Indoor gardens and Feng Shui.

For some Feng Shui experts, the plan of the house or building should be square or rectangular, mainly because in this way all 8 directions, plus the center, are represented in the 9 squares of the Ba Gua.

Therefore, having an indoor garden in any space (open to the sky), it can influence the energy of the space sector and consequently of its inhabitants.

However, many times it is possible to improve this situation uniting Architecture and Feng Shui, placing for example healthy and low maintenance plants, such as cacti, which turn out to be a great way to boost energy in this space.

Since Feng Shui practice tells us that it is not good luck to have Cacti indoors, then this is a good place to admire them without danger.

Decluttering kids bedrooms.

For most of Feng Shui experts, decluttering is also part of the practice, in a sense that, for energy to flow correctly, we should first create space around us in our homes.

Kids bedrooms are one of the most common rooms where clutter can take over the place, so here’s a few simple ways to improve the energy in their space, especially now that they are back to school:

▫️ Organize the past year school material, sorting out first what’s still in good shape to reuse and avoid keeping too much paper work from previous years;
▫️Try to create different areas for study, play and sleep;
▫️If it is a shared bedroom, it might be a good idea keeping the symmetry and each one having its own area;
▫️Sell or donate to those who might need all the clothes that no longer fit, school material and toys that are still proper;
▫️Finally, keep in mind that too much clutter not only is in the way of a good energy flow, but also accumulates lots of dust that can eventually originate respiratory issues, harming health in general.

Welcoming the Autumn season

In Feng Shui practice, the beginning of the Autumn season can be characterized by a Metal element energy.

Meaning that this natural movement is about contraction, from outside to inside.

As nature slowly undresses herself from all the leafs and fruits, we can also work in perfect tune and do exactly the same.

If we connect with nature’s rhythms, our own life flow can be certainly more harmonious without feeling drained or disoriented.

This is probably one of the best times in the whole year, to look inside the closet, the home, the habits, for everything that no longer serves our well being, then let go and allow ourselves to really enjoy life with much more energy.

The North direction in Feng Shui practice.

In general, for Feng Shui scholars, the North direction is related to Water element and is also associated with certain areas of life, such as: career, clear and defined path, journey, good ability to communicate internally and externally, etc.

So once you find the North side of your office or home, observe how energy flows in this area and try to stimulate it placing a water element object, such as art using black and dark blue colors, pictures of water, materials such as mirrors, glass, aquariums and all that can relate to water, this could enhance luck and opportunity in your career.

The placement of fountains, particularly, should be carefully thought with a Feng Shui specialist, making sure this strong element is definitely bringing beneficial energy and not the opposite.
