Your
health is inextricably connected to your environment, which is why good
Feng Shui benefits your health. Granted, Feng Shui may not alleviate
all of your ailments; however, it can help optimize your wellbeing to
the extent that your health is linked to your physical environment. On
the other side of that coin, the lack of
good Feng Shui can cause or exacerbate negative chi, which results in
the kind of physical or mental stress that leads to illness.
One of the home’s main sources of bad
health is the bathroom. Because it is a place of waste, it is also
considered to be a place of dead chi. In addition, bathrooms have
drains which suck or flush away good energy. For this reason, it's best
to keep the toilet lid down and the bathroom door closed, especially if
your bathroom is connected to your bedroom or is near your kitchen –
you don't want the opposing energies to mix. One way to stabilize chi
in the bathroom is by placing a crystal on the toilet tank.
Furthermore, keeping your bathroom clean and disinfected will not only
make it look and feel pleasant, it will also keep it free of germs and
bacteria that cause people to become sick.
Leaky shower heads, pipes, and faucets waste more than water. Leaks represent (and often result
in) a waste of money. They can also influence your emotional state.
Water bills increase when such problems are ignored or allowed to
perpetuate; suddenly you're wondering where all of your money is going
and why you are feeling stressed. Make sure to have a plumber fix water
leaks in or around your home as soon as you discover them.
When
it comes to the health of you and your loved ones, why not have all of
your bases covered with the use of Feng Shui? Not only will you reap
the benefits of this ancient art's healing qualities, you will also
enjoy the way it opens up and brightens the spaces you occupy. As you
begin to make adjustments in accordance with Feng Shui, tell yourself
that you have good health and feel wonderful. These intentions will
then become tied to the physical changes you make and they will come to
fruition in your physical reality.

 Electromagnetic
energy is a heavily discussed topic in Feng Shui these days, and it's
important for you and those you love to be aware of its detriments. All
life forms are made up of subtle, yet complex, electrical fields that
influence vital functions such as metabolism, growth, thought,
movement, and overall health. The human body is composed of ions,
water, and minerals, making it a conductor of electrical energy.
Billions of electrical impulses regulate the activity of every living
cell in our bodies, affecting its ability to heal itself and impacting
our wellbeing.
Typically, electromagnetic pollution pertains to
radiation emitted by things like high tension power lines; however,
invisible Electromagnetic Fields of Energy (EMFs) are an often
overlooked danger to the nervous, endocrine, and reproductive systems
as well as every organ and bone in the body. EMFs are generated by
household and office items such as radios, home appliances, water-beds,
smoke alarms, electric blankets, hair dryers, refrigerators, shavers,
cell phones, computers, fluorescent lights, television and microwave
transmitters, and so on.
Electromagnetic pollution weakens the
immune system and can be responsible for additional physical, mental,
and emotional stress in the body. Achieving optimal health in a flood
of electromagnetic waves is a difficult challenge of our
technology-driven world; thus, becoming consciously aware of this
danger’s existence is you first step to reducing the effects of this
silent killer. Take a look around your electromagnetic environment and
determine which household and office appliances are indispensable and
which ones can be eliminated. If it's simply impossible to avoid the
use of certain equipment or appliances, try to consciously reduce your
use of those things.
To mitigate the effects of EMF radiation
from a holistic Feng Shui perspective, you should avoid microwaving
foods and start increasing your consumption of fresh fruits and
vegetables. Because EMFs deplete the immune system, it's also a good
idea to replenish your body with vitamins, minerals, exercise, and
meditation.

Feng
Shui has two parts: the visible and the invisible. The visible refers
to everything you can see and touch (walls, doors, furniture, etc.).
The invisible refers to the life force energy (chi) and the influences
of energies that previously occupied your space or land. In Feng Shui,
everything involves an intention and an action. Action is the physical
side of the process. When working with Feng Shui, an action is the
tangible (visible) activity of, say, moving the bed to another location
or painting a room a different color.
 Intention
(invisible chi) is the reason why you move the bed and the life change
you hope to accomplish by making that adjustment. If you move the bed
to improve your marriage, visualize the improvement while you are
changing the placement of the bed. Tying the intention in with a
physical action will make the change more effective and help you
proactively fill the space with healing light and love.
Another
example of intention in Feng Shui is cleaning – something people do
more often than rearranging furniture. When you clean, whether it is a
quick run of the broom, wipe of the counter tops, or purge of the
closets and complete reorganization of your belongings, clean with the
intention of inviting a fresh and renewed energy into the space, making
it a pivot point for a positive, productive future. By aligning your
intentions with your actions, you are being clear about what you intend
to do and committing to it.

Whether
you're faced with a minor perplexity or a grid-locking conundrum, Feng
Shui principles can be used to facilitate your arrival to the solutions
of life's many problems. Through the use of awareness and intention,
Feng Shui can be an amazingly effective problem solving and goal
manifesting tool.
There are also two aspects of Feng Shui:
remedial and preventative. If you have identified a minor problem in
your life, remedial Feng Shui can be used to help you solve it. In this
case,
most people don't want to spend a great deal of time on the remedies,
nor do they want remedies to disrupt their lives. Minor cures can be
strengthened through the power of positive thoughts and intention. Feng
Shui remedies are relatively simple and designed to help you improve
various aspects of your life – room by room or project by project. If
you find that one small cure leads you to implement other changes, it
is advisable to take your time between each alteration to see how you
feel  after each one.
Preventative
Feng Shui is applied when you decide that you want to renovate or
redecorate your home. The idea behind this type of Feng Shui is that if
you are going to make significant changes to your home then that is a
great opportunity to improve the energies that exist in those spaces,
thus improving your life. Many Feng Shui cures, when they accompany
redecoration or renovation efforts, will not add any cost to the
project and should help you make more informed choices on the colors,
materials, and shapes that you are going to use, as well as how you
plan to arrange furniture and so on. Preventative Feng Shui has an
element which takes into consideration the time required for more
profound changes; remedial Feng Shui can be applied more on an "as
needed" basis.
In Feng Shui, timing is important. If you
implement changes with a positive mindset, the result will feel good;
if you're feeling moody or stressed, you should leave the changes for
another day. Choosing the right time to commit to a project and
accomplish your goals with a positive frame of mind will result in
better flow of chi and a more harmonious atmosphere.

Creating Smoother Energy Flow
|
It
is difficult to keep life moving in a positive direction when you
occupy spaces filled with blocked energy. Here are a few tips to loosen
those blockages and facilitate the fluid motion of positive chi.
Cleanliness. A clean house provides fresh, clean energy; just the kind you truly need to stay happy, healthy, and lively.
Clear pathways. Keep hallways and driveways open and clear for energy to flow freely.
Clutter. Junk blocks energy, leading to frustrations and obstacles.
Repairs.
Make sure all parts of your home are well kept and in good working
condition. Broken or neglected belongings symbolize decaying energy.
Décor. Clean your windows, bring in mirrors, and experiment with mood-enhancing lighting (natural is preferred).
Living plants. Plants are not only beautiful, but they feed your mental energy and encourage the production of fresh thoughts.

Time for You
|
|
No
matter how insane life is, your wellbeing depends on you scheduling a
little time to relax and center. We are social creatures by nature;
however, we also need some solitude that allows us time to reflect.
Step one: Find your happy place. It may be a cozy
corner in your home, a rocking chair on your front porch, a meadow, a
bookstore or a sauna at the gym. It doesn't matter where it is, as long
as it is a place you associate with happiness and peace.
Step two:
Schedule time each week to go to your happy place and commit to it as
you would with other obligations. This will give you something to look
forward to and a way to reward yourself for everything you do.
Step three:
When you're in your happy place, do whatever it is you enjoy and give
yourself permission to let everything else go for a little while.
You'll come away feeling contented, refreshed, and ready to face
whatever is next.

The Color Green
|
|
In
Feng Shui, the color green belongs to the wood element. Wood represents
new beginnings, good health, and vitality. Feng Shui colors are broken
up into yin and yang colors. Yin colors have a healing, soothing, and
peaceful energy. Yang colors are energetic and motivating. Green is
considered a yin color.
Specific
qualities of green include: serenity, balance, wellness, and spiritual
and emotional growth. Use green as one of your Feng Shui colors
wherever you wish to promote healing, renewal, positive growth, and
fresh ideas. Use green in an office, bedroom, nursery, or any room
occupied by someone with an illness. The best way to incorporate green
is by bringing in plants with lush green foliage.
