Energise your New Year: Declutter with Feng Shui

Turn your living space into a haven of positive vibes and good energy using the fantastic combo of Feng Shui and ancient Greek wisdom. Picture your place as the ultimate chill zone – ready for a bit of a makeover.

You know that unbeatable feeling when your home is all neat and organised? Feng Shui and decluttering are the dynamic duo that can bring that vibe into your life. Whether you’re gearing up for a new season, moving, or just caught the Feng Shui bug, there’s never a bad time to declutter and transform your space.

Clutter is like a vacuum for good energy, and Feng Shui is our superhero here, helping to kick it out. So, say goodbye to the mess, and put things in the right spots. Imagine it like arranging your favourite things at a cosmic picnic, where everything has its own little happy corner.

The goal? To kick out the clutter that’s been blocking those good vibes and let the positivity flow in.

Find your Feng Shui Energy Map: The magical Bagua adventure
Let’s start our Feng Shui escapade with the mystical Bagua – the treasure map for good vibes in your home. Split your space into nine awesome sections, each carrying its own unique energy. Align the Bagua over your floor plan, spot the zones that need some love, and let the declutter magic unfold.

The Bagua includes areas like wealth and prosperity, fame and reputation, relationships, family, health, joy, knowledge, career, and helpful friends. Each spot has its own energy, and by figuring out where they are in your home, you’re set for decluttering success.

Stroll through your home room by room, highlight the spots that are causing you some headaches, and make those areas your decluttering priority zones. This isn’t just about tidying up; it’s about inviting good energy to hang out in your favourite spots.

Pick your declutter dates: Your home, your schedule
Decluttering isn’t a one-day affair; it’s a series of small, joyful victories. Imagine having a friendly date with each room in your home. Start small, stay focused, and watch the magic unfold. Feng Shui is all about good energy, so get yourself in the right zone.

Choose a date and time that works for you, and tackle one area at a time. Feng Shui believes in the power of intention, so make sure you’re in the right headspace when you dive into your decluttering sessions. Open the windows wide, let the fresh air and natural light flood in, and maybe toss in some good-smelling essential oils. It’s not just cleaning; it’s a self-care shindig.

Fire up with cool colours: A journey to good vibes
Jazz up your living space with some Feng Shui colour magic – it’s like dressing up your home in a happy outfit. Enter the world of fire element colours – red, yellow, orange, purple and pink. These hues bring good vibes like motivation, happiness, abundance and serenity.

Feel like you need a boost? Wear clothes in these colours, visualise them, or bring items in these shades into your decluttering space. It’s like creating a positive colour palette that resonates with your happy vibes. Steer clear of black’ it’s an energy dampener, attracting low-level vibrations that can make you feel low.

If you’re feeling extra ambitious and want to infuse your space with a fresh vibe, consider painting a wall or two in one of these uplifting colours, giving your home a Feng Shui makeover that radiates good energy!

Keep what sparks joy: Decluttering with a Joyful heart
The heart of Feng Shui decluttering philosophy is keeping what truly sparks joy. It’s not about bidding farewell to everything but creating a curated space filled with items that make your heart sing.

Channel your inner Marie Kondo and ask yourself: Does it bring joy? If it does, it’s a keeper. If it’s not serving you or feels like a burden, it’s time to part ways. Feng Shui encourages you to surround yourself with high-vibrational items – things that hold sentimental value and bring positive energy into your home.

Consider placing a sentimental object with high vibrational energy at the center of each room. It could be artwork from your favourite vacation, a handmade blanket passed down through generations, or anything that holds personal meaning and positive vibes.

Remember, decluttering is a journey for you, not because you feel like you ‘should.’ View it as a joyful reset button for your life. Bid farewell to the past, embrace the present, and step into the future with a fresh perspective.

Feng Shui is more than just rearranging furniture; it’s a playful technique that helps you create a living space that reflects your joy, balance, and positive energy. So, embrace these Feng Shui techniques with a smile, and let the good vibes flow into your home.
Happy decluttering.
