If you're interested in feng shui, you might be overwhelmed, but don't worry. This ancient art and science has some application for just about everyone. Even though many people tell you that you'll need a "feng shui expert" to come to your home and give you a reading as to where your positive energy resides and what should be done in each room of your house, this isn't something you usually need to do.
Anybody can encourage the positive energy to flow and discourage negative energy with a few easy feng shui tips that you can use today.
Feng Shui Tip #1
Probably the most basic and most important feng shui tip is to start de-cluttering. There is no more potent energy drainer in your home than excessive clutter. Old clothes that you know youll never wear again, broken appliances that you know youll never fix, all of these things are just reminders of unfinished projects and unmet goals, and are a drain on you mentally and emotionally.
You can also apply this feng shui tip on decluttering to larger items like car parts, furniture, and so on. For example, if you have more than two major pieces of furniture to sit on in your living room, ask yourself why. Or, if you have a garage full of odd car parts that you're not going to use, ask yourself why and they get rid of them.
If the answer to any of those questions is, Just in case, then you know that these things are clutter. Get rid of them.
Feng Shui Tip #2
You should have a look at the colors used in your home and working environment. Color affects our emotional state and can be a factor in our moods. A good feng shui tip to use when you want to increase your vitality and energy is to use bold, bright colors in rooms you spend time in before heading out for the day. This might be the breakfast nook or kitchen. Warm, dark colors are good to settle your mood down. This would apply to the bedroom or living room. Warm browns and greens are good for such areas but there is no set color that you have to use. We all have different preferences and tastes.
However, take care. This is not a case where "more is better." If you use too much of any bright color, this can overpower you and make you tense instead of relaxed or uplifted. If you use too much of a dark color, your mood can be brought down, or this can even make you depressed.
It is often a good idea to stand in the entrance to the room and observe it. Be honest about the colors you can see in the room. Is it too much? You might want to think about using a neutral color with other colors as accents or toning down the overall shade.
By applying these two very quick, very simple feng shui tips in your own home, you can begin to feel the power of positive energy as it is welcomed and ushered into your surroundings.
