what museums, casinos, and churches teach you about Feng Shui…
walk into a museum and what do you see? my guess is probably not just the art; you likely note the amount of open space. from the high ceilings to the wide berth between the masterpieces to the open galleries and minimal distractions.
it’s all designed to help your mind expand and focus, and the art isn’t fighting for your attention. it’s framed with space and scale in mind so you can fully take it in.
now, let’s step into a casino. you’re surrounded by flashing lights and chiming machines. there are no clocks. no clear exit signs. why? everything here is designed to keep you inside so you will spend more of your time, energy, and (most of all) money. this, too, is by design.
think about a church. maybe there are stained glass windows filtering the light. the pews are aligned in rows facing one pulpit. the setup conveys that one person leads the room. it caters to reverence and reflection. it also communicates the feeling of being part of something larger.
how about an Apple store? minimalism. space. a tech temple, if you will. you feel *cooler* just being there. and again, that’s the power of intentional spatial design.
consider a luxury hotel. from the oversized floral arrangements to low lighting and plush textures, it’s not just about the amenities. it’s an environment that tells your nervous system to EXHALE, even before you have checked in.
so, what do all these spaces have in common?
they’re designed with intention. each one is built to influence how you feel, how long you stay, what you think, what you do.
which leads me to your takeaway here: no space is truly neutral.
wherever you are, the space around you is either supporting your decisions or sabotaging them. it’s either energizing your goals or draining your motivation.
and on that note, let’s bring this full circle to your space: your home. your office. your daily backdrop.
it’s shaping you, whether you realize it or not.
the good news is you don’t have to leave it up to chance.
you can learn how to shape your space on purpose.
we are having a summer school run over in my course, and it begins June 12th. inside Become Your Own Feng Shui Consultant, you will learn how to read your environment like a pro and make aligned, high-impact shifts that support the life you actually want.
no guesswork. no renovating. just an intentional transformation by design.
