Empty Vessels = Empty Pockets

What you see on an everyday basis you become! Neuro-architecture is about how your space and objects affect you on an unconscious level. Your world is run by your unconscious. Isn’t time for you to do something about this?

If you’ve got an empty fish tank, or have decorative vases sitting out in your home, it’s time to change that. Having empty vessels or containers in your home conditions you to a type of poverty consciousness that will actively undermine your attempts to attract wealth and well-being.

If you have empty things in your home that you wish to keep there, consider filling them with something positive.

 For example, if you have decorative vases in your home, you can  commit to keeping fresh flowers or greenery, or you might consider filling them with polished sea stones and having decorative feathers/art/silk flowers for adornment. These are all symbols of wealth, and prosperity.

You can also put them away ! Place them in cupboards or pack them away until you are ready to fill them with something amazing!!

Change Your Space, Activate Your Brain !

Whatever is going on with you on an emotional level will show up in the interiors of your home. If you are depressed, curtains are drawn, clutter is abundant, and the smell of stall air will be prominent.

Using the art and science of neuro-architecture, you can create a shift in your emotions and in your life. Awareness is the key, and knowing the actions to take can put in on the road to recovery in a matter of minutes.

What is Neuro-Architecture ? According to The Academy of Neuroscience for Architecture. ( ANFA ) it is  how we humans respond to our built environments. The information has been around for decades ( Since the 1950′s ) and the Asian culture has been using the information for centuries known as the Art of Placement; Feng Shui.

Staging The Master Bedroom

May is the start of home buying season. Even in this economy people are buying and selling . The three most important deal breakers when it comes to selling a home is the Kitchen, the bath, and the Master Bedroom.

If you master the key components of Neuro-Architecture, selling a house becomes easy and effortless. Of course a great Real Estate Agent is helpful.

We spend 1/3 of our life sleeping. This is why staging the Master Bedroom is considered a deal breaker when it comes to selling a home. How you make the buyer feel when they enter the bedroom will determine if they are buying or just looking. Remember we buy with our eyes, and sell with our mouth.

Neuro- Architecture plays a key role in how people will feel in the house. New buyers need to feel they can imagine themselves in the space. They also need to know the space can accommodate their belongings as well.

Less is more when it comes to Neuro-Architecture, creating a Zen like atmosphere will make the buyer believe the space is much larger than it actually is. Neuro-Architecture concentrates on how a person feels in a space, and the behaviours people exhibit based on how they feel.
