Feng Shui For The Fellas!
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’s episode is called “Feng Shui For The Fellas”! While most of my clients have traditionally been women, I recently joined the Newport Beach Chamber of Commerce and I meet a lot of professional men who express interest in what I do. I sometimes have a little more explaining to do on what Feng Shui is and it’s a very different conversation than the one I have with women. Men love hearing about how Feng Shui was originally just for kings and queens and the elite class in order to keep them in power. It’s associated with generational wealth and the practices that were kept from the masses for thousands of years. Guys want in on that secret sauce so to speak.Women are usually more interested in how Feng Shui can help them make space for love and babies and greater success in their businesses. They connect more deeply with Feng Shui as a Manifesting tool while men are more focused on it as a money magnet. It’s all of the above but I now have 2 different elevator pitches depending on who I am talking to. Some women will get the male elevator pitch if I sense she is especially motivated by money or is completely closed of to anything woo. But usually it’s Love & Babies & Manifesting that are catnip for ladies.I haven’t really put it out there yet with men but Feng Shui is also a way to attract the opposite sex or the same sex depending on your preference. To put it bluntly Gentlemen, Feng Shui can help you get laid.I have been ruminating over the idea of creating a program called Feng Shui For The Fellas.Currently the kind of professional men I appeal to are often connected in some way with Real Estate, Construction, Property Investment etc. They care about property and resale values so my Property Reports are right up their alley. The more affluent they are, the more familiar they are with the importance of Feng Shui especially where it comes to property values. I don’t ever broach the subject of how it could help their love lives. And yet, I have that conversation with women all the time because it just comes up naturally.The truth is Men who want more fulfilling love lives could definitely benefit from Feng Shui and make their homes more inviting and welcoming to potential partners or enhance and heal the relationships they currently have.Men might not realize how the manner in which they have arranged their homes could be cock blocking them. They might not know that only having one night stand is communicating to potential lovers that you don’t have room for them and they aren’t welcome to stay.You probably haven’t given much thought to how the aggressive artwork depicting a Volcano or Animals in mortal combat hanging over your bed might be received as a red flag to your potential lover. I could go on and on. Single men in particular could really benefit from some good Shui.Gentlemen what are you doing to create a setting for the woman of your dreams? Is there any closet space for her? Do you have a romantic nook to serve her dinner? Have you stocked your fridge with things she would appreciate like a fine wine or fancy chocolates?Here’s a couple Feng Shui tips for the gentleman out there that want to create a setting for romance. First off I want to say that women tend to be more comfortable being intimate for the first time with you in their own homes. Set and setting matter and women not only like a cozy setting, we like to have our pretty lingerie and lotions and potions at our fingertips. That said, once she agrees to visit your space, she will be scanning it for clues about who you are and if she could see herself with you. The more aesthetically pleasing and inviting your space is gentlemen, the more likely she will be able to relax. It should go without saying that your home should be clean! Stock that fridge with things she likes and for the love of god find out her coffee or morning beverage preferences and have them on hand. The 2 night stands I mentioned matter even if you live alone. That second night stand is for your lover so you might want to stock it with things to make her more comfortable. Most of these same principles apply to both sexes by the way, but for the purposes of this pod I am referring to what ladies usually like. Things like a scented candle, some lotion, an eye mask so she has a good nights sleep next to you. Thoughtful things that your ideal partner would like. You could even have a book on a subject you would like to share with a lover. Perhaps something on relationships or tantra. Conversely, for my ladies these same principles apply. For example I tend to date men who like Whiskey so I keep it stocked in my bar and now suddenly I like Whiskey. I keep a new toothbrush for guests in my bathroom and a spare eye mask in my nightsta

Foundational Feng Shui
Hello & Welcome to The Feng Shui Money Couch where I talk about Feng Shui wisdom and other Woo. My name is Laura Carrillo aka The Feng Shui Lady. Today I am talking about some Foundational Feng Shui principles that you can easily apply to your life!One of the most Feng Shui things you can do without even knowing anything about Feng Shui is cleaning your house. And just like Feng Shui, it’s a practice that needs to be maintained on a weekly or at least monthly basis. It’s not a one and done actively.When I clean my house it’s almost a sacred act for me. Cleaning is actually an energetic reset and recharge for your space. It’s as important to your environment and your relationship with it as sleep is to your health and your body. Imagine if you never did the dishes after cooking or never washed your clothes or bathed. That would be disgusting.Decluttering is another layer of cleaning and clearing your space as well and that is also foundational to Feng Shui. It’s something else you have to maintain and do periodically especially if you’re a big consumer of clothes and objects like me. Too much stuff can create a kind of chaos. It can cause you to feel both overwhelmed and paralyzed. This happens when there’s no room for your energy to maneuver due to the clutter and the good things in your life get lost under the crap you don’t need. Meanwhile new positive influences have no room to enter. I have a phrase I live by and that’s You have to make sacred space for your blessings.So if you treat cleaning and decluttering like a sacred act or manifesting ritual, these activities and their cumulative results take on a different role in your life. Your relationship with your environment becomes more intimate causal and powerful.Space clearing with tools like bells, singing bowls and drums can really level up your cleaning ritual into a manifesting ritual. I’m not saying I pull out my frame drum or singing bowl every time I clean, but I will often ring a small bell to bless and activate the space after a good cleaning. I typically bring out the big guns like the Drum and Singing bowl when I am actively performing a manifesting ritual or something dramatic has occurred that requires special attention. Ideally, I try to align elevated space clearing activities with specific lunar cycles or life changing circumstances.The more you change and evolve, the more your environment and the things in it need to shift along with you. I see this with decor and wardrobe and even homes we have outgrown. You can really accelerate change in your life by decluttering and redecorating. Sometimes it can be a change in circumstances that forces the decluttering and redecorating, but in my personal experience it’s usually the latter. The more I declutter and redecorate, and update my home and wardrobe, the more my circumstances change and shift to match up with those changes and invite new positive circumstances. If a move is forced upon you by circumstances, trust and believe the universe is stepping in and moving you out of your stagnation for good reason. In fact if it’s circumstances that push you to move, no matter how uncomfortable or inconvenient the circumstances may appear, there’s a huge blessing on the other side of that. I can definitely attest to this. Last year I was forced to move closer to family after my mother passed away and my brother fell ill. Like clockwork this coincided with my complete home makeover and the start of a New Romantic relationship. I had changed so much in my environment that my life no longer fit who, what and where I was. I moved, my relationship ended, I reimagined my business and made new friends and community.Now I feel so blessed to be in a much more elevated environment, community and set of circumstances. Even though the transition was challenging and a bit scary, it felt guided and aligned and I am grateful for my new life. If you want to change your life, Feng Shui is a vehicle for change. Sometimes that change can be unpredictable or even uncomfortable. When you collaborate with your environment and the divine, universal forces become unleashed to work in your favor. Once you get comfortable with that, you can lean into the changes the divine has in store for you and enjoy the ride.Some ways you can make cleaning a sexy ritual is to play high Frequency music while you clean and introduce sacred tools like essential oils and organic cleaning products like Mrs Meyers. You can also incorporate tools like Sage and Palo Santo which you can burn at the completion of your cleaning ritual to finalize the reset of the energy. I also like to mist my home with an essential oil mister that I make. Some people like lavender oil because it’s calming. I’m a fan of rosemary or bergamot but it’s completely up to you what scents resonate.There’s a new moon and a full moon every month. I recommend working with these energies by aligning an

The Writing is on The Walls!
From a Feng Shui perspective, our stories are reflected and literally written on our walls! That’s why a big part of what I do involves story boarding and treating your home like a living breathing 3D vision board.Art is one of the first things I notice when it comes to people’s stories. What it’s depicting, where it is located, what colors dominate the space, and ultimately what story is being depicted. Is it aspirational or tragic? You can ask yourself these same questions.I’ve seen art in people’s homes so morose and disturbing that it would dampen the mood of even the most cheerful and balanced individual. The same person with that type of art is often oblivious to how it’s affecting their own personal narrative and subconscious mind. While you don’t need to be a psychiatrist or a Feng Shui consultant to understand how seeing sad or disturbing imagery on a daily basis might impact your psyche, you might need one of us to point it out. Sometimes we are so close to the obvious that we cannot see it ourselves. Especially if you’re the one surrounding yourself with dark influences and you have normalized them or fixated on how expensive the art is rather than how it makes you feel or what it is actually communicating. In Feng Shui terms context and location matter most because what appears negative to one individual might have a different backstory for another. There’s an energetic map in Feng Shui that we use to uncover where love or money or health or any of the 9 major themes in your life are represented in the home. The nine life themes represented in the Feng Shui energetic map called the Bagua include Skills & Knowledge, Career, Travel & Helpful People, Family, Children & Creativity, Wealth, Fame, and finally Love & Relationships. So a piece of art can be curated and story boarded to work for you rather than against you by placing it in alignment with each of these themes. For example a film poster for a horror film that you produced and made substantial income from could contextually work in your Career or Money centers of your home but be destructive in your Relationship or Family centers.In most cases you don’t need to buy all new art to change the narrative. It’s really about curating the art you already have to align with the story and life you want to live. Once you understand the Feng Shui Bagua Map, you become empowered to narrate your story in a productive manner. Location and context are everything in this regard. That’s a big part of what I help people with. I can read the room so to speak and help you translate what it’s communicating so that you can have greater agency over your personal narrative.I woke up a couple days ago with bee in my bonnet so to speak and decided it was time for a new chapter in love. It is Mercury Retrograde right now so it’s a great time to repurpose things we already own. Any that begin with re applies here. Redecorating, recharging, revisiting etc. It’s all about the edit and the revision. I didn’t have to go out and buy anything new perse; instead I just rotated my personal art that had been in storage to update my narrative. As soon as I made the shift, It was uncanny how it aligned with my personal circumstances. New romantic suitors and insights suddenly entered the picture. I had been in a relationship that ended a few months prior and have been gradually making shifts to my Love Gua since then. The love Gua is of course the area of your home that represents your love life. Mine happens to be in my bedroom which is ideal and one of the reasons I chose this home. I recently invested in new bedding and had cleared the room post relationship. I also invested in some new wardrobe pieces with dating in mind but there was still something more that I felt needed to shift.My art was sweet and what one could describe as girly. My bedroom could just as easily been that of a teenage girls in certain respects. The art was charming and made me happy but it wasn’t exactly sexy or romantic in an adult sense. We are talking flowers and butterflies and the like. I decided to rotate my art with some sensual Gustav Klempt pieces I had in storage. The large piece I chose to place over my bed depicts naked lovers intertwined in bed. I also chose another smaller Klempt piece for the love corner of my bedroom with those same lovers clothed while standing embracing each other. Both pieces are now strategically placed in my love Gua. Whatever you hang over your bed is what you are inviting in. The sexy art replaced some lovely pieces that also communicated love but lacked any eroticism or sexual context. The love Gua represents all kinds of relationships not just romantic so I wanted to be more targeted in my approach. The “Love Is All”statement piece that had been hanging over my bed was moved into Family Gua and now is prominently hung over my sofa in the living room. It’s a floral piece with the statement LOVE IS All that work

Feng Shui For Baby
Hello and 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 and today I am talking about Feng Shui for Baby!It’s one of my favorite things to do and I don’t talk about it enough. Recently however it’s been coming up in conversation and I wanted to dedicate today’s Pod to it. If you are getting ready to welcome a baby home or even trying to conceive a baby, Feng Shui can actually help!Grace was my first Feng Shui Baby. I wasn’t sure if Grace was an anomaly, a fluke or just good luck but after Grace there were more Feng Shui babies. It has worked every time I have attempted “Feng Shui for Baby” which has resulted in a certain level of confidence in my ability to at least help and be a factor in bringing about such a blessing. I help women and couples get ready for baby by helping them prepare the home and babies room physically and energetically. I have found that the same tips that help create the right setting for baby also have a side affect of helping couples who are trying to get pregnant or are looking to adopt. When requests for “Feng Shui for Baby” come up, I am delighted to help. I am sharing this now so that they will come up more often and because I know there are a lot of women and couples who are eagerly preparing for baby or longing for one. It’s helpful to know that there are energetic alternatives. In addition to helping new parents prepare for baby, I have helped clients with both fertility and adoption breakthroughs with a combination of Feng Shui & Space Clearing.I am a Feng Shui consultant who specializes in both Feng Shui and Space Clearing. My practice is called Narrative Space. It is founded on the principle that our homes are mirrors of our personal narrative. Our stories can be seen in the way we live and through Feng Shui and Space Clearing, we can play a conscious role in what our story is going to be. In my experience, a baby has to be a part of your story and physical narrative in order to come into your life. When you are preparing to bring a new life home, it’s like starting a new chapter and your baby becomes part of your story. I help create a setting and physical narrative that supports this new life. I make sure the babies room and home as a whole are designed with baby in mind. I help clients arrange the babies room to feel safe, restful, nurturing and balanced with Feng Shui principles.There are many resources for women who are preparing for baby or that struggle with fertility and adoption challenges. I encourage you to explore all of them. Advancements in medicine have certainly come a long way and we have IVF, egg freezing, egg and sperm donors etc. Surrogate mothers are also becoming a more common option and of course adoption services are a beautiful choice. In addition to these methods, we have holistic approaches that can also help like Acupuncture and Feng Shui which happen to be two of the Five branches of Chinese medicine so they complement each other.When you are getting ready to bring a new life into your home, you want to make sure to make a healthy and inviting setting for your new baby. If you want to increase your odds for getting pregnant or adopting a baby, creating the right setting can help facilitate the process energetically. Holistic approaches like Feng Shui and Acupuncture are a lot less expensive and/or invasive than some of the aforementioned options and they typically are very pleasant experiences that can make your journey to baby much more comfortable and inviting. If you have attempted all of the western approaches and are still struggling, I would suggest incorporating some eastern practices into the mix to see if they can make the energetic difference you need to achieve your goal.You may have at least heard of Feng Shui but Space Clearing is a little more unusual and I do both. Not all Feng Shui consultants do Space Clearing and not all Space Clearers do Feng Shui… They work best together and actually reinforce each other the same way Acupuncture and Feng Shui do, a kind of Yin & Yang relationship.In both practices I am working with energetic flow and intention. Feng Shui is a more visually tangible practice commonly referred to as the “Art of Placement.” It is a physical language that is designed to organize your space in the most energetically inviting and auspicious manner. Space Clearing is a kind of Alchemy that uses a number of different elements to “clear” a space energetically of stagnant and non-beneficial energies and then impart blessings and intentions for good fortune. When both practices are combined, you maximize on the energetic potential of the space and are able to facilitate positive change and transformation with the most impactful and accelerated results. This is why I generally recommend combining both services especially when you are moving int

What to do when your Money & Reputation are outside!!!
Hello & Welcome to the Feng Shui Money Couch where I talk about Feng Shui & other woo. My name is Laura Beatriz Carrillo aka The Feng Shui Lady. Today I’m recording from my balcony and I’ll explain why in a minute! Last week, I missed my self imposed Friday deadline because I was knee deep in the renovation of the two most important Power Centers or Guas for building your business and finances. The Fame & Wealth Guas! Mine happen to be outside on my balcony, and they needed an upgrade! You need Fame or attention to get clients and you need Money to build and operate your business.What if these areas of your home live outside the house?! This happens all the time! The best way to engage and activate the themes of Wealth & Reputation when they live outside is to Garden! Patio furniture also comes to mind. Make these areas of your home inviting and luxurious and Spend quality time there. Today, I am sharing my personal transformation of both my Wealth & Reputation Guas. Along with how you can use the same principles to transform your own wealth and reputation! If you’re new to Feng Shui, I am talking about how all of your most important life themes and power centers are represented somewhere in your home and sometimes they end up outside. In Feng Shui there’s an energetic map called the Bagua that includes all nine of your life themes which we refer to as Gua’s. The Bagua and all nine Guas are laid out like a tic tac toe board with all nine life centers inside. Ideally you want your home to be either a complete square or rectangle so that all the guas are accounted for. They include Skills & Knowledge, Career, Travel & Helpful People, Family, Health, Children & Creativity, Wealth & Abundance, Fame & Reputation, and Love & Relationships. This Bagua map is applied from the front door looking into the house. Your front door is typically in one of the bottom Guas either in Skills & Knowledge, Career, or Travel & Helpful People.BAGUA MAPOnce you understand the Bagua Map, you realize that there’s an area of your home that represents your Wealth & Reputation and you can start to see how that’s playing out within the context of your home. Whatever is going on in the wealth area symbolizes and mirrors what is going on with your wealth. You can find it in the far back left hand corner of your home or property. Your Fame & Reputation Gua is in the far back center area of your home. Both of mine happen to be on my Balcony. I recently moved and had an old weathered dinning table and chairs from my previous apartment that didn’t exactly feel upscale in my Wealth Gua so I decided to reimagine this space. I created what to me feels like an upscale setting that I affectionately call my Bougie Bistro. I purchased a round green metal table and chairs designed for the outdoors. Green not only represents growth and wood element in Feng Shui, but it’s also the color of money. My old square weathered wooden table was blue painted over red painted over white and not meant for outdoor use. It had seen better days. My new set looks like seating you’d find at a bougie outdoor French bistro. It’s cheerful and charming! The Balcony where I am recording today is my latest passion project and it has even inspired a new gardening hobby with 2 separate Raised Garden Beds, one in the Wealth Gua where I am sitting and one in my Reputation Gua to my left. These 2 Guas are adjacent and both live on my balcony. Think of the symbolism of planting the seeds of wealth and reputation and tending to my 2 gardens of opportunity! Healthy plants, and symbols of abundance help activate your Prosperity. The color purple represents abundance in Feng Shui so I have 4 Purple Amethysts strategically placed out here and the number 4 also activates this Gua. My Balcony Glow up has been a labor of love! In my raised garden beds I planted Rosemary, Parsley, cilantro, strawberries, Sunflowers, tomatoes, Lettuce, and basil. My favorite visual cue that I planted in the raised beds are my Sunflowers! Now, when you enter my home you see straight through the sliding glass doors in my living room out to the balcony bistro table and my tall Beautiful Sunflowers. It’s very inviting! Normally in Feng Shui you don’t want to see directly outside from the front door because it means your chi or Energy is immediately leaving rather than navigating the entire space and making itself at home. In this case it’s not leaving its just invited to visit my wealth Gua and spend some time there.But let’s not leave out the importance of the Fame & Reputation Gua which is adjacent to Wealth! I love roses so I planted a red rose bush in a stunning colorful Mexican planter there and red is the color that activates the Fame Gua! Fire is the element for this energy center so I have plenty of candles and red spectrum color. I also planted a baby Meyer lemon tree in another matching planter here. Wood element feeds fire element so it’s all working together. Anoth

The Feng Shui Glow Up
Hello & Welcome to The Feng Shui Money Couch where I talk about Feng Shui & other Woo. Today I am soft launching a new offering to my community.I have been practicing Feng Shui for 17 years and working with clients 1 on 1 with tremendous results. I’ve helped women like you make space for love and babies and greater abundance in their businesses.My client Camilla wanted to get married and was told by a previous Feng Shui Consultant her astrology reflected that she never would. After working with me to activate her love Gua with detailed Feng Shui adjustments she was engaged to be married within 6 weeks.My client Marguerite longed for her true love but instead had a string of abusive alcoholics and drug addicts as boyfriend’s. I pointed out that she had a bar in her love Gua reflecting and magnetizing this pattern. She moved the bar and activated her love gua and in less than a month she met her husband. They have 2 beautiful daughters. They also happen to be one of the most aspirational relationships I have ever witnessed.My client Kristen had me Feng Shui her hypnosis office where she saw clients and after she activated her fame and career Guas, her practice grew by more than 30 percent.I know Feng Shui works wonders!I thought I was living and breathing Feng Shui until last last year when my mentor Kristina invited me to participate in an accelerated mastermind that incorporated some of the most powerful and sacred abundance and wealth adjustments that exist on the planet. I’m a Feng Shui practitioner, so pretty much every area of my home has been touched with intention and Feng Shui adjustments. That said, I felt like I had reached a plateau.I accepted her offer even though it came with a significant investment. I believe in consistently cultivating and growing my knowledge base and tool box. I knew the practices she would be sharing were only handed down through an oral tradition that came directly from Master Lin Yung the Buddhist Monk who brought Black Hat Feng Shui to the US. Through the mastermind, I learned and applied some of the most sacred wealth adjustments that exist on the planet and my whole world expanded.I began practicing:* something called The Cave of Brahma Meditation* a 27 day Bagua walk through adjustment* a brand new wealth adjustment that professor promised was 10x more powerful than any cure I had previously tried* a karma clearing meditation* Specific Mantras & Mudras* And I began syncing my business up with the new and full moon cycles.What happened really blew my mind.Within weeks, I received $9100 in unexpected cash, I was gifted a brand new car. I was able to buy all new furniture and pay of my debt, I even met a soulmate after being celibate for 2 years. The final breakthrough came as the biggest surprise which was how my circumstances and finances dramatically shifted and I was able to move into my dream home with a pool, jacuzzi, a walk in closet, a gorgeous view and most importantly really good Feng Shui! All things that had been on my vision board for years!My investment totally paid off. I made it back several times over. I wasn’t the only one in the mastermind with huge breakthroughs. Everyone experienced miracles!Hafsa received a Multimillion Dollar Loan for her Glamping business.Jaime saved her Marriage and multiplied her retail business.Molly went from 2000 followers to 20,000 and exponentially grew her marriage counseling business.And here’s the thing - It wasn’t just a one-time windfall of money. My luck has steadily been growing and evolving and building with new friendships, opportunities, communities, collaborations, investments in my business infrastructure, a support team etc.These amazing results happened for me because I was practicing the most sacred and powerful adjustments in Community at an accelerated pace alongside a powerful group of women who were accountable to each other and linked up with the new and full moon energy cycles. Masterminds are Magical!The idea of Masterminds became popularized by Napoleon Hill in his groundbreaking book on manifesting called Think and Grow Rich, where he explored the habits of exceptionally wealthy individuals. Masterminds benefit from the Maharishi effect. A term coined by the TransendentalMeditation movement who would send Groups of meditators to meditate on peace in war zone and the fighting would cease. It speaks to how when 2 or more people focus on a particular intention or goal and together their cumulative powers amplify and accelerate the manifestation of that goal. Similar principle applies in

The Moving Glow Up Strategy!
Hello & Welcome to The Feng Shui Money Couch where I share Feng Shui Wisdom & Other Woo! My name is Laura Carrillo aka The Feng Shui Lady. Today I am sharing The Moving Glow Up Strategy!Moving is a complete reality reset.A Feng Shui Consultant can be your Conscious Guide & Midwife to your new Life.Feng Shui is one of the most Powerful Tools and Strategies for Moving your home or business successfully and maximizing and activating your highest timeline.You can step into a whole new life with an empowered sense of your own story and main character energy. Feng Shui allows you to story board your life and curate your ideal personal narrative.For Thousands of years Feng Shui was the exclusive strategy of the Royals & the Elite Class. Think Generational Wealth. Feng Shui is a success strategy.I used to move every few years when I was in my twenties and thirties. But up until last year, I hadn’t moved in about 13 years. I was due for a new level of expansion.Last year my whole world transformed when I moved and since then my whole life has up-leveled on every measure. My health, my love life, my car, almost every piece of furniture in my home, my actual home and most recently my circle of friends and influence.This time last year I was in a completely different reality & trajectory. I don’t even recognize my life. The catalyst of change and growth started with change itself. Strategic shifts informed by Feng Shui. I rearranged and replaced almost everything in my former home and I deliberately activated all 9 guas and energetic themes from Love & Relationships to Money and Career! That’s when my life circumstances suddenly and dramatically shifted. I was moved to go in a wholly unexpected and to be honest unplanned direction. The universe delivered a perfect storm for a dramatic move closer to family!First my mom passed away, then my brother fell ill and then my father became erratic, frail and vulnerable. I left LA after 18 years under duress. My family needed me and my hand was forced. Duty called so I answered.I moved a few miles from where I had endured my not so pleasant formative high school years. Close enough to family to be there for them while simultaneously being close enough to Laguna Beach to have access to a woo community.I should mention that when you make shifts in your environment especially drastic ones, the universe will respond with massive changes that don’t necessarily present themselves in an expected or even desirable manner. Not to fret because God works in mysterious ways. God or the Universe will get your attention one way or another. It helps to cultivate trust in the universe and take a wait and see approach to seemingly undesirable circumstances. Just know there’s a bigger picture and outcome you can’t yet see waiting for you. A blessing in disguise is behind every obstacle. The obstacle is actually the path. It helps to have a guide to walk you through the twists and turns. An energetic midwife.I can personally speak to the positive upswings in my career and social life which once I Feng Shui’d my new home began to unfold. Yet again however I experienced another tower moment with a break up. The relationship kept me tethered to LA in a way that no longer served me. I had to let go of my old life in its entirety to make space for my new one. I understand and can help others navigate this journey. I was not necessarily happy or comfortable when my tower moment came and I struggled with letting go but it was exactly what I needed. It allowed me to become fully present to my current environment.I understand and appreciate the journey of ascension such that I can help others navigate it. Ultimately the changes are for our highest good. I think it’s important to recognize and point out that change even good change requires some sacrifice and a period of uncertainty and discomfort. Your big reveal is always worth it though.When you shift your energy with Feng Shui, the universe delivers. Change can appear as undesirable on the face of it but trust and believe there is a higher plan and vision at play. You can make swift, strategic decisions and take actions utilizing FENG SHUI as a guide. That’s my medicine and my magic. I had a strategy that helped ground me in the midst of what felt like chaos and now I am here to help others navigate a reality reset!Moving is a major life change. It’s going from the known into the unknown. There’s a million decisions and details that need to be attended to. There’s a huge emotional component. Even in the best of circumstances, it’s one of the most stressful, physically demanding and chaotic times of your life. It can feel destabilizing. If you move somewhere where you don’t know a lot of people, it can also be a very lonely time when you actually need support the most. That was certainly my experience. I felt vulnerable and alone. I know that jour
