Feng Shui Expert Taps Into Law of attraction

Ever since The Secret was exposed on Oprah, millions of people have been attracted to... attraction. The Law of attraction, that is. The phenomenal film and book by Australian producer Rhonda Byrne has gained an increasing share of popular attention, culminating in two recent episodes of The Oprah Winfrey Show. Yet the secret has been around for centuries - and millions of people put it to work in their environments through the ancient practice of feng shui.

Linda Binns, a nationally known expert in feng shui and holistic health, says that feng shui masters have incorporated the Law of attraction into their practice for centuries. We use it all the time in feng shui, she says.

In her recent book, Feng Shui for Your Relationships: Changing Your Environment to Create Better Relationships, Binns writes: The power of feng shui involves making changes 'with intention...' As you work with feng shui and focus on enhancing the energy around you, you will find that you attract positive relationships.

Binns suggests that anyone interested in changing his or her life, whether in terms of wealth, health, professional achievement or relationships, must begin by determining exactly what needs to change. Visualizing the ideal outcome of change is an important step to success, she says. In fact, she advises feng shui clients and students to pause before making any changes in the home or office and set a clear intention. You can't just move your furniture around and wait for something magical to happen. You have to proceed with a specific outcome in mind, she says.

People often don't believe that they already have everything required to live the life they choose, she continues. But feng shui practitioners recognize that we do have all we need. The secret to feng shui, Binns adds, is simply knowing how to maximize the flow of positive energy in the environment in order to help our best lives emerge, once a clear intention is set that helps define what that life will look like.

And what sounds a bit new age is actually a proven scientific phenomenon, based on the physical existence of molecular energy. Binns agrees with the sources quoted in The Secret regarding the fact that energy frequencies are physical manifestations of human intention. I've seen feng shui work wonders in people's lives, she says. But the most successful individuals are the ones who truly know where they want to go and are open to a variety of experiences and paths in reaching that goal.
