Practical Feng Shui Tips | 032

Tess Masters
About this episode

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.  

 

TESS’S TAKEAWAYS: 

  • Have the courage to follow the breadcrumbs of your intuition.  
  • Embracing body intelligence opens doors to healing. 
  • Reiki can provide physical relief and a deeper connection to self. 
  • Feng Shui can be a powerful manifestation and energy tool. 
  • Our physical spaces should reflect what we want in life.  
  • Creating a sanctuary in our homes can enhance wellbeing. 
  • Recognize the abundance that already exists to welcome more. 
  • Putting plants in your surroundings promotes growth and nurturing. 

ABOUT SARA BIRD NELSON: 

Founded in years of experience in the healing arts, Sara's approach is rooted in the belief that when we align our internal realities with our physical surroundings we gain clarity and can experience personal transformation.  

As a reiki master and teacher, Sara engages in energy work that helps clients release blockages and cultivate a deeper connection to self. 

As a feng shui practitioner, Sara combines ancient Chinese philosophies and modern design concepts to help people create harmonious living spaces that align with their desires to support growth and wellbeing.  

Through group workshops and one-on-one consultations, Sara guides individuals to find balance within themselves and with their external environments to achieve happiness.
