I particularly like the chapter on Vision Boarding, which is a process in which you create a collage on a feng shui bagua. You may know that in feng shui there are nine baguas, areas of your home that correspond to the nine areas of your life. The one I want to focus on is, of course, the Love and Partnership bagua located at the back, right-hand corner of your home.
A vision board is good because creating clear intention and setting goals is not always enough for everyone. For love and partnership, your vision board could include visual representations like a candlelit dinner table, kissing lips, hands clasped together, etc. The key is to really think about specific images. You can also have verbal affirmations as part of your vision board, like, “I am going on a fabulous vacation with my ideal partner” or whatever inspires/motivates you.
There are three steps to creating a successful vision board:
• give yourself 25 minutes to find the images
• tear the whole page from the book/magazine instead of cutting it out and trying
to crop it perfectly or get the perfect size
• collage for 25 minutes
Don’t strive for perfection. It can be all over the place. In fact, that’s what a collage is supposed to be.
To “activate” your vision board (very important!) do these three things:
• share it with people you love – this is vital because the power of a shared intention makes it manifest faster
• display your feng shui map. Meditate on it. Put it on your phone, or make it the wallpaper for your laptop. Put it by your desk. The key is to have it where you’ll see it.
• put it in the actual love and partnership bagua – the rear, right-hand corner of your home
I love my vision board and I get lots of inspiration and power from it. I know you will too. Salvatore Manzi is all about creating a supportive environment that propels you to your dreams. I couldn’t agree more. Try vision boarding for yourself and let me know how it goes. Better yet, send me a picture of yours, if you’d like to. I’d love to see it!
