Where does energy come from at home?

For Feng Shui practicing definitely from its inhabitants and through the doors and windows.

So aerating your home every day, is essential for the quality of the energy and the air you breathe.

We should let natural light enter our homes and feel the sun spreading its energy.

It is also crucial that the air is renewed, there are already proven studies that sometimes the air inside homes can be even more polluted than outside.

This happens not only due to the use of potentially toxic chemicals for cleaning rituals, but also the use of harmful materials in our clothes, furniture, paintings, coatings, etc.

Some types of air fresheners, candles and even incense are also to be avoided, so always remember to choose natural and environmentally friendly products in your lifestyle so that you live in a more healthier and sustainable environment.

What Feng Shui tells about objects above and below the bed?

According to most of the experts in this matter, it’s not a good idea to place something heavy above your bed, even books on shelves or a big heavy piece of art, this might create an unstable energy that can disturb a proper sleep.

Also beneath the bed you might check if the energy is flowing in a way that is possible to clean all the dust that is usually there.

If you keep objects under the bed, only bed clothing is preferable, and properly organized and clean of course.

Beware that where you sleep is actually the place where we all spend most of the time in our homes, so the energy of this environment can have a big influence in your well being.

Open spaces and beams.

Open spaces can bring us a feeling of clearness and luminosity, the more open they are, the more energy can flow freely.

But sometimes in order to have an open space, we might have to place beams to support the house. And this structure can cause bad Feng Shui to its inhabitants if we don’t pay attention to some important aspects:

  • Never place the bed, sofa or dining table near a beam, in a way that nobody sits or sleeps directly beneath it;
  • Placing plants or wind bells hanged will dissolve this bad energy that comes from this structure;
  • It may occur that plants don’t last so long when placed here, in fact, they eventually end up succumbing, so always replace them as soon as you notice this or consider using artificial plants;
  • Be aware that they can become oppressive to us when placed over a bed or a living room as they eliminate the vitality of people who are in front of or below them.

When practicing Feng Shui we must remember that it’s impossible to do everything in a right way, but when the energy is rightly applied and directed it will accomplish anything.
