Feng Shui

Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese art form that all of us can incorporate into our lives. We can do this by organizing our environment in such a way that enhances the flow of life force [chi]. Chi is the energy of life and it encompasses our body mind and spirit. Feng Shui creates a space that allows for chi to flow naturally, and it is said to increase our health, wealth, and happiness. There is so much to learn about this incredible form of art. I'm sharing some fun things I learned while studying at the Institute of Integrative Nutrition and if you find this interesting, let this be just the beginning of your Feng Shui journey. ❤

Ready for some tips on creating your very own Feng Shui?

Using Feng Shui for greater wealth:

• Fix leaks in the home as they represent financial leaks.

• Close the lid of the toilet when not being used: like leaks, the toilet represents flushing things away and we don't want money to be among things flushed away!

• Organize your wallet, demonstrating that you respect money and spend it wisely. Consider buying a bright-colored wallet in red, green or purple tones to attract financial abundance.

• Keep your stovetop clean and use all the burners, alternating each time you cook. The burners should all be used to allow for a variety of opportunities and financial channels.

• Use affirmations to ensure you have a positive mindset when it comes to money.

Using Feng Shui for greater health:

• Clear out clutter.

• Invest in a mattress that supports your body and helps you to rest and restore each evening.

• Think about the airflow in the living space: plants to purify the air and fans to move energy.

• Choose wooden bed frames rather than those made of metal. Metal frames can affect sleep cycles by attracting electromagnetic waves.

• Tune out and unplug. Keep electronics out of the bedroom.

• Softer colors for a calmer environment, like beige for instance.

Using Feng Shui for love:

• Throw away dead flowers.

• Maintain bed linens that are clean and fresh.

• Meditate regularly.

• Use candles to create a romantic ambiance.

• Place two roses at your bedside and visualize what love means for you.

Have fun with this and give it a go!

A Healthy Home

A healthy lifestyle includes a healthy home... and just as we are all bio-individuals, homes are unique and mean different things for each of us. Homes can be calm and soft-toned or they can be energetic and brightly decorated. One individual may thrive in an urban environment with a constant hum and activities all around while another may prefer a quiet, rural environment with a slower pace. What do you love most about your home? Does the environment make you feel inspired, happy, relaxed? Take time to think about your ideal environment... how does your current status compare?

What small things can you add or change to make your home environment more amazing?

Fun home ideas:

• Indoor plants are a fabulous way to purify the air! And they add a positive flow of energy to the home. Some plants take ongoing attention and nurturing while others don't require much at all and are easy to care for.

• Keep potted herbs such as basil, mint and parsley in the kitchen. Fresh herbs smell great, look great and taste great!

• Sleep is super important so be sure to make the sleep space as comfortable as possible... a cozy [or weighted] blanket to snuggle up in, shades or curtains to block out light in the evenings if you have a window(s) in your bedroom.

• Make your bed in the morning - it starts your day off right! And it looks nice.

• Paint the walls. Hang artwork or photos. Add a bright or muted throw pillow for the couch or chair.

• Organize the kitchen and pantry. You'll be encouraged to cook more... and preparing your own meals is generally a much healthier (and cheaper) option!

Our home environment is unique and a reflection of our individual personality, goals and interests. Create one that makes you happy and that works for you. Just as you thrive on different diets and movement/exercise activities throughout your life, let your home environment do that for you as well, evolving with you as you move through different phases of your life.
