Ten years ago I decided that I was going to teach Feng Shui. This came after training in three different schools and working as a Feng Shui practitioner for five years. Initially, I had absolutely no intention of incorporating Feng Shui into my career much less teach it. But as time went by I became more and more drawn to sharing what I knew and teaching others.

I’m a big believer in the power of positive thought, the Law of Attraction. I’m also a big believer in doing the work needed to achieve what I want to achieve. The magic of positive thought for me has been my absolute unwavering belief that whatever I want to achieve is not only achievable, it’s inevitable!

The Law of Attraction – your personal manifestation magnet!

That doesn’t mean that everything I’ve set out to do has worked out the way I intended it to, but it does mean that everything I’ve set out to do has manifested in exactly the manner in which it was meant to. And I had the opportunity to experience and learn from everything I set out to do! How fantastic is that?

Let me give you an example.

Ten years ago I decided to go to a Feng Shui convention in Florida. This wasn’t the first Feng Shui convention available since I had become a practitioner, but it was the first that I felt compelled to go to.

Not knowing why I was meant to be there, I booked my flight, set up my registration and prepared for my trip. Shortly before leaving, one of my teachers, Denise Linn, reached out to our Interior Alignment community to ask if any of us would be at the convention early as she needed some assistance setting up her workshop. Since I was going to be there early I volunteered.

As I walked toward Denise’s meeting room, I was excited and a bit nervous, hoping I’d do a good job and that Denise’s lecture would be as good if not better than her past lectures. (If you’ve been lucky enough to have the opportunity to hear Denise speak you know what I’m talking about!)

Several of us helped set up the meeting room, from table displays and lighting to seating arrangements, we worked for several hours making the room beautiful, inviting and energized.

The convention turned out to be a magnificent time for me. I met with and visited with all of my teachers, met new people and made many friendships that remain to this day.

A few weeks after coming home I got a phone call from Denise! She wanted to know what I was doing with my practice and what I planned for myself. In my excitement, I shared that I had spent the entire year previous to the conference learning many different methods of teaching, Ecourses, teleseminars, webinars, etc., I was planning to teach Feng Shui and I wanted to be able to reach as many people as possible, as easily as possible and I felt technology was the tool that would enable this.

After sharing, I asked why she asked. Denise then said that she had decided that she was no longer going to teach Interior Alignment and she had felt compelled to call and see if I would be interested in becoming an Interior Alignment teacher and helping her (and several others), create a new program for teachers – and then she said, “but it sounds like you’re already doing your own thing..”

I paused, my stomach fell. And then I said, “Wait, you were compelled to call me and I’ve just spent the last year preparing to be a teacher and now the Universe has literally dropped a school into my lap….YES I’m interested! In fact, I’m honored. Of course I’ll participate!”

Once you make a decision
the universe conspires to make it happen.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

This is the power of the Law of Attraction and Feng Shui at work. Not only did I have an intention, believe in it and myself unwaveringly but I also reinforced my intention by moving forward and learning everything I could to assist me as I embraced the next phase of my career. I physically affirmed my intention by bringing it into the physical realm through active engagement and learning. And the Universe did the rest by literally bringing the school to me!

I believe that anything is possible if you want it enough to do the work necessary to achieve it and to embrace what you desire as though it is so.

What the mind of man can conceive,
the mind of man can achieve.
Napoleon Hill

Next week I’ll share some tips to empower you with the Law of Attraction and Feng Shui – it’s almost as easy to achieve as it is to think it – but Feng Shui makes it even better! See you next week!
