FENG SHUI – HARMONY IN YOUR HOME

In previous articles we have seen that Feng Shui focuses on enhancing the harmony and vitality of your environment which means that surrounding yourself with things that lift your spirits is a primary goal.

·                    Keep only those things that pass the “I love this” test.  Some people like to fill their rooms with tall plants and bright fabrics whilst others prefer a simple floral arrangement and more muted colours.  Feng Shui is all about pouring your individuality into your home, room by room, in the way that most appeals to you.

·                    Sometimes, people hang art they have never liked but feel obligated to keep because it has been in the family for years.  Try and resist this and perhaps pass it on to another family member who may better appreciate it.  Choose art that is inspirational to you and enjoy collecting works that reflect your goals and dreams. 

·                    Colour can give you a tremendous physical boost if you love it or cause a real depletion in energy if you don’t.  If a colour upsets you, get rid of it and see the positive change in your mood. If colour in your home is an issue between you and your partner there are ways to deal with this.  For example, if you like green but he doesn’t, you don’t need to cause friction by painting your walls bright emerald!  Green is associated with the “Wood” element and can harmoniously be introduced into the decor with flowers,  artwork and richly colored glass objects in your favourite hues.

·                    Attractive lighting enhances any environment while bad lighting can cause irritation.  For example, overhead fluorescent lighting can be harsh and is not ideal in the home.  Instead, install task lighting at different levels to create a warm, comfortable atmosphere.  You will be amazed at the improvement in your energy level – just in time for Carnival!!

·                    Living thing such as healthy plants, vases of flowers, or pets are carriers of vital energy.  They bring nature into our homes, add life and colour and enhance our appreciation of life.

Experiment a little and notice the change!
