I was making my breakfast this morning when I looked at the refrigerator and saw the picture I had taken of my wife standing with Yo-Yo Ma, one of the greatest cellists in the world. I took the picture maybe a month ago when we went to see him play a concert with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Many people would love to meet him but never get a chance to. We just happened to be standing in the right spot at the right moment and he walked right to us. My wife loves this picture as she, herself, aspires to be as great a cellist as he is some day. The law of attraction can be used to bring into our lives anything we want, such as success in our career.
I then took my breakfast into our living room, where we have a music rug. It occurred to me that we do not have a formal place for my wife to practice by herself or with her string quartet, Col’ Areo, and to tutor her students. She usually does everything in the large room in the back of the house. There are major differences between the two rooms. The living room has a hardwood floor and so has excellent acoustics. The back room has a rug and drop ceiling so the sound gets lost. The back room looks like something from 1970 whereas the living room looks fairly modern. Plus the living room already has the music rug.
One thing that we learn from Feng Shui is that our environment affects the flow of energy around us. Similar to the philosoply behind the law of attraction, setting up a room for a specific purpose and decorating it with stuff that inspires us can be quite beneficial. I suggested to my wife that we have the picture of her with Yo-Yo Ma blown up, framed, and put on the wall in the living room. We can place her special cello chair and the cello on its stand in the corner of the room. We also have an advertisement for the first Col’ Areo String Quartet concert in the room. When people come to practice, they can do so right in the room and almost everything around them pertains to music and success.
We also have a sort of bookshelf that my wife bought but now does not care for so much. She will be happy to learn that it will be leaving the room to make space for the cello corner. Here is a picture of the living room right now. We have not added the picture of Yo-Yo Ma or the cello corner yet, but I'm sure you can imagine what a difference it will make. The cello corner will replace the bookshelf in the bottom picture.
