Lorne Brown

I want to welcome my good friend, who actually lives locally here. Marlyna Los, who is an internationally renowned Feng Shui in Chinese metaphysics expert. She’s also an author, consultant, speaker, and educator. She actually has a really fun Feng Shui for fertility course on healthy seminars. Marlyna’s Feng Shui credentials go way back to the early nineties. She’s a lifelong learner. That’s why I think we connect so well. And she’s also traveled the world. Yeah, I don’t like to travel the world, so maybe that’s where we’re not exactly the same Marlyna, but

Marlyna Los

I had to to find the teachers.

Lorne Brown

That’s right and those you did find, you’ve studied with eight different Chinese masters and grand masters of Feng Shui, including Joey. You’ve been honored with the title of Master in 2006, and you’ve been honored three times with the distinction in Feng Shui in advanced Zer studies with Mastery Academy. And I want to let you guys know that Marlyna formerly founded the East West Academy in 2005. It’s a school consciously dedicated to the higher purpose, empowerment and supportive people to live better lives. Your classes combined the classical teachings of Feng Shui and Chinese metaphysics along with psychology and ancient spiritual and esoteric wisdom. And she does, as I mentioned, live in Vancouver, Canada, BC, where we often get to break bread together. And your book, which you published way back in June of 2012 is called Feng Shui. Do you see what I see? And I just want to share that Marlyna really has a passion to inspire and encourage and teach others what she knows towards building your dreams, finding happiness and fulfillment in life. And we, full transparency, you and I met at a conscious workshop, the work of Gila Golub way, way back when we did a lot of breath work together, sat with each other. And I know also that you’re a dedicated student of the Course of Miracles. So Marlyna, welcome to the Conscious Fertility Podcast.

Marlyna Los

I’m so grateful to be here and happy to be here. Thank you.

Lorne Brown

So I think we have to define a few things.

First of all, I said Ba Zi, that destiny chart idea, I’ve said Feng Shui and Chinese metaphysics. Can you kind of give us a sense of what Feng Shui is and can you give it, how do I put this? I think some people are like, oh, this is silly, this is nonsense. This is silly astrology, but I believe there is some science behind this. And I think people intuitively know they have experiences when they walk into a space, how they feel or are affected by it. So for the skeptics out there, can you just share a little bit about what Feng Shui is and why maybe we should care about it?

Marlyna Los

Yeah, I love that question. There’s so much misinformation out there, even amongst the Chinese race too. So because of the cultural revolution, Feng Shui was made illegal. And I think that’s because anytime we get into metaphysics and intuition to a degree is involved as well as say, science and formula, snake oil salesmen kind of pop up. I have the answer for you. And they didn’t study more. So that actually was part of the reason why I studied with eight different masters. I certainly started off in North America with the basic intention, almost based energy thought of Feng Shui. Anyways, classical Feng Shui, which refers to classical Feng Shui as the original Feng Shui. I think there’s a lot of modalities out there that don’t use a compass and don’t use astrology. But what the ancients noticed is that there were patterns to how energy moved. And they also noticed that people have a subconscious vibration, which we know through the law of attraction pulls in what’s the same. Well, here’s the curious thing. We pull in houses that reflect our subconscious. We pull in people that reflect our subconscious beliefs. And so they see the real, first of all, Feng Shui is the study of energy and relationship to man.

Lorne Brown

And that’s also an important thing to share because in Chinese medicine there’s always this concept of you’ve got man’s in the middle, human,

Marlyna Los

Human being, heaven, earth, and man, yes,

Lorne Brown

Earth and man’s in the middle and we’re impacted by both.

Marlyna Los

Absolutely. And actually currently. And so they learned how to measure time with that because trigrams, which you’re talking about heaven, earth, and man, the hexagrams, the itching is what that’s based on. And so what they came to decide is 33% of our destiny comes from heaven, which is the time with our first breath. We are imbued with the energy of the universe at that moment and our souls choose it. That’s the difference. It’s not random. It’s like there’s a reason we’re in this incarnation and we can’t change that blueprint, but we can work with it. So to me, I look at studying genetics. If you’re going to study, we do, we study horses and dogs and genetics all the time to say, oh, that’s a better breed. And yet we don’t do it with humans. Well, not in the same way we apply different types of things.

We do, oh, you’re prone to this illness or you’re prone to that illness. But it is possible to read the blueprint of time and sort of say, oh, you’re going to be tall or you’re going to be short and you’re going to be outspoken and you’re a rule breaker. Those types of things. So 33% is the person’s destiny, what you do. And I love that, that’s included in that because regardless of what you were born with, you can improve your life with the right actions. And then 33%, I know you want to say something is Feng Shui because take now the seed that you are, put it in a windy dry garden, it’s not going to grow. Now that windy dry garden might be toxic to parents. So that’s what I’m just saying. So I’m not saying good or bad, they’re just different. So if we study energy, we can align with energy that matches what we want instead of just waiting for the right thing to come up.

Lorne Brown

So you mentioned you got this blueprint and you compared it to genetics. So we’re not our genes, we’re what? Our genes that express and we now know epigenetics what turn on and off genes, your environment. So your physical environment and your thoughts and emotions impact what genes get turned on and off for health.

Marlyna Los

Absolutely.

Lorne Brown

Longevity, creativity, and fertility. So you’re saying the same thing.

Marlyna Los

I am saying the same thing

Lorne Brown

You’ve got your blueprint, you’re born at this time, so this is kind of what you’re predisposed to, but you can work with the energies and you can do things, take actions to get the most out of your blueprint.

Marlyna Los

Absolutely. And so by studying these patterns of energy, patterns of energy, it sounds trite to say this is the earth of the dragon. That’s actually a pattern of energy with wood and earth this year and how that interacts with your blueprint. I can potentially say there’s a gateway opening that is good for fertility or this is the time. And so since the beginning of time, astrolog, basu, so basu means eight houses. So there’s four pillars, eight houses and meaning this is wood dragon year, that’s two houses this month is water monkey. That’s two houses. And so that’s just literally the translation.

Lorne Brown

So I kind of want to talk about health, wellness and fertility as it relates to Feng Shui and Chinese metaphysics. Many patients come in, I wouldn’t say many, but it’s over my 20 plus years of practice. There are people that have come in saying they want to be pregnant at this time because of what year it is. They want their kid to be a dragon or they want their kid to be a monkey or not be

Marlyna Los

This. Absolutely.

Lorne Brown

So I want to talk a little bit about that, and I just want to clarify. You said it’s, you’re the dragon. We’re recording this in September of 2024. So anything we talk about, it may not be relevant

When people are listening to this at a different date. I want to talk about so many people who are struggling in the world. There’s this shift in the world. People are coming in with a lot of mental health issues and we know when there’s dis-ease, we get digestive issues. It weakens our immune system. We start to develop aches and pains, headaches, fatigue, low energy, sleep stuff. All kinds of things get exasperated. And I think you share a lot of the teachings you do in working with charts, how to find that ease again, that flow. And so I want to go down that path and then get into fertility. If people are looking to add this to their fertility journey and then those are just having fun, want to play with this. That’s the path I would like to take with you today if that’s okay?

Marlyna Los

Yeah, absolutely. That’d be great.

Well, the western thinking that we’ve been trained into is that we can do anything we want for doing the right thing. So there’s a lot of marketing out there which I’ve got the answer for you. And if you’re not successful, it’s your fault. Whereas the ancient thinking was there’s a time for growth and there’s a time for rest. And part of that is just as simple as the seasons, right? Summer and winter. But we’ve really lost touch with that. Women do no longer rest when they have their heaviest days of their period. It’s like go, go, go. Right? We’re just pushing all the time, a very, very yang society. So when we’re yang all the time, there’s no time for the yin to come in. And so we’re out of balance. But the other is we’re in a period of time right now in a greater thing of 20 years called the period of fire.

It’s a nine year period, it started this year, and most people have been watching on the internet things talking about there’s an awakening happening or consciousness is changing or the 5G, D or G, I get them. We’re ascending. What does that mean? Well, in order for society to grow, I actually think life, the process of life that’s inside of all of us, call it God, call it whatever consciousness is literally that it’s always growing and changing. And the period that we’re in right now is trying to illuminate with the fire where we’re stuck in order to see where we’re stuck, we have to challenge our beliefs and the beliefs are buried in our subconscious, which could be epigenetics, it could be all types of things. And so what’s happening is there’s a lot of dysregulation because people don’t know, pardon in my French, what the fuck is going on? They’re rattled. And so whereas the ancient Chinese knew that there were cycles where you were meant to look inside and maybe make course corrections and we’re forgotten to look at the greater whole, all energy is connected. So if all energy is connected, people have to take responsibility for the energy that they bring to the room. That’s hard for a lot of people. Like, well, what about I don’t feel like it. I feel sad, I don’t know what to do. It’s all about me.

Lorne Brown

So what’s your answer to that? When somebody says that,

Marlyna Los

Oh gosh, okay, so that the world isn’t working, I’ll get them to agree that the world isn’t working the way it is. And there’s a lot of evidence that the world isn’t working. And I think most people understand that they have to be the change. And so at some point, but I don’t think they get to that till they’re after 40. Honestly, I think before 40 everybody thinks something out there will fix me. But after 40, you start recognizing patterns that have repeated in your life where you’re not supported by fears, different things come up and we start looking at them differently. And I would say that’s where we’re at.

Lorne Brown

So you’re sharing that we both agree on this, it’s inner work. This is a time to go inside. And so the energy you talked about were in another, is it a fire season fire a year you call it?

Marlyna Los

Well, it’s a 20 year fire period happening with the trigrams of, so interesting. You mentioned the trigram of heaven, earth and man heaven, man and earth. The trigram for fire is a yang line on top with a yin line in the middle with a yang line on the bottom, man is in the middle yin. This 20 year period, mankind has to choose higher consciousness or lower consciousness

Lorne Brown

That’s happening. Yes. And I would say materialism versus quantum physics, fear versus love.

Marlyna Los

Well, yeah, exactly. Exactly. And the irony is if you’re coming from fear, there’s never enough money. Whereas if you come from an open heart, there will be abundance, there’ll be love, there’ll be opportunities.

Lorne Brown

Opportunities are the key. And then you’re able to act on those opportunities.

Marlyna Los

Yes,

Lorne Brown

You talked about that connectedness. And just to put it in a grounded way, how we’re connected, all the things because of social media, when there’s a war somewhere, we’re all affected. There’s wars around the world, but wherever you are, even if there’s no war in your city, we are at war, people are on the streets and they’re protesting and fighting on social media. So you can see that

Marlyna Los

Anytime there’s resistance, we’re at war. So that’s what we’re illuminating now is it’s not just fighting on the streets, it’s resisting the drive to work. It’s resisting the relationship in front of you that you need to work on that type of where are you at war with your life

Lorne Brown

And it’s inner work, or as you said, after 40, you realize that you have these patterns, which we are very aware of, these subconscious programs or patterns. So they keep showing up in your life. And again, the grounded way to put this is, I mean, there’s people listening to this that if I just make this much money, I’ll be happy. Well, they made that much money more and then eventually went back to the same, not happy. This relationship isn’t working. So they’re in a different relationship. It was exciting. Now they’re back to that same level of happiness or they move cities or this government’s in power

Marlyna Los

Now. Oh, if this, then that.

Lorne Brown

And so like you say, after 40, you start to see the pattern that one thing that’s in common is me, Marlyna, when we were doing the work together at Gila Golub’s work, that was my biggest relief aha moment when I realized this is all in a work. Because at that time I was like, if this person would change, then I could be happy. If the government was this way, then I’d be happy. If the economy was this way, I’d be happy with all these things, then I could be happy. And then I realized that everything is an external reflection of the inside, and it’s the inside that shifts and then your perception to the outside, changes or miracles happen, the outside changes. And I was like, that is so much easier to just work on me versus trying to work on everybody else and everything else. So when I hear in a work, I’m like, yes, that is manageable.

Marlyna Los

Well, and happiness is already there. We’re removing the blocks. And so for me, that’s been a really personal journey because I thought for the longest time I was okay, but I’m adopted. And I hadn’t really done a lot of inner work on that. And at some point I started questioning, why do I keep on choosing unavailable men emotionally? Well, if I don’t know what available feels like, I can’t choose it. I only knew abandonment as a deep core belief. So if I don’t bring that up and look at that differently, I will keep on manifesting in my life things that reflect it. And so this takes me quickly into Feng Shui. In Feng Shui, we use a compass and we use formulas. So I learned because I was just curious how with the compass to take a measurement of a house, put it over the floor plan and sort of do this formula, and I could kind of look and go, they have trouble with money. Oh, they have trouble with relationships. Now shui often is the focus, how do we fix it? But to me, fixing it isn’t just the only thing I need to help them see where they’re contributing to that belief. So it’s a twofold thing.

Lorne Brown

So you get into what programs they have.

I’ll share with the group that you do consulting for some major developers in Vancouver. I’ve met some of them because some of them are into the wellness and health field at the provincial level. And it just reminded me, do you remember when I moved my clinic back in 2018, we were hanging out and you said, oh, can I see it? We were building it out and I was hesitant. I was like, oh, so just so you guys know, being hesitant, it was that frugal part of me that my past as a CPA, I was like, oh no, if Barda comes to my space, she’s going to tell me where the energy’s good or bad and I don’t want to move walls. And I said to you, I don’t even remember this. You’re like, okay, Marlyna, I’m going to show you my space. I’m very influenced by the do not say a word.

Marlyna Los

And you said, don’t tell me anything bad. I know,

Lorne Brown

Don’t do anything bad. I don’t want to hear it. And you cave in, you were kind, you liked it, and then there was a bathroom in the door and you couldn’t help yourself. You’re just like, okay, you got to move the bathroom. Do you remember door,

Marlyna Los

The bathroom door? Yes.

Lorne Brown

And just so you know, everybody, I did move the bathroom door, but just for fun, do you even remember what was the issue with the bathroom door at the entrance? What did that tell you from the Feng Shui perspective? And we moved the door so it wasn’t,

Marlyna Los

Well, we redirected the energy so it didn’t open right into the foyer, which even at the time I think you said, oh, that’s common sense,

Right, more, it looks better the way it is. But the foyer is where people gather. You put a bathroom door opening right into that. Now you have a mixture of energies and bathrooms are drains. So do you want the foyer to have yang energy or do you want it to have yin energy? Right? Bathrooms are more yin and literally also for privacy and all those types of things. Some of them are just, I like to say I’m a Feng Shui consultant that if we do Feng Shui, you don’t see it. It just feels good. Right? And I did tell you another one that the office you chose was I gave you the location for your office there too. That was the best energy. The manager needs to have better energy than anybody else because if you’re not doing well, nobody’s going to do well.

Lorne Brown

And I got to share the number of our office, which I think is fun. It’s 888 West 8th Avenue. So some people really like eight. So they come to our office for any health especially, but the fertility people come and I’ve asked, so what brings you to Acubalance? They go, “your address. It’s 8 8 8 West 8th Avenue.”

Marlyna Los

Yeah. Yeah. So it’s funny, right? People have these built-in kinds of superstitions where they kind of know energy has energy, but if we’re coming from a level of fear, which many people are, we don’t know how to work with it because we’re always thinking, oh, I’m going to get it wrong, or something like that. And so anyway, my whole goal is to just get some insight to what your strengths are. Let’s use your Feng Shui to support you to do better, and how’s timing going to affect you?

Lorne Brown

People are like, oh, come on. Can we feel the difference? I mean, some people are more sensitive to others, so some people really can notice this, right? And then some people not so much entering a space, but some things are obvious or we’re aware of the seasons, right? Some people do really well in the summer and do not do well in the winter. Our plants grow in the summer, not in the winter, right?

Marlyna Los

That’s correct.

Lorne Brown

Just notice the seasons, how people feel when it’s a rainy, cloudy day or sunny and everybody’s individual. Some people love the clouds and rain and some people do not. But the thing is, that’s your environment impacting how you feel. Just to give you an example of that, you experience the energies all the time to just give some obvious ones. And you talked about the yin of rest and y yang yang, our society’s go, go, go. We know what health issues happen, and insanity can happen if you don’t let somebody sleep for four nights in a row. All yang is not good for your health. You need that downtime

Marlyna Los

And depression opposite, sleeping all the time, don’t get anything done, get stuck. So the same tools that you used to describe energy with five elements are the same ones that I use. There’s wood, fire, earth, metal, and water, and there’s yin and yang together, they create a blueprint of energy and the animals got included into that. But the animals just represent the five elements in astrology. So this year being wood and earth with the dragon that impacts every single person’s chart differently, just like the seasons. And so when we understand that it might be for someone money, so some people like water, but water engine, which is winter, but mostly people who like winter are people born in summer because their charts are what we call hotter. So it balances. But if you’re born in winter, you’re likely a deeper thinker, a little bit more prone to depression or melancholy, those types of things.

Can we use modalities to fix that? Yes, with Feng Shui, with Chinese medicine, with food. And that’s what I actually love about Chinese metaphysics. There’s so many remedies so to speak. But I just want to say with fertility too that in the west we kind of think if everybody can always have everything and the Chinese see, sometimes we need the right timing for things to happen and maybe to look at the bigger picture of what’s happening or the fertility clients that I’ve helped in the past with in vitro, particularly in dates, you’re very, very right that we use dates and things like that. Then we use dates and timing as to the season when the baby element is stronger. So it’s not like a hundred percent science, but it is like a greater chance of things working when you plant the seed. So-called at the right time.

Lorne Brown

Well, we’re going to talk about tips for Feng Shui for fertility. And I got another question for that before that though. And also just when we’ve had you on healthy seminars, you often direct people to fill out a Ba Zi chart, like their destiny chart.

Marlyna Los

Yeah.

Lorne Brown

Is that on your website?

Marlyna Los

On my website it is called a bot seed calculator. So that actually will tell you your Chinese astrology chart, and if you don’t know the hour, fine, but if you know the hour, it’ll give you all four pillars here, month, day and hour. And it’ll give you a percentage of elements. So I’ve been teaching since working with you. A lot of TCM practitioners and acupuncturists have been studying with me so that they can look at charts and I’ll help people with that extra addition of energy information, which I think is so cool because traditionally this was a part of TCM.

Lorne Brown

Absolutely. It’s brilliant that medicine, how deep it is. We were talking about just in our society, people are feeling disease, a lot of unease, depression, anxiety, not feeling motivated, and then physical elements coming up as well. In working with you and knowing you I’ve heard you say, or what do you mean by awareness is the key to change in healing?

Marlyna Los

Okay, so one of the first good astrologers who looked at my chart said to me, how come you’ve never met your father? And I’m like, how can you? And I never did meet my birth father. By the time I was old enough to start looking, he died. So it’s like, how can you see that? And she said, oh, your chart just shows that your father’s not there. So either he was there and not present in your life or whatever. So she said, suffering occurs when you’re not in alignment with what’s there. So it’s like I’m a banana, I don’t want to be a banana or whatnot. And that actually changed my frame of reference. Now she said, here’s the thing, you can let that bring your consciousness down to a poor me level. Or you can look at that from a higher level. What’s that teaching you? What gifts did that give you from the consciousness work that we do, little soul in the sun and that our friendly souls are the ones that teach us the hardest lessons. That’s a complete reframe, isn’t it?

Lorne Brown

And I’ll give you a new word I like. So offer, I never use the word gift anymore. I use the word opportunity because some of those situations you would never wish upon anybody. They don’t feel like gifts. So I don’t like to use the word gift. When I fell off the dock, it wasn’t a present.

When I broke my ribs, like somebody said, it’s like a gift and I’m like, can I regift it? I’d like to give it back to you. I saw an opportunity there for growth and presence, but I wouldn’t call it a gift, but

Marlyna Los

I know I agree it is an opportunity. But Gila too will say, can you be grateful when it comes up again?

Lorne Brown

I was grateful because just on a tangent, when I laid there with my three broken ribs, I was aware I was in such intense pain, which gave me an opportunity to be present with it. But I was also aware I wasn’t suffering. I wasn’t like, why did this happen? How did this happen? What’s going on? All the things. I was just aware that there was some underlying peace with the pain and I was so grateful I didn’t hit my spine or my head, it was my ribs. I think it would’ve ended me. So while I laid there waiting for the ambulance, I was thinking how lucky I am that I think I only punctured my lung. I did it in the end, by the way. Yes. But again, when somebody said, oh, it was a gift because we were talking about it later, I shared that I don’t like the word gift, I call it, it was an opportunity. So these challenges, when you have a miscarriage, when you have an unsuccessful IVF, when you have a divorce, when you have a financial disaster, suffering can lead to awakening. We hear this a lot.

Marlyna Los

Oh, totally.

Lorne Brown

I don’t call them gifts, I call them opportunity.

Marlyna Los

I appreciate that. I use the word God, but you can use other words because the Dao would be equal. Just an easy word. I feel that our higher consciousness has a purpose for all of us, but we get off track thinking, I need millions of dollars first. I need so many children, I need to do whatever. But sometimes maybe the purpose is to take us to teaching others or to bringing our gifts or elsewhere, I don’t know. And now here’s the thing, we do have free will. So by analyzing, say in a chart that it’s difficult to get pregnant or it’s not an easy thing to have happen, well then you go get help. You start getting fertility treatments, you start looking at, or I can also look at a chart and say, what needs to be healed with your mother? Or did your mom have a miscarriage? It’s literally possible to look in there and get everything connected. So somewhere in the genealogy there’s something which is so I’m not sure what needs to be. So-called healed in order for channels to be opened. And there’s a saying, when you change your space, you change your life or change your life, change your space. It’s the same thing. You start on this work, you start opening up energy portals, you don’t know where it’ll go, but it does lead to higher consciousness eventually.

Lorne Brown

And this is why A, we have the Conscious Fertility podcast. And in my practice I do conscious work to share with you how you said your relationship with your mother or have you had a miscarriage in some of the work I’ve done with the women and when we regress, when we go back to earlier times, so actually I’m going to say this a different way. First of all, we all want to be happy and as you shared, it’s our innate nature of peace and joy, this happiness. But our thoughts and our desires get in the way and they get in the way as if we think the external is going to make us happy, but very aware it’s written down. And then people who have lived beyond 40 start to realize the external environment only can give you temporary pleasure, but it doesn’t give you this baseline happiness.

Inner work does. Conscious work does. So in conscious work, aware, everybody wants to be happy. So if I have a baby, I’ll be happy When we’ve done the work, some of the programs that have come up for them, some don’t actually want a child, they’re doing it for their spouse or their in-laws. Culturally they have to have children. They’re afraid of having a miscarriage because their mother had a terrible miscarriage or their mother had a terrible birth or they had a terrible birth or their father was abusive or so they find these unconscious programs that they never knew were related to the fear and the block they have now. And they just know they get the ha moment, they get the ha moment because the stories look very different, but the feeling is the same. And that’s how absolutely they connected. So this conscious work is so important as you have been sharing with us, so thank you with that, people always like to know tips and stuff. So do you have tips for anyone that they can do to support themselves with Feng Shui and Ba Zi on their health and fertility journey?

Marlyna Los

Yeah, well Ba Zi a bit. You’d almost have to get a reading with me to do the Ba Zi because that’s, but what I encourage you to do

Lorne Brown

Let me suggest then for that part, for the Ba Zi, the Destiny chart Carolina’s website, fill it out and get that info. Check out our website. She does readings.

Marlyna Los

Yeah.

Lorne Brown

What about just other tips for function?

Marlyna Los

Yeah, absolutely. But even within that, there’s four element seasons: wood, fire, earth, metal, spring, summer, autumn, sort of just contemplate what times of year are you happiest, what time of, and just sort of start becoming aware of how time affects you. That’s one thing. But at home we all know clutter blocks energy from flowing, right? And quantum physics, no two things can occupy the same space at the same time. The other is what you see influences how you think. So I think my whole house is a vision board. I think what you see should bring you joy, but often we buy things and we actually aren’t connected to them. There’s so many things that we own that we’re actually not connected to. So I would say you want to change the energy of your home. Start doing an inventory. Do you love what’s there? And are you hanging onto memories just in case like at the start, do a major clutter clear, but before you start, what’s your intention?

What new energy do you want to bring in? Because energy is sticky. If you don’t do an intention, old energy will just come back. Your bedroom is the area that supports health and relationships. And your front door is the area that supports new energy coming in. Now, if you enter the house every day from your garage, say you’re bringing work, the garages are associated with the workspace. So every day, and this is okay, but it’s a very middle class thing, isn’t it? Whereas wealthier people, their garages are detached, they’re separate. They have a green space between putting a fumie car in the house. And so anyway, just start becoming aware because in order to change things, you have to become aware. I always ask people, how’s your life? Because your house reflects your subconscious life. And then the next step is to start cleaning it up.

If you’re in a shitty relationship, you have to clean it up. If your health is not good, you have to clean it up. Well, guess what? Our houses are the same. And so it’s just like start looking at are you hoarding? Okay, if you’re hoarding, you’re not allowing new energy to come in. Now I’m going to also tell how old are your pillows? The energy that you sleep in. Energy is sticky. It’s like do you put my mother? A European mother would put the bedding in the spring out on the deck and the mattress would get 20 hours of sunshine on it. We don’t clean and bring new energy into the house. Now past that, you need compass directions and formula and layout and it gets more complicated. But everybody can start making an intention. I want new energy in my life. And okay, now do an action step.

What action step can you do that’ll bring new energy into your life? We know exercise will do it too, but you clean your house, you’re going to find you want to do more exercise. It’s all interconnected. But usually when we start making changes, I want to say this, I had a client years ago call me and she said, I’ve been crying all day. I’m cleaning my bedroom. And I said to her, good, you need to cry. You have a lot to grieve. It opened that up for her. So then it actually gave her permission. And I said, yeah, and it’s showing you where you need to make changes. So sometimes when we do things, see, when we get out of familiarity, which is what keeps us stuck, we get into the issues that we need to look at.

Lorne Brown

And that’s where we bring awareness. Because when you look at them and you are stuck, you can consciously choose to bring in new

Marlyna Los

Energy. And awareness is light. Just by looking at it, we are shedding our light on it and light fire transforms everything.

Lorne Brown

So I got to share this with you. I don’t think I’ve ever said this to you, but

You just said it, so I’m going to say it another way. So in my practice, we do conscious work. I like to do conscious work in my clinic with the ACU and laser. And one of the things that I like to share is there’s that Buddhist saying that light transforms darkness. In this case, the darkness is the fear or these uncomfortable feelings or these programs, subconscious programs, they don’t serve you. That’s the darkness and the light is awareness. And so when they say light transforms darkness, all it requires is bringing awareness to it. There is a practice to it, there’s a skillset to do that. So that’s what I like to teach, but it’s awareness that heals and that’s what you share in a lot of your teachings and course of miracles I believe as well is awareness. So we’re starting to realize how being awake, being aware can transform that. And our local guy here, Eckhart Toley, who wrote The Power of Now and New Earth, he always says, when you’re present, when you’re aware you don’t suffer. It’s only when you’re thinking about the past, regretting the past or fearing the future, do you suffer? But when you’re fully present, you don’t suffer. Meaning you can be at peace in an unhappy situation. So you can still mentally know you don’t want it or like it, but you’re not triggered and you’re not going into that reptilian brain where you’re suffering. You can be

Marlyna Los

Oh, absolutely. An unhappy situation. Yeah, a tree doesn’t go, oh, it’s winter, I’m dying. No, it’s a period. So the ancients recognize,

Lorne Brown

They say It’s winter and I’m going to go to Hawaii.

Marlyna Los

Yeah, well, exactly. So to my point, the ancients recognize that Feng Shui and basu Chinese astrology are tools. They’re tools that can look at the past, study energy, and then we align ourselves consciously to be in the right place at the right time. So if it’s 33%, that gives us extra in life, that’s a lot. You still have to do the work, but it supports you to do the work to get into higher levels. And so yeah, I’m blessed that I get to do this work and teach this work and live it 24 7 pretty much. And to know people

Lorne Brown

Like you have to be willing, ready, and able to do the work. You have had it in myself where people come and say, fix me, do this, and I share that. I mean, I got my tools as in needles and herbs and lasers, and then my consciousness are tools as well. But if they’re like, no, you got a hocus pocus, then they’re not willing, ready and able because they do the work. We just provide the tools.

Marlyna Los

Yes, I know lots of people come and say, can you help my kid? Well, if they’re young, we can maybe fix the bedroom up or something. But they’re older, they want to study astrology so they can fix their kid. And I go Mind your own business.

Lorne Brown

But when you heal, it’s amazing. They heal. That’s all in a work. Again, that goes back to, oh, I got to fix my kid. Of course, you want your kid to be okay when your child suffers, it hurts. As a parent, I know that. I get that. It’s worth repeating that when you heal, it’s like that when you talk about everything’s connected. Your child’s feeling that not feeling conditional, they’re feeling conditional love, not unconditional love on an energetic level. And I don’t, I mean, I do get it on a metaphysical level. When you heal, your children shift, and I’ve seen this in so many of the people I’ve worked with that have children, when they do their work, what brought them to me is their children. Then we share that when you heal, your ancestors heal and your whole family constellation heals. And then we work with their stuff

Lorne Brown

And then they’re like, my kid now sleeps by themself, or my kid’s no longer bedwetting or my kid’s off drugs. How’s that working? Because we’re all connected.

Marlyna Los

Yes, because the quantum field changed.

Lorne Brown

Yeah, you changed the quantum field. And so for those that are listening to this, there’s the materialistic Newtonian world. So you’re five senses. And then if you listen to some of the other episodes I have on my podcast with quantum physicists and PhDs, they share that there’s something beyond the five senses and there’s a quantum field, and that we keep thinking that it’s a matter that emits consciousness, but it’s conscious that creates the matter. And so we’re getting to the root cause now we’re going to work on that energetic level and the physical level too. Your physical beings, you’re here. However, we’ve only been focusing on the physical. And I think those over 40 have realized that doesn’t work. It’s temporary. But when you start to work on that other level, the conscious, the spiritual, you call it God, energy, man, do you see miracles and do you find that sense of peace and joy regardless of what’s going on outside?

Marlyna Los

Maybe joy is too big a word. You find that acceptance, which there’s peace in, right? We don’t just always jump to joy, but we are okay, but

Lorne Brown

Profoundly

Marlyna Los

We reached a place. Yeah, there is this piece where everything is okay. Yeah,

Lorne Brown

Absolutely. So how do they find you? Are you on social media? Are you on Instagram?

Marlyna Los

Yes, I am on social media. So Marlynaconsulting.com is my website. Yeah.

Lorne Brown

We’ll put in the show notes, your Instagram and Facebook link then. And then I invite our listeners to go to marlynaconsulting.com, go to her calendar of events. She does classes and she does readings. But the Ba Zi chart, if you want to have that, you can fill that out there, your information, and you’ll get a chart and then you can talk. Choose if you want to have

Marlyna Los

Well, Lorne, I’ve started a community called Living with Purpose, which is a membership group, and we meet once a month live. But I have a private Facebook group with that where we, it’s for people. Well, it’s for anybody. And I talk about the monthly astrology and the monthly highlights and all that, and some people just want that. But I also talk about the bigger picture and the collective of what’s happening. And we bring in personal growth tools each month to work on and whatnot. And so I would say, sign up for my newsletter or send me an email and just, I’m happy to answer my own emails and requests from the website here. See if you do well, if all energy is connected, then I’ll do well, and we’re all connected. And so yeah, let’s just make the world a better place together.

Lorne Brown

Make the world a better place by making your inner world a better place.

Marlyna Los

Exactly. And supporting each other. This is not, the core says when two or more are gathered for the purpose of higher consciousness, right? There’s an energy to that. We’re not meant to be solitary alone people, we’re meant to support one another.

Lorne Brown

Alright, you’re welcome. That was Marlyna Los. Also, if you’re a practitioner on Healthy Seminars, Marlyna has a course on Feng Shui related to fertility. So it’s approved for continued education credits. In the community library, we have lots of talks from Marlyna because she offers quarterly a prediction of what’s happening in the universe and the environment and how to use your energies to work with the universal energies. So check out the community library and the community lectures because that’s an ongoing thing that Marlyna offers.

Marlyna Los

I like to use the word probabilities rather than prediction

Lorne Brown

Probabilities.

Marlyna Los

Alright, I just look at probabilities. Is it going to rain? You need an umbrella, but we don’t know for sure.

Lorne Brown

Perfect. So I like that. So we’ll change rather than gifts, opportunity and rather than predictions, probabilities of what could be unfolding. And so how to work with energy. And if you don’t like the probabilities, you can maybe shift the energy so that probability does not become

Marlyna Los

Yes. So it’s shifting fate into a tool that you can work with to change. It’s not doomed. We all can change our destiny.

Lorne Brown

We all can change our destiny. So those are on Healthy Seminars for my colleagues that she offers quarterly. And then she does have an on-demand course as well, do check that out and that’s on healthyseminars.com for my colleagues. And then Marlyna’s personal website is
