Feng Shui or not Feng Shui? That is the question

May 21, 2008

3 months ago, I was living my routine life in Paris. For several reasons, I wanted to pursuing an MBA… in Seattle WA. Why Seattle? I still don’t know what brought me here, the Universe has its own secrets. But, for sure, when He informs me, I will post you.

Anyhow, I applied to a school and while my application and my visa were processed, I decided to practice Feng Shui. Yeah the Universe seems to be deaf sometimes, and I thought why not sending Him more obvious signs of my deepest desires and ambition. If my thoughts are unclear and confused, pictures would be effective messages.

In traditional Feng Shui the SE angle of the bedroom is said to contains the world travel energies. So, when we want to travel, either on a tourist trip or an a business trip, we may put a picture of the place we want to visit on this corner of our bedroom.

So I printed this Microsoft Redmond campus air photo and sticked it in my bedroom on the SE corner. I also put my MBA application and my visa application in the same corner. And I waited. It didn’t really stopped me worrying, but it did helped me to be more confident about the results. I knew from now that I will shortly start a new life cycle in Seattle-Bellevue. But I didn’t know that, when few months later I moved in Seattle to start my MBA program, I would found a house located right next to Microsoft Campus in Redmond.

When I hang out in the neighborhood, on 148th Av NE, with my friend Sanjeev, or when I visit his office at Microsoft, I greatfully remember the SE corner of my bedroom in Paris and thank the Universe.
