It's so close now to the Solar New Year and about a month until the Lunar New Year--it's time to prepare to make it your BEST YEAR EVER!
First, make physical and metaphoric space for FRESH CHI AND GOOD FORTUNE to come into your home, office and life. Time to clear all of the old stagnant chi and anything that depresses your life-force.
CLEAR OUT any and all of your clutter--just DO it! Please don't forget your purse, wallet, computer, paper files, emails, voicemails, the fridge and pantry. Make sure you clear underneath your bed, the front entrance, hallways and stairs. Toss all chipped, cracked or broken crockery.
Make space in your file drawers if you want MORE JOBS AND CLIENTS.
DEEP-CLEAN your house and office with aromatherapy cleaners and as you do so, imagine you are sweeping away all illness, obstacles, bad luck, negative attitudes, and everything causing grief, stress, anxiety or frustration to members of your household or office. Make sure to do your stove and desk. The entire space should be SPARKLING! And make sure all of the trash and recyling are emptied on New Years Eve.
Do a very simple BLESSING by opening all the windows and walking through each of your clean rooms in a clock-wise manner three times striking bells or singing bowls with sandalwood incense. If you wish, you can say prayers or mantras of your choice.
INCREASE THE LIGHT in your environment. Dust all of your light bulbs and replace with higher wattage and new lamp-shades, if needed. Clean your windows.
Deep clean your CAR inside and out--this is the vehicle that takes you forward in your life and career.
Move your FURNITURE placement, even if just three inches.
Pay off as many of your debts as possible and pay all of your current bills in full to set the intention of being DEBT FREE in 2009.
Refresh your "MOUTH OF CHI" (aka your front entrance) at your home and business. Clear anything blocking your entrance; give a coat of fresh paint to your front door in a bright color; and treat yourself to a new door mat.
Take care of your FENG SHUI CURES! Deep-clean your aquarium and water features and then fill with sparkling purified water. Put your crystal spheres overnight in salt water and wash under strong cold water in the morning. Refresh any weary red ribbons or strings on your cures.
MAKE AMMENDS with anyone with whom you've had a row or falling out.
And last, but definitely not least, please make a list of your ENERGY DRAINS: every thing, person, situation, habit, pattern, thought that drains and depletes your life force and happiness. Clear as many as you possibly can before the New Year and carry on with this until you're done. It's an incredibly potent and loving thing to do for yourself.
