Could Feng Shui Help Give You Interior Decorating Inspiration?
Our home’s energy can influence our lives a lot more than we realize. The expression ‘a tidy house is a tidy mind’ contains more than a kernel of truth in it and, as we have seen through such home décor inspirations as the Danish hygge style and Marie Kondo, decluttering can make us feel better. But, we can do more than just remove items we no longer enjoy or find useful. There are other spiritual ways in which we can open up more positive energy flows throughout our homes. One of these is through feng shui.
Feng shui is the ancient Chinese art of harmonizing with your direct environment. This refers to helping energy flow better through your home with some basic interior design. The first step of feng shui is what you feel needs changing about your home – is the garage too cluttered? Do you not want to spend time in a certain room? Prioritizing these can help the energy flow better, rather than focusing on rooms you spend a lot of enjoyable time in.
Entrance
The first step is to sort out the front door – this is where energy enters and can escapes. The staircase’s placement in relation to the front door is also important. Does it block energy, or does it allow it to circulate? Consider using mirrors and plants to help steward positive energy throughout the rest of the house. Having a lot of clutter throughout could result in energy being blocked from spreading through the whole home.
Bathroom
The bathroom is usually the easiest place to implement changes. Keep the door closed and the toilet lid down – the water here signifies wealth and not doing this could reflect wealth being flushed away. Your desk should never be in line with your door in your office or lounge, and you should never have your back to the door or else you will end up being blindsided in business and professional matters.
Many people use lucky symbols to help promote healthy energy. Traditional Chinese dragons, buddhas, bamboo, and cats can help this. Mirrors can also help circulate positive energy and bounce back negative energy, while water features and plants can generate positive energy and harmonize you with the natural world.
Feng Shui isn’t the only way we can use spiritual methods to improve our energy flow at home. Tarot readings can also help promote a good spirit and clear away any negativity that may be hanging over you and your home. A tarot reading can focus on the issues that you may have and how they can be dealt with, helping to focus the mind. They can help make your mind up about a decision or could inspire positive changes that go hand in hand with ensuring your life and home are decluttered.
Energy and spirit organization and channeling are becoming increasingly popular in our current chaotic world. Feng shui is one way in which we can follow simple teachings in order to make our lives more positive and declutter some of the negativity. Taking a spiritual approach to making your home a better place could help give you a new perspective on life.
