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.

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

one of my clients hit some turbulence recently in

(note: save this now and come back to it at the start of the year...)

in Feng Shui, the color red is associated with good fortune, prosperity and happiness.

it is also symbolic of blood, which is why it is often linked to vitality and life force.

this color also stimulates good chi and expels inauspicious energy.

and because it is the hue associated with Fire, we can deliberately work with it to rev up courage and confidence – the kind that gets noticed! (hello, bold red lip!)

so, if you’re in the mood to stir up a few lucky opportunities, red is the gal to get you warmed up and ready for action.

you might…

splurge on a few bundles of crimson flowers and punctuate your space with this “red-iness”!

woo the sizzle (back) into your love life with a pair of red candles in the bedroom.

write your goals in red ink, and place a pointed quartz crystal on top of them. (this combo amplifies their energy and expedites their fruition.)

work with the 9 red tea light candles ritual to fire up and draw attention your way. (you can find those instructions over in my reels.)

place 9 coins in a red envelope, and put them under the front door mat to symbolize money walking into your life.

and if you really want to glam it up, grab a few red ribbons (I encourage ribbons measured out in an increment of 9 – like, 9 centimeters or inches) and tie them to your indoor plant or tree branches. just be sure to do this with a corresponding intention so that this “ornamentation” is working in your favor! xo

in last week’s episode of House Therapy, it’s

in last week’s episode of House Therapy, it’s all about gathering around the table (with a dose of shui!)…

and we start with a quick look at how the shape of your table introduces its own energy to a meal!

a square table is Earthy, so it offers more stability.

a rectangular table invites the element Wood, so it will lend to a more energizing conversation. there are also two heads of the table spots, so you can use those to your advantage (if needed).

round and oval tables tend to suggest the energy of heaven and harmony, bringing people *round.*

for any of these shapes, I highly recommend using a tablecloth (for those holiday and bigger gathering meals) to (1) soften those table edges on your square and rectangular tables, especially if they are sharp corners; and (2) absorb any pesky vibes that might pop up unexpectedly over those meals!

I am sharing so much more about dressing the table, so be sure to give the episode a listen (available wherever you subscribe to your favorite podcasts!)…

and stay tuned because I am working on a special collab with @hosted.bykg – and you’ll be getting a peek at my holiday table SOON-ish! xo
