Today is Friday the 13th, usually considered an unlucky day, but we’d rather talk about something more auspicious, like how you might be able to change your luck for the better – using feng shui.
Feng shui is an ancient Chinese practice that aims to create balance and harmony in the home and other spaces, to help improve luck and well-being. It’s all about the arrangement of objects and the use of certain colors, symbols, and elements to create a positive flow of energy. Here are five simple ways you could incorporate its principles into your home and life, without having to move any furniture…
Clear the clutter: Clutter is not just unsightly – it also blocks the flow of positive energy. Start by getting rid of anything you no longer need or use and make sure to regularly keep your space clean and organized.
Use the power of color: Different colors have different meanings in feng shui. For example, red is believed to bring good luck and prosperity, while blue is said to promote calm and tranquility. Being mindful of colors in your home could help attract the energy you desire.
Play with water: Water is a powerful symbol of wealth and abundance in feng shui. You could try placing a small fountain in your living room or business to attract fortune and prosperity.
Keep plants: Plants can bring life and energy into a space, not to mention lush greens that look great with any color scheme. Try placing a few plants in your home or office to help pull in those good vibes.
Add symbols of good luck: In feng shui, certain symbols like bamboo plants and laughing Buddhas are believed to bring good luck. Decorating your home with these auspicious symbols could also help change your luck for the better.
