How can a responsible decor bring good Feng Shui?

Combining some hand made pieces in home decor will bring earth element energy to any space, and at the same time, makes us closer to nature with a healthier environment even inside the home.

Besides, a durable home, back to noble materials that came from knowledge of the past are full of beauty and utility, such as ceramics, soft textiles, basketry and others.

Every piece should tell a story about its source, like this old chair passed through generations from Alentejo region, this ceramic pottery from a street fair and the wonderful carpet from sustainable Portuguese brand @kozii that are actually made in India.

Acting consciously about what we use in our home can certainly bring good energy to any space, as well as acting sustainable contributes for a better balance for all of us in this planet, our Earth. 🧡

BA GUA 8 Trigrams

Thousands of years ago, with the development of the compass, new concepts emerge while observing the sun movement and hearths electromagnetic field, such as the rising sun at East, setting sun at West, North and South, and others.

In this particular way of analysis of a house, we discover in which part of the home we feel more active or more calm, more focused or more creative, more relaxed, etc.

As Medicine and doctors study human body and its cures for diseases , Feng Shui experts study the house and its cures for harmonizing energy.

We may live years and years in the same house and don’t know where North and South is, so the Ba Gua method coming from the 8 Directions School, can tell us precisely where all directions are located and orientated inside homes, but also so much more information.

Learning about our home directions can help us enable or disable the energy inside, making it work in our behalf and not against us.

Open spaces and beams.

Open spaces can bring us a feeling of clearness and luminosity, the more open they are, the more energy can flow freely.

But sometimes in order to have an open space, we might have to place beams to support the house. And this structure can cause bad Feng Shui to its inhabitants if we don’t pay attention to some important aspects:

  • Never place the bed, sofa or dining table near a beam, in a way that nobody sits or sleeps directly beneath it;
  • Placing plants or wind bells hanged will dissolve this bad energy that comes from this structure;
  • It may occur that plants don’t last so long when placed here, in fact, they eventually end up succumbing, so always replace them as soon as you notice this or consider using artificial plants;
  • Be aware that they can become oppressive to us when placed over a bed or a living room as they eliminate the vitality of people who are in front of or below them.

When practicing Feng Shui we must remember that it’s impossible to do everything in a right way, but when the energy is rightly applied and directed it will accomplish anything.

“Regretting what we don’t have, is wasting what we already have.”Chinese proverb.

Some of us may not own a house, it can be rented or even borrowed, but that’s not an excuse for us to do not take care of it.

While practicing Feng Shui, there were times that I noticed a feeling of neglect between a home and its inhabitants and this happened mostly with spaces that were rented or belonged to someone else.

Do you think energy and vibration knows who the owner is? The answer is no, and what we do in the space we live in will react in resonance.

By the time we accept the challenge of every home and start improving its energy in our own behalf, we might come to an understanding, that the home we live is our shelter, our nest, our healer even when it’s not ours in paper.

For this reason, always try to take good care of your home and surely you will receive the same back to you.💚✨

Decorating with old pallets?

One of my favorite furniture recycles are made from this strong wood element. Every time I see a pallet transformed into a nice piece I get so amazed.

Decorating our living room with a coffee table like this, will certainly lift up the energy inside home,bringing a wood element to our space with its vigorous vibe.

Not all as to be luxurious and glamorous in home decor , sometimes a special piece is not the most expensive but the one that speaks to our heart.

Being conscious about the furniture we have at home is more important than we may imagine, so not having too much and not spending too much is quite easy and even an unpretentious and simple decor can be just as beautiful.
