Feng Shui is beginning to become a fashion in decoration, but it really is much more than that, Feng Shui is a lifestyle, a way of thinking and also of feeling. Currently it is beginning to be applied in many homes in our society thanks to the fact that people have begun to realize all the benefits that it brings them not only at home, but also in their lives and inside.
Not long ago I met a person who was not interested in Feng Shui at all, he said that all this was nonsense for people who were too bored, but some time later, he began to have bad spells of stress and anxiety, then suddenly he started to take an interest in this art and science of organizing space to maximize the positive energy of the home and of oneself. At the time, we saw each other again and he told me how well he was and how much he had managed to improve in his interior and in his home thanks to Feng Shui.
Do you also want to put order in your life? Because if so, you should start by putting it in your home, and then gradually move to putting it inside yourself, your emotions and your way of thinking. Over time, and after having changed your decorating style and thinking, you will see how things will start to flow positively inside your house and inside your heart.
Feng Shui has its origin in ancient China and as I have mentioned in previous lines it is becoming increasingly popular in Western culture. Actually practicing Feng Shui successfully is not as simple as many people would have you believe, because the basis of Feng Shi requires discipline, perseverance and willpower to achieve positive changes in your life.
Essential rules for Feng Shui at home
I want to start this first part of the article, talking to you about some important rules that you should keep in mind throughout your home so that you can start to have positive energy in your house and that it enters from the front door, remember that the most important thing is that everything always It is tidy, that there are no obstacles and that you do not have anything broken in your decoration or dead plants or in poor condition!
Say goodbye to the clutter of all your rooms
To have Feng Shui at home it is essential that you can have each room orderly and balanced. The disorder in the home will interrupt the flow of positive energy, and even your thinking will be disordered so you will be having bad energies that you will have to eliminate immediately.
Being able to have a home where all the rooms are neat and well organized will make it easier for you to have and enjoy sensations of well-being, calm and above all, physical and mental relaxation. If something breaks in any of your rooms you will have to discard it quickly since broken things bring unhappy memories and therefore bad energy.
Keep your rest area separate from work
It is very important that you have a work area totally separate from your rest areas in your home. I am not referring only to the bedroom, but also to any rest room such as the living room or the living room. If you have to work at home, dedicate a room exclusively to it.
If you try to mix both areas you will only get stressed and that getting the decoration is impossible. Can you imagine trying to sleep with all the papers that you have to have finished the next day? You would only have worrying thoughts and could not really rest. So do not hesitate to remove everything that has to do with the work of the environment and dedicate a different stay only to it, you will not regret it.
Have the furniture well arranged
Having the furniture well placed is also essential so that it does not interfere with the free passage of the rooms, in addition, the positive energies will have to flow freely so remember not to have any furniture that could hinder your passage. Likewise, it is important that the seats have to be placed so that people's backs are against the wall and they can see the entire room without problems.
Have mirrors in the rooms you want
Mirrors are essential accessories in Feng Shui decoration because in addition to providing more light and spaciousness to rooms, they are special to reflect positive energy and, if that were not enough, double its power! In addition, mirrors work by preventing the flow of negative energy from staying around the house, so I strongly advise you to have mirrors in your home in as many rooms as you want.
But you must take into account a very important aspect and that is that it is not recommended to never place a mirror in front of the door and much less in front of the front door to the home so that good energy does not escape where it does not correspond.
You fix things in the house that go wrong
Nobody likes to have things in the house that are damaged or broken, but sometimes due to lack of time or even lack of desire it can be postponed for days and even weeks until it is finally fixed. But both stairs and windows that are broken or broken will not work well in Feng Shui because they will restrict the flow of positive energy at home, causing negative energy to stagnate in your home and begin to affect you too much.
For this reason, repairs should always be carried out as quickly as possible so that the positive energies in your home flow again and influence you again.
Add plants and flowers
We all know that plants and flowers are necessary in people's lives, at least in all those people who like nature and that the air in their home is renewed, since plants even if they are still and we believe that They only decorate our home, the truth is that as long as the plant is healthy, it will be doing a lot for us, it will be renewing the air we breathe every day.
For this I advise you to decorate your home with fresh flowers and stay away from all those that are artificial and that can be filled with dust. The plants and flowers that are alive and that you care about keeping healthy are the ones that will be able to attract positive energy to your home and to the interior of you.
But you must remember that those flowers or plants that may have spikes or thorns should be avoided, because everything that is pointed in Feng Shui should be avoided at all costs.
Add fruit to your stays
As with plants and flowers, you should forget about plastic fruits for decoration and opt for a very beautiful fruit plate, and not only can you place it in the kitchen, you can place it in your bedroom to promote the sexual health of the woman. partner. Also, if you place oranges and lemons in your home, you will also be attracting good luck. And you will have fruit on hand whenever you want!
A water fountain
Perhaps installing a water fountain in your home is somewhat complicated, but it is totally necessary for there to be adequate Feng Shui in your home. Water flows and fills us with positive energies, in addition, water helps to create feelings of relaxation and harmony.
You can look at small decorative fountains that usually go with integrated water pumps and have great and very relaxing designs, you would only have to choose the one that best matches your home and your lifestyle. It does not matter that it is a very small fountain, what matters is that it helps you feel the good energy of the flowing water.
Colors in Feng Shui
Colors in Feng Shui have a great meaning and that is that colors, in addition to influencing people's mood, also mean different things that must be taken into account in order to choose the right colors at home and in each room. . For example in Feng Shui el green symbolizes nature, life and hope, making it an excellent color for any Feng Shui home.
Another example would be yellow, a color that represents power, or red, which is a lucky color. But the colors in soft tones or pastel tones are also important, since they are relaxing colors that are used, especially, in rest rooms.
Avoid corners in your home
It is also essential to avoid any type of lines with points or corners in the furniture, this will only emit negative energies, so you always have to opt for roundness in everything that has to do with the Feng Shui decoration in your home. Whenever you have the opportunity, try not to make any furniture in your home have corners; no bedside tables, no beds, no chairs, no tables ... nothing.
By avoiding tips and corners in your home, you will be able to find calm and relaxation in your home, something totally necessary and essential for a serene life.
Order and cleaning
Feng Shui does not tolerate disorder or dirt because in addition to not being practical or healthy for you, it will only attract negative energies in your life. For this reason you will have to have some cleaning and order routines in your home to avoid chaos, in this way you will be able to notice how you feel better every day and how the good energies begin to flow freely through every corner of your house.
Less is more
Although the maxim of "less is more" is very given in the decorative style of minimalism, in Feng Shui and in its decoration it must also be very present.
Currently the society in which we live is always oriented towards excessive consumerism, buying without necessities, wanting to have just to have more. This, in addition to contributing negative energies to your life, will not help you to find calm, peace and serenity in your life, rather the opposite!
New technologies make us want to have all the latest, we want the latest brand pants, that in home decoration we do not lack the best lamp on the market. This is absurd. In Feng Shui decoration you have to take into account those things that are really functional for you and for your daily life, and the rest ... simply discard it from your options.
Get rid of what you don't use
Following the previous point, it should also be noted that Feng Shui is committed to not having anything at home that does not serve you. For example, if you have something broken, in poor condition or that you have not used for at least a year, you should throw it away or give it to someone who can really use what you do not use.
Having broken things at home will give you bad energy, and the things that you do not use will have stagnant energy that will not do you any good. For this reason it is so important that the things you have at home are really necessary objects for each of the rooms in your home, that you use every day and that also provide you with the physical and mental well-being that you need so much.
These are the most basic and important rules that you must follow in order to start creating a home that follows the guidelines of Feng Shui, managing to find a more harmonious and prosperous environment in your home. As if that were not enough, you will realize that it will begin to help you organize your life in such a way that well-being and tranquility will reign in your home, as it is already helping millions of people on our planet.
Although there is still much to learn about Feng Shui, and more if you want that in addition to having it in your home it is also present in your lifestyle, at least here you can find some initial, basic and very important steps to start making a difference in your home and your life.
