Secretly Feng Shui-ing My Brother’s House

Updated: Mar 19


My family is incredibly supportive, loving, and always cheering me on. They know I live and breathe Feng Shui, but like many busy people, they don’t always have the time to dive into the details. My brother, for example, fully supports me, but between work and life, Feng Shui isn’t something he’d prioritize on his own.


So, I did what any good sister would do—I Feng Shui’d his house. Secretly.


Why? Because Feng Shui Works Whether You Think About It or Not


A common misconception about Feng Shui is that it’s just a spiritual practice or something you have to "believe in" for it to work. But here’s the truth: Feng Shui is about energy flow, environmental psychology, and practical design principles. It's like gravity—you don’t have to think about it for it to exist.


When a space is balanced, aligned, and optimized for positive energy, life naturally flows with more ease. Opportunities open up, health improves, relationships strengthen, and stress decreases. It’s not magic; it’s the art of creating intentional surroundings that support well-being.


Subtle Yet Powerful Feng Shui Shifts


I didn’t show up at my brother’s house with a bag of lucky charms and a golden toad statue. Instead, I made small, meaningful adjustments that enhanced the energy of his space—without adding anything to his to-do list.


✨ Creating an Inviting Entryway

Since my brother’s family mostly enters through the garage, their front door—where vital Chi flows in—was rarely used. I encouraged them to use it more often and refreshed the space by adding a sleek shoe rack, coat hangers, and keeping the nearby bathroom door closed to prevent energy from draining away.


✨ Optimizing the Wealth Corner

My brother’s office, located in the southeast wealth area of his home, needed a few Feng Shui tweaks. Over time, I suggested small changes—like repositioning his desk, repainting the walls, and upgrading his chair for better energy flow. For Christmas, I gifted him a carefully chosen Feng Shui-approved canvas. Now, he loves his office and is more productive than ever.


✨ Feng Shui for My Niece & Nephew

Instead of rearranging their rooms, I made Feng Shui fun by helping them create spaces that reflect who they are and who they want to become. My niece loved our “playtime” organizing her room, which made tidying up effortless. My nephew’s space needed the water element, so I got him a small aquarium—a simple fix that enhanced the energy in his room and gave him a pet to care for. The result? Better focus, improved sleep, and a greater sense of calm.


✨ Elevating the Kitchen’s Energy

The kitchen represents nourishment and abundance, so I made a few subtle suggestions. My sister-in-law took the lead, having a blast decluttering the countertops, organizing the pantry, and finding smart storage solutions. With just a few changes—like tucking away the knife block and removing my niece’s toys—the space now feels lighter, more functional, and energetically aligned.



Personalization is Key: My Approach with Family (and Everyone Else!)


One thing I emphasize in my Feng Shui practice is personalization—because no two people are the same. I always tailor my approach to what works best for the individual.

Take my sister-in-law, for example. She’s an incredible nurse practitioner, balancing a demanding career and motherhood. She supports me but doesn’t have time to focus on Feng Shui details.


So, where did I start? Her closet.


To make her mornings easier, I helped her simplify, declutter, and organize her wardrobe in a way that made getting ready effortless. No Feng Shui jargon—just practical solutions. And that’s what good Feng Shui is about: making life flow better.


Interior Design Meets Feng Shui: A Perfect Balance

When my brother and sister-in-law hired an interior designer, I loved seeing how aesthetics and energy flow could work together. The furniture placement was life-changing—I could feel the difference the moment I walked in.


While great design enhances a space visually, Feng Shui ensures the energy supports every aspect of life. By incorporating the right elements, colors, and placements, their home isn’t just beautiful—it’s intentionally aligned to enhance well-being, relationships, and success.



The Results? A Noticeable Shift in Energy


A few weeks later, my brother casually mentioned how his home just felt better. He was more productive, less stressed, and even landed a new work opportunity. My niece and nephew were doing better in school, sleeping well, and seemed happier overall.


And that’s the beauty of Feng Shui—it’s not about adding something extra to your plate. It’s about small, intentional changes that naturally create a space where life flows more smoothly.



The Lesson? Feng Shui is for Everyone—Especially Busy People


The more I practice, the more I realize that Feng Shui isn’t just for those who seek it out—it’s for everyone, especially busy families and professionals who don’t have time to think about it.


Whether someone asks me to Feng Shui their space or I do it quietly behind the scenes, the result is always the same: life just flows better.
