The Power of Feng Shui

After my business partner Justine decided to go set up her own clinic I thought I would hire a professional feng shui consultant. I ended up calling Feng Shui Boston which is run by Mary Stewart of the compass school of feng shiu. When she mapped out my office she calculated the “flying stars” for the year for my office. She made a point of saying that room we were using for office work was in the Five Yellows which apparently means great misfortune. No wonder I was getting headaches working there!

After Mary finished the consultation I had to start seeing patients right away, I moved my laptop to the front desk in the waiting room and didn’t set foot in the Five Yellows room all day. The next day I went straight to Ikea and got a desk, a chair and a small file cabinet so I could move my office to an adjacent room which is in the creativity corner and doesn’t have such negative energy. An Ikea employee helped me strap the top of the desk onto the roof of my car, it was on top of some pieces of cardboard and the straps held it snugly in place. I drove straight back to the office and assembled the desk and chair until 10pm. Mary made many great suggestions such as have relaxing music playing in the waiting room and I ordered some beautiful posters of rainforest scenes from art.com for the wealth corner which is associated with the wood element. I painted over the purple wall in the waiting room and now it is a light aqua color.  I will hang a painting of a Maine ocean scene there as soon as the framing is done. 
This has been a truly fascinating process for me because it seems to be related to the elements of the five phase and she figured out the orientation of it by the compass not by where the front door is. This makes more sense to me because in five phase the elements are associated with particular directions. All in all the office is feeling more serene, beautiful, and efficient. The patients seem to feel relaxed and the phone is ringing with new patients scheduling!
