I am currently preparing another space in my home for Feng Shui. Because Feng Shui is a very organized practice, I like to kind of “cleanse” my space before I begin really applying Feng Shui principles. My Feng Shui cleansing ritual consists of a few different cleaning techniques and painting. The first and most important thing to do is literally cleanse the space. Doing this will give you a pure canvas to start with. Cleanliness brings good energy in Feng Shui, so that is always my first focus.

I start by laundering anything in the room that can be laundered. This includes things like blankets, sheets, pillowcases, and rugs. I will usually get the drapes or curtains dry cleaned if they are not able to be home washed. I dust all of the furniture once the room is free of all linens, rugs, etc. If there are any other elements, such as lamps or small decorative items, I dust and clean them, too. Next I clean the windows and make sure they are crystal clear. Having clean windows brings in light and that light brings positive Chi or energy. This is very important in Feng Shui.

Once all of that is done, I get ready to clean the floors. If they are hardwood floors I usually sweep them twice-over to get all of the dust and other particles off of the floor. Next I use hardwood floor cleaner to get them as clean as possible. If there is carpet in the room, I vacuum the carpet very thoroughly. Next, I steam clean the carpet to rid it of all dirt. Once it dries, the room is ready to have Feng Shui applied to it!

After I get my room as clean as possible, I choose a paint color. If you are lucky enough to have a new home with the paint color you already want on the wall, you can probably skip this step. Otherwise, this is a very important step in doing Feng Shui to a space. Depending on the location of your room and what the room is, there are different colors that are desirable in that space. However, if you want to stick with very neutral colors, you can. Good Feng Shui paint colors are generally flesh tones and neutral tones such as taupes, light browns, light greys, and creams. Some areas of the space can handle more vibrant colors such as reds and blues. This can be determined by the Feng Shui map. Read the rest of this entry »

The Feng Shui Bagua Mirror is a pretty common Feng Shui item.  Having 8 sides, the Feng Shui Bagua Mirror is shaped like an octagon.  There is usually a border with lines, called trigrams, around a smaller mirror.  The mirror borders are often made of wood and painted.  The mirror itself is round or also an octagon shape.

Many people have Feng Shui Bagua Mirrors for aesthetic reasons.  Some have picked them up in their local china towns because they simply liked how they looked.  Others have bought these incredible Feng Shui items for Feng Shui purposes.  However you came across the Feng Shui Bagua Mirror, there are a few things you should know to maximize your mirror’s potential.
