If I asked you what words come to mind when you think of your home, what would you say? Would you tell me that it brings you peace every time you walk in the front door? Would you say that the items in your home inspire you and bring you joy every time you look at them? Would you describe your household as organized and calm? A peaceful, calm household that is organized and filled with happiness and laughter is the type of home anyone would love to say they own. It is also the best type of home in which to raise a family. So, how do we ensure that we can describe our homes this way? It’s actually easier than you think, but you must take the first step.
Feng Shui is an ancient art and science of creating balance and harmony in our lives by the effective management of our environment; the benefits can be felt almost immediately. Applying feng shui principles to your home is the best way to make quick, effective changes to the dynamics of your family.
Read the following descriptions and note how you feel as you read each one.
House Number One:
* Unkept lawn with weeds, no flowers
* Front entry with shoes strewn around
* Kitchen with dirty dishes in the sink and crumbs on the counter. Stack of unopened mail and flyers piled high on the counter
* Living room is filled with toys, some lying on the floor, some piled high in the corner of the room.
* Bedroom has mismatched furniture, clothes on the floor or on a chair. Books and magazines stuffed under the bed, bed linen that is old and faded, dresser tops cluttered with gadgets, makeup, jewellery
House Number Two:
* Tidy green lawn with blue and white hydrangeas lining the house. Favourite potted plants on either side of the front door.
* Front entry is clear with shoes neatly placed on a rack and coat hooks for the coats.
* Kitchen is clean, bright and the counter tops are sparkling. Only a few daily used items are displayed and three fresh green plants or herbs rest on the window sill.
* Living Room is tidy and has labelled organizer baskets and tubs for the children’s toys. Special candle sticks bought on a wonderful holiday are displayed on the mantle and two dark green plants sit in different corners of the room
* Bedroom has neutral calming colours with splashes of a favourite decorative colour. Current books and magazines are stored in the matching bedside tables and the fresh, crisp bed linen is made up nicely. The only items on the dresser are a photo of you and your partner, a fresh bouquet of flowers and a jewellery box that holds the items you wear often.
Now, just by reading those two descriptions I’m sure you could feel how different it would be to live in each home. House number two gives a feeling of calm, joy, and beauty whereas house number one gives a feeling of chaos, depression and stagnancy.
