Home sweet home… who would not want to feel calm and at peace all the time when they are at home? Well, that is precisely what Feng Shui is all about.
This ancient Chinese art that translated means wind and water, has as its fundamental purpose to balance and keep energy in constant movement through the correct decoration and organization of our spaces. If our house is fine, we are fine.
So, if you are thinking of redecorating or remodeling a space, or simply feel that you need to “move” the energy, the following tips are for you.
Houses also get sick…
It is useless to have the most beautiful furniture or the most modern appliances if your house is not in tune with what it contains. Houses that begin to suffer damage prevent the correct energy movement, causing energy to accumulate, like a stagnant pool of water, which obviously will end up affecting us.
So, take a few minutes and start walking around your house, carefully observing where it needs some repair: burnt out light bulbs, leaky keys, damp walls, broken glass, doors that don’t open easily… take careful note of everything and get started. let’s do it. Go fixing each flaw and you will notice how you begin to have a different feeling about your house.
And what is the first thing you see when you arrive?
If there is something important for Feng Shui, it is the entrance to your home. Keep in mind that not only you enter through there, the energy too, so it is crucial that it allows its entry and movement throughout the house.
It doesn’t matter if your entrance is big or small, always keep it clean, tidy and illuminated.
As far as possible, locate a piece of furniture that allows you to place your coat, your keys, your wallet and even your shoes. May you feel that your home welcomes you and welcomes you.
You can also place a mirror, yes, never facing the front door but to the sides, and some flowers or plants and photographs that make you feel calm and happy when you see them.
What should never be at the entrance of your house? Invoices and pending accounts. Find another place for them but they are not “waiting” for you every time you arrive and reminding you that you have bills to pay, because this also immediately affects the energy that enters your home.
Plants yes, but with caution
Plants are life and represent one of the five elements of Feng Shui (wood), however, you have to know very well what plants you are going to use in your home.
Make sure your plants have fleshy leaves, such as jades and succulents, as they represent material prosperity and, on the contrary, avoid those with thorns or threatening leaves, as if they were arrows.
Likewise, plants must grow upwards, so hanging cascading plants are not recommended by Feng Shui, as they are considered energy that decreases.
If you choose to have plants in your house, always keep them in good condition, take care of them and if one dies or dries up, discard it immediately and replace it with a new one.
Photographs and images
Many people like to have pictures and paintings around the house. That is fine as long as they are images that do not contain scenes of violence, sadness or scarcity and that the photographs do not make the inhabitants sad.
So, if you decide to decorate with photos and paintings, before placing them, take a good look at what they make you feel, if you are sure that they are positive feelings, place them without any fear.
Less is more
Are you one of the people who considers that your house should look like a bazaar? Well, we have bad news for you: you are accumulating energy and preventing it from moving properly throughout your house.
You do not need to fill your house with furniture and decorative objects, because they not only accumulate dust, but also affect you energetically.
Donate or sell all those things that you do not use or that you have exhibited by commitment. Give space to the energy so that it can act in your favor.
Shoemaker to your shoes
A very important Feng Shui decoration tip is that you give each room the use that corresponds to it.
Do not fill your dining room or living room with books, medicines, homework and toys. Also, don’t make your room your workplace or let your kids’ room look like a battlefield.
That each room fulfills the function for which it was designated, and if the space is small and you must use a room as a bedroom and a study, for example, try to divide both functions based on the correct decoration.
Feng Shui is as long as it is wide, these tips are just the beginning of what it takes to work to get the energy to flow properly in your home. Therefore, it is always better to consult an expert who will guide you in this beautiful and complex art.
