Have you ever walked into a home and immediately felt at ease, or entered another and felt uncomfortable without knowing why? You may be more sensitive to qi than you realize. On this week’s episode, we explore how architectural and feng shui choices influence the way we experience a space, often on a subconscious level. From the micro (a dirty window) to the macro (a home filled with angled walls), even seemingly small design details can shape how a space feels and whether it invites us to stay, feel supported, and settle in—or makes us want to head for the hills!
We cover:
-The importance of qi in feeling good in a home
-How sensitivity to energy influences perception of space
-The five elements and their balance in home environments
-Blocked qi and stagnant energy in spaces
-Design details that impact the flow of energy
-The significance of architectural choices
-How to sense and improve the energy of your home

As we transition into autumn, we enter a liminal space where the boundaries between the physical and spiritual worlds feel thinner. In this episode of the Holistic Spaces Podcast, we reflect on the importance of remembering our loved ones during this season of remembrance, including Día de Muertos and All Souls’ Day.
We also honor our dear mentor, Rosalie Prinzivalli, who passed away in July, leaving behind a body of work that has touched lives around the world. Without Rosalie, we, Anjie and Laura, may never have met. Deeply missed by so many, Rosalie’s legacy lives on through her teachings and wisdom, which we are honored to continue sharing.
We cover:
-Autumn as a liminal season
-Cultural traditions of remembrance
-How remembering loved ones connects us to gratitude, interdependence, and the people and teachings that shaped us
-The history of yin feng shui and the traditional significance of ancestral burial sites.
-Remembering and honoring our late mentor, Rosalie Prinzivalli

Can space reading be learned, or is it an innate gift?
This week on the Holistic Spaces podcast, we explore a core feng shui question—and the answer is both practical and empowering: space reading is absolutely learnable.
But it isn’t just about memorizing feng shui tools or following a set of rules. It’s about developing observation, intuition, discernment, and practice together.
In this episode, we explore the balance between structure and sensitivity, and how feng shui can be both a system and a living, embodied practice.
We also reframe intuition: not as something you’re simply born with, but as something that can deepen through study, repeated observation, and experience.
We cover:
-The difference between learning feng shui tools and how to actually read a space
-Feng shui as a balance of yin and yang
-The practical building blocks of reading a space, including the five elements, bagua, forms, shapes, colors, materials, arrangements, and rituals
-Feng shui guidelines work best as perspectives and tools, not rigid prescriptions
-The value of lineage, community, and learning from teacher to student as part of developing feng shui fluency

🍁Happy (to those in the Northern hemisphere) Autumn!!!🍂
A new month means a new qi forecast, and this episode covers the shift into October through the lens of feng shui. October marks a continued transition into the darker, quieter part of the year. The energy of autumn is contracting as qi returns to the earth. Trees shed their leaves, plants die back, and the cycle of growth comes toward completion. We explain autumn’s energy, what the solar terms and moon phases mean for the month, and how to work with the autumnal energy. Plus, Anjie offers an I ching reading for the Holistic Spaces listener community and we share a list of auspicious days for each of the Chinese zodiac animal.
We cover:
-October marking the shift from autumn into darker, quieter yin energy
-The month’s solar terms
-The season’s invitation for completion, release, and ancestor remembrance
-October as the Month of the Dog, with supportive and challenging zodiac pairings
-Ways to align with October’s energy

What does it really mean to become a feng shui teacher? In this episode, we’re joined once again by our dear friend Katherine Metz for a wide-ranging and heartfelt conversation about our experiences as feng shui teachers—and what it takes to move from learning the foundations to truly embodying the practice.
We also discuss the Pure Professor program, our offering for deeper study and mentorship designed for everyone from feng shui certification graduates to experienced practitioners who are ready to take their work to the next level.
We discuss the importance of long-term mentorship, meaningful teacher-student relationships, and ongoing access to senior guidance can be so transformative. Because becoming a great practitioner isn’t just about learning more—it’s about having the support, perspective, and guidance to turn knowledge into lived expertise.
We cover:
Katherine's role as an archivist of Professor Lin Yun’s teachings
The crucial nature of learning within a lineage
The importance of cultivated wisdom
The everlasting value of a mentor relationship
The joys of teaching feng shui
How experienced feng shui practitioners can continue to learn and grow

In this episode, we continue our five elements series with a conversation about metal and its connection to autumn. We are once again joined by our mentor, feng shui master teacher Katherine Metz, to explore metal as wisdom, refinement, right action, and the ability to let go with precision and grace.
Together, we move beyond the idea that metal is simply rigid or controlling. We discuss its quieter, yin qualities: reflection, joy, completion, clarity, and the wisdom that develops through life experience.
We cover:
-Metal as the element of wisdom and how hardship can reveal valuable insight
-Metal’s qualities of clarity, precision, refinement, structure, and right action
-Metal’s relationship to letting go, including releasing regrets, outdated habits, and things that no longer serve us
-Metal’s role in communication, advocacy, and using language that is clear, precise, and considerate.

We are digging into our archives and sharing four of our most popular and asked about episodes from the past decade. With almost 400 conversations about feng shui and creating nurturing spaces, these are some of the episodes that have most resonated with our listeners and we are delighted to revisit them. Every Monday in August will feature a “best of” episode!
On this week’s episode we are exploring an exercise from our new book, Mindful Living: A guide to the everyday magic of feng shui, in which we recommend colors as supportive elements based on individual Nine Star Ki numbers. Nine Star Ki is an ancient form of astrology that is intertwined with the five elements, the bagua, and the I Ching. Your Nine Star Ki can help you to better understand your personal energy and how you can support it. Understanding how color can support this energy is vital and FUN way to support this energy!
What we talk about in this episode:
-How to calculate your Nine Star Ki
-The different earth elements associated with each number
-Your color profile and how to work with it
-Archetypes associated with each number/color profile

In this episode, we are back with our monthly qi forecast, exploring August 2026 as a threshold month — a time when summer begins to soften and transition into autumn. We talk through the month’s solar terms, moon cycles, and zodiac influences, and share practical ways to slow down, ground, and work with the shifting qi rather than resist it.
We also discuss how to align your home and daily routines with Earth energy during this seasonal change, including simple feng shui tips for stability, reflection, and preparation for autumn. We close with an I Ching reading that reminds us to treat challenges as gifts and to protect our light with humility, calm, and self-care.
What we talk about in this episode:
-Why August feels like a threshold month
-The beginning of autumn in the Chinese solar calendar
-August’s solar terms and moon cycles
-The energy of harvest, abundance, and grounding

Notas del episodio
In this episode, we explore the question of whether clutter really affects energy. We look at how clutter can create stagnation, stress, and emotional heaviness in a home, but also how not every bit of mess is bad feng shui. Sometimes a little disorder is part of a creative, active life.
We also share a more personal approach to decluttering through the five elements: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. Good feng shui is not about perfection or minimalism — it’s about noticing what supports your life and creating space for qi to flow more freely.
What we talk about in this episode:
*How clutter can affect the flow of qi in a home
-Decluttering as a deeply personal and not one-size-fits-all pursuit
-The five elements can help identify your decluttering style
-How to welcome more awareness with feng shui
-Small actions to begin to shift the energy
