    Feng Shui is the Chinese art of creating an environment that reflects what you want in life. Feng Shui is the use of colors and objects placed strategically in your home to get results for your desires.

    First, It is important to first clean your home and free your life of clutter. A cluttered environment equals a cluttered mind. Next, stop hanging on to those broken things, either fix them or throw them out. Broken things equal a broken spirit. Allow yourself to take the time to take care of the little things that have been piling up, bills, paperwork, clear your mind of old tasks. Starting your new home with a clean slate will make it easier to attract the things you want in your life. Make sure you bring life into your space, meaning a plant or plants, DEAD PLANTS MUST GO, make sure you water and nourish them (plants represent life and growth). The color green represents prosperity, please be aware of how you treat the “green things” in your home. Avoid overbearing overpowering lighting as much as possible. Light is used as a tool, not to drown you out, don’t be a candle in the sun. If your home is drafty, make sure you seal those areas. Drafts take money from your home and cause health issues.

    These are just some tips to get started. A great source to begin your feng shui environment is http://www.ivillage.com/what-bagua/7-a-220537. This site explains Bagua, which is a map of your home that breaks down each space in your home by areas in your life. For instance your entrance is the career/life path area, in order to bring what you want to that area you should use the color black in that area and put up pictures of people that you aspire to be like. The other areas that areas of Bagua are skills & knowledge, family & foundation, prosperity & abundance, fame & reputation, relationship & love, health, creativity & children, and helpful people & travel. All of which are explained on this website article and which are easy to transform into your life.

    So in conclusion, it’s important that you map out your home correctly and understand exactly what it is you want for this process to be most effective.  Feng Shui can have such a wonderful affect on your life and give you fast life changing results. The most important part to remember is that you must believe in what you are doing wholeheartedly and keep your mind and home clutter free.
