Bringing harmony to your home with a Green Christmas.

For Feng Shui practice, Christmas is a western tradition, and although it’s not a Chinese custom, this yang energy vibe brings light and color to our homes all over the world.

So, let’s seize this opportunity to rethink our own Christmas and try to achieve a greener environment at home:

  • Welcoming greenery at our homes is already a trend, but at this time of the year we can mix with seasonal plants and leaves that also have a wonderful fragrance, like eucalyptus, laurel, holly and mistletoe;
  • Using Led lighting is a great option for saving energy, as lights are on much more time this season;
  • Gift wrapping options are so many, try to add your personalized finish with old wrapping paper, newspapers, natural strings, ribbons, foliage,etc;
  • Choose pieces not just for Christmas, look beyond this season and opt for items that you can use all year long;
  • Try to make sustainable choices as much as possible, this time of the year is when waste will reach its annual pick, consider to shop locally and responsibly, looking for ecological items that can be recycled and re- purposed;
  • Finally, make your home warm and cosy for you and your loved ones, snuggling up under soft blankets such as wool, for these utilizes a renewable source.

How to enhance the energy in your closet space?

Closet spaces usually emerge from a part of the bedroom or even from an entire and exclusive room for it.

Many people dream of having a space like this, entirely dedicated to clothing with custom made partitions, for coats, shoes, accessories, etc.

So, in order to bring this space a beneficial energy through Feng Shui practice, you can make some small but effective changes such as:

  • Depending on the size of your closet, the first thing would be sorting all of your clothes ( to keep, to donate or even to sell, if you are thinking about throwing away, don’t send it to common trash, there are several places that can use them or recycle);
  • Always try to keep some space inside drawers and your closet, everything that’s too much filled is blocking energy in general;
  • Good lighting is crucial, especially in this space where natural light can be difficult to achieve;
  • Keep in mind that too many decisions in the morning can be challenging, so relieve some of that morning stress by keeping your clothes in order and easy to choose;
  • Being mostly a yin space , incorporate soft tons and little decor, a soft and natural rug can be more than enough;
  • Finally, take this task seriously and schedule a day to finish, sometimes we tend to postpone this space more than others because of the amount of clothes, so rethink about your consumerism habits.

Feng Shui and modern living.

As this ancient Chinese art becomes older, with thousands of years, naturally all the societies changed and so all the homes around the world.

So when practicing Feng Shui, even after learning all its valuable teachings, we should be able to recognize that some of these informations have to be integrated to the present time.

Otherwise, this great way of living could be impossible to practice, especially in western countries where the culture is so different from the eastern side of the world.

Nevertheless, we can certainly use Feng Shui practice for modern ways of living, by adding layers of this ancient knowledge and adapting our homes to the present century.

Open kitchen concepts and wide open spaces for example, are a great tendency for contemporary homes, as obstacles and walls are tending to disappear, this could be a great way for energy to spread more freely and with fluidity.
