Don't underestimate the power of small things.
Take bells, for example.
They carry a powerful energy and have many uses.
I was using them in a prior business
before I understood their magic.

My first entrepreneurial business was making jewelry. In 2005 I quit my last insurance claims job (I'd been in claims for almost 17 years!) to focus full time on making hand-crafted beaded jewelry. I had a lot of fun doing that though it wasn't very lucrative. So, in early 2009, when
there was a big economic downturn, I began buying gold as a contractor with GoldSwap.
💰
Talk about a fun business! I was trained to evaluate jewelry and other items and was
able to determine if it was real gold (or silver) and what karat it was. We purchased jewelry from individuals at home parties and paid them cash for old stuff that was just sitting in their jewelry boxes. We were able to pay more than other gold buyers because we didn't have the overhead of a retail space. And the ladies loved getting cash for their items!
💰
I usually had an assistant with me so we could work on evaluating 2 people's jewelry at once. When we had finished determining what was real gold and returning any "souvenirs" we tallied up the total cash offer. As we shared the total with the guest, we would ring a bell to
celebrate!

What I didn't know at the time was that ringing bells also helps bring clarity and make decisions. So, ringing that bell was not only fun, but it allowed our guests to feel clear about whether they wanted to sell the items
to us or not. There were many times when the ladies would be in tears because they really needed the money. I recall one woman sharing that her husband had been laid off for awhile and that this money would buy groceries for them for this month. It was heartwarming to be able to help in this way. And the hostesses benefitted too as we paid them 10% of the total party payout in cash.
In Feng Shui, we bells represent movement and also have a calling or attraction energy. Further, they can be used for protection and decision making, as I mentioned above. Brass bells are recommended because they are a high-quality metal, and you must personally like the sound of the bell if it
is something that you are using within your home or office.
Bells are used as Feng Shui cures for:
- Clearing the energy in spaces
- Protection and a feeling of safety in a strange place
- Brrringing in opportunities
- Calling in more clients
- And so much more!
I'll be sharing more about BELLS and Fueling Your Feng Shui with Physical Objects in my live talk on Thursday, April 18th at 3pm EST during the IFSG Virtual Feng Shui
Conference (check out the lineup of other speakers below!)
I'm also part of the London School of Feng Shui's Summit happening next weekend and my topic is A Fresh Start for Your Heart (relationship recovery, revival and attraction). Listen in live on Saturday, April 20th @ 2pm EST. (deets below!)
