As we enter the colder seasons, fireplaces take a very important role in spaces that are fortunate to have one, benefiting its residents with this great energy boost.

Back in ancient times, they were used to cook, warm and protect, they were extremely used and well cared for and a pivotal point of family life.

Nowadays, fireplaces are no longer a vital source of life, and many homes don’t even have one anymore, having electric heaters or air conditioning instead.

This strong fire element should always be under supervision and we should never light a fire and leave the house, this energy is able to bring us light, heat and happiness but also it can explode and destroy with great violence.

In Feng Shui practice, the fireplace is like a hole in the house where energy can also escape, so having a door or a protection grid is fundamental, especially with children and pets around in order to keep them safe.

When building from scratch, it’s placement is also important, to actually find the best spot for placing fireplaces and for this a deeper knowledge of the house with a Feng Shui study is recommended.

Soft earthy tones provide a welcoming atmosphere to interior spaces, bringing a sense of calm and serenity.

If you want to create a welcoming and inviting environment, promoting relaxation and reducing stress, this can be a great way to improve the energy of your home.

When using these tones at home or at work, the overall effect will be a feeling of naturalness and connection with the outside world, which generally proves beneficial for quality of life.

When it comes to healing our homes, every room is important, whatever is the attic , the basement or garage. Usually these are the spaces we neglect the most since we don’t get to live in that area and spend very little time in them.

Some Feng Shui practitioners also approach the important relation between symbolism and these environments, even relating to specific areas of life depending on what direction or Bagua corner it is situated.

In this case, if we take a look to the overall energy of the attic, this space represents the future, next generations, plans and projects.

When the energy of this space is blocked, full of clutter and dust, with lots of things and disorganized, it could represent how your goals and aspirations for the future are.

On the other hand, if we use the garage and basement to store too many things, from useless and broken items to inherited pieces, books, and machinery, symbolically, these spaces represent the past and our unconscious, also unsolved problems or pending issues that prevent us from moving forward.

In order to make your home a more harmonious place, pay closer attention to these spaces in your house as it can improve the overall quality of the energy with some effort and care.
