Whether we acknowledge it or not, we are all affected by our living environments. In an environment where chi flows easily we feel more energetic. Take a look outside your home to see if chi flows in easily. Are there overgrown trees and shrubs blocking doors and windows? Next, look at furniture arrangement. Is furniture arranged harmoniously? Use form school principles to arrange furniture so that it is easy to walk unimpeded around rooms, and so that people are sitting with a view to doors and windows?
Take an inventory of clutter. Is there stuff blocking your hallway and making it hard to open doors? Clutter in the way blocks energy flow. How much stuff do you have in piles on the floor? Clutter on the floor brings down energy. Are there any items which have bad associations for you? To test this walk around each room picking up objects. See if they lift or lower your energy. Clearing clutter is an instant energetic pick me up.
How well cared for is your home? When we spend time in well cared for environments we feel good ourselves. Fix anything that is broken as soon as possible. Spruce up your home with spring cleaning and decorating. Consider using space clearing to lift the energy. When your home is glowing with energy you’ll feel great yourself. Your home will be like a beacon of light in your neighbourhood and an inspiration to others.
