EPISODE SUMMARY:

What is Feng Shui? How can it impact the essential 9 areas of our lives? What are the 5 elements we should introduce in our home? This episode answers these questions and examines much more.

Our guest is Kristina Hollinger, a Feng Shui expert and author who has been practicing Feng Shui for over 10 years. You might even recognize her as the Feng Shui consultant for HGTV’s Windy City Rehab. Kristina explains how Feng Shui helps you create a free flow of energy in your space which results in you having more clarity, more productivity, and attract prosperity.

She describes the three steps to practice Feng Shui:

Step One: Use the Bagua Map

Have you ever noticed that you love some rooms in your home, but other spaces you avoid? Your home tells a story! The bagua map will help you discover which rooms correlate to specific areas of life.

For example, you have a career, wealth and relationship area. Once you know this information, you can change your life narrative by making simple adjustments to your environment that will yield magical, life-altering results!

Step Two: Apply the Elements

You can use the feng shui elements with intention to create major shifts in all areas of life. The five feng shui elements: fire, water, metal, earth and wood.

Each element can be represented in three ways: shape, color, and the actual element itself. For example, the wood element activates the wealth area of the home. You could represent the wood element with the shape of a vertical rectangle, the color green, or actual wood products such as furniture, bamboo plants, or a bonsai tree.

Step Three: Declutter Your Life

You can clean each gua, or area of your home, with intention in order to make space for your dreams! Although this is not the first step that I introduce in feng shui, it is the most essential step. The best part is that it is free and effective!

Kristina Hollinger:

Kristina has always been inspired by the magnificence of Chicago and all of the possibilities here. Chicago is a major part of her feng shui journey, and it is where it all began…

Newly married and living in the South Loop, she had a new teaching job and workout regimen that kept her busy.

As she looked around our apartment, she had an uneasy feeling. All the walls were stark white and hadn’t been painted since they moved in three years ago. In her spare time, she decided she would start to spruce up the place; make it a little more welcoming and comfortable. That’s when she discovered feng shui!

She earned how to arrange furniture and use the bagua map to decorate with specific shapes and colors so that her home looked and felt better. Her apartment finally felt more inviting, but to her surprise, feng shui did much more than enhance the aesthetic appeal.

The knowledge of feng shui was too good to keep to herself, so she earned my Feng Shui Consultant Certification from the Feng Shui School of Chicago with Laurie Pawli, a student of the late Professor Thomas Lin Yun, who brought the BTB School to the U.S. from China in the 1980’s. She became a Red Ribbon Professional Member of the International Feng Shui Guild.

It has been nearly a decade since she started to experience the power of feng shui. Feng shui continues to serve her family in mystical ways! She lives a feng shui lifestyle because it empowers her to fulfill her dreams with grace and ease. It is her intention to teach the magic of feng shui so that her students too can design the lives they deserve.
