Episode 037: What's In Store for Your Chinese Numerology in 2017

HOLISTIC SPACES PODCAST, EPISODE 037

WHAT'S IN STORE FOR YOUR CHINESE NUMEROLOGY IN 2017

Happy Chinese New Year! While the new year actually began earlier this month, there's still plenty of time to calculate your Nine Star Ki for the upcoming lunar year and see what 2017 has in store for you. Over the last few weeks, we heard from experts on the Chinese Zodiac animals and their energies for the year, but I'm also a huge fan of Nine Star Ki in addition to the animal horoscopes. Listen in for how to calculate your number and what to expect this year!

I hope you are all as excited as I am for the new year! What does 2017 have in store for you? Does it match with your expectations?

If you have questions about your Nine Star Ki or want to learn more, feel free to send in your questions or schedule a consultation! You could even use our new 15-minute consultation call service for this!

EPISODE 036: SELF-LOVE WITH FENG SHUI

Happy Valentine's Day! I'm happy to dedicate this week's podcast to the art of loving YOU! Many of us get very excited to show love to others on this holiday, but we often neglect to love and appreciate the most important person - ourselves! Practicing self-love can actually be easy and incredibly helpful for creating a nurturing, holistic space. Listen in for some of my favorite ways!

Which of these methods of self-love sound best to you? Or do they all sound great (that's me...)? As I mentioned, I would love to hear from each of you who make a self-care list on what you do to make yourself feel loved and cared for. If we share our tips, we can all enjoy full cups and help others do the same. :) Happy Valentine's Day, and thanks so much for listening in!

Questions about self-love and feng shui? Send them through for answers on our Q&A Sunday series, or check out our new 15-minute consultation calls to have your questions addressed right away.
