Exploring the bridge between healing and Feng Shui today. There was an audible gasp recently when during my presentation to the @londonschooloffengshui I brought up the notion that as you work on your inner needs and triggers that your desire for outside validation becomes less. I couldn’t get to them all, but the chat blew […]
Co-creating a Regulated Space Trauma-Informed Feng Shui Lovely human, let’s get right to it. Your nervous system drives the boat. Your nervous system (and your body) are set up to help you survive. It fluctuates on a regular basis during the day as you move through different experiences. But sometimes we get stuck in […]
Your Love Affair with Your Stuff As a Feng Shui practitioner I encounter people all the time who are relucant to have me in their home, or joke shamefully about how full their space is. There is a nervous tension in their voice when they talk about how somehow things got out of hand […]
I had a long and prophetic post planned, but I’ll keep it short because success in life is actually pretty easy. As like any year, this year had many changes. Change is really the only thing you can count on being constant–the glory is, you get to learn how to manage and react to that change. The more you sink into the truth of that change and things that happen often have little to do with you, the less reactive you will be. That takes consistent practice; it takes SOME KIND of consistent thing/action that allows you to be present and focused on one point of awareness. That can be meditation, swimming, running, mandala coloring, cooking, watching your breathing…..etc. You need some sort of one-pointed awareness to separate yourself from the noise and from your self narrative. So find something and do that as many times a week as you can.

I am now and forever adhering to this. (A former coworker led me to this quote) Authenticity and not stealing from myself (asteya) are priorities in 2022 and beyond. As I said in my new year’s post, there’s nothing to change. There’s nothing to “improve”. You’re not a participant in the comparison game of life. You are already more than enough and you are magically divine. By pursuing the “ideal happiness” or the “new you”, you get further away from the YOU you already are. You are already a lovable package the way you are. You need only to stop pursuing and look around at what you already have and what you already are.
