Simple Feng Shui Tips That Will Make Your Life Better

Feng shui, which translates as "wind and water," is an ancient Chinese art of object placement and energy flow in the home. According to the theory, energy currents, known as chi, flow through your home. Unblocking the flow of chi and channeling it the right way, says the tradition, can improve just about everything in your world: your health, your relationships, even your bank balance! One thing's sure: a good feng shui arrangement will energize your space and you.
An important first step toward good feng shui is getting rid of clutter, which creates obstructions that dramatically slow the flow of chi-energy through your home. You can move things around all you want according to feng shui principles, but nothing will work if you have clutter obstructing the flow of chi.
Here are some tips to get you started:
In Your Kitchen
Your kitchen nurtures your family by providing nourishment-so it's a very important place in feng shui.
--Expired foods create negative energies-toss them.
--Keep counter tops free of clutter, papers and mail in particular.
In Your Home Office
• Sit facing your door so you don't get surprised from behind.
• Sit with a solid wall behind you-you'll feel secure and supported.
• Put a round crystal on the southwest corner of your desk; it will promote good work relationships.
• A small plant placed in the southeast corner of the room will help summon income and foster personal growth.
• Above all, get rid of those piles of papers and files-they are serious chi-stoppers
Using Aromatherapy
• Spray lemon, eucalyptus, or rosemary in your space after an illness.
• After an argument, spray lavender or geranium in the room.
• To help you sleep, mix lavender with clean, fresh water in a spray bottle, and spray your bedroom with the mixture each night before you go to bed.
Feng shui is all about making some space in your life for new possibilities and opportunities. So to get started, clear your clutter and get organized!
