Karen. Over the last year or so, we've learned how everything is made
up of energy, right, so our bodies, the space we live in,
the food we eat everything right rightes okay? And depending how freely or
how blocked that energy is, we also know it can either cause a lot
of challenges in your life or it can make them infinitely better. Right.
But I've always asked myself what causes these blockages and how can something as simple
as like relocating a couple of things in your home or your office help to
ease things like happiness, prosperity, calm. Well, that's what we're talking
about today with national best selling author of the books I'm With Your Stuff.
Change your life and make a shift, change your life on this episode of

Welcome to the show, Karen ral Carter. I'm so excited to be here.
You hear a lot about Fung Shway, and there's a lot of misconceptions
about what it is, what it's not, how it actually works. So
let's just start from the very beginning. What is function? I describe it
as a method of mindfully arranging your environment so that it consistently supports you in
the life of your dreams and where you're going, as opposed to because it's
either supporting you or not, whether you are mindful about it or not.
So instead of your life being willy nilly or random, you can set your
intentions by well, I'm just going to say, you know how, there's
that saying where people say dress for the job you want, not the job
you have. Just think of me as the person who dresses your environment for
the life you want, not the life you have, and you'll get the
whole concept. Can you come over to our house now, please? That
needs your help? Badly. Bert Soule Consultation especial for the members. I
will talk all about that, but let's dive a little deeper into it.
So it's easy to say, right, you can relocate a couple things in
your house and suddenly everyone's happy. How how does that work? Well,
it's basically a quantum physics situation here, you know. And now you're talking
about language. I've spoken on this Stanford campus to all of the professors and
they were a little bit skiddish because I guess there's kind of like a couple
alpha dogs of the professors, you know. And I was like, ooh,
tough crowd, right, And then the head of the physics department stood
up and he said, I just want everybody to know that, according to
you know, whatever, like from a quantum physics point of view, everything
she said so far completely checks out. And then the crowd kind of was
with me. I was like, ehw tough crowd at Stanford. But they
if a quantum physicist from Stanford gives me the stamp of approval, I'm like
yay. So it's all about, you know, the laws of energy.
Everything is energy. There's no there's only one thing energy, that's that's what
we're dealing with here. So it's a way of organizing that in your three
dimensional spaces. Kind of like when you plant a plant and you want it
to flower. You don't just, I don't know, work on the flower.
You give it more better soils, unlight, water, all the things
not touching the plant or the seed at all. You're just manipulating the environment
so that it is more conducive to blooming. So I want you to grow,
bloom and thrive, versus will deplete or die. And it's just all
cells are doing that pattern from our microbiology on up. And there is a
pattern to the universe. When light goes through a prism, the color of
the rainbows are, it's a certain pattern. So there are patterns in three
dimensional space that I have had the luxury of spending several decades. Ah I
don't even want to say how many of these days. But if you go
into people's homes, they tell you what their problems are, and you see
their environment enough, you will know the patterns. It's kind of like I
think about a doctor. You go, I got these rush on my arm
and they go, oh, it's masles, and you're like, oh,
my God, of all the choices, how do you know? And they're
like, I've seen it a million times. I've luckily been all around the
world looking at people's stuff, hearing the problems. And now I'm to the
point where quite often I can tell people what they've got in their house just
by them complaining or telling me what their problem is. Because I have I
am a pattern seer. So orry then people call me detective home detective.
I root out the issue of what is what makes you have that unwelcoming thing
in life? Why do you have it? Your next door neighbor doesn't,
et cetera. Why does this neighborhood have it? The next door neighborhood doesn't,
you know? I look at the micro patterns all the way up to
the cosmosis, so everything's patterns and that makes perfect sense to me. The
patterns the energy to flow, and will see here's the proof. This is
why I get so cranky when the house is messy. It drives me nuts,
like my mood starts to shift and after like two or three days,
I mean, for lack of better terms, I'm super bitchy. And that's
just because stuff is everywhere and it drives me crazy, and you know you've
never seen happy for the bitcho meter was like a direct reflection of the state
of the top of my desk, Like that literally would be if I would
leave it a mess and come in the next morning. You know, it
was just I'd start off on the wrong foot. Yeah, absolutely, with
my car gets missy and I'm not a neat freak, so it'll like slowly
accumulate. But once it gets past that point, it's bad. It's see
there all right, all right, so it will hang on, hang on
a second, because before I met you, I was a mess by my
house was a mess. I was a I was the epitome of the bachelor,
right, My my apartment was not was not a date ready, let's
just put it that way. But but my life was great. I was
making great money, great friends, a lot of fun. So how he
was disconnect You were sad and lonely and love was not in your life.
Well, I think that's a conversation bad decisions. I think it's a conversation
we had to have outside of the microphone. But I know all those patterns
just like I love it, I lo you. So then how can how
can you explain that that disconnect there. Yeah, well, depending on the
actual complaint. So if somebody says opportunity never finds me, or I've just
been so unhealthy, I cannot recharge, I cannot gain energy, It depends
on the exact complaint tells me where the problem is in their house. And
if they say opportunity never knocks on my door, you know, I know
it's that from the trip from the street to the actual threshold of the front
door, that would be where I would go look as opposed to you know,
some people that know a little bit about Functuai. You know, like
this is my book and it's got the little bogwah area around For those of
you who know about the bagwah, people just go right to that area And
I'm like, well, you're the type of person. You're the type of
person that forget the bagwah. You don't even have enough energy coming in,
you know. So just like our body, we put air, food,
water, you know, that keeps our bodies sustained in our mouth. The
architecturally intended front door is the mouth of chi or the mouth that would invite
the energy to come into for prosperity, for health and relationships, and you
could have a great prosperity area but a missing relationship area. Or when you're
talking about making bad decisions, that's the front left part of the house.
Something might be weak there. Maybe you had the bar you're picking like a
bachelor, a picture of the bar all set up over there on the front
lap or something like that. That would be like clouding your decision making skills.
It gets quite comical. It's kind of like that where somebody says,
oh my god, my love life it's in the toilet, and I of
course they're going to have a bathroom in the back righthand part of the house
because of the way they describe it. We describe our lives in architectural terms,
like I'm running into a brick wall with everything I do. My life
is in the toilet. You know. We say things that are architectural breaking
the glass ceiling is about women getting ahead of the workplace, but a weird
architectural term. And then we personify our house. Oh my house needs a
facelift, you know. Like so it's very interm messed from a languaging point
of view. So ten minutes with me coming into your house as the functional
consultant. I listen to the words you tell me, and then I go
find it because you just gave me all the clues to what's going on that
needs changing in your house. Is it like a river? I picture like
energy that you hear about acupuncture, for example, and you put the needles
in and I'm wondering if you were going there, Karen. But they put
needles in your body so that it helps redirect energy that's flowing through your bodies.
That's the same general principle with func shuai. Like a river of energy
flowing and then you put a cactus in the middle, makes it all go
to hell because it's you know, the guy got to flow around it,
and now the needles kind of hold it back. Is that kind of how
it works. I would say that traditional Chinese medicine and funk shuai speak very
much the same language. I might often tell my clients go to a TCM
practitioner get their diagnosis, and they'll say something like, you know, kidney
yin deficient. And if they get that TCM diagnosis, then I can actually
do that same thing to their house, and I would match what the what
the acupuncturist or Chinese orb Letto, you know TCM practitioner would be doing.
It's a direct correlation. So this is a science, right, This is
something that is for sure like tried toue proven that kind of thing. It's
not just wishful thinking. Yes, you are a product or environment, like
it or not. I mean, I don't know if you know of a
Bruce Lipton's work. He's a cellular biologist and he watches under you know,
nano microscopes or whatever, the cells and their reproductive in their you know,
nucleus and blah blah, and he boils and it's it's kind of is funny
in my world because he boils. It all down to the two things that
affect cellular health is number one, your environment and number two your perception of
your environment. So what could be very annoying to Karen could be not annoying
at all to you. Your perception of your environment is just as impacting as
the actual physical environment. So that's where we can get into the subconscious and
all of the things of you know, oh that picture reminds me of my
ex or whatever, and you're just like, Okay, that doesn't work for
you. But that person has no connection to that as a perceiving that as
a negative picture. You know, they could have it, but it's no
longer. You know, you've just voted it off the island of your house,
you know. So the perceptions are key. I want to know,
is there something that is super common that everyone, well not everyone, but
so many people do that they shouldn't do, Like I've heard a mirror by
the entrance way. Is there one thing that you see constantly that you're like,
Nope, change that, boy, there's so many The one I would
say that, well, besides clubs or which you just talked about, like
if you can't even get energy in, you know, if you're wading through
the morass of stuff and you're languaging, I'm so stuck and I can't get
ahead and I can't move forward, like you know, you've definitely got something
blocking physically. But I would say that the next thing would be having a
solid wall behind you where you're sleeping and where you're officing. So your office
desk should not have a window behind it behind you you have behind your office
chair or your headboard should not have a window or door either one both,
so your tear back where you spend the most amount of time. Wherever that
is. Maybe it's at the dining room table because that's where you be jewelry
for a living or something like that. I don't know. Wherever you spend
the most amount of time affects you the most. So let's get those spots.
So a functionally consultant would tear about the bed because that's usually like one
third of your twenty four hour day, and then where you're officing another third
of your twenty four hour day. So if I can get your daytime,
works space and your bed space empowered, healthy, et cetera, then you
know, it's kind of job pretty you know, checked off because the other
time when you're driving and randomly at shopping in whatever, so that would be
you know, I would say the top thing. And most people that they
want to stick their desk up against a wall and they're facing a wall and
they're like, I try, I'm running into a brick wall with everything I
do. I'm like, well, there's the wall, let's move your desk.
Or or when there's a window behind you or a door or something behind
you. You know, people don't like to be in the cubicle. It's
a very subservient like, oh, who's back there? I can't oh eat
us, And so we want to make sure that you're just like, come
in, sit down, talk to me. You know, have a seat,
You've got command over the over the room. And so if there's a
window behind a children's headboard. Above the children's head board, they're the kids
that are getting bullied at school. They're they're in a forced vulnerable position.
And adults that just get picked on by the foss or whatever, or with
the window behind you, they might say the complaint, well, I didn't
see that one coming, or nobody's got my back. They stabbed me in
the back. All these things where their back is exposed equals their back being
exposed in a physical environment with a window behind the headboard or behind their office
deps. This is fascinating and truly fascinating. I'm thinking back of all the
like behind our couch is a big window. Right. I think we're good
in the bed. I think we're good in the office. Although my office
chair does face the wall, it faces a corner. There is a window
next to it, so it's not so bad. But you don't think about
things like that being so influential in how your life goes. But it makes
sense when if you have energies they're clashing or it's just not flowing through.
That all makes sense. But did you have a question care? Yes,
so I'm wondering now. Sometimes you live in situations where you have no choice.
Like our living room of three walls, only one of them is a
fireplace, and then two of them have bod windows, so we have to
put the couches again with the windows to our back, and we're there a
lot. We both work from home, so sometimes I'll be sitting on the
computer or working from there. Is there something that you can do when you
don't have that option of not having a window behind you. That is an
excellent question. Karen Ensley and Karen Carter will ask you to answer that for
us right after this. Well, you asked for it, then you ask
for it again, then you demanded it. Well, finally we have heard
you. The Skeptic Metaposition Merchandise store is now open with really fun show logo
designs on things like shirts and mugs to notebooks, phone and laptop cases and
everything in between. You can now take your favorite Metaphysics one to one show
with you everywhere you go just go to Skeptic metaposition dot com slash store and
you'll find a ton of cool stuff you can select from stickers, buttons,
even COVID masks, wal art, toad bags, tapestries, you name it,
we probably have it. Help us spread the word about the show.
Get your skeptic medahsicition merch right now skepticmdevsition dot com slash store And now back
to the Skeptic metaphysicians. Sometimes you live in situations where you have no choice.
Like our living room. We have three walls, only one of them
is a fireplace, and then two of them have big windows, so we
have to put the couches again with the windows to our back, and we're
there a lot. We both work from home, so sometimes I'll be sitting
on the computer or working from there. Is there something that you can do
when you don't have that option of not having a window behind you, And
that's what a FUNCTIONWOI consultant does. We try to position you in the best
of the lots. You know, there is no perfect functuoid house. You
have to create the best of what you've got, and sometimes, given my
client that is the chemo. But you know whatever. I'm like, we
don't have time. No, you're moving, you know, Like I will
shift everything, like depends on how much time I've got to turn it around.
Although for those of you who have paid attention to me earlier, it's
a quantum world and we can get things immediately. But I'm just you know,
trying to shift the energy in such a way. And if I don't
have, you know, I'm like, Okay, there's a window there,
there's a door there. Given the choices I have, like my hierarchy of
this is better than that, that's better than that. That's the worst.
I will avoid that at all costs. It's called the death position, you
know. So we don't want that en and so we're always trying to get
people. And that's where those traditional functual cures come in. And that was
you know, I liked your title using the word skeptic. I was rather
skeptic when I got into this. I'm a landscape architect. I had my
own design firm. Never was intending to change into an author or a best
selling author or worldwide trap whatever, and I needed to learn functually to get
a project in Honolulu because China Airlines owned the property, and they said,
everybody needs to know funk Shue to be on the design team. And that
was in the late eighties, early yeah, around eighty nine or so.
There. Nobody knew fukshui from anything back then, and so I was desperate
enough, you know, the recession of that whatever. I'm like, yeah,
yeah, I know funk Shway and I'm like, oh my god,
where am I going to learn from Shways? And then I learned these things
about a crystal in a mirror, and I'm like, come on, and
you know, how can that do anything? I had to go all the
way back to the law of reflection, the law of refraction. I had
to learn the science behind those squirrely little cures or else it just seemed like
come on, you know, I just literally had to. I was the
skeptic myself, and I went back to the laws of reflection and refraction and
all those things to make it make sense so I could suggest those cures with
a straight face basically. So that's kind of how I got into it.
Love that you started right off the top with the scientific aspect of it,
the quantum mechanics aspect of it, because you are speaking my language, so
that helps me right away level set like, Okay, we're not talking about
some WOOO stuff. We're talking about something that pragmatically there's an explanation behind it,
So then I can put all the skepticism behind and I'll talk about what
functually really is and how it actually can be put to you. So thank
you for that. Now you mentioned a little bit earlier something that I have
no idea what it means, and probably most of the people listening have no
idea what it is. But Karen Ensley, do you know what a bogwa
is? Well, no, I don't. Okay, we played it off
really well, but I'm actually glad you don't, because most people read my
book it's been around since y two K. They believe it or not.
Why and remember why two K? Yeah, that worked out really well for
everyone. Ages me greatly. But most people that read my book they it's
divided up into the areas of life, which is the Bogwa map, and
most people get so hung up on that Bogwa map they forget why they're doing
what they're doing. They just put a bunch of stuff in each one of
the areas of life. And I'm like, you can do that but like
the TCM practitioner that's using six needles instead of one in every possible hole of
your whole entire meridian system. You know, you just do the things that
will create enough shift to get you moving to that next area of life,
as opposed to throwing your life into chaos. I have seen people, and
I've learned as a functionally consultant, I used to do that. I'm like,
let's do it all, and then they're like, life goes, you
can there's a smoother way to do it. You know, I'm picking your
life. The trajectory of your life based on your house is in this one
particular direction, and I am now you're telling me I want to change this
and this and this and this about my life. I'm picking that train up
and I'm putting it on another tack going in that direction. And in between
there sometimes a little dust gets kicked up and a little chaos ensues, and
some things might break in your house. Like it's kind of like I consider
them the weak links of the chain that could not hold the energy for that
new life of yours. They break, you fix them, and now you're
off and running. So I you know, it's the law of doing the
least to getting the most result, kind of like an acupuncturist. So most
people read my book and they're like power through every part of their house and
it just is a little chaotic. So I'm going to recommend. I'm gonna
say, don't learn about the bagua yet. Just listen to your language,
listen to how you complain, and go find the antidote. People say I
just can't get a handle on that, I go, is your doorknob loose
or your handles loose or your indors because they just said handle you see it,
like, I'm so drained all the time. I'll be checking your plumbing.
We complain in architectural terms. We're telling the very tales of what's going
on in our environment. So maybe that's when people are really happy. They
say they're on cloud nine and they're not confined by architecture. There you go.
I speak on cruise ships a lot. I travel the world. I'm
actually a home free person, digital complete, digital nomad for over three years.
And because I have experimented with every part of FUNCTU. I did my
house as watery as you can, all the five elements water wood, fire,
earth, metal. I've done my house all fiery, all medally,
all watery, just to see what the heck happens to me. I'm like,
oh yeah, it's true. Balance is better, you know, like
whatever, And I am currently because of the declutter conversation. I say to
my clients, space equals opportunity. So when you are when you've got something
taking up space in your house, it can only be that thing there.
It is that thing, it's taken up that volume of space. But if
you take it away, a lot of people mentally go, I've got nothing,
and I'm like, no, you are filling that space with infinite potential.
So the reframe of filling your house because a lot of people have this
no thing fear of nothingness, no stuff, you know, so looking at
what is the maximum infinite potential and this comes back to you like being homeless
or home free? Right, I choose to be home free because I am
experimenting with infinite potential. I being absolutely free of stuff. I'm a little
Gandhi out there right, I don't have much of anything, and I say,
space equals opportunity. Let's see how far it goes. I'm riding it.
I'm experimenting. I want to tell my clients, this is how far
I think you need to go, because I've gone all the way to the
edge and my life is crazy good, you know, traveling the world.
Maybe other people wouldn't want to do that as their future. But my friends
and family, they're like, you just need a house, you just need
a base, you need just one. And I'm like, that sounds kind
of limiting to me now that I'm on the other side, very odd.
I'm in a unicorn world right now where not many people can relate to my
home free. Oh there's a lot of digital nomads out there kind of doing
it, but the average person is just like, no, no, can't
do that. But I'm like, you know what, I'm here to tell
you. The problem is, you know, the problem is. The problem
is too much freedom is almost analysis paralysis. Just like Yin and Yong when
Yin, when Yin turns into young, it's not the opposite things, two
different worlds. It's the opposite ends of one thing. And that tai Chi
symbol of Yin and Yang, it's one thing, and I have gone to
complete freedom to now I'm like, oh my god, I could go to
Paris, I could go to Morocco. I could. I'm stuck because now
I'm so free, and it's right back. The yn just comes right back
into it. You know, you cannot you cannot have one without the other.
And so I've gone to the nth degree of spatial freedom. That's like
it worked when they gave us an unlimited amount of vacation time and then we
went yay, unlimited, never go. Then we got paralyzed, like I
can't take any vacation time because I don't I don't know how much I'm supposed
to take or not supposed to take. And it completely freaked me out.
But I guess I gotta take issue with something you said. My favorite movie
in the world taught me that the fifth element, Madam, is love,
not metal. Just to be getting clear, yes, yes, Lee Lou
told me it was love, and that's what I'm going with. But I
know and the Native Americans have the four so with air. So yeah,
yeah, it's it's literally we're talking about one thing, energy and the way
we just have to use language to describe, you know. I need a
little more upward moving, you know, and there's just we just need to
break it down. It's the five elements but it's really one energy and it's
their movement. It's the way it morphs into It's kind of like the rock
paper scissor game. So it's yeah, it's just a languaging issue. We
need to take a quick break, but we'll be right back with more amazing
conversation on the skeptic metaphysicians. Earlier on in the conversation, you mentioned the
word results, and not to kind of change a subject, but kind of
to change a subject. Once you come in and people start making these changes,
are the results slow or do they suddenly see results? Like what can
someone expect? I've seen everything. I've seen the gamut from the Just to
show how long I've been doing this. Oh my god, this thori is
so dated. I don't know why it even popped in my head. I
was in downtown Chicago with a guy who was working on a deal for like
nine years, some like Motorola or something like that, I can't remember,
and his fax machine was sitting over there. Just to show you the of
this story. So this was pre white two K. This is no cell
phone, and you know Beeber's pager, I don't know telephone, and he
had all this stuff by the front door, and he had boxes of books
that he wrote or something like that, and so I just said, you
know what, let's just can I use the hallway for a bit. I'm
just going to show you the volume of stuff that you can have in this
house, and I'm just going to set the remaining out in the hallway for
now. So we started moving this stuff and I'll like putting it in front
of the other guy's door whatever, I'm getting it away from his space.
And while we were doing that, the facts comes through of the signed deal
and he's like, you know, I love that dick today. Were you
expecting or he goes, no, nine years I've been working on that deal.
No, like today was nothing special. Now it's getting a little harder
for me to kind of wrap my head around that. That just seems like
magic to me, Like it this is this is a legit story. Yeah,
yep, yep. And I mean I've well, one of my favorite
stories was here in Los Angeles. I'm in California now, and she had
frozen shoulders, both frozen shoulders, so she could move her hands to her
elbows, but she could not move from her shoulder to her elbow. Was
just kind of locked by her side, so she had like pulleys to get
on. It was like a strange situation. And I went to her house
and she did have a sloping ceiling above her bed. She had window behind
her bed, and the energy was going straight in the front door and straight
out the back window because it had an ocean view, which is kind of
like diarrhea of the house, you know, like energy in, energy out.
So so I did a few basic things, and I didn't feel like
I hit the nail on the head. She was the first person I ever
felt guilty about taking their money. I was leading and going, oh,
that was a pretty serious thing. And I did the basics. I did
the things that you're supposed to do. But once again, come on.
And so she told me that she told me that the surgeons either wanted to
just knock her out and go and like rip it and get it going because
her physical therapy. She's been doing physical therapy for three years and she wasn't
getting anywhere. And she says, I just do not want to have these
surgeries. I beg you, you know, it's like this is I call
it last chance, Karen. You know, I've tried it all let's try
functui. You know, it's like absolutely desperate people come to me because they
don't have anywhere else to go, and I'm usually the one that turns it
the other way. So she I'm like, I don't know if I did
it. And then about three months later, I was doing a workshop in
La and she's in the back of the room. Hi. She walks in
the back door and I go, hold on, I go, oh my
god, did you have the surgery? What happens? She's like, no,
it just started loosening up as soon as and then she goes it just
undid itself in three months. That to me, I personally couldn't believe that
one because I was like stuck for three years and in three months, you
know, so wow, I hold up. You avoid surgeries and things,
and that to me is the shocking shocking things. So this works not only
in your environment, but it also helps you with physical ailments also. Oh
yeah, the Baguah. Every single situation in life, there's a body part,
there's an organ in your body, there's nothing, there's a time of
day, time of year, there's your relationship in your family, like eldest
son, youngest daughter. There's nothing outside of the realm of the universe that's
not built into the functuey parameters. The only thing I can say of late
is what I consider contemporary sung shue that you don't see in too many books,
and how to deal with it, and it's the it's now called the
field of bow biology, which is a German word bow biology like living home.
And that's with all the emf rate on off guessing VOCs, you know,
all that, all the construction materials that we're living with now that aren't
addressed in traditional functue texts and things that we now have to deal with,
like routers and RF and cell towers and things like that. So I I
train people to do what I do, and I include that contemporary functue because
you could be in the best bed position in the world. But if the
circuit panels right behind your house and your router's next to your bed and you're
not going to be you know, and you're sleeping above the garage or whatever,
you're not going to have a healthy life. So wow, yeah,
things you don't think about absolutely. Is this something that could help Karen with
her back for example, going back to that because she's been the reason why
she's going to acupuncture is to try to help fix her back. It just
seems like you're shuttered back right now with that window behind her. So that's
a screen. Funny enough, we'll give you a peek behind the curtain.
That's actually a screen with a light, oh sing behind is it's not actually
a window. Yeah. So the back of the house, the back of
the property, the back of the chair back, the back of the headboard,
and the back where you're where you're cooking. That I would say,
that's the only place I haven't talked about is where you really need to be
in that good armchair position. It's called the armchair position, you know,
like you got all protection from behind, arms on the side protecting you.
You know, Guido and Frido, the mafia, they know funk shway,
they just don't know. They funks way back to the door like you will.
That's me function in my whole life. I had no idea that really
that is legit Funk's way like that is. It's that kind of common sense
of don't put yourself in a vulnerable position. The Twin Towers in New York,
and believe it or not, the United Nations building have been in Functue
books pre nine to eleven like long time as vulnerable buildings, and the World
Trade Center especially was considered vulnerable to the wind. Fung shwe is wind.
Water, Fung is wind, hue is water when you smash them together,
kind of like honey and moon now becomes honeymoon the night after of your wedding.
Fung and shwe wind and water is the art of this creating environments that
are supportive. And the fung is the wind, which means the unseen forces.
That's for the skeptics right there, the invisible forces that can wipe you
off the map or not. And the shue is the water, the scene
forces. This is the yin and the yng of stuff in your environment.
And RF and electromagnetic fields you know they fall in the wind category. Right
You can't see that RF pounding on your head from your cell phone or whatever.
So yeah, just that's how you know, if it helps the skeptics
get their head around the unseen forces, it is built into the program as
well. You have got me hooked. I am so going to look into
this thing because it sounds fascinating. I can't completely wrap my head around it.
But hey, if it works, I'm all for it. Right,
But you know all these negative this patterns. Yeah, well, but then
to your point, a little bit early on, people you know, might
pick up a book and say, Okay, I need to put a water
fountain in this corner of the room. I need to make sure that there's
a window on this corner of the room. And some people might go overboard,
or not go far enough, or even do the wrong gasp, wrong
thing at the wrong place. So really the best thing to do is to
go with someone like you who as a professional, who can actually tell them
this is what you need to do. Right. Is there any danger to
try and do this on your own? Yeah? You know. I wrote
move your Stuff, Change your Life, almost like a laugh while you learn
type of a book. It was the most out of the box functioned book
in its day. But I knew that the energy of excitedly reading is just
a healthier energy than going, oh my god, the toiling of mathematics.
And I don't know, I don't get funk STUEI you know, I just
knew if I could bring that lightheartedness into it. So I'm going to say
to you, movies out there that are wanting to experiment. With the right
intention, you can hardly go wrong. I'm just going to start out,
take it down like you just chill out. That's your chill pill. And
so with the right intention, which is the invisible forces, your intention,
your intention plus the physical change in your environment. That's the wind half,
the invisible half. Why am I doing this? I want more money?
Whatever? And then I'm going to put the purple thing over there, which
if you read my book, they all picked them a purple thing. So
we're going to do that intention well us the thing equals the functionue cure.
So if you get the intention right, it's you know, you've got at
least fifty percent. My teacher used to say sixty percent. I usually say
sixty to one hundred percent, because if you understand the laws of like Bruce
Lee's one inch punch, how can he kill somebody with one inch punch.
There's more going on than the space of one inch for him to kill somebody
with his one inch punch. So it is the energy that's not seen that
is really the most powerful thing. So I tell my clients sixty to one
hundred percent, meaning if you can function your mind, you can function your
childhood home and go through quantum time right through. We say it's a quantum
thing. So you're like, I had a sucky childhood. Let's go back
and paint that wall green, and let's go back and do you know,
let's let's mentally, you know, go through time and space and do that.
I just had to throw that in the dear because it was a skeptic.
I mean, you'd be like that way you see my face right like,
oh, I had to do that because I'm just showing me the quantumness
of this, the quantumness. What if you move a lot? So by
the time I was twelve, I had lived in seven different houses. Like
does each like will that affect you? Every house is like a different chapter
of your life. You know when people go back, oh my god,
I was so healthy there, but boy I couldn't keep a job, or
oh my god, my relationship tanked and that that was the third divorce that
was in that house. You know the houses that address is equal to seven,
they're the four closed ones. The house is an equal ones, there's
the divorce ones. You know. I help people choose real estate too,
you know, I go give me your top picks and I'll help you pick
the one that's best for you based on what I know about you and what
you want out of your life. And believe me, it's all the you
know what's on the market. The happy homes people love, they don't ever
want to give that home. They pass it down generationally, right. But
the ones that are just like, yeah, we got divorce in that house,
pass it on. I got to be prudent when you're out there real
estate shopping, you know, And that's why traditionally the Chinese prefer a brand
new house that nobody else's energy is in, and they create that luck for
themselves. Do people put you on retainer and they just carry around like a
guru or a lawyer or something like that. I do that just because I'm
now in my world travel loving life stage. I built my life. I
don't know, I'm having a lot of fun doing what I'm doing, living
my life, and so I'm a little risk. That's why I'm training people
to do what I do, because I'm trying to be like time for a
moment to go play. You guys take over from here. So I'm trying
to build up that next generation of lineage. I guess if you want to
call it traditional what they would say in the functioning world. But what was
your question? Again, I don't even remember what it was now as a
matter of fact, but retainer does someone get I do have this. It's
called the Move Your Stuff with Karen membership, where twice a month there's calls
and live calls and people send in their floor plans and they send in their
pictures and they're like, I'm functionally in this room? Am I doing it
right? You know? So I help people move along and that's just a
real efficient way for me to hit a whole bunch of people in one sitting.
And because it's a group setting, you know, people learn from others.
I didn't even think about that question or oh I'm going to try that
because it was a success for her because they always report back and they're like,
you know what, remember I said I've wanted five thousand dollars. This
was just one a recent call. She goes like, the five thousand dollars
just came up. She's like, it was less than two weeks and she
was like, I'm just reporting back that thing she said work. So everybody
does, you know. So that's kind of fun because it's a group setting,
and then I do virtual consultations where you know, they send in their
floor plan, they send in pictures, or we walk through with the laptop.
Now, you know, there's different ways we can do it. And
I ask them what they want to change out their lives, how they perceived
their life to be now, how they wanted to be in the future,
and then I give them the little laundry list of to dos, and then
I asked them to check back with me and we fine tune and tweak and
so that's kind of you know, how I help people now. So that's
a great point that you don't actually have to go into someone's house. You
can actually do this virtually now, so anyone in any part of the world.
The show's listened to in the UK, in Ireland and Australia, we're
all over the world, so anybody across the planet could reach out to you
and you can do a virtual consultation with them. Yep, yep. The
only thing that I cannot do is test for electromagnetic fields and radio frequencies in
those bowl biology things, which I will do for my live clients because I'm
there with my meters and things like that. But you know, but we
resolve that another way, you know, like I could send the meters and
teach, you know whatever. There's ways of doing things. But yeah,
so I do virtual consultations. I travel all over the world doing that.
That's that's literally why I became home free, because I was gone more than
I was home, and I wanted to do the experiment on what does how
much opportunity does space give you if you have no things? And so I
travel the world doing these things live and I do them virtually all day long.
That's my job. Wow, well, this has been forty minutes that
have absolutely changed my life. We'll talk offline because we're gonna have you give
us at least a consultation because I'm pretty sure we have some really messed up
stuff in this house. We need to fix something, all this stuff.
If you type in in the promo code under my virtual consultation on my website,
they'll get four hundred dollars off. And just you know, I've developed
that for my people that are just limping in. They've never read my book.
Most people read my book. It's in many languages and they read my
book. And that's why I get these consultations all over the world. But
for those of you who are new to me, you know, I'm happy
to show you what I do and you know, what's that new life worth
for you? You know, like what's the value of that getting rid of
that health condition or getting your children better help in school or whatever you know,
you name it. I'm confident in what I do, so I can
take on the challenge. That's great. So we're going to go ahead and
add that to the members only section of our website. So if you are
interested in reaching out to our guest to have a virtual consultation, be sure
to join our members section so that you can have access to that special discount
that she's so graciously offered. Yeah, that's a huge one, Karen.
If someone wanted to reach out to you, what's the best way for someone
to do that. I mean, they can go to my website, Karenralcarter
dot com or any of the Change it with Karen, which gets to the
virtual consultation you'll work their way in or move it with Karen. Is that
membership program that for thirty seven dollars a month you can join the calls twice
a month. There's plenty of ways. You know, in this book there's
a rerouting what do they call that redirecting website. This is this book is
my follow up to the movie Your Stuff one I'll make a shift change of
life, and this has some of the healthy home stuff in it. Us
Move your Stuff is a basic function way only and this one broadens the conversation
from mind, body, spirit and environment. So this talks about meditation to
raid on. I mean, if all the my total brain dump of extra
things I wanted to add beyond movie stuff change your lives. So we'll go
ahead and add those links directly to our show notes. So if you are
interested in reaching out to Karen or to accessing her book or anything like that,
you can just go to skepticmanephysition dot com, go to her episode page
and we'll have direct links there. So all you have to do is to
click link and I'll bring you directly to her. Karen, this has been
