Feng Shui Your Home
“Feng Shui” is an ancient oriental term that means the way of wind and water. It’s all about the flow of energy and how it enhances your life or detracts form it. It is an ancient Chinese philosophy of nature.
This philosophy depends on the sensible notion that we should live with rather than against our surrounding nature. If we really think about it, we discover that we are not living in vacuum, we are surrounded by feelings and emotions that affects our physical environment. If we surround ourselves with signs and feelings of ugliness and death, we will eventually corrupt ourselves. However, if we are surrounded with signs of beauty and happiness, we will help ourselves create a happy and useful life.
How can we use this to recreate our living space?
Here are some tips that can help you bring positive energy to your surroundings:
· Move your furniture around; it's fun to create something new and exciting to come home to. You will also change the flow of energy, which is good to do every so often.
· Remember when placing furniture, less is always best. Too much furniture can make us feel cramped and can restrict the flow of our opportunities.
· It is best to have bookshelves with doors on the front. But if you don't, then either create shift doors or move all the books forward so they are flush with the front of the shelf.
· Have a garage sale and clean it out at the same time. Not only will you make some money, but you will improve your ability to think more clearly. You will also have more helpful people assisting you along your life's path.
· Playing calming music like ocean waves, forest sounds or rain falling to soothe a stressful working or home environment.
· Do something that lifts your spirit, like placing wonderfully smelling flowers at your desk. They will give you a fresher and a rosier outlook on things.
· Add mirrors to increase the size of a small room. You will create a feeling of more space and also endless opportunities.
