Can your home actually make you feel calmer, happier, more focused — and maybe even more abundant?This week on Talking Smack 415, Debbie Mink and Jamie the Great sit down with Lisa Morton, holistic interior designer, Feng Shui master teacher, host of the Feng Shui Living Podcast, and author of Aligned at Home.Lisa spent years designing ultra-luxury private jet interiors before burnout, anxiety and panic attacks forced her to rethink not only how she was living — but how the spaces around her were affecting her wellbeing.That journey led her to Feng Shui, energy work and holistic interior design, and completely changed the way she thinks about our homes.We get into how your physical environment can affect your nervous system, energy, productivity, relationships and overall sense of wellbeing — without requiring a massive renovation or an HGTV-sized budget.We talk about:What Feng Shui actually is — and why it's not just woo-wooThe five elements: wood, fire, earth, metal and waterHow to use the Bagua map to understand the energy of your homeWhy the center of your home mattersThe importance of your front door — aka the “mouth of chi”How clutter can affect your nervous systemWhy the position of your desk can change how focused and productive you feelThe Feng Shui “command position” for working and studyingHow color psychology impacts mood and energyCreating balance when one person is a maximalist and another wants everything put awayWhy mirrors can amplify both the good AND the not-so-good in your homeSimple ways to reset the energy of a roomCrystals, plants, natural materials, space-clearing sprays and biophilic designHow to create a calmer, healthier dorm room in a tiny shared spaceWhy broken appliances, leaks and burned-out light bulbs are worth fixing ASAPAnd yes... why Lisa wants you to PUT THE TOILET SEAT DOWNOne of our favorite takeaways? Your home doesn't just need to look beautiful. It should support the way you want to feel.Whether you're sending a kid off to college, working from home, trying to get organized, living with people whose definition of “clean” is VERY different from yours, or simply craving a home that feels more peaceful, Lisa gives us small, realistic shifts that can make a surprisingly big difference.And because this is Talking Smack 415, we somehow also get into private jets, stingray-covered tabletops, Debbie's leopard print obsession, Jamie's house full of men, toilet seats, Botox and bangs.Because... obviously.
In this episode Randel and Owen talk with Derek Notman about training and teaching XinYi Liu He, Yang Style Taiji and the Guang Hua Zhe Zong Tong Yi Pai branch of the Gao Bagua style. From Island Physical Culture:"For over three decades, I have dedicated my life to the study of physical culture and philosophy. This pursuit has led me all over the world including time living in China and South East Asia, studying with traditional masters of martial, movement and healing arts.I have always sought to extract the essence of the traditions while connecting the common elements. Despite the uniqueness of each art and human form, there is a commonality to being in a body and so themes emerge. I have made it my life's work, to investigate and understand these themes and share them with others in a paradigm of traditional wisdom through embodied practice.The marriage of movement arts and healing skill leads to a more harmonious development and balanced expression of the individual.The beauty of a good practice is the continuity it provides despite the constancy of life's changes, rendering stable ground from which to observe the change.I have a strong passion for helping people discover their fullest potential to live healthier and happier lives, and I believe that movement and bodywork play a vital role in our ability to do so."Contact:You TubeWebsiteInstaFacebookNeed More From Kung Fu Conversations (KFC)?KFC EmailKFC InstagramKFC FacebookKFC Buy-Me-A-CoffeeKFC MerchNeed Kung Fu Training?Xingyi and Bagua in Colorado - Boulder Internal ArtsWing Chun in Colorado - Red Forest Chinese Boxing#kungfupanda #taichi #kungfu #kungfuconversations #meditation #qigong #wingchun #baguazhang #gaobagua

Under en tid har jag känt ett missnöje med min träning. Jag golfar, promenerar och yogar – men muskelträningen kommer jag bara inte igång med. Samtidigt kände jag intuitivt att något skavde hemma i område 5, som står för just hälsa och balans inom Feng Shui. Så jag ringde min vän och Feng Shui-konsult, Britt-Marie Löw.Feng Shui kan kännas klurigt, men i det här samtalet gör vi det enkelt och går igenom grunderna och tre av de nio Bagua-områden.Britt-Marie delar med sig av vad som hände när hon rensade i sitt eget område 4, och vi pratar om hur du kan använda Feng Shui som verktyg vid bristande självkänsla.

But first, I have to share something that filled my cup completely. Recently, I went home to my hometown for a talk and got to hug two of my elementary school teachers and reconnect with my very first friend, Wendy, who surprised me in the crowd. It was one of those days I'll hold onto for a long time. Going home to celebrate and share something I'm so proud of may have made my year!Then we dive into your questions:Adrienne wants to know how to bring more money and abundance into her home and life. I share my favorite way to start (a little everyday luxury), plus how to find and activate your wealth and abundance corner using the Bagua map.Marta is feeling frozen and stuck and wants to know what to do first. I walk her through a simple visualization to find the one thing that's holding her back.Jill asked one I hear all the time: how do you create a home that works for two people who like completely different things? I share my favorite tricks for blending styles.Whether you're craving more abundance, feeling stuck, or navigating decor with a partner who sees things differently, this episode has a little something for you.Links:Aligned at Home (book): https://www.purelivingwithlisamorton.com/book.htmlAligned at Home Workbook: https://www.purelivingwithlisamorton.com/book.htmlNever miss an episode — sign up for my newsletter: https://www.purelivingwithlisamorton.com/podcast.htmlBook a free 15-minute discovery call: https://www.purelivingwithlisamorton.com/work-with-me.html Support the showThanks so much for listening to Feng Shui Living!Make sure you subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts.
