Positive Energy For Your Living Space!

We have always emphasised how important it is to have good energy around the house. Read on for some handy Feng Shui tips to increase the flow of positive energy and prosperity into your home.

Focus on the entrance: The first rule of Feng Shui is to make sure that your entrance is welcoming to your visitors. Display a visually-appealing painting at the entrance to create a good impression.

Choose the right colours: Using colours in your home based on how you respond to their energy is a crucial component of the decorating process. Sometimes a room just needs some relief from the energy associated with its predominant colours.

If you have interior wall colours in a fiery hue, it may sometimes leave you feeling fatigued. Don’t forget to pick simple accessories in cool tones to balance the bold shade. You can even refresh your walls with fresh colours to breathe life and energy into the entire space.

Get rid of the clutter: Freeing yourself from unwanted things in the house is an important element while trying to welcome positive energy. This does not limit to your daily garbage but also to defunct appliances such as watches, clocks, pens and television sets that emit negative energy.

Be conscious of your furniture arrangement: Make sure that your furnishings are arranged appropriately to allow a positive flow around them. You shouldn’t run into the back of the sofa when you step into a living room.

Display Feng Shui-friendly décor: Lucky bamboo, Egyptian evil eye, windchimes, the Laughing Buddha, Mandarin duck, tortoise, floating fish, flowing water are some of the auspicious symbols of Feng Shui that you could try and incorporate into your décor scheme.

Pro Tip: Feng Shui is also about mending broken things. If you have broken flooring that needs to be repaired, make sure to get it fixed as it is believed to affect your relationships as well.

Reiki And Colours!

Colours bring far more than visual joy. They bring a bag of emotions and possess healing properties, whether you feel blue in sickness or green with envy (pun intended). This had led to their usage in most of the methods of ancient sciences. Through the ages, the use of colours has remained consistent for healing purposes.

In fact, did you know that in Ancient Egypt, houses had coloured glass rooftops so that the sunrays could pass through the roof and enter the patient sitting indoors? That’s not all. Chinese associated each organ in the body with a distinctive colour and used it for healing, similar to the practice employed by Reiki practitioners for treatment. Interesting, don’t you think?

According to the principles of Reiki, the body has seven main chakras, each located along the spinal column and associated with a colour. It is believed that when these colours are imbalanced, they lead to mental and physical ailments, which can be cured with the help of appropriate colour.

This restoration of balance is done by Reiki practitioners through a variety of techniques, one of which is aura reading. As per Reiki, it is believed that the human body is surrounded by electromagnetic fields, which vibrate at a particular speed to produce specific colours or auras. These colours or auras are produced depending on the person’s health and state of mind. The practitioner focuses on helping find the positive aspects of the aura and restore the balance of the individual.

If you want to be in line with all the chakras in your body, it may be a good idea to look at your home colour shades and paint your walls a fresh hue like yellow, green, orange, indigo or purple.

For rooms where you wish to perform Reiki, it is a good idea to go with colours like beige, blue, brown, pink or purple rather than overly stimulating shades such as red or orange.
