Resetting your clocks

For most of us, today starts daylight savings time. Here's some Feng Shui advice for setting your clocks from my website.

So you think you’re pretty clever by having the alarm clock by your bed set ten minutes ahead and the one on the oven set seven minutes ahead. You reason that it gets you going in the morning.

Never mind the fact that the mantle clock in the living room is stuck on daylight savings time and the cuckoo from Aunt Minnie stopped working last March (not to mention the blinking 12:00 on the DVD player.)

Wanna know what’s going on from a Feng Shui perspective?

It depends on where the area falls on the Bagua Energy Map, the essential tool for Feng Shui. Let’s say the bedroom is in the Love Area and the clock is set ten minutes ahead. Maybe you are always rushing relationships. Pushing your partner before they are ready. “Hurry up. Let’s go!”

Maybe the one in the living room falls in the Wealth Area…and it’s an hour late. Do checks take awhile to get to you? Are people slow to make decisions regarding your business?

And what about Aunt Minnie’s cuckoo?

Hmm, what if that is in the Travel & Helpful People Area. Are you stuck doing everything alone? Do people bypass you and recommend others? Is traffic and travel unnecessarily a burden? Or do you feel like you never go anywhere.

Set all of your clocks (watches & calendars, too!) to the accurate time. It might take a short while to get used to, but it will make everything flow better. You and all members of the household will be on time and in the moment rather than sluggish or rushing.
