  • Our perspectives on minimalism and clutter

  • The benefits of letting go of old books

Have you ever worried that you’re doing feng shui wrong? If so, you’re not alone. While we don’t believe anything in feng shui is always good or always bad, there are a few things we suggest staying away from as you’re exploring.

  • Our thoughts on “good” or “bad” feng shui

  • Why you might be attracted to homes or space with challenging feng shui

  • Our opinions on plants in the bedroom

  • What happens when you try do adjust all of the bagua areas at once

  • What to do when you want to change someone else’s feng shui

  • Why it’s helpful to work with a trained practitioner instead of trying to do your own feng shui

In this episode, we’re taking a moment to honor our feng shui lineage. We believe that it’s incredibly important to  honor our lineages, both our own personal cultural lineages and those of the practices we study and are drawn to. We’ve mentioned our teachers before, but inspired by the uprising against racial injustice that we’re witnessing right now, we are looking more deeply at how we are showing up in the world. While we always share our lineage with our Mindful Design students and everyone who attends our info sessions, we recognize that we can do more to honor our lineage publicly.
