Good afternoon Ellen, first of all I am SO HAPPY to see you offering your support to other women like me THANK YOU!  My question is how to get motivated again after being pregnant and now a stay at home mom.                                             My visions use to flow through me like wind through the trees.                                                                                                             I am 31yrs old and a 1st time mom, I used to be Miss Solcialite needed and wanted by all the sky was the limit and then it happened.... I wished to know my true calling on my 30th B-day and BAM 1 yr later our Amalie Jayde was born.  It seems my "gifts of insight" have gone or are have clouded, I try my meditations and still no clearence. I feel less empowered,  I feel weak, I feel I'm failing in an area I'm not familar with and I need your help please. I also wanted to mention I have a male partner (amalie's father) whom I live with, he now is the one always working or needed by others, the one who brings home the ($)bread while I perform the perfect susie homemaker. Thank you agin for your tiem and attention!

Hello dear heart!

I can tell you that I experienced almost every single thing that you are referring to right after I gave birth to my son!  So, I am a sympathetic and compassionate friend.  And a happy and confident one who can share what suggestions I enacted in my own space in order to get back to a place of Health and Happiness and Prosperity (the Three Great Blessings in Feng Shui!)  I don't want to overwhelm you right now with another laundry list so let's just begin with a few very standard, very practical but TOTALLY EMPOWERING advisos or cures that should start to align your energies again and bring closer to a place of peace and balance.

Firstly, you need to cleanse your exterior and your interior spaces so that your Chi or energy can be uplifted.  For the house, take a bowl of spring or distilled water and put the peels(only the skin) from nine oranges inside it to soak for 24 hours.  After that time, strain and then starting at your front door, walk around your house in a clockwise direction, flicking the orange water everywhere...the ceilings, the walls, the floors and carpets.  It won't stain so no worries.  Be especially sure to get into all the corners even if that means going behind pieces of furniture.  Walk a 'round' the house and end up back at the front door.  Next just walk into each corner of EVERY room and clap, LOUDLY, nine times.  End up back at the front door and then do the orange water walk one more time ending up back at the front door.  Now, open the front door and leave it like that for at least a few minutes.  This allows all the old crap, the stale and stuck energies that are weighing on you to leave your space after your very thorough cleanse!  Now...to YOU!

Fill a tub with warm water and two cups of Epsom salts.  Using the same sort of cure, put the peels from nine oranges, torn into small pieces the size of a quarter in your bath and let them soak for twenty minutes before you get in.  Now heat up the water to your liking and YOU SOAK FOR NO LESS THAN 20 MINUTES.  This is the Feng Shui gold standard for releasing all old energies down the drain while refreshing and replenishing yo....
