Feng Shui on the Art of Creating Sacred Spaces You might have heard of Feng Shui when it comes to “at home” decorating. People who incorporate Feng Shui into their homes want a more balanced and organized lifestyle. According to Chinese History, Feng Shui originally began as a way to determine areas that were safe to raise a family and to build a good life. Today, Feng Shui is used the same way; we incorporate Feng Shui fundamentals to building a more harmonized space. The literal meaning for Feng Shui is “wind” (Feng) and “water” (Shui). I bet you didn’t know that! So why is wind and water important? In ancient Chinese history, farms were specifically located in areas that were not affected by harsh winds, but were surrounded by pure streams of water. Many farmers thrived on this idea of cultivating acres of land that were sustainable and free from severe weather. Since then, Feng Shui has been altered by generations and scholars who transformed this concept into a practice or a discipline.
There are many Feng Shui concepts, but the general idea is to place objects in the home that follow the natural flow of energy, “Qi” or to place objects that have symbolic meaning of harmony and balance. According to Meghan from Team Sivalya, following are the things to consider when creating a Feng Shui into your home: Your “Happy Place” We all have that one area in our home that we spend the most time in. What’s your favorite room, is it your office, entertainment room, bedroom, living room? Discover that area you love to spend time in and see what things in that room needs an architectural transformation. Structure of your “Happy Place” How is your favorite room organized? Take a good look at the layout of your space to determine what objects or furniture that needs to stay, move, or find a new home, like the saying goes…”a clean home is a happy home.”
And, of course if you think you’re better off hiring someone with better expertise on finding balance, there are Feng Shui consultants that will more than help you find balance and harmony.
