What if we tell you that one of the ways in achieving balance in life is as easy as rearranging furniture and decorations at home? Yes, that’s correct and we have Feng Shui to thank for that.
Feng Shui is the ancient Chinese practice of using energy (chi) to achieve harmony between individuals and their surroundings. It’s basically rearranging objects in your home to have a positive impact on yourself.
With all the negativity happening around, AllHome thinks it’s worth a shot to harness some of the natural forces’ energy and restore some balance into our lives. Want to invite good energy and make luck flow all over your home? Follow these 7 simple ways to use feng shui in your home and make yourself the luckiest person this year.
Let’s start off with the front door because it acts as the portal for good energy to pass through.
Keep the front door clear and well-lit. Add in a good lighting fixture for this to keep it well-lit at night. Try to also add your shoe rack and umbrella stand near the front door as these items need a “home” because they hold the energy beyond your home. You can also open the front door for the energy to come inside as they please but never leave it unattended, as burglars are not good energy.
To invite good energy, place a red artificial plant as your door decoration. You can also hang it on your door hardware or have red accents on the door itself. We use red because, in Chinese culture, red is a color synonymous with luck, good fortune, and positive energy.
Another reason to keep your home clean. A cluttered home is a product of a cluttered mind. Excessive clutter sucks the positive energy and takes space for incoming energy. It also offsets the balance and can block the flow of energy.
Find some storage organizers and boxes at AllHome online to store items like Christmas decorations and children’s toys so that they won’t be lying around the house.
You might ask, why clear up the clutter for energy to flow then slow it down? Well, the answer is simple. Excessive clutter symbolizes negative energy. And you don’t want negative energy sucking the positive energy flowing in your home.
Once that positive energy is inside, try to hold it as long as possible. Let the energy pause and let it go around the whole room. Use items that catch attention such as artworks, wall decors, living room decors, and rugs to slow down and impede the energy flow.
It’s a good thing AllHome has all sorts of these decors; you can check the online store to pick from a huge array of decors to use and make that energy slow down.
Wood, earth, metal, fire, and water. These are the five elements that need to be balanced in every room. It may either be there physically or symbolically. An example of the fire would be representations like a scented candle or a warm-colored sofa bed.
You can also use this balance to fill in imbalances in life. If you lack joy and passion, add a bit more fire elements. The idea is to always have this balance between emotions and all five elements. We have an array of items on our online shop to spruce up and create that perfect balance of your elements.
Having great lighting around your home is a must for good feng shui because it revs up the energy in a place but balances this out by being dim, relaxed, and quiet at night. In the mornings, let as much natural light in! Hang a mirror to reflect more light around the room. At night, light up those scented candles and hanging lights you’ve been keeping as living room decors.
If you’re in the mood for some home redecoration, we have great lighting fixtures in our online store for you to choose from. Place those lighting fixtures in and around the house to give brightness to your home. Moreover, try to put in higher wattage light bulbs at the entrance of your home and hallways. These hallways represent your arteries and the brighter these are the cleaner and clear your veins and arteries are.
We all know that plants clear the air for us and are great decors in any home. In feng shui, plants are also placed inside the house because they have their own innate energy.
AllHome has artificial plants that are easy to take care of. Corners are called “poison arrows” in feng shui and you can use these plants to hide those corners.
Last and definitely not least is your bedroom. The most common feng shui term in regards to bed placement is the commanding position. It’s when you place your bed to have a clear vantage point of the door while being aligned to it. This position gives you a sense of control in whatever is approaching in one’s life.
Another thing is to open the windows. Let the natural light and air inside the room freshen up the energy and at night close it to let the energy circulate while you sleep.
These are just some basic tips to open up your home to natural energy. The main idea here is to always have a harmonious flow of energy. Do not go overboard on some of the tips, as that will create imbalances. Remember to check out the AllHome online store for your needs. We are here to help you in rearranging and redecorating to achieve that harmonious flow.
