Old Wiring…

November 22, 2024

Wiring in a home isn’t just about electricity—it’s like the nervous system of your space. In BTB Feng Shui, wiring symbolizes the flow of energy, communication, and connection. When wiring is outdated or tangled, it can create blocks, just like holding onto old habits or thought patterns that no longer serve you. Think of it this way: if your home’s wiring is the meridians of its chi flow, what’s the state of your “energetic circuits”?

If I were to give myself a Feng Shui house reading (yes, I’m the subject here), I’d diagnose a serious case of outdated wiring. Not the electrical kind, but the mental kind—those old, hardwired responses I’ve been holding onto “just in case.” You know the ones I mean. At one point, they were my go-to survival tactics, but I haven’t used them in years. And yet, there they are, collecting dust in the back of my mind like a box of tangled cords I keep because, hey, you never know when you might need a random charging cable for a device you haven’t owned since 2010.

Sound familiar?

This is the beauty of a Feng Shui reading—it’s not just about moving furniture; it’s about uncovering what your home is reflecting back to you. Ask yourself: What’s in your home in excess, and what is it mirroring about what no longer serves you?

The first step is to notice it. See what’s there. Identify the “why.” Then—and this is important—smother it in gratitude and love. Those old responses? Those outdated habits? They were there when you needed them. They did their job. But now it’s time to let them go, like old wiring you can safely upgrade.

I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve got work to do. What about you? What’s lurking in your home, or in your energy, waiting to be released?
