Desert landscape.

Starting this year of the Dragon with a very challenging and unique Feng Shui project in the Sahara Desert, Morocco.

Also the beginning of Fire period 9, which comes with a powerful and unexpected twist for us to absorb.

This incredible experience in the desert, where we are part of the sky just like the stars, planets and comets, where the silence is such that the only noise is our breathing and where the sand is the only path you will see.

This strong Earth element environment with all the sand and the pure fire element of the sun, makes it one of the most powerful but also challenging places on earth to be, where every single living creature struggles to survive in these conditions.

Therefore, making it habitable and suitable for this difficult environment, offering a remote, intimate and luxurious experience will be the ultimate objective of the entire team involved, with the study of feng shui, the mentors and the architects.

Mountain energy.

For the practice of Feng Shui, mountain energy has really a lot to say.
In reading the Luo Pan compass, for example, any direction (cardinal point) is associated with 3 mountains, yin or yang, that help in the deeper interpretation of the study in question.

Also in its form, in China the symbolism that is inherent to mountains determines their auspiciousness for the people who live in that region, which can be very good or on the contrary not at all beneficial, therefore there are several terms and classifications for mountains, such as dragon mountains.

In general,mountain representations are linked to the earth element, meaning support, stability and protection, which is why it is used in the location of buildings and within spaces precisely to attract these beneficial energies to the inhabitants.

Inside the building, the mountain representation should also be applied when placing tables, beds and other seating furniture, positioning them in front of a supporting wall. In order to achieve well-being, success and empowerment we should begin with the basic for human life, that we feel safe.

Storing wood for the winter.

Storing firewood for the fireplace or another source of heat should be ensured at a time when we feel that the air we breathe is colder and a warmer coat is needed.

We can also prepare our spaces, whether a home or a business, by storing firewood, cleaning heaters or air conditioning and making environments more comfortable and welcoming so that we feel protected and warm.

Adding some candles or lights can also enhance the space since we have less light this time of year.

Remember that preparing the homes for winter is a quite a natural task in nature amongst the animals, so the best Feng Shui is also to be aligned with nature and all its transformations.

Adding the wood element to any interior space.

If you consider following Feng Shui guidance, East and Southeast are the directions where this element has the purest form of energy, whether in the form of wood, plants, wicker, bamboo, cork and even representations of landscapes with trees.

For this living room space, we chose to place this large piece of natural wood in the Southeast corner, customized by the incredible @blend_art_pt, representing wealth and blessings for the house and its inhabitants.

However, always keep in mind that balance is key for any environment, and too much wood element could also be overstimulating.
