How to use this map
Find your missing corner in ten minutes
In feng shui, every area of your home connects to an area of your life. When an area is missing, blocked or neglected, that part of life often feels stuck too. My own dream home was missing its love and relationships corner, and so, for a while, was I.

Your reflections
What is your home teaching you?
When I walk through my front door, my home tells me…
The area that is missing, blocked or neglected in my home is…
In my life, that area feels…
Three words for who I am becoming
My first three shifts
- At my front door: ______________________________________
- In my bedroom: ________________________________________
- In my missing corner: ___________________________________
For every object you own, ask one question: does this support who I am becoming?
