Even A Little Feng Shui Can Help – Fuzzy Wuzzy Wednesday

If you’ve looked into feng shui for your home, you know it can involve a lot of work and rearranging.  Many of us simply are not up to that task.  If the arranging of our homes requires a large investment of time and trouble, feng shui may be discarded entirely.

However, even a little feng shui incorporated in the space we inhabit can be helpful.

What can you do, then, if you desire the benefits of feng shui living but can’t swing an entire transformation?  Choose a few simple items that you can fit into your lifestyle and home.  Here are some simple feng shui elements that are easy to do and won’t disrupt your entire household.

(None of these feng shui methods are meant to replace common sense, hard work, thoughtful problem solving, a friendly smile, or a gentle touch.  But, it is believed by many that certain colors, shapes, smells, and sounds enhance various senses which can produce desirable results.)

Purple Color: You won’t become rich automatically if you include the “royal” color purple.  However, therapists who study responses to color suggest that purple improves problem solving, which is often exactly what you need to improve your ability to get a job done and impress the boss.  More money?  Maybe.  A pretty amethyst vase or candle would be lovely.

Pink Color: You won’t summon a loved one to your side magically by scattering soft pink candles around the room, but many feng shui experts believe that this color soothes the heart and opens it to gentle, unconditional love.  It can’t hurt!

Stones: The element of earth in the form of rocks, pebbles, stones, and sand are believed to keep us grounded and feeling safe.  With this nature element in our homes we feel we will be nourished and cared for.  A simple bowl of pretty stones or a pretty candle and pebble arrangement feels and looks very earthy, and pretty.

Glass: Magnifying the light with glass, crystals, and mirrors is a very powerful feng shui principle.  Water fits within this category of energizing and healing elements.  Light is essential to our health and well-being so it is only natural that the more we incorporate light into our lives, the better we will feel.

Oranges: This fruit is often considered by feng shui enthusiasts essential for good luck and prosperity.  Whether or not you believe that, a bowl of oranges can spark interest with the bright color, and the simple smell of citrus perk you up.

Lavender: This is a very familiar aroma for many people, but did you know that it is believed to calm and promote sleep?  Keep a sprig of lavender next to your bed and take a few deep breaths when you lay down.  Lavender aroma is also believed to calm babies.

Just a few of these elements in your home may be just what you need for an energy boost, relaxation, or a little inspiration.  Choose one feng shui element today and enjoy a few moments reflecting on how you feel.  Have a wonderful Wednesday!
