Where We Keep

The Shui Simple

SIMPLE SHUI IS A MODERN-DAY, MISSION-DRIVEN, LOVE-BASED^© PRACTICE OF FENG SHUI.

What we experience in life is often reflected energetically in our surroundings. When we change what’s happening around us in a positive way, we reconfigure what happens in our lives as well. Simple Shui is my approach to curating and living a good life.

you say you want to Feng Shui?

here are my go-to basics that work almost whenever and wherever.

need more? want more? I have a course for that – Become Your Own Feng Shui Consultant! (check out the link in my bio.)

no. 1: clear the clutter. go for a drawer, a closet, a nook…just get started.

no. 2: replace or fix anything damaged, leaking, clogged, squeaking, burned out, dead, or broken. these can suggest / represent “hang-ups” in life.

no. 3: open the windows when the weather allows. it is like a changing of the guard, allowing the old out and welcoming in the new.

no. 4: make your front door (or entry) inviting. energy goes where attention goes.

no. 5: clean your stove and everything around it. your stove and oven represent prosperity, so keep them sparkling clean and use the burners as much as possible.

no. 6: splurge on fresh flowers or live plants for your space. these are powerhouses when it comes to their shui flex! Anything living in your space, as long as it is thriving, brings in natural vitality.

no. 7: keep things more than halfway full. this is a very simple way to signify abundance.

no. 8: stimulate all 5 senses within a space whenever possible. imagine a soft rug underfoot (touch), a scented candle burning (smell), a gorgeous bouquet of flowers (sight), a song you love playing softly (sound), and a cool drink close by (taste). when all 5 senses are nourished, your nervous system relaxes.

no. 9: use your space as a vision board that reminds you of personal, professional, or lifelong goals. Feng Shui is partially environmental metaphor – so, it is meant to keep you focused on what matters!

one of the Qs I hear most: how do I create ‘more

one of the Qs I hear most: how do I create ‘more’ abundance with Feng Shui?

even though there are no quick fixes without working on yourself, too, there are practical “within reach” triggers that – with your participation – can deliver delightful results. so, today, I want to share a few of my faves for shifting the energy of abundance in your favor, too!

no. 1: “tuck” coins around your home – this suggests having money on hand and more money coming in!

no. 2: work with the chi enhancers associated with money flow – like the Water element.

no. 3: (speaking of water), seal up any leaks. water symbolizes finances, so dripping faucets or leaky plumbing suggest money is “leaking” away.

no. 4: woo prosperity your way with a plant (or two!).

no. 5: get to know the areas of your home (hello, bagua map!) and then, put them to work for you. combine this with plants for even more money magic!

no. 6: make sure your house isn’t costing you money – sometimes, we simply have a feature in our home (like stairs across from the front door) that isn’t working in our favor.

no. 7: Yang your space up if you’re seeking more opportunities or wanting to strengthen what you’ve already got!

there are so many ways to increase the opportunities available for becoming wealthier, and the shifts / changes don’t need to be extravagant or complicated. so, grab an idea from this list, put it to work, and watch your money mindset and moola improve!

one of my favorite ways to play with the bagua is

one of my favorite ways to play with the bagua is working its *magic* while you sleep!

so, first things first…

stand at the foot of your bed and mentally divide your mattress into a tic-tac-toe board.

your Wealth area will be the top left-hand corner of your bed.

your Love area will be the top right-hand corner of your bed.

your Career area will be at the foot of your bed, smack dab in the middle.*

and now for the fun part...

here a few of my favorite “remedies” to work with using the mattress:

TIP ONE: if you want to drum up a little more income (or opportunity for making money), place nine bills (whatever value / denomination you prefer) in a red envelope. put this under your mattress in the Wealth area, and it’ll suggest you’re making money while you sleep!

TIP TWO: if you want to call in a relationship or turn up the romance on yours, take two rose quartz crystals and place them under your mattress in the Love / Relationship area.

TIP THREE: want to get ahead professionally, maybe even trigger a salary raise? place either your business card in the Career area under your mattress, or tie a black ribbon around a new bill (whatever value / denomination you prefer) and place it in the same spot!

the bagua is a FABULOUS way to entice energy your way, so if you want to learn SP MUCH MORE, watch for my course sale – it's happening next week!

the price goes down for a few days before it goes up for the new year, so don’t sleep on this one! xo

(*the energy mapping in this post is based on BTB shui, so Compass will read differently: Wealth – Southeast; Love – Southwest; Career – North.)

fill a small bowl with uncooked rice and bury 3, 6

fill a small bowl with uncooked rice and bury 3, 6, or 9 coins in the rice. (I am working with large I-Ching coins here, but any coins work!)

place the rice bowl in the Wealth corner of your office. (your Wealth corner is the back left-hand corner of your office from the door, OR it is the South east corner of your office.)

set the intention that your Wealth (which is more than money – it is the abundance of connections, network, and opportunities) will grow.

leave it out for (at least) 27 days. feel free to leave it out longer!

want to take this a step further? write a specific wish with red ink on a piece of paper, put it in a red envelope, and place the envelope underneath the rice bowl.

rice has been symbolic of prosperity for thousands of years and dates back to shui’s agrarian roots. when harvest was plentiful, there was an abundance of food for the family. and if a family had plenty of food, they were strong and healthy, which meant they could work hard and prosper. this ritual pulls from that meaning and symbolism.

on that note, remember no shui tip is a short-cut – especially if you’re working with shui as a quick financial fix. instead, opportunities will knock. so, when the knock comes to the door, your response is DO THE WORK that shows up.

shui reliably triggers opportunity and lends a helping hand, but it does not do the work for you. your effort is always a necessary and required ingredient when working with shui! xo
