Loving What You Do
· Do you love your job?
· Have you ever loved your job?
· Do you believe you can do work you really love and still get paid for it?
· Would you continue to do your work even if you weren’t getting paid?
· What do you love to do more than anything else in the world?
When we truly connect our passion with our work, magic happens! You are eager to jump out of bed in the morning and begin each day. You become so involved with what you are doing that time flies by … minutes turn into hours, days, weeks and months. You might get so excited that you can’t wait to share your work, discoveries or results with others.
When we love our work, we genuinely feel good. When we feel good, we tend to be healthier and happier. When we are healthy and happy, life flows seamlessly for us. Our creativity is enhanced, relationships are supportive and obstacles are more easily resolved.
From a feng shui perspective, your space mirrors your inner self. The patterns of how you feel about yourself and the events in your life are reflected in your home, your office and wherever you spend a lot of time. If you would like to get a job, do work that is more fulfilling or connect with your deep inner passion, energizing the Career gua of your space can help bring a change to this area of your life.
The Life Path or Career area is the front center of every space when you overlay a tic-tac-toe grid of 9 blocks over the entire area. The area can be your land, your house, your office, your master bedroom, home office or any room in your house. It can also be your desktop, your car or wherever you are.
How does the Career gua of your home look and feel? What kind of shape is it in? To shift the energy, give the area a thorough cleaning. Make sure that everything is in great working order and if clutter-free. Then enhance this area with anything that reminds you of your path in life or what you’d love to do.
The Career gua is energized by the Water element. Including water or pictures that have water in them, the colors black and deep blues or greens, mirrors or glass, shiny or shimmery fabrics can be very helpful. You can also add some metal objects, the colors white or gray and round or oval shapes. Be open to the possibility that things are shifting behind the scene or under the surface. After you plant the seeds of change, allow time for them to take root and develop.
Often, the Career gua correlates with the location of your front door. Perhaps give your door a fresh coat of paint or wash it thoroughly. A beautiful walkway leading to your front door is very supportive. The doorbell and lights should be working. Your door should open easily and fully. As you enter your home, a circular or oval mat is a wonderful landing spot. Once inside, create a focal point that captures your attention and draws you into the house. The focal point could be a beautiful path, a sailing ship, an image that evokes how you would feel living your dream or anything that you find delightful and lifts your spirits.
Work with the Career gua of your home or office with positive intention; open to the possibility that you can connect with your passion and live a life you love! Many people are already doing this. You can too.
