Below area few Feng Shui tips that we've compiled to make your home inviting and more relaxing.
Candles
Candles represent fire. They give off a pleasant light, attracting others with their energy. People are naturally drawn to fire, which provides light and warmth and infuse a space with a sense of comfort, safety and good health.
Salt
Salt represents balance and stability. When placed in a small metal or ceramic bowl near your main entrance, salt absorbs the negative energy in a dwelling and transforms it to create a stable atmosphere. Salt should be changed every three weeks.
A Kitchen Should Have
- Lots of fresh air and airflow.
- A plant to purify the air
- Fire (stove) placed in the east or the south
- Water (sink, dishwasher) placed in the west or the north
- A large, stable working area
- Yellow walls to stimulate the stomach and intestines
- Terracotta flooring
- A window over the sink
AvoidClutter
Clutter causes stagnation in a room bringing down it's energy levels. The heart of the home should be clear and free flowing, just like the heart of your body. Blockage of the blood vessels of the heart with plaques and debris causes it to function less effectively and the body loses energy and stagnates. This is a great analogy for your kitchen. The place we look to for sustenance, where our life-giving food is prepared, should be free of debris, fresh and clean; a suitable environment for our food, loved ones and friends.
Benchtops should be clear of any appliances, even the toaster. Always have a place to store these things when they are not in use.
