Predecessor Chi of a Desk |
| |
Q: I am in the midst of starting a home-based life coaching practice and purchased a used desk from an office supply store with great intentions of being eco-friendly and economical. Then I panicked when I read on your site not to buy used furniture unless you know it has “good predecessor chi.” I don't know the history of the desk, so I don’t know whether predecessor chi will be a problem. I'd like to keep it -- I don't have funds for a new one and it is a lovely desk -- so is there a way to clean it of old energy?
A: Since you don’t know the provenance of your desk it would be a good idea to “smudge” it with some sage (sage bundles are often available at natural food stores, as well as new age-type bookstores/retailers).
I’d also place a nice chunk of amethyst crystal in the FAME area of the desktop (i.e., center of the far side from where you sit) with the intention that it help you build a reputation with clients for your insight, clarity, and compassion.
Although it’s good feng shui to avoid anything with negative/difficult predecessor chi, you just don’t know whether or not that’s a factor here. I’m sure some would say “err on the side of caution!,” get rid of the desk, and stick with new office furniture only. But I believe that assuming the worst in any situation is a terrible life strategy, as it goes against everything we know about deliberate creation and the law of attraction. Why not assume that you were guided to that desk because it is the perfect solution for you at this time?
I am confident that you have wonderful intentions for your new coaching practice, and feel called to become an exceptionally positive and effective counselor for others. Why not assume, then, given those intentions, that any used desk you feel drawn to will have wonderful predecessor chi?
Assume the best, smudge the desk anyway just to be sure, thank the powers that be for guiding you to finding such a useful and economical feature for your new home office, and then pat yourself on the back for being eco-friendly as well.
Wishing you all the best with your life coaching practice,
