As feng shui professionals, our hope is to help people manifest spaces that nurture and support them. We don’t really like the word mistake or its click bait-y connotations. Anyone making the effort to invite more harmony and balance into their life is already on the right track, and the theme of today’s episode isn’t so much a list of mistakes that people make, but rather a list of commonly overlooked opportunities for growth within the home. Sometimes the solution to many of our obstacles is right in front of us, and today’s episode is a list of tips to help see those opportunities more clearly.
Discussed in this episode:
-Why you may want to start small and simple
-Why you should avoid dried, sick flowers and plants
-Broken or obscured mirrors
-Blocked doors
-Beds without headboards
and much more!

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

For part two in our series exploring symbolism and iconography in the natural world, we are discussing birds. Symbolism and iconography has been used for centuries to help people to connect with ideas and concepts that are often hard to describe in words. In Chinese culture birds connect the Earth to Heaven. A powerful symbol in many cultures, their imagery embellishes palaces as well as in the simplest of adornments, like jewelry. Birds are especially compelling because they soar freely through the sky and can communicate to the vast space of the heaven above.
We cover:
-The symbolism and many meanings of birds across cultures
-The Phoenix as a symbol of renewal
-The Crane as a symbol of long life and good luck
-Ravens as symbolic connectors between the seen and unseen realms
-As mates for life, a pair of Mandarin Ducks symbolize marital harmony and fidelity
-How Songbirds lift the qi with their song and movement.
