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.

3 places where you shouldn’t place your bed according to Feng Shui:

▫️With the head or feet pointing directly at the door;

▫️If you have the bed against a wall, either on the sides or headboard, make sure it is not leaning against a bathroom, especially if there are pipes running on that wall;

▫️Sleeping under exposed beams is not good feng shui, if it is parallel to the bed it will be better.

Try following these recommendations and you will see your bedroom energy and even your sleep improve.

Cardinal points and Feng Shui.

One of the most ancient classical Feng Shui methods, is based on the 4 cardinal points (North, South, East, West) and inter cardinals ( Northwest, Northeast, Southwest and Southeast).

A measurement with the compass ( known as Luo Pan) is made, and lining up the North direction will give the exact position of the space.

Once the consultant has this information, a detailed study begins, linking all this information to the plant of the space, to the inhabitants, to the existing energy (Chi), etc.

Since Winter is here, and it’s also associated to the North direction, no better time to look at this part of the space ( home or business), that relates directly with our life paths and analyze how energy is flowing.

How light enters your home?

One great aspect of Feng Shui studies is how light and energy(Chi) enters in each space, especially natural light that comes from outside.

When a careful mapping of the space and its directions is made, and depending on which side of the globe is located, we are able to know exactly the quality and quantity of light that we have in certain rooms.

For example, if a living room is facing South direction in Portugal, surely it will have light and warmth all day, from sunrise until the sun goes down.

On the other hand, if this same space is facing North, then it will probably be dark and cold with lack of light.

At East direction, we can benefit from the sunrise light so generally, good for bedrooms.

At West direction we can watch the sunset, so living room spaces are also great here.

These are all fundamental aspects of any space and sometimes discarded, though today, we even have computer programs that can tell us exactly this information.
