Unveiling Spiritual Gifts and Feng Shui with Author, Alejandra G. Brady, Florida

On September 3rd, 2024, Edge Talk Radio welcomed author, intuitive, interior designer, and Feng Shui practitioner Alejandra G. Brady of Florida for a fascinating conversation about Feng Shui, clearing clutter, synchronicities, and the unexpected spiritual journey that changed the direction of her life.

Alejandra spent decades building a successful career as an interior designer before reaching a turning point around the age of 50. While preparing for cervical fusion surgery, she felt that something was missing from her life. She hired a Feng Shui practitioner to consult on her home, and during that consultation, the practitioner told Alejandra that she would eventually follow in her footsteps.

At the time, Alejandra didn't believe her.

But as she began applying Feng Shui principles to her own home, she noticed changes unfolding in different areas of her life. That experience inspired her to study Feng Shui herself and eventually become certified. More importantly, Alejandra says creating greater energetic alignment within her home helped open the door to a much deeper spiritual exploration.

Meditation became part of that exploration. Alejandra shared that during one of her early meditation experiences, she heard a message telling her she was going to write a book. Her initial reaction was essentially, "No, thank you." But the message continued.

Eventually, she began writing.

As Alejandra documented what was happening in her life, experiences from her past began making more sense. She recalled seeing people who had died, including a boyfriend who passed away when she was 16, and gradually began recognizing experiences she had previously assumed were normal as part of what she now understands as her intuitive and spiritual abilities.

Working with different healers helped her develop language for what she was experiencing and learn how to establish boundaries around those experiences. She also learned that opening spiritually didn't mean she had to accept everything that came her way. Discernment, boundaries, and paying attention to what genuinely resonated with her became important parts of the process.

Interestingly, Alejandra traces much of this spiritual awakening back to what initially seemed like something much simpler: changing the energy of her home.

When Clutter Is More Than Clutter

One of the most interesting parts of the conversation was Alejandra's explanation of clutter.

In Feng Shui, she explained, creating change isn't necessarily about adding something to a particular area of your home and expecting an immediate result. Sometimes the more important action is removing what is no longer serving you.

Alejandra shared a lesson from her teacher: if someone is trying to hand you something valuable but both of your hands are already full, how can you receive it?

The same idea can be applied to our lives.

Physical clutter may be the easiest kind to recognize, but Alejandra discussed how clutter can also represent emotional attachments, unfinished business, subconscious concerns, or everyday obstacles. In her Feng Shui practice, even the location of clutter can carry different meaning. She described attic clutter as potentially connecting with mental clutter, basement clutter with subconscious issues, and clutter at eye level with obstacles we repeatedly encounter in daily life.

Her own experience after losing her parents illustrates how emotional and physical clutter can become intertwined.

Alejandra inherited many of her parents' belongings and kept things she didn't actually like because she felt obligated to hold onto them. A Feng Shui consultant finally pointed out that these objects didn't represent who Alejandra was and gave her something surprisingly powerful: permission to let them go.

She donated some belongings, gave others to people who genuinely loved them, and began releasing objects she had kept primarily because of guilt or obligation. For Alejandra, clearing those possessions also meant releasing some of the emotional weight attached to them.

That clearing became part of the transformation that followed.

Creating Space for Something New

Throughout the conversation, Alejandra repeatedly returned to the idea that our surroundings affect us and that sometimes we need to create space before something new can enter our lives.

She shared examples from her Feng Shui practice involving relationships, creativity, health, wealth, career, family, and other areas of life. Rather than viewing these parts of life as completely separate, she sees them as interconnected.

She even described discovering that the creativity area of her own home felt blocked. After clearing and changing that space, she associated the shift with greater creative flow and the development of her book.

For someone overwhelmed by the idea of decluttering an entire home, Alejandra offered a much simpler approach: start small. Begin with one drawer. Then perhaps a closet. Eventually, move to a room.

Trying to transform everything at once can become another source of overwhelm. Creating space gradually can make the process much more manageable.

Clearing Spiritual Clutter, Too

The conversation eventually expanded beyond physical possessions into another interesting idea: spiritual clutter.

As people explore spirituality, they may collect practices, teachings, modalities, classes, beliefs, and information along the way. But Alejandra's experience suggests that growth doesn't require holding onto every single thing we encounter.

Some things resonate for a period of our lives and later don't.

Learning to recognize what feels aligned—and allowing ourselves to release what doesn't—can create greater clarity. Alejandra discussed becoming more discerning about healers, collaborations, clients, and spiritual practices as her own journey progressed.

Her approach is not that everyone must follow the same path. In fact, she emphasized the opposite. Even within Feng Shui, there are different schools and approaches, and she encourages people to find the one that resonates with them rather than mixing together so many different systems that they become confused.

From Spiritual Awakening to I Just Can't Make This Up

Alejandra's spiritual experiences eventually became the foundation for her book, I Just Can't Make This Up.

Writing it wasn't always easy. It required revisiting experiences involving grief, adoption, family, fear, spiritual awakening, and other deeply personal parts of her life. But as the stories came together, Alejandra began seeing how sharing her experiences might help other people navigating their own spiritual journeys.

The book ultimately became part of her willingness to use her voice rather than hide experiences because others might not understand them.

Her journey demonstrates an interesting progression: changing her physical environment led to exploring energy; exploring energy led to deeper spiritual questions; those questions led to recognizing intuitive experiences that had been present throughout her life; and eventually, those experiences became something she was willing to share publicly.

What I Learned From Alejandra G. Brady

What stood out to me most was understanding the correlation between the energy we hold onto and the clutter we accumulate—not only physical clutter, but mental, emotional, and even spiritual clutter.

Sometimes we hold onto possessions, beliefs, experiences, or obligations simply because they have been part of our lives for a long time. But when everything is already full, there isn't much room for something new.

By clearing our personal clutter and releasing what no longer serves us, we can create space for new experiences, opportunities, and growth. For Alejandra, that process became part of opening herself spiritually and noticing the synchronicities appearing around her.

Sometimes opening ourselves to something new begins by making room for it.
