Concierge, Sarah Stone shares with us 8 ways to attract positive energy and happiness and bring some Feng Shui Magic into your home.
Sarah is currently based between the Hamptons, New York and the UK to help her international portfolio of clients harness the positive energy of Creative Feng Shui to cultivate healthier, happier people and homes. She said; “Feng Shui seems to work like magic, but it’s actually an ancient Chinese art and science that harmonizes the energy flow in your space, within you and around you.
Creative Feng Shui is a simplified modern-day, intention-based modality of the more traditional Feng Shui technique. Empowering you to create a life filled with fortune, purpose, fulfillment and flow.
When we change what’s happening around us in a positive way we reconfigure what happens in our lives as well.
Studies show that, depending on your environment, you are a different version of yourself. That’s the beauty and the appeal of Creative Feng Shui - when you are consciously creating your environment with clear intentions you can be whatever version of yourself you want to be. If you want to create a new habit, you can start by changing your environment. It really can be as simple as: by changing your space you can, and will, change your life.
So, how exactly does Creative Feng Shui work? Your surroundings have a big impact on your life and your feelings. They shape your thoughts and actions more than you are aware of. Creative Feng Shui is a time-tested technique that helps improve the energy within you and around you. Subtle energy shifts and focus can inspire positive change and encourage you to make adjustments in your environment to welcome more balance and harmony to improve the flow of energy in your life.
When we start paying attention to, and being more selective, about what energies we allow into our space, our home and our relationships we begin to treat our entire space and lives with more gratitude and fresh perspective.
Making subtle changes to align the physical and mental energy of your home can cultivate peace, calm and balance in every other area of your life.
Here are Sarah’s 8 ways to intentionally attract positive energy and happiness into your life and home:
1. Create Space and Clear the Clutter
By clearing the clutter in your space you can change any stagnant energy from negative to positive. This positive energy then results in positive interactions, positive experiences and optimal productivity and happiness.
2. Think About the Role of Your Rooms
By designating areas for various activities you are subconsciously allowing yourself to move with ease and purpose within your home. For example; your bedroom should be restful, peaceful, supportive and loving so ensure you don’t store dirty laundry in there or have too much clutter which could leave you feeling anxious.
3. Stimulate The Senses
Throw on a sweater and breathe new life into your home by opening the windows and allowing the breeze to blow through and move any stagnant air and blow out any cobwebs, even if it is just for 10 minutes each day because this invites in a fresh flow of energy. You can also burn some lavender, pinewood incense, aromatherapy oil or trusty scented candles to harness the power of your senses.
4. Light it Up!
Turn up the lights. Both daylight and artificial light raises the level of chi (positive energy). Winter is here so we need to create our own cozy space with ambient lighting and candles. It’s important to ensure light fittings and light bulbs are functioning fully. Pay attention to the front door where you should aim to create a “bright hall effect” to provide a warm welcome as you step inside. Use ambient lighting to illuminate dark corners and create an even flow of chi, particularly in the living room, the kitchen and the home office.
5. Introduce Life
Bring Nature Indoors: Seasonal quince branches on a table, a vase of flowers by your bedside, a bowl of fruit on the dining table or a stack of logs by the fire – these are all perfect natural enhancements for your home during the winter season – they add active chi and it will add new energy to the space.
6. Create Family Flow
Maintain family harmony by sitting at a round table as this is less conducive to conflicts and arguments than a square or rectangular one. If you do not have one then add several round objects, dishes and table decorations as focal points instead.
7. Music
Music is super powerful at setting the tone – choose a playlist that suits your mood and enhances the vibe you are creating.
8.
Be Intentional
Be conscious of what (and who) you are surrounding yourself with. Ensure that everything you welcome into your life and home FEELS amazing.

Welcome to the Strongroom, a boutique legal firm located in Calgary. Strongroom LLP provides bespoke solutions to families seeking assurance that all opportunities available are maximized to enhance and protect their legacy. Many families working with Strongroom LLP are referred to us by their accountants, lawyers, investment advisorsand other trusted professionals who understand that a traditional Will is not an estate plan for entrepreneurs and distinguished families of means.
Fair vs. equal where one or more children are not active in the family enterprise, ensuring tax efficient planning to address ever increasing taxation for business and estate assets and the protection of assets to avoid loss prior to or following the transition between generations are all concerns addressed through proper estate planning.
For a patron of Stately Magazine, intergenerational wealth is often a focus. Eliminating probate for our parents and our own estates, inheriting through trusts to protect assets for children from claims by former spouses or other creditors, are a preferred approach to estate planning.
A common concern for entrepreneurs is the disruption of the business through the imposition of two tiers of tax exceeding 60% in relation to corporate assets without advanced planning. An estate freeze and other advanced tax strategies will enhance the business by minimizing taxation.
The Strongroom LLP estate planning process involves several sessions focusing on goals, objectives and family dynamics. The integration of these elements with the legal and tax strategies available through Strongroom LLP safeguards and enhances legacy. If you do not understand, or cannot assert, that you are confident that taxes during your lifetime are minimized, that the plans for your legacy will not be frustrated, or that family harmony will not be disrupted through a lack of planning, a prolonged estate administration process, or challenges to your estate, your planning is incomplete.
Strongroom LLP offers a complimentary consultation to determine the options available to you for your planning and flat fee services for implementation of your estate and tax plan. In conjunction with its strategic partners, Strongroom LLP frequently assists families with a connection, or assets situated, in the United States and United Kingdom.
