001 What is Holistic Interior Design?
In this first episode of Bewitching the Home, I introduce the elements of Holistic Interior Design. To help you connect with your home, I lead you through an exercise with one room that you'd like to redesign. See what comes up for you when you connect to your physical space from a holistic perspective. This is your opportunity to create and dream without limits!

05:15 - What is Holistic Interior Design?
07:31 - An exercise to help you connect with your home
Featured Exercise
What you'll need: pen, paper, a beautiful beverage to drink like tea or water, a candle, a match, and any other sacred items that help you set your space.
Steps:
Set aside space and time to design your space
Incorporate a ritual (light a candle or create a beverage)
Bonus: Light incense or incorporate plant magic through an oil diffuser
Questions from the exercise:
- What is the intention or the purpose of the room or space you're designing, and what are the activities you want to use this room for?
- What do you absolutely love about that room?
- What bothers you about the room?
- What is the current energy of the room? (You could pull a card here if you're having a hard time feeling into the energy.)
- How are you using this room right now?
- What do you want this room to feel like?
- How do you want it to smell?
- What colors do you envision?
- How do you want this room to sound?
- Are there any places in the world that you've been that encompass all of these feelings, textures, smells?
- Write down those places and create a mood board: cut out pictures from magazines or use Pinterest or Instagram.
