Hi guys, I am Marta. I am a practical feng shui consultant and my passion is to help bring peace, calm and harmony into your home, one space at a time. As you listen to this podcast, you will learn about the many different ways through which you can work with your home to make it feel lighter and to make everyday life feel easier and better.My goal is to share my knowledge,  experience, and personalized Feng Shui methods with you, so that you can create a home that supports the life that you want to live. My approach is not about creating the “perfect home”, because let’s face it, “perfect” is not an actual thing. But rather to bring more balance into your space and to create a home that fits and supports the real life that you lead. I truly believe that when your space supports you, you have more patience, more connection, and more energy for the people who matter most in your life. You have more peace and joy within yourself, and as a result you live a more fulfilled life. These are the things that I hope to bring into your space using Feng Shui principales combined with my practical and modern approach. I hope to connect with you all, and I’m so excited to welcome you to Harmony By Marta, the Podcast. I hope you enjoy.

    Episode 5: Keeping Your Home’s Energy Clear When Guests Visit

    What if your home could feel just as calm after the party as it did before it? Now that November is here, Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and then comes Christmas, Hanukkah, New Year’s, and Kwanzaa. Whichever holiday you celebrate, chances are you’ll have more people coming in and out of your home over the next few months. In this episode, I talk about what happens to the energy of your home when guests visit. Everyone and everything carries energy, and your home, being an enclosed space, holds on to whatever people bring in with them. I share simple ways to keep the energy uplifting while guests are over, and how to clear it afterwards so your home can return to the calm, supportive place it was before. You don’t have to do everything I mention. Start with one thing, see how it feels, and add more as you go along on your entertaining journey. In this episode Why your home’s rhythm changes when guests arrive, and what they bring in through your front doorHow selenite, obsidian, and black tourmaline work differently to clear and absorb energyWhere to place crystals around your front door and the areas your guests will visitSpeaking an intention out loud to your home before everyone arrivesOpening all doors and windows, cleansing with incense or palo santo, and releasing any energy that isn’t yours when guests leaveHow seating arrangements and place cards can support smooth conversation and good energyWashing tablecloths and dishes right away, and removing anything that has absorbed your guests’ energyAsking guests to take off their shoes, or using disposable shoe covers insteadWashing your floors with cinnamon, lemon, or orange peel in the waterReading a candle flame to know when the energy has clearedWhy a broken item, an argument, or a leak the day after guests leave may be more than a coincidenceTimestamps 00:01:33 Why I’m talking about guests and the holidays00:02:24 How guests change the energy of your home00:05:27 Crystals for your entryway00:07:51 Setting an intention before guests arrive00:08:49 Clearing your home when guests leave00:09:52 Seating arrangements00:11:17 Washing away your guests’ energy00:12:53 Shoes at the door00:13:40 Washing your floors00:15:04 Reading the candle flame00:16:21 Starting small and final thoughtsStart with the free guide If you're not sure where to begin, start with my free guide, Create a More Harmonious Home.

    Episode 4: Bedroom Do’s and Don’ts

    What if your bedroom could help you rest, reset, and feel more connected? I’ve been getting so many questions lately about the bedroom. What can we keep in there? What shouldn’t we keep in there? Can we store things under the bed? How do we get the arguments out of the bedroom? So I figured I would do a quick episode with my favorite suggestions. In this episode, I walk you through the do’s and don’ts for your bedroom: from the headboard and bedsheet colors to mirrors, artwork, photos, plants, storage, and where to place your bed. The bedroom is there for your reset, your sleep, your rest, and your relationship, and a few small changes can help it do exactly that. And if you listen and think, “There’s nothing I can do about that,” don’t worry. Feng Shui has many remedies, and I’m here to help. In this episode Choose a sturdy headboard, ideally wood or another natural materialKeep both sides of the bed even, with two nightstands, two lamps, and matching rugs, to support balance in your relationshipStick to neutral bedsheets in beige, sand, or taupe (or sage green for growth), and skip red, orange, blue, black, and stark whiteKeep mirrors out of the open and never facing the bedChoose artwork that comes in pairs, like peonies, swans, ducks, or a couple holding handsDisplay photos of you and your partner onlyStore nothing under the bed if you can, or keep it soft, clean, and cozyKeep one live plant at most, or choose fresh flowers insteadLeave a small gap between your furniture and the wall, and choose rounded corners where you canKeep work materials, workout equipment, clothes, and clutter out of the bedroomMove electronics as far from your bed as possibleAvoid the “coffin position,” where your bed is in a straight line with the doorClose your bedroom door at night, and open the windows for 10 to 15 minutes each morningUse dimmable lights to shift the energy from day to eveningKeep religious items out of the bedroomTimestamps 00:01:38 Why I’m talking about the bedroom today00:02:23 Start with a sturdy headboard00:03:01 Keep everything in pairs00:04:00 Bedsheet colors and materials00:06:20 Mirrors00:07:27 Artwork00:09:06 Photos00:10:19 Storage under the bed00:11:30 Plants and flowers00:12:48 Furniture placement and what not to keep in the bedroom00:14:21 Rounded furniture, electronics, and clutter00:15:35 Bed placement and the coffin position00:16:42 Doors, windows, and lighting00:17:42 Religious items00:18:01 Remedies and final thoughtsStart with the free guide If you're not sure where to begin, start with my free guide, Create a More Harmonious Home.
