Quick Intro And Big Energy

SPEAKER_00 0:06

I'm so glad that you're here. You're listening to What the Fuck Did She Just Say? With your host. That's me, Santa Cruzley. I'm all about living our best life and finding our zone of brilliance and then removing the resistance so that we can go all in. I say random crazy shit, which is why I called this podcast the way that I did. And I really hate long, drawn-out intros. So let's fucking go.

Childhood Clues From Room Changes

SPEAKER_00 0:38

Welcome back to another episode of What the Fuck Did She Just Say? Today I want to tell you a little bit about my journey with Feng Shui. Now, I often say that I have been using Feng Shui since I was about six or seven. For real. I just didn't really know what it was. When I was growing up, I innately knew that when my room felt great, I felt better. Shifting my room around, changing my room around, changing the paint color or the wallpaper really made me feel like excited again and happy again. And magically, it's like my problems went away. My little six-year-old, seven-year-old problems went away. It's amazing how you can feel different in your space when you adjust your space to make you feel good or to like give you something more interesting to look at, different to look at. It just feels different, right?

What Feng Shui And Qi Mean

SPEAKER_00 1:40

If we look at like a traditional classical feng shui um definition, it's the ancient Chinese practice of arranging your environment in a way that supports harmony, balance, and the flow of energy, which we know is called qi, in your life. It is based on the concept that our surroundings influence how we think, feel, and experience different areas of our lives, including health, relationships, prosperity. I mean, there's nine of them in the Bagwa map. And so really, feng shui is about understanding that our home is speaking to us. When you understand the energy patterns, you can use those energy patterns to literally create shifts in your life. I've seen it happen so many times, it is mind-blowing. For real, for real. So when I was younger, if I felt kind of crappy, I felt sort of down. If something happened at school, I would say to my mom, can we just wallpaper my room? Which PS is why I have wallpaper in my office. It's for that exact reason. It's like a nod to my feng shui history. And then when I was a teenager, I would come home from school, get off the bus at four o'clock,

Why Bagua Maps Get Confusing

the Oprah Winfrey show would be on. And one day I will never forget, she had her feng shui practitioner on her on her show. This feng shui consultant went through her home and sort of like explained a little bit about feng shui and why she had made some suggestions to Oprah that she had. And all of a sudden, I remember thinking, oh, this is why my room feels better when I shift it, when I change it. It's why my room feels good. And so from that moment on, like in high school, I started going to the library and learning what I could about Feng Shui. It was really confusing. I remember being in the library going, okay, wait, but so there's this bagwa map, and that map really shows like which area of my home is wisdom, self-knowledge, which area of my home is relationships, which area of my home is wealth, what area of my home is life path. Like I got it. But what was most frustrating was it seemed like all of the things that I was reading conflicted, and I didn't really understand how. What I came to realize that there's actually different disciplines of feng shui. There's classical, there's western. I personally do BTD feng shui, and I feel like it was the one that spoke most to me because it did have a lot of psychology and how your space affects you psychologically. I just thought that was amazing. It has some roots in Buddhism, which I just absolutely love. Like there was so much, it was so rich, and it was the type of feng shui that just made the most sense to me. And what I know to be true is that if you're following one discipline of feng shui, it'll make a lot more sense. But boy, oh boy, if you don't know which one you are following, it can be really, really confusing. I actually had a client reach out to me just a little while ago, and she was confused about how to lay this energy map over her space, and she used Chat GPT. ChatGPT gave her three different ways to lay this bag one map on her home, and they were all wrong. The best example of don't rely on Chat GPT. But the reason it's so confusing is because there's so many different disciplines.

Designing Space For Your Goals

SPEAKER_00 5:40

And what I love about it, if you're listening to me, you're going to know that I fully believe that feng shui is the art of designing your home so that it speaks to you and speaks to your subconscious mind in a way that supports your goals. Now there is the energy map called a bagwa map. There are specific areas in your home that are related to nine different areas of your life. And when you know how they work and what those areas love to have in them, how you can manifest your goals. It's incredible. Feng shui can be like your secret weapon. It's like when you've done all that you can do and your life isn't shifting, use your space to speak to your subconscious mind, but also to speak to the universe. Feng shui is like my secret weapon. When I'm working with clients, let's say I'm working with clients on business success. We don't just look at the strategy to take them from where they are to where they want to be. We also look at their mindset. What are they saying to themselves? How are they holding themselves back? What else can we do to make things a lot easier? But we also look at the energy that they have, the energy in their space, and we use feng shui as our secret weapon to help us shift the universe to propel us forward. Outside of just the successes that I've had using feng shui, which there are so many of them, but I've worked with women who have been able to manifest jobs. They have one money, they have one like tractors, little little garden tractors for their kids. Um they have they have gotten hundred thousand dollar contracts. Um, like it is unbelievable. They have sold their homes faster, they have gotten new promotions, new jobs, more money. They have been able to bridge relationships with estranged children. I mean, it is endless, the things that Feng Shui can do. And I think that we forget that our space is a powerful co-creator for all the things that we want. Take a look around your space right now. And I want you to think, what is this space saying to me? What does it feel like? Does this space feel like the person I want to be? Or does this space feel like it's just a container for my crap? If your home is a container for your stuff, we've
