The dining room is the more social area inside a home, it’s where we gather with friends and family for long conversations and great meals.

With new modern habits of eating badly and in a rush, this space has lost a bit its importance and sometimes it’s even forgotten.

Many times we prefer the kitchen table or even the couch instead of using this fundamental space of our home.

For a more inviting atmosphere in your dining room, here’s just a few simple details that could make a difference:

🔹Avoid dark colors since they suppress appetite and give preference to softer tones;
🔹Use lower candles so that they don’t get in the way and prevent people from not seeing each other properly;
🔹 Choose solid chairs with backrest and if possible with armrests, representing the protective form of the Turtle-Tiger-Dragon;
🔹Avoid placing your guests with a window or a door behind, a solid wall and view of the door is preferable;
🔹Finally, never serve meals and drinks in chipped crockery, check this detail and free yourself from all the porcelain and glass that are no longer in proper conditions.

The entrance hall and hallways are often forgotten spaces, as we don’t spend much time there, it’s usually just a crossing point.

Nevertheless, these spaces are able to bring energy to the other rooms, with our own energy and with a natural flow that comes from the exterior.

So, if the present energy in these areas are too fast or too slow, it might have an influence in the dynamic of its inhabitants and the other parts of the home or workspace.

For example, the main entrance often leads us to a hallway that sometimes have a bathroom right in front, the energy that enters your entry door may disappear directly because of this situation.

If you cannot move this bathroom to another place, you can try to harmonize this by separating these two areas with some kind of barrier, a folding screen or a curtain could help and also maintaining this door closed.

As we observe how energy moves and enters our spaces, it will become easier to apply Feng Shui recommendations and watch how the vibrations within all of our divisions improve when we work on these sometimes overlooked areas.

◽️- Walk through your kitchen, open your arms and walk bigger steps, do you have space for that and if not what’s blocking your way?

◽️- If you are having problems with pipes or taps try to solve them as soon as possible;

◽️- Pay attention to food that already expired, inside the pantry or fridge;

◽️- Before preparing your meals make sure there’s enough space above the countertops;

◽️- Check also your fire elements like the lights and the stove, they should be functioning well with full potencial;

◽️- Finally, declutter and clean this important space of your home, prefering natural or homemade cleaning products like vinegar and lemon to bring fresh and clean air.

The places we inhabit are often considered as an extension of our mind, body and soul.

There are so many clues that show exactly the essence of the inhabitants, it can go from more messy or more tidy, very well organized or chaotic, super hi-tech and modern, or classic and old fashion, and so many others…

The Universe is filled with countless possibilities and these types of situations can occur in any home, wether a more humble or a more luxurious home, in East or West of the planet.

No matter the style or size, by practicing valuable tools like Feng Shui in our homes, we can be able to shift the energy anytime and by doing this, our own self will be changing to a new transformation, keeping in mind that only depends on ourselves the search of wellness.
