SHÙMÙ

This ancient Chinese art is based on harmonizing spaces and aims to improve the vital energy in beings and environments.

For this purpose, Feng Shui can be applied both in homes, in commercial spaces and companies. But always with the aim of making the environment healthy and prosperous.

Home decor and interior design are definitely tools for harmonizing Feng Shui inside our homes, but following this way of living has a much deeper meaning and this implies a profound knowledge of how energy moves in the planet, in the sky, in our home and even in our body.

Bed positioning is quite an important topic for a proper Feng Shui analysis.

But sometimes , the more you read about Feng Shui, the more confusing you get because there are several methods or “schools” of this ancient art.

Some of these methods are very simple and intuitive to use, while others are more complex and require a deep knowledge of techniques to fully understand.

Form School is how Feng Shui was practiced in ancient times even before the invention of the magnetic compass. These ancient people studied the land, energy flow and the principles of yin and yang. From this, they learnt how best to site their homes, ensuring family prosperity.

So for this particular School , that focuses on observing forms around us ,the bed should always have a wall in its back and definitely not windows or corners, and mostly we should have a good overview from the bed to the door.

If we commit ourselves to bring a positive energy to any space, the result will always be better than before. ✨

Here are some great tips for you to check on your kitchen space:

• Good lighting is fundamental, especially where we prepare our food;
• clear the space, clutter in the kitchen may cause disturbing food habits;
• keep counter tops spotless and with space for food preparation;
• better circulation, a kitchen full of obstacles is not good for overall energy flow;
• don’t use too much decor in this space, the more simple the better;
• having some plants is great to help you clean the air;
• make sure you keep it clean and sparkly after used.

Now and more than ever, cleaning our homes are a great part of our lives, and this ritual made humankind survive no matter in which part of the world.

Also, some people have a natural well feeling when everything is clean and sparkly, if you are a bit annoyed because your house is a complete mess, then you might need a complete cleaning ritual at home.

While practicing Feng Shui tips in your space, remember that the energy spreads throughout the house as windy, so is carrying all the smells, dust and dirt. Even the products we use can be quite toxic for our health and environment so always try to clean with non chemical products and eco friendly.

Cleaning our home can also help us in organizing our own mind, specially when we are overthinking.

So get to it and trust the process. Schedule 2 days at the most and don’t get lost with the clutter, try to keep only what you need making it easier for the next time.

After you finished, you might experience the following days as more brighter, refreshing and with a much better flow.

For Feng Shui experts, the stove has a great importance in our home energy due it’s fire element and for being able to provide us the food we need to be healthy.

Advanced Feng Shui studies can give the best placement for it so consult a Feng Shui expert in this matter could be the best option.

Still, in general the best direction to place it should be in south, east or southeast corner of your home or kitchen and while planning your design, you should always keep the stove away from water sources, like fridges and sinks.
In case you can no longer move them, place something that represents the wood element in between, it can help to ameliorate the situation.
