The Amanda Sophia Podcast Amanda Sophia: Feng Shui Master & Celtic Priestess

In this episode, we discuss How to Embrace Holistic Healing through Art Therapy and Feng Shui as Jacqueline shares each stepping stone of her practice and how it continues to evolve. 
Jacqueline went through a journey of stepping stones, each with unique and individual sets of wisdom that she now combines beautifully into her overall practice. She started with art education, eventually adding Yoga, Reiki, Art Therapy, and Feng Shui as a wholesome blend of holistic healing practices. 

She shares how Art Therapy led her into deeper practices and understanding of how interconnected intergenerational trauma can be in one’s environment and habits. Jacqueline speaks on her findings of people she’s served, from children to veterans who all benefit from the therapeutic practices she’s combined.

Through her work, she discovered that she could only do so much from a therapist’s perspective and often this would send her clients back home to an unsupportive or imbalanced environment. This is where Feng Shui came in, Jacqueline started studying Feng Shui through Amanda’s International Feng Shui School and discovered that she was able to help her clients set up their homes for personal success too! This combined with Art Therapy allowed her to guide her clients to explore their creativity more, which allowed them to be more in tune with the colors, artwork, and flow of the home itself.

The interconnection of Art Therapy and Feng Shui mainly took the form of repatterning old programs of environment, where she found her clients all had habits, perhaps formed from childhood and others formed through adulthood that often created a negative cycle. Now, she can provide them with repatterning tools like decluttering, healing from within, Art Therapy practices, or taking time to meditate or reflect through art that then guides them to breaking negative cycles.

A beautiful part of this episode for me was as we started diving deeper into generational trauma, Jacqueline expressed how much wisdom is buried deep within our roots. As we start unpacking trauma and releasing what does not serve us, we also keep emotional reminders and keepsakes within our consciousness as pearls of wisdom. Sometimes it’s on what you’d rather want to break the cycle of, other times it’s areas in which you’d want to improve for the next generation.

Through her Art Therapy and holistic healing modalities, she’s found ways to restore, rebuild and release with her clients, and teach them grounding techniques for their continued healing.
Toward the end of the episode, Jacqueline shares her tips on how to use Yoga, meditation, Art Therapy, Feng Shui, reflection, and everyday rituals to create an environment supportive of holistic healing.

If you’re on the path of holistic healing, or you have an interest in Art Therapy or Feng Shui, then this is the podcast for you. Like me, so many of my students, including Jacqueline, started out learning from various cultures and modalities like Yoga, Reiki, Pilates, and Meditation and started incorporating Feng Shui and other holistic healing practices into their tool kit. When you’re on the path of a holistic healer then you’ll find that one modality always fits into another. That is why when I speak of Feng Shui, I always say that it pairs and interconnects with all the other holistic healing functions.

Are you ready to expand on your holistic healing journey or upgrade your services?

Join us for a captivating yet informative episode about what Geopathic stress is and how it affects us with special guest Alex Stark, a renowned Geomancer, Shaman, Feng Shui Expert, and Architect. 
In short, Geopathic stress refers to disturbances in the earth's energies that can significantly impact our lives. In this episode, we explore what Geopathic Stress is, how it affects us, and the potential remedies it offers.
Geopathic stress manifests in ways similar to high forms of stress experienced by our bodies, leading to illnesses or imbalances. From sleeplessness and infertility to cancers, headaches, and larger mechanical failures in construction, the negative effects of Geopathic stress are far-reaching, but not impossible to remedy, heal, and cure. The magical component to land healing is that as we heal the land, it heals us in return. 
In this episode, we explore how Geopathic stress can influence the behavior of animals and attract or repel certain behaviors, how humans react to it, and how it can affect us mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. We explore these themes more in our Online Geomancy & Land Healing Certification course, where you can gain practical insights into areas with geopathic stress, implement effective remedies, and utilize dowsing techniques to identify these problem areas. Ultimately, we provide actionable practices on transforming environments to foster support and well-being.
By becoming a skilled geomancer and equipping yourself with the knowledge to remedy geopathic stress, you'll be able to assist clients struggling with infertility, aid farmers in improving livestock and harvests, and provide valuable support to families experiencing conflicts and challenges among many more benefits. 
Don't miss this episode as we unravel the mysteries of Geopathic Stress and uncover the transformative power of Geomancy. Tune in to expand your understanding of this field and learn how you can make a positive impact on the well-being of individuals, communities, the collective consciousness, and the environment at large.
We would like to gift you with our FREE Geomancy mini-course, where you can build a foundational knowledge of Geomancy and Land Healing, get a taste of our teaching style, and more importantly, start implementing these transformative healing practices in your own life.
