If you’ve been looking for ways to improve the your home’s energy, look no further, this post will show you 6 simple ways to Feng Shui your sanctuary.
When the days get longer and the heat is on, there is no place I’d rather be than home.
We are currently in the midst of Cancer season which is the zodiac season of the home. Cancer rules the home, safety and inner security. So we all tend to feel inclined to do a little nesting, self nurturing and entertaining our family and friends. If you are feeling a like you want to spend more time zhush-ing up your home…you aren’t alone.
After being an interior designer for over 14 years, I’ve fallen in love with the art of living. I’ve studied the psychology of the home, feng shui practices and the emotional effects clutter has on our minds and bodies. The home is so much more than just a place to lay our head at night, its the environment in which we bloom.
Making sure that your home has a high vibration is essential to your emotional, physical and spiritual well being. I am going to share 6 ways you can transform your home into a sanctuary that creates a blissful life.
I recorded a podcast episode for you diving deeper into even more of these High Vibe Home tips, take a listen below.
6 ways to transform your home using feng shui:
Tackle projects. Anything that needs to be completed or fixed, needs to be done now. Allowing unfinished projects to pile up around the home can be incredibly draining on your subconscious mind and allow for lingering doubtful thought patterns. It’s so important to finish up to do lists, go through that pile of unopened mail, hang that artwork you’ve been meaning to get to, etc. This can also show up as unfolded or undone laundry, messy closets, a piled up garage.
Balance the masculine & feminine energy in your spaces. When you are wanting to create harmony at home, you need to look at how each living space makes you feel. Today, many kitchens are really modern, with sleek lines and sharp edges. Which is very masculine energy. However, the kitchen represents warmth, love, connection, healing. You want your kitchen to feel warm and you may need to inject some feminine energy into your cooking space. Try adding wood bowls and cutting boards (earthy and warm) or even bring in color and luck with potatoes, lemons and oranges on display.
In your living area you will want a balance of both feminine and masculine to bring harmony into your home. Masculine energy inspires activities and fun while feminine energy inspires nurturing, communication and love.
Rooms that should be more feminine: bedroom, kitchen, bathrooms
Rooms that should be more masculine: office, garage, laundry
Rooms that should have a balance of both: dining room, living room, outdoor spaces
3. Update your entryway. If you have been feeling a little bored or stagnant in your life, you can make room for new opportunities to come to your life by cleaning and updating your entryway. Make sure you clean your front door, sweep the floor around and wipe off any dust or dirt. Revamp your entryway with crystals (I like selenite to purify the energy coming in and black tourmaline to protect your home’s energy). I have an entire e-book about 25 things to you canto your front door to attract more money and abundance, its FREE inside my High Vibe Home workshop. See all my e-books here.
4. Create balance in the bedroom. This one is major. Whatever is underneath your bed can tell you a lot about what you have going on in your life at the moment. I once knew a guy who had a lot of battles he was fighting in his life and when I went over to design his home, he had his guns and rifles stored under his bed. So, know that whatever you have under there, will have a literal effect on your life.
You also want to have your nightstands balanced, they don’t have to be exact but they need to be similar in size and shape. Same with the light on each side. You also want to make sure your nightstands aren’t filled with junk or random things, be intentional about what you keep next to you while you sleep.
Also, if you are feeling like you are ready for a reset or a fresh start…buy some new sheets. These are my favorite.
5. Know your birth chart. According to astrology, your main 3 placements are key in helping you know what elements will support you in living a blissful and happy life. You want to find our your Sun sign, Moon sign and Rising sign. You can book a birth chart readings here with me. I’m a double Capricorn and Aquarius…meaning I have heavy Earth and a little Air in my chart. So when I am surrounded by heavy, earthy objects and lots of windows and light, I feel supported. And to balance out my heavy yang energy, I need more warmth and comfort in my home. You want your home to calibrate with your natal energy.
6. Transform your bathroom into a self care sanctuary. Water is healing and every day that you take a bath or shower you are cleansing off your personal energy from the day. This is key in creating a harmonious home. You always want to be sure that you are giving yourself the royal treatment. What kind of products are you putting on your skin and body? Do you bath products show that you are taking exquisite care of yourself? Are you spending enough time in healing water or are you rushing through your grooming process?
