    are you waiting for a free weekend, a shopping lis are you waiting for a free weekend, a shopping list of remedies, or a perfectly organized house to shui?

sometimes, all you got is 5 minutes — am I right? 

sometimes, you know it’s time to roll up your sleeves and give it your afternoon.

and sometimes, the most ‘shui’ thing you can do is stand still long enough to notice where your house needs you the most.

that last part? that’s the skill.

after 20+ years of doing this work, I have never walked into a house thinking, “how much can we change?”

I’m *always* looking for 1-2 shifts or changes that what will make the most noticeable, felt difference.

and once you learn how to see your home that way, you can do a LOT with whatever time you have.

if you’d like to learn how to read your own home this way, that’s exactly what we practice inside *The Simple Shui Course*. ✨ xo
    no. 1: your front door matters first because befor no. 1: your front door matters first because before we look at almost anything else, we gotta know: how chi is getting in and being greeted.

no. 2: energy moves through your life like it moves through your home. blocked, rushed, meandering, supported – this is where the parallels to your life become uncanny!

no. 3: your bedroom tells me a lot about how you care for yourself. and I do not mean your taste, your budget, or some type of splurge. I am looking at your relationship with rest, privacy, pleasure and receiving.

no. 4: your energy is the average of the room you love most *and* the one you avoid. both rooms tell me everything. 

no. 5: dramatic architecture can create dramatic chi. high ceilings, sharp angles, split levels, long hallways, giant windows – all of it can be beautiful *and* still have energetic consequences. 

no. 6: clutter and a perfectly staged home can be opposite expressions of the same thing: control.

and by the way… more isn’t automatically “bad” shui. less isn’t automatically “good” shui.
 
no. 7: a home feels most alive when you can see who lives there. yep, one of the most surefire ways to make a house feel alive is letting it unmistakably belong to you.

no. 8: everything is metaphorical.

want to see for yourself?

pick a room, and now pick a corner. describe that corner in 3-5 words. (scroll to the bottom to read the rest…)

no. 9: your home is a living, breathing member of the family. instead of treating it like a seasonal acquaintance – something you deal with on an as-needed basis – start doing something nice for yours just because… trust me, this is the uplevel you’ve been looking for!

✨BONUS✨: oh, those 3-5 words? add “I am…” in front of them. if you LOVE the way you just described yourself, go forth and replicate that energy in spots you don’t LOVE. if you don’t LOVE the description, get curious about what you would LOVE your space to say about you – and then make a few changes accordingly! xo
    a house that feels good to live in is my bar for a a house that feels good to live in is my bar for any notion of ‘good’ shui.

so when I ‘read’ a home, there are a few things I note immediately...

I am curious whether the front door gets used…

I pay attention to what catches my eye when I walk in…

does it feel like life happens in the kitchen…

I want to know where everyone hangs out....

I listen for sounds – a bell on the door, music playing, the wind rustling trees outside.
 
can I discern what feels loved in the home…
 
and most of all, whether the house tells me anything about the people who live there.

shui didn’t come from a textbook, so you don’t need to take that approach either. it’s about creating a home that feels alive, supportive, interesting, personal and unmistakably yours.

which means…

the things often doing the most in your house are the things you’d never find on a shui checklist. xo
    when a space starts feeling more dull than dazzle, when a space starts feeling more dull than dazzle, I like to disturb what’s gotten a little too lethargic and give the chi its panache back! 

a few of my house favorites:

😁 SMILE. a genuine smile shifts your energy first, and then you bring that electricity into the room with you.

✨MOVE 27 THINGS. big things, little things, doesn’t matter. move the chair; restyle the shelf; relocate the stack. all of it is energy revival 101.

🧹SWEEP. out with the old, in with the new – and perhaps the most practical magic I’ll ever share.

👏 CLAP YOUR HANDS. walk clockwise through the room, clapping into its corners agitating whatever chi has moseyed in them and overstayed its welcome.

🩷SAY SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL. words are energy, too, so compliment your home. say thank you. say things that make you LIGHT UP and your space will feel lighter, too!

🪟OPEN A WINDOW. let the outside in. fresh air has a way of recalibrating a room faster than we expect.

🧂GET SALTY. sprinkle salt around the perimeter, across thresholds and into corners where energy tends to collect. leave it for 24 hours, then sweep it up and dispose of it.

💨 SMOKE CLEANSE. incense, herbs or resin – whatever you’ve got will work. open the windows first and then move intentionally through the space, letting the smoke scrub and move along anything that isn’t playing along! xo
    clearing a space is one thing; knowing what to do clearing a space is one thing; knowing what to do with all that minty fresh energy you’ve created? that’s just as important!

*The Simple Shui Course* is filled with these conversations because there’s the action, and then there’s the intention after the action.

and knowing how to work with both? that’s where your shui gets its wings!

there’s plenty to sink your teeth into right now, too — I taught all 12 modules live this year, and the replays are ripe for a binge! grab the link in bio to get started! xo
