How do we get closer to nature inside our spaces?

Even inside our walls, we are able to feel the essence of nature, especially when we choose carefully the fabrics and furniture we use to sleep, eat, dress.

Most of the textile and furniture industries,use chemicals and other artificial substances in the manufacture process, so we must be aware that they can bring toxins into our spaces and bodies as well as the fact that they are literally spending to much of our nature resources, not to mention the huge pollution they produce every day.

In the search for balance in life, practicing or not practicing the principles of Feng Shui, we should consider to use as much as possible natural and sustainable fabrics and furniture, in order to protect ourselves and our family from this type of unseen aggressions.

There is a wide variety of natural materials such as wood, bamboo, stone,cotton, linen, hemp, sisal,etc.

By opting for a more sustainable life, at the same time we will be remarking our connection with nature and aiming for a healthier and greener future.

Do you consider your home a reflection of yourself?

The places we inhabit are often considered as an extension of our mind, body and soul.

There are so many clues that show exactly the essence of the inhabitants, it can go from more messy or more tidy, very well organized or chaotic, super hi-tech and modern, or classic and old fashion, and so many others…

The Universe is filled with countless possibilities and these types of situations can occur in any home, wether a more humble or a more luxurious home, in East or West of the planet.

No matter the style or size, by practicing valuable tools like Feng Shui in our homes, we can be able to shift the energy anytime and by doing this, our own self will be changing to a new transformation, keeping in mind that only depends on ourselves the search of wellness.

“ A thousand mile trip starts with only one small step”- Lao Tzu.

The home as a sanctuary.

For modern living, our home should be our own sanctuary and not just some walls standing, it’s really where we escape from the world outside, where we recharge and gain strength for daily challenges, where we can rest and sleep well, where we can eat our favorite and delicious food, and especially where we can feel happy.

The Feng Shui practice could really help us a lot in achieving this well being, but if we pay close attention, what’s around us inside home could be already helping or difficulting this achievement.

So perhaps, by looking around your home and observe how certain objects make you feel, could be the best to do before anything, dare to change a bit what’s inside your home and remember that plants, positive words, beautiful art and happy pictures are great allies to elevate positive and beneficial energy around you.

How to add sustainable choices to Feng Shui practice in modern living?

The Chinese milenar art of Feng Shui, has really a lot to teach, but recognizing life’s transformations and the 5 elements, are definitely for me, the best knowledge that any of us should acquire.

But using this “dance” of elements inside your home, doesn’t mean you can’t choose to make more sustainable choices, here are just a few:

  • Using plants at home, when inside not only makes the air cleaner, but also gives a feeling of strength and growth, usually associated with tree element energy;
  • Recycled furniture, as long as it is in good shape and you love it, can be used at home representing other elements like metal or earth;
  • Try do reduce the use of plastic as much as possible, not only is bad for the global environment, but for health too, it’s associated to fire element;
  • Create the habit of composting your household waste, from fruit peels to coffee grounds, this way your ecological footprint will decrease considerably and you can use it to fertilize your plants, this process includes all the 5 elements of energy;
  • Try to save water as much as you can, buckets under the drips can reduce your consumption and plants prefer water with no chemicals, this way you will also value this essential element of life, water element.
