Feng shui and tabletop fountains have a long shared tradition. It is well-known that a technically designed tabletop fountain brings wealth and prosperity to one’s life. A tabletop fountain can have a disastrous affect in your life if it is employed incorrectly.

There are the 3 things that you should avert at any price as far as tabletop fountain application is concerned:

1. It is fundamental to put your tabletop water fountain on the left side of the door. By stationing the water fountain on the “right” side, promiscuosness is attracted in one’s life. Your romantic relationship may experience the perils of unfaithfulness when you take a danger of placing the water fountain in the right side of the door. The “right-hand” side is the side that shows up when looked at it from the interior of the house.
2. It is primal to pick a water feature that is not too big for room that it is going to be located in. Water fountains are powerful energy producers and Setting a large water feature, e.g. a shishi odoshi, in small room may results in negative over-energizing outcomes.
3. Choose your figurines wisely. For instance, a figurine of a dragon depicting devastating emotions should be avoided at any price. beneficial energy can be injected in your surroundings by choosing to put an angel figurine or a buddha statuette by your tabletop fountain.

All the gains of a tabletop fountain are bound to be yours if you comprise these authoritative concepts in your office decoration, whether you are an NJ Accountant or an AZ lawyer.

The more I practice centering, the more I realize that as important as it is to be able to identify and access the centered state, it is equally important to be able to know when I’m NOT centered. Otherwise, how do I choose?

When I’m centered I’m in control of my behavior. Centered action is on purpose and by choice. Uncentered action is reactive and out of control, and I end up looking back with regret.

I’ve spent a lot of time figuring out my personal symptoms of uncenteredness. Physically, my legs tense and knees lock; my jaw locks, my throat closes, and I stop breathing.

Mental and emotional symptoms vary, but I can become self-righteous, depressed, and very self-critical. Without warning, these reactive responses combine into a mind/body state that is powerful enough to overcome all my good intentions and noble purposes.

When something happens that triggers these physical and emotional states, I increasingly notice them at earlier stages. I can then ask myself if I want to go where they will carry me. Sometimes it’s a difficult choice. These reactions are “practiced” and seductive. To choose to be centered means to integrate that energy in some new and more useful way in which I’m not as practiced.

This kind of awareness is learned and developed. And, speaking from experience, it can be done. Here’s my path, and I urge you to add to it:

• INTENTION. Have a clear intention to develop control over your reactive state.

• DISCOVERY. Begin to notice your symptoms. The next time you start to “lose it,” become active in that process and make a different choice.

• JUST DO IT. (Thank you, Nike.) Breathe, relax, or play a mental tape that helps you get centered. Visualize your “happy place,” as one of my clients puts it.

• DISCIPLINE. Don’t settle for letting yourself be hijacked by your reactions. When you do “lose it” – use it. Go back in your mind’s eye, and ask how the situation might have played out had you been centered. It’s a great way to reinforce what you want to do next time.

You have more power than you think. Know what you want for your life and go get it.
