As we spend so much time in our homes, its important to keep the energy as high as possible and free from blockages which may cause us to feel tense or anxious. Here are 10 ways to raise the energy of your home so that you have a space where you can feel safe, relaxed and inspired:
Fresh air
Windows should be opened regularly, especially while you are sleeping to allow more oxygen in and allow chi to circulate. This will allow you to wake up with more energy and a clearer head.
Declutter
Any type of clutter or old objects with bad memories should be given away. Clutter can be stored in baskets if there is nowhere for it to go and should never be stored on the floor.
Clean With Essential oils and Natural Cleaning Products
Your home needs to be cleansed regularly to keep the space clear from any blockages, release any stagnant energy and allow the chi to flow. You can also place a bowl of salt in each corner to absorb any negative energy.
Feng Shui
Feng Shui is the Chinese practice of living in harmony with our environment. Every area of a room or the entire home represents a different area of life and a different element from the Chinese 5 elements.
The bagua above can be placed with the Wealth and Abundance section in the southeast or turn the bagua so that the side which your front door is on is at the bottom (even if it’s a front door that is no longer used). It should give you some idea of how to boost each area with crystals and other cures to raise the energy of your home and allow it to flow smoothly but its also important to keep each area in balance rather than just boosting the one that’s most important to you.
