00:00:02.004 --> 00:00:08.175 Hi everyone, it's Sandy Kruse, of Sandy K Nutrition Health and Lifestyle Queen.
00:00:08.175 --> 00:00:17.708 For years now, I've been bringing to you conversations about wellness from experts from all over the world.
00:00:17.708 --> 00:00:32.207 Whether it be suggestions on how you can age better, biohacking, alternative wellness, these are conversations to help you live your best life.
00:00:32.207 --> 00:00:47.744 I want to live a long, healthy and vibrant life, never mind all those stigmas that, as we reach midlife and beyond, we're just going to shrivel up and die with some horrible disease.
00:00:47.744 --> 00:00:53.311 Always remember balanced living works.
00:00:53.311 --> 00:00:56.308 I really look forward to this season.
00:00:56.308 --> 00:01:03.128 Hi everyone, welcome to Sandy K Nutrition, Health and Lifestyle Queen.
00:01:08.558 --> 00:01:23.811 Today it is me, myself and I and I am here to tell you all about the feng shui energy for 2025, how to easily feng shui your home and bring good energy in for the year long that we're in for.
00:01:23.811 --> 00:01:25.594 Let's see if we're going to have a better year.
00:01:25.594 --> 00:01:32.855 I know many of you said 2024 was tough, so let's hope for a better, softer.
00:01:32.855 --> 00:01:35.784 Let's hope for better, softer landings this year.
00:01:35.784 --> 00:01:36.846 How about that?
00:01:36.846 --> 00:01:50.483 I don't think life is ever without lessons and occurrences, but I think we can all agree that softer landings are much better, so let's all hope for softer landings this year.
00:01:50.483 --> 00:02:03.534 Please share this episode with someone else who might benefit, because a lot of people who listen to my podcast are like me and you.
00:02:03.754 --> 00:02:09.127 I've been doing feng shui in my home for probably about 12, 14 years, I don't even know.
00:02:09.127 --> 00:02:11.854 I think I started in 2012,.
00:02:11.854 --> 00:02:13.860 I think was when I started.
00:02:13.860 --> 00:02:23.229 So it's been a while and and I've been following the advice from one feng shui Master.
00:02:23.229 --> 00:02:25.171 They're located in the UK.
00:02:25.171 --> 00:02:28.115 Their website is fengshuiwebcouk.
00:02:28.115 --> 00:02:39.262 I find you can get a lot of conflicting advice if you go on social media and this is the big problem with social media.
00:02:39.322 --> 00:02:46.852 I can take a pause here and talk about that, because it relates to all aspects of our wellness.
00:02:46.852 --> 00:02:55.271 We get one snippet, whatever that might be, as it relates to any kind of wellness body, mind, spirit, soul.
00:02:55.271 --> 00:02:57.262 We never get the full picture.
00:02:57.262 --> 00:03:21.491 So this is why I think, if you're really interested in a subject, go deep, listen to some podcasts, look at some of the actual longstanding experts and by longstanding I'm talking about experts who have really, really shown their passion over profit in the industry that they're in.
00:03:21.491 --> 00:03:26.542 Those are people I call experts because they're not buying their way to the top.
00:03:26.542 --> 00:03:39.454 That's the facts, my friends, and this is a perfect segue to announce that I'm starting a new podcast, and the way that you're going to get access is through my sub stack.
00:03:40.161 --> 00:03:45.353 This podcast is called Think About it, and that's all it is.
00:03:45.353 --> 00:03:54.766 Each week, I'm going to come to you with a new wellness topic, and it will only be between six and 16 minutes.
00:03:54.766 --> 00:03:59.210 That's it, and it will be on one topic each week.
00:03:59.210 --> 00:04:03.671 Sometimes I might release more that week depends on how feisty I feel.
00:04:03.671 --> 00:04:06.408 But it's not about me being a contrarian.
00:04:06.408 --> 00:04:08.706 It's not about me being a whistleblower.
00:04:08.706 --> 00:04:10.110 That's not what this is about.
00:04:10.110 --> 00:04:19.928 It's about me just helping you critically think about something before deciding on something.
00:04:20.610 --> 00:04:23.353 We just get so much health information.
00:04:23.353 --> 00:04:33.307 It's become such a crowded space and I feel there is a massive loss of integrity, authenticity.
00:04:33.307 --> 00:04:45.112 Just so much greed and power and, to be truthful, I think a lot of it is relating to just a separate leg of big pharma.
00:04:45.112 --> 00:04:58.973 That's how I feel, and I feel my passion to do this is stronger than even my passion for this podcast and this platform, which it's going to hit five years, by the way, my friends.
00:04:58.973 --> 00:05:01.788 So please do share this.
00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:15.220 That's the way that anyone will ever hear about me, because I'm not a celebrity, I'm just a little old holistic nutritionist and I just went back to college.
00:05:15.220 --> 00:05:17.446 I'm actually an English literature graduate.
00:05:17.446 --> 00:05:35.779 I went back to college when I was 46 or 47 to get a diploma in holistic nutrition after having thyroid cancer at the age of 41, after my daughter having cancer at the age of five and after my husband coded in hospital.
00:05:35.779 --> 00:05:41.490 So you can kind of see why I'm a little bit superstitious.
00:05:41.490 --> 00:06:07.894 And I started following feng shui because I just wanted to enhance positive energy in my home and do what I ever could do about everything and anything to enhance the wellness in my life to help me to age better, because at 41, starting off with thyroid cancer wasn't a great way to start off my perimenopausal years.
00:06:07.894 --> 00:06:08.935 Now I'm 51.
00:06:08.935 --> 00:06:10.966 I wish I was 51.
00:06:10.966 --> 00:06:14.591 I just turned 55 on January the 6th.
00:06:14.591 --> 00:06:22.228 Yes, my birthday is on the epiphany Christmas Eve for those of you who are Orthodox.
00:06:22.228 --> 00:06:29.372 Yeah, so I have had a bit of time in this space.
00:06:29.372 --> 00:06:31.642 I've seen a lot of things.
00:06:31.642 --> 00:06:35.913 I've interviewed a lot of people, some great, some you know.
00:06:35.913 --> 00:06:37.642 Now I can look back and go.
00:06:37.642 --> 00:06:42.312 Hmm, I wonder how authentic those people really are.
00:06:42.913 --> 00:06:45.848 And again, my new podcast is not about whistleblowing.
00:06:45.848 --> 00:06:49.747 It's just getting you to think about things, because guess what that does.
00:06:49.747 --> 00:07:04.992 When you think about these things, as it relates to your own self and your residence, then guess what that helps you to be healthier, because you can decipher what's right for you and what's not right for you.
00:07:04.992 --> 00:07:08.586 So it's not about me telling you what's right.
00:07:08.586 --> 00:07:13.521 It's about me just bringing up a topic and saying, hey, think about this.
00:07:13.521 --> 00:07:17.771 So in order to have access to this, you have to join my sub stack.
00:07:17.771 --> 00:07:27.091 For now it is Sandy Cruz, s-a-n-d-y careuscsubstackcom.
00:07:27.091 --> 00:07:28.994 The link will be in the show notes.
00:07:28.994 --> 00:07:34.891 I will also have the link for the Feng Shui master that I've been following for over a decade.
00:07:35.834 --> 00:07:39.725 And please, I don't know, I haven't decided if I'm going to do the transcript.
00:07:39.725 --> 00:07:49.915 I mean, every time I include a transcript the typos drive me crazy and I don't have the patience or the time to go through it and edit it thoroughly.
00:07:49.915 --> 00:07:55.781 But I might have that in there for you to print out, just so that you don't have to actually write notes.
00:07:55.781 --> 00:07:58.750 Or hey, maybe you should write notes handwriting.
00:07:58.750 --> 00:08:03.485 Anyway, you guys know my opinion on writing with the hand.
00:08:03.485 --> 00:08:12.956 So with that I am going to welcome myself for this annual Feng Shui episode, my fifth annual.
00:08:12.956 --> 00:08:14.685 Please don't forget to share this.
00:08:14.685 --> 00:08:20.052 Thanks, guys, and I hope you have an incredible 2025.
00:08:32.220 --> 00:08:34.883 I know I'm very enthusiastic about 2025.
00:08:34.883 --> 00:08:38.206 I don't know about you, guys, but I found 2024 full of challenges.
00:08:38.206 --> 00:08:46.636 So apparently that's actually what the stars the feng shui flying stars said would happen in 2024.
00:08:46.636 --> 00:08:58.379 You'd get people who are, you know, flying through the year really, really well, and then you get people who have a little more challenges thrown at us, like myself.
00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:13.442 So today I am going to talk to you all about the feng shui for 2025 and the advice that I have been following for over a decade.
00:09:13.442 --> 00:09:18.846 It is from fengshuestorecouk.
00:09:18.846 --> 00:09:25.231 I'm going to put their link here because they're feng shui masters.
00:09:25.231 --> 00:09:47.894 You will see a lot of different advice all over TikTok, all over Instagram, facebook, and I found I have found that if you choose somebody that you align with and only look at their stuff and follow their stuff, it'll just be much easier.
00:09:47.894 --> 00:09:53.312 If you find that you're following their stuff and it's not working for you, then maybe you'll go.
00:09:53.312 --> 00:09:59.070 Hmm, maybe I chose the wrong feng shui master to follow.
00:09:59.070 --> 00:10:00.692 I have been following them.
00:10:00.833 --> 00:10:03.849 I've also bought their cures for many, many years.
00:10:03.849 --> 00:10:09.548 I think what they do is very good stuff and I will give them credit.
00:10:09.548 --> 00:10:44.168 I personally have chosen not to buy the cures this year for the first time in like a decade, only because I'm really working on this whole power within me thing and I think that when we realize, yes, it's great to enhance good energy in our homes, in our lives, I think essentially, and then we eat well and then we follow certain advice from wellness influencers, it's great.
00:10:44.168 --> 00:10:55.368 But really all of that power of optimizing our health, our wellness, our safety, comes from a power within us.
00:10:55.368 --> 00:10:59.654 There's always free will to choose things.
00:10:59.654 --> 00:11:21.153 Some say they believe in destiny, some believe in God, and really for us here on Earth, I think it's just all about the process and learning from the challenges and taking those little challenges in life that are thrown at us as breadcrumbs.
00:11:21.320 --> 00:11:27.188 I've written about this in my sub stack so you can go follow me on sub stack.
00:11:31.547 --> 00:11:48.383 Sub stack S-U-B-S-T-A-C-K dot com, and I write a lot of shorter, more explorative essays that relate to our wellness body, mind, spirit, soul and I think you'll like it if you like to read about these kinds of things.
00:11:48.383 --> 00:11:56.164 I also write on medium now and again, so, and I've also released my essential thyroid guide.
00:11:56.164 --> 00:12:01.403 Most of you who follow me know that I had thyroid cancer at age 41.
00:12:01.403 --> 00:12:04.710 And two days ago I just turned 55.
00:12:04.710 --> 00:12:12.606 So now I'm going through menopause without a thyroid gland and there's some challenges, you know.
00:12:12.606 --> 00:12:38.270 Many medical professionals would say, well, you know, you have medication to control that and I'm like, yeah, but I do believe energetically, when you are without a master gland or you're without a gallbladder, even without appendix, whatever it is, I think that it changes the dynamic of how your body works, and so it's always about rejigging, for me, hormones.
00:12:38.270 --> 00:12:41.169 So I wrote the Essential Thyroid Guide last year.
00:12:41.169 --> 00:12:43.788 It is a patient advocacy guide.
00:12:43.788 --> 00:12:46.043 It is not clinical.
00:12:46.043 --> 00:12:53.118 Okay, it's not a clinical book because you can find many of those anywhere you shop for your books.
00:12:53.118 --> 00:13:04.826 It is simply a patient advocacy guide that really takes into account the body, the mind, the spirit and the soul as it relates to the health of this important little master gland right here.
00:13:04.826 --> 00:13:09.953 So I am a registered holistic nutritionist.
00:13:09.953 --> 00:13:14.220 I am also a certified metabolic balance coach.
00:13:14.220 --> 00:13:19.738 I am the podcast host of Sandy K Nutrition, health and Lifestyle Queen podcast.
00:13:20.164 --> 00:13:26.375 This is my fifth year and this is my fifth episode on feng shui.
00:13:26.375 --> 00:13:33.658 Feng shui is just one of those ways in which I like to enhance the positive energy in my home each year.
00:13:33.658 --> 00:13:45.336 This was, I think, the first time I called in a feng shui consultant was back in probably 2012, after my daughter was diagnosed with cancer.
00:13:45.336 --> 00:13:49.548 I was diagnosed with cancer one year later and then maybe 2013,.
00:13:49.548 --> 00:13:53.298 My husband coded in hospital from bacterial pneumonia.
00:13:53.298 --> 00:13:57.032 Then I'm like what the hell is going on here.
00:13:57.032 --> 00:14:00.138 So I'm like, is that my energy?
00:14:00.138 --> 00:14:03.972 At that point I remember I wanted to move, I wanted to leave, I wanted to.
00:14:03.972 --> 00:14:06.625 I thought, oh my God, my house is cursed.
00:14:06.625 --> 00:14:13.947 I had a lot of things going through my head and then I started to really study and research feng shui.
00:14:13.947 --> 00:14:16.692 I brought in a consultant, I bought software.
00:14:16.692 --> 00:14:26.398 I was doing feng shui like just patterning of the homes for friends and family, and I really got into it.
00:14:26.398 --> 00:14:30.051 And now, how many years later, I still love it.
00:14:30.172 --> 00:14:40.399 I still feng shui my home each year and I do this episode because there are tiny little tweaks that we can do in our home just to enhance.
00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:55.613 It's called the flying stars and it's a really complicated calculation in feng shui, where they calculate the flying stars for the year, the annual flying stars and that's what I follow.
00:14:55.613 --> 00:15:09.759 So the first thing you're going to do is you're going to grab your compass on your iPhone or your Android, just search for compass and you're going to stand in the center of your home facing your front door.
00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:18.750 Facing your front door and with that compass you're going to see what direction is my front door facing.
00:15:18.750 --> 00:15:22.779 This is the easiest way to map out the directions in your home.
00:15:22.779 --> 00:15:28.013 Then you're going to draw like a tic-tac-toe grid.
00:15:28.013 --> 00:15:33.532 I'm going to show you right here and, for those of you who are listening, just think of tic-tac-toe.
00:15:33.532 --> 00:15:36.658 So it's going to be reverse for you who are looking at this.
00:15:36.658 --> 00:15:42.804 But this is my home and you're going to draw this grid and there's going to be nine spots.
00:15:42.804 --> 00:15:53.441 So think of tic-tac-toe, think of nine spots, and then you're going to put where your front door faces, at the bottom center, the bottom center.
00:15:53.441 --> 00:16:02.019 So mine is northeast, and then you're going to draw all the directionals or mark all the directionals in the proper order.
00:16:02.019 --> 00:16:10.491 So then northeast, north, northwest, west, southwest, south, southeast, east and then center of your home.
00:16:10.491 --> 00:16:28.658 Then you're going to know like, so I know, for example, my front door faces the northeast and then I have a living dining room that faces in my east section, so you're going to know basically what rooms are where in your home.
00:16:28.658 --> 00:16:30.570 This is by far.
00:16:30.570 --> 00:16:38.432 I used to actually have software that would provide a floor plan and all of that, and, yes, it's very, very detailed.
00:16:38.432 --> 00:16:47.852 You don't need that, you just need approximate spaces so that you know approximately what area is what in your home.
00:16:48.894 --> 00:16:55.321 Now the next thing is just remember that with feng shui, you've got five elements.
00:16:55.321 --> 00:17:16.667 Okay, so you've got wood, and so that could be symbolic with colors like green, and you know this is where you're going to find it really conflicting, meaning that some might say blue, the color blue is water, and it depends on who you follow.
00:17:16.667 --> 00:17:29.953 So let me finish this first Wood, fire, earth, metal and water are the five elements in feng shui, and the colors this is where it gets complicated and the elements.
00:17:29.953 --> 00:17:53.806 So, for example, if I have a painting that is with water and let's say the water is green, well, that's where it gets confusing, right, because the green color can be more symbolic of the element of wood, but then the painting is of water, which means an element of water.
00:17:54.407 --> 00:18:13.598 What I want you to do is make it simple for yourself Instead of listening to all the feng shui experts.
00:18:13.598 --> 00:18:16.741 I want you's subjective right.
00:18:16.741 --> 00:18:25.467 It's subjective and I want and I always say to people look at how things resonate with you when you're feng shui-ing your home.
00:18:25.467 --> 00:18:55.042 And this is why, yeah, calling in a consultant might be okay, just to learn from them, but in the end I say this all the time even when you're, let's say, smudging or cleansing your home, I always think it's best to do it yourself, because only you know the intent and the purpose and what's inside of you on what your outcome is going to be.
00:18:55.042 --> 00:18:57.327 I'm not saying people have bad intent towards you.
00:18:57.327 --> 00:18:58.371 I mean, some might.
00:18:58.371 --> 00:19:07.826 But this is why I'm saying when you learn it yourself and you do it yourself, it's always going to work better because it's going to resonate with you.
00:19:07.826 --> 00:19:08.969 I hope that makes sense.
00:19:09.209 --> 00:19:14.720 So 2025 is the year of the yin wood snake.
00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:39.512 Now the energies overall, they're predicting that they're going to be more settled, a little calmer, and this is good, right, because of what I was saying at the start, 2024 happened to be a year where for some it was really good and for others it was really not good.
00:19:39.512 --> 00:19:46.146 I'm just kind of dealing with last weekend I was dealing with a kidney stone.
00:19:46.146 --> 00:19:54.220 I'm like I had, and then I had COVID, like I had a lot going on last year that weren't really great.
00:19:54.220 --> 00:20:09.266 And so they're saying that yin wood years can really bring resolution and resilience, not just to yourself but to the world, and I think the world could use that right Now.
00:20:09.446 --> 00:20:20.057 The advice that I always follow they will give you a section, so, for example, the center of your home, and they will indicate whether it's auspicious or inauspicious.
00:20:20.057 --> 00:20:30.855 So if it's auspicious, that means it can really be a lucky part of your home if you activate the energies.
00:20:30.855 --> 00:20:39.170 Inauspicious means it can really be a not such a great place in your home.
00:20:39.170 --> 00:20:42.656 So you want to downplay the energies.
00:20:42.656 --> 00:20:55.846 This is the best way for me to describe what auspicious and inauspicious means, and I'm going to start with the center of the home, which is considered auspicious.
00:20:55.846 --> 00:21:04.266 So in the center of your home this year you're going to want to have metal and earth elements.
00:21:04.266 --> 00:21:14.729 So if you enhance this energy in the center of your home, you're going to enhance the luck, the health, the relationships, the wealth.
00:21:14.729 --> 00:21:17.394 So you're going to want to work with this energy.
00:21:18.516 --> 00:21:24.954 So the colors that you're going to want are white, silver, gold, copper, brown, beige, yellow.
00:21:24.954 --> 00:21:31.050 You want to avoid colors like green, reds, oranges, purples, pinks.
00:21:31.050 --> 00:21:36.509 You also don't want black gray, and I mean here's where I'm going to do a little pause.
00:21:36.509 --> 00:21:44.711 If you're anything like me, your entire house is probably black, gray, beige, blue.
00:21:44.711 --> 00:21:53.576 So again, it's not like you're going to go and rip out all your hardwoods because there's too much beige or brown.
00:21:53.576 --> 00:22:05.953 You're going to try and enhance that area with the energy and the colors and the elements that are more beneficial for that area.
00:22:06.924 --> 00:22:13.796 So I kind of say this all the time I never go too crazy with paint colors.
00:22:13.796 --> 00:22:28.675 In my home I won't paint an entire wall red, or, you know, blue's not so bad because it's a little bit more of a calming color, but red especially, I'll never get a red couch.
00:22:28.675 --> 00:22:33.726 I'll never get, you know, paint a wall red because it always signifies fire.
00:22:33.726 --> 00:22:47.348 So having a fire element can be really good if you want to enhance that energy, but having fire when you can't really take it away can be very overpowering and overwhelming.
00:22:47.348 --> 00:23:15.286 So that's why I just choose more muted, downplayed colors and then use elements, or I'll use a throw or maybe a rug or something like that, just to play around with the elements and the colors for that area in my home, for that area in my home.
00:23:15.286 --> 00:23:17.510 So back to the center Some of the things that are really good to put in the center as it relates to elements.
00:23:17.672 --> 00:23:22.047 You don't want candles in the center of your home this year, this 2025.
00:23:22.047 --> 00:23:23.448 You don't want red.
00:23:23.448 --> 00:23:27.913 You also don't want much wood, fire and water.
00:23:27.913 --> 00:23:34.500 So, again in the center of my home, I mean I have a print that is water.
00:23:34.500 --> 00:23:48.597 But I think, if I enhance the area, I have a nice singing bowl that is metal and they say it's a good idea, you can put crystals inside and they say the number eight for the center.
00:23:48.597 --> 00:23:57.137 So eight small crystals inside of a singing bowl that's metal is a really great element to add to the center of your home.
00:23:57.137 --> 00:23:58.883 Just, no candles.
00:23:58.883 --> 00:24:00.426 Candles are really tricky.
00:24:00.426 --> 00:24:28.593 So not only are many of them toxic, but they're tricky in that if you burn candles or let's say, you know I have one of those Himalayan salt lamps I actually have many of them and if you are one of these people that has it on all the time, it's this kind of a low energy of fire that's always activated in that area.
00:24:28.593 --> 00:24:35.239 So I may have that saltwater not saltwater, sorry.
00:24:35.239 --> 00:24:51.413 Himalayan salt lamp in the area because it's shown to really help cleanse energy, but I might not turn it on if that area of my home does not want too much fire, because any kind of light signifies fire.
00:24:52.855 --> 00:24:54.719 Let's move on to the south.
00:24:54.719 --> 00:24:56.988 Okay, the south auspicious.
00:24:56.988 --> 00:25:00.336 So in the south we want metal and earth.
00:25:00.336 --> 00:25:11.896 The south is going to be especially crucial for career, wealth and luck and especially beneficial for females of the home if you activate it.
00:25:11.896 --> 00:25:17.829 So the colors that you want are brown, beige, yellow, white, silver, gold.
00:25:17.829 --> 00:25:28.113 You want to avoid black, gray, blue, green, reds, purple, orange Remember reds, pinks it's all in the same family.
00:25:28.113 --> 00:25:34.527 You can find all this online, by the way, all in the same family.
00:25:34.527 --> 00:25:36.148 You can find all this online, by the way.
00:25:36.148 --> 00:25:37.171 You want to avoid wood, fire and water.
00:25:37.171 --> 00:25:43.502 The South is a great place for human interaction, some socializing.
00:25:43.502 --> 00:25:51.814 You definitely don't want candles there, but they say it's a good place for crystals.
00:25:51.814 --> 00:26:08.087 So that's that Southwest auspicious, especially beneficial for relationships, wealth and love, and, again, a great place for the females and mothers.
00:26:08.087 --> 00:26:12.246 So you want to enhance this if you're a mom and if you're a female females and mothers.
00:26:12.246 --> 00:26:15.893 So you want to enhance this if you're a mom and if you're a female In here, you want a lot of earth and fire.
00:26:15.893 --> 00:26:36.106 The colors that you want are brown, beige, yellow, red and purple pinks.
00:26:36.106 --> 00:26:38.772 That kind of thing you want to avoid green, white, silver, gold, black, silver gold black, gray blue.
00:26:38.772 --> 00:26:40.576 You want a lot of candles and crystals in this area.
00:26:40.576 --> 00:26:43.142 And this area the southwest happens to be a very strong manifestation area.
00:26:43.241 --> 00:26:47.326 And listen, I've got a bunch of different things that I do for manifesting.
00:26:47.326 --> 00:27:08.874 And remember, if you're if you're I've actually recorded a podcast about this If you're not matching the energy as well as the frequency and vibration of what you're trying to manifest which is really hard to do, you guys then it's going to be tough to manifest.
00:27:08.874 --> 00:27:22.039 And I have my own little ritual that I've been trying and it's supposed to really kind of help you raise your vibration to actually feel what you're trying to manifest.
00:27:22.039 --> 00:27:24.520 I can tell you what it is.
00:27:24.520 --> 00:27:27.842 Why not journal every day?
00:27:27.842 --> 00:27:34.003 And I'm writing the date of one year later.
00:27:34.003 --> 00:27:39.570 So, for example, today I'm recording this on January the 8th 2025.
00:27:39.570 --> 00:27:42.615 I'll write January the 8th 2026.
00:27:42.615 --> 00:27:46.546 And I'm writing it like it's one year later.
00:27:46.886 --> 00:27:58.357 And I'm writing it like you know, I'm so grateful for that incredible opportunity I had to release my book with this publisher.
00:27:58.357 --> 00:27:59.891 I'm just giving you an idea.
00:27:59.891 --> 00:28:12.271 So you show gratitude, you show thankfulness, you actually pause and feel the energy, which is really kind of cool when you do that.
00:28:12.271 --> 00:28:15.295 I want you to think about what you did when you were a child.
00:28:15.295 --> 00:28:20.998 We did a lot of imaginary work, daydreaming.
00:28:20.998 --> 00:28:22.692 We didn't even know we were doing it.
00:28:22.692 --> 00:28:24.509 So that's kind of what this is.
00:28:24.509 --> 00:28:40.419 And you're going to write this in your journal for 30 days Not the same thing, but each day write what it is that you experienced, and you're writing it as though it already happened.
00:28:40.419 --> 00:28:42.123 But you're going to do it for 30 days.
00:28:42.123 --> 00:28:43.031 Give it a try.
00:28:43.031 --> 00:28:44.355 I'm doing it right now.
00:28:44.355 --> 00:28:51.134 I think I'm on the third week and I haven't missed one day, so I'll keep you posted on that.
00:28:51.334 --> 00:28:57.525 So the Southwest is actually a great place for manifesting.
00:28:57.525 --> 00:29:17.067 So one of the tips given by the Feng Shui masters write all your hopes and dreams and you're going to place it under something that would signify an earth element, like slate, like a little slate I don't know coaster, I have a slate coaster actually.
00:29:17.067 --> 00:29:27.439 So you're going to put it under there and you're going to keep it there in the southwest, and you're also going to avoid metal, water and wood there.
00:29:27.439 --> 00:29:35.201 In that area you're also, because it's such a great, powerful area, you're going to add family photos, some light.
00:29:35.201 --> 00:29:41.261 So here's a perfect place where you can put that Himalayan salt lamp and just kind of have it on all the time.
00:29:41.261 --> 00:29:42.711 It's a great place for it.
00:29:42.751 --> 00:29:52.434 In the Southwest Mandarin ducks, I actually have these two Mandarin ducks that you can face each other.
00:29:52.434 --> 00:29:58.311 They're made of quartz, rose quartz, and they're sitting on a jade leaf.
00:29:58.311 --> 00:30:00.777 They're so cute I move them around my home.
00:30:00.777 --> 00:30:04.991 I make sure I cleanse them and charge them each year.
00:30:04.991 --> 00:30:09.601 So I'll pause here and talk a little bit about cleansing.
00:30:09.601 --> 00:30:17.046 So you can buy a lot of these cures on Amazon because, let's face facts, life is expensive.
00:30:17.046 --> 00:30:21.723 So we're kind of looking at where can we get the things like the little things.
00:30:21.723 --> 00:30:28.782 Like I talk about a Wooloo, it's like a little health gourd, and the ones that I have are made out of solid brass.
00:30:28.782 --> 00:30:36.471 They're beautiful, I have them at the bedside tables and I try to do a cleansing and a charging twice a year.
00:30:36.471 --> 00:30:39.517 But sometimes, you know, life gets away from you right.
00:30:39.517 --> 00:30:50.480 So what you're gonna wanna do is, if you find these things on Amazon I talk about the six Chinese coins tied with a red ribbon.
00:30:50.480 --> 00:30:54.416 You're gonna wanna charge them and you're gonna wanna cleanse them.
00:30:54.490 --> 00:30:56.498 There's a couple of different ways you can cleanse them.
00:30:56.498 --> 00:30:57.674 They're two different things.
00:30:57.674 --> 00:31:00.538 Charging and cleansing are two different things.
00:31:00.538 --> 00:31:06.397 So when you cleanse them that's number one you want to cleanse it of any energies.
00:31:06.397 --> 00:31:15.059 Who knows where it was made and how it got to you and you don't know anything right, and all objects and humans we hold energy.
00:31:15.059 --> 00:31:17.758 So you're going to want to cleanse it.
00:31:18.029 --> 00:31:22.704 One way of doing that is doing a smudge with whatever You're going to want to cleanse it.
00:31:22.704 --> 00:31:31.609 One way of doing that is doing a smudge with whatever, and I'm a big believer that any smoke smudge will work.
00:31:31.609 --> 00:31:36.240 You know, I've heard different things about how white sages become like an endangered plant or something.
00:31:36.240 --> 00:31:36.762 I don't know.
00:31:36.762 --> 00:31:39.856 Anyway, just use some sort of a smoke.
00:31:39.856 --> 00:31:46.375 That because, think about it, in all religions they've always had smoke as a clearing method.
