The bedside table should be the place where we keep only the essentials for a restful night’s sleep, such as water, the book we want to read, or the cream we like to apply.
Anything else shouldn’t be piled up on the bedside table, too many books, food , pills and especially the cell phone. Several studies have shown that electromagnetic energy disrupts our restful sleep and even our immune system.
Excessive objects in this area also accumulate dust and even mold, which can be harmful to our health in terms of allergies or respiratory problems. Therefore, the more free and organized our bedside table is, the greater the likelihood of better sleep.
After the holidays, it’s time to return home, and what awaits us can sometimes be overwhelming, perhaps because some of us procrastinate or because the kids have simply grown and their clothes no longer fit.
Whatever your situation, if you feel like your space is overflowing with clutter, now is the time to declutter. Here are some simple steps to get you started:
▪️Organize all your closets by sorting and separating, maximizing space, and trying to maintain them regularly;
▪️Organize your pantry to save time, money, and stress by categorizing items, cleaning containers, etc.
▪️Create an efficient workspace that helps you focus and increase productivity, clear away clutter and organize papers, digital documents, and cables.
Afterward, try to maintain an efficient and organized home so that the next time you enter your space, you feel peace of mind and create an inviting and functional atmosphere for all the inhabitants.
Sunflowers are known for their ability to brighten spaces and gardens. Their vibrant color attracts bees and our attention. They can completely transform a space, making it more cozy and welcoming, and are often used in kitchens, living rooms, and entryways to create a sunny and inviting atmosphere.
In feng shui, sunflowers are associated with attracting positive energy and good fortune. Placing sunflowers or images of sunflowers in the home or workplace is believed to increase happiness, bring good fortune, and create a warm and welcoming environment. 🌻
In terms of storage, although this wasn’t originally part of Feng Shui methods , we actually seek harmony and balance within our homes, so this aspect has become important for the practice of Feng Shui as well, since everything revolves around energy ( Chi).
In fact, when we have a large amount of things, in this case shoes, it can be difficult to manage the space inside our home. So to begin with, we should choose the shoes that we actually use, and let go the ones we know we cannot use, like no longer fit or are perhaps in bad condition. All of this is energy that no longer serves us and should be released.
Therefore, the places where we should avoid placing shoes as much as possible are behind the doors and under the beds. However, we should always be aware that their active energy should be stored in a way that does not interfere with others. Therefore, if we put shoes in the pantry together with food, it probably won’t be the best option, for all this it is necessary a good amount of common sense and perception of the situation.
Outside, all the hustle and bustle of the world awaits us, people, noise, roads and transports and even the weather, but it all ends when we enter our front door and our inner world presents itself again.
From the living room to the kitchen, from the bathroom to the bedroom, all rooms are intended for certain functions that are part of our daily lives, such as resting, sleeping, cleaning, receiving people, cooking, even working or meditating, but above all it should be a place where we feel such a good and calming sensation, especially when we need to recover energy from the entire outside world.
This is where Feng Shui begins, in the search for balance inside our homes assuming that all houses have a direct influence on their inhabitants and that there are many ways to improve life moving to a better version not only from ourselves but also our own personal spaces.
By adopting Feng Shui methods in our homes, we may tend to follow paths that are too rigid, but we can opt for a much more flexible stance, as in everything in life, take a step forward and make your own Feng Shui practice in a regular, dynamic way that is present throughout the environment, which may even vary according to moods, feelings or emotions, normalizing this way of living and establishing a greater connection between you and your home.
