simple shui tip: get opportunity knocking!
when it comes to shui, sometimes its guidance and suggestions are a ‘one size fits all’; other times, there is more nuance involved than meets the eye – based on objectives and concerns. to give you an idea, I am sharing 5 suggestions pulled straight from 4 client reports, including a home consult; an office consult; a creative space consult; and a new home consult. take what works for you!
no 1: since your front door isn’t facing the street, you likely notice ‘getting opportunity to knock’ takes extra effort.
use your porch to create a visual bread crumb trail that pulls the eye toward the door. you can accomplish this by simply turning on the porch lights for a few hours every day. our subconscious looks for clues, like light. and light is immediately interpreted as safety, survival, and warmth – drawing us (and new energy) toward it.
no 2: trim the foliage that covers the front window on the right side of the house.
when landscaping blocks a window, it hampers our clarity. given its location (aligned with male head-of-household), it likely affects your husband’s outlook and energy most.
no 3: add an area rug to your front room.
this serves two purposes: it defines the space, removing it from the transactional vibe of the front door. it also grounds the space, so any furniture you bring in will feel more inviting and tempt guests and company to linger longer.
no 4: your workspace has a highly yang personality. the dominance of WOOD and FIRE fuel constant growth and the need to be ‘on.’ this could eventually lead to burnout or boredom. so, as you make changes in your office, consider those that favor EARTH and WATER expressions. an elementally-sustainable space nourishes our nervous systems – and when our nervous system relaxes, our best stuff flows out!
no 5: sprinkle a few grains of sea salt around the periphery of your home, creating an energetic dome. this ritual claims the space as yours and establishes a detour for any negative energy that might come your direction. xo
