Hello & Welcome to The Feng Shui Money Couch where I talk about Feng Shui and other Woo. My name is Laura Beatriz Carrillo aka The Feng Shui Lady.Today I am going to talk about my personal Shui and share my ongoing journey with you. As you feel yourself changing internally, you will find your environment shifts with you.Listen, there’s no such thing as PERFECT Feng Shui. It’s a moving target. 😉GOOD Feng Shui is the goal and that means an environment that evolves and pivots with you. Such that change is an ongoing practice. 😀You are not static, your circumstances are not static and as such your environment is not static. 🙌Your environment is a mirror or reflection of Your Evolution. The reality is that if you don’t see a reflection of change in what’s around you, then you are not fully evolving. 🪷When you allow for growth; change and expansion is reflected in your environment. ✨That includes everything from your home, your inner circle, what food and entertainment you consume and what you give your energy to. The recent eclipse season had a dramatic effect on who and what I give my energy to. 🤯I also had an epiphany as a result of the Venus Retrograde about my physical space. I decided to revisit my environment and look at my space and circumstances as if I was working with a client. 🤓I questioned both my circumstances and my surroundings. I asked myself if I was happy and what I would like to see differently. These are the kinds of questions I would ask you.I decided to give myself a VIP Feng Shui Experience! Seriously! I even filled out my new and improved client intake form. I decided to walk myself through an actual client experience. 🧐When I treated myself and my environment from the vantage point of a practitioner, I was able to see with my Feng Shui eyes what I couldn’t see as the person currently living in my home and circumstances. It was an enlightening experience. 😎I came up with new activations and adjustments for my prosperity Gua for example. The Prosperity Gua is the area of your home that represents your wealth.I replaced a lovely mirror which was perfectly good Feng Shui with a new Tapestry depicting a captivating Zen Drawing that represents good fortune and harmony. While the mirror was fine there; the Tapestry is a powerful visual cue that serves as an activation that I placed with specific intention. Every time I look at it now, I feel inspired by the composition and energy of the artwork. The piece is thought provoking and engages my imagination around the interconnectedness of everything and how the universe is working on my behalf.It’s a series of three overlapping line filled circles. The separate forms come together as one composition representing heaven, earth and humanity. In Feng Shui we work with 3 kinds of luck Heavenly luck, earthly luck, and human luck. Two out of three we have agency over, earthly luck which refers to our physical actions we take towards our goals and human luck which refers to our attitude and energy or chi. Heavenly luck is divinely guided by destiny and karma. I love staring at the figures and experiencing their relationship to each other. I can’t emphasize enough how powerful the imagery in your environment is to creating your narrative and lived experience.As I referred to earlier nobody has perfect Feng Shui. In my home for example I happen to have a portion of my Skills and Knowledge gua that’s missing and lives just outside my front door. This energetic Center called The Skills & Knowledge Gua and also referred to as the Wisdom Gua is just as important as Love or Money or any other energetic center and theme. It represents Information we seek to teach others and Information we want to learn and acquire for ourselves. A portion of this energetic center resides just outside my front door.The interesting thing about this is how focused I have been this year on learning about sales and marketing and discovering how to integrate business systems and strategies as an entrepreneur.I also have a lot of Knowledge I want to teach and share with the world around Feng Shui. So I definitely don’t take for granted this energy center and its interesting that it’s the only Gua at a deficit therefore calling for my special attention.In Feng Shui your front door or entrance is referred to as The Mouth of Chi/Energy. It’s one of the most important power centers of your home and where your blessings enter. Of course I have cures in place for the missing portion of The Skills & Knowledge Gua but when I was doing my personal report and treating myself as a “VIP Client,” I suddenly came up with more creative and advanced additional cures to really energize this area. It was like puzzle that needed solving and it was time to figure it out!An inviting entrance is incredibly important in Feng Shui. Things like a Welcome Mat and a Wind-

Hello & Welcome to the Feng Shui Money Couch where I talk about Feng Shui and other Woo! My name is Laura Beatriz Carrillo aka The Feng Shui Lady.Today I am back talking about Feng Shui For Baby! You’re probably wondering how does it work?What else would it be good for?Why would I do Feng Shui when there’s IVF?Also what does my house have to do with my fertility?These are all good questions so let’s talk about it.Feng Shui for Baby works in layers.Where it comes to Fertility your general health, your reproductive organs, your nervous system and mental state of mind all contribute to your fertility outcome.So does your sex life so there’s a number of layers right there.From a Feng Shui perspective all of these layers are mirrored somewhere in your home. You can actually look at your physical environment as a Living Breathing 3 D Vision Board.There’s an area of your home that represents your Children & Creativity, and an area that represents your Health and an area that represents Family and even an area that represents your Love life! So many layers and they are reflected all around you in your physical environment where Feng Shui adjustments can provide breakthroughs. Seeing your space through Feng Shui eyes can reveal energetic blocks.It can get even more granular in that there are areas of your home that represent specific parts of your body. For example a woman’s reproductive organs are represented in her relationship Gua and activating this Gua with specific cures can be life changing.In Chinese medicine Feng Shui actually serves as a diagnostic tool. Some of the same meridians Acupuncturist’s treat in the body actually have a corresponding area of the home that reflects what is happening with you physically. For example REN Mai or the conception vessel that we refer to as the uterus is represented in the love Gua of your home and bedroom. This is considered Yin or feminine energy .When your spending Thousands of dollars on Fertility treatments that are taxing your bodyIt could actually be a welcome relief for you to know that there are holistic treatments options that are really quite pleasant and cost a fraction of the price of invasive Western treatments. A Holistic approach can actually improve all areas of your life without incurring the health risks and side effects associated with IVF.Now that you’re looking at it from a whole new perspective! You’re probably thinking ok tell me more!When you Consider the financial and physical investment required to pursue fertility treatments versus Feng Shui & Accupuncture. They become viable options worth considering. They also have the side effect of improving other aspects of your life. Feng Shui for example creates a setting that’s designed and aligned with your highest good.IVF is a five-figure investment: roughly $20,000–$30,000 for one round when paying out of pocket, including medications. Simpler fertility treatments can cost less. California clinics publish ranges between $17,000–$30,000 for a complete IVF cycle, depending on what’s included. Feng Shui is a fraction of this and doesn’t come with the negative side effects. Neither can guarantee a baby but in a cost benefit analyses all of the approaches are worth considering. I’m interested in moving the conversation towards holistic options that don’t pose health risks.It’s also worth exploring from a cost benefit analysis perspective where your finances are concerned as well.The older you are the more profoundly stark the Statistics become where it comes to IVF success rates. The numbers show a sharp decrease in fertility success rates for IVF with hormonal interventions for women over 40. With a statistic of 4.1 percent birth success rate for women over 42 versus around 40% success rate for women between 35-37. To summarize regardless of age, Feng Shui & Accupuncture provides a financially accessible zero health risk option with a high overall wellness upside. I recommend addressing both physical and environmental factors with a combination of Accupuncture & Feng Shui. I have recently started having conversations with Acupuncturist’s to partner and refer clients so we work in tandem for optimal results.Accupuncture and Feng Shui are both forms of Chinese medicine and complementary modalities. I just did Feng Shui for an Acupuncturist I recently met and she gave me Accupuncture. We are talking about having her come on the pod so stay tuned for that.The premise of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is that health depends on balance within the body and harmony with your environment. It views the body as an interconnected system, where physical symptoms, emotions, lifestyle, and the seasons influence one another. I can’t wait to have a conversation on camera exploring this further! I hope the infor
Hello & Welcome to the Feng Shui Money Couch where I talk about Feng Shui and other Woo. My name is Laura Carrillo aka The Feng Shui Lady!Today I want to talk about how to Feng Shui Your Way Through Venus & Mercury Retrogrades! There are actually very productive ways to navigate this time period! Instead of getting all doom and gloom about it, I’m going to share some Feng Shui hacks to actually make this fun and fruitful.First let me explain the Astrology of it all. We have an extended period of reflection and revision in the areas of Love & Communication happening until mid December. Yes you heard me correctly. That’s pretty much the rest of the year. And where Venus is concerned it’s been going on since August 31st when Venus entered its pre-shadow retrograde phase.I have personally been leaning into it and am here to help you lean into it too!We officially enter the Venus & Mercury Retrograde on October 3d when Mercury enters its Shadow Retrograde period at the same time that Venus officially goes retrograde.Venus is the planet of Love, beauty, luxury, and aesthetics. So relationships, beauty, and decor undergo an auditing period.Adjacent to Venus being in a state of flux, Mercury the planet of communication and tech also retrogrades. Mercury’s pre-shadow begins on October 4th and officially retrogrades October 24 to November 13 but not out of the post shadow until November 30th. Venus has a longer post retrograde that continues through December 15thWe will all have reasons to reflect on how we are expressing ourselves and communication will require careful consideration all the while our romantic lives and aesthetics will be in flux.Let’s make the most of this time shall we? When Venus is in this state of flux it’s not the time to make permanent decisions about love, or aesthetics. For example not a great time to get married or buy expensive clothing or furniture or get a new hairstyle or cosmetic procedure.Where it comes to fashion, beauty, and decor. This is when we can revisit our fashion past, shop our closets, rotate our art and throw pillows. For example I just rotated my art right before filming replacing my Sun art with My Love is all in honor of Venus and to be on theme with this episode. I also rotated a few of my throw pillows. This zhuzhing was with art and pillows I already own. The idea is to try and work with what you already have or have tried instead of heavily investing in anything brand new.That said, one of the most productive activities you could focus on is auditing your closet. This allows you to focus on the pieces that look best on you and to curate wardrobe capsules for specific occasions and themes.If you do this systematically, you will find and curate your most flattering and elevated wardrobe looks for your best life. Seriously let’s Marie Kondo it! You will also be channeling the energies of Venus in the most positive and aligned way. It’s a big project but a fun one! Listen you have several months to get in there and categorize what needs to be styled, taken to the seamstress, donated, sold, gifted and capsuled.I have been going through my own clothes and trying everything single article on to see what is still working for me. I pulled 4 large bags of clothes from my wardrobe so far! I sold and traded at least one bag full and gifted 2. I have one more to go!My work around for shopping during Venus Retrograde is Selling for Trade! Returns & Exchanges also come in handy through December 15th.The clothes I sold and traded at Crossroad’s since August 31st to now ended up garnering me some amazing new additions to my closet without making any big financial investments. Among the standouts that I acquired through trade were a sexy red dress and power skirt with a cute top that I love. Red is a very new revelation to my wardrobe! It is this year’s power color because it’s the year of The Fire Horse and fire element and colors are a great way to channel this energy.I also found the prettiest most cheerful Tiffany blue floral dress. Venus Retrograde can sometimes lead to finding stand out pieces in unusual or low stakes ways. Sometimes you can experiment during this time and later change your mind which is why low stakes is the name of the game.You can also use Poshmark to sell and purchase clothes which is another great work around for Venus Retrograde! The idea is to avoid spending a lot of money on anything.My favorite part of my closet audit so far was the gifting part! I invited a couple girlfriends over, served wine, and let them basically shop my closet edits that hadn’t sold or been traded.One of my friends said she only had like five outfits to her name so it was heartwarming to see her pull an entirely new wardrobe from my left overs. Both of my friends rocked those clothes and it made a real impact for them. They both ended up with clothes they could wear for work and business as well as pieces they could apply to their social and romantic lives
Hello and Welcome to the Feng Shui Money Couch where I talk about Feng Shui and other Woo. My name is Laura Beatriz Carrillo aka The Feng Shui Lady. Today I am sharing some Feng Shui insights.If you have been listening or watching me for a while you know how passionate I am about Feng Shui as a Wellness Practice. I often refer to Epigenetic’s and the impact our environment has on our gene expression and health outcomes! So practicing Feng Shui is not just an aesthetic expression. However the aesthetic benefits are a lovely aspect to its broader benefits.Feng Shui is actually one of the 5 Branches of Chinese Medicine and serves as both a diagnostic tool and an ingredient in your healing journey. Your space is a mirror of your current circumstances and with Feng Shui you can have some agency over those circumstances.When you dive even deeper into Feng Shui and its more mystical practices it also serves as a manifesting tool and was originally only accessible to the ruling class for 1000’s of years. I believe that’s why people born into or surrounded by generational wealth don’t experience the same money blocks that most people struggle with. They grow up surrounded by opulence and good Feng Shui.In today’s episode I want to talk about when the most vital times to invest in Feng Shui are. My top Five examples include when you are Decorating, Moving, Renting, Buying or Investing in property.Whether you rent, own or have stake in an investment property, decorating and furnishing it, is an opportunity to Feng Shui and space plan with intention to maximize on your properties full energetic potential. That’s the perfect time to reach out for a VIP Feng Shui Experience.Your experience of home will transform from a nice roof over your head to a living breathing 3 D Vision Board. What you learn in a VIP Feng Shui container will not only serve you in your current home or business but everywhere you go because once you start to see the world through the lens of Feng Shui you will have a whole new world view. Feng Shui is a physical language. Everything everywhere around you is communicating and activating something.An even more critical time to reach out for a Feng Shui Property Report is prior to making a big investment in a rental, purchase or investment property. That will make the difference between you selecting a property that could be a liability versus an asset.You are about to spend a large sum of money and commit to physical space that you will either rent and live in, own and reside in, or invest handsomely in with the hopes of some ROI.In all 3 of those examples I would advise purchasing a Property Report or Reports if you’re debating between multiple properties. It could make the difference between selecting a money pit or your dream home.Moving home, or Business location is one of the biggest timeline jumps and upgrades you can make in life. I can provide a level of insight, confidence and direction during this pivotal time with my Property Reports.I have an à la cart Property Report service that’s available for purchase.I also welcome the opportunity to work with Real Estate Professionals, General Contractors, Interior Designers, and Home Loan professionals as referral partners and collaborators.

Hello & Welcome To The Feng Shui Money Couch where I talk about Feng Shui & other Woo!My name is Laura Carrillo aka The Feng Shui Lady…Today’s Episode is called “Fanning The Flames of Fire 🔥 & Stepping into your power!”I missed the last 2 weeks of the Pod because I was super busy behind the scenes preparing to launch a new course where I delve into how to Feng Shui your vessel and by that I mean your body and your clothes. Today I am giving you a preview of how to work with the Feng Shui Elements not just in your home but on your person!Fire is one of the 5 elements in Feng Shui and one of the most obvious ways of wearing and representing it is by wearing the color red or red spectrum colors like orange and fuchsia.You can Feng Shui not only your home but your wardrobe to harness elemental energy and archetypes!Red energetically attracts attention and connection. You can benefit from wearing it in circumstances where you want to be noticed and you welcome connection and attention.Red imbues you with Main Character Energy and I refer to it’s archetypal energy the Social Butterfly/Siren.It’s such an activating color that it can also activate aggression and overstimulation. e.g. You might want to wear it on a hot date but not to a contentious legal proceeding.Red is a power color in Feng Shui and is also considered lucky and auspicious in China where brides traditionally wear it on their wedding days.This is the year of the Fire Horse so red is definitely a power color this year!I have historically not worn red and barely ever owned any garments in that color. I didn’t feel comfortable wearing red and struggled to find a flattering shade that worked with my complexion.I used to primarily wear black to the exclusion of every other color. Especially when I was younger. My mom would always mock my sense of style and question why I always dressed as if I was headed to a funeral or in mourning. She had a way with words….She wasn’t wrong because I was a little sad growing up and during my coming of age years. I wasn’t comfortable in my skin and I didn’t really want to be seen.My attitude towards Fire element and the color and energy of Red has recently changed. I just updated my wardrobe with a few key pieces including 2 flirty red dresses and a red power skirt.I was updating my dating capsule with a couple dresses and I wanted a power skirt for my business networking capsule.You don’t have to wear a color from head to toe for it to have an impact but if you are going to do it finding the correct shade for your skin tone is important.As a winter, I look best in reds with a blue, berry, or slightly pink undertone rather than orange, rust, or brown. I think I nailed it!Have you found your true red? Are you ready to be seen and step into your power? 💪On the September 10th Virgo New Moon, I officially launched my first offering related to Fashion Feng Shui. It’s called DRESS TO MANIFEST where I teach you how to harness all the elements and their corresponding energies & archetypes through color, shapes, prints and silhouettes. It’s not just about fashion, it’s about identity, intention and dressing for the role or roles you want to play in life.YOU too can Feng Shui your outfit, your wardrobe, your identity! You can literally reinvent yourself. 🪷Remember that the World is your Stage! With the right elements of style, YOU can have Main Character Energy... 🫅This course has been a labor of love combining my two favorite things Feng Shui and Woman’s Fashion! ❤️During the process of developing this program I underwent my own fashion make-over stepping into my new role as The Feng Shui Lady of The OC. 🍊As we evolve, our physical environments and our wardrobes serve as expressions of our transformation. 🦋DRESS TO MANIFEST is available for immediate download!Remember to subscribe, like and share to spread the love and support my work.
