Feng Shui<\/a> can be a hard term to define, but to keep it simple, it is a way to balance out the energy of an area to keep its residents healthy and happy.<\/p>\n

This part-art part-science technique emerged about 3,000 years ago in China and has been passed on through generations since.<\/p>\n

The word Feng\u00a0means the wind, and Shui means water, both of which represent good fortune in Chinese culture.<\/p>\n

Life’s energy surrounds us, it is in everything we see and do\u00a0but is not all positive energy.<\/p>\n

Feng Shui will allow you to get rid of the negative energy and make way for a happier home and happier life.<\/p>\n

By redirecting and balancing out energy forces, you will be surrounded by positive vibes that will change you inside out.<\/p>\n

With these few easy steps, you will see almost instant results in your new old home.<\/p>\n

1. De-clutter<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"de-clutter\"<\/p>\n

This first step shouldn’t come as a surprise\u00a0since most problems start with a messy environment.<\/p>\n

Clutter stands in the way of energy and so creates a negative vibe at home.<\/p>\n

Take some time to rid yourself of anything you don’t need, use, or love.<\/p>\n

It will be time-consuming and tiring, but this is the most important step in creating a harmonised surrounding.<\/p>\n

2. Make way for positive vibes<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"Make<\/p>\n

To complete this step, you should clear your home’s front door of any and all obstacles.<\/p>\n

This includes shoes, coat racks, toys, almost anything that does not please the eye.<\/p>\n

Instead, place a piece of art, charming piece of furniture, or any item that brings a smile to your face.<\/p>\n

The door is the entryway to your Feng Shui home, and so sets the tone for what is to come.<\/p>\n

3. Plant it up<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"Plant<\/p>\n

Plants are true miracle makers, they have a gift of absorbing toxins from the air.<\/p>\n

Not only are they beneficial healthwise, plants are also beautiful to look at.<\/p>\n

Pick a plant that doesn’t require much work but gives off a pleasant vibe.<\/p>\n

Gardening is an excellent therapeutic hobby to pick up too, completing the mind-body-soul trio.<\/p>\n

4. Rearrange your bed<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"Rearrange<\/p>\n

The placement of your bed is a crucial element in achieving\u00a0good Feng Shui.<\/p>\n

You should be able to see the entryway, with the headboard against and wall.<\/p>\n

Be sure not to place the foot of the bed in line with the door, but rather at the furthest diagonal point from it.<\/p>\n

This will also give you a better and happier sleep pattern.<\/p>\n

5. Fix what’s broken<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"Fix<\/p>\n

Simple as this sounds, you’d be surprised at how many broken items lie around your home.<\/p>\n

Broken items are not limited to furniture and appliances, they also include clothes and could even extend to your relationship with family members.<\/p>\n

Mark the tangible objects that need fixing, and every time you are done with one remove the mark.<\/p>\n

You will gain a sense of accomplishment paired with a feeling of euphoria at how far you’ve come.<\/p>\n

6. Live outside the lines<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"Live<\/p>\n

Though most of us are raised to think that lines give the world meaning and rid it of chaos, Feng Shui begs to differ.<\/p>\n

Hanging your paintings straight on a wall creates what is\u00a0known as ‘Poison Arrow’.<\/p>\n

The sharp aggressive edges tend to make space feel firm and uncomfortable.<\/p>\n

Opt for free-flowing forms instead and let the positive energy flow through.<\/p>\n

7. Water cures all evils<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"Water<\/p>\n

In Feng Shui, water is associated with wealth, this is why fountains are a popular addition.<\/p>\n

When used indoors, they have the ability of diffusing negative ions, helping your home gain a more positive energy flow.<\/p>\n

The best position for a water fountain is facing the entryway to let the wealth flow in.<\/p>\n

Keep it away from bedrooms, as it tends to bring worry and sorrow when placed there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
