Effective Feng Shui Tips

Paying attention to color in your environment, at home and at  work can have great effects on your state of mind and emotions.

Bright, strong and bold colors can be used in rooms where you prepare to face the day such as in the kitchen or where you have breakfast.

Using colors that are too dark can depress the atmosphere

Use a warm, dark color scheme in rooms where you want to relax such as in your bedroom or living room. Warm colors include deep greens, or earthy browns, and work well in these rooms.

A word of caution when dealing with feng shui colors is avoid over-doing it. Even if a color is good, it does not mean that more of such color is better. In fact, using too much of a bright color can have an opposite effect by creating tension or anxiety.

One of the first thing that should be done to improve your house feng shui is clear up any clutter. Too much clutter is a strong drain on energy.

Closets full of clothes that you will never wear, broken household electronics that you would not fix, and other leftover baggage provide nothing more than constant reminders of things you have not yet done, which can drain both your emotional and mental energy.

You can change your life by organizing your clutter – or get rid of it. Even if it means removing large items in your home, furniture, and more. If you can not give a good reason for keeping the stuff, then it qualifies as clutter. Toss it today.

Here are some interesting and simple rules to improve your house feng shui:

1. Door rules

• Avoid trees outside, they stop the flow of qi.

• Don’t sit with a door behind you, concentration will go (if you must, close the door and qi will flow).

2. Bedroom rules

• Accident-prone? Sleep in a bed with brass or other metal frame.

• Squabbles with your partner? Put a red rug down, or a red table lamp, to negate the room’s bad effects.

3. Kitchen rules

• Don’t put the stove right next to the sink, this creates blood-pressure problems. Make sure they are at least 30 centimetres apart.

• Avoid an island with a stove. Food is affected by negative qi resulting in health problems.

• Don’t buy a house with a kitchen in the centre. It causes qi disruption and frequent illness.

Living in clutter does not mean that you are a slob or an undisciplined failure. It means that you are human, and your origins are showing.

However, feng shui teaches us that our spaces both reflect and affect our physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing. When our homes become cluttered and disordered, other aspects of our lives tend to feel gridlocked as well.

Not only does a cluttered home reflect a distracted and cluttered mind, it also makes it hard to focus and think clearly.

Therefore, it is essential that we learn the importance of cleaning clutter in our home to get a good house feng shui environment.

If you want to get out of your rut, take control of your moods, feel less stress, have greater confidence and dramatically improve your mood and enerygy level, you must change your life by organizing your clutter.

Let’s take a look at the basic “personality” of each of the 5 elements:

Metal is a positive Yang element and commonly used to suppress the negative earth energy which brings about sickness and setbacks.

Wood evolves from yin and yang and represents all living plants. The Wood element can motivate, inspire and ignite passion within the home and is important in promoting development and encourages the flow of creative energies.

Water is often viewed as a important element as it is a symbol of prosperity, wealth and abundance. So proper use of the Water element can significantly impact the opportunities that comes your way.

Fire is the most yang of the 5 elements and it represents energy and passion. It is considered the most powerful of the five elements and is symbolized by the color red.

Earth encourages a sense of closeness and togetherness and represents qualities of stability, permanence and home.

The basis to having good house feng shui is to balance one’s environment so that we are living in harmony with the elements of feng shui. In feng shui, it is believed that everything in the environment is imbued with movement and emits energy or Qi.

The 5  elements are :

Metal
Wood
Water
Fire
Earth

Balancing these 5 elements of feng shui is essential as each element has it’s own “personality” and role in balancing the Qi within the space. This is a very important aspect of feng shui as Qi is unique and constantly changing and will relate directly to whatever is within the space.

The feng shui principle uses wind (feng) and water (shui) to enhance prosperity, general well-being and good health.

Contrary to popular belief, feng shui is more than mere guidance to redecorate a home or office, and it’s not a religion based on superstitions.

For centuries, the Chinese enhance their house feng shui by examining the flow of  “Qi” or energies through the house and enhance the flow through modifications of the layout and orientation of the house.

Good house feng shui is achieved by having the right orientation, correct energies flow and appropriate feng shui colors that allows the inhabitant to live in harmony with the environment.

It’s an entire philosophy based on improving one’s environment and creating the harmony needed to lead a rich, healthy, and peaceful life.

Beside the orientation of the house, feng shui products can also be displayed around the house as feng shui cures to counter bad feng shui.

Displaying feng shui products in auspicious or power spots can also activate and improve feng shui in the home.

The art of feng shui is not an exclusive one and anybody can benefit from it. Feng shui is all about living a good life. You need to have the balance. You need to have the peace. And feng shui can give you this.
