Feng Shui Dilemmas: Put Empowerment First

In feng shui the goal is to create environments that are utterly comfortable, spaces with a predominance of positive energy and few sources of negative free energy. At that place are times when environments present insurmountable energy challenges and a choice must be made between 2 options, neither of which is optimal. Information technology's and so a thing of determining which solution has the least negative effects.

This past weekend I ran into that type of state of affairs in a meeting room in a hotel. "You won't believe what this room looked similar when I got hither," said Marker LeBlanc of Small Business Success, the presenter. "There was a sofa bed and big black chairs in here. Information technology looked like a storage room." In Mark'south new arrangement the chairs were arranged in a U with Mark's flip chart positioned at the open end of the U. He was immediately visible upon entering the room.

"It looks prissy," I said, "unfortunately yous're not in the power position." When he looked at me quizzically I explained, "To be fully empowered, you need to have a solid wall behind you and a full view of the door. In your current position you are facing into the room, not toward the door. And, the energy coming through the door only slams right into you. Yous would be more empowered if nosotros flipped the U and had you present from the other end of the room."

"That's how I initially had it set up, but so I noticed that the big light fixture is at this terminate of the room. The only light sources at the other end are those two side tabular array lamps. Do you lot think that would be enough light?" Mark responded. I agreed with Mark that the light was rather dim. So, at present we were at a pick point. Was information technology more important that Mark exist well lit? After all, low-cal would stimulate his thinking, inspiration and energy. Or, was it more important that he be speaking from the power position?

"Well, you could speak from this end today and then tomorrow we tin rearrange the room for you lot to speak at the other end. That way you can compare and decide which works best for y'all," I suggested.

Mark agreed to that plan. The next morning we rearranged the room and Mark spoke from the other end of the room for the next day and a one-half. Equally I was driving Marker to the airport I asked him whether moving him to the ability position in the more dimly lit cease of the room had been a proficient conclusion. He said, "I definitely felt better at that terminate of the room, abroad from all the distractions well-nigh the door. And, though the light was dim, it was preferable to the low-cal at the other end. That lite was but besides bright (it was lit by a loftier power fluorescent fixture). At the cease of the starting time day (3 hours of presenting), I was exhausted!"

Nosotros talked nearly the fact that in some circumstances you just cannot get a perfect feng shui solution and must make choices. In this case Marker and I decided that putting him in the power position was the priority with lighting beingness a secondary concern. Though the lighting in the power position was not optimal, as it turned out, it was preferable to being in the path of energy coming from the door, the noise and distractions at the door end of the room, and existence tuckered of energy from the bright light of a fluorescent fixture. Mark and I besides noted that he is a stiff, compelling speaker with a powerful bulletin whose inner low-cal of passion for his message was bright enough to offset the calorie-free deficit.

When you find yourself at a feng shui selection point when no solution is platonic, remember to look for the organization that has the to the lowest degree negative touch on on the people that will be affected by it. When ever possible, place yourself in the most empowered position possible and minimize other sources of negative energy.
