We are delighted to once again welcome on to the program some of our recent graduates of the Mindful Design Feng Shui School. One of the most rewarding aspects of our work as teachers can be found in the enduring and mutually nourishing relationships that develop over the course of the program. Just as feng shui is about creating harmony in the home, it is also about creating harmonious and lasting relationships and we couldn’t be more grateful to host Brooke Ballan and Maria Tverlli for a conversation about their experiences with the Mindful Design School.

Some of the topics discussed include:

  • Brooke and Maria’s personal stories and ah-ha moment with feng shui

It’s the height of summer, everything is in full bloom and for episode 237, we’re talking about our favorite flowers and how they relate to feng shui. Flowers are often used in feng shui to boost the qi of a space. They are a source of fresh, uplifting energy, and bringing fresh flowers into your home is a great way to unstick anything that is feeling stuck. Flowers also invite more joy, and they invite us to contemplate the beauty in impermanence since they are so fleeting.

What we talk about in this episode:

  • How peonies can invite prosperity, luck, honour, gracefulness, elegance, cultivation.

  • Narcissus, one of the earliest blooming flowers after winter, and its association with good fate and good fortune.

  • Chrysanthemum as a symbol of longevity

  • The power, strength and loyalty of the sun flower.
