In the ancient art of Feng Shui, low ceilings in the bedroom could cause too much pressure over our heads, sometimes causing discomfort or even headaches and insomnia.

Very often it’s difficult to find the “perfect Feng Shui”, as well as, there are no perfect solutions, only a deeper search for what’s best for our well being is possible.

So, in this case, it would be better to change the bed to another room or part of the room where the ceiling is higher and where energy flow is better.

Instead, try placing a dresser for example, since it wouldn’t be a place where we spend a lot of time like the bed and so it shouldn’t interfere with our sleep.

Dining room spaces are such an important part of the house, it’s where we share our food with friends and family and where nurturing takes place.

So in order to achieve the best energy flow in this space and giving it the due importance, here’s what we can do:

• Keep the table free from clutter;
• Use fresh fruits for the table center;
  -Placing a big mirror in that area, for Feng Shui experts it represents multiplying food and family prosperity;
• Use this space for most of the meals, sometimes we tend to eat more in the kitchen;
• Keep this space clean and sparkle;
• Good lighting is crucial;
• Avoid being distracted by electronic devices, like tablets and cell phones, all of these are disturbing items for a healthy and calm meal.

Although it might not be the most important space of a house, entryways are such a reflexion of our lifestyle and should also be considered in Feng Shui practice.

As we enter into any house or business, the first impression will gave us immediate sensations, whether good or not so good, so atractting the beneficial energy to this space could help in having a more harmonious environment.

However, in order to improve these sensations, here’s what we could do:

◻️ Check that it’s not a dark space and that it has enough light;
◻️Observe if energy is entering very fast, or too slow with many obstacles, the purpose is to flow smoothly;
◻️This is a great place to use pleasant and natural smells like organic incense, oils or candles for a more inviting atmosphere;
◻️Depending on the natural light of the space, use adequate plants and flowers, this lifts up the energy in any room.

Bringing beneficial Feng Shui energy to any kitchen, requires first of all, a good observation of the entire space.

By saying this, of course, there are more advanced studies that could go deeper in the knowledge of Feng Shui practice, nevertheless, there are some aspects that we should take a look before any advanced study and that could make an immediate impact in every kitchen.

◽️- How is the circulation of your kitchen, pay attention if it’s too tight or with obstacles on the way and try to improve this situation;

◽️- Check out your Water elements, if you are having problems with pipes or taps try to solve them as soon as possible;

◽️- Check also your fire elements like the lights and the stove, they should be functioning well with full potential;

◽️- If there’s too many objects in the kitchen, declutter as much as you can, leaving free space above the countertops for preparing your meals smoothly with no stress associated;

◽️- Having a clean kitchen is very important, this is where most of the smells and garbage come from, also preferring Eco friendly or homemade cleaning products, are great for a fresh and healthy air with no toxins,
harmful to the environment and human beings.

Regarding the social areas of the house, such as the living room and dining room, the trend today is to open these areas so that more people can gather, bringing a more inviting vibe.

Since we define these areas separately, it can be a great option for a family that likes to entertain frequently, putting the living room closer to the door and the dining room further away, for example.

Therefore, depending on how we use our social spaces, more private or more social, we can also use the practice of Feng Shui to find this balance and, for that, the position of the furniture is fundamental for a more harmonious environment.
