Hi Anjie, I love your blog and podcast! I would love to know: if you could only give one feng shui tip to someone, what would it be?

Thank you so much for your question! The most important piece of feng shui advice I can give to anyone (it’s also the last tip in my book) is to love your home. If you’ve been incorporating a lot of feng shui tips, remember that it’s your home so your energy and intentions are key. It’s not about taking something you read from a book or something that someone told you as truth. It’s important to test things out and see how they feel for you personally. My goal is to suggest things based on what I’ve personally learned and experienced as powerful, but that doesn’t mean what works for me or my clients will necessarily be the right thing for you. Not every adjustment is necessary for every person.

Each time you try a feng shui adjustment, take some time to reflect and see how it feels to you. Does it feel good? If not, try shifting something until it does. It’s also possible that something worked well in the past and now needs to be updated.

You want to love the way your home looks and feels. The most rewarding thing about what I do, whether I am teaching my students to become feng shui consultants, working with individuals in their homes, or working with architecture clients, is helping people transform their homes and spaces into places they really love.

I encourage you to take a look around your home and take note of what you love and also what doesn’t feel right any more. The more love and attention you give to your home, the more your home will serve and support you. BTB feng shui is also a shamanic tradition and everything is considered alive, so you can even say thank you to your home for supporting and nurturing you.

What I have always loved about architecture is not just designing buildings for how they look, but creating spaces that can support people. This is why I love working with interior spaces as well as teaching, so that my students can create spaces they love, and help their clients to do the same.
