SHÙMÙ

Each home or space, in addition to all its size, characteristics and functions, also has its own symbology that shows us a little bit about who inhabits this space.

In the current practice of Feng Shui, just incorporating symbols from China when this ancient art is already spread all over the world, could be limiting and for some it even might be meaningless.

Thus, we can use our own symbols in spaces, whatever religion, belief or culture they are, not having this direct relationship with the Feng Shui of a certain space, but the vibration and appreciation we have for a certain symbol.

For example, the symbol of the ear in Portugal is used in houses in the month of May, usually placed behind the door, they represent bread, as the basis of family sustenance, fecundity and the beginning of the harvest.

For Feng Shui practice how and where we sleep has a big influence on our general well being.

So to find the best orientation or location to the bed, is different for each one of us and only advance studies could give that information with more detail, so no need to go and change your bed to the North just because you read it somewhere, start with what you can do by yourself and for better results always consider having a professional Feng Shui guidance.

Nevertheless, and accordingly to most of the experts in this matter, there are some things we can do to improve the energy of the bedroom:

▫️It’s not recommended to have something heavy above the bed, like 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, keeping it properly organized and clean;

▫️Mirrors reflecting the bed are also not recommended;

▫️Finally, too much clutter and synthetic linens will also ruin the Feng Shui of the bedroom, most of all it should be a great place to rest and sleep, where we can recharge our energy everyday.

Feng Shui and easy living.

As spaces grow with us through time, we should be conscious about the fact that a home could be a problem or a blessing, considering the challenges we are presented while living there.

The spaces we live and work should be easy to clean, to circulate and even to breathe, in a search for a more easy living, daily life could be less complicated and with more energy to face life’s obstacles.

So when thinking about an easy living at home, surely we are creating new energy to come, and one that benefits us , so consequently bringing a great Feng Shui to all the inhabitants.
