Pyramid feng shui is a rational, scientifically based approach to how place affects the human condition.
Ever wonder if people are focusing in on what you are saying? Or worst yet, do you notice eyes drifting away or morphing into that blank stare that indicates that your words are not penetrating into their brains? If the answer is ever yes then reading how using feng shui principles to reduce lack of focus will help to reduce if not eliminates mental wanderings and drains focus.
When you want others to listen to you:
Do not sit in front of a daytime window for attention will be dissipated. Biologically the eye is drawn to light. Thus, try to have a light on you since the eye naturally gravitates and remains on the most lit area of a room.
- Place yourself facing the entrance of a room since open doors or passageways offer another biological seduction, distance. Yes, in any space with edges (walls) the eye seeks the furthest distance.
- Be careful that there is nothing moving within a three foot area surrounding you. Again the eye is geared toward paying attention to movement.
Be sure that what you have to say includes actually or visually “doing”. Even ideas that seem to have nothing to do with personal involvement can be conjured up with a call to action. An example might be to vote for my candidate because…and then you can evoke a picture of going to the headquarters and getting a free bumper sticker. Included in all the necessities of staying alive are physical actions, thus as all teachers know some of us learn best kinesthetically.
- Mitigate any discomfort with color. For example if you are in a crowded space evoke white or the rejection of all colors. In a cold space evoke warm colors to counterbalance discomfort. It could be as innocuous as mentioning that my candidate gave a speech dressed in a clean, white shirt, or did you know that my candidate has more blue ties than any other color.
- If your audience is at a distance of over 40 feet be sure to wear a strong diagonal line or colors with long lengths like red or orange. A suit jacket with a cut away neckline is often all the diagonal line you need or a tie with a diagonal stripe. Again the eye seeks diagonal lines before right angled ones.
So while this may not seem like rocket science, if you do these things, you will discover that people are more likely to focus on what you are saying. And who doesn’t like to be heard?
