I totally get it. I’m a Feng Shui consultant and you want me to move energy by moving your furniture. Sure, I can totally do that. I’m happy to focus on the energy of your environment and see what is flowing, and what’s not. But what I discovered in doing this work with clients for years is that your home can only amplify what’s already moving inside you.
Your environment is a mirror. It shows you what’s happening beneath the surface.
When your personal energy is aligned, your space hums like a….Ferrari (not sure if that’s a good reference since this native NYer doesn’t even know how to drive. But I think you get my drift!) When your personal energy is stuck, even the most beautifully arranged room can feel flat.
Every person has their own energetic rhythm – a natural flow that changes with the years, months and even days. Some days everything seems to click, when others feel like pushing through fog. That isn’t random. It’s your elemental makeup at work.
When you understand your personal energy through tools like Chinese astrology, it stops being about fixing your space and starts being about listening to yourself so you can live your optimal life. You realize your environment is always responding to YOU, not the other way around.
This season I’ve felt a shift too. My energy feels slower and is moving inward, toward Yin. My life reflects that with gentler light at home, longer mornings, fewer plans. Instead of forcing productivity, I’ve learned to follow what my energy is asking for. That’s how harmony happens, by looking at both the inner and the outer together.
Let’s take a minute to see how you are feeling in different parts of your life. From a scale of 1-10, at this moment in time, how fulfilled do you feel in these areas of your life? Use the feeling scale below and be sure to note it down somewhere.
0 = life is sucky , and 10 = girl, I got this.
- Abundance
- Fame / reputation
- Relationships / feminine energy
- New beginnings
- Health
- Joy
- Completing projects
- Spirituality / knowledge on how to handle things
- Career / opportunities
- Benefactors
I say, measure, always measure. Because measuring is the first step on the road to transformation. I promise.
There’s nothing else for you to do with this information. Just be aware. Sometimes we go through life sleep walking, but not you. It’s a trite but powerful saying: it ALL starts with awareness.
Next week I’ll share a story of someone who experienced this alignment firsthand and how everything started to change once she connected the two, her energy and her environment. Stay tuned! xo
