Feng Sui in Your New Home

   How a Few Simple Techniques Help Create Harmony and Balance

You just moved into your dream home and you want to create a calm, positive environment with good energy in your new surroundings. You’ve heard about feng shui, but what is it really?

Quite simply, feng shui is a Chinese philosophical system of harmonizing everyone with the surrounding environment. The term literally translates as “wind-water” in English. The feng shui practice discusses architecture in metaphoric terms of “invisible forces” that bind the universe, earth, and humanity together. Historically, it was widely used to orient buildings.

Getting started with feng shui for your house can be easy when you start with the basics.

 

Clear Out Your Clutter by getting rid of everything you do not love in your house. This should be simple since you just moved and minimized the items of no importance. Clutter clearing is should NOT be time-consuming process but should feel instinctual and be therapeutic.  This clearing out should help you lighten the load.

 

Have Good Quality Air and Good Quality Light in your house.

These two elements are essential for good feng shui energy (called Chi) in your home. Open the windows often, introduce feng shui air-purifying plants or use an air-purifier. Allow as much natural light as possible into your home, and consider using full-spectrum lights.

 

Define the Bagua, or the feng shui energy map of your house, by using one of the two main feng shui methods – the classical school bagua or the BTB grid. Once you define the bagua, you will know which areas of your home are connected to specific areas of your life. For example, in traditional feng shui, the Southeast feng shui area of your home is connected to the flow of money energy in your life.
