‘Visualize to Materialize.’
That was the clear and elated message I heard in my head as soon as I walked into a women’s networking lunch in Houston in the Fall of 2018. The restaurant was buzzing with women talking, laughing, and exchanging contact information. It was a lively atmosphere and I was ready to mingle.
I had just started getting out of the house after 18 months of “sabbatical.” I was recovering from an intense Hepatitis-C medical treatment, revitalizing my energy, and nurturing my body back to good health.
At that networking lunch, I met mixed media artist, Nicole Bray. What attracted me to her was the artwork she presented as she introduced herself. She was promoting vision board workshops. I thought it was a clever idea. I had not seen a captivating and balanced vision board rendered as a piece of art.
The visual message was laid out neatly, clearly showing creative ability, and attention to detail. I approached Nicole, smiling big, and blurted, ‘This is a fab idea for a Feng Shui vision board workshop!’
Nicole smiled back and expressed that even though she had heard of Feng Shui, she never worked with it. I told her that designing a vision board using Feng Shui principles would be the perfect opportunity to learn the fundamentals and apply its method in a practical, creative and purposeful way. She was intrigued. We sat together and right before dessert was served, we agreed to plan a workshop. I was ecstatic about it, and even more so to create my own 2019 Feng Shui vision board.
Feng Shui is about energy flow, balance, transformation, and connection. It’s a design system used to pinpoint all the various aspects of life by harmonizing energy in the areas that impact them.
It may not be obvious at first, but everything that you experience in life is represented and mirrored back in your environment. Feng Shui is handy as it organizes and links all the areas of your life in an energetic grid, called the Bagua map.
The Bagua translates to eight trigrams and is utilized to identify nine sectors, each corresponding to a specific theme. At the center of the Bagua is Health. All other areas are energetically distributed to Health, which correlates to the “Overall Health” or “Overall Vibration” of the space.
Feng Shui brings everything to the surface and acts as an energy conductor, helping to see patterns while connecting the dots in an organized, intrinsic way.
Imagine your key life areas in your own artist canvas.

Where to begin?
You can start by focusing on your annual goals and organizing them on a Feng Shui vision board!
Feng Shui will help you clarify your dreams and intentions in a balanced and energetically-aligned way.
When you design with purpose, there’s a powerful force that’s put into place. When you lay out your vision using the ancient art of Feng Shui, mindful placement, numerology, and “environmental science” reinforce it.
Numerology is the study of the frequency of numbers, the relationships between numbers, letters, and patterns, and their energetic influence in life. For example, one of the fundamental theories applied in the Bagua is the Magic Square. The numbers in every square combination add up to 15. Reduce 15 to a single digit: 1+5 = 6. Six symbolizes New Beginnings and Love.
In the diagram below, 5 is placed in the center of the Bagua, which corresponds to Overall Health. Five symbolizes Dynamic Change and Vital Energy.
Environmental science relates to the 5 Elements. The 5 Elements is a system of building blocks of everything in the Universe that can help support a well-balanced life. Each living matter is composed of the 5 Elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water.
The cycles indicate how these phases transform from one to the other, such as the change of seasons:
When I created my 2019 vision, my dream was to offer my knowledge and wisdom of Feng Shui and energy-balancing modalities with open and aligned audiences. I envisioned myself in front of hundreds of people, traveling around the world sharing my story, experiences, and practical ways to shift and transform energy that contribute to achieving optimal health, and sustaining a harmonious environment.
Two weeks after creating my Feng Shui vision board, I was invited to be a speaker at the Houston Vegan Society of Peace to present an evocative and enlightening topic, Living in Harmony: A practical, compassionate way of sustaining a balanced lifestyle. It was astonishing to experience my dream come true in such a short time, and that was just the beginning.
When I organized my vision board, I concentrated on my creative expression, transmitting my voice, as well as being recognized in social centers. I’ve been an avid contributor and guide of high-vibrational and harmonious living since.
Patsy's 2019 Feng Shui vision board:
Bringing more harmony into people’s lives and spaces is my happy center. I’m a dedicated and gracious Feng Shui practitioner. I live by it. This practice has helped me shift my energy and continues to support the emotional, spiritual, and physical aspects of my life and the lives of many individuals that I’ve worked with for over two decades.
