I want more…
I talk a lot about how our homes influence us 24/7 – our thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and decisions.
which means…our home is very much in on our habits, our conversations, and our routines.
so, before we roll into that new year ambition (2027 is peeking ‘round the corner, babes), how about a reframe:
what if you gave your house a taste of what you want MORE of now?
and before you think “oh, I have to go buy something” or rearrange your whole house, pivot to the idea of ‘practicing’ the energy you want to embody instead.
if you…
want more connection? invite people over. host dinner, coffee, cocktails, cards – give your home the experience of bringing people together.
want more wealth? prepare a beautiful meal. use the stove, set the table, serve more than enough. let your house relish in that abundance.
want more visibility? turn on the lights. open the curtains. light the candles. spend time in the rooms at the front of your house (which is the more ‘yang’ part of our home). let yourself and your home bask in the light!
want more opportunity? use your front door deliberately. tidy it up. open it often. add a little energetic catnip around it – salt, cinnamon, rose petals, or coins. come and go through it instead of defaulting to the garage. this will have your home nurturing that inevitability!
want more creativity? make something without needing it to be good. arrange flowers. paint for the sake of painting. write that first page. try a complicated recipe. create more than you consume so you give your home evidence that new ideas are born here!
want more love? leave a little room: an empty hanger, space on the nightstand, an extra chair at the table. you don’t need to ‘stage’ an imaginary partner – let your home suggest your life has room to expand.
want more momentum? finish something you’ve been putting off. hang the picture. return the package. replace the lightbulb. schedule the appointment. completion generates velocity.
want more joy? be slightly ridiculous at home. bring home a birthday cake…even though it’s not your birthday! place a disco ball where the sun will ‘see’ it. turn the music up too loud. light every candle you own at once. your house see you enjoying your life.
want more courage? put something you’ve been hiding on display: your art. your writing. the weird thing you love. the photograph where you feel sexy – meow! practice being unapologetically visible at home first.
want more ease? put the coffee cups by the coffee. move the hamper to where your clothes actually land. keep the scissors where you always need the scissors. let your house cooperate with you.
and my favorite…
want more magic? create something in your house that serves absolutely no practical purpose. a tiny altar. a secret message written inside a drawer that you see every time you open it. a little bell you ring when something excellent happens. a bowl filled with wishes, predictions or desired fortunes.wonder is useful, too.
I know shui tends to sometimes come across as rigid energy reading, but at its heart, this wisdom is about orchestrating the life you want working with your home, so…
give your home a taste of the life you’re craving – and make sure you participate right alongside her.
this is very much inspired by the conversations we have inside The Simple Shui Course. all my years of studying, practicing, and working with comes down to this:
shui is way less about “where to put something” or “which remedy to use” and way more about exploring the influences exerting themselves already – and possible tweaks, changes, and pivot twists you can make!
we wrapped all the live module sessions earlier this month, but right now is a particularly delicious time to come in because…
all 12 live teaching sessions are waiting for you on replay through the end of the year.
and BIG news…
in 2027, I’m introducing two new features to The Simple Shui Course: monthly topic-led Office Hours and HOUSE CALL, our new closed-circuit chat, into the course. (and yes, with all of that goodness coming in, the price of TSSC will be going up.)
so, if you’ve been wondering when to start, consider this your loving nudge to make today that day!
