Spring Cleaning with Feng Shui

Spring is the season of renewal, manifestation, celebration.

Feng Shui Energy to Get You Going.

1. Open all windows and aerate the space well to bring fresh energy.
2. Get dressed in clothing that is practical, made of natural fibers and makes you feel good!
3. Bring some Fire Element colors -- RED,ORANGE,YELLOW, PURPLE, PINK -- for an additional boost of energy to the space you are working at.
4. Put on the music you love and start small, focusing on one area to give you a sense of accomplishment.

The kitchen

In feng shui, the state of your kitchen is the state of your health, especially the state of your liver. Liver is the main detoxifying organ in the body. So do your liver and your health a favor and clean up and de-clutter that kitchen!

• De-clutter the refrigerator.
• Clean the stove and all the pots and pans.
• Let go of all harsh chemical cleaners from the kitchen and go for natural ones.
• Clean out all the drawers, surfaces, light fixtures, etc.

The kitchen should have several levels of proper lighting, be airy and spacious, clean, bright and welcoming.

Keep the kitchen simple and do not overload it with gadgets.

Fresh flowers bring beautiful uplifting energy to the kitchen. Place a bowl of fruit, a vase of flowers, or a living plant on your kitchen table, windowsill, or wherever the layout of your kitchen allows.

Bring three new pots with vibrant feng shui green plants (Areca Palmto) refresh the energy of your space and symbolize, as well as ground, the energy of new beginnings. If you plan to place them in the kitchen, go for lush and aromatic rosemary or mint.

Choose colors that blend and feel good together. Feng Shui-wise, color yellow is very good for digestion, and you can have it as light as "butter yellow" or as vibrant as "squash yellow."

Kitchen is considered the heart of the home, so make it a happy and healthy heart! Follow these simple steps and create a space where your family and friends will share many beautiful moments together.

The main entrance

Your main entrance is the way your house gets its energy nourishment and in feng shui it is called the mouth of Chi, or energy.

Upon the entrance to every space your energy is looking for grounding and focus, so do treat your senses respectfully and provide for a visual relief.

Let go of any objects in your main door area that are not really needed there.

A Perfect Feng Shui Bedroom

A good feng shui bedroom is fun and pleasurable to be in.

1.**Let go of the TV, computer or exercise equipment in your bedroom**. The good feng shui energy in your bedroom is destroyed when these items are present in your bedroom.

2. Open the windows often or use a good quality air-purifier to keep the air fresh and full of oxygen. Be mindful of the quality of air in your bedroom. You cannot have good feng shui in your bedroom if the air you breathe in is stale and full of pollutants. Please note that plants in the bedroom are not good feng shui, unless your bedroom is fairly large and the plants are located far from the bed.
3. Have several levels of lighting in your bedroom, or use a dimmer switch to adjust the energy accordingly. Good, appropriate lighting is very important, as light is our N. 1 nutrient and one of the strongest manifestation of energy. Candles are the best feng shui bedroom lighting, but be sure to buy candles with no toxins.
4. Use soothing colors to achieve a good feng shui balance in your bedroom. Feng Shui bedroom decor is a balanced decor that promotes the best flow of energy for restorative sleep, as well as sexual healing. Best feng shui colors for the bedroom are considered the so-called "skin colors", and we know the colors of human skin vary from pale white to rich chocolate brown. Choose colors within this range that will work best for your bedroom decor.
5. Choose the images for your bedroom wisely, as images carry powerful feng shui energy. Best feng shui advice for the bedroom art is to choose images that you want to see happening in your life. Unless you enjoy being sad and lonely, do not use sad and lonely images in your bedroom.
6. Follow the basic feng shui guidelines for your Bed, which are:

• have your bed easily approachable from both sides,
• have two bedside tables (one on each side)
• and avoid having the bed in a direct line with the door.

A "good looking" and well-balanced bed is very important in creating a perfect feng shui bedroom. Good mattress, solid headboard and high quality sheets from natural fibers are also very important in creating harmonious feng shui energy.

7. Keep all the bedroom doors closed at night, be it the closet doors, the en-suite bathroom door or the bedroom door. This will allow for the best and most nourishing flow of energy to strengthen your health, as well as the health of your relationship.

The idea of a perfect feng shui bedroom may bring different images to different people, but they will all have one thing in common - Pleasure and Dreaming as the keywords. In a good feng shui bedroom, every item will reflect the clear intent for love, healing and relaxation.

*Rose Quartz is the "Queen" of Love crystals*, a very powerful and gentle healer for your Heart. Have several of them in your Home to attract a Happy Relationship.

That should never be in the bedroom - a mirror facing the bed directly" -- working very hard" against that particular couple's harmony and sexual healing.

Treat both sides of the bed right and treat them "equally.

Is there any free space in your closets? A closet that has some breathing room and a free flow of energy is not only promoting a better health and more opportunities. Plain common sense here!

You can look into bringing a rug in deep Earth Element colors in the bedroom for a strong energy foundation, or other Earth element decor items.

Home Office

• Separating business and home life,
• Lack of stimulating social (business-related) interaction.

1. Use feng shui to create your home office as far from the bedroom as possible.
2. Plan your home office with your well-being and productivity in mind.

Select appropriate colors that you like.

3. Be mindful of the quality of air and the quality of light (natural and artificial) in your home office, as these are two of the good feng shui must-haves. If your brain is starving for oxygen and your body does not get enough natural light, you will not enjoy working there no matter how much you love your job. Consider investing in full-spectrum lights and do bring at least a couple of air-purifying plants into your home office.
4. Position your desk so that you do not have your back to the door. This is the minimum feng shui requirement for the office desk. Be also mindful of not facing a wall while working at your desk. If you have to face the wall, use feng shui to make the wall "disappear" with vibrant images, beautiful art, etc; whatever brings a smile to your face and makes you breathe deeper and calmer.

What you can do is hang photos and photos of places that inspire you, people that helped you grow, diplomas and certifications, etc, etc; in other words, make it an inspirational wall. Instead of having your energy blocked, now you will be literally absorbing high energy coming from the chosen by you items, thus your energy levels will actually increase.

Here are some basic Feng Shui tips for your business and office:

1. Always sit with a solid wall behind your back to ensure that you have support in your life, never sit with a window behind you.
2. The arrangement of tables and chairs should be in a harmonious position so that chi is able to flow smoothly.
3. In your office, never have the main door opening into your desk as the chi coming in will hit at your face causing more obstacles and problems. Reorganize your office.
4. The chi from the main entrance of your office should not first meet a wall inside the office.
5. For corporate clients a fish tank placed in the wealth area is one of the best cures for great results and success. However there are strict criteria for the fish tank that one has to follow.
