February 2026
When I was very young my parents sent me to a faraway school to study visual arts, and mainly the theory and history of theatre arts. “This is going to be oh so boring” was all I could think of, but I didn’t really have a choice. So for a few years, while my friends back home were roaming free & enjoying life, I was locked in big libraries and old theatre companies, studying all details that make a good show.
I was trained to observe the smallest, most inconspicuous details, from subtle nuances in writer’s words to little changes in actor’s voice or gestures on different days, from specific colors in scenography to the timing and volume of music, lighting, etc. I learned how one seemingly unnoticed detail can completely change the expected outcome, and how much work goes into creating good energy.
Looking back, I am surely grateful for that experience! The training I initially perceived as boring gave me a really solid foundation for my consulting work. It might seem strange to compare it, especially its feng shui aspect, with theater arts, but they do have a lot in common. In a nutshell, both arts aim to create specific energy for humans to benefit from.
Unlike a theater production company, though, where duties are clearly defined, distributed and often highly specialized, in the feng shui world it is just you and your home.
Who is in charge of the energy in your home?
How often do you re-write the daily script?
What are your “props” (to use a theater term) for creating and maintaining good energy in your space?
We all want (and need) good energy, but on a deeper level good energy is an individual experience.
What are your rules for good energy?
Many questions, I know, but they are important to contemplate, especially since we are stepped into a powerful Mercury Retrograde. It is a good time to define what good energy means to you, and how you maintain it in your home.
This is all for now; I wish you a good beginning of March and a smooth Mercury Retrograde!
