Gratitude Attitude
In the hustle and bustle of modern life, cultivating an attitude of gratitude can transform our existence, infusing it with a profound sense of peace and fulfillment. Gratitude isn’t just about saying thank you; it is a deep spiritual practice that aligns our energy with the abundance of the universe.
Embracing gratitude invites us to appreciate the small blessings that often go unnoticed. It’s about recognizing the beauty in the mundane and the magic in everyday moments. This spiritual practice helps us to shift our focus from what we lack to what we have, fostering a sense of contentment and inner peace.
In the ancient art of Feng Shui, the flow of energy, or chi, is essential for creating harmony and balance in our environments. Similarly, gratitude enhances the positive energy within us, transforming our inner landscape. By expressing thankfulness, we open ourselves to receiving more blessings, as like attracts like. This aligns perfectly with the principles of Feng Shui, where the placement and arrangement of our surroundings influence the energy that flows through our lives.
Consider creating a gratitude altar in your home, a sacred space where you can reflect on your blessings. Incorporate elements of Feng Shui by using symbols of abundance, like crystals, plants, and water features, to amplify the energy of gratitude. This practice not only enhances the positive chi in your living space but also serves as a daily reminder to cultivate an appreciative mindset.
In essence, an attitude of gratitude is a powerful spiritual tool that aligns our inner world with the harmonious energy promoted by Feng Shui. It invites us to live in a state of grace, appreciating the richness of life, and attracting more of what we cherish into our existence. By practicing gratitude, we not only elevate our own spirits but also contribute to a more compassionate and harmonious world.

Blessings
Here is another example I wanted to share.
Second example:
In September I reached out on social media for prayers for my brother & husband. (My brother is doing well, and my husband is better.) Within the course of two days my husband was in such poor health he had an emergency blood transfusion.
They told us to head back home after waiting two days to make sure he didn’t have a negative reaction to the transfusion. Also, they made it clear we needed to see specialists within two weeks because they couldn’t find the cause of his anemia.
Over the next couple months numerous doctor’s appointments and tests lead to a medical procedure in December. Within 2 hours of returning home after the procedure, we found water on the laundry floor. Unbeknownst to us a small, non-detected leak within the walls was now a broken plumbing connection to the washer.
According to Feng Shui, our laundry room is the area related to the “oldest male” in the family; hence, the area associated with my husband. Ultimately, the procedure doctors had performed earlier that eventful day had found a “small, non-detected (blood) leak” in his plumbing.
The plumbers had arrived and fixed the washer problem quickly. I felt confident the doctors had found and fixed the leaky blood vessel within my husband. I felt the interactions of the household plumbers was a BLESSING to let me know the doctors had done the equivalent procedure with my husband.
Blessing a Home, Blesses Your Life
Moral of the stories
Calling bad or challenging situations a BLESSING is not easy! FEAR loves to jump in immediately. Yet when I can change my mental state – my mindset – by saying, “This is a blessing,” it changes the energy I put out into the Universe!
These last few months have shown me when life goes sideways, I have choices and opportunities to grow, learn, gain a new perspective, discover my strengths, and make course corrections. They all start with my thoughts and mind! What we think about, we attract! I’m attracting BLESSINGS!
That’s what Feng Shui does also. When we can change any part of our home, we change the energy around us. We can change the “negative” into a “Blessing” just by shifting the mental picture of it.

Sometimes life goes “sideways” even with the best of plans, using all the knowledge I’ve gleaned through my Feng Shui trainings, and implementing correct protocols from numerous modalities.
I’m Calling it a Blessing
The question is: How does one navigate these times? (Hint: I call them BLESSINGS!)
Having a PERFECT FENG SHUI HOME does not stop bad things from happening. (BTW – there is no “perfect” Feng Shui home!) The point is to use your home – knowing through Feng Shui the interaction and interconnection your home has with your health and life – to figure out what the growth, lesson, and opportunity are in the situation.
What are the hidden treasures in the detour your life has taken. Rarely are the “treasures” known or understood until some point in the future. When you can look back.
I’ve had a virtual “Treasure Map of Learning Opportunities” the last 6 months. I’ll share a couple brief ones to give you an idea. It would take numerous blogs to share them all!
First example:
We took our first vacation in years during the summer. We went to a quaint little town I’d heard about and seen in photos. We walked around trying to find a restaurant that would accommodate my allergies. They promised they’d look after me. Two hours later I was having a horrible allergy attack that lasted several days. We ended our trip early. I needed to recover at home.
Blessing a Home for the Lunar New Year
When we arrived home, we found a toilet had been running the whole time and overflowed. We arrived back just before the water was about to flood the carpet.
From Feng Shui, the area where this happened in the home and the symbolic relation to where my allergic reaction occurred in my body were identical!
Thus, I call my misfortunate allergy attack a BLESSING because it prevented us from having thousands of dollars of damage to our home.
Tomorrow I’ll share another example.
