Feng Shui it does make a difference

This article is from a personal point of view on how I incorporated feng shui into my daily living and home life and found it to make a huge difference. The house feels calmer, more peaceful and I can definitely feel the energy flowing in a more positive direction. I have stated some of the simple changes that I made in this article.

A few months ago I purchased a book about feng shui because I was interested in trying to make my home feel more comfortable. I looked through the book and found many interesting simple concepts and ideas that I could try. I found this to be very encouraging, so I set about rearranging my home.

In the book my bed was placed in the "mortuary position". This means the foot of my bed was facing the bedroom door. The expplanation for this is in China coffins are placed in this position when awaiting collection. That was a bit disturbing. The book further explained the person who is sleeping in this position can expect restless sleep and the general feeling of been uncomfortable. I was certainly feeling that way. So I changed my bed's sleeping position and found I have been sleeping a lot better. Which believe me has improved my demeanour.

The book also recommends that you should incorporate the five elements in every room of your home. The five elements are wood, fire, earth, metal and water. I had to sit down and have a really good think on how I was going to achieve this. Good thing the book provided a good range of options for each element that really helped to say the least. So in the end I achieved this goal.

Why the book recommended that you do this. It helps to provide good chi which is energy flow. A good flow of chi also provides peace and harmony. The occupants will also be more positive and will have an easy passage through life. Placement of the furniture also plays a part in good energy flow. It was time for a change anyway.

Colour is also important. All the colours mean different things. I looked at all the colours and their meanings and chose the ones that appealed to me. I actually enjoyed achieving this concept because I simply love colour. It can make you feel positive and happy.

All in all it was not so hard or expensive to achieve some of the basics of feng shui. It was actually fun. If you want to change the way you live try feng shui. It does really work.
