Home Staging with Feng Shui - Helpful People Are Waiting

In staging a home with Feng Shui, one of the most important areas is the 'Helpful People' corner.  This corner represents the ability of the homeowner to allow the Realtor, Mortgagor, Inspector, Appraiser, etc - help the Buyer be able to easily purchase the home.  It is important that this area of the house be clutter free, and it is a GREAT area to set specific intentions of selling the house quickly!

To find it, walk in the front door, and go the far right hand corner of the home - on the same side as the front door.  It may be your garage - that is OK - it still counts!  I like to have clients set affirmations in this area, and we follow up with a sacred mantra or prayer to ensure success.
Want to expedite the sale of a home?  Find this corner and allow it to work for you!

Many Blessings,

Carol

Home Staging with Feng Shui Hits the Banking News

I was a banker - a Vice Priesident with Chase Manhattan Bank for 13 years.  During that time, I was actually a Commercial Real Estate Appraiser for the bank - we estimated value for construction loans.  For people like Donald Trump, among many.  While I considered myself a banker at the time, the other 1/2 of my life, I considered myself a Yogi.  Never did I realize how the two would meet until I met Feng Shui. Feng Shui combined both of these loves of mine into one.  Reading the energy, feeling harmony, in real estate!  I've been a Feng Shui consultant for 17 years now, and, from early on, I began helping people to get their homes ready to sell, quickly - with Feng Shui. It was only recently that I realized what I was doing was helping them stage their homes - thus, the birth of Staging with Feng Shui.
While certainly staging helps immensely with selling a home (who wants to buy a home with no style, clutter all over, and horrible colors on the walls?)....I have found that the addition of Feng Shui is like turning the magic key.  Many times a complete re-design doesn't even occur - but the energy work is.

People feel most at home, most natural, when they are at peace and have a sense of being one with nature.  Feng Shui helps to bring that essence into the environment.

Happy Client's Words

Frank McKinney: Testimonial for Carol Cannon

I met Carol in the mid ‘90’s, when I had one of my early oceanfront spec homes on the market. It had been on the market for longer than usual. 

Always open to new marketing initiatives, I learned of Carol and called and asked her to come to see if there was anything that might be hindering a sale. 

Honestly, I was not sure what I was getting into and was even a bit apprehensive, to my delight, Carol provided a detailed list of easily accomplishable changes to make.  I followed through with her recommendations, and a short time later the house was sold! 

This started my wife Nilsa’s and my relationship with Carol who consulted with us on several of our oceanfront creations afterwards, including our personal home.  

Carol is a professional who makes the Feng Shui process clear to understand, with simple steps to adjust the surroundings, which results in a more peaceful, harmonious and success filled environment.  

I highly recommend anyone contact Carol for an analysis of their real estate – she’ll help you set the stage to accomplish your goals.

3- years on the market - a little Feng Shui - and SOLD

I'm very excited as a past client from long ago called me a few months ago for help in selling her condo on the beach in South Florida.  She had it listed for 3+ years - and nothing happened!!!!  The home was beautiful, really, not much wrong from a staging point of view.  However...several things were 'out of balance' from a Feng Shui point of view!  We implemented the shifts, placed some specific objects that I use to sell homes quickly (based on my training from Chinese masters), set intentions for a rapid sale - with furnishings - and I then advised her to let go of any attachment to her home (now called 'house'). 

We had numerous contacts, I kept advising her to stay calm, centered, trusting and know that the condo would sell soon.  Suddenly, she received an offer, quickly negotiated to contract, and within 3 months of our consultation, the condo was closed.  It happened so fast that she and her husband are now living in rented temporary space until the renovation of their new, downsized condo (which I am helping them with) is complete.  They did lose almost all of their initial investment, but, walked away with $50,000 in their pocket after all expenses - and this was on an original purchase of almost $2 million at the height of the market.  They are ecstatic, as their carrying costs were overwhelming, the market has been horrible for this price range, and all along, I encouraged them to focus on selling without losing any further money.

Feng Shui works.  It works even better with a home that is staged.  Most important is the Seller's attitude.  What they think, will materialize.  Now on to meet with other clients in Palm Beach County who just put their home on the market this week and already have an offer!

One Happy Feng Shui Client

Feng Shui is all about proper placement to direct energy to it's highest and best use.  Many times I am approached in public places by people asking me if they should put a fountain here, or add some wind chimes there.  I often feel like the doctor who is at an event and someone comes up to him/her asking how to heal their foot!  As you might guess, it is not possible for me to answer your questions in the moment, without focusing on you and your surroundings and/or reviewing pictures/floor plans, or, ideally, physically being at your space to see what is going on in your home or office.

With that said....it is always a great idea to schedule a follow up appointment with me to verify that what you have actually placed in your environment, is correctly done.  It's only human nature, that we hear one thing, when something slightly different was actually meant.

Here is an example of a happy client, whose store I just happened to drive by one afternoon.  I immediately saw that they had followed through with my Feng Shui suggestions for a 'cure'.  The physical objects were there, but....they were in the wrong place!  This video will show you that sometimes just a slight movement will create an enormous difference!

If things seem slightly off, make sure you have your adjustments in the precisely proper place! For more information about how you can receive your own complimentary 15 minute telephone consultation, Click here.

Carol Cannon's February 2011 Sacred, Sustainable Living

Increase Your Company Sales in 2011

The Sales Division is an important component of any company. There are many ways that you can help your sales force accomplish their goals. Two important procedures have to do with where they physically sit within the office. 

1. One idea is to place them near the front of the building, where their energy is as close to the outside world as possible. This gives them an advantage, especially if the area of the building they are located in juts out in front of the main entry. 

2. An additional idea is to look at each salesperson’s personal Ming Gua. This calculation, based on their birth date, tells you which direction is best for them to have their desk facing. It can also help them when attending a meeting with a potential client. This is traditional information utilized in many Asian companies. 

Your company can prosper with these same implementations and a matter of setting your positive intentions!

From Feng Shui to Celadon Road - Live from Sterling Spin

What a fun time it was interviewing with Liz Sterling on Sterling Spin this week! The show was about the undercurrent present in today's world, all the shifting that people are doing from the OLD to the NEW. I found myself in that situation over the past few years and Liz invited me on to her show to talk a little about it. Basically, I found that moving back to my hometown in PA was not supporting me in growing my Feng Shui business there - that I had for over 10 years - and loved! Despite meaning I had to leave my aging parents, I made the decision to move back to South Florida, where business has always been great for me. Of course....this was all in the midst of the economic free fall in the U.S. - and while it was better than PA, the summertime in Florida can be like a ghost town!

I was already working on taking more seminars online (almost done! webinars to start by year end 2010!) but wondered what else I might be able to do that would be in alignment with my personal life mission. Watch this video and see how Celadon Road entered into my life! 

It has been a perfect side business that will grow with time and as many of us are looking for - something that will provide the retirement funds in addition to supplemental income NOW! I'm looking forward to helping the world become a little more green!

Healthy Homes for Children

Look upward: Set thine eyes upon the heights

And striving ever towards the distant goal,

Faint not, but have the faith supreme to know

A glorious destiny awaits thy soul.

Margaret Boswell

From the notes of Chauncey J. Pobanz, “Poems and Sayings”

There is a huge shift in the air. I have felt it in my own life. A move to a new home – that is always a major shift. But even more, I have been drawn to focus more on children – to bring information to their parents, their grandparents – information that can help them help their children have healthy, productive lives.

In the past 15 years I have seen a lot of people affected by the environment they were living in. The things that have stayed with me the most were those homes where the parents did not realize that where they placed their children’s bedrooms, and what they placed in and outside of it, had enormous potential for health impacts on their child. I’ve seen children with all sorts of illnesses, many which we concluded were a direct result of the environment.

It could have been elevated electric fields; it may have been the water quality. It possibly was due to the paint and carpeting in the child’s room – or perhaps it was the materials that their toys were made out of. It is difficult to pinpoint the cause after the result is in place – and this led me to realize that I need to do whatever I can to educate before the results go in the wrong direction.

So now I am on an exciting new journey. I’ve embarked upon a journey to find those families that want a healthy life for their family, especially their children. There are many directions that I can go in to reach people and this – this requires goal setting and mapping out the path.

This leads me back to the poem that started out this blog, at the top of the page. My Grandfather, Chauncey J. Pobanz, a man who became a Methodist minister in mid life, kept a journal that I am fortunate to have in my possession. This particular poem reminds me that all of my goals are being directed by my soul. And that, my friends, is glorious.

Ho'oponopono

Ho'oponopono is an ancient Hawaiian healing method for achieving health, wealth, peace, and happiness. Basically, you return to your Self, in which there is nothing... but perfection. We are totally responsible for everything that happens in our lives. By working with the Divinity within, one can erase the past memories and replace them with "nothing."

Kathleen McGinley, organizer of the 9 day Women’s Wellness Retreat in Hawaii on July 19-28 has had training in Basic Self I-Dentity Ho'oponopono by Dr. Hew Len. Dr. Hew Len, who experienced much success with this method of healing, was trained by Morrnah Simeona, the creator of Ho'oponopono. Joe Vitale wrote the first book about Ho'oponopono called “Zero Limits”.

Enjoy the benefits of Kathleen’s knowledge of Ho'oponopono during your transformational week on the Big Island of Hawaii.  Women's Wellness Week - Big Island Hawaii 7/19-28/2010

Feng Shui Business Success Tip

Feng Shui principals embody a myriad of ideas and processes that help people in all areas of life. One favorite of mine is to create an energetic plan to talk with your existing clients. The number 9 embodies the most 'yang' (movement!) energy of all the single digit numbers. Make it a habit to incorporate that number into the frequency of your calls - perhaps make 1 call a day over the next nine days to people you have not spoken to in at least 6 months. Or, try calling 9 people a day for the next 9 days. Make this even more powerful by setting up a 27 day plan - 1 or 9 people each day over that time period. To make this most effective - do NOT ask them for anything and do NOT try to sell them something. Your main focus is to simply check in, see how they are doing, and renew your contact. You will be amazed at what the Universe will provide as a result!

Creating a Home to Nest In: Health, Harmony & Success with Feng Shui & Bau-Biologie®

My life has been the training ground for my expertise as a Feng Shui and Bau-Biologie® Consultant. As a child, I grew up in an organic home, with organic food. As a young adult, I was interested not only in organic principals, but also became interested in the study of Hatha Yoga and meditation, in which I became certified. My career has shifted through the years, from selling real estate, to appraising it, to a 13 year position as V.P. of Chase Manhattan Bank's SE U.S Commercial Appraisal region, to ultimately blending with my early interests in real estate, and emerging like a butterfly, as a Feng Shui and Bau-Biologie® Environmental Consultant. My personal interests focus on world religions, peace, and unity amongst people, which I bring to my clients and listeners through the tools of Feng Shui and Bau Biologie®.

Home is where people feel safe - especially with all the unpredictable events going on in our world today. The more time people spend at home, the more important it is to create a healthy and harmonious environment. The ancient Chinese art of Feng Shui provides tools for empowered living and the German science of Bau-Biologie® makes sure your surroundings are healthy.

For those of you driving around or riding a train, you might enjoy some educational listening by downloading these MP3 Podcasts from my podcast show: Feng Shui 4 Empowered Living: Prescriptions for Health, Harmony & Success. I recently recorded a two part series, ‘Creating a Home to Nest In" , found at http://www.energyofthespirit.com/ . In the two segments, I explore how listeners can take a different look at their own environments to create a comfortable, healthy space.
Starting off the series, I provide listeners with a background of Feng Shui, the ancient art of placement for success. I discuss the 9 main areas of life found in the Ba-gua, and how to apply this basic template tool to your surroundings. Over the past 17 years, I have studied many schools of thought in Feng Shui, and in this show, I covered the ‘Western' method of finding the different areas of your life. Listen and you will learn how you can create an empowered living environment in your own home.

In Part 2, I share my expertise and experience as a Certified Bau-Biologie® Environmental Consultant since 1995 and discuss the 3 main areas that affect a typical home occupants' health. Air quality, Water and Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) are the key areas that a Bau (Building) Biologist focuses on when creating a healthy home to nest in.

Each podcast is approximately 20 minutes long, found at http://www.energyofthespirit.com/  My Facebook Fan Page also provides ongoing thoughts on how you can create more harmony in your own environment. Please join now at www.facebook.com/CarolCannonGroup

Wishing you happy and long living!

A Good Day - Lowering Electro Magnetic Fields in a Home

Today was a good day. I was able to determine that the elevated AC Electric Fields in a lovely family's home will be able to be reduced substantially. So important, particularly in a family with young children. Elevated electric fields open the door to lowering the body's defenses to disease over time. It's a good day when that can be mitigated.
I noticed the elevation for the first time when my repeat client bought a new home. They inviited me to review their home for ideas to help them with the design process, from a Feng Shui point of view. It had been 6 months since their purchase, and they felt it was time for me to come back for a review. In that interim, they painted the home with non-toxic paint, updated light and fan fixtures, purchase some new furniture, and set about to 'living' in the home.

Their daughter was in the room that initially had the most concern for me. I did a preliminarly test and found elevated fields, suspecting that it was the exterior transformer near the front of the home. Today, I discovered that the AC Magnetic fields (the ones I sampled) were actually in good condition. However, the AC Electric fields, which we call 'body voltage' in the field of Bau-biology, were quite elevated. Through proper shielding, and shut off of a few circuit breakers at night time, they will lower the fields by 90% of the current levels.

The symptoms that the daughter was exhibiting (and their younger son) were that they had not slept through the night since moving in to the house, thus, they were all sleep deprived. When electric fields are elevated, they impact the pineal gland, which slows the production of melatonin - which is needed for deep, restful sleep. No sleep = irritable children = stressed family. We are all excited tonight as until their shielding cloths arrive, they are going to experiment with turning off a few specific circuit breakers each night before going to sleep. I expect that when I talk to them again in about 1 week, that I will find they will be a lot more rested.

This is a story that I will be following up on and my 'intuition' tells me that there will be some happy endings. If you have not ever heard about electromagnetic fields (or want to know more) check out http://buildingbiology.net/

9 Feng Shui Tips for Selling Your Home

Are you a home owner trying to sell your home?

Has it been sitting unnoticed on the market for months?

Do you wish you could get at least one offer?

Are you ready to try something out of the box?

Carol Cannon’s 9 Feng Shui Tips for Selling Your Home is YOURS when you click here and sign up for my Ezine newsletter. The tools of Feng Shui can help you plan your effective sales strategy. In today's markets, you are obviously trying to price your home at the best price that you believe the market can bear, yet even that can be elusive. You might even have an irresistible price - still something seems to hinder offers from coming in.

Similar to, and often done in conjunction with staging a home to sell, Feng Shui can give you that 'unseen' edge that many find words cannot fully describe! There is an invisible energy field around your home and it needs to be cleared and adjustments made to bring it into balance. This invisible energy is felt by your prospective buyers – and everything needs to be done to make them feel comfortable when they walk in – even before they enter your home!

You can make some simple adjustments that will seem almost miraculous. If you are motivated to sell, have a realistic price set, a good marketing plan and nothing is happening – the missing link is likely the power of placement known as Feng Shui!


For a complimentary list of Feng Shui tips to get you positively moving toward SOLD and other tips monthly in my Ezine, click here NOW! I guarantee you will soon be on the way to freeing yourself from your home! 

With many blessings,

Carol Cannon

Creativity

I used to be an early riser, filled with creative ideas the moment I got out of bed.  These days, the end of the day seems to be the opening to my creative juices.  Living on the intracoastal in South Florida is a treat - and I enjoy rising slowly, watching the sun sneak up to the sky, with Hercules and Zeus (my 2 cats) and my cup of organic coffee.  Mornings have turned into times for me to fill my soul, rather than pour it out into the world.  Daily, I start out with sacred music, a great view, and slowly I begin to fill up with life.

That said, by the end of the afternoon, I find that the sun setting calls me outside for a walk that is the formal end to my productive work day.  Scenes like the one at left leave me speechless some evenings - and it is a great way for me to empty my mind from all that went on during the day.  Somehow, it seems that in this emptying, I am finding my most creative thoughts emerge at the same time.  Once that starts flowing, it feels so good that when I return, I'll either start writing, or free drawing, or even creative cooking.  This is a whole new side of me that seems to have turned inside out - a person that I am living with that seems to be recreating life for me!

What are you doing to allow your creative juices to express themselves?  What have I done that has caused this shift?  One important thing I have done is move a lot of furniture around in my condo at the start of the New Chinese Year.  Old habits don't leave easily - moving furniture around is a habit that I've had since I was a little girl!  Things just 'feel' differently in new locations - and when you couple that with Feng Shui and all that I know about it - it is a magical experience.  These days when I am working at my desk, it is in a more open space where I am able to open the doors to the patio so Herc & Zeus can enjoy the fresh air - and we all get to enjoy the water view as we work.  There is a lot of work ahead that requires me to be creative - and the basic, bottom line for me is feeling good in my surroundings.  Good Feng Shui always comes through.
