• Feng Shui is traditionally about the way in which energy flows through your environment. This is firstly to do with the way in which the universal energy called -CHI- is free to move in the area of your living. When it is an harmonious flow and all things are in balance the most amazing effects are brought into your life. Fortune smiles upon your relationships and your health not least of all you will attract wealth.

• Feng Shui of the mind is a parallel universe to the external environment. Our minds are conditioned and our behaviour follows our conditioned thoughts and just like the home it is also a victim to clutter and its effects.

• Clutter of the mind might be illustrated by a cage full of birds constantly moving and making noise but unable live as they were designed to be out in the open in free flight. Our minds may be like this cage filled with the buzz of constant movement and unfocused thoughts.

• In Feng Shui we set our furnishings and colors and ornaments according to the Ba Gua Map and then we have the powerful -CHI- present and flowing in our environment. When this happens our lives are in the zone of attracting the good to us. In the same way the mind like the home must be clear of the clutter of confusion, noise and dysfunction

• To clear the mind and bring it into focus there are is yoga, hypnotism, even drugs which are prescribed to calm us and other numerous practises. All if these are legitimate ways to bring the mind to quietness and open it like a house to the universal energy of -CHI-.For the way to fortune and health and wealth and relationships Chi-

• However Feng Shui is more than just becalming the mind. It a positive and active to fill the mind.It is said that - nature abhors a vacuum -

• So it is with the mind when it is becalmed or clear we must choose what will move in and through it for if we do not choose then random ideas will choose it.

• Effectively we need to ‘run our own brain’ or our brain will run us with new clutter and noise. We must choose what we allow to run through its neural pathways.

• Our minds have many established pathways which determine our way or responding to everyday situations. Our mindtracks are like the pathways of a dairy herd which comes into the shed at the same time and always via the same pathway and always in the same pecking order. This pathway is ingrained and worn in by constant repitition and it would be extremely difficult for the cows to be directed on a new path no matter how much better it might be.

• So also the established pathways of our minds, which are our mindsets, unconsciously control our behaviour. For example a paranoid person when greeted may be suspicious of why you are asking while the ordinary person will welcome your interest. Both are controlled by different unconscious inner mindsets. These mindsets are like programs and they are many in number inside our heads.

• The Feng Shui way is to use any method you choose to clear the mindsets that are not helping your life and is this is like clearing the clutter in the house.

• The next step is to choose positive replacements and build them in by constant usage. It may take months to establish the new mindsets for this is no short term fix but once you have chosen positive new paths then the universal energy chi is attracted to your life and can enrich you in many ways
