Episode 356: Holiday Healing with Feng Shui

·23 min·2 clips
Angie shares how to use oranges for Feng Shui space clearing, including simmering peels to purify your home's energy.
The holidays can stir up family tension. Angie first gives newsletter subscribers a timely nudge toward a winter solstice Zoom gathering, tied to the culminating yin qi of winter. Then the teaching settles in. Holiday healing, in this episode, means making small changes at home when winter already asks people to slow down and soften a little. Family harmony sits at the center. Angie explains that three areas of the feng shui bagua can help when holiday plans, old patterns, or family dynamics feel extra charged. The bagua is visual, which makes the audio version a little tricky. Laura says as much, gently, and points listeners to YouTube, the book, or the free bagua e-kit if they need the map in front of them. Green comes first. In the conversation, that area is called New Beginnings; in the book, it is growth. Either way, the hosts link it to fresh movement in family life, not forced resolution. Pink comes next with nurture. That part of the map connects to partnership and relationships, but the hosts open it up beyond romance into the care people offer each other. Gray brings benefactor energy. In the book, the word is alignment, and here it becomes another way to invite support when holiday emotions get messy. The pace stays loose and workshop-like, with small corrections and check-ins as Angie and Laura find the right wording. The close returns to practical next steps: download the map, open the book, watch the video version, join the newsletter, check YouTube, and look at upcoming courses, the free winter retreat, the Lunar New Year offering for the year of the horse, and certification opportunities.
