each member of the home walks through the door, make sure they are not empty-handed and have something that holds meaning for them.
Turn on all the lights – lighting the way to new opportunities.
Sit in a circle with all the members of the home and give thanks and set some intentions for the time you will spend in this space.

One of my favorite quotes about the home is from the movie Under the Tucson Sun, “What are four walls anyway? They are what they contain. The house protects the dreamer. Unthinkable good things can happen, even late in the game.”

Here’s to a clean start and a new beginning!

It’s been decades since the sun caught me in bed, it’s my favorite time of the day. Investing more thought and time into morning routines can single-handedly change how the rest of your day unfolds. Adding these eight chi-boosting habits to your morning will help to improve your mood, and your relationship with others, and you will be able to manage your stress and anxiety. The important thing to consider is to create a morning ritual that makes you feel good about yourself. Here are mine:

Silence –sit in silence and focus on your breath. Notice the sense of calm that comes over you. You will feel peaceful.
Reading – grab any book, and read for 10 minutes. You will feel motivated.
Affirmations –an affirmation is a powerful reminder of the unlimited potential that exists inside of you. Write your own. You will feel empowered.
Visualization –what do you want? Put images on a board that motivates you and represents your heart’s desires. Take time each morning to pause at each image and feel what it would be like to manifest what you want. You will feel inspired.
Journaling –the simple act of writing down things is powerful. Start by writing down all the things in your life that you are grateful for. You will feel grateful.

Exercise –moving your chi physically every day will prove to empower, inspire and get your chi set for the rest of the day. You will feel energized.
Prayer – speaking to a higher power will ease stress and set the tone for the day. You will feel holy.
Meditation – sit with your eyes closed and when a thought enters your mind imagine that you are tying a red balloon to that thought and allowing it to float away. When you empty your mind you will find that you make room for innovative ideas and solutions. You will feel deeply connected to the whole.

Sunrises are breathtaking; the sun starts subtly as if it is afraid to rise. Then the dawn breaks over the horizon like an egg yolk spilling across the clouds. The sun, a true artist, creates beauty on its canvas, reminding me that this picturesque site is not what I love about mornings. I love how they resemble hope and the promise of new beginnings.
