The holiday season can be a stressful time. Feng Shui is a practice of well being through your home. You can take advantage of the spaces of your home for total wellness and being when you decorate and keep it right throughout the holidays by practicing a few thing of Feng Shui.
When your guests come into your home the first thing you want them to notice is the bright lights of the artificial Christmas trees. If you have a home where you don’t like people to wear their shoes in, most likely you have a place right at the front door for people to kick off their shoes. This is a common Feng Shui mistake. The space at your front door is where your energy will ride and carry throughout the home. The odors from shoes will collect and travel throughout the house removing energy and can cause sickness. Never store shoes right at the front door of your home.
Some people have furniture specifically for Christmas. If you have a red sofa or even red sofa covers you like to use during the holidays because of the colors matching the decorations on the artificial trees, don’t use them. Red represents the element of fire in Feng Shui. Red causes problems with high pressures in your home, troubles, and even obstacles in your life.
Open up your home during the holidays. Many people think it is too cold to open the home up with the windows. If you use a fireplace and like to sit by the fire and watch the artificial Christmas trees and the lights sparkle, it is best to have a few windows open. You should at least open the windows for a short period each night so you can allow the fresh chi to come inside of your home. You don’t want stale chi in your home. You will bring in good fortune when you are bringing in fresh chi.
Many children like to sleep together the night before Christmas so they can all wake up together and open their gifts under the tree. However, you shouldn’t allow the children to sleep on the floor of any room. A child sleeping on a mattress on the floor or just on the floor may fall ill on Christmas morning. The chi needs to be able to flow under them while they are sleeping and circulate around their mattress so they remain healthy.
Feng Shui is a common practice for people who want to use the energy in their home to keep them healthy. During the holiday season there are many things to think about when you decorate the home and how your home is. Don’t have your guests kick off their shoes right at the front door. Be sure to open the windows in the home for a few minutes every day to bring in good fortune. Most importantly, don’t bring red into the main room of the home because it can bring in problems like disagreements and bad fortune.
