Feng Shui & Professor Lin Yun -- Old Westbury Long Island New York

Grandmaster Professor Lin Yun has had many accomplishments in his life. I still consider his finest to be bringing the Black Sect Method of Feng Shui to the United States in 1984, long before almost anyone here had ever HEARD of Feng Shui.

Studying since the age of six years old, Professor Lin Yun has had a long and inspiring career. He opened our Eyes to possibilities we had never dreamed of and took a subject no one was familiar with that today has become so popular and is now such a strong belief among so many people.

He taught us how to live in Harmony with Nature and create harmony and balance in our surroundings. The Black Sect Blessings and Space Clearings that are so powerful came from him and his teachings as well. From homes and apartments to large businesses and corporations, as a New York Feng Shui Consultant I am called quite often for the Blessing and Clearing of a space.

To the Chinese and many other countless people all over the World, "Chinese" Feng Shui is not a Superstition--it is a widely held Belief.

He has also taught extensively all over the World. Most notably in the United States he has presented Feng Shui at Harvard, Princeton, MIT, The UN, Yale, John Hopkins and The Library of Congress to name a few prestigious places.

"Interior Design with Feng Shui" was published in 1984. This book was written by Sarah Rossbach who had studied under Professor LinYun as one of his first students. The book was popular here with like minded people and following her second book "In Living Color" there became a great interest in the United States in Feng Shui.

Getting ready for a Blessing.

Professor Lin Yun's Monastery is located in Berkeley California and his second one is located in Old Westbury Long Island New York. Having received my Certification in Feng Shui Studies from the very first licensed and accredited school for Feng Shui Studies in it's first graduating class, we had a variety of Progressive and Well Known and respected Masters from around the World to teach us the Different Methods of Feng Shui.

RED is the Auspicious Color of Feng Shui and represents the Energy of FIRE.

It included The Form School, Black Sect, The Compass Method, Classical Feng Shui, Western Methods and more to be able to best choose the methods we felt would help each and every client.

Professor Lin Yun is on the Right. With him Vastu or Vastu Shastra (Indian form of Feng Shui) Master.

I graduated in 1997 at The Lin Yun Temple in Old Westbury Long Island New York. These pictures were taken on my 10^th anniversary as a Feng Shui Consultant.

Difficult to see but that's me...10 years after becoming a Certified Feng Shui Consultant.

The Original NATHAN’S in Coney Island Brooklyn New York

Is Nathan’s in Coney Island Brooklyn really world famous as the sign proclaims? Or do I just believe it because I’ve grown up in New York and am used to seeing the Hot Dog eating contests every year?

To many of us in New York, Nathan’s Hot Dogs ARE famous. And this is a landmark building. While growing up on Long Island, extra special times always called for a trip to Coney Island NY. Nathan’s was always a stop on that list.

Much of Coney Island in Brooklyn NY will be gone after this year. Although Nathan’s will remain, other landmark places will be torn down. It’s a shame, losing more of New York History that we should try to preserve.

And I can’t help but think about Hot Dogs without remembering Bruce Bourgault. This picture is for him.

September 11^th 2001 -- The Day the World Stood Still

I don't revisit Ground Zero-It is too difficult for me and too sad. One devastating day that changed ourselves and our world forever.

Trinity Church seen in the Background

These pictures are from last year and show Downtown Manhattan and some photos of St. Paul's Church which is located on Broadway, directly across from Ground Zero. It is nothing short of a miracle that this church remains and is said to have been protected by a huge Sycamore tree that sheltered it from the falling debri.

It also survived the Great Fire of Downtown New York in 1776. It was the Church that George Washington prayed in on April 30, 1789 after his presidential inauguration and is the oldest operating church in Manhattan.

It became a refuge for those that stationed themselves at Ground Zero after the attack to help New Yorkers. It was a time that the Country pulled together in ways I have never seen.

Tomorrow, September 11, 2009, is a day filled with sorrow as we all remember. They will read the names of the over 3,000 people that perished in a makeshift memorial on the Sacred Ground where the Twin Towers stood.

Many of these gravesites are 200 years old.

The Makeshift Memorial. Some items have been saved and remain in the Church.

Bell of Hope.

Before you go to bed tonight, please pray for all of those who perished that day. Please pray for their families and loved ones left behind. Please pray for those that have passed and become ill from coming in to give their assistance at their own risk of life. And please pray for those still so traumatized by the attacks they have left New York City but have not been able to return to leading a normal life.

Special Sunsets in Provincetown, MA by Feng Shui New Long Island & New York

Outside in Provincetown, MA you can watch some of the most spectacular sunsets I have ever seen. It's a time there where the day slows down and people stop to watch the beauty of another day coming to an end.

For many it is also a time for preparing for the nightlife there...of which there is a wonderful assortment of things to do. Lily Tomlin was there for a show during our stay.

We saw several artists capturing the beauty with all different medias from pastels to oils. Each one truly was a work of art....almost as much as nature itself.

New York Feng Shui Consultants in Provincetown, MA: PTown Welcomes You!

We are both Feng Shui Consultants in New York and love to work all over the State. It was time for a getaway, however. I thought I would share some lovely photos of Provincetown, Massachusetts but couldn't decide which ones; there are SO many.

Your Own Private Beach...and BLUE Water in Cape Cod

We decided to stay in N. Truro at the East Harbou

r Motel and Cottages. They are right on a private beach and along the Shuttle route to Provincetown. I have to say after staying there I'd be back in a heartbeat, not only for the absolutely beautiful surroundings and accommodations but also because the people who ran it were WONDERFUL.

Your rooms had everything you could possibly need and you couldn't choose a better location. Just when I thought Customer Service had died, I met the lovely woman who runs this place. I'll be back next year-book early!

One of the beautiful cottages.

We couldn't have met a nicer woman during our stay at The East Harbour Motel and Cottages in N. Truro, MA.

So here are the first of a few posts about New York Feng Shui Consultants in Cape Cod. As much as we love New York, the Cape is a wonderful place to go for fun, energy and a respite.

Commercial Street spans almost 4 miles and allows for parking, cars and LOTS of pedestrians. We noticed a complete absence of car honking. We walked from one end to the other and didn't hear it once. We did hear laughter, music and kindness in people's voices.

One thing I DID notice about Provincetown: People are friendly and often stopped to speak to Laura and I. When they asked what we did and we said Feng Shui, there was not one person who didn't know exactly what it was. In fact, many of them practiced it themselves!
