According to feng shui, tidy spaces attract feel good vibes! Not an unnecessary luxury, because autumn can also bring gloom with it.
Feng Shui clearing tips for more Chi (life energy) in your home. "As you are, so is your home. And as your home is, so are you," say the Chinese. That can be quite confronting when you stumble over piles of papers, lying clothes, bulging bookcases and dusty knick-knacks. What does that say about you? A home is not just a place with four walls and a roof, but the ultimate place to express your identity. The reverse is also true: it is also the most important factor that influences your well-being, your happiness and the lightness with which you live.
Your house and the things you have collected in it say a lot about who you are, where you are in your life, and how you treat yourself. Suppose there is a lot of disorder in your house, it creates chaotic chi – or life energy. That chaotic chi in turn creates disorder, chaos and confusion in yourself and in your life. The more stuff, the greater the chance that you experience your life as unnecessarily heavy.
That does not mean that Feng Shui pursues a minimalist lifestyle. On the contrary. Because we feel richer and more fulfilled when we are surrounded by things that are carefully made of beautiful materials. Objects that evoke a loving memory and are dear to us make us happy. They help define our identity. There is no healthy emotional frame of reference in a very minimalist interior. That can have a negative effect on your awareness of yourself. In addition, objects that stand in the way, are broken or worn out have a negative effect. They take away from you the space to live in freedom. Because every time you see them, they unconsciously trigger a negative emotion. It is therefore better to ban them from your home and from your life.
Cheerful and unhindered Chi in the fall
For a healthy energy in the house, Feng Shui advises to leave room to move. In this way, the Chi can cheerfully and unhindered provide your whole house, and with that your whole life, with new zest for life. This way you not only keep your house, but also your body and life in a healthy condition.
Below are my 8 tips to make space in your home and life:
1. Your home as a personal kingdom
Do you make conscious choices about how you handle your home? Who let you in what items come into your house; where you put them. Or do you blindly follow trends, advice from others or the opinion of your partner? When you become aware of the control you have over your own domain, you are more powerful and independent in life. Honoring your home as your personal kingdom makes it easier for you to see yourself as the queen or king in control.
Because we find it difficult to say goodbye to a certain period in life; from the person we were or from the one we've shared life with, we make up excuses to delay decisions. This way you can tell yourself that you might still be able to use that old blanket for something. But the real reason you're not getting rid of this one is because it reminds you of your dead cat who used to sleep on it. Well-known excuses:
"I'm going to make it soon"
"I'm saving it for my kids"
"Maybe it will be worth a lot"
"It's going to be fashion again"
In doing so, you burden your life with baggage that belongs to another person or to another time and does not make a valuable qualitative contribution to your life.
Rather buy a single item that is carefully made of beautiful materials. And which you also know where it comes from, instead of a cheap mass product of poor quality. Such products devalue the energy in your home and therefore yourself.
As long as you don't know what you're doing it for, cleaning up remains something that "should" and not something you are motivated for from within. If your study is clutter-free, there would finally be room for your long-cherished desire to paint. Examine yourself what you dream of. The more concrete and clearer your wish, the greater your motivation to make room for that wish and to improve the quality of the furnishing of your office, for example.
5.Honor that makes you happy
When it comes down to it, the things that really make you happy can be counted on one hand. More stuff doesn't make for more happiness: you find that much more in the little things. The softness of a wool sweater. The shine of a wooden table. The way the sun's rays draw a pattern on your wall. That one picture of your baby. If you honor what makes you happy, you lose much less attention to things that don't deserve it. Give that one photo a place of honor and don't hide it between a multitude of images.
6 Create regularity and rituals
Neglect makes dull and indifferent. It also draws life force from a space or object. Therefore, choose fixed times to tidy up and clean. Welcome the light into your home when you open the curtains. And thank your house when you close it again. Regularly incorporating moments for care and attention for your home quickly raise the frequency of the energy to a higher arrow. Even a small ritual like a greeting from your home every time you come back in quickly improves the relationship with your home. Your house changes from utensil to a sacred place.
7. Cleanse the room and reward yourself
When you're done cleaning up and organizing a space, it's always good to refresh the energy in that space. Open windows and doors against each other and let it blow through well, and wipe everything off with soapy water. Cleaning at a deeper level is done with the help of good quality incense or sounds of healing music. The crowning glory can be a beautiful, fresh bunch of flowers. Don't forget to reward yourself after a clean-up hour with a nice cup of tea, a walk in the woods or something else that makes you happy. Set a time limit ranging from 15 minutes to an hour, then stop cleaning up and celebrate the victory over yourself. Take a deep breath and admire the result achieved – even if it's only one drawer. This gives energy and courage to tackle the next job.
8. Make life force visible
Often a house is full of things that are not alive or that have not been brought to life. Beautiful, green plants or pets remind us with their presence that we are living beings and like to be surrounded by life and vitality. That not only makes a positive contribution to the quality of energy, but keeps your consciousness much more in the here and now. More grounded.
