Jayashree's note

Remedy for my life!

The most common phrase I hear from both, clients and non-clients is "is there a remedy?" My reply to all of them is "there is no bigger remedy on earth than your actions themselves." I get a quizzical look from most.

Feng shui and other metaphysical sciences are infamous for their so-called remedies. Most people are used to a fix it all kind of solution – you wear something and you will attract love or wealth or health.

Let me emphasize what I mean, a few months ago during a bazi consultation, while looking into a young man's bazi chart, I told him that he should take care of his health as he is prone to having heart problems around late forties. His immediate question was "is there a remedy?" I told him that there was a remedy but he would have to spend money and time after it. He was eager to listen to this remedy as "price was not a factor." My remedy - "everyday you will have to wake up early and spend at least 1 hour exercising at least six days a week, for this you may have to spend money for the equipment or the gym fees. You should visit a good dietitian or a nutritionist and have your diet reviewed, again you will have to spend money for the same." He was slightly confused but he shook his head in agreement and said "extremely practical solution".

That's my approach – practical solutions. It is difficult for people to understand that applying feng shui in their houses ensures that they have the right energy to do their work and follow their goals but they still need to put in their effort. Applying feng shui in your life doesn't mean that a bird will carry money and drop it on your lap but what feng shui does is create the opportunity, give you the perseverance and the energy required to create wealth, health and romance.

Till we meet again. See you next month.
