Episode 013: Enhancing Knowledge with Feng Shui - A Mini-Consultation

HOLISTIC SPACES PODCAST, EPISODE 013

ENHANCING KNOWLEDGE WITH FENG SHUI - A MINI CONSULTATION

Feng Shui 101- The Bagua Map.png

I'm excited about this episode, as I'll be sharing a mini telephone consultation with a client in Chicago who sent in her floor plan. Listen in as Jennifer and I discuss how she can make adjustments to her space to enhance knowledge. 

  • Using feng shui to enhance studying

  • Using a dining room table to study

  • Adjusting for commanding position in a studio apartment

  • What the knowledge area represents

  • Laying the bagua map on a complicated floor plan

  • Activating the knowledge area in three ways

  • Using the five elements in adjustments

  • Knowing why you make adjustments

  • Hanging a windchime or bell

  • Benefits of personal feng shui consultations

  • Blue and the knowledge area

  • Using items you already own for adjustments

I hope you enjoyed listening in on this consultation! I'm happy to have shared a bit of the individual feng shui experience with you. Of course, feng shui is a very personal practice, some of the adjustments we discussed work for you as well! 

You can read more about many of these cures on the Holistic Spaces blog.

HOLISTIC SPACES PODCAST, EPISODE 011

YOUR 2016 CHINESE NUMEROLOGY

Happy Chinese New Year! We welcome the Year of the Fire Monkey! Last episode, Chinese astrologer, Doris Ingber, went over all the considerations for the Chinese zodiac animals based on the new year. In today's episode, I’ll review the 101 basics of an Asian numerology called the Nine Star Ki. 

  • What is Nine Star Ki?

  • Holistic Spaces aromasticks for 2016

  • Calculating your principle number

  • 2016 energies for each principle number

I hope you found these energy considerations helpful and are able to reflect back on them throughout the Year of the Fire Monkey. Happy Lunar New Year from Holistic Spaces! Remember that no matter what your Chinese Zodiac or numerology, BTB feng shui recommends carrying a three-dimensional snake charm throughout this year for protection and support!

I also encourage you to check out our 2016 Chinese New Year kit, which includes a snake charm, our orange Happy mist and a custom aromastick for your nine star ki.
