How to Get People to Help You--Using Feng Shui

Using Your Helpful People Corner to Get the Help You Need

Use the Bagua as a guide.

Sometimes all of us need a little help from others. After all, we are not an island but live in a social world of endless connections. Let’s use post as as another opportunity to give this incredible philosophical and practical process a try. 

Whether you need outside help for your career, love life, health issues, social calendar, or something more personal, adjusting your helpful people corner will provide you with the energy shift you desire. As usual this works best when you stick with general requests not specific persons because sometimes we don’t know who is best for our highest good. Let the universe take care of that part of things. Remember the helpful person(s) can take various forms so keep your eyes and mind open. Now let’s proceed.

Check our reliable bagua (above), and find your career corner. As in any other area, you can have multiple helpful people spaces. For example, you can have one in your office space and another in your home as a whole or within one of your rooms. As with your other areas you can have your helpful people area in a small space like a desk. We will continue to emphasize that the point is the intent and energy you use within that space is what matters. You can usually find your helpful people area on the “northwest” corner geographically speaking or your personal lower right hand spot of any of your spaces.

Once you’ve identified your space, you can create and make adjustments that work for you. We can’t say it enough but the more creative you are and fun you have, the more enjoyable and effective it will be.

 Examples of what we can use in this corner

You can place objects and use white, grey tones and black colors, in this space.

Items that symbolize the qualities you want in a helpful person and are balanced with the rest of your life are strongly recommended. Try to use what is for your highest and greater good and what is truly meant for you.

Symbols like wind chimes, fresh flowers, paintings and pictures with spiritual significance like:

• angels 
• Christ 
• Buddha 
• teachers 
• mentors 
• wise elders 

Conditions and ideals that are of personal significance can also be used. For instance, you can put on a piece of paper pictures or written words of ideal type of assistance you need, etc. Use general descriptions of qualities you want as well as values.

The element for this space is METAL. You can anything made of metal and place it in this corner (stay away from knives or other sharp cutting objects.  Have fun and be creative.

As always remember not to let the North, South, East, West directions confuse you. You simply go by the bagua and the space you are in. Not the outside world. So for instance when you enter a room or are looking at a specific space, see yourself in the center of the map. In front is Recognition, reputation and fame, to your right in the upper corner is romantic relationship, to you right/center is family, right lower corner helpful people, etc.
