In Feng Shui it often<br /> appears as if things happen by magic for some.<br /> Co-incidences seemly appear from nowhere.<br /> <br /> You're thinking about a new direction for your business and<br /> you just happen to be introduced to the perfect person to<br /> help you move in that direction. It's tempting to say<br /> “what a co-incidence, I was just thinking about that”.<br /> When it happens to someone else you might say “They are<br /> always lucky”.<br /> <br /> Co-incidence? Naturally lucky? I don't think so. I see<br /> it as putting out some energy and then being open to<br /> synchronicity. And, once you start noticing it - it's<br /> everywhere. In Feng Shui you set your intention, anchor<br /> that in your environment with an enhancement, and then<br /> your job is to get out of your own way and be open to the<br /> messages and synchronicity that are occurring around you.<br /> <br /> The Helpful People area of the Bagua is a favorite of mine.<br /> Chance meetings, helpful people appearing from nowhere -<br /> just waiting for your energy to reach out. It occurs in all<br /> areas of the Bagua, and all parts of your life.<br /> <br /> In his book “Luck Factor” Dr Richard Wiseman writes<br /> that it’s not magic that is responsible for good or bad<br /> fortune, but your own ways of thinking and behaving. Why<br /> do some people appear consistently lucky and others<br /> consistently unlucky?<br /> <br /> Wiseman came up with 4 main principles that characterize<br /> lucky people:<br /> <br /> 1. Lucky people are skilled at creating, noticing and<br /> acting on chance opportunities<br /> <br /> 2. They make effective decisions by paying attention to<br /> their intuition and gut feelings<br /> <br /> 3. They are sure the future is going to be full of good<br /> fortune<br /> <br /> 4. They employ various psychological techniques to cope<br /> with, and even thrive upon, the ill fortune that comes<br /> their way<br /> <br /> As to why lucky people encounter so many chance<br /> opportunities, Wiseman conducted an experiment.<br /> <br /> He gave newspapers to equal numbers of people who<br /> considered themselves lucky, and those who considered<br /> themselves unlucky, and asked them to count how many photos<br /> were inside.<br /> <br /> The unlucky people took about 2 minutes to count the<br /> photos, while lucky people took only a few seconds. This<br /> was because on Page 2 there was a message that read, “Stop<br /> counting. There are 43 photographs in this newspaper”.<br /> The words were in large print and took up half the page but<br /> the unlucky people didn’t tend to see them. They also<br /> missed the message in the middle of the page telling them<br /> to stop counting, to win $700.<br /> <br /> For sure some things happen purely by chance - but if you<br /> are the sort of person who consistently encounters bad<br /> luck, you have to ask yourself why this is happening.<br /> <br /> You CAN improve your luck. Here are some tips to help you<br /> increase synchronicity and make the most of it when it<br /> happens:<br /> <br /> 1. Get very clear about your intention and create<br /> environments that inspire you. Surround yourself with<br /> what you need to work your best – a clutter free<br /> environment, music, inspiring people.<br /> <br /> 2. Be open to new experiences<br /> <br /> 3. Build your intuitive abilities by clearing your mind<br /> of other thoughts - for example, meditating, journaling,<br /> and trusting your intuition and acting on it.<br /> <br /> 4. Even in the face of failure, see it as part of the<br /> process. Often when you look back you can see how that<br /> experience was a necessary part of your journey. If you<br /> resist your experiences it makes it more difficult to move<br /> on. It is easier to embrace them when you know there is a<br /> reason, even if you can’t see it right now.<br /> <br /> 5. Don't dwell on ill fortune - take control of the<br /> situation<br /> <br /> 6. Work with a coach - it will help you make the most of<br /> your experiences - the good and the seemly bad. You will<br /> be amazed at what is going on in your life once you tune<br /> in!<br /> <br /> These are the actions lucky people take - how about you?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5427788268724578903-3239305049736419841?l=are-you-lucky.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/DGZNAIHyA0wkZQ1d4D1CcX-17tU/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/DGZNAIHyA0wkZQ1d4D1CcX-17tU/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/DGZNAIHyA0wkZQ1d4D1CcX-17tU/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/DGZNAIHyA0wkZQ1d4D1CcX-17tU/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/oLnI/~4/HqW5vJaoC2k" height="1" width="1"/>Shabbar Suterwala -
