Q & A: “i’m looking to change careers — any shui insight?”
Q: “i’m looking to change careers when i go back to work. the problem? i’m so undecided between different options and lack clarity into what it is exactly i really want to do. i just know i need a BIG change. any shui insight?”
A: clarity doesn’t abide where clutter lives, so if you’re due for a good edit, start there. especially if you’re trying to discern and distinguish what you really want to do. and remember, horizontal surfaces (counters, desk, nightstand) are creativity landing zones – if yours aren’t seeing the light of day, your best ideas aren’t either! clutter breeds ambiguity, and that’s the opposite of clarity.
windows represent the “eyes” of a home, symbolic of your own ability to see things clearly. when weather and grime coat them, you aren’t “seeing” the whole picture. so, give yours a good wash. and while you’re polishing away, shine up the mirrors, too.
the middle of a home influences all the energy around it – every room in a home and every corner of your life. this space will either amplify or interrupt your request for clarity. so, clean it. organize it. place something fresh here. program it to feel positive, and it will influence similar outcomes in your life! if you can’t tend to the center of your home, strengthen the center of the “popular” rooms in your house with fresh flowers or fruit, a beautiful piece of art or textile, or even a candle.
hang a bell inside your front door or office door. a bell on your front door calls opportunities your way, and a bell on the office door clears passage for clarity around a new career path. empower this remedy by hanging the bell with red string!
finally, say it with me: POWER EQUALS CLARITY. when we feel empowered, we trust our gut instincts. the low notes have a harder time getting to us. and in their absence, we’re introduced to potential and possibilities aligned with reinforcing that empowerment! so, how do you ‘shui’ this? look for metaphors that play to strength. what embodies this for you? for me, these are usually the stories (books) of resilient and mentally fit people. also. prioritize HIGH QUALITY because something that endures the test of time possesses impressive strength. xo
