Finding balance with Nature.

Even when we are lucky to have a well balanced home, in terms of energy flow and with several Feng Shui practices, we should also pay attention to how much time we spend on it, especially at this challenging moment we are all facing.

Nature is our best helper in terms of balancing our inner energy, spending time outside can reboot our body and mind, something that sometimes not even our homes are able to give us, even if they are incredibly awesome.

Children are also very affected by this situation, spending too much time at home playing with electronic devices and consequently having social and behavior issues.

For most of us connecting with nature is something that automatically makes us feel better, especially if we know the best element for us to connect with.

For this reason, go out into the nature alone, with friends, with your family , and find out what makes you feel reinvigorated:

  • A Tree element character goes well with wood, forests, trees, so surrounding yourself with this environment will enhance your well being;
  • A Fire element person should stay in the sun for a while or close to a fire pit in order to energize its power;
  • An Earth element person can walk in the mountains to achieve a better balance;
  • A Metal element personality can walk in the earth’s depths, expeditions or climbing big rocks adding some radical excitement to this element;
  • Finally a Water element person, will benefit obviously getting into the water, diving, surfing or swimming in the sea, rivers or lakes all year around not just in summer time.

Of course each of us need all the elements too, but if you are feeling more tired or unstable always search for your element in nature so that this energy can bring you back to a more balanced and healthy body and mind.

How to use decor according to your essence?

Ki Astrology is one of the great Feng Shui teachings and can really help us to discover a best version of ourselves.

Generally speaking and according to our date of birth calculation,each one of us belongs to one of the 5 elements of life [ Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, Wood ].

As soon as we understand this information, we can apply it in all aspects of our lives, including home decor.

In this example, this bedroom decor would be great for a person with a metal element essence, white is one of the metal colors and yellow and earthy tons represent earth element that comes before metal, so it can also enhance this person’s energy and balance.

How to bring a beneficial energy to our personal work desk?

A messy desk, it’s not a good Feng Shui, of course, while we are working we can certainly have materials around us, but when we finish we should keep it clean and clear.

A desk in disorder can bring a confusing state of mind as well as feeling overwhelmed, with no strength or will to work.

Also pay attention to some important details:

  • Any pointed corner around can create a bad energy flow;
  • Open shelves should be avoided or place the books so that they are aligned with the shelves;
  • Place flowers or a plant near the computer;
  • Benefit from natural light placing the desk near a window;
  • Don’t sit with your back to a door;
  • Avoid placing the desk directly in front of the door;
  • Have a comfortable chair and adjust your sitting in a proper position while at the computer.
  • For powerful results ask for professional help and place yourself towards one of your best directions.

How can a responsible decor bring good Feng Shui?

Combining some hand made pieces in home decor will bring earth element energy to any space, and at the same time, makes us closer to nature with a healthier environment even inside the home.

Besides, a durable home, back to noble materials that came from knowledge of the past are full of beauty and utility, such as ceramics, soft textiles, basketry and others.

Every piece should tell a story about its source, like this old chair passed through generations from Alentejo region, this ceramic pottery from a street fair and the wonderful carpet from sustainable Portuguese brand @kozii that are actually made in India.

Acting consciously about what we use in our home can certainly bring good energy to any space, as well as acting sustainable contributes for a better balance for all of us in this planet, our Earth. 🧡

Decorating with old pallets?

One of my favorite furniture recycles are made from this strong wood element. Every time I see a pallet transformed into a nice piece I get so amazed.

Decorating our living room with a coffee table like this, will certainly lift up the energy inside home,bringing a wood element to our space with its vigorous vibe.

Not all as to be luxurious and glamorous in home decor , sometimes a special piece is not the most expensive but the one that speaks to our heart.

Being conscious about the furniture we have at home is more important than we may imagine, so not having too much and not spending too much is quite easy and even an unpretentious and simple decor can be just as beautiful.
