Episode 300: How to Place Your Bed for Good Feng Shui

info@holisticspaces.com (Anjie Cho | Holistic Spaces) — Mon, 21 Oct 2024 09:00:00 +0000

We’ve talked a lot on this podcast about the bed and it’s symbolism in feng shui. There’s a reason for that — if we’re lucky, we’ll spend a third of our life in bed and from a feng shui perspective, it’s one of the simplest and most effective places to start when realigning the qi of our homes. From clearing space around your bed to the grounding stability of a headboard, proper bed placement is both an easy and profound way to begin creating a home in which the qi can flow freely to offer inspiration and peace. For our 300th (!!!) episode we are taking the longview on proper bed placement.

What we talk about in this episode:

-The command position

-Why we always want to make sure that our feet are not facing the door when in bed

-Creating space on both sides of the bed to allow a balance of yin and yang

-Which walls to place your bed against and which to avoid

info@holisticspaces.com (Anjie Cho | Holistic Spaces) — Mon, 18 Dec 2023 10:00:00 +0000

For episode 256, we are taking a look at the longest night of the year, as those of us in the Northern Hemisphere observe the Winter Solstice.

Discussed in the episode:

-How everything in the universe is made up of both yin and yang energy, as interdependent primordial forces in opposition

-The cool, quiet stillness of water qi

-Why this time of year is a good time to cultivate water energy and qi

Episode 243: Autumn Equinox, Decluttering with the Metal Element

info@holisticspaces.com (Anjie Cho | Holistic Spaces) — Mon, 18 Sep 2023 09:00:00 +0000

The Autumn Equinox is upon us and for this episode of the Holistic Spaces Podcast we are taking a look at the many different styles of decluttering based on the Five Elements. The process of clearing clutter can sometimes be very intense and overwhelming. What works best for one may prove challenging for another. Learning about your own style and how to work with it, rather than against it, is one of the best ways to approach decluttering in our opinion.

Discussed In This Episode:

-How it may be best for those with the Wood Decluttering Style to keep the process short and sweet.

-If you’re more of a Fire person, revisiting memories and the emotions of certain objects may be a crucial part of decluttering.

-For those with the Earth Decluttering Style, it may be a best to focus on organizing their collections and displaying them with love.

-Why those with the Metal Style should watch out for over-purging.

-Ideas for how those with the Water Style can begin to approach their collections of books and art.
