Peace and Tranquility in your Nest

In the practice of Feng Shui, everything is energy, and we are in a constant exchange of energy with our surroundings and the environment. Therefore, it is essential to create a Feng Shui home that fosters a happy and healthy flow of energy circulating both within and around the home. At first glance, Feng Shui may appear complex; however, it is rooted in common-sense. Feng Shui is a method for creating tranquility in a person’s life through techniques that invite energy into spaces.

A flow of positive energy (chi) in the home contributes to a balanced, peaceful, and joyful environment. Chi should circulate in a slow, meandering, and steady manner. There are numerous ways to achieve this flow through furniture arrangement, artwork, décor, and interior design. Aligning furniture or placing aesthetically pleasing objects in positions that invite energy to linger can be a simple yet effective solution. To ensure that your energy is positively influenced, it is essential to love everything you surround yourself with. Take a moment to examine your belongings and observe your emotional responses. Objects, artwork or furniture that evoke feelings of irritation, depression, or anxiety drain our energy each time we encounter them. 

Therefore, making thoughtful choices regarding décor, furniture, and layout can invite positive energies into your space.

Through Feng Shui, transforming the energy of your home can lead to a healthier and happier environment for its occupants. A harmonious home is one that can accommodate a variety of activities. Creating such a home requires time and effort. It is crucial for our health that the oxygen we breathe is pure and circulates in our bodies; it is equally important for the well-being of our homes that the energy within is clean and circulates freely.

The more you understand the anatomy of your space in terms of Feng Shui, the more effectively you can cultivate a healthy environment within your home.  Creating a home with such power requires time and effort.

Clean up the passageways if they are blocked by clutter or poor design. Such obstructions can create a feeling of being stuck in our lives, hindering our ability to advance in our careers or even to move forward personally.

To invite positive energy into your space, regularly clean your windows. Scrub both the interior and exterior surfaces, and rinse the window screens with a hose. Additionally, wash your curtains and blinds at least twice a year.

Identifying the geographic center of your home is the home’s “heart.” This is a good place to add fresh, green plants and stone objects such as statues. 

If your front door faces your back door, the energy will race from one through to the other and won’t benefit you at all. Try placing a small screen somewhere in-between to redirect the energy.
