Feng Shui is essentially the practise of enhancing the energy or "chi" within your home to bring more harmony and balance. Listed below are 10 simple things you can do to begin the process.
1) The pathway leading up to your front door should be clean, neat and have a smooth flow. Any dead plants or weeds should be removed. If your pathway has sharp corners, soften them with lush, healthy potted flowers/plants. Your porch should also appear neat clean and clutter free. Healthy plants/flowers on either side of the front door will make your entrance feel warm and inviting. The front door should be well lit at night to help lift "chi".
2) Upon entering your home, the entry way should appear spacious, open, clean and clutter free of shoes, bags, jackets, etc. If space allows, family photo's on the walls or a table that fea-tures family photo's and trinkets that reflect those who live in the home, is very auspicious.
3) Clutter brings with it negative feelings. Clear all your rooms of unnecessary clutter taking over the rooms. Anything that blocks you from easily getting from one area to another should be re-arranged so that energy can flow easily through each room.
4) Your home is your haven and should only contain items that you enjoying seeing. Any bro-ken items should be repaired or removed. Donating unwanted items to a shelter or charity would be a great place to take all your unwanted treasures.
5) Burnt out light bulbs should be replaced as soon as possible as this creates stagnant "chi".
6) During daylight hours, open as many doors and windows in your home as possible. (Maintain a comfortable temperature.) Filling your home with the suns rays and fresh air also fills your home with positive chi. This also helps to lift your spirits.
7) Plants are a wonderful way of creating beauty and "sheng chi" in your home. Plants fill a room with life and oxygen to clean the air. They must be healthy and not "take over" the room. Too many plants in one room creates clutter and can block "chi" from flowing from one area to another. Distribute them around your home in various rooms. Lush, large round leafed plants and flowering plants are the most auspicious. Avoid spike plants.
8) Sound is a wonderful way to clear "sha chi" or negative energy within our homes. The sound of a piano, beautiful music, a bell or pendulum clock are all effective ways of convert-ing negative energy into positive.
9) Bedrooms should reflect a peaceful calm place to rest and sleep. Desks, computers, exercise equipment or TVs are all objects that will create the opposite effect in a bedroom. They are disruptive to your sleep and to the energy in the room. Headboards should never be placed against a wall that contains water pipes of any kind. Fountains or running water should also be kept out of the bedroom. Clutter of any kind should be organized and redistributed to closets, storage or donated. Clutter in the bedroom also smoothers romance.
10) Avoid circular designed furniture in the bedrooms. The circular shape will create a flow of chi that is too rapid for the room and could result in restless sleep.
Most importantly,
keep things simple and surround yourself with only things that bring feelings of joy and that are pleasing to you.
These are the first steps to creating balance and harmony in your home and in your life.
