3 Essential Feng Shui Tips

Feng shui is the art of arranging your physical space to assist the energy (or ?chi?) to flow without hindrance. While the practice of feng shui originates from China, it has become widely popular with people who care about how their spaces look and feel ? and with what kind of life experience one has within those spaces.

Many books have been written on the topic of feng shui, especially as Westerners want and need to adapt the feng shui principles into modern Western settings of their homes, offices, and buildings. We will not address the entire feng shui system, or all of its practices. Instead, we will share with you the 3 essential steps you first need to know, to get you started.

1) The map. The Chinese call this 8-sided map the Ba Gua. It tells what kinds of activities properly belong in which parts of any given space, whether a room, an office, or an entire house. That is important information to know, if one wishes to create harmony and good energy flow within their space.

The usual kinds of activities assigned to the eight areas of your space are:

● Work/Career

● Relationships/Love

● Health

● Fortunate Blessings (Prosperity)/Wealth

● Center/Harmony

● Helpful Friends/Networking

● Creativity/Children

● Spirituality/Connection with Source

● Inner Fulfillment/Education

It is important to know where within your space each kind of activity will receive the maximum life force energy ? and what kinds of things will obstruct it. After you know that, it is simple to create an auspicious environment where what you wish to happen can easily and harmoniously unfold.

2) Clear the space. Before you even start to do feng shui work on a new or established space, you need to clear the energy that is already there. Why? Because energy attaches to surfaces, and can be held within objects. It is important to learn how to clear and cleanse the area first, to remove stale or unwanted energies, and to invite new, fresh life force into the space.

While you can burn incense or ?smudge? (Native American sacred herbs) before starting the feng shui process, there is a new product available that is even better at clearing energy from spaces. It is called Blue Eagle Invocation? Liquid Smudge. It is based on the dry herb formula and was created by traditional Native Americans in a sacred way.

The Invocation? immediately reaches the stale or trapped energy in all areas of the space, dispels negativity, and provides a clean fresh new start. Invocation? is actually more effective for feng shui than burning incense or herbs, because the properties of the ingredientds are amplified, not consumed. And it can be used in places where it is not possible to burn things (such as office spaces, clinics or hospitals.)

In any case, you must consider how to best clear the space you wish to prepare for your feng shui work. Whether you choose to burn incense, herbs, or to use the new Liquid Smudge formula, the clearing must be done.

3) Install corrective elements to enhance and balance the energy of your space. This last step is the hardest part of feng shui work, but you can easily find what you need in any of the many great books on this topic at your local library, or online.
