Feng Shui and All Things Holistic |
|
We talk about the ripples in Feng Shui, and what we mean by that is how one shift in your space can create a ripple effect to all other areas of your life. For example, cleaning up and clearing out your Helpful People and Travel gua can invite helpful people into your life - especially useful when you are working on a project or need collaboration. Another example is by applying Feng Shui principles and remedies to your career gua at home, you can boost your work life at the office. We also love using Feng Shui to help another person or your community. Community service Feng Shui one of the most fun ways to spread the passion for what we do.
Another way we think about ripples is to consider how the whole essence of energy work overlaps over and through many different modalities. From space clearing, reiki, bau biologie, acupuncture, Chinese medicine, dowsing, nature, and more...the concepts of Feng Shui and it's counterparts can bring about expanded healing and growth.
There is so much to cover on this topic - and we couldn't possible get to everything in one issue. But keep scrolling to learn about a few of these fascinating modalities and concepts that absolutely overlap with Feng Shui. We hope you learn as much as we did.

Using Feng Shui and Reiki Together for Healing
by Karen Frazier
Both feng shui and Reiki deal with facilitating optimal flow of life force energy, or chi. While Reiki originated in Japan and feng shui in China, the two are more similar in their philosophies and practices than they are different. Cara Gallagher says, "I like to think of Reiki as healing our bodies and feng shui healing our environment."

#FengShuiTip: Connection to Nature
"Biophilic Design is the practice of connecting people and nature within our built environment and communities. Research shows that having contact with nature every day can have great benefits on our well-being which leads to stress reduction, boosting positive feelings, increases our problem solving skills, helps us focus and improves creative abilities. For the home that means a visual and physical connection to nature. Not all of us live in a house on a mountaintop with huge windows facing the ocean (#goals), but we can make the best of what we have by opening up our windows to let as much light in as possible. Also bringing natural elements indoors like plants, fresh flowers, water features, natural materials, crystals and artwork are all very nice ways to capture nature indoors."

Final Thoughts: Practice Being Imperfect: the Wabi Sabi Way
Wabi-Sabi is an ancient practice from Japan which embraces the art of imperfection. It is not just about your home though, it is an entire lifestyle of simplicity and calm, clean, and sustainable practices that lead to a more authentically cherished life. This is a tough concept for us Westerners to get wrap our head around though as I mentioned above we have decided there is “perfect” just around the next corner.
In Holistic Interior Designs we help you set aside your judgements and longing for perfection and focus instead on the beauty of things as they are, in this moment. Slow down, take time to find beauty in the ordinary. We cull what you have, find the best, reuse the rest; then we transform and then fill in the gaps. All along this design journey we discover many new interesting and even surprising things about what makes you happiest. Often there are many shocks, bumps and curves along this road of design discovery! It is never dull and often quite adventurous.
"You don’t leave a beautiful place. You carry it wherever you go."
