In my work, I often reference Feng Shui elements because they really do pertain to our daily lives.
For example, the Autumn season is represented by Metal and Metal is all about communication.
In working with clients this past year, what came up more than anything were communication concerns. (And it’s no mistake that our communication malas are one of the best sellers!)
Is there any place where you could be speaking up more and being more communicative?

3 Ways to Tap into Your Metal Energy for Powerful Communication
1. Add metal accents into your home
Metal can be introduced in the home in many ways and at different price points. Fun, small objects like the ones below can make your home fun, but also be a reminder to use your power of communication. Psst – a disco ball can work too!

3. Have that difficult conversation that you’ve been meaning to address
We are moving into holiday time so these opportunities abound! Just remember to breathe, ground yourself before the conversation and most importantly, focus on what your intended outcome is for the conversation. Here are some other tips:
- Be emotionally present
- Clarify the problem
- Stay on task
- Affirm and validate
- Apologize for your part of the problem
- Avoid “shoulds”
- Be specific
- Tell people what you want
Your turn!
How are you showing up and speaking your truth? Is it an easy or difficult thing for you to approach?
