As mentioned in several articles, for Feng Shui practice, the kitchen is very important for the overall energy that circulates inside our homes.

So the refrigerator is also something we should pay attention, as an appliance used to cool food, this process presents water element, as food in general presents metal element (by its components) which when combined stimulate each other and could increase good wealth.

For achieving the best energy, the most important aspect to consider is the expiration date or when you notice that the outlook of the food is getting old, with smells, molds and fungi, all loaded with unbeneficial energy.

Even when you forget or can’t avoid because of having other inhabitants in the house, remember to make a conscious effort by:
– Not to keep food out of date;
– Arrange the food in the fridge so that you can see and access it easily;
– Avoid having it full, not only consumes more power but you will problaby end up having more waste;
– Clean it regularly with natural ingredients, such as vinegar and baking soda to eliminate odors;
– Try to avoid the most, alcoholic drinks, processed foods, high fat foods and prefer genuine and organic food, promoting your health is also fundamental for achieving wealth itself.

According to the practice of Feng Shui, we can use images to increase energy in a certain corner or direction of our home or business.

Of course, a plant or a light can have a stronger impact, but still, images also influence human brains, as art-loving beings.

Once we decide where and what image to exhibit, details such as size, material, colors and especially what it represents are fundamental to a balanced and beneficial environment.

It’s best to avoid paintings, pictures, or any other images that show or represent violence, agression, sadness or any negative impression.

Try to incorporate beautiful art, a natural landscape, people or animals in harmony, bringing a pleasant and relaxed feeling of contemplation inside your space, this way you will be inviting a good Feng Shui.

The essence of a good Feng Shui is always related to a positive energy flow.

Once we understand how energy circulates and moves around the space, we are able to apply some principles concerning the layout and the placement of furniture.

So generally, in order to achieve a more balanced environment in your living room, try following these recommendations: 

– Place your sofa with a solid wall behind your back, this way you will be getting support and protection;

– If that’s not possible, you can place a strong piece of furniture behind the sofa for improving a bit the back support;

– Always try to have a good visibility to the door, watching clearly as people enter this space;

– Avoid sitting with your back to a door or window, this might cause situations of being caught off guard and exposed to air blasts;

– A more open living room with less obstacles, brings a positive sense of space and luminosity;

– Place your furniture with special attention to the circulation so that the energy flows without haste as if to meander the space;

– Finally, watch closely if where you are seated, has something sharped pointing at you and keep away from this harmful energy.
