People and
the natural environment are interconnected; they resonate with and complement
each other. As long as we follow natural law and stay in sync with Nature,
Nature will bring us auspicious energy and keep negative energy at bay. This is also what we normally call "Feng Shui".
The
following are some Feng Shui tips for your home:
Do Not
Display Furniture with Sharp Corners
Furniture
with sharp corners creates wariness and tension in the mind. The pointed
corners are like the tips of swords, cutting and wounding the energy field. Sharp
furniture also increases the likelihood of children getting injured when
playing in the house.
Display
Auspicious Accessories in Your Home
Keep in mind
that every item has its own unique energy field.
Skeletons
and death-related accessories should generally be avoided as they radiate the
energy of death and deterioration.
The master bedroom
should not display collection of swords, weapons or pictures of predatory
animals such as eagles and tigers. These objects are inconsistent with love and
affection. The best accessories to feature include those that connote love,
even better would be displays of objects that come in pairs, as a couple. Symbols
that are singular, or in multiples of three, are not considered signs of love and
harmony.
There Should
Be No Junk around and Under the Bed
The bed
should be clean and clear, both above and below.
The Bedroom
Should Be Tidy
Your bedroom
is a mirror of your life: It directly reflects your image. The bedroom should
always be kept clean and tidy, especially the closet. Feng Shui theory posits that fabric attracts positive energy, and therefore a neat wardrobe or closet
will naturally bring auspiciousness.
The Rooms Should Always Be Bright, Dry and Fresh
Keep your
doors and windows clean, and open your windows as often as much as possible for
ventilation, fresh air and plenty of light.
Ensure that
your rooms are not dark, wet and dirty, as they attract negative energy, and
people who live in such environments are susceptible to illness. Mold and foul
odors draw forth negative energy. Garbage and food wastes should he disposed of
quickly in order to keep the hone smelling fresh and feeling positive.
Conclusion
Feng Shui is
not simply the physical aspects of the home. It also comprises of the hearts
and the minds of members living in it.
When a family
loves and supports its members, the family is manifesting positive energy and blessings.
It is a natural law that if harmony exist within ourselves
and in our environment, the Divine will be drawn into our lives. A loving, caring,
supportive and grateful family environment will
form a powerful, auspicious energy field that can nurture us and ensure
continued flourishing.
Believe in
Cause and Consequences
If you
follow the natural law, you will be successful. Remember the old saying: “If
you plant melons, you’ll get melons. If you plant beans, you’ll get beans.” In
other words, we reap what we sow. By doing simple good deeds every day, we cultivate blessings. If we plant seeds
of love by helping others in need, our own families will be blessed with Iove,
compassion and good fortune.
A Chinese philosopher
once said, “Self-cultivation first, then form a harmonious family, then govern
the country and then bring peace to the world”. Self-cultivation is the
foundation of our future success and happiness. Cultivating virtue is
ultimately much more important than selecting furnishings for the home. Good
fortune follows virtuous people; wherever they reside is an auspicious place.
