SHÙMÙ

Closet spaces usually arise from a part of the bedroom or even from an entire room exclusively dedicated to it, entirely dedicated to clothing with custom-made partitions, for coats, shoes, accessories, etc.

These private spaces tend to accumulate a lot of things that sometimes we don’t even use anymore and only serve to occupy space, physically and mentally, blocking the overall energy (Qi).

Nowadays, there is so much information at our disposal on this subject, so many books and methods to tidy and organize our homes.

From authors like @mariekondo to Japanese methods like Dan-Sha-Ri, which come to us from so many parts of the world, but which really come down to this: making a good cleaning and organize your belongings, in this case clothes, shoes, bags and accessories ,then observe how the energy of this space will flow more harmoniously and consequently, bringing a more beneficial Feng Shui.

Here are some general tips to guide you:

• Depending on the size of your closet, the first thing would be to separate all your clothes (to keep, donate or even sell, if you’re thinking of throwing them away, don’t throw them in the regular trash, there are several places that can use or recycle them);
• Always try to keep some space inside your drawers and closet, everything that is too full is blocking energy in general;
• Good lighting is essential, especially in this space where natural light can be difficult to get;
• Keep in mind that many decisions in the morning can be challenging, so relieve some of that morning stress by keeping your clothes in order and easy to choose;
• Because it is a predominantly yin space, incorporating soft tones and little decoration, a soft and natural rug can be more than enough;
• Finally, sometimes we tend to postpone this space more than others because of the amount of clothing and also because it is usually a space that no one sees, so it’s always a good time to start.

The Singing Bowls, also called Tibetan Bowls, are originally from Asia, mainly from Japan, China, Thailand and the Himalayan region.

It is to be presumed that there have been sound bowls since Man began to work metal (approx. from 4000 BC), these instruments are produced manually and originate from the BonPo (pre-Buddhist) shamanic culture of the Himalayas, dating back to the Bronze Age and are manufactured with different metals, including gold, silver, copper, mercury, iron, tin and lead, among others.

Nowadays, and from east to west, this incredible ancestral object and its sound have become an excellent instrument for meditation, energy rebalancing, relaxation and purification.

To clear spaces, we can start playing the bowl at the front door and then make a circuit throughout the entire space, in all its rooms.

Starting with doors, windows, corners and mirrors where energy tends to stagnate, then objects and areas that you feel that are more in need.

This can also be improved with the practice of Feng Shui, where we can play a singing bowl where the energy of the Metal Element is beneficial, from the point of view of the sector (Bagua method) or even advanced calculations (Flying stars method).
