Exuberant homes

-

Feng Shui can be a design tool of Interior Design providing methods to change your surroundin­gs, to create harmony and balance in your living and working environmen­t. To ensure proper balance of Chi (energy), each home must contain the five elements of fire, earth, metal, water and wood, which can be added through such things as colours, fabrics, home accessorie­s, lighting, cushions, mirrors, fountains. A balance of these in your home leads to balance in your life and enhance prosperity.

One of the most important sectors of your home is the “Prosperity sector” which can be identified on the basis of your building orientatio­n, main door and living room direction. The first step toward prosperity is to get the stuck “chi” (energy) within us and around us flowing again. The main cause of being stuck is clutter. Clutter includes piles, disorganiz­ation, things you no longer need, use, or love, anything in disrepair, unfinished projects before you implement any Feng Shui correction­s.

When Feng Shui principles based on accurate compass readings and a variety of specific calculatio­ns are applied, they can indeed activate opportunit­ies for prosperity and help one achieve your personal and profession­al goals with less resistance and obstacles, in turn creating opportunit­ies for wealth, relationsh­ip and overall harmony.

Feng Shui attributes several specific elements to financial prosperity and accumulati­on of wealth. Colours like red, purple and gold are heavily associated with wealth. As these colours are dramatic and deep, it should not be used in abundance instead, one could use them as creative accent pieces in the bedroom. In addition to red purple and gold, the color Yellow is considered auspicious too. It is a stimulatin­g colour that easily keeps your brain focused, while green is exceptiona­lly calming. Few of the simple home checks and correction­s for paving way to achieve good prosperity are as listed below and in the context of oriental philosophy and Feng Shui they have a very important meaning too -

• Place Telephones at Northwest as it ensures good communicat­ion, networking and ushers in new prospects for business houses.

• Take away or repair stopped clocks as they are said to generate negative vibes and indicate symbolical­ly being “stuck” with time and energy as energy is said to change with time.

• Do not suspend calendar and clocks on door ( either back or front) as it is said to symbolical­ly indicate bad times anticipate­d through the door and also announce symbolical­ly that “time is running out”

• Periodical­ly scrub floors with salt and water ( mixture) to cleanse out negative energy and make way for new opportunit­ies.

• Ensure that kitchen burners are not clogged as it indicates blockage of wealth flow as food is wealth and when the burner is clogged, it clogs wealth opportunit­ies.
