SHÙMÙ

Changing a bit our home decor as seasons move is in fact a ritual we all have. Christmas and other festive celebrations can be great to shift the environment,specially if you are someone that get’s often bored with too much time of the same decor, I’m totally with you!

One great option for summer season is to choose earthy tons such as pastel, to slow down fire’s active energy of this time of the year. At the same time you will be filling the house with light and freshness and this way you will be able to feel more comfortable and positive.

Also prefer to use natural fabrics around you, in the clothes to wear, the sheets and pillows, towels, bags and try to buy consciously searching first for national sustainable brands that really respect the environment.

Sunday’s reflection is about Feng Shui and our intuition, is it all about mathematic calculation and measuring location?

It might be for some but practicing Feng Shui tought me that intuition is certainly important for Feng Shui studies, not only from the consultant point of view, but also from the inhabitants of the home.

Even before a consultation, it has happened more than once that someone tells me that they thought a certain change was better so they changed it and felt great about it, and sometimes that it even coincided with the study of the house.

Feng Shui has a lot to do with experience, changing something and feeling the transformation in our life, so we should trust our instinct as another instrument for energizing correctly our homes.

Which is your favorite part of the home and why? Do you think you could feel that about each part of the house? With Feng Shui is possible.

Bathrooms can be quite a challenge in terms of Feng Shui, specially if they are right at the center of the home.

Generally, the best directions to place a bathroom are North, East and Southeast and in terms of decor we can use tree and metal elements so that water remains in its beneficial cycle, metal producing water, and water producing tree.

This element is the most recognizable inside bathrooms, meaning that in here water energy dominates the entire space, nevertheless, balancing with the other elements is essential for an harmonious environment.

One of the most common problems we face in bathrooms, like dripping taps, clogged pipes, seepage should be fixed rapidly because water’s movement, or lack of it, closely replicates the flow of energy in our lives.

So if you are having trouble in moving forward, in finding your path clearly, very worried and afraid, and even depressed, maybe you should take a look of what’s happening in your bathroom.

Once you achieve a flowing energy in this space you might experience water energy guiding you with calmness and strength as its natural ability.

Dining spaces are such an important part of the house, it’s where we share our food with friends and family and we should pay attention to it specially right now.

In the past few months with this difficult situation we are all going through, I have been noticing that this part of the home is very busy, meals all the time, studies and work, and all sorts of stuff over the dining table.

So in order to achieve the best energy flow in this space and giving it due importance, here’s what we can do:

• keep the table free from clutter;
• use fresh fruit for the table center;
• place a big mirror in that area, for Feng Shui experts it represents multiplying food and family prosperity;
• use that area for meals mostly, sometimes we tend to eat more in the kitchen;
• keep this space clean and sparkle;
• a good lighting is crucial;
• last but not least, stay away from television when you are having your meals, don’t let children play with iPads and games at the table, keep your telephones out and don’t answer calls or check notifications. All of this are disturbing items for a healthy meal.

Remember, meals and memories are made here, make them the best.🧡

Exemplifying- Limonium sinuatum – a Sea Lavender species knowned due to the characteristics of its flowers and leaves that are the most suitable for obtaining dried flowers and cut flowers, and also in addition to ornamental plant pots.
This happens because the flowers remain with color and without falling for a long time even without water, but in terms of energy are empty and not alive, only its colors can give us a good visual feeling, but that’s it.
This stagnant energy of dry flowers and leaves is often placed in another stagnant room or part of the house, and instead of bringing that energy up it will do the opposite.
For this matters, and for most of Feng Shui specialists, I usually don’t advice having them at home, specially the ones we can’t see like hidden inside books, boxes and oftentimes inside drawers, if no longer as scents then you should take it out.
But if you really like them and for some reason you cannot have live plants instead, use only if the purpose is to bring some visual detail or nice fragrance and make sure they are placed somewhere visible,just like any piece of decor you love. 💜
