Phone Consultations for Feng Shui???

Computers have changed our lives in a very short time. When I began writing for the Benicia Herald, it was all done on a legal pad in long hand. Each Monday I would write from 700 to 1000 words about the Art of Placement called Feng Shui. A friend from Concord who was already computer savvy would wade through my scribbles and convert my story to a document, and then email it to the newspaper before noon on Tuesday, which was the deadline. That seems like yesterday! Computers have changed the way I send this weekly column and also the way I am able to give more affordable consultations. An on-site consultation is, of course, the best, but with the current economy, phone consultations followed up by scans of floor plans and instant pictures to view using this technology is changing people’s lives. Those who couldn’t afford to have a Feng Shui consultation before can now enjoy an evaluation of what went right and what went wrong in their lives the last year. As I read your floor plan, details such as “missing pieces” and design details tell a story. Sometimes you can live in a structure three years before a house or business begins to reflect money problems, family issues, poor health and lost jobs. This is an email I received this morning and my answer below to this woman’s inquiry, which many of you have asked.

Dear Caroline,

Do you provide home consultations – mapping my home, etc.? If so, cost?

I have just recently separated from my husband of 20 years and moved into a new home.

I had some Feng Shui done at the previous home several years ago and was impressed.

If you do not provide home consultations, can you suggest someone in the Auburn or surrounding area?

Thank you,

A Reader

Dear Reader,

Good morning!

Yes, I do home consultations anywhere.

I had a Feng Shui Shoppe in Benicia, California for ten years and did over 5000 consultations. I still write a weekly newspaper column called WEST MEETS EAST for the Benicia Herald newspaper. I now live in Washington State but will be moving soon. I travel to teach and do consultations. I just returned from Oklahoma, Arizona, Boston, New York and other cities. This included a workshop from my Master Teacher, as I have continued to study and learn about this art since 1988. This includes studying in China and Taiwan with Professor Lin Yun.

I also give phone consultations, which are today’s best and most affordable. Yes, I will “map” your home as I have always done and send you the results. I do about 2-3 hours work before and after we talk at a scheduled appointment. My clients love this convenient method. If you have several people who are interested, I will come and do a mini-workshop.

For a phone consultation:

1. First we would schedule an appointment.

2. You would send two copies of your floor plan (it doesn’t have to be to scale) by email with a scan, or by snail mail,

3. Send a payment of $299 for the phone consultation (which goes up to $350 in February) before the scheduled appointment.

4. You will call me on the day of the appointment.

5. I will map and “read” your Chi and your home’s Chi. If I were you I would include a sketch of the home where you lived when you divorced. It will tell many things, even if it was Feng Shui’d. This is very important as it will teach you many things about your past and your future. Include your birth date if you choose and anyone’s birth date with whom you are having issues.

6. I specialize in divorce cases, especially if you need “cures” to help with the process, such as what to carry when going to court, and how to “soften” the process. Feng Shui addresses many health problems as the there are body parts associated with each GUA as well as, of course, Career, Family, Wealth, etc.

7. You can send pictures by email or snail mail also if you choose. It isn’t necessary.

8. I will send you back the mapped packet with the cures and corrections marked in color along with other information.

I will supply you with copies of special transcendental cures if you need them. These are ones that work on an unseen level and give you mundane cures for other corrections.

I usually come to the Bay Area twice a year as I have many clients and corporations there that use my services. The fee for on-site runs $450 for homes and more for businesses and corporations, and can run up to in the $1000's when I am asked to Feng Shui for the employees or when they have several facilities.

This is a very important time in all of our lives, as the Earth Rat (over Water) has been chasing his tail for a year, creating quite an interesting upheaval for most of the world, yet all is perfect as we realign what is really worth saving and tossing. It seems all of mankind has been affected by this little guy and the job he/she did well, which was to wake us up to what is really important. Now the Earth Ox with Earth to back him up, will put our noses back to what is real and remembering what we really wanted to accomplish. Don’t be surprised if you change your mind about what you thought you wanted to do when you grow up! The trick is to go slow but sure, as you plow the new fields of opportunity in a more stable way, in a more stable environment.

I am excited to see what will manifest in my life. Sow new ideas into the tilled earth. Nurture them with love and compassion.

I hope you choose me to help you with the coming year. Yes, I have given other names of consultants in the Bay Area to those asking, but they weren’t well received, so I offer you the phone consultation that has been widely approved by my current and past clients. If you would like to phone me for more details, please do.

I look forward to your call, and blessings for your new life! It is a blessing and I am excited to show you why. Please check out my two websites below.

I am also an artist and herbalist and studied herbs with Shatoya for five years in Auburn. Where are you located in that area?

Fortunate Blessings,

Caroline
