Feng Shui in Real Time!

Hello & Welcome to The Feng Shui Money Couch where I talk about Feng Shui and other Woo. My name is Laura Beatriz Carrillo aka The Feng Shui Lady.

Today I am going to talk about my personal Shui and share my ongoing journey with you. As you feel yourself changing internally, you will find your environment shifts with you.

Listen, there’s no such thing as PERFECT Feng Shui. It’s a moving target. 😉

GOOD Feng Shui is the goal and that means an environment that evolves and pivots with you. Such that change is an ongoing practice. 😀

You are not static, your circumstances are not static and as such your environment is not static. 🙌

Your environment is a mirror or reflection of Your Evolution. The reality is that if you don’t see a reflection of change in what’s around you, then you are not fully evolving. 🪷

When you allow for growth; change and expansion is reflected in your environment. ✨

That includes everything from your home, your inner circle, what food and entertainment you consume and what you give your energy to. The recent eclipse season had a dramatic effect on who and what I give my energy to. 🤯

I also had an epiphany as a result of the Venus Retrograde about my physical space. I decided to revisit my environment and look at my space and circumstances as if I was working with a client. 🤓

I questioned both my circumstances and my surroundings. I asked myself if I was happy and what I would like to see differently. These are the kinds of questions I would ask you.

I decided to give myself a VIP Feng Shui Experience! Seriously! I even filled out my new and improved client intake form. I decided to walk myself through an actual client experience. 🧐

When I treated myself and my environment from the vantage point of a practitioner, I was able to see with my Feng Shui eyes what I couldn’t see as the person currently living in my home and circumstances. It was an enlightening experience. 😎

I came up with new activations and adjustments for my prosperity Gua for example. The Prosperity Gua is the area of your home that represents your wealth.

I replaced a lovely mirror which was perfectly good Feng Shui with a new Tapestry depicting a captivating Zen Drawing that represents good fortune and harmony. While the mirror was fine there; the Tapestry is a powerful visual cue that serves as an activation that I placed with specific intention. Every time I look at it now, I feel inspired by the composition and energy of the artwork. The piece is thought provoking and engages my imagination around the interconnectedness of everything and how the universe is working on my behalf.

It’s a series of three overlapping line filled circles. The separate forms come together as one composition representing heaven, earth and humanity. In Feng Shui we work with 3 kinds of luck Heavenly luck, earthly luck, and human luck. Two out of three we have agency over, earthly luck which refers to our physical actions we take towards our goals and human luck which refers to our attitude and energy or chi. Heavenly luck is divinely guided by destiny and karma. I love staring at the figures and experiencing their relationship to each other. I can’t emphasize enough how powerful the imagery in your environment is to creating your narrative and lived experience.

As I referred to earlier nobody has perfect Feng Shui. In my home for example I happen to have a portion of my Skills and Knowledge gua that’s missing and lives just outside my front door. This energetic Center called The Skills & Knowledge Gua and also referred to as the Wisdom Gua is just as important as Love or Money or any other energetic center and theme. It represents Information we seek to teach others and Information we want to learn and acquire for ourselves. A portion of this energetic center resides just outside my front door.

The interesting thing about this is how focused I have been this year on learning about sales and marketing and discovering how to integrate business systems and strategies as an entrepreneur.

I also have a lot of Knowledge I want to teach and share with the world around Feng Shui. So I definitely don’t take for granted this energy center and its interesting that it’s the only Gua at a deficit therefore calling for my special attention.

In Feng Shui your front door or entrance is referred to as The Mouth of Chi/Energy. It’s one of the most important power centers of your home and where your blessings enter. Of course I have cures in place for the missing portion of The Skills & Knowledge Gua but when I was doing my personal report and treating myself as a “VIP Client,” I suddenly came up with more creative and advanced additional cures to really energize this area. It was like puzzle that needed solving and it was time to figure it out!

An inviting entrance is incredibly important in Feng Shui. Things like a Welcome Mat and a Wind-chime help activate and welcome chi here.

So what I decided to do was update my welcome mats both inside and outside my home with 2 brand new matching super bougie ones.

As I pondered the best activation for this Gua I decided to incorporate the image of a majestic mountain which is extremely supportive in Feng Shui. I scoured the internet for welcome mats that depicted a beautiful mountain landscape. Since I can’t hang a picture of a mountain outside my apartment and there’s no room for one near the front door, the welcome mats are the perfect vessel for this imagery.

The new Mountain mats will serve as a cure to help connect the portion of energy of my Skills and Knowledge Gua lives outside my apartment with the part that’s inside. The mats I chose also have a flowing river running down the mountain which is very auspicious. Water features or imagery that flows into the home represent abundance and money entering the home so in effect the mats will also beckon abund
