Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese system of aesthetics believed to use the laws of both Heaven and Earth to help one improve life by receiving positive energy flow.
Here are the top 10 tips you can use to Feng Shui your home.
1. The most important Feng Shui tip of all: clear and clutter! Ask yourself two questions about every item in your home: Do I love it? Is it useful to me right now? You need a YES to at least one- preferably both- of those questions to retain the item. Otherwise, it’s not only NOT doing any good, it’s taking away some of the positive chi (life force energy) that might otherwise surround you.
2. Make your entryway inviting; Use mats, wreaths, banners, flags, color-whatever works for YOU- to design an entry that is alive, for the front door is the portal for all the Good of the Universe to come your way.
3. Claim your space! Make sure you have house numbers and your name clearly identified at your home’s entry. If people can’t find you easily and effortlessly, the Universal Abundance will have a hard time getting to you as well.
4. Make sure all your doors and drawers do not stick. All should open easily and effortlessly. Don’t put up with little aggravations, because they drag down energy- yours and the home’s- in a BIG way.
5. Replace all the burned-out light bulbs in the home and consider upping the wattage in key areas. Light is life! It’s goo chi. Efforts to find your soul mate or your career or good health can be helped by simply putting a little light on the subject.
6. Never seat yourself in a vulnerable position. Have a view of the doorway from your chair, don’t sit with your back to the door. Ditto for the bedroom. Your headboard should not be along the same wall as the door. When you sit up in bed, you should be able to view the doorway across the room, but NOT be in the direct line of the doorway with your feet pointing directly out the door.
7. Use ALL the burners on your stove top to invite multiple avenues of prosperity into your life. Each burner represents one avenue of prosperity, so don’t limit yourself and think that all your abundance comes just from that one paycheck.
8. Assure a meandering flow through your home, with no obstacles to your path. Feng Shui is all about bringing nature’s flow indoors. Any obstacles to free, easy movement INSIDE your home can out picture as obstacles to health, relationship, career, etc. OUTSIDE those walls.
9. Remember: “Wherever the eye goes, the chi goes”. Pull your attention to that which pleases and uplifts you.
10. Use the Three Secrets Reinforcement in every Feng Shui “cure” you implement. “Cures” are the actions you take to change the energy of your home. You make those “cures” triply-effective by incorporating body, mind, AND speech in all your efforts. Take an action, speak to your intention AND envision that glorious outcome coming true. Each of those elements- actions, words and thoughts- are powerful and can change the world. Imagine how life-changing it can be to incorporate all three!
