Below are some simple, actionable tips on how to incorporate feng shui into your home. Feng Shui is not about moving furniture or just changing paint colors, it’s about using your home as a canvas and allowing it to evolve and transform with you.
1. Keep your house clutter-free. External clutter is internal clutter on display. By clearing out and cleaning up your space an energetic anchor will be lifted. And in its place clarity and more efficiency and you will feel lighter and less frazzled.
2. Use your front door. The front door is critical in feng shui because it is the main portal through which the energy enters your home. Make sure the area is free of clutter, well lit and most of all make sure you use it every day.
3. Balance the five elements. The five elements, earth, wood, fire, water, and metal can be present in your home either physically, symbolically in the shape, or the color. Look closely at the literal and symbolic ways the five elements show up in your home. An imbalance of the elements can mean an imbalance in your emotions. Strike a balance between all five in each room.
4. Balance the yin and yang energy. Feng shui is all about harmony so consider balancing décor materials so that one single material or color doesn’t overpower the room. By opting for a variety of textures and finishes this can be accomplished.
5. Surround yourself with gratitude. Count your blessings each day. Remembering the hard times you have survived will help you realize how far you have come. Establish a daily practice of reminding yourself of the gifts, grace, benefits, and good things you enjoy. Your environment influences your experience so make it a grateful one.
