Rituals and Feng Shui

Rituals are part of human existence and this behavior has very deep origins in all of humanity.

However, tracing these origins is not easy, as rituals often leave little or even no physical traces for archaeologists to find.

So far, the best evidence of ancient rituals is the deliberate burial of loved ones. The oldest example is found on Mount Carmel in Israel, where about 130,000 years ago a Neanderthal woman was buried by her community.

Some of the most common ritual practices are to clean and purify not only ourselves and others, but also our spaces, renewing energy and focusing on a smooth and harmonious environment for us to live in.

Therefore, when embracing the practice of Feng Shui within spaces, the first thing we must take into account is that there are no perfect homes, but all the attention and work dedicated to it will pay off, so the rituals are certainly a wonderful example of how cleaning and energizing the vibration of any environment is a great way to improve the overall energy.

How to achieve a peaceful atmosphere in the bedroom?

For the practice of Feng Shui, the room where we sleep is one of the most important rooms in terms of our well-being and harmony.

All living beings absorb energy (Chi) while they sleep, which means that in the space where we rest, the quality of that environment will naturally influence our sleep and our health.

A room full of trash, dirt and dark, gaudy colors will contaminate the overall energy of any space, which in turn will affect its inhabitants.

A hotel room usually invites a good night’s sleep even if it’s just for a few days, a clean environment with white sheets and soft colors makes a difference, especially when we’re away from home and many of us might even feel out of place.

So why not transform the bedroom with a touch of hotel vibe, as if we were going to receive someone important to us, but in this case the guest is really you, the most important person in your life.

Boosting your business with Feng Shui.

Depending on if you’re working from home or in an office, there are some important details that can help you boost your business.

Watch closely how the energy flows in that space, is it too fast with rush of air or too slow with obstacles on the way?

Also, orientation and location are both relevant information about your main furniture like your desk or the cash register.

For achieving your goals, orientation is more determinant because it works with the eyesight direction.

For these matters, checking one of your best directions could be great for best results, like for example a Metal element person could be facing West or Northwest.

For an even better harmonization, use materials and decor details that work well with your essence, this way you are making this space the perfect environment for you and your professional goals.

Water Element



The representations and characteristics of the Water element can bring a wonderful feeling of freshness and tranquility to any space, whether indoors or outdoors.

For Feng Shui practice, this element is also used to bring wealth, prosperity and the flow of beneficial energy, but just like the Fire Element, it can escape our control and potentially create unwanted situations and misfortunes.

A Water element is capable of bringing prosperity, yes, but when properly enhanced and in adequate amounts, something that should not be left to chance when we have various Feng Shui methods at our disposal to prevent this.

Therefore, depending on the size and location, wonderful representations of water such as swimming pools, waterfalls, fountains, aquariums, views of the sea, lakes and rivers can definitely make a difference in any environment and make it certainly more welcoming and unique.

Blue and black are the colors that represent this element, as well as glass and undulating shapes but always try to incorporate all the other elements ensuring a more balanced flow of energy.

Why should we also worry about having a healthier environment at home?

Many allergies and health problems can come from within our spaces and recent studies have concluded that humans are more allergic today in an industrialized world than they were a few decades ago.

Exposure to chemically altered compounds, air pollution, food additives or chemicals that are in our furniture, walls, clothes, linens and perfumes put such pressure on our body system that we can react with allergies.

It is clear that the way we design and live within our spaces also has a huge impact on our health, and the practice of Feng Shui invites beneficial energy into our lives, so here are just a few things to consider for having a healthier environment:

▫️opening windows regularly and letting in fresh air;
▫️ use non-chemical products as much as possible to clean the house;
▫️ only use natural air fresheners, incense and candles, without any chemicals;
▫️ whatever fabric is in contact with your skin, such as household clothes or to wear, they should be natural and organic just like our body;
▫️ if you are planning renovations, prefer natural materials as much as possible, for furniture, to paint the walls, etc;
▫️Finally, pay attention to moisture, mold, mites and dust, these harmful problems can cause allergies and respiratory complications, so make sure they get fixed as soon as possible.
