Effective Feng Shui Tips

The ancient Chinese practice of Feng Shui (pronounced fung shway) is the art of object arrangement and space planning designed to bring well-being, harmony, and balance to your living and working areas.   Its purpose is not only to enhance prosperity, but also creativity, health, and romance. Feng Shui fortifies a home with positive energy known as chi. The attainment of positive chi is both an art and a blessing to those who manifest that chi. The word “feng” means wind and “shui” means water, each one associated with a good harvest and ultimate good health or good fortune.

Reducing sublte stresses and irritations is the beginning of the many benefits of Feng Shui , making life easier and more comfortable . A good energy flow is brought about by the application of good Feng Shui , and this makes for a better life and for greater happiness.

Five Fung Shui Tips

1. Arrange your office such that your desk faces the door or is at a diagonal to the door. If this is impossible then consider arraching a mirror to the wall so you can see what’s behind you. Not having my back to the door has helped me work easier.
2. While you are cleaning and organizing pay attention to basements and under your bed as energy rises.   Clutter disrupts the good energy flaw that you’re looking for.   Do you really need all the stuff that makes up that clutter?   You can be sure that you don’t need the stuff if you only see it during spring cleaning.  Cleaning up clutter helped me relax (ie. I could find things easier!)
3. In the kitchen, if you stand facing the wall while you cook you leave your back exposed , a position that is considered weak in feng shui. Hang a mirror on the wall over the stove so that you can see what’s going on behind you while you cook. If something happens, or someone comes up behind you, then you will be able to see it in the mirror.
4. Uplifting energy can be brought into the kitchen with fresh flowers. Place a bowl of fruit, a vase of flowers, or a living plant on your kitchen table, windowsill, or wherever the layout of your kitchen allows. (In feng shui, dried flowers have no life energy in them, so they are not recommended. If real plants are impossible, you can use very lifelike fake ones, but the effect will not be nearly as strong.)
5. If your love life needs a quick boost, you can use the art of placement (Feng Shui for Romance) to produce the romantic results you desire. Dust and cobwebs on the fans, walls, light fixtures and ceilings should be cleaned away. Enhance your space with romance colors, such as shades of pinks, reds and whites. Guys, this does not mean it has to be feminine. You can use maroon, grayish tones of pinks and whites to achieve the same results. You don’t want one color to overpower the others,so consulting with a Feng Shui expert is a good idea.

While this is by no means the ultimate guide to Feng Shui, it is a good start. These five tips will help to give your life the boost it deserves and the fulfillment it requires. Alter your space and you will change your life.
