Did you know that every time you declutter, redecorate, remodel, or just add another piece of furniture or art you are changing the energy of your home, which will help you achieve your goals and live your best life?
Feng Shui, the ancient Chinese art of arranging your environment, is meant to bring your life peace and harmony. To do this your environment needs to bring you joy, since in Feng Shui your environment reflects your consciousness.
In Feng Shui, “Ch’i”, or “Qi” is a vital life force or energy that powers all living things. The goal of Feng Shui is to harness Ch’i to improve life.
Good Ch’i is meant to nourish you, while negative Ch’i, which blocks the energy, can drain you. Feng Shui is all about adjusting your environment, by correcting, enhancing, or changing items, colors, shapes based on the Feng Shui principles, and the five elements. These elements are water, wood, fire, earth, and metal. You can improve the Ch’i flow by adding, moving, or combining these elements, based on each of the nine Bagua areas.
Each time we make a change in our home, my husband and I say we're “Moving the Ch’i.” We say this when we clean the garage, empty closets, buy new art, a piece of furniture or undertake a big remodel. My clients say they feel an energy shift, and it’s evident in their before and after pictures.
When we remodeled our kitchen, residing in the Love and Marriage area, from green to rich wood tones and red tiles we noticed a shift in romance.
When we remodeled our bathroom in the Health, Family and Friend's area from burgundy and pink to soft greens, wood, and florals we noticed an improvement in our health.
Our daughter just redecorated our grandkid’s bedroom in the Knowledge and Self Cultivation area from overly cluttered to clean, organized, attractive bedding, beds and furniture. They both now are calmer and love to lay in their new beds and read.
Little changes can make a big difference. A client has a blank wall in her Fame and Reputation area. I can’t wait to see how adding a large piece of red tone, celebration, upward movement, or fame art will change the Ch’i of the room and positively affect her life.
We are about to replace our roof with a new one. I can't wait to see what affect that will have. We're excited at the prospect.
