What is Feng Shui?
Feng Shui is the ancient Chinese art of placement that encompasses nature and spirituality. Feng Shui has been practiced for thousands of years. The practice is based on the flow of chi (positive energy) in your home or personal space such as an office, studio, etc.
This ancient practice and I agree with the notion that we are not separate from the environment around us. Our homes and personal spaces are an extension of ourselves. They have the power to either keep us stuck and stagnant, or promote a harmonious, balanced, aligned life of calling in what you do want.
These are what I have deemed as the four pillars of understanding Feng Shui and how we interact with our environments.
Everything is alive and has energy. All matter has it’s own vibration, meaning it can emit and absorb energy.
Design Choices (color, art, texture, material of items) directly effect the energy in your space.
The positioning of your furniture and other home items effects your energy. Finding positioning that is most ideal for feeling empowered, safe, and functional in your home impacts your success, mindset, and achieving your goals.
Clutter creates stagnant energy because it inhibits chi (positive energy) from flowing freely throughout your space. It should be cleared as much as possible. Clutter could be quite literally blocking your blessings!
I stumbled upon Feng Shui while doing my routine practice of getting up early on the weekends to enjoy my coffee while I clean and arrange my space in beautiful, harmonious way. I thought to myself, “this is something that makes me feel so much inner peace, there has to be something that intersects home, lifestyle, and spirituality”. That’s when I took to Google and stumbled upon Feng Shui. That same day, I enrolled in an online course to become a Feng Shui consultant. I immediately feel in love with the practice, and cannot wait to share my content that can positively impact the lives of others!
