The astonishing secrets of ancient Chinese wisdom unfold as youexplore the world of Diamond Feng Shui. Using the principles shared hereyou will discover how something as easy as moving your bed can makeyou more money. Sound amazing? With Diamond Feng Shui you willunexpectedly find yourself at the right place, at the right time, to meet theright people, to attract the highest energy, and live the richest life.

Apply Diamond Feng Shui wisdom to:

• Establish yourself as Icingor queen of your home and office• Attract more luck and good fortune in your career, relationships,

health, and spiritual growth• Receive support for all of your creative possibilities

What is Feng Shui?Feng Shui is an ancient art and science based on laws that govern the

flow of energy, what the Chinese refer to as Qi (pronounced "chee"),Positive changes you make in your environment create improvements inthe level and flow of Qi energy in your life, When you improve the flowof energy, you are in a much better position to attract what you desirefrom the universe.

In Feng Shui your good fortune and luck is the sum of three kindsof luck:

• Heaven Luck - the life circumstances you were born into• Human Luck - your attitudes and behaviors that determine what

you do with your life's circumstances• Earth Luck - the positive or negative influence of the environment

you live and work in

Each of these constitutes one third of your total fortune. Althoughyou have little control over the circumstances you were born into, you

3

Page 3: Diamond Feng Shui Essentials

do have control over your Human and Earth Luck. Improve your luck inthese two areas, and you influence your Heaven Luck.

Feng Shui improves your Earth Luck. Using Diamond Feng Shuiprinciples you create a better flow of energy in your environmentand consciously direct that flow to achieve what you desire in yourlife. Everything is energy. The positive energy of a good Feng Shuienvironment surrounds you and influences you 24 hours a day, sevendays a week, your whole lifetime.

Feng Shui is like a form of acupuncture for the unified field of energythat includes your home and body. Activate an area of your home and youstart a flow of energy through your body, mind, and soul for more successin your career, health, relationships and spiritual growth.

A solid wall behind you provides better support thana door or window.

Step 3: Position your desk.

Position yourself like a queen or king ro see the incoming flowof people through the door. If you can see the incoming flowfrom where you sit, you can see the opportunities that cometo you. You will make the right decisions because you can seeall the angles and hear the right advisors. However, do not sitdirectly in the flow from the door.

Face one of your four best directions as described on thenext page.

Five Steps to Improve the Flow of EnergyFeng Shui masters have shown through the millennia that improving

your Earth Luck is fast, easy, and within your control. When you changethe position of your desk or bed, or change other things such as colorsin your surroundings, the impact is immediate and direct. Doing so alsocreates a positive spiralling of energy upward that affects your HumanLuck and Heaven Luck as well.

To improve your Feng Shui and energy flow, follow these five steps:

Step 1: Clean and organize your home or works pace.

To get your Earth Luck energy flowing, prepare your home oroffice for the queen or king to take up residence by creatingan open space in every room. To begin, gather the clutter andhide it in closets and cabinets or under something. In laterlevels of this course, you'll learn more intensive space clearing.For now, wipe the dust from your room and clean thefloor. Remove dead as well as dried flowers, and place freshbouquets if you wish.

Step 2: Select the proper chair.

Sit on a strong, solid high-backed chair. Because Feng Shuirequires that you feel the support of the universe in your life,your personal "throne" must support you in the back.

(Example desk directions depending upon the position of the doorway and thedirection you face while sitring.)

Step 4: Position your bed.

Opportunities keep coming at night because dreams andinspiration influence great decisions. To remain in power asyou sleep, position your bed so you can clearly see the doorand you have a solid wall behind you for support. However,do not sleep directly in the flow from the door. Sleep in aqueen- or king-sized bed even when you sleep alone.

Sleep with your head toward one of your four best directions.

Step 5: Activate and face your personal best directions.

To do this, you will need to know your Personal EnergyNumber. The Chinese call this your kua number. Kua meanseight and relates to the eight different directions from which'universal Qi flows to you.

You may find that you cannot position your bed or desk perfectly dueto the confines of the room. In this case, the first priority is to face orsleep toward one of your personal best directions. Second priority is tobe out of the flow from the door, and third is to be able to see the doorwhen in bed or at your desk.

N = 337.5° to 22.5° NE = 22.5" to 67.5° E = 67.5° to 112.5°

SE = 112.5° to 157.5° S = 157.5° to 202.5°

To be a powerful queen or king, you will activate each of yourpersonal best directions to create success, a healthy long life, greatrelationships, and personal growth that inspires you and may even makeyou an inspiration for others.

Face Your Best Directions with Your Desk and BedPosition your desk to face a good personal direction when you work

and position your bed to sleep in a good direction. This can have anamazingly powerful effect right away because it keeps you in the bestflow of Qi for you.

10 11

Here's how to check the directions:

1) Stand behind your desk with a compass in the direction youface when sitting at your desk or computer screen. Position yourdesk so that when you sit, you face one of your personal bestdirections.

I2) Facing the headboard, stand at the foot of your bed to check

the compass direction. Position your bed so that when you sleep,the top of your head points toward one of your personalbest directions.

As much as possible, orient toward your personal best directions whenyou work and sleep. You will connect with the flow of positive energycoming toward you and attract more good fortune in your life.

Spouses/Partners with opposite best directions

When you and your spouse or partner have opposite best directions,(one person belongs to the East Group and the other to the WestGroup), the front door will be in a good direction for one of you (usethe compass direction you face when you are standing in the doorwaylooking out). Arrange the bed so that you sleep toward one of the fourbest directions for the other. This balances the front door "day Qi" withthe bed "night Qi." If this balance cannot be achieved, is there anotherdoor that the other spouse or partner can use? In any case, be sure toactivate both of your success directions in the bedroom.

Activate Your Personal Best Directions

IYou will find two sets of activation cards with this program. Use one

set for your home and one set for your office space. Each card referencesone of the eight compass directions as well as the number, geometricshape, and color that are basic activations for that direction.

For example, the card for North includes:

• The number" 1"• A blue wavy or asymmetric shape• A white circle

Page 7: Diamond Feng Shui Essentials

These are the number, shape, and color for water, the elementthat activates energy in the North, along with the shape and color formetal, which enhances water.

You will learn more about the different elements in Levels One, Twoand Three of this program. These principles work even if you do notknow all of the details yet. Consider that you do not have to understandelectriciry to use it and benefit from it.

Activation Card InstructionsUse these cards to activate the flow of positive energy.

1) Find the card assigned to your success direction.

2) Write your main intention for success in your life on your card.

3) Write three related intentions. Each leads toward the fulfillmentof your main intention. You can think of these as a minimum goal,a target goal, and an outstanding goal. Then sign and date the card.

4) Find images that represent your intention.

5) Place each activation card and image in the appropriatecompass direction.

For Your Home

The first set of four cards you will place in your bedroom. These areyour goals or intentions for your personal and family life.

Here's an example to illustrate this process:

Sarah has been doing her best to make ends meet. Her spending andcredit card debt uses all her monthly income leaving no room for savingor investing. She feels that she can create a healthier financial future bymaking some changes. Sarah has a Personal Energy Number of "6."

So Sarah will:

1) Select the West card because that is her success direction.

2) Write her main intention for personal success: J, Sarab, amfinancially abundant and direct my wealth for a debt-free life andsecurefinancial future.

12

3) Write three related intentions:

• Minimum goal: J spend wisely each week and put an extra$140 toward my existing Visa card bill each month .

• Target goal: With each debt J eliminate, J add the monthly paymentJ was making towards the next bill J am paying off.

• Outstanding goal: J am debt free by my 30th birthday and'have increased my salary by 25 percent with career advancementsat-work.

Another approach to filling out the activation card is to write yourLifetime Goal for financial and career success and your three mostimportant goals for this year. Both approaches can generate stunning results.

Since each intention is important, please take your time determiningwhat you choose to attract into your life. If you have no idea what youwould like to attract, see the "Goal Setting Guidelines" section.

Follow the same process to complete the activation cards for your otherthree best directions of health, relationships, and spiritual growth. Refer tothe sample activation cards on pages 18 and 19 for additional examples.

For Your Office

Here's an example:

increase his career and financial success energy. Thomas has a PersonalEnergy Number "9," and his success direction is East.

Thomas will:

1) Select the East card to activate his success direction.

2) Write his main intention for success: 1, Thomas, am successful inmy career as a product development specialist and enjoy abundantwealth flowing to me for my creations. Notice that his writingstates his intention as if it is already being experienced.

3) Write three smaller intentions:

• Minimum goal: My product development proposal to mycompany is completed.

• Target goal: My development proposal is accepted and J am workingon creative designs.

• Outstanding goal: My income increased by 50 percent by the endof the year and my design project is into the first production phase.I am making twice my normal retirement investments.

Guidelines for Goal Setting

To create goals and intentions that work, follow these guidelines:

1) tared in the positive

Goals must specify what you want, not what you do not want.For example, if you do not like your cramped house in a noisyneighborhood and want to move, specify exactly the characteristicsand location of the house you want using positive terms. "I live ina spacious three-bedroom townhome in a quiet neighborhood withmature trees and a park nearby."

2) Within your control

Ultimately you are the one to decide what you want. For example,the goal "I want my family to be happy" is not within your control;you cannot control how someone else feels. Consider, "I help createa home environment that supports my family's health, well-being,and happiness."

3) Preserves the present positives

State your goal so that it maintains the things you valuemost. If you have to give up too much to have a goal, it isunlikely you will seek it. For example, earning more money willtake away from family time when it requires overtime or additionalschooling. Be sure you are choosing a trade-off that is right for you.

4) Measurable and testable

You must be able to know when you have achieved your goal.If your goal is to be happy, it is very difficult to know whetheryou have it or if it willlasr. To turn "I want to be happy" into ameasurable goal, you must specify what happiness means to you."I will spend four hours of quality time with my family each weekengaged in intriguing, learning activities."

5) Worthwhile

Craft a goal around what you greatly desire.Your goal must besomething you value. For example, if you set a goal because yourpartner or doctor wants you to, you are setting yourself up for struggle.

The phrasing of your goal or intention helps stimulate the flow ofQi. Since the universe operates in the present moment, your intentionsshould be stated in the present tense. Avoid using "going to" or "will" orconditional phrases such as "If! achieve this, then I will achieve that."Rather, use "I am ..." or "I now..." or "This is..."

Realizing the fulfillment of your intention may require time andaction. To say, "I am now earning twice my previous income" may notbe believable.To say, "I am attracting the ways to earn twice my previousincome" putS the goal in progress and allow time for acceptance. The newphrasing makes your activation card believable and the result achievable.

Activate with ImagesFind images that represent each goal, and place them on or near the

appropriate card. For example:

• If you have a certain professional career in mind, find an image ofsomeone who represents a successful career in this field.

• If you want to start exercising or eating better, find an image of aperson working out or eating healthy food.

• Also activate your spiritual growth with items or images thatrepresent your intentions. This might be a book, picture, orstatue that represents your spiritual intentions.

display each of your four cards for the home in its correct compassdirection in your bedroom. Also place your four cards for the office intheir correct compass directions in your office.

Display each card in a gold frame where you will be able to see itduring the day. If you prefer to be more discreet, place each card in anenvelope with the activation card facing toward you. You can put itbehind a picture or some other item.

To place your activation cards, use a compass and follow these steps:

1) Stand in the center of the room and look at your compass.The floating colored arrow points to magnetic north. From thiscenter point, layout the eight directions in your room.

2) Place your activation cards and images in your four best directionsaccording to your Personal Energy Number. Say the statements onyour cards Out loud, and visualize yourself in your images' as youplace your activations.
