Three general rules for living well at home
Maybe you are convinced that you have arranged everything right but something in thegeneral harmony of the house it does not work, as if the energy did not flow, it did not flow pleasantly. An excellent advice could be to approach Feng Shui, a set of rules that belong to theancient wisdom of Chinese geomantics and that help man to integrate in the best way with regard to the environment in which he lives, directions and external arrangements. The discipline dates back to about 4000 years ago and literally means “wind and water” in reference to the natural forces with which we interact every day.
There environment design it never remains casual but concerns the dance between the 5 main elements (fire, metal, wood and water) and the two fundamental energies, a Yin, with a receptive character and a Yang, exquisitely active. These are not antagonistic but complementary dual forces. The tool for reading space is called Bagua, a compass that reveals forces in relation to the plan of the house or office.
Let’s see together 3 basic rules for living well at home according to Feng Shui.
Cleaning
Important clean the windows and try to remove energy obstacles from entrances or sofas or any chairs. It is also very important to energetically clean the spaces too with incense or sage or Palo Santo. Always try to clean the spaces and corners of the house well and dedicate yourself to domestic cleaning of windows, floors, toilets and areas where you cook.
Plants
Plants bring vital energy into the home and harmonize the whole environment. Choose two or three that act as nourishing and protective energies, according to your tastes and taking into consideration how damp the house is or not and which areas are exposed to sunlight. Plants bring into your home health and freshness. It is also an excellent idea to purify the spaces with sage or Palo Santo.
Gratitude
Sounds strange but the house would do thanked as if it were our body who day after day carries out his duties voluntarily and involuntarily. At the house one should speak from the heart, thank it, celebrate it. Stay in one state of gratitude towards one’s home allows you to feel it as a real refuge only ours.
Feng Shui in the kitchen
The kitchen remains a fundamental space also for “transformation“As it is the place where the ingredients are added,” magic “and recipes full of affection and care are made. Let’s not forget that we are the food we eat and the emotional disposition proves to be a fundamental factor both during preparation and during consumption. If you need to repaint, great colors for the kitchen they are white, green, yellow, the colors of the earth and all shades of blue. You should make sure to take advantage of natural light or possibly put strategic light points, not excessive, but delicate and functional.
Second rule: try to get rid of appliances that don’t work well; keeping non-functional or obsolete objects is not convenient, it slows down the general energy and does not help to maintain cleanliness. The cutlery should also be well sharpened and in good condition. Avoid keeping scarred or fragile glasses or plates.
Feng Shui in the bedroom
The bedroom corresponds to that space which by definition would go left without unnecessary items. Get rid of the dirt or boxes from under the bed, get rid of everything you don’t need for sleep. You have to accomplish one real work of decluttering, cleaning and removing objects of energy hindrance. Also try not to accumulate dirty clothes and laundry.
Another essential indication: away the mirrors from the bedroom. Mirrors stimulate energy and do not support or promote general relaxation, so they should be avoided in the place where you rest deeply. The mirrors they reflect the energy we emanate and they project it in all directions all night while we rest. This is an unfortunate energetic “rebound” for a good sleep.
The last rule concerns the position of the bed a fundamental aspect remains: it should not be placed either with the feet or with the headboard in front of the door or even under a window (from this point of view also the ancient wisdom of the ancestors and grandparents meets the Eastern wisdom as it affirms always not to find yourself with your feet towards the door). Better to choose it with one wooden structure and choose to place it in the corner opposite the entrance with the head adhering to the wall and oriented to the east.
Feng Shui in the living room
The position to choose well corresponds to that of the sofa. It should be placed in the opposite corner with respect to the window and the door and placed right next to the wall, to protect the shoulders of those who are seated. In the living room the energies of the guests and blend with those of the homeowners, so this is an area that needs to be kept really clean.
Second rule for a livable living room: the color of the walls it must give relaxation and harmony. Opt for a white (gives a sense of confidence and calm) or a blue with its shades (as long as the spaces are not very small). Try to decorate the walls with paintings that you like, without too stylized or geometric designs, better something that evokes nature. The frames should be neutral and the paintings – preferably of similar size – should be arranged in correspondence with your view.
