Holistic Spaces | the feng shui podcast by Mindful Design

On this week’s episode we are exploring an exercise from our new book, Mindful Living: A guide to the everyday magic of feng shui, in which we recommend colors as supportive elements based on individual Nine Star Ki numbers. Nine Star Ki is an ancient form of astrology that is intertwined with the five elements, the bagua, and the I Ching. Your Nine Star Ki can help you to better understand your personal energy and how you can support it. Understanding how color can support this energy is vital and FUN way to support this energy!

What we talk about in this episode:

-How to calculate your Nine Star Ki

-The different earth elements associated with each number

-Your color profile and how to work with it

-Archetypes associated with each number/color profile

And much more.

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.
