Episode 270: Create a Mindful Kitchen with Feng Shui
Anjie Cho & Laura Morris, Mindful Design

In celebration of our forthcoming book, “Mindful Living: A guide to the everyday magic of feng shui” (August 13, 2024 CICO Books) we are initiating a new miniseries entitled “Creating a Mindful Home with Feng Shui” in which we will be exploring the symbolic meaning of each room. For the third installment we are taking a look at the kitchen. What does your kitchen symbolize for you? One of the most used areas of the home, the kitchen is considered a symbol of your health, resources, and nourishment. In this space, fire and water alchemize and transform into medicine for our body and spirit. A well maintained kitchen is foundational to cultivating more mindfulness in your home.

We cover:

  • What our kitchens mean to us

  • The stove as the main character in your kitchen and how it influences your finances and overall well-being

  • The importance of keeping your stove clean and tidy at all times

  • What is your relationship to food?

  • Ways to maintain a bright and fresh energy in your kitchen

And much more.

Anjie Cho & Laura Morris, Mindful Design

For episode 267, we are once again joined by our dear friend and mentor, Katherine Metz, for another installment in our series Small Bites from Pure Professor. This month’s Small Bite is all about spring time and the Wood Element. Related to upward movement and growth, Wood is most commonly associated with the energy of spring and the colors green and blue. From the BTB perspective, Wood is often understood as benevolent and kind, supporting greater empathy, understanding and diplomacy. On today’s show we take a good look at how we can work with the energy of the Wood Element to better nurture and support these qualities in our own lives and homes.

In other exciting news Katherine has joined the Mindful Design Feng Shui School to co-teach an advanced training program called Pure Professor . Click here to learn more.

We cover:

  • Keeping our own wood qualities in balance during year of the Wood Dragon

  • The benevolence and kindness of the Wood Element from the BTB perspective

  • The energetic nature associated with the Spring Equinox

  • How house plants can help to balance wood energy

And much more.
