Feng Shui and Community Service Part l

Feng Shui or not, giving back to your community is always rewarding.

Surprisingly I have been inspired by some kind souls in the media who had severe disadvantages in life and were still able to give.

What I gained most from their stories is hope. You realize that there really are no excuses not to give.

Those who were unable still prayed for the day that they could help those who needed it most.

Eventually their prayers were answered and when they were back on there feet they were back in action...giving.

How can you correlate Feng Shui and being involved with community service?

There are three ways to give:

New or used items, time and cash.

When you give your items to those in need you do a number of things:

-you un-clutter your home of items that are no longer of use to your household
-your usable items are given or sold to those in need for free or at a reasonable price
-you recycle
-you bring quality of life to someone including your own

Talk about quadrupedal Qi points! That is putting your used items to good use!

Think about what giving your time does:

-gives hope to others and shows that they are not alone and that the community does care
-you network with others who like to give their time too--who knows either one of you may be of good use to other causes you know about
-eases the expense of having to hire man power, money that could be put to better use to serve
-you may gain a new skill or reference that you can put to good use later i.e.; organizational and leadership skills or learning a new trade
-gives you a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction
-inspires others to volunteer
-you increase the quality of life for someone as well as your own

Your positive energy goes out to others in order for them to create positive energy. In turn they can pass it on!

When you donate money:

-you take care of some of the cost for paper products either to get the word out or for collecting more cash donations. Some good examples are: mailing items like envelopes, paper, postage and printer ink and other office supplies
-not everyone can volunteer all the time. cash donations also go to those who make a living organizing and managing offices specifically for serving the community
-goes strait to the programs and people in need for supplies, food, shelter
-you boost someones quality of life and your own

When you give prosperity you receive prosperity maybe not in the form of money but in other ways to make you feel wealthy. Wealthy in energy. Wealthy in spirit and you make others feel the same way too.
