For the most part, when I work with clients and exist out in the world, I try to keep my language as jargon-free as possible, as it often creates a belief barrier that an energetically-uplifting and intentional home is not for everyone. (It is absolutely for everyone and benefits all humanity.) It also can be a little bit of a bore, like you just want to watch the movie, not understand how every frame was shot. That said, I am a Feng Shui practitioner and my understanding of the environment is often viewed through the lens of the principles of that and having a shared lexicon makes it easier to navigate some of these deep dives together.

So as a starting point in bridging the gap between the ethereal Feng Shui masters of another dimension and your every day life, here is my take on a few terms of this discipline.

The ancient 5 element cycle used throughout the branches of Traditional Chinese Medicine to understand the flow of energy can be identified in everything you are, and everything you see, experience, and create in the universe. Each element has recognizable properties that can be applied to our unique needs and desires in ways that completely shift the flow of energy and light up our lives!

When we're feeling depleted, lonely, stuck, dull, disconnected, foggy in our brains and bodies...nature always has a solution. In this 22 min video, I'm talking about how to enlist the nourishing, fortifying support of nature--via the 5 Elements-- to lean into the life on your own terms, according to what your body really needs, with resilience and clarity for all. 

Let's create a powerful magnet to attract more love and abundance to your life, layering one beautiful intention on top of another in physical form.

The intention is what matters, but by making that intention into something you can experience with your senses, you are reminded of it constantly, subconsciously, which is how you--all of us--operate about 95% of the time. Our habits and practiced beliefs run the show and give our prefrontal cortex time to rest or work on others things we're undecided on. 

This is not different from keeping your gym equipment where you can see and access it readily if you have an intention to work out more. In this case, you're preparing your environment for love and abundance and telling your mind to get to work creating more evidence for it with repetitions. Lift more weights at the gym, get stronger. Live in the frequency of love more, become more loving and attract more love. 

With this magnet, you're stating that you believe it exists and that it's available to you and we always get more of what we expect!

So are you ready to prepare your environment for more love and tell the universe you know it exists for you?! Let's do it!

Ingredients you'll need to make the love magnet:

• a clean (no labels!), clear jar of any size (the jar you select will determine the amounts you need of each of the other ingredients)
• salt for grounding and purifying your space (I'm using pink salt because pink is romantic! and i have it on hand, but you can use any kind)
  
• dried orange peel calls in health, cheer, and joy
• rosemary, a purifier, calls in clarity and prosperity and is great for fresh starts
• a red rose, pointing outward, calls in love and passion

How is a simple thing like trash can placement affecting your space?

Feng Shui is a wonderful practice for bringing mindfulness and intention to your space. Even when you are not able to strictly adhere to the ideal version of every concept or principle, being aware and conscientious about your space will raise the vibration of it--and you-- through the application of your loving attention.
