Spring is the perfect time to renew your home, garden and life. ?If you have been lacking the motivation to get started with clutter clearing or a home improvement project, tap into the active energy of the season to jump-start the process.? Remember, as you shift your surroundings, you shift your life in the process.
Spring is associated with the Feng Shui element of wood that represents growth and expansion.?? Where in your life are you seeking greater expression???? Career, relationship or health?? How can you symbolically shift this area of the bagua life map in your home to reflect this desire?? ?
One of my recent clients was experiencing a lack of passion and connection in her ten year marriage. ?I visited the relationship area of her home, located in the master bedroom, and noticed the headboard was up against a window, a dog bed blocked her husband?s path to the bed, the walls were white (the same color as the rest of the house) and the TV was the focal point of the room. ?Based on a Feng Shui assessment, the room was energetically imprinted with a lack of support, blocked access, lack of intimacy and conflicting yin (rest) and yang (active) energies.
The first step was to move the bed to a solid wall and relocate the dog bed. ?A sage green paint color was chosen for the walls (representing harmony and the heart chakra) and a pair of red accent pillows was recommended for the bed (the color of relationship and passion).?? Further suggestions included placing the TV in an armoire and adding aromatherapy candles as reminders of romance. The overall result was a nurturing space that supports greater intimacy for the couple.
We are imprinted by our surroundings, for better or worse.? ?The closer the environment is to you, the greater its impact on your wellbeing, which is why our homes are so important.? This spring, consider making a few simple changes to shift the energy of your home and life:
Groom your landscape and porch.? Remove dead plants from garden beds and container pots and replace them with colorful flowers and plants.? Add a new doormat to refresh the entry of your home.? Stimulate uplifting energy near your front door with a pleasant sounding wind chime for a positive first impression.
Bring the vitality of nature indoors.? Place a vase of colorful flowers on your dining table or desk to brighten your day.? Hang colorful or inspiring artwork on your walls.? Throw away dried flowers that lack vital life force.? Paint the walls a new color and consider changing your curtains, pillows or bedding to create seasonal interest.
Enhance your personal energy.? Get a breath of fresh air and exercise by gardening in your own backyard or take daily walks to get your physical energy moving.? Start a home project or new hobby to expand your creative expression.? Nothing in nature is static, and your home and life should not be either.
Enjoy transforming your surroundings (and yourself) this spring through the power of place. ? If you would like assistance, feel free to visit my website www.CynthiaChomos.com
