Holistic Spaces | the feng shui podcast by Mindful Design

It’s the height of summer, everything is in full bloom and for episode 237, we’re talking about our favorite flowers and how they relate to feng shui. Flowers are often used in feng shui to boost the qi of a space. They are a source of fresh, uplifting energy, and bringing fresh flowers into your home is a great way to unstick anything that is feeling stuck. Flowers also invite more joy, and they invite us to contemplate the beauty in impermanence since they are so fleeting.
