Feng shui is a term that means "wind-water". There are many versions of Feng shui that you can learn from all kinds of classes whether online or in a traditional class.
The basis of Feng shui is that it allows you to achieve harmony with your surroundings and the environment. This is achieved through arranging your space, planning your agriculture, and more commonly, arranging the furniture and decorations of your home.
Feng shui has been practiced for over 4000 years in China but only in the last couple decades has it really taken off in the rest of the world.
The belief is that everything has energy and everything in your home or office can either help you accomplish your goals or even hinder them.
Feng shui teaches you to understand the energy that is in everything from your body to pretty much anything that exists. By understanding this energy, you gain the insight to arrange your home or office to help you reach any goals that you set by increasing the good energy and eliminating the bad energy.
Feng shui uses two main tools. There is the Ba-Gua and the compass. The Ba-Gua is a map that contains the symbols of the I Ching upon which feng shui originated.
The Ba-Gua consists of 8 specialized areas, what they represent, and the color scheme that is best suited to them. This is to increase the flow of good energy throughout the entire area.
Feng shui is known to have many ways to improve a person’s life. This is what makes it so popular. The promise of well being, increasing your chance to meet your goals, and improving your overall health is something everyone wants.
The kitchen is the most important area of your home. It is responsible for nourishing your entire family and keeping everyone happy and healthy. In feng shui, the kitchen is a symbol of wealth and abundance also.
The optimal place for your kitchen is the center of your home. If the kitchen is located near the front or back door, the positive energy can escape.
Food gives us all of our energy and enables us to remain healthy. To keep this food energy positive and healing, the food has to be cooked in an organized kitchen that maintains a good balance of Chi. By having a well balanced and energized kitchen, the cook becomes more energized and the entire family benefits.
The best tips for the kitchen are pretty basic and should go hand in hand with the rest of your home very easily. Lighting is an important part of feng shui and in the kitchen, there should be an abundance of natural light if available and if not, full spectrum lighting is recommended. The air should flow nicely and the kitchen should give off a very welcoming energy.
A great way to add positive energy to your kitchen is by using plants and flowers. When placed on your kitchen table, they are not only beautiful to look at but increase the positive energy level greatly. You should use plants and flowers that are yellowish in color because in feng shui, yellow is a great digestive aid.
Like the rest of the house, clutter should be kept as minimal as possible. Since this is the very heart of the home, keep it as happy and warm as possible.
