Hi Parag and Starliu,
I currently live in California, but am planning on moving to New York City in July. I don't really know of any groups in upstate NY, but in Manhattan, you can call the Open Center, and they can usually recommend a class or group. By the way, I believe the
www.thinkrightnow.com company is based in Albany, but not positive. Om mani padme hum is the grandmother of all affirmations - it's an all purpose affirmation that brings your being into balance, so whatever you need to draw to you will happen. Feng Shui absolutely originated in India. A good person to speak to about this subject is Madi Nolan, a feng shui consultant in Bellevue,Washington. I've studied many of the different schools of feng shui, Black Hat, compass, landform, and believe me, they definitely contradict each other - but I've gotten results with each of the schools, and I've come to the realization, it's sort of like religion -everyone thinks their way is THE way, either Catholicism, or Buddhism, or Judaism, or Protestantism - but really all roads lead to the same place. So I would look to work with someone who has gotten results, in other words, someone happily married, financially stable, etc. Be leery of anyone preaching feng shui who doesn't have their own act together. When I first started studying feng shui - I started with my car, I figured, let's see if I get results. I made a point of keeping my car neat and I hung a crystal ball on a red ribbon on the rear view mirror. That was about 7 years ago. Since then, I haven't gotten a ticket, no accidents, just pleasant events. You can start with small changes and look for the miracles.
