Holistic Spaces | the feng shui podcast by Mindful Design Anjie Cho & Laura Morris

Both ancient and contemporary, cartomancy as a divination practice is a deep and meaningful way to access inner knowledge and connect to the qi of a situation or person. Through the use of use symbols, images, and patterns, oracle decks can help us to shift our perspective, hone our intuition, and challenge us to look at hidden parts of ourselves. Laura has studied and practiced tarot and for several years and for this week's episode, she offers a primer on oracle decks, including how to find the right deck (or decks!) to best suit you.

When it comes to shifting the flow of qi within your home, space clearing is one of the most useful and accessible adjustments that we can recommend. All spaces have energy that affects the inhabitants and space clearing can help to even out the energy and harmonize your home. For episode 273 we are taking a look at how you can create your own rituals within your home to shift the flow of qi with space clearing.

For the third installment we are taking a look at the kitchen. What does your kitchen symbolize for you? One of the most used areas of the home, the kitchen is considered a symbol of your health, resources, and nourishment. In this space, fire and water alchemize and transform into medicine for our body and spirit. A well maintained kitchen is foundational to cultivating more mindfulness in your home.
