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.

I could recommend stacks of *must reads* when it comes to shui — and these ones are always in this mix:

Make This Your Lucky Day | if I scrolled way, way back through my amazon history, this would be the first shui book I ever bought, and Ellen’s rituals for shui-making-success are now everyday protocol here at simple shui.

Fast Feng Shui | do you like to-the-point tips, prefer lists, and appreciate the basics? Stephanie is your girl. I bought ALL her books back in those early years and worked them to the bone.

Feng Shui and Health: The Anatomy of a Home | I call this book the Feng Shui Bible, and I know I am not the only one! the good news: this book won’t sound like anything else you read. the bad news: this book won’t sound like anything else you read. it took me several reads (with a couple years in between each) before I felt confident with her wisdom in my hands, and each read was absolutely worth it!

168 Feng Shui Ways to Energize Your Life | there are so many reasons I LOVE this book, but my favorite is I can cherry pick my shui based on what I need/want, and who doesn’t want more of that FUN in their lives?

3 books that aren’t shui specific, but I recommend just as highly:

Braiding Sweetgrass | Robin Wall Kimmerer uses the natural world as metaphor to reveal the guidance we so desperately need can be found within the plants and among animals. my biggest takeaway: ALL FLOURISHING IS MUTUAL.

Joyful | “the power of the aesthetics of joy is that they speak directly to our unconscious minds, bringing out the best in us without our even being aware of it.” if you want to infuse your home with JOY, this is the book for you! (and no surprise here, she interviews a shui practitioner for her research.)

Atomic Habits | one of my favorite lines in this book: “motivation is overrated, environment often matters more.” I could go on and on and on and on about this book – instead, I will tell you this: Chapter 6 “gets” Feng Shui!

rounding out the list…

Simple Shui for Every Day | the cherry 🍒 on top – 365 ways to Feng Shui your life, and they’re simple, straightforward and smart! this is the book I would’ve LOVED when I was starting out! xo

from sweeping away negativity to igniting energy w

from sweeping away negativity to igniting energy with candles, here are my five must-have elements that’ll elevate your space and your life! 🧹🔥🌿🌸🍃

MUST-HAVE ONE: a broom! whether you’re at a crossroads or just want to keep your energy upright, sweeping will change the air around you. if you aren’t sure where to sweep, 3 words: your front door! I promise this one ritual will usher little synchronicities your way!

MUST-HAVE TWO: salt has been a *rock* star here for a long while! it is used around the world as a purifying agent, so you are in good company keeping it at the ready in your home.

MUST-HAVE THREE: candles – and something I *might* be guilty of hoarding! our ancestors communed around a fire because it provided safety and warmth. and while modern-day circumstances have changed, our love for fire and its magic still runs deep. in some circles, fire is believed to have a trance-like effect, so I will often light a candle before starting a new project!

MUST-HAVE FOUR: fresh blooms and fruit – c’mon, you know these have to make this list! the higher the vibrational quality around us, the better we roll with life. and anything freshy fresh has the most robust and immediate effects for turning blahs into BOO-YAHS! take a page straight from my routine: fresh flower runs on Friday and fresh fruit refreshments weekly.

MUST-HAVE FIVE: green chi, baby! you’ve likely heard plants are “good Feng Shui.” the most universal reason: plants refresh a room by literally improving the air around us. however, their magic goes beyond respiration. when a plant is healthy, chances are so are its roots! this is symbolic of nurturing what we see and don’t see – and it’s why plants are often related to wealth in Feng Shui. one healthy plant can represent a calm security that the good life (health, wealth, and people to enjoy those with!) will keep growing in your life!

I consider shui the ultimate self-hospitality, where the design of our home is focused on living a life that feels good instead of living one that simply looks good. and for me, living my best life has everything to do with LOVE!

our home and belongings influence who we are – consistently impressing our thoughts, feelings, moods and behaviors – all of which lead to our decisions and outcomes. this is precisely why what happens around us is often mirrored in our life experiences.

it is also why our home has had such a profound GLOW UP since we moved in for-like-ever ago.

so.

look around your house.

what are your things expressing?

how does that conversation make you feel?

are your intentions noticeable in the room?

do you have at least one thing in every room you LOVE?

what is one thing you can move around to give LOVE better visibility in your space?

remember, nothing changes if we don’t make changes.

so, here’s the invitation:

wake up your house with the presence of what you want from life.

and if you want to learn the WHY behind all the changes I made in our home, it’s time to join my *Become Your Own Feng Shui Consultant* course – on sale through Friday with the code POWERHOUSE! (if you drop me a 😘, I’ll send you the direct link!) xo

here are my favorite alternatives to the sacred wh

here are my favorite alternatives to the sacred white sage bundle so often reached for when cleansing energy:

LAVENDER | well-known for cleansing, purifying, and imparting tranquility and LOVE. did you know that men are particularly attracted to lavender? add sachets of it to your drawers or anoint yourself with a little oil if you’re looking for LOVE.

CINNAMON | a powerhouse for bringing money, wealth, and prosperity into your life. using it at the front door can actually help remove energetic blocks that prevent money (income and customers) from coming in.

ROSE | magic and wisdom and LOVE, all bound into one bloom. it’s a mighty tonic when we need to either / both give and receive LOVE to / from others and ourselves.

ROSEMARY | this magical herb cleanses, improves mental clarity, stokes courage, offers protection, and enhances money luck. add to that rosemary helps clear away negative energy – especially the “poor me” chatter that disrupts your thought process – and you might notice your money mindset and moola improving!

BASIL | stimulates LOVE, prosperity, and happiness. basil also helps instill harmony within a home. it creates a sympathetic vibration (softening any disagreeable tempers), which then allows negativity to move along.

CLOVES | lucky you, this is high season for cloves! simmer them on the stove to attract money into your life. (btw, my book has a couple clove recipes!)

LOVE these recipes and rituals? if YES, you’ll LOVE my shui course (on sale right now with the code POWERHOUSE) at the link in my bio! xo

one of my favorite ways to LOVE up on our home is

one of my favorite ways to LOVE up on our home is to give every room one WOW factor – this animates the space and lifts its confidence almost immediately!

I have a few “moves” I keep on repeat — folding in one of my favorite mists from @studiosandoval — so let one (or all) of them nudge you to do the same!

no. 1: I typically start the day here with a signature scent, and the easiest way of all to do this is with a house spray you LOVE!

no. 2: I’m a BIG advocate for keeping passion on display in a home – and if I can see / read the word LOVE, it feels like a BONUS points *win* for the room!

no. 3: I spritz our linens and closets with a little LOVE, keeping those corners and nooks as revitalized as the rest of our house!

no. 4: speaking of sheets, I LOVE giving our bedding a light LOVE misting — “programming” the room to stay in relaxation mode.

no. 5: all around our home, I strive to *keep company* with energy we adore – and I find supporting small businesses and their goods deliver exactly that! so, it absolutely delights me to invite that vision, hard work and manifestation into our home.

and now that there’s a little LOVE Aromatic Mist in the air, if you’re ready to add LOVE to your home rituals, head over to @studiosandoval and use SHUILOVE25 for some holiday savings on this collection! xo
