Practical Use of Vibrational Therapies
The Renovation Story
About ten
weeks ago we were advised by our real estate agent that the tenants in our town
property would be vacating the premises in four weeks. My first reaction was “I
wonder why they’re leaving? We don’t want a disruption to the income stream at
this time; perhaps we should talk them into staying.”
Needless to say that having slept on it we got back to the agent and said
that we were taking this opportunity to re-paint the place and replace the
carpets and that when this was done they could look for new tenants. Simple
enough we thought.
Well about a month later we went to town to get the keys to get started.
The new property manager handed us the keys in a belligerent sort of way and
said they would still rent it when we had sorted it out. We weren’t expecting
what we saw. Shortly we were back at the office for some answers. Apparently we
were penny pinching landlords who never spent anything around the place. Well its here that the lessons
begin.
Back at home I was seething; I was berating tenants for all they were
worth or not worth as the case may be, not to mention that useless property
manager (the former one). Well luckily I caught myself in my act, took a deep
breath and sat down and meditated for a while. You see this is the one we can
all so easily miss in the emotions of the moment: What you say is what you get! What you
resist persists!, it is the words spoken with the strength of emotion that
brings forth our reality!
We changed our attitude and our actions and as much as possible spoke
only good things about our tenants and set a course to attract a wonderful new
tenant(s).
We wrote out a statement to the effect that we would attract a new tenant
who would love, respect and treat the place as though it were their own and in
return we would provide a fully refurbished residence that one would be proud to
call home. Also that they would be in and paying rent by the 15th
Nov. This was then placed under a clear quartz
point.
In metaphysical terms this is
manifesting, physically- goal setting. But by writing out a clear statement of
what we wanted and what we were prepared to do in exchange and then following
through, we were bound to achieve it. As far as we were concerned this was now
a’ fate de complete’ and all we had to do was commence the
work.
It was only
a few days in and we were more than wondering if we had bitten off more than we
could chew? This house was going to require much more than first thought in all
factors of time money and effort.
It was at
this time we became aware of the depressive energy the property had taken on in
addition to the physical dirt and mould. We decided to smudge the house now
rather than later. There are no
rules for smudging, we just start in the front of the house and slowly move
through the entire house, making sure you get the smoke from the smudge stick in
all the corners. To finish, air the house thoroughly this will give it a clean
clear feel. We also gave the property a Reiki treatment to improve the vibes
around the place.
Smudging is an ideal way to clear
an area of negative or depressive energies. Also the regular burning of incense
is quite effective.
The next day a friend turned up offering to help and then the next day
another who was also a licensed handyman with all the equipment we would need to
complete the job. (The question I pose
for you is; where did they come from and how did they know we needed
them?)
Miraculously the overgrown jungle of asparagus weed and bougainvillea was
being transformed into an easy care garden. Amazing what a dedicated team can do. We
were able to buy our paint at genuine trade prices. When we went to buy the
floor coverings, we were delighted when told of a cancelled order that meant we
could have top quality carpet and vinyl laid for a budget price. The tiler would
be able to do our job also, even if just in the nick of time. We obtained the
stove we needed by taking the demo, as the new shipment would not be in till
after the fifteenth.
It was in week four of our project that we were really tested; extra
things seemed to be popping up. How would we ever finish? To top it off, we had
just re-confirmed to the new property manager that we would be ready on time and
to start looking for a new tenant(s). But we were beginning to bite each others
heads off.
It was now time to take a step
back, take a deep breath and meditate- Also to improve the vibrations around the
place we took some dedicated clear and rose quartz
crystals
and placed them around the garden.
The new property manager came to visit along with her new understanding.
When she took over it was not known that the previous property manager had not
been doing her job properly and she had only the former tenants’ version of
things when she first dealt with us. She was amazed at the properties
transformation so far, we took particular note of her comment that the place
‘felt so much better’. We discussed the rent we now wanted and she advised us
that it may take a little while to complete as demand was going to the new
estates around town.
All along we had been playing good music and listening to motivational
material whilst working at the house. This was done to lift the vibrations in the
place as well as to entertain and educate us while we
worked.
We were delighted when informed that a new application was in for our
approval, but when did she look at the house? She hadn’t. A friend of hers who
lived in town was aware of what we were doing and had informed her that this
would be a good place to live in. Besides this her lease ran out on the eight of
Nov.
We were doing the finishing off on the seventh when a car pulled up in
front. We still hadn’t done the proper clean up yet as we realised this was our
potential new tenant, who was here for a look. It was now that we began to
receive some of the reward for the work done.
First impressions count and they were good when we met her and her’ three
young children out front. They had arrived with her friend. After the
introductions, her friend explained that the house had taken on a whole new
persona and her son wanted to know what had happened to the old house that used
to be here.
As she entered she said that she loved the size of the place with plenty
of room for children to play; unlike the new estates with no room to swing a
cat. Unsolicited, she and the children took off their shoes before entering the
house. This was a very good sign for us. As she stepped onto the new carpet she
commented on its softness and then declared it to be a perfect match to her
furniture. We saw her look of wonder in the kitchen, appreciated her comment
that she just loved the colour scheme and the size and layout of the
rooms.
We had had a complication in the bathroom from previous owners’
renovations and were unable to restore a normal shower and had to rely on a hand
held shower as previous, but the bathroom was fully renovated. We saw this as a
necessary compromise. Imagine how it felt when she exclaimed her love of hand
held showers, especially over a good sized bath.
She also asked about the incense we were burning; declaring she also
liked incense.
It appears that tenancy and tenant have found a perfect match. Needless
to say we now have our new tenant and will be receiving the rent we want from
the fifteenth of November. It also appears we have a property manager who knows
her job and will do it.
When we purchased this property, it was already tenanted and with
precedents set; we now start over with a whole new slate. Here’s to all of us
living happily ever after.
A great many lessons have been learnt along the way. Some of our problems
developed because we had let some things slide that we shouldn’t have. From now
on we will be much tougher landlords; but not without compassion and
understanding. And in the same light we will be much more demanding of our
property manager.
Some are amazed that we have turned a sad and neglected property around
so quickly. Further that it is now rented above market average in a town with an
over supply and lack of demand for rental
properties.
The answer: The property had its vibrations raised and sustained to a
level that would achieve this outcome, to the mutual benefit of all parties
involved.
We could have regaled against the previous tenets as is the norm and
nearly the case for us; instead we chose
to thank them for the opportunities they afforded us. 1) We got to remove an
ugly pergola from the front of the property that detracted from its value. We
had wanted to remove this for some time but had left it as they insisted it was
an important reason for them renting there. 2) Their leaving had disclosed
illegal works undertaken by them which where the real cause of some of the
problems with the property, which would have been disastrous in the longer term.
3) Had they left one month earlier we couldn’t have claimed the tax deductions
for the cost of restoration.
Cleaning and renovating restored and physically lifted the property to a
commercial value, which we are and will be taking advantage of. But Reiki, smudging, burning
incense,
the playing of good music all added to the feel and the emotional value of the
place. What you think and what you say really does lead to what you get.
We didn’t want more of what we already had, that is why it was so
important to forgive and say only good things about
tenants.
We declared what we wanted and when we wanted it by and then handed it
over to the universe to deliver by placing it under a clear quartz
crystal.
All the rest is history.
Vibrational therapies work effectively on places and things as well as people.
