time cleaning and dusting something that is of no use to you. It drains your energy and evokes negative feelings.
Feel the positive vibrations in our room. Some things instantly make you feel good, while there are other things you could hate on sight. Keep the good stuff and place it in a prominent place where it makes you feel good. Don’t even try to get used to the things you hate. Throw it out. Just like that. Don’t hesitate. It won’t do you any good to hang on to something you hate just in case one day it may be of some use. It’s not worth it.
Keep your room spotlessly clean. Clean out every nook and cranny from the ceiling to the floor and all the windows and walls. While you are cleaning remember, if you come across more useless clutter- throw it out.
In the bedroom remember to keep everything in soft pastel shades that induce a soothing relaxed feeling. Bright loud colors create too much energy that may not be conducive to sleeping.
Do not use too much of white while doing up your house. According to Feng shui, white delivers ‘cold energy’. It does not envelope you in the warm and cozy feeling that you would want from your home. If using white is unavoidable you can take certain measures to counteract its effects. Place a lot of bright colored flowers around the room, hang bright cheerful pictures on our walls and try and have a few well-placed colorful curios and center-pieces.
Feng shui is not only being used in the home. In recent times it is becoming increasingly popular in the workplace too where it is used to encourage better working relations, productivity and most important profitability.
