For Feng Shui practice, Christmas is a western tradition, and although it’s not a Chinese custom, this yang energy vibe brings light and color to our homes all over the world.
So, let’s seize this opportunity to rethink our own Christmas and try to achieve a greener environment at home:
- Welcoming greenery at our homes is already a trend, but at this time of the year we can mix with seasonal plants and leaves that also have a wonderful fragrance, like eucalyptus, laurel, holly and mistletoe;
- Using Led lighting is a great option for saving energy, as lights are on much more time this season;
- Gift wrapping options are so many, try to add your personalized finish with old wrapping paper, newspapers, natural strings, ribbons, foliage,etc;
- Choose pieces not just for Christmas, look beyond this season and opt for items that you can use all year long;
- Try to make sustainable choices as much as possible, this time of the year is when waste will reach its annual pick, consider to shop locally and responsibly, looking for ecological items that can be recycled and re- purposed;
- Finally, make your home warm and cosy for you and your loved ones, snuggling up under soft blankets such as wool, for these utilizes a renewable source.
