Lost in screens, blind to stars?

How can we not marvel at the ancient Chinese stargazers? Over 5,000 years ago, without the glare of electric lights, the night sky was a breathtaking canvas of stars. It’s humbling to think that our ancestors had a vastly different, perhaps more profound connection to the universe. We’re so caught up in our daily grind, we barely glance up at the sky. What a loss! The ancient Chinese understood the value of gazing up at the stars, and we can learn from their wonder.

The ancient Chinese were masters of astronomy, meticulously observing the sky for celestial patterns and portents. For over thousands of years, they tracked stars, planets, and comets, recording their movements and meanings. Their knowledge shaped Chinese culture , influencing everything from astrology to politics, and naturally the art of Feng Shui. 🌟

Mountain energy homes or chalets

In Feng Shui practice, mountain energy, in its form and symbolism, is linked to the earth element, which signifies support, stability, and protection. Therefore, the location of buildings and even the interior spaces are studied precisely to attract these beneficial energies for the residents.


Within these marvelous mountain chalet constructions, we often find relaxation areas such as saunas, outdoor hot tubs with panoramic views, steam baths, and sometimes even indoor pools.


The welcoming atmosphere is also guaranteed by the presence of fireplaces (stone or modern) in the heart of the living room, complemented by soft fabrics such as wool blankets, plush cushions, and sheepskin rugs.


Another great characteristic is the tendency to use large panoramic windows to maximize natural light and integrate the external landscape with the interior, maintaining clean lines and noble materials such as wood and stone.

Fireplaces at home.

As we enter the colder seasons, fireplaces take a very important role in spaces that are fortunate to have one, benefiting its residents with this great energy boost.

Back in ancient times, they were used to cook, warm and protect, they were extremely used and well cared for and a pivotal point of family life.

Nowadays, fireplaces are no longer a vital source of life, and many homes don’t even have one anymore, having electric heaters or air conditioning instead.

This strong fire element should always be under supervision and we should never light a fire and leave the house, this energy is able to bring us light, heat and happiness but also it can explode and destroy with great violence.

In Feng Shui practice, the fireplace is like a hole in the house where energy can also escape, so having a door or a protection grid is fundamental, especially with children and pets around in order to keep them safe.

When building from scratch, it’s placement is also important, to actually find the best spot for placing fireplaces and for this a deeper knowledge of the house with a Feng Shui study is recommended.

How can actually attic and garage storage influence Feng Shui results?

When it comes to healing our homes, every room is important, whatever is the attic , the basement or garage. Usually these are the spaces we neglect the most since we don’t get to live in that area and spend very little time in them.

Some Feng Shui practitioners also approach the important relation between symbolism and these environments, even relating to specific areas of life depending on what direction or Bagua corner it is situated.

In this case, if we take a look to the overall energy of the attic, this space represents the future, next generations, plans and projects.

When the energy of this space is blocked, full of clutter and dust, with lots of things and disorganized, it could represent how your goals and aspirations for the future are.

On the other hand, if we use the garage and basement to store too many things, from useless and broken items to inherited pieces, books, and machinery, symbolically, these spaces represent the past and our unconscious, also unsolved problems or pending issues that prevent us from moving forward.

In order to make your home a more harmonious place, pay closer attention to these spaces in your house as it can improve the overall quality of the energy with some effort and care.
