When you Feng Shui your kitchen you’ll be inspired to cook healthy foods and you will feel less stress when cooking!  So I’m so excited to learn more! Amy Stephens is with us again to tell us how.  

For thousands of years the Chinese have used Feng Shui principals to bring more peace and prosperity into their lives.  You might think it’s just superstition or hogwash and I’m here to tell you that it’s really just the study of how to use energy forces to harmonize individuals with their surrounding environment.  And if even if you are a scientist or a physicist you understand that life is energy we are all made up of energy.  So if we can learn to harness that energy we can feel better, we can think more clearly, we can feel more at peace, be more patient, be inspired, and ultimately create a more comfortable life on our own terms.  Fundamentally, Feng Shui teaches us how we can take control of our lives.  It offers guidance, so money issues, family issues, career problems anything that is going wrong in our lives, we can apply Feng Shui principals to improve them.  It allows us to create balance and bring more flow into our life so we aren’t working so hard.  You know how when you feel like you swimming upstream and nothing seems to be going your way, or just there’s road block after road block, vs sometimes when you are in the flow, you have endless energy and exactly what you need just seems to appear at the right time?  This it what I’m talking about when I say flow.   Pretty amazing right?  So, I’ve got Amy Stephens on the show again, she’s been practicing and helping others use Feng Shui in their homes for over 20 years and she’s going to dive a little deeper today and explain the Bagua map and how you can use it to make adjustments to the energy in your home.  So it’s going to be an episode you won’t want to miss!  Let’s grow!

Have you ever walked into a home or restaurant and had a uncomfortable feeling that you didn’t know what was wrong about it, but it just didn’t quite feel right, so you thought let’s leave?    Have you ever walked into a home and felt immediately comfortable like it was drawing you inside and you just got that feeling?  A lot of home buyers are searching for that feeling you know.  They can’t place what it is, but they will know right away when they walk in.    Well, what you were feeling is the energy of that space.  And what if I told you it’s something you can control.  Cool right?  Well, that’s what we’re talking about on today’s episode.  I’m super excited to have a special guest here Amy Stephens.  She’s an interior designer, and Feng Shui specialist for the past 20 years and she’s also a yoga instructor and teaches others all about energy, how to harness it and use it to our advantage.  So she’s going to walk us through the house and give us some quick tips on how you can transform the energy of your spaces so that they are inviting, welcoming and more comfortable for you and your family to live in.  It’s going to be a great episode!  So, let’s grow!

There's ONE thing that can help you reach your personal and family goals in 2020!  In this episode we are going to find out what that ONE thing is and also learn how our home environment can support that ONE thing.   Season 2 is all about Personal Growth.  I believe there are 15 areas of our lives that contribute to overall wellness, and I group those areas into 3 different categories.  Personal Growth, Relationships & Health.   Because let’s face it, if you are struggling in an area of personal growth or relationships, no amount of kale or green juice is going to fix that!  So it’s important to understand what these different areas of our lives are and how becoming conscious of our actions and behaviors and habits will help lead to making better decisions!   Because once you are aware, that’s when you can start creating change and attracting what you want in the behavior of others, in yourself and in the life you want to create. So Season 2 will be all about personal growth and how the home can support that area of our lives.  So I’m super excited today’s episode, and can’t wait to get started,  so let’s grow! Shownotes can be found  here.

You’re listening to episode #53 of the WellLIFE, formerly Blooming! And today’s episode is: Are you a water snob?  It’s funny, for most of my life, I thought all water was the same, and it wasn’t until recently that I learned what a difference drinking the right water can make in your life, from improving how you feel day to day to helping your body heal.  Our bodies are made up of over 70% water, and our brains are 85% water, so it makes sense that putting nutritious water into our bodies is going to be better than non-nutritious water.  But is that even a thing?  Yes, it is.  And it’s not about labels like alkaline or mineral or reverse osmosis. (which is terrible for you by the way)  In this episode, you will learn about hydrogen-rich charged water.  And after drinking this water, I can tell you I’m officially a water snob.  So if you are curious to know if you are drinking nutritious water or not or you want to know what the heck I’m talking about, stay tuned for this episode with Robin Colvey the founder of Lifetime Water.  www.lifetimewatersb.com
