Special Guest Janet Louie: Taoist Geomancy - Feng Shui is often referred to as geomancy, especially the styles of Feng Shui that include reading the energy of the land known as San Yuan Feng Shui. However Taoist (Dao) geomancy takes things to a deeper level, by tapping into a deeper level of both your intuition and unseen earth energies Taoist Feng Shui can address issues that a typical Feng Shui master may not be aware of. Harmful energies or disturbances that can be found within the earth's natural electromagnetic field as well as underground disturbances such as water or fault lines. It's also believed that land can hold historic trauma from previous residents, war etc.

These energies are believed to have a negative impact on human health, however they can be detected using various tools and techniques using Tao Gemoancy . Taoist geomancy aims to identify and mitigate geopathic stress & trauma to the land by looking at factors deep in the earth harmonizing the flow of qi, promoting positive energy, and creating a more harmonious living environment. By incorporating principles of feng shui and other ancient practices, Taoist geomancy seeks to create spaces that support physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.

Healing our inner child and trauma is a vital aspect of personal growth and emotional well-being. One profound method used by todays guest Stacy Scott, has proven effective in achieving this is with Feng Shui. By looking at our living spaces and creating a nurturing environment, Feng Shui enables us to connect with our inner child and address past traumas head-on. This holistic approach of balancing the energies in our surroundings encourages self-reflection and cultivates a safe space for emotional healing. As we declutter our homes and rearrange furniture to promote positive energy flow, we can intentionaly clear away the emotional baggage that has been weighing us down. Ultimately, using Feng Shui as a tool for healing our inner child and trauma allows us to create a harmonious sanctuary where we can flourish, grow, and rediscover our authentic selves.

Stacy's holistic approach to home design takes into account not just the physical space, but also the mental and emotional needs of the people who live there. Her background as an occupational therapist has given her a unique perspective when it comes to understanding the changing needs and functions of our homes over time.  With the integration of Feng Shui principles into her approach, Stacy is able to not only ensure that a home is physically accommodating but also emotionally supportive.
