feng shui for the empath

When I first walked into Mosaik Design’s beautiful Interior Design appointment-only showroom, I felt lost. “Where do I go?” I thought. There was no clear visible answer, so I simply sang out a strong “Hello.”

It turned out I wasn’t the only one who felt that way. As I later learned, clients and others who entered the front door also didn’t know which direction to go, and that left them feeling confused. In the language of energy and in my view, that translated to an energetic block–missed opportunities and lack of focus–all of which were not contributing to good business or energetic harmony.

After discussing the problem and the appropriate solutions with owner Arlene Lord, she immediately went to work to change the space. (See photos at left.) Arlene, who is a very gifted artist/designer, created an intentional entryway that was beautiful, welcoming and focused.

Objects placed on the foyer table had meaning. The shape of the table served to direct energy in the appropriate direction into the next room. The painting gave the eye a calm place of focus and represented the element of water, appropriate to the Feng Shui of the space.

The placement of the hand sculpture called, “Vitarka Mudra” on top of the foyer table (see above photo)  is not only a Spiritual symbol in Buddhism that means “Intellectual Discussion”, but also serves to guide those entering into the next room, which also happens to be the meeting room where clients and designers meet to discuss projects.

Interestingly, when Arlene purchased the item she had no idea what it meant. Only that it spoke to her from a deeper place. In my view, it was confirmation that her body intuitively understood something on a level that her mind did not fully comprehend.

Finally, the sign “Welcome to our Style, What’s Yours?” with an arrow into the room was strategically placed to announce the business and direct the flow of energy.

All of the above collectively came together to create a harmonious, beautiful, welcoming entryway and a wonderful first impression to all those who enter.

How has this improved business?

Now when clients walk through the front door of the showroom they are clearly greeted and guided into a waiting area before they are met by a designer or staff member. This helps begin each important business transaction with the client feeling oriented and at-ease. The psychological benefits of mutuality and trust from a transaction that begins in this way can extend throughout the deal, benefiting both Mosaik Design and their clients.
