About Today’s Show

Hi Marie, and welcome to the show. Thank you so much for being here. 

Thank you so much for having me, Orion. It’s lovely to be here. 

Thank you. I appreciate you so much. I appreciate your wisdom. I love your work. Before we get into Feng Shui and all the good stuff you have to share, I’m curious: what were the hardest moments in your life, and how did you break through?

Well, on the journey as a transformational teacher, you always have transformational moments. I don’t see them so much as hard moments anymore when you look back at it. But at that moment itself, I think the first one was after I had a near-death experience. I was run over by a truck at 15. For about two years, my health was really not in a good place. First of all, after the accident, all the skin on my face was gone. They wanted to do plastic surgery. Ultimately, they decided not to do it because my skin returned. I was doing healing work on myself. I had never done that before. 

Still, there were several years that my brain was not functioning well because of the impact of the fall that I had. And so, going from a straight A student to a straight F student, I have to be honest, that was, at that time, very hard. Losing my friends and so on was very hard. If I look back at my life, the most difficult times were, I would say, health-related. I almost lost my kidneys at 23 years old. I had a total kidney failure. We recuperated things like this, which was very difficult for me because I could not move forward. There were a few times that I felt like I didn’t know if I had a normal life in the future, but with a lot of beautiful, loving and healing energy, I got through it. 

Of course, in any profession, there are always tough times, especially when going from being a lawyer, where you got fully paid, to starting a process of speaking and coaching people, and starting a new business from scratch. This is always tough for everybody, especially if there’s no savings or family money included. I would say, yes, there have been many difficult times, but right now I look back at them and I’m so grateful for each one of them, because they brought me where I am now. I’m grateful for it at that moment. Of course, it’s hard to go through, but afterwards, it’s important to be grateful for them.

I understand what you’re saying. I had really difficult times in my life. Looking back, I call it ‘a gift with a bow on the bottom.’ When you get it, it doesn’t seem like a gift at all, just a big pain. But then years later, you look back and you’re like, “Wow, I understand now this was a gift.” What do you think was the gift of your near-death experience and losing your capacity to think?

For me, the greatest gift was, first of all, that I understood that I had healing power in myself. I mean literally, when my mother came to me and said, “They want to do plastic surgery because your face is gone.” I said no to it, and she trusted that. I don’t know why, but she trusted in that moment. I was feeling this energy in my hands, and I started putting my hands on my face, and a few weeks later, I had normal skin. Just seeing that was a really big shift for me. 

The second part was that I could not use my logical brain anymore. I had problems with memory, both short-term and long-term, and so I remember that there’s a part of me that can still recall things, but I’ve lost the ability to access it. I went deeper into learning about meditation. I was already meditating and praying since I was seven, every day and intensely. But this time, I really received some techniques on how to connect with my full brain. This is how I started really learning. I would just read something, and then I would meditate about it, and then I would be like, “Okay, my normal brain doesn’t get it.” I asked my brain, my soul, my spirit, and God to remember it for me. 

Then I would go to exams, and I would go into meditation. I was like, “Okay, please come forward with the information.” I started writing. To be honest, I was writing answers, but as I read them, I didn’t understand them very well because I couldn’t recall them with my legitimate brain. Apparently, it was good enough to get through the exam as a lawyer. I had to learn to use other parts of my brain. What I learned, I think, was my greatest gift. Because of that, my channel of intuition became stronger because that’s what I did. I was just intuitive.

If you can forgive the person who has harmed you the most in life, it can be a powerful step towards healing; your life shifts in a positive direction.

When I see you online and watch your videos, I think I was at the Mindvalley event in Miami where you spoke. I’m like, “She’s so compassionate.” There is this love energy that emanates from you. Do you think it’s because of what you’ve been through? Do you think it’s because of the near-death experience or just who you are?

As a child, I had a lot of loving energy for my family and friends, but I would definitely say that this experience shaped me. What happened when I was 25 shaped me more. My father died when I was 25. My father had a narcissistic personality. He also came back from World War II with a lot of traumatic experiences as a soldier, so he definitely had some disorders due to stress from that experience. It was very hard growing up with him—a lot of physical, emotional, and mental abuse he left. 

I was very aware of the last seven days of his near dying, that I needed to be able to forgive him, and I needed to be able to say to him. I went through a huge, deep process in myself for seven days, like finding a way in my heart to forgive him. The night before he died, I was able to forgive him. But I found out that it was not only I that he abused, but also my siblings. I found out the weeks before he died that he was also a sexual predator, that he had abused some of my girlfriends. I got a lot of information over the last weeks before he died, and then I was like, “I need to be able to forgive him in my name, in the name of everyone that he abused in some way.” 

I told him that before he passed on. I will never forget how his face—because he had cancer and he was in huge pain—became calm, beautiful, and shining. It was like his soul was speaking to me. I think that the experience of allowing my father to live in peace with somebody forgiving him for what he had done in that lifetime was my big turning point in being loving and compassionate. 

I think that if you can forgive the person who has harmed you the most in life, it can be a powerful step towards healing. Your life really shifts. I’ve never met someone who hurt me as much in my life, and I was like, “They’re forgiven. I will learn my lesson from it. I hope they learn their lesson from the experience, but I will forgive them.” I think that without that experience, I wouldn’t have become the teacher and speaker that I am right now.

Wow, that’s amazing. Thank you for sharing that so vulnerably. That’s not an easy story to share.

Yeah, it’s an interesting experience, and I do understand if people cannot forgive, but I always tell them, just say to yourself, “I’m willing that in the future, I will be able to forgive the person that harmed me,” or to at least say to yourself, “I am able to forgive myself for holding on to the pain.” There are two things that you need to let go of. That’s definitely a difficult situation, and it’s not easy for everyone. It’s not even sometimes possible for everyone, but I hope at least you can forgive yourself for holding on to that pain for all these years. I know if I had held on to that pain till now, for example, I would not have been who I am.

The magnificent teacher that you are helping so many people around the world, changing lives every day. A big light, letting your light shine on mega volts.

That’s so crucial for everyone. 

Wow. Well, thank you so much. I was truly touched. I can feel you when you hear somebody else’s story. You can think about your life, and I’m looking at my life and what I’ve been through and my journey of forgiveness, and I’m like, “I totally get you.”

The greatest teachers are learners; those who thrive and have a greater impact are continually learning about the steps they take.

But what you did was incredible. You teach Feng Shui. What are the things that you are most interested in learning? Are you still learning? Are you still acquiring more information? Or for you, it’s just like an intuitive channeling.

One of the things I do believe is that when you are a teacher at heart, you’re also an eternal learner. For me, learning is part of my daily routine. I’m learning about energy, but I also run a business, so right now, it’s all about AI—how to implement AI into my company, and learning about the next steps of impact. How can I reach more people? It’s always an internal learning, and also learning every day from the lessons the universe gives you. There’s something you’re thinking, “Oh, okay, that’s a lesson for me. What can I learn from that?” 

I believe the greatest teachers are learners, and I’ve seen this firsthand, not just in Mind Valley, but also in many amazing masterminds of beautiful teachers and speakers. The ones that thrive and have a greater and greater impact are learning about the steps. Last year, I was eager to learn everything about Instagram, and now my Instagram is doing really well. Now it’s like, “Okay, this is a year for AI to really implement it in every corner of our company.” I’m a little bit of a geek at heart. I love it. I was already learning to program when I was 20 years old. 

I love all the technical, and I have to be honest, I can actually get into all the software systems that I use in my company, and I can go in and know more than the basics. I love that part of it, because I want to understand, and a lot of people need to be more open, sometimes, to learn more. That’s why I love that you have this beautiful podcast, Orion, because this is how people right now learn, not through the typical reading of books anymore, but by listening to interviews of teachers, speakers, authors, and CEOs. 

They learn because they hear people share, and of course, from there, they get inspired, perhaps to go deeper into a certain subject. But that is just amazing. I do believe podcasts are the new way of sharing information and knowledge.

Well, thank you. I feel that way because when I started, my husband was the one who pushed me. I was thinking, “No, with my accent and my English, no one is gonna listen to me,” and he kind of pushed me. It’s been 10 years now. I’m like, “Oh, my God, I’ve been speaking to people that used to be on my vision board.” This is pretty amazing. Super cool.

That is super cool, but it also means that you have seen that manifestation does work, right? You are bringing people in, and already your soul, your spirit, the God within you, is connecting with the journey that you were going to unfold. That’s why you put these images up on your vision board, because there was already a glimpse of that future that was going to unfold for you. 

I think you were on my vision board, too. I’m not sure I have to look. It’s been a long time, but yeah, that’s amazing. You do a lot with Feng Shui, for people who don’t know, maybe just a brief explanation on what Feng Shui is. Then, I want to know, how do you feel you had a breakthrough in your own personal life because of Feng Shui?

First of all, Feng Shui is a Chinese energy system that people can compare with acupuncture, tai chi, and qigong. There are two parts that always come back in these energy systems, and those are to work with the wind and the water. The wind is the bread, and the water stands for the movement. It’s also about finding places, not just on your body, like acupuncture, but also in your home where you feel the chi or energy is stuck. By placing certain things as colors, positioning yourself, and putting certain objects around you, you can support yourself better and create more flow and movement. 

This energy system has been around for thousands of years, and when I first learned about it, I was 15. There were no books, even in my language or no teachers that I could connect with. Somebody gave me some basic principles, and I just kept using them until I was 31, when I really started practicing and studying them with international grand masters. I’m a fully trained Chinese master, so that means I really practice the classical information. But I found a way, as a Western woman. I’m a guest in the culture, as we would say, but I have this way of bringing dots together. I brought this traditional Chinese Feng Shui together with manifestation and the law of attraction.

As some of you may recall, I was featured as one of the master teachers in the movie and book The Secret, discussing how to integrate it with brain waves. I started seeing how it affects your energy and your mindset, and that’s how I started really implementing it and sharing it with people, so to understand people that are into a positive mindset, people that are into energy changes, people that are into spirituality, to understand how the environment is really affecting them. 

For me, I would say that what I changed in my life is that when I was 15, I didn’t have many friends. I was very bullied at school. Like I said, my relationship with my father was very traumatic, and so after putting the basic principles in, the bullies became my friends. My relationship with my father over the last 10 years of my life was definitely 50% better. That was a lesson. Sometimes, it was very strange to experience. 

But also when I practiced this as a lawyer, the career I did in five years was just like from starting at a company to being on top in five years, and then using these principles, I know that I would not have reached millions of people. I would never have been in The Secret or on Mindvalley if I hadn’t applied these principles to deepen my spirituality and enhance my positive mindset. That is how I feel. Aligning your space, your home, with your mindset and with your soul, spirit, and energy is crucial to manifest faster and easier. 

Wow. You know what I did just before our podcast? I just took the mirror out of my bedroom because I was still watching more videos. I’m like, “What is she talking about currently?” Then, you were on one podcast, and you talked about mirrors in the bedroom. I was like, “Okay, this is going on. I have an interview in five minutes. Let me take this mirror up.” 

I’m happy you took action. For people who wonder, what does that do? A mirror is a reflection. Even when you’re in bed, asleep, it still reflects your surroundings. Research has shown that sleeping with a mirror in your bed can lead to increased inflammation, higher blood pressure, and sometimes weight gain that’s harder to lose, as well as feelings of restlessness. They don’t sleep so well, they don’t sleep so deeply. 

Also on the romantic level, if you’re by yourself, the mirror reflects you double. It’s like, well, you already are with somebody in the room, or you’re with two people. You’re actually doubling your relationship. What can attract more partners in your relationship? It’s not a good thing. But first of all, I would say 80% of the people will tell me that they sleep much better after they take the mirror out.

I’ll let you know tomorrow. That’s amazing. Thank you. I’m here in the temporary place because we moved from the States to Israel. This is a temporarily furnished house. It’s got lots of books that are not my type of books—got a lot of pictures that are not my type of pictures. But it’s here. I can’t really change it. If you have photos you don’t like, just take them down and put them in the closet. Does that still work?

Yes, it’s what we always say. What you don’t see is not affecting you. Your home is like a vision board. You have made vision boards, but think of your home as a three-dimensional vision board. The moment you stay longer than nine days in a space, you will have been affected by anything that is there. I’ve been in Airbnb and temporary houses, because I travel a lot. I always first of all look to see if there are images in my personal direction that will affect me. What is the personal direction? You can all download my free Marie Diamond app. 

The moment you stay longer than nine days in a space, you will have been affected by anything that is there.

You just go to the stores and put in ‘Marie Diamond,’ and there you will be asked to put in your birthday and gender. It’s not typical numerology, so don’t think, “Oh, it’s a different number diamond numerology.” It will give you a number between one and nine, minus five. But what is important is your diamond compass. You have a diamond compass, and it will indicate four directions: success, relationship, health, wisdom, which are good for you and four that are empty. The four directions are good for you. That’s where there’s a lot of good flow for you, flow for success and money, flow for relationships. The empty ones have no flow. There’s just stagnant energy. 

What you need to do is in your temporary house, or any house that you’re living in right now, is hold the compass like on the level of your heart, and stand in the center of the rooms that you’re spending a lot of time, bedroom, dining room, work, room, office, and living room. You hold your compass there and see what is, first of all, in your direction. In my success direction, you actually can see what’s in my success direction because it’s behind me. You literally see my two latest books. Your home is a vision board, and Feng Shui your life. You won’t see it, perhaps, but there are some awards here. There’s this front cover.

I love the crown.

I find it very interesting. Since I placed that there, people started calling me the queen of Feng Shui. I was like, “Oh, that’s interesting.” I don’t say that, but they called me like this. The first thing is, what are the images? What is in your success action? If there’s anything cluttered, you declutter it. When there’s an image there to say, “Well, it’s not really reflecting who I am, or it doesn’t reflect who I want to be in the future, then take this out.” For example, it could be a certificate. It could be a picture of your family. It can be something when you look at yourself, like, “Oh, I feel great.” But perhaps, as there are many books in your temporary space.

Oh my gosh, so many, and I don’t like any of them.

Okay, so let’s say there are books on success or leadership. Then you can buy a few books yourself, and you put them in your success direction. For example, here’s The Secret because I’m part of it. I’ve learned the success principles. I have a few books there of my clients’ best-selling books. I just put some images there, something that reflects your vision, or even your vision board. You can literally get an index card, write down your goals, and stick it there. I just do that. To be honest, when I go to a hotel room, I always have Post-it Notes with me, and I just write my goals for that time. For example, I was in Dubai from Mindvalley. I wrote all my goals. I put it in my success direction. I always have a copy of my vision board with me, in a smaller format, and I put it in my success direction, wherever I am. 

That is so brilliant, because I was always thinking, “How do you find a way?” I’m like, “Okay, this is my temporary home,” and now I’m punctuating it. But what do you do when you are just in Airbnb? What do you do when you’re in a hotel? This is brilliant because I used your app on my previous house, but here I was like, “That’s not my place. Why would I even try to change anything?”

Once you need to, because after nine days, that house is already influencing you. Now, if the books you don’t like are in your empty directions, they won’t really affect you. They will affect you, like within a year or something, but very, very slowly, but you’re always on your personal energy number first of all, and that’s what I do. I have my relationship direction, which is West for me. For you, I don’t know which one it is. I always have a picture of my family with me. When I get business cards from people that I meet during my stay, I take these business cards and put them in my relationship direction of that hotel or Airbnb. 

Create a small travel kit so that wherever you are, you can take things with you that you like. I always have a folder with me with some images that I love, and I just put them there. It doesn’t have to be that complicated. It just needs to be a reminder for you, because your home gives you 33% of good luck all the time. Whatever you do with your mindset is 33%, whatever you do with your spiritual life is 33%, but what you do with your home affects you 33% so it is a lot. A house can really up level you and elevate you, but it can also get you stuck and stagnant.

When you share more details with the universe, the faster it manifests.

I feel like this place is getting me a little stuck. This interview is a perfect timing for me, because I didn’t know it’s gonna happen when it happened. I have to find us a home within two and a half weeks. I’ve been trying, struggling. I do feel like this home has stuck energy. What can I do to manifest my dream home this week?

The thing I would do is because when I tune into the home, it’s definitely a lot of stuck energy. A lot of people have lived there. I would love for you to take little cups, for example, where you drink coffee out and fill them with sea salt. Then, put them in the four corners of the house, so they absorb salt. It’s a very old system that our ancestors have used for thousands of years to absorb negative energy. If you don’t have the cups, simply take a handful of sea salt and throw it in all the corners. Leave it there for a couple of days, then vacuum it up so it will feel lighter. I would always suggest working with lavender. Take a lavender spray, for example, and start spraying lavender around you. Because when a home is heavy, and I can feel the home is heavy, your mind gets heavy, your heart gets heavy. It’s heavy to even focus on the future and create some positive energy.

I just washed the floors today with lavender and vinegar.

Perfect. That’s great. I love that. But also, spray and do that every day until you feel it’s lighter. Then, I would love for you to write down in detail what you want this house to be, and then hang it in your success direction. Hang it also in the direction of your husband. If that’s a different direction, I always make sure that I write in detail what I want from a house. Not just a price, but if you want to buy it or rent it. These people you’re connecting with, what are the good directions for me? How far is it from the airport? Because I want something close to the airport, at least half an hour away. I want green. I want good Feng Shui. 

Always start from the present and move forward to the future, including your vision board, journal, and goals, which can all be aligned with your success direction.

It’s like good energy. I will write it in detail. When you are saying to the universe more details, the faster it manifests. It’s like a shop. If you go to a shop and say, “Hey, I want a dress.” They’re like, “Oh, keep shopping.” But if I go and say, “I want size medium. I want a blue dress. I want long sleeves. I want polka dots on it.” The more details you give, the more the shop owners know the exact dress for you, and they give it to you very quickly. 

Even if you’re thinking, “Oh my god, I only have two and a half weeks.” I manifested so many houses. I have moved 40 times in my life. I always use that, but I always put it in my success direction. I sometimes manifest things overnight or within a week, very fast, because it’s very clear what I ask the universe and God.

Wow, thank you. I’ll do that as soon as we’re done, but we’re not done yet. I still have you here. There’s so much wisdom we need to learn. You talk about success corners for manifesting homes. Why don’t you take a little overview of a success corner, a relationship corner, and a little overview of what it is?

We have four good directions. Recall the four pillars of a good house. We also need to focus on success and abundance, success and money. Is your direction reflecting that? You need to check out what my success direction is, in my bedroom, in my living room, in my office, specifically in the space where you work, because that’s where you’re focused on your business and your career. What you can place there, of course, is a logo of your company or a logo of your podcast. In your case, you can place their books on leadership and success, your certificates, awards you have received, and anything else that inspires you. 

But also declutter the area. Make sure there’s nothing related to the old you, for example, in your success direction, if you have receipts and accountancy from a previous company or a previous job, remove that. You need to stay in the present. When you activate something, always think about, “Who am I now? Who do I want to be?” Always start from the present and move forward to the future, including your vision board, journal, and goals, which can all be aligned with your success direction. 

Then, we have the health direction. The health direction is, what can you place there? It could be your vitamins, books on healing, or your yoga mat – something that expresses what you want to do with your health. It’s not only physical health, it’s also your mental health. If you have clutter and chaos in your space, it will also impact your mental well-being. That’s the first thing to change. You can also add something color-wise, such as a green object, like a green crystal, for example, or a green candle. Green is always a color associated with healing. 

If you feel you are holding on to a lot of things, you can always put something in lilac there, because Lilac is a color associated with letting go of old energy. 

Your relationship direction varies for different rooms, as in your office, your relationship direction should focus on your professional relationships. Don’t put too many images of your family there. Who are you in a relationship with? I always say to people, “Think about where your clients are, or your clients in your country. Then, put a flag of your country or a symbol of that country.” I would say in a podcast, they are global. I would always have a little globe out in your success direction. 

I love it.

Green is a color often associated with healing, while lilac is a color for letting go.

I have that here. You don’t see it so well.

What is the golden behind you?

It’s actually a wealth ship. A wealth ship is a Chinese symbol for saying “wealth is flowing in.” I just put that out there as a Feng Shui. I thought it was beautiful energy. But it can also just be putting in your success direction like a pot of gold. I find a little and I fill it with all kinds of bars and money from all over the world. I have money flowing in from all over the world all the time. It’s just symbolically, but it’s an energetic shift that you create. 

Relationships in your bedroom, of course, are different than those in your office. There, you will focus on the relationship that you have right now. In your personal relationship direction, include a picture of you and your partner. If you have different relationship directions, display two pictures, one for each partner. And you can, of course, put pictures of you and your family, but I would rather keep that for the living room or the family room, because you don’t want your children or your mother-in-law to come into your bedroom all the time, right? Or your friends. Keep your bedroom very romantic.

If you don’t have a partner, look for images that represent partnership, such as two hearts, lovebirds, or two beautiful people walking. Avoid using water, though, especially in a bedroom, as it can dampen the passion. 

Any water image, take that out. Just find some beautiful images. For love, rose quartz or rose energy is very strong, so you can incorporate it into your relationship direction. Now, sometimes men will say, “Oh, I don’t like it so much.” Then they can use orange. That’s always a crystal of joyful energy for them. You can do that.

If you feel you’re lacking some passion, you can even add some reds. But don’t overdo reds. It could be like two red candles, because in romance, you have to work with pairs, like two Rose Quartz hearts, two red candles. By showing the pairs, you’re actually saying, “I am in a relationship,” and, as I said, don’t have mirrors reflecting your bed, or if you do, cover them at night by putting fabric over them. Even televisions are actually doubling the energy; they’re seen as mirrored surfaces. 

I heard you mention it on the television, and then I looked at the picture frames; the glass seems to reflect the room as well.

You have to see, sometimes it’s just a little piece. If it’s reflecting your body, then you have a problem. If it’s just a little frame on the wall, and when you look at it, you don’t really see yourself because it’s so small. Don’t worry so much about that.

But a big mirror, a big television, and sometimes people say, “I have windows and they’re reflective,” close the curtains so they’re no longer reflective. Then, in your living room, focus on your relationships with your family, children, grandchildren, and perhaps friends. 

You have to understand that everything around you is reacting like a vision board, as a message to your subconscious mind, pay attention to that.

Focus always on the different areas from a different perspective. Somebody told me, “My kids are always sleeping with me.” I look in her bedroom, and there are only images of her and her children; there’s no image of her partner. I said, “Why don’t you move these beautiful pictures to the living room?” She said, “It’s interesting. We never sit together in the living room.” As she changed that, she said, “It was very interesting. We all started sitting in the living room, and now my children were not sleeping with me anymore, and I put pictures of me and my partner, and we were much closer as a couple.” You have to understand that everything around you is reacting like a vision board, as a message to your subconscious mind, pay attention to that. 

That’s amazing. What do you need to put in a child’s room? Mine is five and a half. 

Oh, so beautiful. I would definitely activate his success direction by putting his name there, along with a picture of him in his success direction, but I would always update his picture. Don’t leave in a child’s room pictures of him when he was a baby, because then you’re saying, “I keep treating you as a baby.” Always update the pictures of that child in the relationship direction. You can include a picture of the child with their partners, family, parents, or even when they grow up and have children. If they attend school, you can also include the yearly school picture with the teacher, which can be used in the relationship direction. 

Try to avoid using too intense colors for a child. Sometimes, especially for boys, people do like cars, dinosaurs, and lions, and as I said, it’s too intense. Keep it calm. Avoid reds because it’s too much fire. Avoid blue. A lot of times, they put too much blues and the boys get a little too stagnant. Bring in warm earth colors like yellows, beiges, and browns. For the girls, pinks. For a boy, peaches are a very good color. Orange and white is also a good combination, as is gold and silver, which are metal colors, to brighten it up a little bit. 

But it needs to be a place where they can rest, where they can sleep easily. Make sure that any toys that are out there at night are put in a box that’s not see-through, that it’s covered, so that their mind is not connecting with all their toys when they go home.

What if the toys are on the shelves? 

Well, if they’re on the shelves, make sure they’re not where they sleep, because we’re not just a physical body, we’re an energy field. If that’s close to where they sleep, their subconscious mind, while they sleep, is connecting with it. Try to see which direction the shelf is. What are the toys you put in there? Is it in one of their good directions? It could really affect them, let’s say they put all the cars in the relationship direction. It’s not really the best thing to activate. 

That’s amazing. A lot to learn. How do you think it works with the quantum field and Feng Shui? I guess it affects our subconscious mind when we see the items where they’re supposed to be. But how does Feng Shui and the quantum field intertwine?

Feng Shui is the quantum physics of your environment. Everything has a wave of vibration.

Well, I do believe Feng Shui is what I call the quantum physics of your environment. Everything is energy, as you know, everything has a flow. Everything has a wave of vibration. But we sometimes think, because something is stagnant, or let’s say, a cup, that this has no energy, but because everything has a vibration, if it’s ceramic, if it’s a crystal, if it’s a plant, if it’s an image, even the painter of that image, he put a vibration in it. Perhaps he was angry, perhaps he was in love, perhaps he was frustrated. That reflects in that image, and we’re not always aware of it, but we somehow feel that, as if we go to the Mona Lisa. Millions of people visit the Louvre every year to see the Mona Lisa. 

I’m telling you, the painter who did the Mona Lisa was in love with this woman. Otherwise, we would not be coming. He would have painted that image out of frustration and anger. We would not have gone there with millions of people every year, because there was so much love invested in it that when we go there, something resonates with us. We don’t know what, but I was just there a few weeks ago, watching people watching it. I was like, “Okay, I’ve seen it like tens of times.” I was watching how people are just mesmerized by it. Well, what did Leonardo da Vinci put in it energetically so that we are mesmerized by it? 

We know that certain images really affect us. We go to a museum and we see a statue and it just really vibrates to the deepest part of our soul. We’re looking like, “Oh, my God. That hits home for me,” but we have to understand that everything is like this. Everything has a vibration. Even if we don’t see the vibration move, it still is there because of the creation of it, because of the material of it, where it’s placed. It all affects us, and so the Chinese Feng Shui masters over the thousands of years, of course, I would say, became more and more aware of everything, and knew how to play certain things in certain places. That is exactly what we’re doing with Feng Shui, and also understanding that it really shifts your brain race. 

Consider how you position yourself. The first step is always to put yourself in what I call ‘the power position.’

Consider, however, how you position yourself. The first step is always to put yourself in what I call ‘the power position.’ In every room, and I’m sitting here in this room, and I know you are here with me on the screen, but energetically, you need to walk through the door into my space. I always see people walking into my space. If my husband brings me a cup of tea, I will see him. If my daughter comes in, I can wave at her. If someone from my team came in and sat here, there’s space for them to sit. You need to be in a powerl position. That’s the first thing. That means you cannot sit with your back to the door of the room you use to enter, because then you’re not the most authoritative figure in the space. 

You cannot sit your desk against the wall either, because then you’re literally hitting a wall. You’re hitting a financial wall. You’re hitting a wall that nobody can sit on the other side of. I have a desk position with a chair on the other side, so somebody can sit there, even if, like 99% of the time, nobody actually sits there, but you’re still sitting there. My viewers are sitting there, my clients are sitting there, energetically. I have positioned myself correctly. The second part is that when you do that, something shifts in your brain waves. When people sit with their backs to the door or they’re sitting against the wall, they will start creating more beta brainwaves. 

When more beta brainwaves, their energy goes to their reptilian brain part, and that’s where they’re more in fear. They’re more thinking about the past. They’re more thinking from an experience of problems, not thinking about solutions. When you place yourself in a power position, your energy goes to the frontal lobe, the frontal cortex, and you see the future. You’re more concentrated, more focused, and think more clearly about solutions. That is because you create more alpha brain waves when you push and position yourself correctly. You can use this all the time, not just at your desk. You can also do that when you sit watching television. Ensure that you can see people walking into your space, even if no one comes in there. 

Just put yourself in this mindset: go into a meeting, even if it’s at a coffee bar, and meet somebody. Be early, and never sit with your back to the door. Create that as a situation, constantly a discipline. You will feel so much better after a few days. That’s a simple thing.

The second thing you can do is, when you look at your app, you will see that there are four directions. Try to see the door and try to look when you’re awake with your third eye, like your whole eye energy is facing one of your good directions. Right now I’m facing my wisdom direction. Now, why do I not sit in my success direction? Because if I were to do this, I would sit with my back to the door, so the door is the priority, and then try to face a good direction. 

A first step to truly living a stellar life is being more aware of your surroundings.

I could also face that direction. That’s actually my health direction. But I’m a teacher, I’d rather face my wisdom, direction, right? If you can choose, choose what you feel best with. When you sleep, you also want to lie with your head. If possible, it’s not always easy to face a direction that’s beneficial for you, especially when you’re sick and lying in bed during the day or night. Try to turn yourself so that your head is pointed in a good direction. When you do that, you are establishing faster health. This is one of the things I used when, after I was 15, I already knew my direction, and I would sleep in the right direction. Each time, I started improving much faster than other people. 

That’s amazing. Wow. Thank you so much. What are your top three tips for living a stellar life? Where can people find you to learn from you, download the app, and get all that good stuff? 

Well, I think a first step for really living a stellar life is being more aware of your environment. I would love to invite you to go outside your house or apartment, walk back in, open your eyes, and look through them as if with the eyes of God or the universe. Look around and ask yourself, “What do I have in my house? All things are broken. There’s clutter there. Oh my god, I have this image of this sad woman the moment I walk in.” Remove that. Just be aware of how it affects you. It’s the first thing I would do. 

The second thing is, I love for you to declutter, because I do believe that if we declutter, we’re showing more gratitude to our home. When people create chaos around them, they’re actually not happy or grateful for the house that they have. Be happy that you have a shelter. Be happy that you have a good home, especially when you’re looking for a home. You know how important a home can be. 

A third step, I would just like you to download the Marie Diamond app. You can, of course, go to the website, mariediamond.com, and follow me on Instagram @mariediamondofficial.
