Welcome to Heal Yourself, Change Your Life. My name is Brandy Gillmore. And after recovering from my own life-changing injury, it has become my mission to share with others the same discoveries I made that changed my health and my entire life. Our minds are truly incredible. The placebo is proof of this.
Each week, I will take this simple awareness to a whole new level. I will even coach live callers to free themselves of physical pain using only their mind. And then I’ll provide you with a combination of practical and spiritual insights that you can use to master your mind, your emotions, and your energy to help you heal your health, yourself, and your life. Let’s begin.
Hello and welcome. It is so wonderful to connect with you. I hope that you had a most wonderful weekend. And if you’re here in the U.S. and you were celebrating Halloween, I hope that you had a wonderful Halloween.
I know that I have been seeing some of the cutest kid costumes, and it’s just sweet. And seeing a bunch of masks and costumes—different masks than we’ve been seeing for the rest of the year—it’s a nice change. Really, it’s just sweet seeing people celebrating and having fun. I love that.
And I also love the question that came in for today’s podcast episode. So that said, welcome to this week’s quick IQ episode, where we talk about insights and questions. And let’s go ahead and dive into today’s listener question. Here we go.
The Listener’s Question About Feng Shui and Healing
The email reads:
“Hi Brandy, I would like to ask a question for the question IQ episode. Okay, it’s not really about mindset, so it might not be a great fit, but it is about energy and healing, and I figured since you answered a question about diet on the last episode, my question might fit in and also benefit people.
My question is about feng shui—or really just the energy of your home in general. Some people say that the energy of your house can affect your health. And I’m wondering if you have any thoughts or advice on this. Is this something I should take seriously?
And if this is not a great question for your podcast, then I do have another question about diet. I’m wondering if there is a diet you would recommend above others. Maybe a simple answer such as vegetarian, vegan, or paleo—there are just so many. I would appreciate any insight on this, and if not, maybe you could share a bit about what you eat or any suggestions in this area. Thank you.”
All right. So I love this question. And technically, there are a few questions in this email. And looking at it as a whole, first and foremost: you can ask anything that you like.
I love that she sent a backup question in case the first didn’t fit. But really, you’re welcome to send in any question regarding health, mindset, manifesting, energy, spirituality—anything related to healing, mind expansion, and psycho-spiritual wellness. Chances are if you’re wondering, someone else is too. So feel free to submit anything on your mind.
As for the actual questions—about the energy of your house and diet—I’m going to answer both. But since yesterday was Halloween here in the U.S. and many people may not have had the best diet this past week, I figure it’s best to save the diet question for next week so nobody feels guilty.
As we discussed in last week’s episode, the emotions around food can have a profound impact—more than people realize. So today, we’ll stick to the energy of the house.
How Your Home’s Energy Affects Your Mind and Health
When we look at the energy of your house, the answer is yes—it can definitely affect your health in a variety of ways, because it can affect your mindset in a variety of ways. Both good and bad. And sometimes in ways that are counterintuitive.
Clutter, Messiness, and Overwhelm
If someone has a very cluttered or messy home, it can immediately create feelings of overwhelm. People may feel there is so much to do, that it becomes exhausting, draining, and a constant reminder of unfinished tasks.
This impacts people even on a subconscious level. Even if consciously someone says, “It doesn’t bother me,” there may be an old subconscious voice—perhaps a parent saying, “Clean your room”—triggering subtle guilt or stress.
The Hoarder Paradox
On the other hand, think of hoarders. Many have an underlying pattern of fear. Having many things around them provides a sense of safety.
If you remove all their things suddenly, they may feel deeply unsafe—triggering fear, anxiety, and even physical health issues. So for them, the clutter may temporarily soothe an emotional wound.
Feeling “Not Good Enough” for Company
Another example: people who feel their home isn’t good enough for company—even when it’s 98% spotless. They avoid inviting people over. They push away connection.
And as you know, humans need connection and love for emotional well-being. If your home triggers disconnection or shame, it can affect your health.
Old Emotions Triggered by Objects
I’ve also seen people who lost a loved one and kept many photos displayed. Each time they saw those photos, they were subconsciously re-triggered with emotional pain. Not consciously—but emotionally.
The goal isn’t to hide emotions, but rather to shift them. Still, items in your home can constantly bring old wounds to the surface.
Guilt Connected to the Home
Some people feel guilty about spending money on their home. So even a beautiful home triggers guilt every time they look around. And that guilt energy is harmful—not helpful—to emotional and financial health.
Your Home as a Reflection of Your Mind
Your home can be a reflection of your emotional patterns.
For example:
- A cluttered home often reflects a cluttered mind.
- Holding on to everything may reflect scarcity, insecurity, or fear of loss.
- A pristine home may reflect perfectionism or a fear of judgment.
The key is not to judge it—but to notice it.
Trying to fix the home without fixing the inner pattern usually fails. People say, “I’ll feel better once the house is clean,” but the emotional pattern remains and the home returns to reflecting it again.
Simple Ways to Improve the Energy of Your Home
1. If you feel overwhelmed, start small with scent
If the idea of doing anything big feels overwhelming, start with something simple: add a scent you love. A candle. Essential oils. Anything natural that makes your space feel warm and welcoming.
This alone can shift your mood and energy.
Personally, through COVID I loved experimenting with different scents—lavender, cedar, blends. They made the home feel uplifting. Sometimes I switch scents because you stop noticing them after a while.
2. Work from the inside out
If you feel overwhelmed, unsafe, insecure, or “not good enough,” start with the emotional pattern first—not the home.
Changing the inner pattern creates external change naturally.
3. When ready, commit gently (not forcefully)
If it feels good to you, commit maybe 15–20 minutes per day to improving your space. But keep it enjoyable—put on music, make it fun, keep it light.
Do not guilt yourself, stress yourself, or force yourself. Negative emotions won’t help you heal.
Final Thoughts on Home Energy
Think about how your house makes you feel. Notice if one or two things could change—gently—to support a better emotional environment.
Maybe there’s a picture that triggers sadness. Maybe the clutter reflects an old pattern. Maybe the guilt reflects an inner wound. Small inner shifts lead to outer shifts.
The more positive energy inside you—and around you—the more empowered you feel. And the better life becomes.
Closing Thoughts
We’ll talk about diet more next week (since it deserves its own episode). And this week’s volunteer episode is going to be wonderful—such a sweetheart. So lots of great episodes ahead.
I look forward to seeing you there. Have an incredible rest of your day.
Podcast Closing
Thank you for listening to Heal Yourself, Change Your Life. All of the time, people reach out and say how much these episodes have given them hope, touched their heart, helped them stay positive in hard times, or even woken them up to new levels of awareness of how amazing we really are.
If today’s episode touched your heart or expanded your mind in any way, please do me a favor and share it with those you care about or those you know who need it. As more people become empowered, it really will change our world.
That is the point of these demonstrations—to create a radical shift in our world consciousness by showing everyone what we are all capable of.
Each volunteer will need to follow through to reinforce their programming and maintain their results. But the point is for you to see that you can create rapid results in your health and your life if you understand how to use your mind. You’re incredible.
Most people will not get results this fast on their own. I make it look easy because of the discoveries I made. But there is so much going on in our minds at deeper levels than people realize.
If you want to send questions or comments, visit brandygillmore.com. And if you’re experiencing physical pain and would like to be a volunteer on the show, you can sign up there as well.
Please remember, if you have health issues, don’t avoid your doctors. Continue seeing them—and make it your goal to blow their minds with what you’re capable of with your mind.
Thank you.
