Feng Shui and our interior world.

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.

How does light enter your space?

An important aspect of Feng Shui studies is how light and energy (Chi) enter each space, especially natural light coming from outside.

When a careful mapping of space and its directions is done, and depending on which side of the globe it is on, we can know exactly the quality and quantity of light we have in certain rooms.

For example, generally if a living room is facing south in Portugal, in the northern hemisphere it will certainly have light and heat throughout the day, from sunrise to sunset.

On the other hand, if that same space faces North, it will probably be dark and cold, with a lack of light.

In the east direction, we can benefit from the sunrise light, which is generally good for bedrooms.

To the west direction we are able to watch the sunset, so the living rooms are also great here.

How can the refrigerator interfere with the good feng shui of your kitchen?

For the practice of Feng Shui, the kitchen is very important with all the energy it contains and consequently circulates through the other spaces. It is also directly linked to our health, what we eat and what our habits are, leading us to make good and bad decisions.

Therefore, the refrigerator is also something we should pay attention to, as an appliance used to cool food, this process has a water element, while food in general has a metal and earth element (due to its components).

So to ensure an overall clean and healthy environment in the kitchen, start with the refrigerator and check some of these important aspects that can instantly improve that energy:

  • Do not leave expired food inside the refrigerator or when you notice that the appearance of food is getting old, with odors, mold and fungus;
  • Arrange food in the refrigerator so you can see and access it easily, with those with the shortest shelf life at the front;
  • Avoid leaving it full, as well as consuming more energy you will probably end up wasting and eating more;
  • Finally clean it regularly with natural ingredients such as vinegar and baking soda to eliminate odors.

Light and happiness.

Natural light is one of the most important aspects people want when looking for a home or business besides location. Natural light has value indoors and sunny homes and offices tend to be more expensive.

Several studies have recently been carried out on the relationship between light and happiness, some researchers have shown that sunlight can play a fundamental role in our daily well-being and also in the quality of our night’s sleep.

For most feng shui scholars, light has also been studied for hundreds of years in Chinese culture, aspects such as knowing exactly where the sunniest environments are in a space and for what purpose they are most suitable (such as sleeping, socializing or working). ), all this and much more information that could be added.

Definitely having natural light is a huge benefit for more harmonious and balanced spaces, which consequently result in balanced people and environments, whether it is the place where we live, work, eat or study.

Objects and Feng Shui.

The flow of energy and the way everything is connected within spaces is a combination of several different factors, which is why each object also emits a vibration on us, not just living beings, although we feel a much stronger impact with them, naturally.

Thus, objects can be characterized by material, color, shape and symbolism. Therefore, when we look at any object in our home, we should pay attention to the vibration we receive from it.

Look around your space and analyze your objects carefully , hold them and notice what sensations they bring, were they really meant to be part of your life? Sometimes just doing this simple exercise can help unblock stagnant energies, bringing a proper and harmonious flow of energy throughout the space and consequently, a better Feng Shui.
