Feng Shui For Positive Energy Flow

‘Let go of old, negative items that we tend to keep in order to receive new, positive blessings that life has in store for you.’

~Me

I’ve been learning about feng shui for a few years.  Feng shui is a system of laws considered to govern spatial arrangement and orientation in relation to the flow of energy.  In other words, it’s the practice of crating harmonious surroundings that enhance the balance of yin and yang.  

I’ve learned that feng shui is pretty much common sense.  It’s about being clutter-free, balanced and organized so that you can maximize the flow of positive energy that you receive. Not only do we need this in our homes, office spaces and vehicles, but we also need it in our lives. 


A few things that we can do are:

Clear out items that immediately remind us of painful relationships or other painful times in our lives - items with negative associations hold the energy of the particular pain in place. It’s hard to move on to a more positive future when you are regularly exposed to that type of negative energy.

Clear out items that remind you of past failures - Failure energy attracts more failure to your life. If every time you look at an item you are reminded of a failure, you are being exposed to negative energy that screams, “YOU are a failure!”  It’s impossible to feel good about yourself and your successes when surrounded by this type of energy.  

Like I said...common sense.  Before you can receive a blessing, you need to ensure that you have a place for it and that you are not blocking the flow of positive energy with your actions.  So often we try to hold on to old memories and mementos of things in our past not realizing that these things can effect our future.  Let it all go and begin new.  You’ll benefit more from doing things that way.
