Today’s episode is called “The Inside Job” because Feng Shui is an inside job. I also see it as the theme of this year. To look inward for answers and focus on the things we actually have agency over like ourselves, our homes, our inner worlds, our nearest and dearest. This year’s themes have been profoundly evident and reflected in my personal sphere. I’m sure most of you are feeling it too. The world is changing so fast it’s hard to keep up with. The political landscape is currently like the Wild, Wild, West with the rules and the rulers in constant flux. This year’s Astrology is also extremely transformational, with every planet pretty much changing signs. If you watched or listened to my Year of the Snake Podcast, I mentioned that it’s a 9 year which signifies the end of a 9 year cycle so much of what we have known and become accustomed to is ending or drastically changing. It’s also the year of the Snake which is all about shedding a skin and that which no longer serves us. This is a profound time to reinvent yourself. You are supported and encouraged by these energies to release aspects of your life such as work, home or personal life that just don’t reflect who you are or what you believe in anymore. If you don’t take agency over your life and make the changes yourself, the universe will. I personally have been retooling my whole existence. Everything from my decor to my circle of friends, to my business systems and tech are evolving. It’s wild. In the middle of writing this latest newsletter and podcast my mother passed away and I have been processing that. It’s forced me to stop, reflect and press the pause button on everything including this podcast. It’s among the reasons there’s been a gap between this episode and my last. I’m back with today the question; Where am I going with this? What really matters and how do I want to proceed? You could ask yourself the same questions…. These are universal energies affecting the collective. In this vain, I have updated all of my Feng Shui service offerings and pricing and website to reflect my current level of expertise and approach which has evolved. I have a more elevated set of offerings that incorporate multiple approaches to Feng Shui and schools of thought. I’ve been doing this work for close to 15 years now and I have so much more to offer than when I began. It just came time to expand and pivot my business. As they say, adapt or die. I’m targeting a different boutique market and upgrading my level of service. It’s going to be more work for me but I will be able to provide more value and charge accordingly. I realize I have been keeping myself and my business small by keeping my rates and offerings modest. While I still plan to be generous with my content, I will be honoring my craft and level of experience by offering more high level services and boutique experiences. It’s time to go big or go home folks. Last year, I invested in some additional niche training in Fashion Feng Shui and upgraded my tech and I want continue to build on that this year. What’s changing in your world besides everything? Starting this year, I’m doing comprehensive Feng Shui Property Reports for the Real Estate Market and Individuals as well as current or prospective Home Owners and Renters. These reports are detailed and valuable investments for prospective buyers, renters and business owners. These reports serve as a treasure map for treating your home or property as a living breathing 3D Vision Board! They promise to help you connect with your environment and your ideal personal narrative. Property Reports are detailed reports which interpret Floor Plans from a Feng Shui perspective. The reports analyze everything from the neighborhood and approach to the property, elemental balance, room by room analyses and they explain the 9 energetic themes reflected in the Bagua. I provide specific recommendations for elements, materials and colors as well as placement suggestions. The reports highlight any areas of opportunity, cures and adjustments and how to maximize on the energetic potential of the property. They also cover the numerology of the space and its impact on the client as well as the Qua numbers and best directions for residents of the space. It’s an in-depth analysis. I decided
