The approach of spring often makes us think about how we can freshen up our home and make it brighter and more comfortable. Feng shui practices can help us in this endeavor, as they can easily increase the flow of positive energy in the home and, at the same time, maintain a good mood.
At its core, feng shui is the concept of chi —the life force or energy flow in your home. Just as traditional Chinese medicine says that chi flows through the body, feng shui believes that chi circulates in the home. Learn some of the basic techniques for practicing this art.
Incorporate the five elements of feng shui into every room
Although it is not necessary to literally include the five elements (water, wood, fire, earth, and metal), try to bring something into each room that represents them. For example, glass or mirrors can represent water; candles or lamps can represent fire, and ceramics can represent earth. A room that incorporates these five elements will feel comfortable and inspiring.
Bet on healing feng shui shapes
Once you start looking at your home from a feng shui perspective, you will see that every object in your home has a certain symbolism. Sharp corners suggest danger, dying plants are a sign of poor health, etc.
Once you understand this symbolism, you can intuitively apply feng shui “remedies.” These may include hanging mirrors, using octagonal shapes, crystals (especially suspended from the ceiling), leafy green plants, and water features.
Balance your relationship with your partner by positioning your bedroom correctly
Good practices in fun shui dictate that a7> place your bed so that you have a good view of the a15> the door from it. Placing the bed directly opposite the door however is considered unlucky, so try to keep it outside the center.
If you are in a relationship, it is also important to have bedside tables and lamps of the same size, as this suggests equality in the relationship.
Do not allow creative energy to “escape” through the window
By placing your desk in a spot where you can see most of the room, including the door, you’ll probably feel more secure and in control of your space. Also, think about the main purpose of your room: to relax or to dream? Positioning a desk directly in front of a window may be ideal for dreamers, but if your goal is to work effectively, then consider a different layout. For example, move the desk to the side of the window so you can look out when you need a break.
