Spring is just outside.

Springtime and just like the flowers, we couldn’t wait to get outside again.

Outdoor spaces and gardens are also very important for Feng Shui practice, even though people often care more about the house itself.

All transformations can be observed in life, inside or outside our spaces, but the strength of the energy of the sun is more powerful than the light of a lamp.

So as fire, earth, metal, water and tree elements are always around us, we should look for them also outside and benefit from this source of energy in a more natural state.

If you have the chance of having an outdoor space, even if it’s small, don’t discard this opportunity
to find a greater balance between nature and ourselves.

Now it’s time to enjoy what this corner can do for you with these small tips:

  • A table with chairs is great to enjoy outside for meals, reading or even working;
  • A sunny area, but with some shadow so that doesn’t become too hot;
  • A rest area with comfortable pillows and seating;
  • Plants, a vegetable garden that could be grown even in pots, vertical gardens in walls are also a great solution for those who have lack of space;
  • Finally, prefer natural and recycled materials as much as possible having a more sustainable and respectful attitude towards the environment.

Bathrooms and Feng Shui.

Bathrooms could be quite challenging in terms of Feng Shui, especially if they are located right at the center of the home, which is very common in most apartments.

The water element is obviously the predominant energy inside bathrooms, meaning that in here water dominates the entire space, nevertheless, balancing with the other elements is essential for a more harmonious environment.

Generally, the best directions to place a bathroom are North, East and Southeast but having a professional Feng Shui guidance could accurate the best location.

In terms of decor, we should try not to use too many objects, prefer a simple, clean and spa sensation where we can feel relaxed and reinvigorated.

One of the most common problems bathrooms have are dripping taps, clogged pipes, infiltrations and water waste. This issues should be fixed rapidly because water’s movement, or lack of it, may replicate the flow of energy in our lives.

Once you achieve a flowing energy in this space, you might experience water energy guiding you with fluidity and wisdom as its natural ability.

Home collections and Feng Shui .

Collections used to be considered as an important part of a home, ultimately reflected how prosperous a family was, from paintings to sculptures, rugs and pottery, books, stamps, tea cups, cutlery, home textiles and so much more.

Most of us live in such a different way nowadays, but how do we care about our collections is a great indicator whether they are just clutter or not, so if your collections are closed and forgotten in some storage then maybe this stagnant energy isn’t bringing anything good to your home.

By other hand, if they are properly exposed in some part of a room where you and others can admire them, this turns out to be a great energy enhancer and will surely make you feel great about it.

Happy New Chinese Year!🐯🎊

Today, February 1, we welcome the Water Tiger Year that only happens once in each 60 years.

According to Feng Shui, each year is characterized by a different animal and its character will consequently influence the energetic quality of the year.

Another important aspect is the compatibility between the animal of the year and our own animal in Chinese astrology.

By saying this, and generally speaking, the best “friends” with the Tiger are the Horse and the Dog, a good relationship with the Rooster and the Pig , feasible relationship with Rat, Tiger, Dragon and Goat.
More challenging relationship with Buffalo, Rabbit, Serpent and Monkey.

Nevertheless, instead of having so many expectations on what this new year could bring, we should also think about what we could bring ourselves that can really shift our lives for the better…this year is definitely a good year to be bold and brave and taking action with transparency and fluidity.
