Pantries

As the season and circumstances are making us to eat more at home, let’s take a look at our pantries.

Pantries can easily turn to a messy place, that’s why we should keep it well organized and clean.

Don’t let your pantry come to the point where is chaotic, especially with food and ingredients that already expired.

Storage your ingredients like pasta, flours, rice and others in glass containers, the advantage is that they last longer, you can have a better notion of the quantity you need and besides of being more sustainable, they are certainly nicer.

Buying food in bulk stores is also a great option, where we can even bring our own containers and considerably reduce plastic waste.

Independently on which section your pantry is located inside home, beware that all of this “nests” of chaotic energy can bring a non beneficial or stagnant flow into your home.

Even when you apparently have the most beautiful kitchen, what’s inside of it also counts a lot.

BAGUA

The magic square or Bagua, is also used by some Feng Shui practitioners as another tool for a more intuitive approach, this extra layer of information is a great way to complete any space interpretation.

Placing correctly the Bagua over the house or business plant, is the first step to decipher the energetic characteristics of the space.

Each section will correspond to a different area, and when matching this information, we should be able to evaluate in which parts of the home we can improve the energy, and consequently, which parts of our own life.

What Feng Shui tells about objects above and below the bed?

According to most of the experts in this matter, it’s not a good idea to place something heavy above your bed, even books on 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, and properly organized and clean of course.

Beware that where you sleep is actually the place where we all spend most of the time in our homes, so the energy of this environment can have a big influence in your well being.

How important are front doors in Feng Shui?

Front doors are one of the most important aspects of a Feng Shui study.

Not only because they represent the “mouth” of the home, where most of the energy enters, but also because they separate the outside world from our inside universe.

While visiting Dublin city I took this picture and noticed most of the front doors are made of solid wood and each one with its own color, red, blue, yellow, black, pink, you name it, this is mostly for habitants to identify more easily their homes.

A red door like this for example, could be great for a South front house and adding this 2 plants on each side helps even more to bring balance to the front door.

So in order to welcome a positive energy to your front door:

  • Have a clear path, free from obstacles;
  • Guests should find your home easily;
  • The door should open smoothly with no difficulty;
  • Everything should be functioning properly, like the door bell, the lock, etc.

Check this general recommendations about your front door and always work with a professional Feng Shui consultant for better results.
