Episode 283: Mindful Cleaning: Everyday Magic Rituals
Anjie Cho & Laura Morris, Mindful Design

Following up on our spring cleaning episode from last April, for episode 283 we are taking a deeper look at creating magic rituals when cleaning and space clearing. Cleaning your home can be a mindful and magical practice using a feng shui ritual imbued with energy and awareness. Sweeping floors and cleaning the stove may seem like mundane chores but with a mindful approach, any act of cleaning can be supercharged with intention.

We cover:

  • The ancient and cross-cultural symbolism of floor sweeping

  • Creating your own cleaning solutions with non-toxic ingredients such as essential oils and purified water

  • Burning incense as a traditional way of manifesting our prayers or intentions to send them up to the heavens

  • How a new broom is a symbol of fresh and auspicious start in a new home

    Plus more…

Episode 282: Summer Solstice and the Fire Element
Anjie Cho & Laura Morris, Mindful Design

In the Northern Hemisphere, June 20th marks the Summer Solstice, the official start of astronomical summer. Earth's pole is tilted toward the sun at its most extreme angle and the longest day or period of sunlight all year. These times are fun to honor and observe because they connect us to a time hundreds (even thousands) of years ago when our ancestors stared at the sky. For episode 282 we are discussing the solstice and how we can embrace the qi of both the Fire and Water elements.

We cover:

  • June 20th, the Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere

  • The qi of both the Fire and Water elements

  • How can you embrace both of these elements in your own home and life to celebrate the solstice

  • Ways to mark and honor the solstice
