Feng shui is an ancient Chinese art and science that dates back over 3000 years. The study of feng shui focuses on balancing the energy of any space, including your home, office, garden and more. According to the art of feng shui, having a balanced space will bring its occupants good fortune. For most people, moving into a new home can be a huge step towards a fresh start. Using some common feng shui techniques can help you on your way towards embracing this change.
1. Start with a Clear Space
Houses hold memories, so you will want to make sure that you completely clean out your new home in order to lay down a foundation of fresh energy.
2. Create Your Threshold
The front entrance is one of the most important parts of any feng shui setup, so make sure that your front door and main entry is well kept. Do some research to help you decide on the best color to paint your front door and make sure the area is clear of any dirt and debris.
3. Start with the Kitchen
Once you get inside your new home, the first room you should focus on is the kitchen. Fresh herbs, a bowl of colorful fruit or an aromatic scent can all help to energize your kitchen. Your kitchen should radiate joy and nourishment and these healthy energies will spread throughout your house.
4. Avoid Clutter
A clean, organized space provides a basis for happy living. An organizational system that works for you is a must - every item needs to have its own place – this is a strategy that can help to reduce the long-term clutter in your home. If possible, you should try to eliminate clutter before you even move into your new space.
5. Decorate Your Home with Items You Love
Any decorations that you do not love can quickly become meaningless clutter. Items that you never or rarely use should be the first things to leave since they will reduce the positive energy in your home. Replace these items that you feed positive attractions to.
6. Create Happy Energy in Your Bedroom
Most people spend more time in their bedroom than in the rest of their home, so it is important that your bedroom is filled with positive vibes. Once your bedroom - and the rest of your home - is clutter-free and filled with positive energy, you will be well on your way to owning a balanced, feng shui home.
