In this episode, we reflect on what we learned from our previous episode with Anjie Cho from Mindful Design Feng Shui School and Holistic Spaces. We chat about the idea of beauty as an act of witnessing and being seen. What does it mean to "be seen" and how does witnessing others influence the way we think about beauty? Is is possible to be beautiful without being witnessed or seen by others? Is beauty about external validation or something multilayered? Show Notes Elemental Archetypes offers Daoist facial analysis consultations and Yangsheng guidance to reclaim beauty through self-cultivation. Yang Face is a line of undiluted, unappropriated luxurious Chinese Facial Tools from a direct source. Thank you to Diana Ho for the pre-production research!

“Practicing Feng Shui is a way to have mindfulness in respect to your surroundings - all of the little details impact your wellbeing, your stress levels and how you show up in the world.” ~ Anjie Cho Our guest today Anjie Cho, green architect, feng shui expert, and author of Holistic Spaces, says that through observing and shifting the built environment, feng shui (an ancient Asian art of placement) teaches us how to live in harmony with nature. Feng shui adjustments can bring balance to your home, health and life because the principles are founded upon cycles and patterns of nature and ancient knowledge. Today in our conversation with Anjie, we cover what feng shui actually means and it’s importance related to creating a holistic home. Anjie shares about her journey from exhaustion starting her own business and the big leaps she committed to making that led to greater ease and success in her career. She breaks down the foundational principles of Feng Shui including the Bagua map, themes, elements, colors, and gives us tips on how to boost the area of nourishment, wealth, and prosperity with small tweaks in your home space. This was such a fun and illuminating interview with lots of easy and practical tips, PLUS we are having a Feed Your Wild x Holistic Spaces giveaway!
