I started this podcast in 2011 (originally called Zen Chakkra) because I wanted to talk about our Homes (which is how we improve our environments from toxic ones to healing ones), Energy and all the magic it gives us (if we allow it to) and how we can use this information to Design our best lives possible. Through evolution and metamorphosis, a name change to Design 101, and a divorce just for good measure, Home Energy Design was born. This podcast is all about designing spaces, external and internal, that feel damn good through advanced Feng Shui principles and other amazing holistic ingredients. Through my own journey I've learned that if your home is not energy aligned, then no matter how much money you spend or how beautiful it is, the home will always feel off. And this is no different than our external lives, it's the Energy that matters most, not the mansion, Ferrari and the thirst for more! Join host advanced Feng Shui practioner of over 20 years Amanda Gates as she explores energy alignment, holistic living, sustainability, metaphysics, quantum physics, Feng Shui, meditation, enlightenment and so much more. "The more you talk about it, the more you think about it the further from it you go." My hope is that this show inspires you to stop doing and start being!
