This is a question that I received from one of my readers but I hear these comments often so I though I would address it for all of my readers.

“I have wasted money having three different feng shui “Experts”
feng shui my home and office and I am still up to my eyes in debt, no relationship. I have done the cures with no results. This had been over a two year period. I used a fourth “expert” she did my natal chart and was more thorough than the other three. The consultation was only 3 weeks ago. How soon can I expect results? Each so call feng shui expert’s methods are very conflicting and are as different as day and night.”

There are so many issues to address in this note and all of them are important. Here is how I see them.

2. Conflicting Methods

Feng Shui Experts

I liken Feng Shui to open heart surgery. When you work with Feng Shui you are cutting into the very heart of your life’s energy. You would not let a doctor perform open heart surgeon on you unless you did your due diligence on the doctor. So why just have any Feng Shui Expert come to your home?

Conflicting Methods

Ok, when is comes to Feng Shui there are as many methods as there are Experts. You must really do your home work when you decide to have an Expert come to Feng Shui your home.

I have written an article on the Different Schools of Feng Shui. Here is the link:

www.ArtOfPlacement.com/FengShuiSchools.htm

Read the whole article before you make a decision about what type of Feng Shui Expert you hire. After reading this you will have a better understanding of what you are looking for.

Then inquire about the training that they have had. Many so called Feng Shui Experts have taken numerous seminars and have done a lot of reading and they incorporate disciplines that are not directly related to Feng Shui.

Look for someone who has had practical training as well and academic training. Ask them what success they have had in their own lives using Feng Shui.

Basically, you are looking for someone who does your entire property not just the inside. You are looking for wholeness. You want someone who will perform Landform Feng Shui at a minimum.

Feng Shui Cures

Now to the Cures, if you don’t select a competent Expert they may miss out on the ailment that is causing all of your problems. You can burn as many candles as you want, say as many affirmations as you can and apply all the cures, but if you miss the ailment that is causing your problems you will continue to struggle.

In my e-Course “20 Minute Feng Shui” I walk you though the why, the when and the how of,Feng Shui, everything. When you are done with this e-Course you will have everything you need to hire an Expert or do it yourself.

Here is the link to my e-Course:

Astrology

Astrology is a powerful science. Just as the Sun emits energy to heat the Earth, each and every planet in our Universe emits an energy that impacts our Earth and our lives.

When you truly understand your Astrological aspects you are empowered to take charge of your life instead of being a victim of it. I always look at a persons Astrology before addressing their Feng Shui because there are times when the problems you encounter are about timing (the movement of the planets) and not about your home.

Results

Above I mentioned the importance of doing the right cures. Here I will assume that you have done so.

Feng Shui is a subtle energy. Typically it will not hit you over the head when you complete your cures. It will happen subtly. If you have major problems results can be slower due to the amount of change that is needed.

If the problems you were experiencing were from outside sources and they have been cured, you might begin to see struggle start to ease. If your problems were about lack of attention or dis-repair you might start to see that you begin paying more attention to the issues in your life. Now that does not mean that the energy you have already created will disappear. But it will pass and you will begin to create new energy in your life. If your issues are internal, like additions or personality issues, you will begin to see a shift in how you look at your life and what you choose to do about it.

The shift in the energy of your home will make a shift in your energy and the energy of your life.

If you’ve already found the love of your life, you’re one of the lucky ones. Many people search for years for the kind of love you already have.

But if you’re still in the searching process, there are plenty of ways you can use Feng Shui to help you meet the perfect person for your life. After all, you don’t want to attract just anyone.

You want to meet the person who’s perfect in your eyes.

Attracting Positive Energies

The first step to finding Mr. or Mrs. Right is to begin to identify who this person is. While you don’t want to have an exact picture in your mind of the person that you MUST meet, you should have some sort of idea as to what they might be like.

You might want to start by creating a list of the things you want your perfect date and love to have.

This can include:

• A good sense of humor
• A kind heart
• A love of children/pets/NASCAR/etc.
• Money
• A successful career
• Etc.

Take this list and put this in your relationship corner of your bedroom. The list doesn’t have to be large enough for anyone to read, so long as you know what’s on it, so don’t afraid of the next step.

You want to hang this list on the wall or place it on a table that’s sitting in that corner. This will help you to increase the energy of the qualities that you want in a date and in a relationship.

The relationship corner is located in the far right corner of your rooms.

Other tips to help encourage love in your life include:

• Remove sharp corners in your bedroom – Since the bedroom if really the center of your lover energy, make sure that you don’t have any areas that come to points. To prevent this, soften the corners of your bedroom by placing plants in the corners or other items that help to cut these corners off.
  

• Make sure you can see your door from bed – If you can’t see your doorway from your bed, you might be decreasing the energy of your search for love. You want to always be able to ’see’ the energy entering your life, even as you sleep.
  

• Add softer colors to your room – If your room is filled with bright yellows and oranges, even some reds are too energetic, not only will you have troubles sleeping, but you might also have troubles with attracting love rather than lust. Choose soothing colors, but nothing that’s too feminine or flowery. Simple is the keyword in this adjustment.
  

Now that you have stirred up the energy of love in your bedroom, it’s time to see what else you can do with this energy once you head out into the dating world.

Dating and Feng Shui

Unfortunately, even Feng Shui isn’t going to bring dates to your doorstep. So, in order to meet the love of your life, you’re going to have to start dating.

Since you’ve increased the energy of love in your life at this point, adding these dating specific Feng Shui adjustments will help you create the perfect conditions for long term connections.

• Add pictures of couples to your relationship corner – Now, these pictures don’t have to include you in them. In fact, it’s better to find pictures of couples whose faces aren’t visible. This way, you’re not directing the energy too much to one certain situation.
  

• Bring beauty into your life - Make sure to add fresh flowers to your relationship corner as much as possible. This will enhance the energy of beauty in those that you meet. When you place the flowers in the corner, give yourself gratitude for trying to find love and tell yourself that you will be successful.
  

• Consider adding pink to the relationship corner – While this tends to be seen as an overly feminine color, there are shades of pink that can be downright seductive and alluring, even in a man’s bedroom. Try adding these colors to your relationship corner as well as to your bedroom, if you can.
  

• Move your bedroom – If your bedroom isn’t in the relationship corner of your home or apartment, you might want to consider moving it. This will not only stir up new energy, but it will also help you encourage the energy of love and romance as you will be in the energetic center of luck in love.
  

• Clear away old relationships – Most of us have some mementos of past relationships that we keep. But if these mementos are in your bedroom, they might be interfering with your ability to reach out for something new in your love life. Try to remove these things from your bedroom, and ideally from your home. After all, these relationships are over and done with – you want something new.
  

• Be thankful for each new meeting – Instead of beating yourself up at the end of each date when you don’t find Prince Charming or Mrs. Right, you should come back to your bedroom, look over the list of things you want in a love match, and breathe. Thank yourself for the fact that you were brave enough to try to find you.
  

Love is out there waiting for you, but if you don’t stir up the pot of love energy, you might have to kiss a lot of frogs before you get to the prince or princess.

Why not skip the frogs entirely?

With the average credit card debt balance at $3000 per family in America, it’s no wonder that more people are looking for ways to reduce their debt. The economy seems to be on a downturn, but that doesn’t mean your finances need to go in that direction too.

All you need to do is to learn some basic Feng Shui techniques and tips to make sure that your checkbook doesn’t just stay balanced, but that it stays heavy with extra money.

What Debt Means Energetically

The concept of debt is something that you need to look at from an energetic point of view as well. Thinking about it logically, debt is incurred when you extend yourself too far and when you try to live beyond your means.

This can happen for a number of reasons – all of which might point to other areas of concern for your Feng Shui balancing.

• You might be buying more because you’re depressed
• You might be purchasing more items to impress others.
• You might spend more in order to make someone fall in love with you
• You might have debt troubles because your job doesn’t pay enough

You can come up with your own reasons, but that covers the most basic reasons for getting into troubles with money.

In order to create a debt free life, you need to learn how to not only change the way you look at money, but also to begin to look for things that might be negatively affecting your ability to handle money.

Stopping Debt Before It Starts

If you don’t already have troubles with debt, you’re one of the lucky ones. But that doesn’t mean you should necessarily sit back and relax. Money troubles can happen in an instant and that means that your credit rating can plummet quickly before you even realize it’s happening.

So, let’s stop it from happening.

Here are some basic tips and techniques for keeping your money energy balanced:

• Make sure you keep the back left corner of each of your rooms in your home clean and clutter free. You probably already do this, but just in case you don’t, now’s as good a time as any to make sure these energy centers can move energy easily.
  

• Create a system for maintaining your financial records that is energy positive – Make sure you keep your financial papers and bills well sorted and easy to find. Too often, money problems actually transpire because people don’t know where their important documents are. Or troubles can happen when you hand onto old papers that you don’t need.
  

• Be positive when it comes to money – It’s all too easy to complain about money matters, but this will draw negative energy into your home and into your banking. Make sure you are always focusing on the fact that your money health is healthy and happy and find positive ways to look at bills and money owed.
  

With just a few simple changes, you can begin to see bigger changes in your financial health – and you don’t have to be one of the unlucky ones with debt troubles.

Already in Debt? Dig Yourself Out

So you have some high credit card balances, maybe a mortgage that is getting harder and harder to pay? You’re certainly not alone. And worrying and obsessing about it isn’t going to help either. So, instead of berating yourself, let’s talk about how you can take charge again with Feng Shui.

• Create a bill paying station – Preferably in the furthest left hand corner from a door, set up the bill paying station where you will handle all of your financial dealings. This will help you keep everything in one place, plus it will create an energetic center for your finances. This is where you pay things off and that’s going to encourage the energy of repayment.
  

• Make any step you can – Too often, people think that they need to pay off their credit cards entirely or it just doesn’t mean they’re making any progress. But even little steps can help out a lot. Even just paying a little more than the minimum balance on your credit cards will help you increase the energy of repaying your debts, while also reducing the interest you will be charged.
  

• Consider adding symbols of money to the wealth and prosperity part of your home – Pictures with money on them or pictures of things you will buy once you are out of debt will help encourage the positive energy of getting your finances under control. Whenever you begin to feel like your money situation is never going to get better, you should look to these images to inspire you and to increase your energy to struggle on.
  

You can pay down your debt, even if it’s not overnight. The truth is that people are paying off their debts every day – and with these Feng Shui tips, you can be the next success story.

Maintaining Your Financial Health

Once you’ve managed to settle your debts and start seeing money in the bank again, you should be actively working toward keeping your financial health. Here are some easy ways to do this with Feng Shui:

• Post the final payments on credit cards in an area where you can look at them – Congratulating yourself on your successes will ensure that you continue to have the energy to maintain your good financial habits.
  

• Pay attention to your finances – Often, people get into financial trouble because they don’t look at their credit card statements or they simply don’t pay attention to the money they spend. Instead, make a pledge to yourself to pay attention, even if it’s scary. Only by facing your fears with money can you overcome them for good.
  

Debt may be America’s favorite pastime as of late, but that doesn’t mean it needs to be something you’re stuck with forever.

You can dig yourself out of debt and prevent yourself from becoming a part of the stressed and strapped population.

When you’re feeling stressed in your life, it’s not generally because other people are putting too much pressure on you – though that’s what most decide is the trouble.

Stress is generally the result of our own decisions and errors in judgment.

We take on too much work, too much responsibility, and then other things in our life begin to fall by the wayside, leaving us feeling unbalanced and unable to keep up with the demands placed upon on.

Ideally, we should be learning how to say ‘no’ to things in our life that we don’t want to do, but when we’re already vulnerable due to mismanaged energies in our home, it is only more difficult.

Instead, you might want to start off with Feng Shui adjustments to help you manage your environment and eventually the rest of your life.

When You’re Stressed Right Now

If you’re feeling the heat in your life right now, you need ‘emergency’ Feng Shui cures.

You want to start off by taking a moment to breathe. Simply breathe in and out to regulate not only your heartbeat, but also your energy. Find the center of yourself, the part of you that is quiet and calm and reassured that all is well, even when it doesn’t feel that way.

Once you can created a bit more peace and calm, you can then begin to clear away the energies that are stressing you.

• Look around the room – To start things off, take a look at your space. Are there areas where you have clutter or a mess? If you do, take note of these spaces and begin to see what spaces feel as though they need the most attention.
  

• Find out what’s wrong - By looking at a bagua, you can begin to see what these messy areas correspond with energetically. For example, if you notice that the right side of your room is cluttered, you might begin to think about how your family life right now is unbalanced. Look to the areas of clutter not as messes, but rather as ways to diagnose your stressors.
  

• Clean up the clutter – Stress is only enhanced by the presence of clutter in your life. To make sure you are as stress free as possible, you want to remove as much clutter from your space as you can. And no, this doesn’t mean you can just hide it somewhere else. You need to remove the extraneous things from your space and make sure they don’t come back to stifle your energy flow.
  

• Add neutral colors to your space – If you are feeling stressed, try to find a way to add something cool in color and soothing. Blues and light purples are a great way to enhance your energy. Find a scarf that you can drape over yourself or over something in your direct line of sight. Or you might want to remove items that are brightly colored as they can draw too much energy to a space, leaving you feeling drained and chaotic.
  

• Add a water element – Water is a very soothing element to have in your space when you are stressed. Not only is the sound of the water calming, but it also helps you shift the energy of your space, allowing your worries to wash away. Think about placing a small fountain or a fishbowl in your space if you can. Or if you’re in a space without these features, head to a local pond or find pictures of water to post in your office as a substitute.
  

When You’re Constantly Under Stress

For some of us, stress isn’t just a condition of our current situation; it’s something we will deal with every single day.

It can help for you to have long term Feng Shui cures in place to try to prevent as much energetic disturbance as possible. You don’t want the quick fixes, you want cures that help you retain your sanity every day.

So, whether you are a doctor or in another high pressure position, you might want to try these fixes:

• Don’t have things in your environment that you do not love – For example, if there is anything in your environment that reminds you of stressful times, remove it – immediately. The same can be done for your wardrobe. Only wear things that feel good and that make you feel good as you move throughout your day.
  

• Surround yourself with images of happiness – You want to keep pictures of your friends and family close by as well as in your family areas of your home (the left side of your rooms from the entranceway). This way, you can constantly remind yourself of the things that really matter.
  

• Make sure your doorways are always clear – When you block the entranceways of your rooms, you are blocking the career and life path energies of your world. And that is generally where most of us find our stress’s source. Make sure you can easily enter and exit the rooms of your home so that you’re not stifling any positive energy.
  

• Add plants to your environment – Plants are natural energy transmuters. They take negative energy from the environment and turn it into healthy and prosperous energies. Of course, you will need to make sure you are taking care of the plants to ensure they can continue this important work.
  

• Consider soothing sounds – As you enter into the world of jarring energies, you might want to add soothing sounds to offset the stress these noises can bring. Things like soothing music and chimes are a great way to add positive energy back into your life.
  

Stress may be something that’s entirely under our control, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t going to be stressed from time to time.

With these Feng Shui ideas, you can start experiencing more days of peace and calm, which can make the ‘bad days’ a bit easier to bear when they do come.

Wouldn’t it be great if you could make more money than you’re making right now? There are few people who are completely satisfied with their current income – and with good reason.

More people report feeling underpaid in their jobs than ever – but that’s not a surprise since employers are trying to cut costs (read: payroll) as their own budgets fall out of balance.

But the good news is that you can make more money than you are right now, if you use some simple Feng Shui tips to help balance that money energy in your self.

Yes, it’s easier than you might think too.

The Power of Abundance

Wanting more is a great start to having more in your life, but you need to realize that the energy of wanting is an energy that signifies that you don’t already have all that you need.

Got that?

What you need to do is to start looking at the power of abundance and the power of manifesting what you desire. You need to start looking at your life and believing that you CAN have all that you want – and probably more.

To do this, you need to follow these simple Feng Shui tips:

• Talk about your income as though it’s higher than it is – Now, this doesn’t mean you should be boasting about numbers to your friends, but you should begin to look at your life as something that’s not hindered by money troubles. To yourself, remind yourself that you are making X dollars. You can even take a past pay stub and change the amount of money that is listed on it. Post this ‘new’ pay stub somewhere you can see it easily to remind yourself of where you will be soon.
  

• Create plans that depend on you making more money – By putting out the energy that you will be making more money in the future, you will begin to set the universe’s energy into action. Start thinking about a trip to Aruba or Europe or whatever exotic place you’d like to travel. Research the trip and don’t worry about the prices. Plan out the trip as though you were going tomorrow. Hang up reminders of this trip in your wealth and prosperity corner.
  

• Surround yourself with abundance – A plain apartment or home is not the best energetic setting for someone who wants more money in their lives. While you might now have a lot of extra money to spare, you might want to treat yourself to ‘rich’ things that will show you how your new money-filled life will be like. For example, you can buy yourself fresh flowers once a week and enjoy them. Or you can fill your home with friends to restore the energy of having a lot in your life, even if it’s not money right now.
  

Getting What You’re Worth

Whether you’re working for someone else, have your own business or looking for a business to start, you know that you’d like your paycheck to be a bit bigger than it is right now. But if your boss doesn’t seem to be giving raises, you don’t seem to be getting picked for promotions and business opportunities seem unavailable it’s time to take action with Feng Shui.

1. Move your desk to a position that allows you to see the door – This is going to help you see new opportunities and to increase your visibility in the workplace. If you can’t move your desk (some people can’t), try placing a mirror beside your computer to help you still view the door whenever you are sitting down.
   

2. Add a bamboo plant to your office space, preferably near the entrance to your space. These lucky plants are not only easy to take care of, but they also enhance the prosperity of your setting, no matter what your job. They’re not called lucky bamboo plants for nothing.
   

3. Make sure your space is well lit – In order to let the energy of more money come into your space, it needs to be bright enough to attract that energy. Turn on your lights, open the blinds, etc. If you can’t seem to get enough light in your space, bring in an additional lamp to help out.
   

4. Don’t keep dead or dying plants around – You might have had great expectations for a plant in your office, but if you haven’t been taking care of it and it’s beginning to wither, it’s attracting the energy of death to your desk. And that’s not going to bring energy to your money desires.
   

5. Dress for success – This old adage has value in relation to Feng Shui. If you’re not dressing as though you already have the job you want or the salary you desire, you’re simply dragging your energy down. Instead, come to work in neat clothing that’s appropriate for someone in a slightly higher level at your company.
   

6. Take time to visualize your increase in income – Even if your company isn’t handing out raises right now, that doesn’t mean you can’t think about what you’d like when they do. In your mind, envision the positive qualities you exude, and then ’see’ them bring in you the income you want.
   

7. Be positive about all added income sources – It’s easy to get upset with your boss if you are only offer a 50 cent raise per hour, but when you complain about this, you are downshifting your ability to make more money. Instead, be positive about every increase in your job’s pay or responsibilities. This will open up the doors to greater opportunity.
   

When you want to draw money to you, you need to create the opportunity for it to come to you. If this means that you start applying for high paying jobs, then you should. If this means that you should start looking for secondary or primary income opportunities you should. After all, what’s the worst thing that could happen? You could get the opportunity of a life time.

I spent 5 years as an apprentice to a Feng Shui Master, working in the field I learned by the oral tradition, I have dedicated my life to this art and science and this is what I have learned.

1. Even though Feng Shui is thousands of years old it is just as effective today as it was then. It�s rather a startling realization that these secrets can create your greatest dreams when the standards and principles taught by society today only bring you a life of filled with disappointment, frustrations and anger. When you operate outside of these secrets you end up with half baked results feeling like there is something wrong with you. Most of us were sold a bill of goods about what life really has to offer. In spite of all that you have learned and not learned, you can create the abundant life that is waiting for you.

2. You were born to have all the desires of your heart and the how of creating and receiving them have been hidden from you. But you must step out of the box and turn your back on the should�s and ought to�s of everyone who is afraid of success and the criticism of those who have given up there dreams. I know that this is a scary thought but when you trust in yourself and take action you can and will have the life of your dreams.

3. Most self help programs today teach you to deal with the effects of your problems not to deal with the First Cause of problems. To find the secret to your wealth, your riches, your abundance, you must understand the first cause of what you create.

Your home is a direct pointer to the first cause of what you create in your life. It will show you what you have been and are focusing on and what you are creating. The placement of your property, home and what goes on within its walls is a sign marker for where you are going. For what you create in your home is what you create in your life.

4. Now let me clean up some confusion about Feng Shui. There are several schools of practice. I recommend Land Form and Black Sect and let me tell you why.

Land Form was the original form of Feng Shui and began in the little villages of the Orient. Their lively hood was dependant upon where and how they placed and located their home. You see Feng Shui deals with the First Cause of Energy. It is often very intuitive in the beginning levels and is simple and easy to learn and apply.

When man created the magnet, the complicated man made practice of Compass School was created. I do not recommend you spend your time with this method unless you are willing to invest thousands of dollars on travel and training and have the patience of a saint and the mind of a computer.

Besides, the compass works off of magnetic north. Solar Flares can alter magnetic north 160 kilometers at any given time. This means that you can and will get different compass readings. Solar flares are more predominate today than any time in history.

Keep It Simple. Give up worrying about compass directions and deal with the First Cause. Ask yourself ; What energy is present? Is it what I want? If not, change or shift the energy using Feng Shui cures.

Also, the Black Sect School is highly effective in assessing the energy that already exists in your life and for creating the energy for the life you desire.

5. The benefit that you receive from Feng Shui will be in direct proportion to the effort you put into Feng Shui. Thousands of people have had great success using Feng Shui but many people treat it like a fad or game and have less than desirable results. Don�t be fooled.

The key here is you must commit yourself to a course and stick to it. It only takes a little time each day and you will live the life you only dreamed of before Feng Shui. It�s like grass growing.

What ever you desire in life: bags of money, the love of your life, the honor and respect of people who now doubt you, connection with friends, family and spouse, a crowd of new customers, a new home, a fresh start, almost anything you can think of, you can attain. These things are not just for the lucky. They are for everyone who is willing to make some changes. And the first step to success is changing your environment.

Robert T. Kiyosaki, author of New York Times Best Seller, “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” and host of CNBC’s show “The Millionaire Inside: Your Guide to Wealth” says:

“It’s easier to change your life if you change your environment first”.

Start with making small changes. This will give you�re the impetus to make more changes. Success breeds success. Start with the things you can change. Here are a few ideas on how to change your environment:

• Get into your closet and get rid of the stuff that you have been holding onto from your glory days. It probably doesn�t even fit any more. Make room for something new to come into your life.
• Organize your desk, get rid of all the nic-nacs, this is the place for your financial future. Clean out your files. You only need to keep records for x years and these history files don�t need to be in your desk. Put them in a file box and put them in storage. Remember, you are making room for the new.
• Then take a look around your home. Those old magazines that you have been hording because you are going to read them someday. Get rid of them and get your home organized.
• One of the most inexpensive and quickest ways to change your environment is with a fresh coat of paint. But don�t just paint it the same old color. Choose a new color that makes your heart sing!
• Re-arrange your furniture. Have you ever noticed that like hair, when women start re-arranging furniture that changes are in store.
• Clean out the garage, knock down the spider webs and get rid of stuff you don�t need. The stuff in the garage made it there because you no longer or don�t need it in your home, but you put it in the garage because you didn�t have the guts to let go of it. Plan a garage sale or call Good Will. Do the same if you have a storage room or basement.
• Get rid of the dead and dying landscaping in your yard. Besides a day in the fresh air will do you good, or you could call a gardener and spend your time on some of the items listed above.

The next step in changing your environment is looking at how you spend your time and who you spend it with. Make a list of the 5 people that you hang out with or spend time with. Then jot down how much money they make. Your income with be around the average of what your friends are making. If you want to make more money, make new friends. I am not telling you to get rid of your friends, but you can make room for some new ones.

Who�s life would you most want to have, Bill Gates, Ruppert Murdock, Martha Stewart, Oprah? These people probably have enough friends but you can still put them on your friends list. Then start to study them. Read everything you can find on them, every book, newspaper article, TV clip. Get a picture of them and put it on your desk. Connect with this knowledge everyday just as you would if they were your best friend.

These changes seem so disconnected from the things that you want, but they are not. Everything we know is an electromagnetic field in the disguise of what our eyes see and our brain translates for us. The only difference between all of these fields is the vibration of the person, the place or the thing. It is these vibrations that create our environment and impact our world.

Before you know it the environmental changes that you have made will create the energy and force field to draw into your life the people, situations and opportunities that you have been looking for.

If you are feeling undervalued at work or home and find that you are only getting a trickle off the ocean of money flow, it may have to do with how you spend your money.

We all are working double duty to provide for our families and ourselves. We have become a population of people who are always looking for the best deal, the largest quantity for the lowest price. With the internet, we can now shop 24 hours a day.

But what values have we given up to get the best price. As a society we believe that to make money you have to take advantage of someone who looses. In the end we will lose.

Have you ever wondered why the hugh flow of money doesn�t make it�s way through you bank account? You must realize that every dollar you spend creates a lively hood for someone else. When you become overly responsible or even stingy in your spending you are holding back the flood gates of money flowing to you.

If you truly value what you purchase, pay the value it is worth. Stop trying to get the best deal, each time you do, you create the energy in your life to be under valued and to provide more for less. You shoot yourself in the foot each time you do it. If you want to be valued for the work that you provide then you must value the people who provide to you.

Take a look at tipping. A waiter or waitress is paid a wage that no one can live on. Their employers are counting on you to subsidize their livelihood. If you don�t value them no one does.

Many of us now shop at the large quantity stores. How long will 24 rolls of toilet paper last you? What the manufacturers are doing is selling you more for less. It appears that this is great for you and the manufacturer, but in the long term it�s bad for both of you. You can only use so much toilet paper. You are not going to purchase more than you need and you have now undermined yourself.

Don�t get me wrong. I believe in healthy competition but this energy of ignoring the value of a product has our society in a spiral of not being valued.

We as a society are so consumed with getting the best price that we have almost no consideration for what the products do to our environment. Think about it, would you be willing to pay $1.00 more per gallon of gas if you knew that it would provide a clean healthy environment for your children�s children? If you don�t start thinking about this now, you will be responsible for their doomed fate.

Many manufacturers often give product away for free. This is a healthy way to get you to try their products. If you like them, then support this manufacturer by purchasing their products, when you do this manufacturers will be forced to start providing better quality products that support our environment.

Stop the price shopping. Stop looking for something for nothing. There is a price for everything and in this case the price you pay is your flow of money and your value. As a society what are we doing to each other and ourselves?

Create a flow of money in your life. I am not giving you license to get into debt. I am asking you to start looking at the value of what you pay for what you purchase. Start looking at the flow of energy that you are creating with the transaction. Start creating the energy flow of value. Be grateful for the products you receive instead of the great deal. The more grateful energy your give out the more you will receive.

We live in an abundant world. Money doesn�t disappear off the planet, it just changes hands. The key is being in the flow so that abundant money flows into and out of your hands continually.

You get what you think about. If you think you can�t afford to get your leaking roof fixed you won�t and never will. If you think that you are un-lovable you are. If you think that you are out of control of your life you can create sickness.

If you believe and trust that money, opportunities, joy, health success are always flowing to you, you will have the money to fix your roof, love, vibrant health and more.

I know that this sounds like woo woo mumbo jumbo, but it isn�t! Let me explain how you keep yourself in poverty consciousness and how to get out of it.

You try to have abundant thinking, you say an affirmation once a day, but behind the scenes, a tape with an automatic loop is playing every second in your subconscious that says �I don�t see it, so it�s not true�. Here is how it stacks up on a daily basis:

� 1 point for the abundant thinking,

� 86,400 points for it�s not true thinking.

Then there are all your helpful friends who confirm the automatic loop. You try to be positive and affirm what you want. Your friends roll there eyes and snicker shredding any hope you had of joy and success, dragging you back into the all familiar rut.

This is why you can�t get out of the poverty consciousness. Years and years of subconscious programming, and well meaning friends who are afraid that you will get out are running your life.

Successful people march to their own drummer. They take back control of their lives. They do not listen to the nay sayers. They create their own dialog that they listen to. They are selective about who and what they allow into their daily lives. People, who do this, set themselves on the track for drawing into their lives true abundance and success.

Below is a list that will help you get on your own track:

• Keep your dreams, goals and objectives to yourself or to a limited number of trusted friends and family who support you.
• Repeat your affirmations often during the day. If you don�t believe them, keep telling yourself until you do.
• Listen to your self talk. Each time you find yourself thinking that you can�t, tell yourself you can and move on to another subject. Don�t battle with the subconscious, just train it!
• Take a good look at the people that you associate with and ask yourself if having them supports your dreams. You may want to limit your exposure.
• Take a good look at what data you allow into your world: television, movies, newspapers, reading. If it does not make you feel good get rid of it. Your friends and family will let you know if something really important happens.
• Feed your subconscious with positive up-lifting information. If you want to re-program your subconscious your must be diligent in this effort.

It all sounds so simple and it is. You just have to be disciplined enough to live it and do it!
