Apply These Feng Shui Tips Today

If you're interested in feng shui, you might be overwhelmed, but don't worry. This ancient art and science has some application for just about everyone. Even though many people tell you that you'll need a "feng shui expert" to come to your home and give you a reading as to where your positive energy resides and what should be done in each room of your house, this isn't something you usually need to do.

Anyone can encourage positive energy to flow, as well as get rid of negative energy, with a few simple feng shui tips that you can apply immediately.

Feng Shui Tip #1

Perhaps the most important feng shui tip is to start decluttering. Excessive clutter, simply put, is an energy drainer by feng shui standards. This can be old clothes that you know you won't wear again, broken appliances that will never be fixed, or anything else that you're not going to use. Everything is just a reminder of an unfinished project or unmet goal, which can drain you both emotionally and mentally.

This de-cluttering feng shui tip also applies to bigger things like car parts, furniture etc. if you have more than two large sofas in your living room, how come? If you have a garage full of useless car parts, why is that?

If your answer is "just in case", that means they are useless pieces of clutter and should be gotten rid of immediately.

Feng Shui Tip 2

Take note of color in your home and in your place of employment. Color can affect both your mood and your emotional state. As an example, one good feng shui tip is that when you want to increase your energy, use bold, bright colors in rooms you spent time in before you head out for your day, such as in your breakfast nook or kitchen. Use darker, warmer colors if you want to quiet your mood, such as in the bedroom or living room. You may want to consider using warm brown or green shades in these rooms.

You need to be a bit careful when using the above feng shui tip. Some people think the entire room and everything in it needs to be this chosen color. Too much of one bright color can make you feel anxious and tense. Too much of a dark color can depress you and make you feel down.

It can be a good idea to take a step back from your room, stand at the entrance to it, and be honest about it. Is the color a bit much? If so, tone down the shade or use something neutral throughout with your other colors as an accent.

The above are two very quick, simple feng shui tips to use in your own home, so that you can begin to feel the positive and powerful effect of positive energy, once you welcome it into your surroundings.
