Attention All Feng Shui Beginners!
So you want to apply some feng shui in your life, but dont know where to start? Are you hesitant about paying out money for so-called experts who promise to come into your home and give you a reading to advise you? Are you wondering if its all just a bunch of bunk?
Don’t worry because we have some great pointers and tips for all feng shui beginners to think about before they go further. Before spending anything on an adviser or dismissing this ancient science and art as a bunch of bunk, check out the following explanations.
Feng Shui is Based on Oganization and Tranquility
This is one of the most important principles in feng shui and one which the beginner needs to be aware of first. Feng shui is not about painting your front door red to attract wealth, nor is it about having to place your sofa exactly here or your bed exactly there. It is about attracting calm, order, peace, balance and harmony into your life. One of the first things that beginners to feng shui are advised to do is to de-clutter their home as much as they can.
Why is this important? Because clutter causes chaos and stress in a home. This is a scientifically proven fact. If your living environment is cluttered with all sorts of things you feel disappointment and guilt over unfinished projects and chores. You are also frustrated and annoyed when you can’t find an important item amid the mess.
Some feng shui beginners might immediately dismiss this element but think about it. If your home is messy and cluttered, how does that make you feel? Do you feel positive about your home and good about yourself? Probably not.
Feng Shui Helps to Create Specific Moods
Color is a big part of feng shui, but not because certain colors are considered lucky or more desirable than others; this is a big misunderstanding that most feng shui beginners have. Instead, color is used to create mood or to enliven and energize a room or a home. Bright, vibrant colors can be an instant pick-me-up, while warm and soothing colors can relax and calm you. Strong colors like red and purple are seen as fiery and bold, and are used sparingly.
Scientists have done studies on the effects of using colors to stimulate moods. The colors around people do affect how they react. Bright colors are used for things that people want noticed. Red is probably the color used the most for getting peoples attention.
So if youre a feng shui beginner, dont get overwhelmed with the concept, and dont dismiss it that easily either. You need not believe in the superstitious, hocus pocus bunk that some people have mistakenly attributed to feng shui, but you can appreciate the aspects of this art that are effective as well.
If you still need more proof, just try cleaning out your closets and repainting your bedroom, and see if those changes dont bring some positive energy to your life as well!
