THE GOLD FROM THIS EPISODE

“The power of feng shui is connecting the energy of our surroundings, heart, and home.”

Sara Bird Nelson

Feng Shui Practitioner and Reiki Master

“To bring in more money, walk around your home and tune into the abundance that is already around you. The fact that you have a roof over your head, four walls around you, and running water is abundance. We overlook the already abundant energy that we're holding and can build on because we are focussed on the next thing.”

Sara Bird Nelson

Feng Shui Practitioner and Reiki Master

“In feng shui, mirrors are gathering spots for energy. We want to create a meandering gentle river of energy through our homes.”

Sara Bird Nelson

Feng Shui Practitioner and Reiki Master

“Doorways are opportunities. The energy from the universe enters through your front door and follows you into your home. Place a mirror to the side of the door above a table to put your keys inviting you to pause, and slow down the energy so it doesn’t escape.”

Sara Bird Nelson

Feng Shui Practitioner and Reiki Master

“Practice grounding by stepping on the grass or in the sand, and feeling the vibration of the earth to start to intertwine the energy of your heart with the energy of your surroundings.”

“Being present should be your priority. Practice noticing what you are feeling, and following the breadcrumbs of your intuition.”

Sara Bird Nelson

Feng Shui Practitioner and Reiki Master

“Through reiki, I learned how to speak to my body to alleviate stress. I would sit in meditation and talk to my nervous system telling myself a story about feeling calm, and looking forward to the day.”

  • Sara Bird Nelson shares her unique blend of reiki and feng shui, and how we can balance our energy and create physical spaces that align with what we want to bring into our lives.

  • She recalls how an unexplained numbness in her face, hand, and foot were her wake-up call to listen to her body, manage stress better, and quit the job that was the source of her stress. Reiki contributed to her healing. That inspired Sara to become a master and teacher of the practice.

  • In her recovery, she realized the intensity of the impact physical surroundings have on wellbeing. Developing that knowledge, she became a feng shui practitioner.

  • Bringing together the principles of reiki and feng shui, Sara helps clients balance the energy in their bodies and align the energy of their physical surroundings with their goals.

  • We discuss how to use basic feng shui principles to create living spaces that provide sanctuary. Sara gives practical tips for mindfully choosing decor, strategically placing beds and mirrors, and integrating plants into your environment.

  • What’s great about Sara’s approach is that you don’t need to go and buy stuff. You can use the abundance you already have to curate environments that invite in how you want to feel.
