In Feng Shui it often<br />
appears as if things happen by magic for some.<br />
Co-incidences seemly appear from nowhere.<br />
<br />
You're thinking about a new direction for your business and<br />
you just happen to be introduced to the perfect person to<br />
help you move in that direction. It's tempting to say<br />
“what a co-incidence, I was just thinking about that”.<br />
When it happens to someone else you might say “They are<br />
always lucky”.<br />
<br />
Co-incidence? Naturally lucky? I don't think so. I see<br />
it as putting out some energy and then being open to<br />
synchronicity. And, once you start noticing it - it's<br />
everywhere. In Feng Shui you set your intention, anchor<br />
that in your environment with an enhancement, and then<br />
your job is to get out of your own way and be open to the<br />
messages and synchronicity that are occurring around you.<br />
<br />
The Helpful People area of the Bagua is a favorite of mine.<br />
Chance meetings, helpful people appearing from nowhere -<br />
just waiting for your energy to reach out. It occurs in all<br />
areas of the Bagua, and all parts of your life.<br />
<br />
In his book “Luck Factor” Dr Richard Wiseman writes<br />
that it’s not magic that is responsible for good or bad<br />
fortune, but your own ways of thinking and behaving. Why<br />
do some people appear consistently lucky and others<br />
consistently unlucky?<br />
<br />
Wiseman came up with 4 main principles that characterize<br />
lucky people:<br />
<br />
1. Lucky people are skilled at creating, noticing and<br />
acting on chance opportunities<br />
<br />
2. They make effective decisions by paying attention to<br />
their intuition and gut feelings<br />
<br />
3. They are sure the future is going to be full of good<br />
fortune<br />
<br />
4. They employ various psychological techniques to cope<br />
with, and even thrive upon, the ill fortune that comes<br />
their way<br />
<br />
As to why lucky people encounter so many chance<br />
opportunities, Wiseman conducted an experiment.<br />
<br />
He gave newspapers to equal numbers of people who<br />
considered themselves lucky, and those who considered<br />
themselves unlucky, and asked them to count how many photos<br />
were inside.<br />
<br />
The unlucky people took about 2 minutes to count the<br />
photos, while lucky people took only a few seconds. This<br />
was because on Page 2 there was a message that read, “Stop<br />
counting. There are 43 photographs in this newspaper”.<br />
The words were in large print and took up half the page but<br />
the unlucky people didn’t tend to see them. They also<br />
missed the message in the middle of the page telling them<br />
to stop counting, to win $700.<br />
<br />
For sure some things happen purely by chance - but if you<br />
are the sort of person who consistently encounters bad<br />
luck, you have to ask yourself why this is happening.<br />
<br />
You CAN improve your luck. Here are some tips to help you<br />
increase synchronicity and make the most of it when it<br />
happens:<br />
<br />
1. Get very clear about your intention and create<br />
environments that inspire you. Surround yourself with<br />
what you need to work your best – a clutter free<br />
environment, music, inspiring people.<br />
<br />
2. Be open to new experiences<br />
<br />
3. Build your intuitive abilities by clearing your mind<br />
of other thoughts - for example, meditating, journaling,<br />
and trusting your intuition and acting on it.<br />
<br />
4. Even in the face of failure, see it as part of the<br />
process. Often when you look back you can see how that<br />
experience was a necessary part of your journey. If you<br />
resist your experiences it makes it more difficult to move<br />
on. It is easier to embrace them when you know there is a<br />
reason, even if you can’t see it right now.<br />
<br />
5. Don't dwell on ill fortune - take control of the<br />
situation<br />
<br />
6. Work with a coach - it will help you make the most of<br />
your experiences - the good and the seemly bad. You will<br />
be amazed at what is going on in your life once you tune<br />
in!<br />
<br />
