✨NEW PODCAST EPISODE: WHAT ARE THE FLYING STARS IN FENG SHUI? ✨

“Did you know the energy in your home changes every year? In Classical Feng Shui, the Flying Stars help us understand which areas may be more supportive and which may need a little extra attention.”

One of the things I love about Feng Shui is how it helps us look beyond what we can see and explore the changing energy patterns within our homes.

In this week's episode of The Holistic Place Podcast, I'm explaining the Flying Stars in a simple, easy to understand way, even if you're completely new to Feng Shui.

I cover:

- What the Flying Stars actually are
- Why every home has its own unique energy map
- The difference between permanent, annual and monthly stars
- How the five elements are used to help balance and support the energy of a space

The Flying Stars are used to understand the changing energy patterns within your home, why every property has its own unique energy map, and how we can work with these energies to create a more harmonious environment.

🎧 Tune in and discover a little more about the energy of your home.

✨New podcast episode release ✨

YOUR HOME AND BODY ARE SPEAKING TO YOU - The hidden clues your body and home may be giving you

Have you ever noticed that you're constantly carrying tension in your shoulders?

That you're feeling overwhelmed and exhausted?

Or that clutter seems to gather in exactly the same place in your home, no matter how often you clear it?

Sometimes, we're so busy getting on with life that we don't stop to notice what's happening around us or within us.

After more than 20 years working holistically, I've become fascinated by the patterns we can begin to notice when we slow down and pay attention. In my latest episode of The Holistic Place Podcast, I'm looking at the connection between our bodies, our homes and our wellbeing.

In this episode, I cover:

✨Why it's important to listen to your body.

✨ How to recognise when you might be carrying too much.

✨What recurring clutter and maintenance issues can prompt us to reflect on.

✨ How Feng Shui connects different areas of your home with different aspects of life.

✨Affirmations and simple ways to bring more balance into your everyday environment.

This isn't about assuming that every ache or broken item has a hidden meaning. It's about becoming more aware, looking after ourselves and noticing where we might need to make a change.
Because sometimes, the most helpful thing we can do is pause and ask ourselves:
“What needs my attention right now?”

In Feng Shui, different areas of your home relate to different aspects of life.

One simple way to work with this is to place an affirmation in an area that reflects something you'd like to nurture.

✨ CAREER & LIFE DIRECTION — NORTH

“I attract positive work environments and positive opportunities in my life.”

✨ WEALTH & ABUNDANCE — SOUTHEAST

“Abundance flows to me easily and effortlessly in expected and unexpected ways.”

✨ LOVE & RELATIONSHIPS — SOUTHWEST

“I experience happy, healthy, loving relationships in my life.”

✨ HEALTH & WELLBEING — CENTRE

“I am strong, I am well and healthy, and full of vitality and energy.”

✨ RECOGNITION & CONFIDENCE — SOUTH

“I am proud of myself and deserving of success and recognition.”

Choose one that resonates with you, write it on a small piece of paper and place it somewhere you'll see it.

When you pass it, take a moment to read it and reconnect with the intention behind the words.

It's a simple way to bring more mindfulness into your everyday environment.

✨New Podcast Episode Release✨

Words Are Your Wand - How to use your words, affirmations and Feng Shui to shift your energy.

Have you ever caught yourself saying, “Nothing ever goes right for me,” “It's always one thing after another,” or “I knew something else would go wrong”?

We all use phrases like these without necessarily realising how often we say them. But what happens when we start paying attention to the words we use every day?

In this episode I discuss the power of everyday language, how our words can influence our thoughts and expectations, and how making small changes to the way we speak can help us approach situations differently.

Your words are your wand. The way you talk to yourself, the things you repeat and the stories you tell yourself can all influence how you feel and what you notice around you.

This isn't about pretending to be happy all the time or ignoring your emotions. It's about becoming more aware of your words, pausing when you need to and choosing a more helpful perspective.

I also share Feng Shui affirmations for the nine areas of your home, helping you bring more intention into your space and the areas of life you want to lift the vibration.

New moons are always about planting new intentions and resetting. ✨

This new moon is in Libra, which is all about balancing the scales and working with fairness.

This New Moon also falls on the 10/10 portal. It’s like the new moon is supporting your desires. This is a good time for:
• Recentering
• Manifesting
• Looking inward
• Resetting
• Redirecting

Here are 10 tips of some small things you can to help enhance this energy. 🥰

Declutter one small area – this helps to make room for a new opportunity to enter your life

Reflect and set intentions – Spend a few minutes writing down what you would like to bring into your life, what are you intentions for the rest of the year?

Go outside and spend time in nature – You can see the change in the season and this reflects the change in us. Being outside (even if it is for 10mins) helps to centre and ground your energy.

Open your windows (even for a few minutes) and allow the fresh air to energise your space.

Do something for yourself, some self care. Have a coffee, take a bath, go for a walk. Something where you can be present in the moment.
Wipe down your front door. This is known as the mouth of Chi and where the energy enters your home. Also check for any cobwebs, dirt and have a nice welcome mat to welcome in this wonderful energy.

Make sure all the curtains and blinds are open in each room, this brings light and positive energy.

Fix anything that is broken or if you are not going to fix it, let it go. Old broken items can stall the energy as it flows around the home.

Clear any old dead leaves from plants, this is outside leading up to your entrance and also inside the home. This helps enhance the growth and transformation energy in the home.

Feng Shui means wind and water. To have “good” wind and “good water” (positive energy) in the home creates good health and a good harvest and abundance. Clear and throw away and old and out of date food.

🍂🌾As we welcome the Autumn Equinox energy, it is a great time for -

Reflection – How far have you come this year? What have you achieved, your relationships, your work, your growth? 🥰

Renewal – think about what no longer serves you and what can you let go of as the year winds down. Just as the trees lose their leaves. Energetically our bodies are releasing a lot and that can be tiring. Just take some time to pause and reset, take some for yourself. 💐

Restore – balance in holistic ways (mental, emotional, physical and spiritual). Make time for connection with yourself. Do you have the right boundaries in place? Are you on the right groups on social media or are you getting drained? Look at eating foods that are in season as they energise your body. Spend some in nature to balance and ground. 🌳

Also restore your connection to your home. Maybe clean and clear an area in your home that relates to the area in your life you want to move forward in.
This is why I love Feng Shui so much 💖 It really helps you get to know your home and build that relationship. Your home is there to support you

✨New Podcast Episode Release✨

“Feng Shui for Your Mobile Phone”📱
Small changes to your phone that can shift how your digital space feels.

Have you ever thought about the Feng Shui of your mobile phone? You may think about the energy of your home but not your phone…in this episode I talk about the device you probably pick up dozens of times a day.

Your phone is part of your environment too.
It holds your photos, messages, apps, memories, work, finances, conversations and so much more.

So what energy is your phone creating for you?
• Is it cluttered with apps you never use?
• Are constant notifications interrupting your energy and focus?
• Does your wallpaper reflect what you want to create in your life?
• Are there old messages, photos and contacts taking up space?
• Is your screen cracked or damaged?

In my latest episode of The Holistic Place Podcast, I'm sharing how you can use simple Feng Shui principles to give your mobile phone an energetic and practical reset.

You don't need to completely change the way you use your phone.
Sometimes it's the small changes that make the biggest difference.

This weekend I am teaching a Reiki Level 3a course. 🥰 One of my favourite things when teaching Reiki is at Level 1 when we go through the Reiki Principles - “Just for today”……💖

When you attend a Reiki 1 course, one the things you are taught the five Reiki principles. These are 5 different sayings that begin with just for today. I use these principles in my daily life, it really helps in challenging situations and it is also something I use with my daughters, friends, family and clients to help them in their life. I have the principles up around my home so we see them regularly.

They are simple to follow, the aim is that by using the principles it will help to balance to your emotions. It is important that you realise that you are not expected to live every moment of your life within these principles. We are human, and it’s natural to feel negative emotions and that is why each principle begins with “Just for today” so it helps you to focus on the present.
You can without pressure or stress work on using these principles daily (whether you have taken a Reiki 1 course or not). If you slip up today, don’t worry, you can always try again tomorrow. 💖
