Feng Shui your thoughts using a Mind Map.

Having met with Marie Diamond socially on a few occasions, it’s became apparent to me that the art in Feng Shui works the same way as a mind map.
Marie has shared several examples of the work she’d done – one example is of course told about in the Secret Movie, and learning from this incredible lady I realized that as energy in different areas of our living environment make a fundamental difference to the lives & goals so does the way in which we organize our thoughts. It’s all energy after all.
The briefest description of Feng Shui would have you become aware of these areas in your environment - that correspond to areas in your life i.e. wealth, health and relationships. A map is starting to form of your home and thus a mind map springs to mind immediately. It’s ordering energy in your home. As thoughts are energy too it makes sense to draw the similarity that a mind map of your thoughts/work/projects is the same as ensuring the right energy in the appropriate areas in your home. To elaborate let’s Feng Shui your home – imagine you have had some time with Marie or watched her Feng Shui Essentials DVD’s and now you’re aware of the areas in your life corresponding to areas in your home. Let’s use the wealth area of your home (for example) and let’s remove an item that perhaps indicated “lack”. You would prefer “abundance of wealth” so you removed the item associated to “lack” and two days later a rather lovely check arrived in the mail. Co-incidence some may say, others would know that energy of like attracts like – Law of Attraction states this clearly.
So what if your thoughts were like your home and you had a way to group like with like and thus able to “attract” what you desire into you life. Perhaps you would Feng Shui your thoughts with a mind map, grouping and branching thoughts and ideas into a colorful visual display of what’s on your mind and what you want in your life. The next day you may find that check arrives in the post because you have been prompted into an action you might otherwise have forgotten. This is just an example.
Mind mapping my goals was the first mind map I ever created – sorting out the different areas of my life and deciding on what my goals were for each of these areas then adding pictures of these outcomes. A picture tells 1000 words so there must be pictures. This is such a powerful tool – many have “dream boards” – I use a mind map and of course they work as well as dream boards do.
Now consider the consequences of mind mapping a work related project and the outcomes too – law of attraction says like attracts like so now using a mind map you have a way of capturing your thoughts, plans, projects and the outcomes. This is Feng Shui at work – this is Feng Shui-ing your working thoughts and your dreaming thoughts into one map. Ensure your goals for the day or week or month by understanding this simple process. Did you know there is a part of your brain responsible for this job of seeking outcomes of powerful thoughts. Its called the reticular activating system (RAS) and it does what its told to every day. Just ensure all the same thoughts are grouped accordingly by Feng Shui-ing your mind using a mind map. This is extremely powerful.
