The Amanda Collins Podcast

In this episode, we discuss How to Embrace Holistic Healing through Art Therapy and Feng Shui as Jacqueline shares each stepping stone of her practice and how it continues to evolve.  Jacqueline went through a journey of stepping stones, each with unique and individual sets of wisdom that she now combines beautifully into her overall practice. She started with art education, eventually adding Yoga, Reiki, Art Therapy, and Feng Shui as a wholesome blend of holistic healing practices.  She shares how Art Therapy led her into deeper practices and understanding of how interconnected intergenerational trauma can be in one’s environment and habits. Jacqueline speaks on her findings of people she’s served, from children to veterans who all benefit from the therapeutic practices she’s combined. Through her work, she discovered that she could only do so much from a therapist’s perspective and often this would send her clients back home to an unsupportive or imbalanced environment. This is where Feng Shui came in, Ja

In this episode, she unveils the profound grounding impact Feng Shui has had on her life, particularly in giving her perspective

Beloved, this meditation is a daily grounding practice of mine which allows me so much freedom of spirit and true connection to Source, the land, and others. It’s so easy for us to experience a disconnect, for us to isolate ourselves, or perhaps just not prioritize our needs on a daily basis. This can lead to emotional, mental, and health blockages that will require extensive repair work in the future. In order to be clear on our intentions, almost resetting our brains, it’s vital to incorporate a daily grounding practice. This meditation is easy to follow, and you can do this from anywhere. Whether it’s your local park, your sacred sanctuary at home, or perhaps a local beach. It’s all for your benefit as it’s time that you’re setting aside to commune with the Divine, reach into the heart of the earth, embrace nature around you and allow yourself to reflect and tune into your authenticity.

How can Feng Shui help promote health in the home? Can Feng Shui help my health issues? Definitely! Feng Shui contains many remedies, tools, and practices that will improve health issues through following the Flying Stars in the home and applying these remedies daily.    There are two ways that Feng Shui can impact your inner world and your outer environment. Inner work allows you to change your own vibration and frequency and it will oftentimes prompt you to change things around your home in order to put everything in balance.  Sometimes you start with changing your home around and that invites you to do the inner work as well.    To be in alignment with your present self, your future self and the direction in which you want to travel requires a lot of healing. It often invites you to let go of things from your past that holds you back in your personal growth, your career, and your relationships which can be detrimental to your health and wealth. Your overall well-being requires you to release trauma, and n
